Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 605 Line Tactics
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Whoa!"

Explosions continued here, gunshots rang out, arrows shot through the air, and from a bird's eye view from the air, the torrent of cavalry under the billowing smoke gradually dispersed in the wilderness.

"Mr. Qian, this Jianlu cavalry is hard to chew!"

The commander of the galloping Mingqi headquarters, named Xu Hu, was wearing a double layer of cotton armor with several arrows stuck in it. As the horse galloped, the arrows were shaking. The saber he was holding tightly had several gaps, and the blade was stained with blood. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the cavalrymen under his command who were galloping hard. From time to time, a cavalryman would gallop, clamping his legs tightly on the horse's belly, bending his bow and shooting arrows at Jianlu who was chasing behind him. Xu Hu glared at his subordinate Qianzong Jin Shiqi and shouted shouted.

"If we continue to fight like this, even if we can attack and kill as many captives as possible, I'm afraid our cavalry will suffer heavy losses!!"

Whoosh~
As he spoke, a round of arrows struck through the air, and several screams rang in Xu Hu's ears. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw several knights in the cavalry formation falling under their horses. The robes behind them were not in a hurry to get out of the way, and the horses' hoofs trampled on the corpses. Pass! !
"Afraid of a ball!!"

The ferocious-looking Jin Shiqi clenched the saber in his hand, flying into the air from time to time. The incoming armor-piercing heavy arrows were knocked away. Jin Shiqi's tiger's mouth had already burst open, and blood flowed along the gap. "Now we are not far from the front line of Fu'an Fort. There are still more than ten miles at most, just wait, this revenge will be avenged!"

Fighting continued all the way from the Liao River, and the soldiers on both sides suffered injuries. The Jianlu cavalry led by Azig had an absolute advantage in numbers.

However, the Ming Cavalry commanded by Jin Shiqi was a Manchu cavalry unit under the Ming Cavalry in Fushun. The various firearms and weapons installed under the Qian Liao Cavalry Army were among the best in the entire Liao Ming Army. exist!
Hongwu-style rifles, thunderbolts... play a great role in cavalry battles. This makes the Ming cavalry smaller than the Jianlu cavalry in size, but the damage and casualties they cause are enough to maintain the numerical gap between the two sides.

Among the Liao Ming army, there is a type of unit that cannot be chosen unless it is a big-bodied and round-waisted person, and it cannot be advanced unless it is an elite force, that is, the grenadiers! !

According to the needs of the frontline battlefield, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, successively formed several cavalry armies in various places before Liao Dynasty. The grenadiers under his jurisdiction were selected more strictly.

That is to select among the grenadiers affiliated to each department. The first one is to be proficient in riding skills, so more than half of them will be directly selected.

And if you can shoot accurately and far under the rapid dash, this will cause more candidates to be eliminated!

There is a saying among the Liao cavalry that heavy armor is the best, and grenades are the best. Although the cavalry has been equipped with Hongwu-style rifles (percussion flintlock + carved rifling improved version), this musket is It was developed specifically for the needs of cavalry warfare by the Military and Military Affairs Department under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu in Beijing.

It is lighter in weight than the Hongwu-style rifle, and even uses Hongwu-style special bullets (mini bullets) that combine ammunition and ammunition. The cost of each round of this bullet is high. Although it is easy to carry and load, the range is compromised. This also makes the Ming cavalry armed with Hongwu-style rifles in cavalry battles do more of hunting and hunting!

When it comes to killing power, it is far less impressive than the Ming Cavalry Grenadier.

In order to meet the needs of the frontline Mingqi, among the military industries being built in Shenyang, there are firearms factories and special bullet factories that were built specifically to supply the Mingqi...

In addition to producing what is needed for the front-line cavalry, the department also takes on the important task of improving rifles and cavalry. In order to meet the research needs, a group of people who are not afraid of death follow the army to record first-hand information. This is for the personnel in the rear, Get timely and accurate feedback!
The advancement and improvement of the field of firearms must be catalyzed by war. Under the constant demands of war, massive manpower, material and financial resources are invested, so that changes can be made step by step.

