Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 24: Brother, times have changed.

"It's actually boar skin!"

Zhu Houzhao was surprised and pleasantly surprised when he saw the enemy's makeup clearly through the telescope.

Boar Skin was Nurhaci’s nickname, and later became the nickname of the Eight Banners.

The scout came over just now to report that the other party was wearing cotton armor of several colors.

After Zhu Houzhao heard the first thought in his mind, he thought of the Eight Banners of wild boar skin.

But anything can happen in thousands of worlds. Who knows if there are special habits like boar skin in other worlds.

As for the flag, the scout really didn't see it clearly.

Mainly, they are ancient armies, not standard-bearers under their own banner in blockbusters as shown in movies and TV shows nowadays.

Under normal circumstances in the army, only the head coach of the Chinese army will display the flag of his country, and other officers will carry their own team flags to make it easier for his subordinates to distinguish them.

In addition, in this Gobi environment, the cavalry rumbled forward, and the smoke and dust covered part of the sight.

Zhu Houzhao's soldiers were all promoted from the imperial battlefield militia.

They have rich combat experience, but they know very little about the real world where Ming Dynasty lives.

Therefore, they could not tell which force the other party belonged to just based on their clothes.

When reporting to Zhu Houzhao, they always answered truthfully, leaving it up to Zhu Houzhao to make his own judgment.

As a Yanhuang person, he is also a member of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

When encountering two kinds of enemies, the fighting spirit will reach its peak.

One is a small Japanese melon, and the other is a wild boar skin.

One is a hatred of the country, and the other is a hatred of the family. Their fighting power will definitely explode every minute.

"Give me the order. Once you open fire, don't show mercy to me. Beat me to death."

Although it is not clear who is leading the team on the opposite side, this is not important to Zhu Houzhao.

As long as it's wild boar skin, it doesn't matter who you hit.

While Zhu Houzhao was starting to prepare, Huang Taiji was also observing the situation on the other side.

Although the enemy's camp is a small hill, behind it are mountains and rivers that gradually rise.

This kind of environment is most unfavorable for the deployment of cavalry.

The cavalry is called the king of the cold weapon battlefield. It does not refer to its powerful lethality, but its own dominance on the battlefield.

The light cavalry can detect the enemy's situation and report quickly, providing accurate information to the commander.

Once determined, the cavalry's powerful mobility will be used to directly attack the enemy's weak points.

Even if you can't win, if you turn around and run, the opponent won't be able to keep up.

The cavalry also caused great harassment to the logistics. Without corresponding response methods, the logistics line could easily be disrupted by the cavalry.

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry relied on the information that was one step ahead of the enemy and the ability to run long distances. They were stunned to hold most of the world under their bodies and rub them crazily.

The Eight Banners Cavalry led by Huang Taiji has good combat capabilities.

During the time he entered the imperial battlefield, he humbly asked Genghis Khan for advice, and his understanding of combat improved significantly.

The current environment is not conducive to a cavalry attack.

The identity of the enemy is unknown, so rushing in like this is a taboo for military strategists.

But the enemy will not give him time to conduct detailed investigation. If it is really an imperial force like him, the period of investigation will be enough for the opponent to prepare.

Using cavalry to attack a well-defended mountain stronghold is the stupidest battle command.

Huang Taiji was unwilling to give up.

After careful consideration, Huang Taiji decided to fight first.

It would be best if you can defeat the enemy in one go.

If that doesn't work, just turn around and run away. Not even the enemy's trashy cavalry would have the guts to chase them out.

With this idea, Huang Taiji no longer hesitated and nodded to the commander next to him.

The commander clasped his fists to accept the order, took out his horn, and blew the order to attack.

"kill!"

The commander responsible for commanding the troops at the front receives the order to attack.

He reached out and pulled out the steel knife from his waist, and swung it forward fiercely.The first five hundred cavalrymen launched an attack on the camp.

On the left and right, three hundred cavalry were detached on each side, detouring towards the two flanks of the hills, preparing to attack the enemy's flanks and support the attacking forward troops.

The commander was very cautious and did not devote all his troops to it at the first time.

The hilly terrain is too narrow, not conducive to cavalry deployment, and too many troops will not only fail to defeat the enemy immediately, but may even have a counterproductive effect.

Five hundred leading cavalry and six hundred flanking cavalry on the left and right wings are fully capable of offensive tasks.

If the enemy is as reported, just these thousand cavalry can penetrate them.

If it is a trap, with the mobility of the cavalry, they can quickly break out and retreat.

After the cavalry began to move, the commander waved his flag to the hundreds of archers who were climbing the hillside.

The archers who were preparing to support their own people at a high place received the order and, under the command of the centurion, launched a sprint to the top of the hill, preparing to strike from a high position before the enemy could react.

"Hurry up…"

The centurion leader urged urgently, and the hundreds of archers holding bows and arrows gritted their teeth and worked hard to climb up.

Although the hill was not steep, it was covered with gravel and dust. It was very difficult for them to climb up because they were fully armed.

It took a hundred people more than a minute to finally climb up from a distance of tens of meters.

After climbing over the high slope in front of you, you can clearly see the situation on the other side.

The centurion pressed his hand to make everyone stop. He took a slight breath and raised his hand suddenly.

The hundreds of archers who had been watching him took out their arrows without hesitation, put them on the bow strings, used their hands to use force, jumped up the high slope, and were about to launch a suppressive strike at the enemy below.

The Centurion, who was thinking that his sudden appearance would startle the enemy, was about to give the order to release arrows when a black pipe stretched out from below and pressed against his chest.

The centurion leader's expression was instantly stunned by the sudden situation.

He looked around at his men who were also afraid to move, his throat rolled, and he slowly lowered his head and looked over.

A man wearing strange clothes, holding something like a firecracker in his hand, was looking at him with a smile.

"It's over."

"Fire!"

A Ming Dynasty mandarin sounded in the ears of the centurion leader. Just as he was about to resist desperately, he saw the man holding the pipe against him, and pressed it with his other hand without hesitation.

"boom."

The centurion leader heard a muffled sound, felt numbness in his chest, fell into a trance, and fell back heavily.

"Da da da…"

Fierce gunfire rang out violently, and then suddenly stopped.

Zhu Houzhao, who was observing on another hillside, raised his telescope and looked at the opposite side.

After receiving a wave signal from a company commander on the opposite hillside, he picked up the signal gun next to him and pulled the trigger into the sky.

"grumble…"

The red signal flares shot straight into the sky. The soldiers who had been waiting in the trenches stood up, raised their weapons, and pulled the triggers at the cavalry running toward the camp.

"Bang bang bang... da da da da..."

Fierce gunfire broke out, and the Eight Banners soldiers who attacked from the opposite side were knocked to the ground by the hail of bullets before they understood what was going on.

Zhu Houzhao placed a company on the first line of defense.

To save ammunition, he equipped his soldiers with bolt-action rifles, but not all of them were equipped with bolt-action rifles.

The squad leader and other officers were holding submachine guns.

Each squad also has a Czech-type light machine gun as supporting fire.

A company has three platoons, with a total of nine light machine guns.

In addition, it is under the command of the company headquarters and has a heavy firepower platoon with two Maxim heavy machine guns.

Such a fierce shooting, let alone five hundred cavalry, would not be enough even if it were doubled several times.

The battle ended so quickly that it was beyond imagination.

Many riflemen didn't even finish three rounds of ammunition, and there was nothing left standing on the opposite side.
