Win the Ding 1617

ps: Thank you for your support and encouragement from the editors.In addition, I am very embarrassed to tell you that there was a small mistake in yesterday's chapter.Yue Tuo's eldest son doesn't seem to be too old at this time, and he hasn't reached the level of Ba Ya La Bing Zhang Jing.Mistake.

At the beginning of Yanlong's challenge with dozens of cavalry, Wang Dehua almost broke the glasses on his ears due to this earth-shattering move.On the opposite side of the [-] Jianshou army, one's own side should hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements. This daring general actually ordered someone to challenge him, and he even insulted him?

He watched anxiously at the charge of the Jiannu army on the opposite side.I can't help worrying about my own fate.

Two hundred heavy armored soldiers rushed down the hillside on horseback, their momentum was astonishing, and the powerful kinetic energy falling from the sky made them roll down the hillside like huge stones, rumbling.Behind these heavy armored soldiers were ten Niulu's two white flags, forming a huge mudslide, as if to swallow the entire South Central Army formation and Changqing County in one gulp.

The leader Zhenghongqi Baya Latuzhangjing had a very good idea. He wanted to use this powerful impact speed to rush into the formation of the South China Army in one go, and then display the powerful fighting ability of the heavy armored soldiers, and wantonly The massacre unfolded.

Everyone thinks that Jiannu is good at cavalry and is good at riding and shooting. In fact, this is a misunderstanding or a smog.Compared with cavalry warfare, the Qing soldiers are indeed better at infantry combat. The Ming Notebook "Qingjian Xinlue" has a saying: "It is said that slaves are good at short battles on the mountain. The horse soldiers are weak. Yehe's horse soldiers are the most powerful, and the infantry soldiers are weak. The old slaves Afraid of riding in the north, afraid of slaves in the north. Yehe's white sheep bones said: "I fear slaves' steps, and slaves fear me to ride. Strength is the same as resistance, and skill is the enemy.""

Moreover, since Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the investment in firearms has also continued to increase. A large number of artillery and muskets were manufactured and equipped with the Eight Banners Army.Become their sharp weapon to attack the city and break the army.In the Songjin battle that decided the fate of both Ming and Qing in Liaodong, both Ming and Qing used a large number of red barbarian cannons.In the battle of Songshan alone, the Qing army dispatched [-] artillery shells, [-] Hongyi cannons, and [-] catties of explosives.After the Pine Brocade War.The Qing army stationed in Jinzhou already had hundreds of Hongyi cannons.However, most of the artillery pieces of the Ming army outside the pass fell into the hands of the Qing people. Only Wu Sangui's troops stationed in Ningyuan still have more than a dozen Hongyi cannons.

The situation of firearms in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was reversed. Tang Ruowang, a Western missionary at that time, exclaimed: "He has strong horses and strong arrows. His arrows are sharp and his bow is strong. He has surpassed me by a lot. And recently, firearms are comparable to mine. Who cares about my amazing skills? It is known that there are. At present, firearms are expensive in Western countries. Not only do the enemies exist, but now they are widespread..."

After entering the customs, firearms have played a decisive role in all previous battles, such as the Battle of Jiangyin, the Battle of Tongguan, and the Battle of Datong.And in the Kangxi period, they kept using artillery and muskets to bully their opponents.The statement that the Taiping Army gained Wu Sangui's buried artillery in Yueyang and greatly increased its strength is really unreliable. If there are really artillery that can still show its power after more than a hundred years, then why Wu Sangui never broke through the Yangtze River defense line? Didn't it expand its influence to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and start a fight with the Qing army for grain bags and money bags in the southeast?

Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that the Manchus only knew how to ride and shoot.In terms of the emphasis on firearms and the development and mastery of technology and tactics, the establishment of slaves in the Liaodong period has been raised to a much higher level than that of the Ming army.

Baya Latuo Zhangjing, who was holding the red flag, held up his own flag in one hand, swung it from side to side, shouting to charge.He could see very clearly that the southern barbarian army on the opposite side was only a few thousand people, and the cavalry were all placed on the two wings.And it seems that those cavalry are all melon eggs who have just learned how to ride a horse. How can they fight against these elite cavalry under him?

