Chapter 963: Earthquake Side
It is precisely because of the abundant personal firearms, coupled with a large number of accompanying small artillery, that the Chasseur Battalion maintains a sharp offensive mode and offensive style, which is also the original intention of the military department to set up the Chaser Battalion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It is also strange to say that so many thorns gathered together actually maintained considerable military discipline and the mobility and combat effectiveness that ordinary troops did not have, and in terms of pure offensive means and efficiency, the lancer battalion may not be the opponent of the chasseur battalion...... After all, the lancers are heavy armored cavalry, most of their parts are wearing cuirasses and various armor accessories, and the horses are also armored, one person, two horses or three horses, and they must be followed by horses, which is far worse than the chaser battalion in terms of mobility, and the lancers are the tactics of charging into battle with heavy armored iron cavalry, and the enemy must also have the will to fight in order to be effective, otherwise even if the lancers find the enemy, when they rush forward, the enemy has already scattered and fled, and they want to chase and destroy the fleeing enemy with heavy armored iron cavalry, or burn and loot in the enemy's territory like a chaser cavalry...... Even if the lancers were tenacious, they could do the same thing, and they had to be able to do it.
At least in front of the dragoons, the chassars all put on the faces of elite veterans, which made the dragoons look very angry, including officers at all levels, they all felt that the chasers were too arrogant, and they were inevitably dissatisfied.
"Shixiong, have a mission?"
When the two Chinese armies staggered, Niu Qinzhong and Zhang Shixiong took a look.
Zhang Shixiong used to be a military attaché, and he couldn't compare with ordinary military attachés in terms of communication, so he saluted a military salute on the horse and said with a smile: "It was directly ordered by the Military Orders Department, and we have to carry it out." ”
"Oh, then I won't ask any more." Niu Qinzhong knew that the Chasseur Battalion was directly under the command of the Military Command Department and the Marching Division, and was not incorporated into the division direct command sequence, and the division headquarters was the establishment of the Chaser Cavalry Battalion directly under it, but now there are neither personnel nor financial resources, and the formation needs to wait for a while, and the original Chaser Cavalry Battalion has not been expanded, but it has been organized into five companies from the original three companies, with more than 800 people, which is the largest number in the battalion-level unit. However, the officers and soldiers who were selected later were certainly not as strong as the chaser battalion at the beginning, and there was no way to do it, because there were many people in the world who could not find ways to recruit more horse thieves and bandits to join the chaser battalion.
"Yes, my subordinates will take their leave." Zhang Shixiong didn't say much, the chaser officers around him almost all had the same temperament and appearance, tall bodies, broad shoulders, strong breath, and faces as hard and indifferent as rocks, except for Zhang Shixiong, no one said hello, and a regimental commander with a silver star on his shoulder passed by, these people actually turned a blind eye, just saluted a military salute and it was over.
"What a rude bunch of bastards." The lieutenant officer of the dragoon regiment was quite angry, and couldn't help but whisper: "These guys are too arrogant, they really think they are elite, they have a fart to fight against the upright division!" ”
Niu Qinzhong laughed and said: "The battle between the arms is inevitable, but don't hurt the friendly army, although they are not respectful enough, there is actually nothing to find fault with in terms of etiquette." ”
Everyone didn't say anything, but Zhang Yansheng and Lu Si and other young officers couldn't help but have some envy in their eyes, the firepower output of the chasers was really fierce, and the firepower below the company level should be second to none in the merchant army.
Lu Si saw it very clearly: a tall man with a scorched face passed by in front of him triumphantly, wearing not only two long guns, but also as many as four short firearms on his waist, as well as many throwing weapons...... The chasers do not practice the formation or the method of charging the formation, but mainly use the firepower and throwing weapons to output killing, forming a formation in order to protect themselves when they are in battle, and then killing and injuring the enemy with a large area of lethal firepower, if the enemy is too strong, they will retreat in a roundabout way, so they do not need to be strong, and they do not need to practice charging formation.
In this case, the attack power of the chasers is really sharp, and the combat style is as fierce as the wind, fierce and abnormal, so naturally Lu Si, who was born in the lancer, is full of respect.
The yellow-faced man also seemed to sense Lu Si's gaze, and grinned at him.
Lu Si nodded to the other party, the horses were not moving slowly, and in the flowing river of Gugu, the two armies quickly staggered and disappeared behind each other, leaving only the bright light of the fire to continue to flicker, like a fire dragon winding forward.
……
Brain Mao led more than 3,000 elites in his headquarters, most of whom were strong herdsmen, all of whom were full of flesh and were brave and ruthless.
Needless to say, the archery skills are also quite sharp subordinates, from the pure riding and archery method, the Mongols are actually much stronger than the Jurchens, the Jurchens are fishing and hunting people, horseback hunting is certainly their way of survival, but there are also fishing and picking wild vegetables and dried fruits in the forest, the tribes have also been farming, and their number of horses is insufficient, and there is no way to ensure that everyone in the tribe can learn to ride a horse from a young age, so far, the Jurchen Eight Banners each expedition is still two to three percent on foot, There are no war horses with him, which is completely different from the situation of the Eight Banners and Ten Thousand Horses galloping out to fight in film and television dramas seen by later generations. The Mongols, on the other hand, are nomadic people, truly a people on horseback, and are far from comparable to the Han in terms of riding and archery skills and fierceness.
