Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 95
Due to its proximity to the pass, sandstorms often blow up at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. During the decisive battle between Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, they were indeed affected by the wind and sandstorms.But part of today's wind and sand is caused by man.

Two hundred military horses of Qi's family dragged huge branches and ran back and forth in the upper wind, making the wind and sand more ferocious.

How did Duoduo know this, the cavalry of Dongyao lost their way as soon as they entered the mountain pass, which is why they did not meet Wu Sangui for a long time.

But after all, Doduo has experienced this kind of environment a lot, and worried about being ambushed suddenly, he took out the single-tube telescope to observe the surroundings carefully.

Appearing in the monocular, except for the strong wind and the dust in the sky, there is nothing else to be seen, but the sound of shouting and killing in the valley appears and disappears from time to time.

Dodo smiled coldly:
"Command, the archers shoot blindly in all directions."

"twitter"

With Duduo's order, the cavalrymen of the Eastern Captives took off their strong bows and crossbows one after another, without even looking at them, they began to shoot blindly at the surrounding mountains, forests and grass.

The cavalry and archery of the Eastern Captive Eight Banners is very famous. When the Ming army fought against them, many soldiers would die under the cavalry and archery.

If there are people ambushing in the mountains and grass, this burst of blind shooting can reveal the opponent's true colors.

Huang Ming's men and horses had already put on their eyes when the wind was blowing. He held a high-power binoculars and stared at the Dongyao cavalry.

Suddenly discovering that the cavalrymen of the Eastern Captives raised their bows and arrows one after another, Huang Ming secretly admired their commander Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang made it very clear when he came.

If the opponent shoots blindly, do not shoot, shout, or show your figure. Even if you are shot by a bow and arrow, you must be strong and not make a sound.

Therefore, when he saw the cavalry of the Eastern Captives unfurling their bows and nodding their arrows, Huang Ming immediately realized that these guys wanted to shoot blindly and check the surroundings for ambushes.

He immediately made a gesture to his subordinates, and the soldiers of the Qi family army immediately understood his gesture, and the three thousand Qi family soldiers immediately erected their rattan plaques quietly.

The rattan badge is a constant stock of the Qi family army, they will never lack the rattan badge, this is a must for the mandarin duck formation.

Even though the mandarin duck array has improved, Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiajun are still reluctant to let go of this thing.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Suddenly there was a sound of bowstrings, followed by thousands of arrows firing, no, it should be random arrows firing, Doduo doesn't have so many cavalry.

"Boom bang bang..."

There was the sound of arrows hitting the trunk and branches.

The arrows shot at Qi's army were caught by the rattan tags one after another, and many rattan tags were filled with arrows, like hedgehogs.

The benefits of the rattan shield in the blind shooting of the Dongyao were immediately reflected. The Dongyao cavalry could not hear the sound of shields resisting arrows at all.

Dongyao cavalry shot arrows with great force.

If it is an iron shield, the sound will be very obvious, and it will be heard by the opponent immediately.

But when shooting on the rattan plate, it is not much different from shooting wood. There are woods next to it, and no one will care.

Duoduo has been observing the movement around him. Although he can't see clearly, if someone jumps out suddenly.They will definitely be discovered. Seeing that there is no movement, Duduo ordered:

"Stop shooting."

"Two Niu Lu were exploring the way ahead, and the large army followed. Even if the sky falls, the cavalry must be wiped out today, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty."

After wasting arrows one after another, the cavalrymen of Dongyao put away their bows and arrows one after another under Duoduo's order to stop shooting, and two cavalrymen of Niulu [-] urged their horses to rush out.

Duoduo led eleven Niulu and followed closely behind.

Although the wind and sand had a great impact on Wu Sangui, Dongyao often encountered this kind of weather outside the pass, and they adapted to it much better than the Guanning rebels.

This is also the reason why Doduo forcibly entered the valley regardless of the weather, but he was obviously not prepared for the situation inside.

As soon as he entered the valley, Duoduo suddenly felt that something was wrong. The wind and sand was so strong that he couldn't open his eyes, so they covered their mouths, noses and eyes with their sleeves.

somewhere in the forest
"Marshal, all the cavalry of the Eastern Captives have entered the ambush circle, should we take action?"