What's even more ridiculous is that almost all the gunners were arranged in three rows, all lined up in front of the formation.

Not only is the army formation thin, but there are no artillery except firecrackers.They don't know that this thin array is like a thin piece of paper, which can be broken by the sharp Eight Banners cavalry?In front of the fast horses and spears of the heavy armored soldiers, there is basically no room for resistance in this formation, and then it is a happy massacre and looting.

And behind this thin three-row formation, there are dozens of people dressed in brocade robes and luxurious clothes. Presumably they must be the leaders of the South Central Army, who captured them or shocked them all around. Run around, this battle will be won!Just like dealing with other famous teams.

Less than two miles away from the formation of the South Central Army, these heavily armored soldiers who were facing the red flag were surprised to find that the thin formation of the South Central Army on the opposite side suddenly changed again.

With the sentry as the unit, the ministries quickly shrank, revealing the artillery positions behind them.

"fire!"

"fire!"

The gunners of each artillery kept repeating the orders from the Chinese army.Twelve-pounders, eight-pounders, and six-pounders all have the best range at this distance.

All the cannons had already been adjusted by Zhu Yuan, and it was only waiting for Jiannu to rush into the range that had been surveyed and mapped in advance.With the order of the gunner, the gunner of a regiment's six-pound gun swung the matchlock forward vigorously!The barrel of the cannon shook violently, a sharp flame spewed out from the muzzle, followed by thick smoke, followed by a loud noise.The strong recoil force compressed the spring on the gun mount to the limit, making the two-wheeled gun mount take a big step back.

Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, a five-jin round iron ball smashed fiercely towards the red flag Manchurian heavy armor formations that were galloping towards them.

"There are cannons in Ming Dynasty, can they still shoot so far?"

Baya Latuzhangjing, who was on the red flag, was in high spirits when he suddenly saw that the opponent started firing, and dozens of iron balls of different sizes swooped towards his team.

The high-spirited and majestic attitude just now disappeared immediately, and the roar that could not be heard stopped abruptly. All the heavy armored soldiers were staring at the direction of the shells.

The first shell hit the heavy armored cavalry on the way forward. Although the point of impact was far away from the heads of everyone's horses, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they forgot that a solid big round iron ball, in this kind of weather In the cold weather, when the ground is frozen as hard as steel, the shells will run and jump, and the lethality brought by this running and jumping is also beyond the reach of the human body, which mainly consists of carbohydrates. resisting.

The cannonball bounced and bounced.It was bounced up by the hard ground, drew an arc in the air, flew forward a dozen steps, landed on the ground but the momentum remained undiminished, and charged straight towards the horse of Nabaya Latuo Zhangjing come over.

With a click, Baya Latiao Zhangjing's war horse from the Horqin Grassland was taken away by his right leg by the ferocious shells, and immediately lost his standing and fell obliquely.Baya Latuo Zhangjing was also thrown to the outside.

"Damn it! What bad luck!"

Baya Latuo Zhangjing's eyes went dark, and a glimmer of consciousness emerged in his mind.He had a broken cervical spine.At the same time, the layers of armor on his body rubbed against each other.His carotid artery was cut open by the huge impact.A bloody arrow stained his armor red.

In addition to brutally killing Zhenghongqi Baya Latuzhangjing, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had a very high combat effectiveness, that shell also took away the head of a heavily armored soldier and the arms of two slaves accompanying the army.There are also several human thighs and calves.Five or six horses were knocked over.The shock formation of the heavy armor was broken through.Opened a bloody path in the crowd, ran around for a long time, and finally stopped.Leaving a long and shrill howl of blood and wailing everywhere.

Dozens of big iron balls of different sizes followed, bouncing non-stop like tiles thrown obliquely by an urchin on the water.Countless pieces of flesh and blood were splashed among the crowd.A shell pierced through the chests of two heavily armored soldiers, and then smashed the head of the next house slave into red and white pieces.Afterwards, the castration continued, obliquely taking away the head of a heavy armored soldier galloping past on horseback, but the man's body was still on the horse's back, with streams of blood spurting out from the neck cavity, Let the soldiers next to them scream.

