evil slave

A sentence written at the beginning: According to the current plot, the protagonist has no generals, does not know how to set up an army to fight such a battle, and does not even know how to keep a reserve team. 【】But the so-called handsome talent is seldom born with. The protagonist of modern people, after all, is not a member of the army, and must always mature in constant battles.Another collection and red ticket, huh, huh.The update volume of [-] words per day is not too small.

It's a pity that it was a step too late. When Zhao Qiang brought Yan Qian and the others to chase after them, He Bao had already led the people to run for 300 meters. During this time, there were remnants of Qing army vests led by Henusu, waiting to solve these Qing soldiers blocking the way. Afterwards, He Bao was nowhere to be seen.There are many forests and trees, it is not easy to chase, Zhao Qiang can only kill the Qing general Xin Xin, and lead people to deal with the rest of the Qing army.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Zhao Qiang is really scared by this battle, lest there will be another Qing army coming out of nowhere, with praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind, then there will be no second Qi Zhuang, the second Cavalry battalion, the second fire horse formation!

With so many horses rushing into the valley to disperse the Qing army, of course it is impossible for the wild horses to be clever. Zhao Qiang has already arrived at the cavalry battalion that is gathering the startled horses on the slope, and Qi Zhuang is looking for him everywhere with an anxious expression. Qi Zhuang who arrived saved his life.

The frightened horses ran for five or six miles towards the valley before they stopped. More than 100 horses fell to the ground with sprained feet due to rocks.The Han soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the Cossacks were driving out the uninjured horses under the command of their respective flags.

The rest of the Qing army that Gu was resisting still had dozens of people. Seeing that the situation was over, Zuo Ling Asutai huddled into a ball, doing the last resistance in vain.In the end, under the siege, Asutai drew his sword and committed suicide. After the final counterattack, the Zhenghuangqi vests also wiped their necks with the daggers they carried.Different from the bravery and bloodiness shown by these Zhenghuangqi Qing troops, the seventy or eighty Zhenghongqi infantry dropped their weapons and consciously squatted on the ground to surrender.There are Saurons and Daurs among them. Some Daur soldiers saw that there were several fellows in the other party, and they were busy making friends with the tribesmen, hoping that the other party would not kill themselves and let them go back.Because they didn't get official orders, those Daur strong men didn't dare to make their own opinions, and they didn't answer those Daur Qing soldiers, just let them stay honest.

When Zhao Qiang went down the slope, what he saw was full of flesh and blood. Some corpses were trampled into mud by horses, and it was hard to tell whether they were his own or the Qing army.Looking at his dead body, Zhao Qiang remained silent as he walked through the mountain road in front of the leader of the Qing army who had committed suicide. These suicides of the Qing army made him re-examine the fighting power and bloody integrity of the Eight Banners.It was hard for him to believe that the elite Eight Banners with more than 200 Zhenghuang Banners almost wiped out his entire army.

Come on, don't be victimized by dogmatism.For a long time, Zhao Qiang has been deeply influenced by the views of later generations. He believed that the Eight Banners of the Qing Army had already been corrupted when Kangxi pacified the San Francisco.When I saw it today, I knew that the words that the Eight Banners were invincible were not blown out.Only these elite Eight Banners of the Zhenghuang Banner can be regarded as elite teachers no matter which dynasty they are placed in.If God hadn't favored him again and let Qi Zhuang come here at a critical moment, he would have been killed twice.

Fear, admiration, and envy are the most vivid portrayals of Zhao Qiang at the moment. He really wants to have such an elite army.

Although Zhao Qiang hated Man Qing, he had to face up to these elite Eight Banners who were good at fighting. The bloody facts told him that he must never underestimate the enemy, and must not take it for granted in a random battle, otherwise he would only be the one who failed.

Qi Zhuang was looking for Zhao Qiang. Seeing him checking in front of the corpses of the Qing army, he hurried over and whispered concerned: "Qianhu, are you alright?"

"fine."

