330 Battle of Jiazhuang (7)

(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!) ）

Don't look at the fact that there are only a thousand or so people left in Duoduo's hands in front of him, but now they are all like red-eyed wild boars, and they are truly fearless to death.

Such a team that is not afraid of death and has extremely strong combat effectiveness is the most terrifying.

Moreover, there are many Tartars near Jiazhuang around, and it is estimated that they will come to the rescue soon, and in such a short period of time, Li Zixiao is not sure that he will completely eat the Tartar soldiers under Duoduo.

Not to mention, it is almost impossible to capture the prince of the Tartars alive.

You must know that the Ming army has fought with the Tartars for so many years, not to mention the Tartar prince and Baylor, even if they have not even captured a Tartar Niulu or Jiala.

Although Duoduo was determined not to retreat, he was ready to fight the White Dragon Army.

But after the experience of the eight hundred Tartars just now, he will not let his subordinates be stupid now, and rush up against the White Dragon Army.

In fact, Duoduo saw at a glance the flaw of the White Dragon Army's phalanx, that is, the lack of flexibility and the lack of initiative.

As long as a force is divided to contain them in front and outflank them on both sides, they can easily get close to their formation.

If Duoduo had known the details of the White Dragon Army like Abatai before, he would not have suffered such a big loss, but in the end, the Tartars still suffered a loss of arrogance.

Duoduo saw the shortcomings of the White Dragon Army's phalanx, why didn't Li Zixiao know it, if it weren't for this time, he wouldn't have placed the cavalry led by Qi Wei and Luo Chao on the two wings of his phalanx.

Moreover, Li Zixiao knew that at this time, the Tartars in Duoduo's hands were all foot soldiers, and there were not many cavalry at all, so even if the Tartars saw the shortcomings of their formation, they were helpless.

The two wings of the White Dragon Army's formation were each protected by nearly six hundred cavalry, and if these Tartar foot soldiers wanted to outflank the two wings of the White Dragon Army, they would inevitably suffer from the cavalry's blows.

In such a wilderness, attacking cavalry with foot soldiers was undoubtedly suicidal, and Dodor knew it.

"Damn, I wish I had a thousand cavalry on my hands now."

Duoduo scolded unwillingly, even if he found out the flaws in the formation of the White Dragon Army at this time, Duoduo was embarrassed to find that he had no cavalry in his hands.

"Kong Youde, I will gather all the shield carts and shields and send them to your soldiers and let them rush forward."

In the end, Duoduo had no choice but to hope that he would break into the phalanx of the White Dragon Army from the front, and at this time, the Han army's clothed minions under Kong Youde could be used.

Kong Youde seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and at this time, he did not dare to disobey Duoduo's order, and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Wang, I will go down and arrange it." ”

Anyway, it was not he Kong Youde who rushed into battle to kill, but his subordinates, who were soldiers.

Although Kong Youde was also very distressed, knowing that these subordinates rushed forward, it was estimated that not many would survive.

But since Dord's order had been given, he could only do it, otherwise he would be able to behead him at any time if he disobeyed the order before the war.

Anyway, after these subordinates wait for him to go back, the Tartars will select a new batch of young men from the prisoners in the pass to replenish him, and these mud legs will die if they die, anyway, the Ming Dynasty has.

This time, Duoduo was much more prepared, and equipped the shield chariots and shields that were originally used to attack Jiazhuang Lu Xiangsheng to Kong Youde's more than 700 men.

Let them rush to the front, resist the White Dragon Army's bird-screws first, and clear the way for the Tartar soldiers who follow behind.

"All listen to this king, and then rush forward, for every Ming dog killed, this king will reward three taels of silver, who can kill that Li Zixiao, this king will reward him with one hundred taels of gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels. Kill! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Duoduo raised his long knife to boost morale, and immediately caused more than 800 Tartars to cry wildly.

As for the 700 or so Han soldiers who were assigned shield carts and shields and were ready to rush to the front, they were not as excited as the Tartars, but were lifeless.

Because what they received this time was a death life, and they also saw the tragic situation of the 800 Tartars charging just now, and the corpses that fell all over the ground.

But they had no choice but to obey Kong Youde's orders, and one by one they unwillingly pushed the shield cart, holding the shield, and forced towards the White Dragon Army.

They tried their best to shrink their bodies behind the shield cart and shield to protect them, and the power of the White Dragon Army Bird Gun had already frightened them.

"Haha, brothers, the head of the Tartar is worth a lot, so I won't talk about it.

This time, if anyone can capture the Tartar prince wearing red armor and white trim on the opposite side to Lao Tzu alive, Lao Tzu will reward him with gold and white taels, and the official will be promoted to one level. ”

Li Zixiao also heard Duoduo's shouting in the distance at this time, and immediately shouted at the white dragon sergeant to boost morale.

