Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 219 Kill You

Influenced by games before, especially the Total War series, Song Qingshu's impression of cavalry is one word, crisp!

It's a big piece of death.

But the real cavalry is not vulnerable at all!In the game, if a cavalry hits it, and those who hit it more than ten meters away can stand up and continue to fight, but in fact, once the cavalry hits it, the ribs are broken and collapsed, the lungs are even ruptured, and the internal organs are damaged. Even if you don’t die on the spot, It is also determined not to stand up again, let alone continue to fight.

In Shaanxi, Song Qingshu suffered a lot from the cavalry of the official army. In the battle of Fenchuan River, it was also fortunate that Du Wenhuan was clever enough to use cavalry and muskets to shoot at each other, otherwise it would have been really difficult to fight.On the plains, a hundred infantry may not be able to beat ten cavalry!
But now there are tens of thousands of horses galloping in front of my eyes, and countless horseshoes are hitting the ground heavily. Seeing the Shaanxi cavalry coming like a yellow dragon roll over the ground, it puts great psychological pressure on the Yanmenguan army entrenched under the city of Xinzhou. .

"Damn it! When you beat Yan'an Mansion, you hid it, but when you beat Lao Tzu, you leaked all of your family's wealth!"

After all, with Zhang Xianzhong, it has been less than half a year since the old Hui returned to the camp, and the sign of the old Hui returned to the camp is quite clear. Under a horse-headed banner, more than 2000 cavalry with looks very different from the Han people galloped at the forefront, shouting the loudest and speaking bravely It was also them, who were about to kill and rush to the front of their battle in a blink of an eye.

The Yuan Dynasty was the period when the Hui tribe was formed. A large number of Central Asians moved into the Central Plains as the Tanma Red Army. The Ming Dynasty gave these Semu people preferential treatment and allowed intermarriage within the tribe, especially the Hui tribe maintained a large dispersion and small settlement. The situation is a bit similar to that of Jews who do not intermarry with Han people. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the characteristics of the Hui people in the Western Regions were still very obvious. Among the peasant armies, only Ma Shouying was a Hui person, and he was the only one who had the ability to recruit so many Hui people. man cavalry.

Going to the frontline trenches to supervise the battle in person, Song Qingshu couldn't help yelling at this scene.

Qiu Ming was in a cold sweat. The two armies joined forces, and there were only more than 700 cavalry. If they retreated to the riverside according to the instructions of Zhao Zhifu in Xinzhou yesterday, they would be rushed by so many cavalry, and the whole army would not be able to disperse on the spot. up.

The fierce shouts of killing even made the city of Xinzhou hum in shock. Following Song Qingshu and watching nervously for a long time, Qiu Ming suddenly jumped up and down and cursed.

"God damn Zhao Qing, you really don't want to shoot!"

The two armies fought along the city wall of Xinzhou Prefecture. Relying on the city wall, on the one hand, they could prevent the enemy from being attacked from the front and back, and on the other hand, they had the convenience of taking advantage of the artillery fire from the top of the city. The place where the Yanmenguan army camped was less than a hundred meters away from the east gate. , the general gun, the Fran machine gun must have 28 if it is not thirty, seeing that the bandits have rushed to their noses, and there are many defenders on the top of the city stretching their necks to watch the excitement, but they did not fire their guns.

Presumably, Qiu Ming's refusal last night still made him harbor a grudge. Because of his personal hatred, he sat and watched his allies besieged. It is conceivable how corrupt the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has been.

It was so unobstructed, and seeing the most imposing Shaanxi cavalry was about to attack in front of his house, when Qiu Ming's nervous sweat drenched his back, at this tense moment, finally, There were still explosions among the cavalry groups of Cao Ying and Gezuo Fifth Battalion.

With a bang, a layer of more than ten meters was raised, and a dozen cavalry were blasted into the sky. The cavalry closest to the center of the explosion was even torn apart. The nearby cavalry did not even scream. Strangely, he fell off his horse, and Qikong bled to death.

"Finally fire!" Qiu Ming couldn't help shouting excitedly, but Song Qingshu turned around and snorted disdainfully.

"Count on them?"

While speaking, more Shaanxi cavalry bravely killed more than 50 meters in front of the position. However, more intensive explosions were also launched from this. The dust blown by the strong wind was flying towards the position, and the officers and beggars couldn't even open their eyes for a while.

"Keep an eye on the matchlock!"

Just when everyone's ears were buzzing and their mouths were dumbstruck, Song Qingshu's shout rang out suddenly, and many officers and soldiers came back to their senses. Many of the matchlocks they used had been blown out. He hastily re-ignited it with a torch.

No matter how stupid you are, you can see that this is definitely not the artillery fired by the army. Not to mention the scarcity of explosive ammunition these days, it is not available in Xinzhou. The power of the explosion alone is by no means what the artillery of the army can match. After seeing such a powerful cannon, he couldn't help asking Song Qingshu dumbfounded.

"He's handsome, this, did you do this?"

Song Qingshu turned his head and scolded with a face full of pain.

"Prepare for battle!"

He couldn't help but feel pained, the last time he used the yellow gunpowder extracted from soap waste to blow up Yongning Pass and was reimbursed immediately, this time facing the threat from Dai County, Song Qingshu grabbed Tang Ruowang and brought a dozen apprentices to make soap I rushed to make a batch, but this time it was reimbursed again.

As early as the Song Dynasty, there were records of the use of landmines in combat. It is said that Genghis Khan stepped on the thorns of Xixia porcelain when he was conquering Xixia. He was overturned by the explosion and died of serious injuries. , because the explosion time is really difficult to grasp.