Big iron balls kept coming one after another, or directly pierced through Zhenghongqi's army formation, and smashed one after another bodies that were mainly composed of carbohydrates that blocked their flight path, or they landed on the ground. Bounced off by the hard ground, they jumped and flew into the formation, breaking the limbs and feet of those soldiers wearing two or even three layers of heavy armor.

After a round of shelling, dozens of heavily armored soldiers became victims of the shells, and their mutilated corpses fell within [-] steps from the South Central Army's position.The severely wounded who still had a trace of vitality lay down in a pool of blood and let the cold wind blow.

"Master Zhang Jing is dead!"

"Master Zhang Jing is dead!"

The bad news was spread wildly by the terrified soldiers. The ten coat-coated cows of Zhengbai Banner who followed the heavy armored soldiers rushed into the formation, and the formation was in chaos. Back in the heavy armor formation.

All of a sudden, countless bodies collided with each other. Those heavy armors who were frightened mad by the fear of death saw the armor of the Ming army on this group of coated Niulu, and their first reaction was to swing their spears and swords to slash and pierce them.

In the dry and cold air, there was a strong smell of blood and a faint smell of gunpowder smoke from time to time.

After a lot of effort, Yue Tuo and other talents contained the ten coated cows that had retreated.After decapitating the hundred Bao Yi who were the first to escape and meet the armored soldiers, they hanged them behind the high pole. Yue Tuo's face was ashen, and he looked at the ten Bao Yi Niulu in front of him with hatred.

This group of guys, if they say they are wrong, it seems that they are not.The first to retreat was Zhenghongqi's heavy armor, disrupting their formation.However, if no punishment is given, the dozens of heavy armored soldiers under his banner will die unjustly.

"You guys, attack first! My two red-flag warriors will be behind you."

Amidst the sound of the horn, the coats of one cow and one cow stood neatly, forming a dense formation in front of the formation.Most of these former officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army were family servants supported by generals and officers. They wore armor inlaid with iron cotton. Personal skills are skilled, and the combat ability is comparable to that of the bannermen in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, or even stronger.

Behind the ten Niulu queues were a thousand Qing soldiers wearing double-layer heavy armor. Most of these people were elite vests and infantry soldiers in the banner, all of them armed with Eight Banners spears or tiger guns.As long as these ten Niulu's coats rushed into the formation of the South China Army and got mixed up with the South China Army, they immediately charged with long spears.

Finally, there are five hundred heavy cavalry, not only each soldier is wearing two layers of heavy armor and each holds a long spear, even the horses are also covered with thick armor inlaid with iron wool, following behind these infantrymen.In the end, there were more than 200 Ba Yala soldiers, all in mercury heavy armor.Holding a long knife or spear with an iron handle.Horse riding followed at the end.

"It's a pity that it came too urgently, otherwise, let you barbarians have a taste of my big Qing artillery fire!"

Yue Tuo glanced fiercely at the army formation opposite.

"Yue Tuo thinks too highly of me!"

With a little contempt, Shou Han took a panoramic view of Jian Nu's adjustments through the telescope.

"My lord, Yue Tuo, the slave chief, has made such a big move that he bet on 5000 people in one go! The Niulu flag alone has more than a dozen sides, and there are a few big flags!"

Wang Chengen shouted excitedly beside Shou Han.The victory of the artillery just now gave him a lot of confidence. He rode his horse and stood beside the guard, hoping to learn from him the secret method of how the South China Army can destroy a powerful enemy.

Not only did the Jiannu infantry adjust their frontal offensive deployment, but the [-] Mongolian soldiers who accompanied Yue Tuo and others to Changqing were also divided into about [-] troops.Make a detour from Crouching Tiger Mountain and Wufeng Mountain to Changqing County.Trying to contain the troops of the South Central Army on both wings, and even break through the formation of the South Central Army from the flanks.

In addition to offense, another function is defense. Beware of the cavalry of the Southern Central Army launching an assault from the two wings to the Central Army of Jiannu.

A large number of Mongolian cavalry moved towards the two wings with a loud whistle.All cavalry are armored warriors.Each person either wears willow leaf armor or ring armor.Wearing a red tasseled hat or petal helmet.On each cavalryman, every cavalryman held a black-tasseled flag.Each armored soldier has a small black tasseled flag on his back.