Lieutenant General Qi Jiguang has been observing the movement of the valley, and when he saw that all the cavalry from Dongyao had entered the flat area of ​​the valley, he immediately reported to Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang took the telescope and looked at it:
"Send an order, the chariot battalion is dispatched, and the escape route of the Dongcap cavalry is blocked, pay attention to their cavalry and shooting."

"yes'
"Order the Xuanjia iron cavalry to retreat, the artillery to get ready, the firearms battalion to get ready, and try to wipe out the bordered yellow banner of Duoduo in one fell swoop, so that the bordered yellow banner will disappear from the Eastern captivity."

"Yes"

The messenger immediately went down to deliver the order, and Qi Jiguang breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He knew that he finally had the opportunity to wipe out a banner in the east.

This is something that has never happened since the founding of Dongyao, and this battle is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

In the Battle of Salhu, 20 cavalrymen were captured from the east, and almost [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out. How majestic it was then.

It was that battle that made Daming's advantage over the Eastern captives weaken and even perish.

With the help of the wind and sand, the Qi Family Army Battalion quietly began to build fortifications behind Duduo's army, and Duduo was completely unaware of this.

车营
Qi Jiguang's car battalion is an army specially established to fight against the northern peoples.

The mandarin duck formation to deal with the Japanese pirates could not pose a threat to the Dongyao cavalry.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang developed another formation to deal with the Dongcap cavalry, Che Ying!
Its offensive and defensive capabilities can make various northern peoples who lack artillery feel the fear of chariots.

Qi Jiguang's chariots are completely different from the passive defensive line of the Ming army before, so Qi Jiguang's chariot battalion is extremely good at field combat.

Qi Jiguang's chariot is mainly a van, with two doors on the side, and two tiger squat cannons on it, each of which is equipped with 100 catties of gunpowder and 10000 rounds of lead bullets.

Soldiers are divided into regular soldiers and cavalry. The regular soldiers are also chariot soldiers. There are ten people in a team, and six people are responsible for the use of tiger squatting guns.

Two boring hands with rockets, one helmsman who controls the direction of the chariot, and then a captain, ten surprise soldiers, four fusiliers, and two-handed long knives.

There are two rattan players and two palladium players. During the battle, the cavalry team is located between the chariots. When most of the enemy troops are fifty steps away from the chariots, the artillery fires, and the cavalry team fires a salvo of muskets.

After the enemy troops were attached to the chariots, the musketeers switched to long knives and chopped off the horse's legs, and the spears behind them were responsible for killing the enemy troops that fell to the ground.

In addition to chariots, Qi Jiguang's chariot battalion also has a cavalry battalion of 12 people. The whole battalion has a total of 3 people, divided into three parts: left, right, middle.

Among them, there are two flintlock cavalry, fast pistol cavalry, boring palladium cavalry, knife and stick cavalry, another captain and a logistics fireman on the left and right.

In the first round of the central part, a team of fusiliers and three boring palladiums.

In the second and third rounds, a team of flintlocks, four hooks and two boring palladiums.

The time for cavalry to fight is when the enemy is in a panic, urging their horses to chase them down.

This kind of car camp is different from the previous ones, with more advanced configurations, including flintlock guns and mo knives.

Today, as long as the chariot camp is used, it is necessary to wipe out the cavalry of Dongyao. Of course, they can also be wiped out if black armored cavalry is used.

However, Wu Sangui's [-] Guanning iron cavalry were wiped out, and the Xuanjia iron cavalry was already very tired. Qi Jiguang wanted Li Cunxiao and others to rest for a while.

In one, I just didn't want to cause major casualties. In order to introduce Duoduo into the ambush circle, neither the flintlock gun nor the tiger crouching gun dared to move.

It's different now, the Dongyao cavalry has already entered the set, there is no need to leave the guns unused, but fight the Dongyao cavalry with bayonets.

Qi Jiguang couldn't do this kind of thing, and he wouldn't do it. Qi Jiguang's military concept was already quite advanced at that time, and it was not comparable to the barbarians in the north.