And these take time! !
"Master, we can no longer pursue you!!"

In the galloping Jianlu Cavalry Formation, the stalwart Geshiha became excited, "Our formation has been dispersed by the cunning Ming Cavalry, and now we are heading in the direction of Fu'an Fort..."

"kill!!!"

It was just that Azig, who was red-eyed, couldn't listen to these words at all. The steel knife stained with blood and with several gaps on the blade was held diagonally by Azig, followed by Goshiha roaring, which made even more people angry. Duo Jianlu's cavalry roared and galloped, shooting waves of arrows from the cavalry formation from time to time.

Damn Ming Gou, Ben Beile will definitely kill you all!
At this moment, there was only one thought deep in Azig's heart.

That is to kill all the Mingqi who are fleeing in front of them! !

In this cavalry fighting along the way, the elite cavalry under his command were constantly killed by gunpowder bombs thrown by the Ming Cavalry. Even among the Ming Cavalry, there were even people who set off firecrackers between the riders. This kind of cavalry fighting style , which made Azig extremely angry. If he had the ability, he would fight with real swords and guns! !
Anger made Azig lose his mind.

He even forgot the military orders he led. Deep in Azig's heart, he has always been unwilling to accept it. Why did Dorgon and Duduo become even more favored by their own Khan Amma after his mother and concubine were captured by Ming Gou? What exactly is wrong with Azig! ! !

"Master, the dogs are gone!!"

While Azig was thinking a lot, a shout rang out, bringing Azig back to reality. He saw the fleeing Mingqi in front of the cavalry formation, starting to scatter to the left and right, and then there seemed to be a group of people in the wilderness in the distance. The black lines made Azig feel nervous! !

Inside and outside this very long line, there are flags fluttering.

What kind of play is this? !

Azig felt surprised and suspicious in his heart.

The mount under Azige's crotch began to slow down, and the speed of the riding formation it belonged to was also slowing down. Although the amplitude was very small, everything was changing.

"Deputy General Rong, the Jianlu Cavalry Formation that is chasing Jin Shiqi's tribe has slowed down."

In the Ming army formation facing them, a general on horseback was seen, holding a telescope in his hand, observing the pursuing Jianlu cavalry formation, and said solemnly to Zhu Mei, the deputy chief soldier beside him.

"I saw it."

Zhu Mei put down the telescope, narrowed her eyes and said, "This Jin Shiqi is quite like his father. He fights really fiercely. More than a thousand cavalry dare to fight with thousands of Jianlu cavalry."

"Vice General Rong, do we want to move our department?"

When the general heard this, he looked at Zhu Mei and said.

"Move your ass."

Zhu Mei sneered and said: "For this battle, I specially brought thousands of infantry. If General Jianlu, who is leading the team, is really interested in killing us, he will not sit back and wait for these fighters to come out."

Infantry versus cavalry has no advantage on the battlefield.

"This battle achievement is certain."

However, the general beside Zhu Mei was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he was eager to try it, "This is the first time our army has used line tactics on the battlefield. Jianlu has never encountered it before, but if Jianlu really has eggs, see If we are like this, we will definitely not let this excellent fighter go.”

"Wait, then."

Zhu Mei smiled and said: "Just wait for work. If I can wait, it depends on whether Jianlu dares to fight."

"Here!"

The general promised.

On this wilderness battlefield, an extremely strange scene appeared. The Ming army rushing to support their own army, Paoze, formed a line formation, seemingly alone on the battlefield, while the Jianlu cavalry formation that was chasing the Ming cavalry kept releasing. The speed was slow, and during this period, there were even Jianlu cavalry coming from elsewhere. The Jianlu cavalry, which had been diverted by Jin Shiqi's troops, returned to their own formation. However, on this battlefield, neither side of the war took the initiative to launch an attack.

It seems that both sides are concerned about the behavior of the enemy forces they encounter...
