Daming wolf ride

Li Jiuzheng got impatient with waiting, Geng Zhongyi ordered to attack, he wanted to end the battle before sunset.

"go ahead!"

The Dongjiang Liao soldiers looked at the Ming army gunners who were facing them with red eyes. The expressions of the people behind were calm, but the faces of the Liao soldiers in front were pale.Because they knew that the ones in the front row must be the first to be hit by the Ming army's fire command, and they would also be the first to die.

Knowing that you must die, don’t choose, because the companions behind are not only the follow-up to the charge, but also the supervising team that will kill them. If anyone dares to turn around or stop, then the Ming army does not need to do anything, and the companions behind will take it first their lives.

This is how the Desperado was created, and the Dongjiang Liao soldiers learned from the Grand Master Mao Wenlong in the way of fighting.Back then, Mao Wenlong used this harsh method of fighting from the back to the front to defeat the Eight Banners cavalry of the Manchurian soldiers time and time again.Today, this method of using troops is used by his subordinates on the battlefield against their comrades. [

I don't know how Grand Master Mao under the Nine Springs will feel when he sees this scene, and how he will scold the group of disciples and grandchildren he left behind.

Until now, Shi Dayong suddenly thought of a question, that is, who is leading the rebel army on the opposite side?

Judging from the size and combat effectiveness of the rebel army, it is very likely that Kong Youde personally led it. Otherwise, who else in the rebel army is qualified to lead such a large army.

If it wasn't Kong Youde who was leading this army, who would it be?

Suffering from not knowing much about the situation of the rebels, Shi Dayong did not know who the opponent was.But none of that matters now—thousands of rebels have rushed up.

The time for the decisive battle has arrived!

"The rebels are coming up! Don't move, everyone! Listen to my order before firing the guns!"

The officers loudly reminded the soldiers around them that they held their breath and tightly held the torches in their hands.

The front row consisted of wolf cavalry in heavy armor, the second and third rows consisted of Jinzhou veterans mainly composed of Changping soldiers, the captive soldiers were in the middle, and Wang Tiande's five hundred soldiers were at the back.Cao Bianjiao led 150 wolf cavalry to take their last breath on the flanks.

Shi Dayong's available force was 400 men, but the opponent rushed forward with nearly 5000 men, including [-] powerful Dongjiang Liao soldiers.

The soldiers were all firecrackers. On the ground, there were big knives and spears, which were used for the final hand-to-hand combat.

The formation of the rebel attack is very dense, which means that after reaching the firing range of the firecrackers, the two sides will start shooting, or it is more appropriate to describe the confrontation between the two armies as "queuing up and shooting".

This is also Shi Dayong's first all-firearms battle commanded in this era.Little did he know that the scene that was about to take place would not be reenacted by Westerners until more than 100 years later.

Courage, both sides fight is entirely courage.Whoever cannot hold on will fail.

This is a confrontation with great disparity in strength, and it is also a firearms battle that transcends the times.All of this is not only the wings of a butterfly, but also comes from Sun Yuanhua, who is obsessed with Western-style military affairs.

Objectively speaking, the new firearms battalion of the Dengzhou Infantry built by Sun Yuanhua is a completely modern army. Their firearms and tactics are at the forefront of the times, even ahead of the Westerners 100 years later.

In the time and space without Shi Dayong, Kong Youde's rebels had given full play to the advantages of Western-style tactics. If it weren't for the [-] Liaodong cavalry and dozens of Hongyi cannons dispatched by the Ming court, I am afraid that he would not have failed at all.

Without the barrier of the city wall and the cover of artillery, it is quite difficult for the Jinzhou army, which is at a disadvantage, to withstand the dense formation of the rebels.This is not something that courage and blood can make up for. [

However, the contest of war is the contest of spear and shield, to prevent the enemy's attack and make the enemy unable to stop his own attack.

Now what the Jinzhou Army has to do is to be able to withstand the opponent's spear with its own "shield". If it withstands it, everything will be fine.

The shields of the Jinzhou Army are the wolf cavalry in the front row wearing heavy armor. They will use the heavy armor on their bodies to resist the muzzles of the rebels for the comrades behind them.

"If only there were artillery here!"

Jiang Wanli has no regrets, if he has a few cannons now, he can smash a few gaps in the opponent's dense formation.No matter how bad it is, it can also cause their formation to disperse, so that they can take advantage of it.

Li Dashan on the side said bluntly: "Without guns, this battle has to be fought. We can't run for our lives."

Shi Dayong didn't say anything to comfort him, but his expression was serious.He thought the rebels would fire.However, the rebels did not fire.

The reason for not firing was not that the rebels didn't want to fire, but that the gunners were not yet capable of such close shelling.They became rebels only halfway through their Western artillery study.If they are allowed to fire now, I am afraid that more than half of the cannons will explode among their own people.

However, in Li Jiuzheng's view, it doesn't matter whether he can fire or not. He has several times the strength of the opponent. If he still can't win, then he can wipe his neck with a knife.

To Geng Zhongyi and to those Dongjiang Liao soldiers, Li Jiuzheng was full of confidence and had an indescribable sense of pride.

Once upon a time, this sense of pride repeatedly appeared on the Liaodong battlefield against foreign enemies.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, 120 steps

"Fire the gun!"

Almost at the same time, the two sides fired guns.

