The rise of the prince
Chapter 615 Contact War
Chapter 615 Contact War
The army was stationed [-] miles outside the city of Yuzhou, and the cavalry went ahead to investigate first.
The light cavalry of the new army is different from the past. In addition to being equipped with light and thin steel plate armor and fine steel sabers to protect important parts, they are also equipped with short muskets. Zhao Si specially designed them for the cavalry of the new army. It's a pistol, but bigger.
Han Chinese riding and archery are definitely not as good as the nomads who grew up on horseback, but they can make up for it now.
The Mongols' cavalry and shooting tactics mainly consisted of pulling formations, harassing, and shooting the opponent's mounts.
Most of the shooting on horseback uses a light short bow, which has limited power and range. In the famous Legnitz annihilation battle, when the Mongolian cavalry archers faced the Teutonic Knights, their tactics were to pull and wait for an opportunity The knight's mount was shot, and the heavy cavalry strangled the fallen heavy knight.It is difficult for cavalry and shooting to directly kill heavy knights.
But it is different now. The new army has more than 200 cavalry, and Li Xingzhou West Route Army has [-].
Including [-] heavy cavalry with full plate armor, and [-] light cavalry. These light cavalry are different from traditional light cavalry. Except for the saber of Wangfu tool steel grade, they carry pistols instead of bows and crossbows.
This method of warfare has been used in the Western battlefield. The German Holy Roman Empire has a kind of black-shirted knight. The method of tactics is to approach on horseback, shoot with a pistol, and then use the cavalry to move to a distance to fill, and then approach to shoot.Different from the cavalry and firearms soldiers of the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army, the Shenji Battalion strives to fight a wave, and directly fights hand-to-hand after firing bullets, while the black-shirted knights are another style of play similar to nomadic cavalry.
The Black Shirt Knight's combat method turns the crossbow used by the light cavalry to harass into a short firearm, which is more powerful and penetrating. There is basically no armor to prevent close-range shooting, and it does not need to be like an excellent cavalry archer. After such a long training, who would not shoot in the face?
Coincidentally, the musketeers of the new army are dominated by Tsing Yi, while the light cavalry are all in black and red uniforms to distinguish them.
Two thousand pistol light cavalry were divided into four battalions of 500 men each. Originally there were 550 men per battalion, but 200 men were taken away by Di Zhi and went to the east battlefield.
Therefore, on the Eastern Front, the main force is the navy, musketeers, and artillery, while on the Western Front, the cavalry becomes the main force.
Outside the city of Yuzhou, Li Xingzhou did not rush forward. On the first day, he only let the army camp on a hill twenty miles away from Yuzhou, and sent out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation.
He took Wei Yubai and Liu Ji to the front of the barracks to check the terrain.
Weizhou is located in a plain, but the city is not flat, it is surrounded by hills, with small rolling hills on both sides, and the city of Weizhou is on the flat ground at the bottom of the intersection of the hills, blocking the road going north.
The north is different from the dense jungles in the south. There are basically no trees on these mountains, only some sparse bushes. There are very few large forests, which will not block the line of sight, and the slope will not affect the cavalry operations.
Of course, it is impossible for heavy cavalry to fight on this hillside, so after observing the terrain, Li Xingzhou arranged [-] heavily armored cavalry behind, with musketeers in the first row, artillery in the second row, and light cavalry on the two wings. , Because of the slope, the artillery has a wide view and can exert its full strength.
Overall, this is ideal terrain for their side.
After more than an hour of observation, Li Xingzhou deeply realized a problem, he might need a telescope
The terrain under the city of Weizhou in the distance can no longer be seen clearly, but he already has a general goal.
In the afternoon, after lunch, Li Xingzhou summoned all the officers above the battalion level in the new army and began to arrange a specific battle plan.
The whole process was constantly adjusted and corrected in the opinions of everyone. At dusk, a few gunshots suddenly came from outside the camp. Wei Yubai was the first to react. He rushed out of the camp and mounted his horse to quickly gather cavalry troops to occupy several hillsides near the camp. On the high ground, the black-shirted cavalry were all loaded and loaded, guarding the camp.