Zhao Qiang glanced at Qi Zhuang gratefully, if he hadn't brought people to arrive in time, and made this outburst of horses, he would be lying in a corner now, and the feeling was too deep for a while.Thinking of those soldiers who died under the arrows of the Qing army, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but feel pain, and almost didn't shed tears.After asking Qi Zhuang a few words about the situation of seizing the horse, he asked him to take the cavalry battalion to assist the gun battalion to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, bring the dead soldiers back to Shouyi City for burial, and take away all undamaged weapons. Drop anything that works.

This battle made Zhao Qiang deeply aware of his own shortcomings. He has always relied on firecrackers, thinking that with an army of firecrackers, he would be invincible in small-scale battles, but he ignored the shortcomings of matchlock guns. He thought that with the three-stage shooting method, he could take it for granted to make up for the lack of firecrackers.However, the fact of the battle made him deeply understand that in order to completely change this kind of thinking, he must not rely too much on firecrackers before improving the firecrackers and expanding the army on a large scale.Because not every time the opponents have time to line up and shoot, and not every battle is a plain, and it is impossible to encounter such powerful enemies like these Zhenghuangqi Qing troops. Their longbows It's really terrible!Another important point is that Zhao Qiang's men and horses can't be called elites, not even a qualified army. If you have to call this mixed army of Han and barbarians, it would be appropriate to describe it as a "crowd". Zhao Qiang felt a deep sense of humiliation for the various mistakes made during the battle just now and the cowardly performance of the soldiers.

It is conceivable that in the future, there will be more and more mountain battles like Tuer Ridge. If he encounters today's situation again, Zhao Qiang believes that it will be difficult for him to win again.You can no longer rely solely on firearms.After all, the structure of the matchlock gun is relatively primitive, and it has the disadvantages of relatively short range, poor shooting accuracy, long reloading time and relatively large target. In terms of combat effectiveness and range, it is actually not as good as the longbow equipped by the army.Therefore, in order to really let firearms suppress the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners, it is necessary to improve the current firecrackers, and it is best to be able to replace them with rear-loading muskets.The power of the breech-loading musket is definitely better than that of the longbow, because the killing mechanism of the breech-loading gun is different. Although the advantage in armor-piercing ability is not great, the sphere of the musket and the ellipsoid lead of the flintlock will quickly shoot into the human body. The release of kinetic energy caused an explosion-like effect in the human body, coupled with the combined effects of tetanus and lead poisoning, the luckiest person who was killed was seriously injured.Unfortunately, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the development of smoothbore guns fell into a misunderstanding. The Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty came up with a bird gun after studying Japanese iron guns, which is the matchlock gun currently used by the gun camp. It is the worst design. .The barrel of the matchlock gun is slender and small in diameter, which greatly limits the power of the gun. The wall of the barrel is thin, and it is easy to explode, and the charge is very limited, which further limits its power.

At the same time, the guard system of the Ming Dynasty can be described as a poison to the combat effectiveness of the army. The guards made most of the military households work as serfs to support a small number of elite cavalry and mountain infantry. Naturally, there was little training for the muskets equipped with the vast number of ordinary military households, especially the muskets. Soldiers are troops that sacrifice a lot in combat and consume a lot of training.At the same time, the official group had an extremely dogmatic understanding of whether the muskets should be placed in front of the cavalry or behind the cavalry. All this led to the fact that in the late Ming Dynasty, even though the regular Ming army’s muskets and artillery were equipped with 70% soldiers, most of them became decorations. Their bows and arrows were firmly suppressed, which earned them the reputation of riding and shooting the enemy.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the production process of firecrackers was strictly controlled, they did not pay attention to the development of firearms. The existing firecrackers were of good quality but insufficient in combat power.However, knowing that there are a lot of benefits to the musket with the rear-loaded paper bag, Zhao Qiang is not a firearms expert, and his subordinates are talented in this field. Let it go.