Amidst the roar of the firecrackers, a cloud of black smoke rose from the battlefield. Because of the strong wind, the black smoke quickly dispersed. Shi Dayong couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, so he could only anxiously wait for the black smoke to dissipate.

The Jinzhou army was also shocked by the thunderous sound of the fire. After their ears got used to it, they heard the screams and wailing from the opposite side, as well as the shouts of the leader of the other side.In front of his eyes lay the corpses of more than a hundred bandit soldiers.

A dozen wolf cavalry in the first row fell down, and behind them, a dozen Changping soldiers also fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Fire the gun!"

Before the rebels could react from the gunshots, the Jinzhou army fired the second round of gunshots, and the third and fourth rounds were fired without any time interval.

Sun Yuanhua's Western-style tactics do not have the concept of three-stage shooting. He has always emphasized the use of concentrated firepower to suppress the opponent, and then attack with the battalion.This idea was firmly rooted in the Dongjiang generals who were superstitious about firearms, so they eliminated the previous gunshot techniques of the Ming army and adopted the overwhelming blow advocated by Sun Yuanhua. [

Therefore, in the gun strike just now, the rebels fired the thousand guns in the first five rows at the same time.

Obviously, most of the guns of the Liao soldiers were unloaded by the wolf cavalry protected by heavy armor. The distance between the two sides was 120 steps. The wolf cavalry with heavy iron armor and two layers of cotton armor inside fell down.

The dozens of wolf cavalry who fell were knocked down by the powerful gunfire, and the wolf cavalry who did not fall also felt the suffocating force from their chests. It felt like their hearts suddenly ached. It's the same as breathing.

The Jinzhou army's continuous shooting formed a fog on the battlefield, and neither side knew the killing effect.But obviously, the formation of the rebels began to become sparse.

No matter how daring a person is, he will feel terrified when his companions around him keep falling down, and he will become the next person to die at any time.

A large hole appeared in front of the rebels, but was quickly filled by those behind.

"dash forward!"

Geng Zhongyi judged that the Ming army had finished shooting the guns in their hands, and he couldn't wait to order the whole army to charge.

"on!"

Under the command of the officer, the Liao soldiers began to rush forward like a tide.The sound of gunshots rang out from time to time.

"Change the dressing, shoot freely!"

After discovering that the rebels were rushing up, Shi Dayong immediately ordered free fire to slow down the pace of the rebels' charge.The soldiers hurriedly charged the fire system, and the soldiers in the back row who did not fire raised the fire system, and there was a burst of bombardment towards the front.

Compared with queue firing, this kind of free-firing shotgun is obviously much less powerful, but it gives those companions who are concentrating on reloading their guns great confidence and a sense of security.On the battlefield, the greatest sense of security is the presence of companions by your side.

But at this time, the difference between the soldiers can be seen immediately, the captive soldiers are beginning to be afraid, and many people have already looked back.

The [-] rebels under Wang Tiande still maintained their battle formation, and their presence prevented the captive soldiers who wanted to run away from moving lightly for a while.

"Kill, the officers and soldiers are out of gunpowder, go!"

"The commander-in-chief has an order to overthrow this army of officers and soldiers. Each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and there will be wine and meat at night!"

Dongjiang Liao soldiers heard that the Ming army on the opposite side was not so intensive. After a short panic, their morale was greatly boosted. They thought that the Ming army was out of medicine, and they all started clamoring.

The Liao soldiers rushed out from behind the black smoke, or directly jumped over the corpses of their companions on the ground, or stepped on their corpses to continue their attack.At this time, the fire system in the front row of the Jinzhou Army had not yet been filled with medicine.

"Grandma's, don't let them get close!"

Offense always takes the initiative, while defense can only be passive!

Shi Dayong's face became serious: Thousands of rebels rushed forward in groups. If they didn't make a counterattack, they might be surrounded by heavy siege. In that case, failure would be imminent. After all, most of the people fighting beside him hadn't fought against the rebels yet. The heart of the army to fight to the end.

"General, wolf rider!"

Amid the exclamation, Shi Dayong saw Cao Bianjiao leading the remaining 100 wolf cavalry to charge towards the rebels again. Everyone could clearly see that their armor was gone!

The horse can no longer charge with heavy armor, Cao Bianjiao chose a charge similar to a suicide attack at a critical moment.He was trying to buy time for the infantry to fire again.

Xiao Cao!Shi Dayong's eyes were red with anxiety, passive defense was meaningless, and he swung his long knife forward.If the wolf cavalry army is wiped out, the Jinzhou army will lose all chances of victory.

"Jinzhou Army is advancing!"

When meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, Shi Dayong chose to attack again.

"Brothers, follow me!"

The first one to rush out was the leader of the horse bandits, Peng Dahui, and none of the bandits was afraid, so they rushed out with their horses and swords.

Seeing the general rushing out with a knife, the Changping soldiers also rushed up. The wolf cavalry couldn't run because they were wearing heavy armor, so they could only continue to shoot at the rebels with their firecrackers.

Some of the captive soldiers rushed forward, but some of them did not move, but soon there were angry shouts in their ears, and several soldiers were cut down to the ground immediately.

"Fuck me for this!"

Guo Yi waved the long knife in his hand with a ferocious face, beside Qi Sanbao was terrified, his face turned green.