"Blow the horn! Gather the cavalry communication teams from all brigades and regiments, and dispatch them to Huang Yishan, commander of the cavalry brigade! Huang Yishan, give you [-] cavalrymen, and drive these Tartars from east to west back to their lairs." ! Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's eyes!"

"Wu Guerrilla! Take your men and obey Brigadier Huang's orders! If you dare to shrink back, our family will kill your entire family!" Wang Chengen threatened the Wu Guerrilla of the [-] Battalion with his shrill voice.

"This subordinate has long wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country!" Wu Guerrilla, with a flushed face, saluted Wang Chengen bravely. Lost business, such a good thing, why not go?

There was a sound of horseshoes beating the ground quickly, hundreds of cavalrymen rolled up a gust of cold wind and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalrymen who were coming in chaotic small steps from east to west.

"Eunuch! Please also go to the artillery team to supervise the battle, so that the sons and daughters can see the court angels fighting the enemy with them."

"Good! It's a great pleasure for our family to be able to handle artillery! Thank you! Thank you!"

Wang Chengen led several young eunuchs and rushed to the artillery position.

Amidst the sound of horns brought by the cold wind, the ranks of Qing soldiers slowly moved towards the north.Combat today is somewhat different from the habit of building slaves in the past.In the previous battles of building slaves, two heavy armored soldiers were in front, and light armored soldiers who were good at archery were in the rear.It is the same as tanks leading armored infantry to charge in front of modern warfare.

However, today those Tazi soldiers with thick bodies and fierce expressions, holding huge shields in their hands, red lacquered long-bladed broadswords or half-moon hatchets in their right hands, acted as the supervisor team behind the brigade Niulu.Judging from the bulging appearance on their bodies, it can be seen that they are wearing at least two layers of heavy armor, the outer layer is inlaid with iron wool armor, the inner layer is fine chain mail, and some people even wear a piece of Nanzhong armor on the outside.Equipped with the same armor as these people, there are also some people holding iron long-handled pick knives, tiger-tooth knives, tiger guns, and long guns. Under each gun, there are iron bottles several inches long.The purpose of this is to use cannon fodder to attract and consume the opponent's firepower, and to gain space and time for the main force.

There was a loud shout from the ranks, and the thunderstorm in the Qing army also seemed to shout in unison, and thousands of people rushed towards the Nanzhong army's position in unison.

"Brother Liao, can you stand it? How about letting my brother come first?"

Wu Biao, who was supervising the formation at the back of his position, was a little concerned and teased Liao Dongzhi jokingly.

Liao Dongzhi's third brigade was in charge of the main defensive direction directly opposite Jiannu.

Liao Dongzhi just smiled at Wu Biao's teasing voice from a distance, and ignored this brother who had known him for many years.He called a soldier beside him, "Go to the artillery team and tell the brothers to let them hold off on firing. After we have fired three rounds of salvo, they will use artillery to kill the enemy!"

When I was young, a bugle sounded from the artillery team, indicating that I had received the request from the Liao Brigade.Be ready to support the brothers of the Liao Brigade with artillery fire at any time.

The officers and soldiers of the Coated Niulu, who were in charge of the main attack task, walked towards the South Central Army's formation in fear all the way, and stopped after a few steps to organize the team. No longer forming a team, just walking forward in a mess.

Looking at the area where Zhenghongqi's heavy armor was bombarded by artillery fire just now, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.It seems that this army is not much different from the Ming army, both are used to firing from a distance.

"Let these servants hurry up, rush forward to find the servants, kill them, and the battle will be over!"

However, as the various Niulu got closer, several Niulu Zhang Jing felt a little strange.Judging from their experience in the Ming army, when they walked 150 steps away, the firecrackers and cannons had already exploded together, and the blows were about [-] steps away.However, the army in front of them was silent, and I was a little puzzled, how could the Ming army there be so calm?

Doubtful in my heart, I couldn't help but slow down my steps. However, the five Niulu in front slowed down, but the five Niulu in the back did not slow down. For a while, the team still moved forward slowly.One hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps.

The other side was still quiet and there was no movement, only the sound of the flag when the cold wind blew past it. (To be continued..)