"General, if I accidentally stone the dog Tartar prince to death and cut off his head, how much gold can I exchange for, it's too troublesome to catch a big living person, it's still convenient to carry a head."

After hearing Li Zixiao's words, Quartz on the side asked, which immediately caused Li Zixiao and a group of soldiers around him to laugh.

"Stone, if you can carry his head to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not only not reward you, but will punish you severely, remember."

A dead Tartar prince will not only not bring Li Zixiao any benefits, but will make the Tartar completely crazy and chase him endlessly.

The living Tartar generals are useful, so that the Tartars will not dare to attack them, so Li Zixiao said so. 、

At this time, the White Dragon Army and Duoduo were only about two hundred steps apart, and when Li Zixiao and the others spoke, they probably shouted loudly.

Therefore, the conversation between Li Zixiao and Quartz just now could be heard by all Duoduo on the other side, which made Duoduo even more angry.

"Attack, rush, kill all these bright dogs for this king!"

Dodor yelled angrily at his men.

As a result, more than 1,500 Tartar soldiers, led by the Zhenghongqi Han Army under more than 700 Kong Youde in front, and 800 Tartars with white flags led by Duoduo in the back, also slowly pressed towards the White Dragon Army.

Bang Bang Bang ......

In the deafening sound of gunfire and the smoke of gunpowder, the Tartar soldiers who rushed to the front soon fell in large numbers.

It's just that this time, these Kong Youde's Red Banner Han Army are all prepared, pushing shield carts and big shields, and their casualties are much less than the eight hundred Tartars before.

But even so, under the bombardment of the first round of Tiger Squat Cannon and Furlong Machine Cannon, several shield carts were still scattered, and more than a dozen soldiers holding large shields were hit head-on and flew out.

The Tartar soldiers who followed behind these Red Banner Han troops had only scattered soldiers who were shot, but as the two sides gradually got closer and closer.

The soldiers of the Han army who rushed to the front were killed and wounded, and the Tartar soldiers behind were exposed, and it was the turn of these Tartar soldiers to bear the firepower.

Seeing his soldiers fall like this, Duoduo only felt as if his heart had been cut with a blunt knife.

The soldiers and horses under his command are all elites with white flags, can they just let the Ming army be destroyed like a target?

Duoduo's disadvantages, not only Duoduo saw it, but at this time, Lu Xiangsheng in Jiazhuang, the nominal commander of the Ming army, could also see it clearly, and at the same time, he was in a good mood.

Duoduo was also ruthless enough, and sacrificed more than 700 Kong Youde's men in front of him, so that the Tartars behind could break through to the front of the White Dragon Army.

When the Tartars rushed to the distance of twenty steps in front of the White Dragon Army's formation, seeing such a scene, Li Zixiao did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered all the bird soldiers who were fighting happily to retreat to the back.

Front, spearmen and sword and shield soldiers were on top, and the Tartars who rushed up in melee combat, this primitive collision was the most tragic.

Fortunately, the formation of the White Dragon Army is tight, so that the advantage of the Tartar field battle cannot be easily brought into play.

At this time, there were about a thousand Tartar soldiers who rushed to the front of the White Dragon Army, most of them were Tartar infantry armor and horse armor with white flags inlaid behind, as well as a small number of white armor soldiers.

As for the 700 or so Kong Youde's men who rushed to the front as cannon fodder, they were almost dead, and there were more than 100 people left.

On the side of the White Dragon Army, in addition to Li Zixiao's retreating 1,000 birds, there are also cavalry battalions that roam on both wings and monitor the surrounding situation.

The soldiers who were really able to fight with the last remaining 1,000 Tartars of Dordor barely reached 2,000 men, and the number of both sides was two to one.

At the same time, the morale of both sides was high, the White Dragon Army won consecutive victories, and the Tartar side went crazy because of Li Zixiao's previous anger, ignoring death.

This is a battle of guts, blood and courage, but fortunately, the White Dragon Army still maintains a tight formation, with sword and shield soldiers in front and pikemen in the back.

As long as the formation does not disperse, in this kind of group battle of thousands of people, the White Dragon Army still has the advantage.

Knock knock knock......

"Kill!"

The Tartars who pounced on them first encountered the large shield wall more than one meter high, and the Tartars who rushed in front of them slashed with knives and guns, but to no avail.

Puff puff......

At this time, the pikemen hiding behind the sword and shield soldiers took advantage of the gaps exposed by the sword and shield soldiers to stab the spears out, piercing the tartars that were hitting the shields.

In ancient times, on the real battlefield of cold weapons, it was not like what everyone saw in the film and television works of later generations in China, two people danced around with two knives, and they couldn't kill a person in half a day.

That's purely the brain-dead director's obscenity, but some Western film and television works show the ancient cold weapon battlefield, which is more realistic.