After a long period of training, these tactical deployments were completed, and the whole process took less than a minute.
After a while, someone came running up the hillside on horseback. They were cavalry scouts of the new army.
"What's going on?" Wei Yubai asked first.
"General, it was the Liao people who attacked us, but they were repulsed. The enemy is coming fiercely, and we need support!" the scout hurriedly said.
"Are there any casualties?"
The scout shook his head and said with lingering fear: "They shot me, but the arrow hit the breastplate." He knocked on the steel breastplate in front of him as he spoke.
"How many people are there?"
"I don't know, the weather is bad, I can't see where the people are."
Li Xingzhou walked over and asked Wei Yubai, "Based on your experience, how should we deal with it?"
"We must support, and there must be no shortage of people, the Liao people want to give us a bad blow!
Fighting kills morale first. They want to give us a head-on blow when we come first and our foothold is not stable. The possibility of damaging morale is great. We can't let them succeed. Many people in the new army are on the battlefield for the first time, especially so. . "Wei Yubai said.
"Okay, you command." Li Xingzhou said as he drew out the sword from his waist and handed it to Wei Yubai.
Wei Yubai nodded, without the slightest procrastination, he reined in his horse and began to mobilize troops.
She asked Liu Ji to lead the musketeers to defend the front of the camp, and set up a three-stage formation. Eight hundred heavy cavalry were pushed back and hid behind the camp. Twelve artillery pieces occupied the commanding heights on both sides of the hillside. The battalion searched down the mountain from the front, and the two battalions were on standby to go up the hillside on the east and west sides. Because of the terrain problem, there were too many people to deploy, which became a burden, and they could go to war when they met the enemy at the same time.
After issuing the order, Wei Yubai was about to go down the mountain with the two battalions of cavalry in front, but Li Xingzhou stopped her worriedly: "You can take command on the mountain, why go down."
Wei Yubai shook his head: "No, the striker needs to be adaptable, and the subordinates also need to command. The commander is in charge of the central army. There must be no accidents, so the prince stays on the mountain." Before he could refute, he returned the sword to him, "Trust me, There can be no one below, and even more so above.”
In the end, he nodded. Compared with war experience, Wei Yubai, who has guarded the border since childhood, must have more wealth than him.
Li Xingzhou rode Meixue to the middle of the camp, overlooked the battlefield below, and reminded Wei Yubai: "If you need support, remember to use signal flares."
Wei Yubai nodded, reined in his horse and started running left and right, commanding the black-shirted cavalry to quickly deploy into a long formation, stretch a huge net, and search down the mountain.
The new army signal flare is similar to the principle of fireworks. It is a new equipment of the new army. It is mixed with a large amount of gunpowder and rosin. When it is used, it is thrown out like a grenade, and then it will burn violently, releasing light and smoke. It is the idea of the new army after several times of training. The way out is not as good as the signal flares of later generations, but it is enough to guide the artillery to shoot.
At dusk at this time, the sky was not completely dark, and Li Xingzhou could still see the situation below clearly from the top of the mountain.
Twelve guns, twelve artillery squads, a total of 96 people, quickly filled, ready to fire at any time.
"Report to the lord, there is a battalion and a capital of the artillery, and they can fire at any time after loading and preparing!" The commander of the eastern high ground reported loudly.
Soon there was also a message from the west side, "The first artillery battalion and the second capital are ready to fire at any time!"
"Wait for the order." Li Xingzhou ordered, and continued to look at the situation below. The two highlands on the hillside are about a mile away from the bottom. The fire support cannot be said to be absolutely accurate, but there will not be too much deviation.
Wei Yu and his two battalions of black-shirted cavalry led by the front advanced to the bottom of the slope. About a thousand people spread out on the front, and the two flank battalions were on standby on the slope, ready to support at any time. The opposite slope was gentle. A grove of cypress trees.
Li Xingzhou watched from a distance, Wei Yubai and others had become the size of fists, just when they had just reached the hillside, several gunshots were fired suddenly, and the battle started instantly.
