Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"What new weapons?" Shumo's mind turned sharply, and then he asked with some uncertainty, "Don't you mean those chariots?"

"Hey! I didn't expect our book tortoise to grow a head today! You're right, it's those chariots!" Chu Ge couldn't forget to stimulate Shumo at this time.

"You don't have a head!" Shumo was really stimulated and jumped up, "Just your broken chariots? I admit that those chariots are more bluffing when they run, but look at how you ran just now? Even I can’t turn well at every turn, and can only run to the end in a straight line. Besides, my master has a hundred ways to kill this kind of chariot. Not to mention digging a few ditches can make those chariots lie down. A few rows of firecrackers, bows and arrows, the soldiers and horses driving those chariots will all be killed. Are you going to fight or let these chariot soldiers die?"

When Wu Shigong slapped his head and ordered the manufacture of the chariot, he really did not consider the issue of the chariot's control.Compared with the ancient Eastern and Western chariots, the simplified version of the Runing Army's chariots is indeed simple and cheap to manufacture.But Wu Shigong didn't know that in ancient times, it took several years or even ten years to train the masters of those chariots, and it was impossible to train them in a short period of time.

And the chariot driver of the Runing Army has only been trained for more than half a year.It is no problem to let them line up and charge in a straight line on the open ground, but it is a bit difficult to make them do some actions such as turns, around obstacles and U-turns.So what Shumo is talking about is indeed some very realistic issues.

"Is what you're talking about a problem?" Zug replied indifferently, "War is always a job with your head on your head. And here is where we are familiar with chariot running. We know how to run. And , do you think those gangsters will have firecrackers and bows and arrows in their hands? If not, wouldn’t that be a pile of minced meat for us to slaughter?”

Shumo thought about it carefully and thought it was right.So he asked: "The field battle is your business, Chu Fox, so tell me how to fight."

Zuge walked to the hanging map, pointed to a point about two miles in front of Longyan Village, and said, "We sent three companies here to form three square formations of ten and ten, and more than 80 soldiers of you and me are here." Protect the back of the formation, form a cavalry formation, and attract the attention of the bandits."

"And I am hiding here with the chariot team." Zug pointed to a point on the waist of the small basin, "When the attention of the bandits is attracted by the front, I will rush out and insert it diagonally. The bandits do this, then rush to the river and turn around, come back and follow this road to give the bandits another hit. After two passes, the troops in front can slaughter the sheep. This road is also used by our chariot team , so there is absolutely no problem in charging."

Shumo carefully considered Zuge's plan again.He thought it was feasible, but he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I thought it would be crazy enough for the young master to lead us to charge tens of thousands of Holy Spirit Society rioters. I didn't expect that you, a Chu fox, would go crazy now. Only a few dozen people dared to charge Tens of thousands of bandits, what a lunatic!"

"Hey!" Zug ghost laughed a few times, "Okay! Dare to speak ill of your young master behind your back, see if I don't make a small report, let us adults go and lick your eggplant."

"That's only if our young master believes in you. Back then, I accompanied the young master to charge! Forget it, since you are going crazy, then I will accompany you to go crazy. I will command the frontal troops. Wang Jiu!" Shumo ordered the deputy head in charge of the Longan Village, "You take the rest of the people to guard the Longan Village and be ready to meet us at any time."

"Didn't you see it?" Zug continued to laugh, "Our book turtle is about to come out of its shell this time!"

"No way!" Shumo seemed indifferent to Zuge's ridicule. "Who made us two brothers? We have to go forward and get you back from the gangsters. But it doesn't matter if you get it or not, anyway, you are in danger, you are poor sister Rusong! You are so young! To be a widow!"

"Fuck!" Chug scolded immediately, "Why can't you spit ivory out of your dog's mouth?"

"Okay! Then I'll spit out ivory!" Shumo spoke in an angry way like his young master, "I will raise that girl of yours well. I will raise her as my own daughter. Who told her to become a Where is my book master's daughter-in-law! Hey! Don't do it! Do you think I can't do it?..."

Seeing his chief's fight, the surrounding officers and soldiers were all laughing.

"Suppress it! Suppress it! Wait until the bandits have entered fifty steps before attacking, and don't let them get too close, just fifty steps!" Shumo shouted.

In fact, the firecracker shooting of the Runing Army is commanded by a special temporary firecracker commander, and there is no need for Shumo Yuezu to do it for him.Shumo was also just nervous, so he kept repeating the firecracker shooting rules summed up after the great victory in Ruzhou.

An archer from the Runing Army was shooting arrows. This bow was specially made, and the archers were also specially trained. A few arrows dropped at about fifty paces away. The commander of the fire gun set the landmark.

