Ten years ago, Deng Zilong had defeated the elephant soldiers, or defeated the elephant soldiers in a white-bladed battle, and defeated the elephant soldiers in close quarters and ambushes, what he could do, Xiao Ruxun, a firearm maniac, would not admit it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Xiao Ruxun's consciousness, if one cannon can't be solved, then two, a hundred can't be solved, then two hundred, he has more than 700 artillery pieces, and the three coastal provinces provide him with enough flowering shells, and he is still afraid that the elephant soldiers will not succeed?

However, he had never had close contact with the elephant soldiers, and neither did his soldiers, so he felt that if he really encountered the elephant soldiers, it would be better to take a look at the elephant soldiers' combat mode first, and see how the elephant soldiers of Na Rui Xuan fought against each other with the elephant soldiers in Mangying.

Na Ruixuan absolutely did not know and did not see how Xiao Ruxun used hundreds of artillery to send the Japanese army into the sky in the first place, the large artillery tactics and firearms array he advocated in this era can only be composed of his troops, with overwhelming artillery and absolute firepower superiority from both psychological and physical aspects of the enemy, so that the enemy army is on the verge of collapse, and then use hand-to-hand combat troops to harvest heads.

This tactic of winning purely by the intensity of firepower and the tenacity of the army was the only means of victory in the arquebus era, and the European tactical methods of warfare were nothing more than that, through training to improve the proficiency of the gunners, to find ways to increase the resilience of the troops, and then to find ways to innovate technology, as for the innovation of tactics, what positional trenches and the like, the current musket is not to that extent at all.

However, it takes a long time for new technologies to emerge and replace the old technology itself, just like the flintlock pistol appeared in Europe more than 40 years ago, but until now, there are still many armies and generals who refuse to use flintlock pistols, and flintlock pistols cannot be equipped with European armies, arquebuses are still popular, and long arquebuses are still essential for the army.

The cost is high, the skill is difficult, and it cannot be easily mass-produced, and the generals and soldiers who have just mastered the arquebus tactics are resisting the flintlock pistol, just like the Liaodong Army supports the three-eyed gun to resist the bird's gun, Xiao Ruxun originally wrote to ask the imperial court to cancel the three-eyed gun bowl mouth gun and other firearms equipment of the previous generation, and was opposed by some generals of the Liaodong Army, the Nine-sided Border Army and the Naval Division, they all thought that the three-eyed gun was easier to use, and the arquebus was too difficult to use, not to mention the annoyance, the border pass was windy, and it was easy to squint.

To put it bluntly, it's lazy, it's not willing to train, it's just that you want to live a good life, and you don't want to get better.

Xiao Ruxun didn't have a good way for a while, but he knew that it was much easier to change technology than people, so he set up a blacksmith battalion, called the blacksmith battalion, which was just a means to cover people's ears, in fact, his own private research institute, using his knowledge and the experience of the old blacksmiths to find a way to make a more sophisticated flintlock pistol than Europe.

King Narui Xuan didn't know that Xiao Ruxun had so many ideas, and he was actually reluctant to tell Xiao Ruxun about the weakness of the elephant soldiers, because the elephant soldiers were also the strength he relied on, and if he didn't have the deterrent power of the elephant soldiers, he would have a headache, although the elephant soldiers had been eliminated by the mainstream society.

"That means that if Mang Yingli sends elephant soldiers to attack our army, the king will also send elephant soldiers to fight against it? Trying to protect the situation of our army? ”

Na Ruixuan nodded: "That's right, that's right, although the elephant soldiers' words can be handed over to Xiao Wang and the army under his command, the elephant soldiers fight, Xiao Wang has a little experience, and he will not fall behind, as for their musketeers, Admiral, I won't tell you that the formation time of the musket team under Mang Yingli is earlier than Xiao Wang's musket team, Xiao Wang's musket team has only been established for a few years, but the musket team in Mang Yingli has decades of records, a lot of them, strong combat effectiveness, Xiao Wang has a Franco machine man, and their subordinates also have some Franco machine people. ”

Xiao Ruxun pretended to be displeased and frowned: "These Franco-machine people really can't be offended anywhere!" Ben Dou also had an army of about 200 Francois brought from Macao, and when Ben Dou went to Macao, they offered to follow Ben Tu to fight in all directions, so that they were not afraid to kill their own compatriots? ”

"They don't care." King Nari Xuan smiled indifferently: "These Franc Machines only care about money, as long as they are given enough money, they can sell you even their wives and children, not to mention the muskets in their hands, Xiao Wang bought the first batch of firearms from them, and then loaded the troops, recruited a group of Franc Robot musketeers to train, and was able to fight against the musket team in Mangyingli, and then these Hongmaoyi beat their compatriots without mercy, and there are rewards in Mangyingli, how much is the reward for killing a Francophone, So they work harder. ”

"It's madness! To be able to do so much for money, isn't it a shameless person who has no king, no father, and no shame? ”

Xiao Ruxun pretended to be displeased and reprimanded.

King Narui Xuan smiled: "They are so shameless, just for money, then it's the best, as long as you know what they are for, then give them to them, and then use them, these red hairs are more and more over the years, everyone is quite shameless, as long as there is money, everything is easy to say, it is better to recruit to fight, and it is not distressing to die, but the money paid to them is enough for Xiao Wang to form a musket team of more than 1,000 people." ”

The number of Spanish musketeers under King Narixuan does not seem to be large, mixed with the Portuguese and the French and the Dutch, the number seems to be more than 500 people, and they can fight alone, plus more than 1,000 Japanese ronins, these 1,500 people are the high-end combat power under his command, elite troops, generally not used much, if they move, it means that it is a hard battle.

Then Xiao Ruxun and King Narui Xuan discussed the route of the march and the date of the troops, as well as the key points of the two armies' coordinated operations, etc., Xiao Ruxun took into account the incoordination of the two armies, so he adopted the same treatment as the Korean army, and fought separately, the two armies set up their own cities and strongholds to attack, commanded separately, and did not subordinate each other, but the military operations between each other must be communicated with each other, and the heads of both sides must be informed of the actions of both sides at the first time, and they cannot march blindly, so as not to be broken by each of them.

King Narui Xuan is not dissatisfied with such a strategy, he was also a little worried that Xiao Ruxun wanted the command of his army, which made him a little worried, but Xiao Ruxun didn't want it, he was very happy, but if the two armies coordinated operations, it seemed that it was difficult to take care of each other, for example, if the Ming army encountered a surprise attack by the elephant army, he didn't know how to help.

Such a thing is very dangerous to put on the battlefield.
