Chapter 467: The Loyal Man
At night, the Mongolian camp was on fire, and the fried flowers and flowers who were playing horses in the distance looked at each other, and the two horsewhips fell to the ground, and they swallowed saliva fiercely in the distance.
He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle tonight, that is, the kind of Ming army and the Great Khan's guards fighting to the death, they would benefit from it, Tumen Khan's subordinates, Qi Jiguang's armor soldiers, and in the end, it would be theirs.
I never imagined that this would be the result.
More than a dozen huge shadows rose from Qi Jiguang's camp, and were blown by the wind and staggered to the camp, and then I don't know what happened, as if the sound of thunder came from the camp of the Great Khan one after another, the felt tent and the camp tent were swallowed up by the fire, the cattle, sheep and horses were frightened and rushed out, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers was everywhere in the world.
"That, that's, what kind of immortal art?"
The leaders of the five subordinate troops, including Fried Flower, all looked at the heralds with surprise as the riders had never been so valued.
Not to mention these nomadic lords who surrendered in the north, even he, the herald sent by Qi Jiguang, had never seen such a scene, in fact, this was the first time that Daming's Flying Fish had officially entered the battle, and before that, only the Beiyang Army had seen such majesty in previous experiments.
"Your commanders, don't look at me, Qi Shuai has an order, please go into the army to conscript."
Entering the working state, the little herald suddenly became arrogant: "Qi Shuai said, all of you are good at using soldiers, and you won't teach how to do things, but the cattle, sheep, horses, armor and war profits will be gathered together, and when the war subsides, each department will be rewarded according to its merits; Also, don't go to the west, the Celestial Army has already lined up the car formation in the west, and if the lights are blind, don't be injured by mistake. ”
At this point, the fried flowers and others knew that there was no chance to ride the wall and swing, so they had to put their hearts sideways, and one after another orders were spread all over the thousands of longs, and the armed herdsmen from Wulianghai in the Ming Dynasty rode horses and bows, and marched towards the Khan's camp in all directions.
The debut of the flying fish won Qi Jiguang's heart.
The reason why Qi Jiguang is Qi Jiguang is that in another history, China's military ideology and philosophy have hardly changed for three hundred years after him.
He said that for the way of the general, the first thing is to cure the heart; What is Heart? The heart is the soul of the army, is the army's thoughts, his precepts and blood alliance, that is, to carry out ideological education for the army, his triumphant song let the troops know two questions, the first is why to fight, and the second is to fight for whom.
His military thinking was not only used in the Ming Dynasty, but even 300 years later, the Hunan Army and the Whampoa Military Academy still used his guiding ideology and management methods for the army, and even Zeng Guofan simply used the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Practical Record of Military Training" as the guiding materials of the Hunan army.
As for the Mandarin Duck Array, it is even more extensive than the two books, and has been used in small-scale thief arrest and riot prevention work.
Books can be learned, but the most critical characteristics of a person are difficult to learn, and Qi Jiguang's most obvious and strongest personal characteristic is to divide an army into various types of modular troops regardless of strength or weakness and adapting measures to local conditions.
He paid attention to restraint in fighting, and on the ridges of the southeast fields where the height was uneven and difficult, he used light soldiers to carry tiger squatting cannons to form a mandarin duck formation; The same army was pulled to the north, the combat environment and the enemy changed, and the Zhejiang army also became a heavily armed armored battalion carrying artillery, chariots, and paying attention to firepower.
Naval battles have long been made very clear by Yu Dayou, that is, big ships eat small boats, and big cannons win small cannons; And the land war was also played by Qi Jiguang, in this case, it is almost needless to say what the weapon that makes the war from two-dimensional to three-dimensional means to Qi Jiguang.
Something that can't be reached by arrows or slashed by a knife is simply a weapon of war.
Seventeen huge flying fish soared from the camp, carrying 11,900 pounds of flowering bombs and fire oil canisters over the enemy camp.
