Chapter 788: Battle
The captain of the pro-soldier is still a military attache with the rank of a thousand, seeing that this noble son does not enter the oil and salt, he is not reluctant, so he has to make up his mind, and after a while, he really rushes into battle, and Yusheng as long as there is a slight sign of not being able to hold on, he has to immediately escape with this young man, fortunately, at that time, the Jianyu cavalry will definitely chase the infantry, rush to the valley mouth to try to burn food, it is unlikely that he will make up his mind about his team of cavalry with bright armor and strict discipline.

However, when he heard Wu Sangui's last words, the captain of the pro-soldier couldn't help but sneer: "Your uncle laughed at you? This is really a big joke, he is an old man, but he is a real expert in the matter of escaping before the battle, and he is the first fugitive in the world! β
The two armies gradually became confrontational, and the Houjin soldiers calmly lined up, judging from the formation, the cavalry was the main left flank of the car battalion, and the center and right flank were mainly infantry and bannermen.
In particular, the armored Jurchen soldiers and Han troops were mostly concentrated opposite the wooden fence.
The terrain of the two armies is similar, they are all standing on flat ground, and there are a few winding dirt slopes in the middle, which are not more than a few steps, and they can pass by in one step, and do not affect the overall situation.
The ground had almost dried up, and the Jurchen bows and arrows would not be affected in the slightest under this scorching sun, and they could be fired calmly.
"Drink!"
After the formation was completed, the Jurchen side looked like a rainbow, and after a loud shout, the entire array began to move slowly forward.
The banner is displayed, the cotton armor soldiers, cavalry, Zhuangda, Baijia, Niu Lu Zhangjing, Niu Lu Ezhen, until the Meile Zhangjing, Baijia Zhangjing, all kinds of back flags, flags, big flags converge into the sea, invisibly making the queue of thousands of people become vast like the sea.
"Leave them alone." Lin Cunzhi and other veterans and sergeants shouted: "Everything is under control, and the captives can't attack it!" β
"When you hear the order, follow the instructions during training."
"If you listen to orders, you may live, and if you mess up, it will be all over."
"Think about Lord Zhang's kindness and discipline to everyone, think about military orders and discipline, and think about your parents and relatives at home. Do not die, and put them to shame and shame. β
"If you win, you will be rewarded with silver, medals, and fields."
Military and political officers were the most active group at this time, and they kept wandering around the army according to the established line, using ordinary training, military discipline, military discipline, and various rewards to stimulate the morale of the army.
At the instigation of the military and political officers, or perhaps the credit of daily training, after a slight commotion, the long fence quickly returned to calm.
"It's a hard bone to gnaw." Although Li Yongfang is a general, he has also been in the army for a long time over the years, even if he can sit firmly in the Ming army Fushun Pass guerrilla is not an easy task, he has been in the army for a lifetime, and he is also old, of course, at this time, it can be seen that the silence of the soldiers behind the long gate and the car camp is not a good thing.
The confusion, the harassment, the screams, and the roars of the generals, none of these familiar things appeared.
Not only Li Yongfang, but even the Eight Banner generals such as Man Darhan also had solemn faces.
A Meler Zhangjing suddenly said: "It seems to be a bit like the Zhejiang soldiers during the Battle of the Hunhe River, but it is much more stable than the Zhejiang soldiers." β
"Compared to the Marin Department in Salhu, it feels much stronger."
The Jurchens have fought against the Ming army many times, and they have a lot of experience, and they have a different sense of the strength of the Ming army
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) is not bad.
The firearms units of the Ming army were never valued by the Jurchens, or rather, the Jurchen high-level only valued the artillery of the Ming army, rather than the shoddy and poor-quality firearms.
It may be that the firearms of the Ming army during the battle of the unification of the Later Jin Dynasty were too poor, or it may be that they fooled themselves and were lame, when the emperor Taiji, he attached great importance to artillery, and when he was in Kangxi, the master who made the early machine gun was exiled to Heilongjiang, and when it came to the Daoguang period, the Qing army did not even make artillery.
At this time, a rather powerful army suddenly appeared in front of the Jurchens, who had always despised firearms, which was really a strange and surprising thing.
It was Mandalhan who felt particularly awkward, one of his elite white-armored guards was killed by a single blow, and a battle-hardened warrior was not killed by the enemy's sword, but was smashed by a piece of lead, and Mandalhan was as awkward and uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Mandarhan said to Li Yongfang with a gloomy face: "Forehead, how to fight?" β
Li Yongfang knew what the other party meant, he closed his eyes, closed them slightly, and opened them in an instant, he said: "The Han army and the banner Ding formed a round formation, charging frontally, and the red armor soldiers rode on the left flank, and together with the white armor, the camera attacked the car camp. β
Mandarhan laughed and said, "Just do what you say!" β
According to the Eight Banners and Daming Liao Town learned and carried forward the tactics, that is, the column circle formation, a small circle formation formed a long formation of layers, in case of war, if you can impact the cavalry to break the enemy, most of them are charged with this infantry formation. The spear and halberd are speared with warriors as the vanguard, the cavalry cooperates to harass the enemy formation on both flanks, and the infantry array is frontal attack, with the elite of the sharp soldiers, holding the spear and halberd to break the formation. In the notes of officials who experienced the war with the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty, there are many records of the Jurchen infantry formation, it can be said that the so-called riding and archery won the country, riding is what the Jurchens are good at, but it is far less than Mongolia, and the archery is indeed the best in the world at that time, under the premise that the British have given up the longbow troops, the Jurchen archers are indeed the first in the world at that time, not only in East Asia.