Song Qingshu’s landmines were made of the nitroglycerin #glycerin made by Nobel later, but an extremely fragile porcelain bottle was placed on the top of the dynamite, and the inside was a strong lye. When the horse’s hoof trampled on the porcelain bottle and broke it, it was produced by the comprehensive reaction of acid and alkali. The huge amount of heat ignited the explosives in the next few seconds, and flew out with the lead beads on it.

The power of Nobel explosives can far exceed that of black powder. The gasoline barrel flying mine guns used by the People's Liberation Army in later generations, that is, the unscrupulous guns, also use this kind of explosives.After coming back last night, knowing that it was inevitable to fight against the former fellow peasant army, Song Qingshu personally ordered to bury these deadly things on the battlefield at a distance of 50 to 80 meters.

More than 50 big gift packages with such great power were played together, not to mention the peasant army, even the official army could not bear it, leaving thousands of corpses behind, and the mighty cavalry team dragged all kinds of majestic troops just now. Daqi ran away, especially Ma Shouying, who was watching from behind, his wrinkled old face almost turned into a bitter melon.

This is okay, but the reaction on the battlefield was somewhat beyond Song Qingshu's expectations. He was not surprised that Cao Cao's cavalry retreated. What surprised him was that the defeated army crashed into the infantry line that followed the reunion, knocking his own army into a commotion. The lack of effective organizational system and dispatching of the army was immediately revealed. Everyone charged with a few famous leaders and warriors. After such a rush, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. In the chaos, the offensive unexpectedly stalled.

Originally, he planned to rely on the trenches to massacre the attacking infantry. Song Qingshu was stunned by this scene, but at the same time, he found himself in trouble. Now the trenches are more than 100 meters away from the battlefield. However, in the past ten years or so, the peasant army has turned defeat into victory, but it is not rare.

There is still a little concern, have all the landmines exploded?In case the charge blows up his own people, there is nowhere to cry.

Song Qingshu was violating the taboo of the battlefield and hesitated, but some people did not hesitate. Seeing this rare scene, Qiu Ming pulled out his sword with great excitement, jumped into the trench with one stride, and turned back to roar at his subordinates.

"If you don't kill the thief now, when will you wait? Kill!"

Song Qingshu was caught off guard, and recovered from the shock. The officers and soldiers who had already been excited rushed out of the trenches in batches, shouting and ran towards the messy peasant army. He hid behind and ran out, seeing thousands of feet stepping on it, but he didn't see an explosion. He gritted his teeth, and Song Qingshu also drew out his knife.

"Begging army, go! Let Cao Cao and Ge Zuo know who is the boss of our rebel army!"

With a shout, Liu Zongmin, Li Tiezhu, and Zhang Erlian's long spear team, who had already been unable to hold back, also rushed out of the camp as if they had been amnesty, and rushed up immediately.

The Yanmenguan officers and soldiers in front had entered the chaotic tens of thousands of peasant troops and began to fight. The blood was boiling. Liu Zongmin swung his sword and was about to strike, but Li Tiezhu's high-pitched words were unexpected.

"Go on the bayonet!"

There was a crackling sound, and immediately a row of gleaming bayonets from the Musketeers stabbed at the back of the extremely chaotic peasant army. With the crackling sound, pillars of blood spurted out like springs, and the peasant army fell down a row. , the moment the musketeers at the front retreated with their bayonets, the second team, which cooperated in pairs, stabbed fiercely and died. This efficiency was almost as good as that of a meat grinder.

Liu Zongmin stared blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly came back to his senses, yelled "Mother", swung a big knife and rushed in, only to see this guy dancing with a knife like a spinning top, next to his It was unlucky, no matter the cavalry or infantry, they all fell to the ground bleeding.

What the Peasant Army is best at is not fighting, but fleeing for their lives. Seeing that the momentum is not good, the infantry of the Peasant Army who were still rushing forward stopped charging, dragging the banner that had just scared people, and fled backwards, charging It is impossible to achieve a uniform pace at the time, and the pace of the retreat is really uniform. After a while, tens of thousands of people ran backwards together, and the passage for the cavalry was also given up. One of the pine.

It would be unwise to chase after him any longer. Song Qingshu knew that Cao Cao was a bad guy, and he was playing tricks when fighting. He must have suppressed a cavalry in his hands. If he messed with himself, it would hurt, but Just when Song Qingshu was about to order the Mingjin to be good, the east gate of Xinzhou, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened the south gate, and thousands of officers and soldiers appeared like ants moving, especially a cavalry of Xinzhou who was still arrogant They walked around to the front of their own army, and a row of spears pointed at themselves and others, shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the Yanmen Pass Army stop!"

This **** obviously saw that there was a bargain, and came out to grab the head, carrying a bloody knife, Qiu Ming was so angry that he almost didn't go up and cut people.However, this matter fell right into Song Qingshu's arms. These dog officers and soldiers rarely did a good thing, stopping the soldiers who were jealous of themselves.

He also stretched out with a look of anger, and rushed back with Qiu Ming, who was jumping and cursing, while Song Qingshu also ordered to rescue the wounded and return to the camp. Following the order, the bloody Yanmen Gate guards and beggars were swearing. Backed away, distanced from the battlefield.

A battle with a scale of nearly 10 people, calculated in less than half an hour, was actually over. Anyway, military exploits are useless to Song Qingshu. This time, Cao Cao and Gezuo Fifth Battalion have achieved an unforgettable lesson. Why bother to do this again? Kill all the bad guys?
Arranging to guard the barracks closely, looking at the Xinzhou army that was gradually going away, and returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Song Qingshu couldn't help but tugged at Qiu Ming's arm who was still cursing non-stop, raised his head and laughed out loud sound.