In ancient times, the most important thing was courage and guts, as for the skill, it was actually secondary, and the cavalry had much higher requirements for skill than the footmen.

The infantry fights are basically all together, shields, slashes, axes, spears, the front falls, the back pounces, the side is cowardly and defeated first, and the other side loses.

This is the real cold weapon foot fight, people are all huddled together to fight, and there are so many skills for you to use.

The reason why the Tatars are called 'invincible in the field' is mainly to rely on cavalry, and the Tatar cavalry is indeed powerful, which is related to the environment in which they live.

In terms of foot soldiers, their equipment is better than that of the Ming army, and the courage and courage of the soldiers are higher than that of the Ming army, and they are not afraid of death, so the Ming army will be repeatedly defeated in the field.

This has to make people sigh, it is clear that there is not only a shortage of iron outside the Tartar Pass, but also a shortage of skilled blacksmiths, otherwise the Tartars would not have smuggled iron and salt from the customs at a high price, feeding a large group of unconscionable merchants.

They will not repeatedly enter the customs to rob people and money, and among these people, the most concerned by the Tartars are those skilled craftsmen.

At this time, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty all lived the life of inferior people, with no clothes and no food, which was a problem with the system.

The Tartars used the looted wealth to purchase iron materials from the merchants in the Guannai, and let the looted blacksmiths create sophisticated armor and weapons, and then attack the Ming Dynasty.

This is simply a dead cycle, if it goes on like this, even if the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the Tartars, it won't be long before the Tartars will be defeated sooner or later.

It can only be said that at this time, the hearts of the Ming Dynasty were turned against their backs, and the inaction of the imperial court led to too many traitors, and some profiteers and villains who worked for the Tartars behind their backs could still obtain a high status and luxury in the Ming Dynasty.

And those Ming soldiers and generals who worked desperately to resist the Tartars did not get the treatment they deserved.

They can't eat enough, because the imperial court can't pay military salaries, coupled with the layers of exploitation by their superiors, the weapons in their hands are rusty and rusty, their armor has not been changed for more than ten years, and the soldiers have not been trained for several years.

Because the training is very hard, the soldiers will be tired, there will be no military food and no salary, who wants to starve and train, that will kill people.

This led to the fact that the equipment of the Ming army was not as good as that of the Tartars, the training was not as good as the Tartars, and the soldiers could not be compared with the Tartars in terms of courage.

Because they are afraid of death, they are afraid that after death, their wives and children will have no one to support them, so the Ming army will be defeated in every battle over the years.

The Ming Dynasty, which has tens of millions of land and hundreds of millions of people, can't afford to support a mere million troops, so that those soldiers shed blood and tears, but they fattened a ** villain.

This is the biggest drawback left by the Ming ancestral system at this time.

It's a pity that Chongzhen has the intention to change the ancestral system, but he has been repeatedly opposed by all ministers, because those ministers themselves are vested interests.

It's as if a traitor said in private, anyway, it's your Zhu family's world that will die, even if the Tartars come, they still have to use us to govern the world, and we still enjoy glory and wealth.

All this, you can't blame Chongzhen for not being a good emperor, he did much better than most half-emperors in history, but he died at the wrong time and took over a hopeless mess.

A group of pig teammates around Chongzhen didn't help Chongzhen, and they also pulled Chongzhen's hind legs, even if Li Zixiao was replaced in Chongzhen's position at this time, he would look at the sky and sigh.

And all this is not a problem for the White Dragon Army at this time.

Li Zixiao spent two whole years to lay an incomparably good foundation for the White Dragon Army, and he spent a full hundred thousand silver for the placement of soldiers.

Regardless of whether it is the resettlement of wounded soldiers, while placing them in some grass-roots positions, they can still receive a certain amount of disability allowance every month, so that they can continue to have the ability to support their families.

There are also the fallen soldiers of the White Dragon Army, whose families can not only get a large amount of death pensions.

Moreover, Li Zixiao also asked Qian Guangyuan to give priority to the families of those fallen soldiers and arrange a job.

At the same time, Li Zixiao vigorously promoted the status of the White Dragon Army in his territory, and even meritorious soldiers could enjoy unique privileges.

Although the implementation of these measures is currently limited to one county, it still has achieved good results.

Therefore, at this time, when the soldiers of the White Dragon Army were fighting in close combat with the Tartar soldiers, none of them retreated, none of them were timid, and the teammates in front were killed, and the soldiers in the back would step on the corpses of their comrades.

Because, they are not worried that after they die in battle, their wives and children will starve to death, but if they become deserters.

After being found out, not only will the land assigned to them by the White Dragon Army be repossessed, but the whole army will be driven out of the territory of the White Dragon Army.

This is what Li Zixiao often said to his subordinates, I have given you the rights and interests you deserve, so you must also faithfully perform your duties.