The small dun fort in front has been lit with wolf smoke, this belongs to the place under the jurisdiction of the middle road of Jizhen, originally belonged to the Duoyanwei boundary in the three guards of Wuliangha, now the Karaqin people have moved west, there is only green grass and yellow woods everywhere on the grassland, through the buffer zone, after seeing the mountains and mountains, you can see the side wall built by the mountain like a long dragon, and there are more or less Ming troops guarding the hollow enemy platform, but seeing a large force of Mongolian cavalry coming, these enemy platforms are almost useless, but the mountains are steep, Many times the nomads, including the later Jurchen people broke through the pass, still in some important passes to enter, because the important pass also means that it is a dangerous place, once the breakthrough is easy to enter the plain area deep in the Yan Mountain, just like the front of the brain hair is Panjiakou, once the breach, you can quickly cross the Luan River, straight to the core of Jizhen Santun camp, and then Zunhua, Changping, Yutian, Fengrun, Jizhou and other places are directly under the front of the army, during the Jiajing period, Gubeikou was broken through, Panjiakou was also broken through by the Mongols, and all over Gyeonggi, plundered, to the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji is from Hongshan Pass and Longjing Pass, Da'ankou and other places to break into, break through to the hinterland of Jizhen, capture a number of dangerous passes and cities, it can be seen that once the armament is wasted, these dangerous passes and strong cities are useless, just decoration.
The Great Wall and the fort military platform in front of him are all set up by Qi Jiguang when he was the prime minister of Jizhen, when the Ming Dynasty was shocked by the destruction of Panjiakou, Zhang Juzheng and others learned from the pain when Bingguo, in addition to the four towns of Changping are under the management of Qi Jiguang, the famous general, at the same time allocated a huge amount of money, repaired and rebuilt the Great Wall along the Jizhen line, built a large number of military platforms and a large scale can place firearms and a large number of soldiers of the hollow enemy platform, because Qi Jiguang trained the law, the border pass built is very strong and huge, after its town guards Jizhen, For decades, the northern captives have not been invaded by Jizhen, and there have been occasional small-scale conflicts, and the northern captives have suffered a lot, which is completely different from the situation in Liaozhen.
When a large force of the northern cavalry went south, the fire piers along the side wall of Panjiakou were lit one after another, and under the wolf smoke in the sky, the northern cavalry rushed all the way until they reached the outside of the pass before stopping.
The forts in the Panjiakou area are all under martial law, Panjiakou is full of soldiers and horses, a general and three guerrillas, five or six garrisons gather above or under the pass, and at the same time begin to bid farewell to Changping and Jingshi.
Since the Jiajing period because of the northern captives repeatedly into the border, set up the Jiliao Governor, the Jiliao Governor has become one of the most important governors of the Ming Dynasty, the area under its jurisdiction reaches the border of the Great Wall in Datong Town in the west, to the east of Liaodong, and governs the three major governors of Shuntian, Baoding and Liaodong, that is, part of Inner Mongolia in later generations, Shanxi part, Hebei and the whole territory of Tianjin and most of Liaoning Province are under the jurisdiction of the Jiliao Governor's defense area, in fact, the west to Datong, the east to the mountains and seas of Liaodong, are all for the arch to defend the barrier Jingshi, Jizhen is the most core defense area, The governor of Jiliao was stationed in Miyun in the spring and summer, and was stationed in Changping in the autumn, and when the wolf smoke was ignited, Wu Yongxian, the governor of Jiliao in Changping, also received the Tang report for the first time.
I believe that at the same time, Tang Bao also hurriedly marched to the area of the Beijing Division, such a major event is not something that the Governor of Jiliao can arbitrarily decide, of course, it will be reported to the military department and directly to the imperial front as soon as possible, and it will reach the heavens.
As for Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, his main territory is inside and outside the gate and Ningyuan and Jinzhou, of course, Dengfu, Tianjin Governor and other tripartite arrangements related to the war zone are also under the responsibility of Sun Chengzong, and the annual military salary of millions is also assigned by the old Sun Tou, the power is very large, but the real jurisdiction is not large, unlike Yuan Chonghuan when he was the Jiliao Governor, and set up the Baoding Governor, the power of the Jiliao Governor was weakened a lot, and after Jiliao as a whole, facing the Houjin detour into the customs, Jizhen became very weak, and finally the Houjin soldiers fell into many cities and besieged the Beijing Division, This has created an extremely dire situation.
Within two days, not only Jizhen was shaken, but Xuanfu, Datong, Liaozhen, Tianjin, Shandong, and Denglai in the south were all shaken by the big move of the northern captives into Kou to Panjiakou.
Wu Yongxian, as the governor, could only lead the Governor Biao battalion to the front line in person, rushed to the Panjiakou area, and at the same time ordered the front-line generals, we must inquire clearly, what is the reason for the large-scale attack of the northern captives, and in addition, we must find out whether the northern captives have continued to increase troops on a large scale, and must be careful along the Great Wall. It is necessary to know that many places of the Great Wall are built in dangerous places, which is also a unique geographical phenomenon on the dividing line between farming peoples and nomads at that time, such as the Gobi Desert in the north of the Great Wall in the west, or the dangerous shoals such as salt ponds, or in the Hetao area, to the first line of Shanxi, Shanxi and Hebei in Shaanxi, then the first line of the Great Wall is mostly lofty mountains and mountains, and the same is true in Liaodong, the Great Wall is mostly built along the Liaohe River Loop, and it is mostly a steep and important place, so as long as the pass is guarded, it is difficult for the enemy to cross from the Great Wall line, even if there are not many guards, But the possibility that the cavalry would have to climb the mountains and mountains and then climb the wall was too small.