With such a amount of gunpowder, who in the world can set off a big fireworks with 10,000 catties of nitrate? Only the kings of China and Bengal and the Sultan of Morocco can, the best nitrate mines in the Indian subcontinent are in Bengal, and the Sahara Desert in North Africa also has nitrate mines, which is why the princes of Bengal can make the Mughal cavalry not advance an inch, the Portuguese king folds the Mahazan River, and Christianity is frequently deflated in North Africa.
But now the situation in Bangladesh does not exist, and most of the saltpeter mines there are in the hands of the abbot, who said that fireworks are needed to contribute to the Buddha's celebrations...... Indeed, the earth kings can only pick up saltpeter ore but not make it, and with the same amount of medicine, saltpeter is indeed only enough to set off a firework in their hands.
China has always been a place rich in nitrate, unlike Europe or other countries can only use their brains in toilets and church chairs, the four main production and marketing areas, Shandong's soil nitrate, Shanxi's salt nitrate, Shuzhong's Sichuan nitrate, and Northwest Mineral Nitrate, the refining and preparation methods are different, in addition to the fact that there are North Jianghuai after the Mid-Autumn Festival can sweep nitrate, not to mention that this country has the world's most toilets.
This is why saltpeter is called Chinese snow.
And these various production techniques have also been classified as secret, very well preserved, the use of gunpowder in Japan may have been brought over by Wang Zhi, because even North Korea does not know how gunpowder came from, it is said that in the early years Koreans asked the angel how gunpowder came from, this fucking messenger of the Celestial Empire told people that gunpowder was refined from the sea, and as a result, they were dizzy and used their strength on the beach for a hundred years.
Seeing that the gunpowder consumed by the suzerainty in the war was often counted in 100,000 catties, and the gunpowder reserves on the nine sides were even more million catties, and he could only exchange the few gunpowder with tribute in difficult times, which was uncomfortable.
There is no even need for Chen Mu to send gunpowder home, for which hundred households, gunpowder may be a scarce material, but this consumption of gunpowder is like playing for Qi Jiguang's status.
It is well worth it to exchange a small price for a huge result.
Tumen Khan's painstaking efforts to assemble the army of the various tribes were almost wiped out, and the battle was even easier than Qi Jiguang imagined, and the armies of the barbarian tribes were scattered and defeated by the troops far less than their troops, and countless thousands of troops disappeared into the desert.
Thousands of troops rushed to the west with their heads covered, and rushed to the car formation that the Qi family's army had already set up in the west, and the guns and cannons were all out to beat them to the point of crying father and mother.
It wasn't until the end of the battle that Fried Flower and Hua Da lowered their heads and led Chen Dacheng, a general under Qi Jiguang, into the still smoking barbarian camp, and saw Tumen Khan, who died extremely unjustly, to understand the real reason why this battle was so easy.
Tumen Khan did not fall, his chest was embedded with the fragments of the flowering bomb exploded, leaning against the door of the felt tent to maintain a standing posture, his hand raised his index finger as if he was going to scold someone, and in the felt tent, opposite the Great Khan, there was a thousand long throats cut by the fragments, and both hands flew.
"Dashuai, it should be this warrior who wanted to rush out of the tent with a flowering bomb to protect the Great Khan, but he blew up before he could run out."
Qi Jiguang listened to Aijiang's statement, and said with his hands behind his back: "Well, it's a loyal person...... Don't cut off the head, bury it thickly. ”
But when Chen Dacheng left, Qi Jiguang has been thinking about a problem that has been ignored by people.
Whether the impact of the falling object from a high altitude is enough to penetrate the felt tent, it seems that the diagram of the camp formation in the "Actual Record of Military Training" needs to add something more, and the camp needs to add a thick roof.
Look at the pathetic Tumen Khan, the felt tent fire pit opened the skylight, and the entire chain of command was ended.
