Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing this, we can know that even now, there are still quite a lot of elites in the Ming army.We can assume: If the Ming Dynasty transferred half of these elites to Liaodong, and solved their military salaries and supplies.

Coupled with a coach who knows soldiers and is good at fighting, these elites also work together, so even if the Manqing in Liaodong wanted to pee in a pot, they couldn't find a chamber pot.

Of course, this assumption is a bit too much, obviously it is just fantasy.

In the original history, when Wu Sangui let the Qing army enter the customs, some of these elites of the Ming army disappeared in the battle with the peasant army and the Manchus; No, the veterans who can fight have already finished fighting.That's why the Manchu Qing unified the country with little effort.Therefore, although foreign enemies are terrifying, internal fighting is fatal.

Still not much to say, let's take a look at the battle between Luo Rucai's department and Lu Jiude's department!

Because it was necessary to fight in a measured manner, and he thought that Lu Jiude's troops were quite weak, so the frontline commander Yang Chengzu set up a top-heavy defensive formation.

This is a very contradictory formation.Generally, a top-heavy formation is used to put the most combat-effective troops in front. Of course, it is to defeat the enemy with one blow, so it must be an offensive formation.But Yang Chengzu came to a defense.So before this battle, Luo Rucai and Yang Chengzu didn't know each other well.

In fact, Yang Chengzu also has his own reasons for placing it this way.To use a metaphor: Just like a strong man is attacked by a child, if the strong man does not want to hurt the child, he only needs to protect his vitals with his hands and feet.So that's what Yang Seung-joo did.

But when Liu Liangzuo led his men into formation, Yang Chengzu, the frontline commander, knew something was wrong, because he could tell from the banners that it was Liu Liangzuo, the deadly enemy of the peasant army who came from the same school.So Yang Chengzu immediately ordered a change of formation to restore Luo Rucai's usual offensive formation.

The core of Luo Rucai's peasant army was veterans from the three sides.It is characterized by the special desperation of soldiers.Personal combat skills are also particularly outstanding.Because of the region and the harsh living environment, these soldiers have taken the initiative to go out to hunt the heads of Mongols almost since they were adults, so some soldiers' riding and shooting skills are even as good as the elites of the Qing army and Mongolia.

As a powerful force of the Ming army as famous as Guanning's iron cavalry, the three-sided army battle is also very characteristic.Unlike Guan Ning's iron cavalry, which pays attention to large corps group operations, the troops on the three sides don't like to form formations very much. They often arrange freely and go into battle.

But the strange thing is that when they fight against a well-disciplined and well-organized army, the three-sided army does not lose the wind at all, because when a three-sided soldier fights alone, the soldiers around him will naturally protect him .Will also cooperate with him to fight; when a three-sided army fights, the rest of the troops will cooperate immediately.

In fact, this is discipline without discipline; organization without organization, which is based on the high military quality of the soldiers on the three sides.Coupled with their desperation, the confrontation with other first-class troops is not at all a disadvantage.

From this we can see.Trilateral armies are particularly good at attacking.

However, Yang Chengzu used this offensive force as a defense, and then changed his formation because he found out that Liu Liangzuo was facing him.This involves a problem: to replace the troops.

Because of the troops to attack and the troops to defend.The soldiers in the first few rows used different weapons, and there was no way to change weapons at this time, so Yang Chengzu had no choice but to transfer the most capable soldiers from the first few rows.

Obviously, the reason why Yang Chengzu took such rash and dangerous action was because he was well aware of the combat effectiveness of Liu Liangzuo's troops, and knew that Liu Liangzuo's attack could no longer be stopped by pure defense.

And Liu Liangzuo was a little apprehensive when he came out.Because he knows very well that his soldiers are inferior to Luo Rucai's.But when he went into battle, he found that Luo Rucai had put up a purely defensive formation.Liu Liangzuo couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately sent his troops to attack.Taking advantage of the fact that Luo Rucai's front and rear rows were not in place, he immediately grabbed an initiative.

This initiative is too important.Because for the defense side.To gain an advantage, long-range firepower must be dominant.This can also be seen from the defense of Huang Degong's department on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River.

However, no matter how well-equipped Luo Rucai's department is, it cannot compare with Lu Jiude's department, which has the support of the entire Nanjing arsenal.So as soon as the war started, the peasant army fell into a passive situation.

Originally, according to the normal strength of Luo Rucai's troops, they should suppress the long-range firepower of the Ming army with a fierce attack, but because of a mistake in the formation of troops, they were passive, so Yang Chengzu was anxious to adjust the formation.I don't know if Luo Rucai, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, is regretting it?Has he deepened his understanding of "the best defense is offense".

However, although Liu Liangzuo's troops were inferior, they were not underdogs, and the gap between the two sides was not too great.So seeing the advantage, the Ming army immediately launched a wave of attacks under the command of Liu Liangzuo, and the waves were higher than the waves, just to prevent the peasant army from recovering.If Yang Chengzu hadn't sent troops several times to plug the leak, and if Luo Rucai's soldiers hadn't really died, maybe the formation of the peasant army had been broken, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

"Old five, old nine! This is not acceptable. Take a thousand riders to fight there, and you must hold down the official dog, so that the boss can relax."

"Yes! Godfather!"

Although Luo Rucai's explanation was very vague, Wutaibao and Jiutaibao knew very well that Luo Rucai was going to do his best.They immediately arranged the thousand cavalry into a triangle formation, and a death charge was about to come.

"Go up quickly and follow the gap opened by Zongbing Liu, you will definitely..." Seeing that his side had the upper hand, Lu Jiude immediately dispatched troops and generals, trying to expand the advantage into a victory.

But just as Lu Jiude was halfway through the order, the little eunuch beside him interrupted him.The little eunuch pointed at the cavalry unit gradually pulled out from behind Luo Rucai, and exclaimed, "Grandpa Lu! Look."

Lu Jiude and the generals of the Ming army looked in that direction together, and their expressions all changed.Lu Jiude knows soldiers, so he understands what it means to have cavalry in a triangular formation.

So Lu Jiude immediately changed his order and said: "General Zhang Shen, also arrange your cavalry in a cone shape, and you must block the bandit army from rushing towards Liu Zongbing."

"Grandpa Lu! This...!" That Zhang Shen will be in disbelief.As soon as this triangular formation is set up, it will be life and death, so Zhang Shen will not be able to make up his mind.

"Don't tell me what the miscellaneous family said?" Lu Jiude immediately widened his eyes, "Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be executed immediately. If you can't stop the bandit army, you will execute yourself!" (To be continued...)