As dusk approached, the bandits from the small coalition entered the Congling Mountain Pass. They didn't stop at all, and came towards Longyan Village.

Since it was midsummer, the sky was getting dark relatively late, and when the vanguard of the bandits met the Shumo troops who had already lined up, the entire sky was still quite bright.

Encountering the Ming army suddenly, the bandits stopped in fear, but when the leaders of the small coalition saw that there were only more than 300 Ming troops on the opposite side, they became bolder and ordered the soldiers of the small coalition to rush forward like a swarm of bees. up.

From the perspective of the Runing Army, the more than 3 bandits on the opposite side were not lined up in a neat formation at all, and they were just chaotic in the east and west, so it seemed that there were more people than the same number of troops. many.Then I saw the bandits on the opposite side rushing over, so the more than 300 soldiers seemed very nervous.

Fortunately, the officers and non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level were basically veterans who had participated in the Battle of Ruzhou. They all had withstood the crazy attacks of the peasant rebel army at that time, so under the pressure of these veterans, the entire army was still stable.

When the small joint battalion charged fifty paces, the firecrackers opened fire, knocking down the few bandits rushing to the front all at once. The gangsters couldn't be seen in the crowd, so the fallen gangsters were like a few small waves rising from the waves.

But it was such a blow that made the charging bandits shrink back.The rest of the gangsters stopped in their tracks one after another, trying to hide behind their companions to protect themselves.But everyone wanted to do this, and the entire charging team of the rioters was in chaos. I don't know which gangster uttered a cry, but the charging gangsters retreated in such a mess.

In fact, this is the normal state of the army composed of refugees. They can be as fearless as the peasant rebel army last time, and they can also shrink back like they are now.As for what kind of situation they will have, only God knows.

But just such a charge made Shumo's palms full of sweat. If those gangsters were determined just now, they might rush to the Runing army and fight directly.More than 300 to less than [-] soldiers of the Runing Army fought tens of thousands of bandits hand-to-hand. Even if they could persist for a while, the final outcome was doomed.

At this time, Shumo was muttering in his heart: "Why hasn't Chuhuhu's chariot come out yet?"

In fact, Shumo was blocked from seeing, Zuge and the others formed a team, driving a chariot drawn by two horses, they had already lined up five chariots, and rushed towards the flank of the small alliance of rebels.

But the chariot needs to be accelerated after all, and the speed of the chariot is always slower than that of the cavalry, so after the chariot convoy appeared, it was immediately discovered by the bandits from the small alliance.

In order to protect themselves, the war horses pulling the cart were covered with felts inlaid with iron sheets, and apart from the observation gap in front of the imperial hand, there was also a circle of thick wooden boards inlaid with iron sheets.The chariot soldiers standing on the chariot, in addition to the inner cotton armor and silk inner armor, are also covered with two layers of armour. Standing on the chariot with axes and guns in their hands, they look majestic like a Mars.

What's even more exaggerated is that two sharp blades with a length of one foot are installed on the top of the hub of the chariot.This sharp blade was carefully crafted by the iron workshop with hundreds of steel smelting, and its strength and toughness were top-notch in the Ming Dynasty.

With the speeding of the chariot, the sharp blade trembled up and down, shining aggressively in the setting sun, showing a kind of beauty of death.

Seeing the approach of the chariot convoy, the gangsters in the small coalition immediately became agitated, and when the chariots drove a hundred steps away from the gangsters in the small coalition, the five chariots in the first row immediately ignited the guns erected on both sides of the chariots. A swarm of swarms, thousands of rockets scrambling to be the first to fly towards the bandits of the small alliance.

There was no pause at all, and the bandits of the small coalition immediately bombed the camp.They fled to both sides one after another, trying to avoid the path of the chariot.

But the speed of the chariot had already picked up, and in the blink of an eye, the chariot rushed into the crowd of bandits.Like a hot knife cutting butter, the entire bandit crowd was cut in half.The bandits who couldn't escape were overwhelmed by chariots or chopped into pieces by sharp knives.A scene of the end of the world suddenly appeared among the bandits.

No bandit wanted to stop him, and no bandit dared to stop him.The speed of the chariot convoy didn't drop either. Without any effort, the chariot convoy pierced through the formation of the small coalition's bandits from the flanks, completely cutting the bandits into two halves.

It wasn't until they reached the river that the chariot team stopped.The entire chariot team began to turn.At this time, the chariot lost its speed, and it was also the time when the chariot was weakest. However, the bandits who were hit hard by the chariot wanted to escape from the chariot as soon as possible, and no one dared to approach the chariot. (To be continued..)
