Chapter 786: Defeated
The army placed in the north of the pass is a miscellaneous card that has come to sacrifice, it is the Xuanfu soldiers who came to Liao when the military towns everywhere came to aid Liao the year before last, and the leader is a guerrilla general of Xuanfu, and the soldiers and horses of each town are very excluded in western Liaoning, and even the generals from the northwest such as You Shilu, the head of the general army, are also excluded, in short, it is to send the soldiers from other towns to death, and benefit the generals of western Liao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoγ
Under this premise, it is difficult for the soldiers and horses of each town to cooperate with the Liaoxi Jiangmen Group, and the small-scale encounters or defending the city can still fight a dozen, once it is a large-scale war, such as the battle of Songjin in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, each town has different thoughts, the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen run first, and the soldiers of Xuanfu are not willing to be left behind, only to throw the Qin army in Songshan.
"How do you practice the decomposition movement?"
Not far away, the squadron leader of the Warrior Commander was roaring, and he was very unhappy with the reloading of the baggage.
"Into your mother, there are more than forty loading actions strictly speaking, and you don't usually do decomposition exercises? Ten times a day will not be like what you are doing now! β
"Quick, quick, quick!"
In the thunderous shouts of the soldiers, the movements of the soldiers could only speed up one after another.
If it is a high-powered gun that has been tested, that is, a dozen pounds of guns that imitate the Spanish heavy smoothbore gun, it takes more than 90 actions from loading to fixed bracket shooting.
To put it simply, removing a bullet from a magazine can count as one action, but it can also count as four actions.
In the end, the military commander felt that the action of using a large-caliber smoothbore gun could be broken down into more than ninety, and the time when firing in front of the battle was slower than that of an ordinary flint gun by nearly half the time, which was really worth the loss.
Large-caliber smoothbore guns can help musketeers carry out quite long-range attacks, well-made large-caliber muskets are extremely powerful, the firing range is farther than ordinary small artillery, and can carry out very terrifying strikes on heavy armored cavalry, but the disadvantage is that the process of firing is cumbersome, and the most skilled heavy musketeers are far less than the degree of ordinary flint guns.
In a screeching reload, all the gunners finished reloading their firearms.
Since it was a fence defense, the mentality of the soldiers was much better. Several important points were taken care of by the squadron of soldiers, whose veterans and non-commissioned officers assisted in the command of the troops.
The heavy rain is clear, the water on the ground is evaporated, people feel uncomfortable, a one-and-a-half-mile-long concave arc defense line is initially established, both sides are all composed of car battalions, each car has a shooter, there is a small artillery on every few cars, or a tiger squat cannon, or a cannon, there are also small Franc machines, more than a hundred carts have more than a dozen small artillery, these artillery have a history of several decades, the quality of the newly cast artillery of the Ming army in recent years is generally too poor, and the materials cast a few decades ago are much more exquisite than the current production materials, The process is also more responsible.
These small-caliber guns are not very powerful, but they are better than nothing.
The gunners were also soldiers, and they nervously fiddled with the gun, trying to adjust the muzzle elevation angle as much as possible so that the shells flew out accurately, rather than indiscriminately.
There is a large insert in the middle of each car, and in the middle of the insert there are also standing soldiers, and some firecrackers are placed on the side of the car camp, and the soldiers brought down from the mountain by the bald head are responsible for covering the entire car camp to ensure that there is always firepower output on the side of the car camp.
The battle line was very long, and Zhang Chunniu and Bald Man and others rode horses to run on the front to ensure that everything was in order.
The bald man yelled at the soldiers: "Before the exchange of fire, keep the line, be quiet, and be calm." β
The soldiers put on their armor, the soldiers were in multiple iron armor, the soldiers were chain mail, the soldiers were mostly cotton armor, and the few soldiers were not wearing armor, they wore gray military robes.
Under the blue sky is a large area of black and brown mixed land, on the right hand side of the people is a large green green mountain, on the left hand side are two winding official roads like snakes, there are no pedestrians and merchants, only the sparse weeds growing in the middle of the official road, and the damaged villages on both sides of the official road, tiled houses and thatched houses are all in decline, and in front of it is the city of Quang Ninh, which has been demolished and burned.
This is the standard wasteland scene of later generations, only more dilapidated and desolate.
A large crowd suddenly appeared on the horizon.
The cyan robe and the red mandarin duck battle jacket were mixed, the military flag had long been thrown away, and many Ming soldiers had lost their weapons and ran forward with their bare hands.
The panicked crowd stepped on the muddy road, splashing the turf and mud all over the body, and no one thought it was funny that some people slipped and fell and got up again, these people were just fighting for their lives, everyone was just trying to live.
The guns were breathing rapidly, and many of the soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time looked nervous.
"Don't be afraid if you want to die!" The bald man roared: "The more afraid you are, the faster you will die!" β
Most of the soldiers who went to Liaodong this time had fought, but on the battlefield, it was mainly the garrison Taidun Fort, and a few people had been on the real battlefield, but they were not fighting as the main force.