After seeing the strength of the Zhenghuang Banner Qing army's longbows, Zhao Qiang couldn't help wanting to have such a longbow battalion immediately.The problem is that qualified archers need to go through a long period of training, at least three years.Zhao Qiang remembered that later generations had been there. Most of the British longbowmen in the Hundred Years War even had their spines twisted due to long-term drawing of the bow, but it was precisely because of such intensive training that the power of the bow and arrow could be demonstrated.China has used bows and arrows as standard weapons for infantry since ancient times, which shows the importance of bows and arrows in combat. In Song Dynasty, 60% of infantry carried crossbows.

With the improvement of the gunfire technique and the lack of time to train the archers, Zhao Qiang really had a headache. Everything he thought was good, but now, nothing is good.

The Qing army who fled back will definitely come to retaliate aggressively. Zhao Qiang's previous idea of ​​concentrating on dealing with the Russians, supplying guns and medicines from them, expanding the territory, and recruiting troops is no longer feasible. It is very likely that the future situation will be enemies on both sides .There were not many troops, and now half of them have gone. If the remaining 400 people want to deal with the pressure from both sides at the same time, unless they are gods, they will be eaten up by others. The quantity replaces the quality, and the life is exchanged for victory!

But how to have a large number of troops in the shortest time to resist the double attack from the Qing army and the Russian army?Zhao Qiang fell into deep thought. Although Wu Erleng had already gone to buy those Oroqen people, and those men from various ethnic groups who were sent out were also helping him, but it was obviously not enough.

"Master Qianhu, what should we do with those Tartars who are raising their red flags?"

When Zhao Qiang was thinking about how to expand the army as soon as possible, Qian Lin interrupted his thoughts untimely.

Seeing that Zhao Qiang seemed to be thinking about something, Qian Lin thought he had come at the wrong time, so he asked cautiously, "Have they all been killed?"

"Kill, I don't need prisoners!"

Zhao Qiang issued the order to kill the prisoners without hesitation. Of course, it wasn't the Zhenghongqi Qing army that caused the huge losses to his subordinates, and they should also be blamed for this.

"Wait a minute!"

But when Qian Lin heard the order and was about to kill the prisoners, Zhao Qiang stopped him again: "Don't kill them yet, take them all back."

"Yes, Chito!"

Qian Lin couldn't figure out why Zhao Qiang changed his mind again, but he didn't dare to ask aloud, and took his orders.

The reason why Zhao Qiang suddenly changed his mind was that he didn't want to waste these Zhenghongqi Qing troops, but also because he thought of a way to quickly expand the army, that is to use the old wild boar skin to expand the power of the continent to plunder the population!

Forcibly conscript all living people within a hundred miles into his army, and destroy his entire clan if he does not follow!

………………

It is necessary to talk about the fighting methods of the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty.The Eight Banners mainly focus on riding and archery. The so-called riding and archery generally means getting off the horse and shooting arrows from a distance, disrupting the enemy's formation and then charging on horseback. It is similar to the Mongols' fighting method.Unless both sides are cavalry, they fight directly to slash and kill, otherwise, when the Eight Banners fight against infantry, they mostly dismount and shoot arrows before charging.This was the case in the Battle of Salhu, and it was also the same tactic against the Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty.During the pacification of San Francisco, the green battalion was the main force, and the green battalion had many infantry, and tens of thousands of people fought with large-scale cavalry.This Battle of Tuerling refers to the example of the battle of the old wild boar skin when he raised his troops, with slight improvements.Stunning horses rushing into battle, there have been battles in all dynasties, it is not a pediatric case, like the readers of the movie "The Legend of Heroes Returning to the East", must still have an impression of the scene of thousands of horses galloping in the film, the overwhelming momentum is by no means unstoppable by manpower .On the narrow mountain road, hundreds of frightened horses were rushed in, the consequences can be imagined, but this kind of battle of losing horsepower may not be critical, and few generals use it.

In addition, before there were large-scale firecrackers and segmental shooting methods, the lethality of the longbow was far greater than that of firecrackers, and the range was longer.

Thanks to those friends who have questions about this and post to point out, thank you for your support.