And the real repeated victories, repeated defeats of the strong enemy's winning tricks, of course, or learn from the Liaozhen Ming army, and carry forward the big infantry formation to defeat the enemy, every battle, with the elite in heavy armor in front, holding long soldiers to break the formation, invincible.
The real threat to the Houjin infantry array is not the Zhejiang soldiers on the bank of the Hunhe River, even if the Zhejiang soldiers are very heroic, the resistance is very fierce, and the Houjin side has a lot of casualties, but the Zhejiang soldiers have lost Qi Jiguang's training, or the Zhejiang soldiers have never been an army that fights with blood, the way the Zhejiang soldiers fight comes from the genius generals, and the emphasis is on the command and the overall cooperation, on the bank of the Hunhe River, the Zhejiang soldiers fought very well, but that's what happened, the real Jurchens were frightened, and it was the white pole soldiers from Sichuan who felt uncomfortable when they thought about itβ¦β¦ The spears are arrayed, the pace is neat, the array is strict, and the attack on the Jurchen infantry formation is not inferior, under the ring attack of several times the Jurchen Eight Banner soldiers, the white pole soldiers are like rocks and do not move, making the Jurchens pay the price of blood, and finally it is the artillery bombardment in the city that opens the gap in the white pole soldier formation, which swarms up and completely annihilates this strong Sichuan soldier......
The Jurchen infantry formation does have its own uniqueness, but in the face of the unknown enemy in front of him, when the pressure is great, a commander like Mandarhan does not want his subordinates to die...... The Eight Banners system is competitive, which is considered a benefit, but the disadvantages certainly outweigh the advantages, and the banner owners of each banner regard the soldiers and bannermen of their own banners as private property and do not want to damage more
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) injury, even if Huang Taiji's will is firm, in Mandalhan's heart, he does not want to lose too many subordinates. Even if Huang Taiji is the owner of the banner, but two of these cattle records in front of him are Mandalhan's own cattle records, the system of the eight banners, not only the flag owner, but also the cattle records are also divided into various forms such as the cattle record in the public and the own cattle records, the eight banner system, each has its own belonging, obey orders in wartime, and do its own thing in peacetime, after the war, the distribution of prisoners and wealth to each flag and each cow record, the Great Khan can not deprive the flag owners and nobles of their property at will.
This kind of system, in good times you can gain benefits by fighting hard, and in the slightest adversity, it will be like in front of you, Mandarhan is not willing to invest his subordinates to charge into battle, but wants to put the Han army in the position of the main attack.
Drums and horns sounded, flags were unfurled, and all the Han and Jurchen cavalry shouted violently, and the momentum of the entire army was immediately raised.
Li Mingli also followed the spirit, the big war is about to start, at this time, there is no need to think about the east and the west, and survival is the fundamental.
He was wearing a cotton armor, with iron leaves and copper nails inlaid on most of his chest, and a protective iron mesh skirt on his lower body.
The boots are not wire mesh boots, but ordinary cloth boots.
There are no shin guards on the legs, only leggings wrapped in strips of cloth.
There are no heart goggles or layers of iron armor leaves on his chest, no arm guards on his arms, and an ordinary cool hat on his head with red tassels.
Most of the Han army was dressed like this, and some people even did not even have armor, but only wore ordinary arrow robes with a tucked hem and compact sleeves, which made it easy to ride horses and shoot arrows.
The Han army did not have special archers, and in front of the formation, people with arrows slowly walked to the front row under the leadership of the officers, there were about three hundred people, plus the Jurchen archers on both sides, the number was about six hundred.
Compared with the Jurchens, the Han army was originally not good at shooting, in the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu stipulated that each hundred households should have at least sixty or seventy archers, and they should practice every three or five days, and there are several assessments every year.
By the time Emperor Chengzu Xiucai had long since stopped taking the bow and horse test, Emperor Chengzu was not right, and in order to win the hearts of the people, the rules for the military attache to be assessed were also canceled, and then the guard was corrupted, the sergeants fled, and the fields were occupied by the generals, and they couldn't even eat, who still had the heart to prepare their own bow and horse weapons, and practice every few days?
When it came time to recruit soldiers, most of the battalions in the towns were recruited from the guards army, the hooligans who filled the army, and the bankrupt peasants.
The Han army was attached from the Liaozhen army, and it was weak in the way of the bow and arrow, and Li Mingli and other archers also practiced archery skills in the past two years, which were more than a hundred times stronger than the original, and far worse than the Houjin archers.
Their bow strength is generally not strong, most of them are less than ten strength, according to the calculation of later generations, the traditional bows of these Han armies are only about sixty pounds, compared to the general strength of more than 100 pounds and even more than 150 pounds of the Later Jin soldiers, it is indeed too weak.
The Qing army's 150 pounds are also rare marksmen, according to the algorithm of the compound bow of later generations, there are about forty-five pounds, this strength is enough to penetrate the brick wall within 100 steps, the arrow trembles but does not fall, deep into the brick, this strength, and those entry-level crossbows, bow strength is almost the same.