The battle is mainly fought by the soldiers, and this time the soldiers will become the protagonists of the war, and their tension is inevitable.
"Ready" Sergeant Majors saw the Chinese Army Order Flag waving, and they ordered everyone to raise their muskets.
After a "bang-la-la" sound, more than a thousand firearms were raised diagonally.
A small number of soldiers formed a small formation near the camp of the car, and their main task was to protect the camp from the enemy cavalry from rushing from the camp on the left flank, directly encompassing the rear of the entire defensive line, and at the same time they could also rush to the valley mouth.
In addition to the battlefield visible in front of him, there seemed to be shouts of killing in the distance.
The bald man spat on the ground and said to Zhang Chunniu: "This must be a ranger sent by Jianyu to other places, the thunder is loud and the rain is small, but it just gives those bastards a reason to withdraw." β
The Ming army came to the aid of the Thirteen Mountains indeed for the above, and no general would really want to fight with Donglu here. In all the major wars, which time was not the total annihilation of the Ming army? Now it is said that Jianyu did not send the main force of the Eight Banners here, but who knows if it will be a dangerous trap? For the sake of safety, it is better to leave early, as for the safety of the people who have been evacuated from the mountain, and whether the food is enough, no one will really take this into account.
As long as the Jurchens made some gestures, these grandsons would definitely run fast and would never consider the safety of the convoy, although He Yusheng's convoy and soldiers were only here to help.
As for the anger of the emperor and Sun Chengzong, he has to face it after saving his life, without life, everything is fake.
"Run to the left!"
"Run to the left, don't rush to the camp!"
"Don't run to the fence, run to the side!"
The veterans and officers of the baggage corps shouted.
There were six or seven hundred people in the Ming army running here, and this Xuan army was originally stationed more than three miles away, and it must have taken a short time from the fight to the escape, and after they ran closer, almost everyone heard the gasp like a bull's roar.
With the exception of a few, most of them were bare-handed.
There were some cavalry running at the front of the line, and in the middle there was a big man in armor, who should be the guerrilla general who was guarding the town, surrounded by dozens of horseback Nedin and his own soldiers.
Hearing the roar, the guerrilla general began to turn to the right, and a large number of soldiers also turned and ran to the right, and while turning, a large number of people fell.
Wu Sangui had already come out of the pretentious curtain, and his family's inner diners had packed up their things, and everyone was on their horses, ready to flee at any time.
Seeing the appearance of the Ming army fleeing in embarrassment, many Wu Mansion and the ancestral family showed disdain, usually many people said that the Xuan soldiers were stronger than the Liao Zhen soldiers, and now it seems that where is the stronger what?
They didn't think about it, most of these Xuanfu soldiers were battalion soldiers who lacked training and equipment, and they were not serious Xuanda elite soldiers.
"The eldest prince," Nei Ding persuaded Wu Sangui, who was excited, "These people are the ones who escort the car and pull the car, they look like each other, I don't know how to fight if they really fight, for the sake of safety, let's go first." β
"What are you afraid of?" Wu Sangui's face is very white, he is not very old but not small, his eyebrows and eyes are also very handsome, and after a few years, he has the reputation of a young Tonghou, and everyone in the Beijing division knows that there is a handsome general in Liaozhen, and later he is even more famous after he became a general soldier, and many scholars and doctors know that Wu Sangui is handsome, courageous, and is a handsome, handsome and unstoppable general.
Wu Sangui vetoed the request of his subordinates to withdraw, and said quite calmly: "No matter how useless these people are, they are also neatly organized, even if they step down, they have to be built to fight well, and it will be too late for us to leave when the situation is not good." β
"The Great Prince"
The subordinates had to persuade again, Wu Sangui glanced at the other party, and said with an arrogant face: "Uncle has privately praised this and Yusheng's military training several times, and it is good to say that it is not necessarily better than Neiding." I'd love to see how strong these soldiers are. β
The defeated soldiers fled quickly to the left and right, and some still ran towards the fence and the front of the car, which they felt was closer, less effort, and had a better chance of escaping.
"Boom." Seeing this, Zhang Chunniu immediately said: "The first round is released to the sky, and those who dare to run forward will be killed directly." β
After a round of bangs, the fleeing Ming army knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly continued to run to both sides, and no one dared to send them to death in the front.
As soon as the sound of the gun sounded, as if a valve had been opened, the guards of the guns, whether they were soldiers or soldiers, all calmed down at once, and a feeling unique to the battlefield mastered their bodies, which was actually a feeling only experienced veterans, although the secretion of adrenaline was accelerated, it would not make them unbalanced, but only made them bolder, faster and stronger.
When the battle is over, everyone will be thirsty like a fire, and then there will be loss of strength, which is the sequelae of the battlefield, and every veteran knows it very well.
