It is true that it would be foolish for an awl made of sharp steel not to stab through the iron sheet on the other side, but to grind it from the edge by relying on its own hardness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

What Jian Chen wants to achieve is not only the victory of this battle, but also wants to tell the world through this battle: infantry who have been trained for several years can become the main force of the army.

In other words: samurai, nobles, feudal knights, good archers, chariot nobles, unproductive warriors, slave private soldiers, family soldiers, ...... All of this is no longer necessary for all the possible systems in which a few rule the battlefield, a few decide the outcome of a war, and the majority is regarded as a pig and a dog.

Before the advent of gunpowder, it could appear but it was difficult to maintain, and there was a natural gap in strength between people, and there was a gap in acquired training, eating meat or eating grass, and naturally there was a huge gap on the battlefield.

But no matter how strong a person is, he can't stop a direct shot of a buckshot.

It was not only the castles, the docks, the earthen enclosures, the armor of the Chinese calendar, and the polite temperament that the gunpowder exploded, but also the economic basis of all this, the violent basis of all formal and formal feudal land ownership—the tongue was useless.

The Spring and Autumn Period went to the Warring States Period, it was the rise of the infantry, smashing the chariot minister, whoever smashed the hardest will be the strongest, and whoever smashes first will get rich first.

So the ethnic groups of the previous life once again took a big step and pulled the egg: private ownership of land, allowing buying and selling, at least in form, this was the demand of the bourgeois revolution for the reform of the land system, but the productive forces were insufficient, and the bourgeois land system on the surface eventually became a feudal land system inside.

The precocious civilization is gratifying: before the realistic painting is understood, it moves towards the pursuit of the highest artistic conception of art; The meal may not be full, so we should first pursue a higher level of life value and self-realization; Simple narrative poetry did not reach its peak, so it first pursued poetry to describe people's joys, sorrows, sorrows, and feelings - you must know that words are all fish and sheep that have a physical substance first, so that they have the freshness of inner feelings; First there are big and fat sheep, and then there is the beauty that expresses inner feelings, transcends the physical meaning, and is related to deliciousness but not only delicious.

If a chariot, a knight, a handful of warriors, and a baturu can always be one against a hundred, then it is useless to say anything, because you can't beat it, and naturally there is no need for any change in the system.

Gunpowder, blast furnace iron, paper, printing, this is the real hectare aristocracy, the eternal lineage, theocratic interpretation, ideology, imprisoning thoughts, and so on.

As for how to use it, that's a human problem, but without these as a foundation, one of the best ways can't succeed. With it, it may be bad, it may be fighting, it may be darker for the time being, but one day it will usher in the light in continuous trying.

Before the population exceeds the capacity of the cultivated land, the violent soil for the survival of the feudal aristocracy should be destroyed, and the scientific detour should be guided, and perhaps the blood in the future can be shed a little less.

Because this is not only a battle of hegemony and unification, nor is it just a battle of whether the bloodline is sacred, to give a battle more political mission, and to fight, it also needs the demonstrator of the political mission as the protagonist.

Therefore, when the left wing of the Xia army showed its strength, using Su Yue's knowledge of the art of war to be convinced that the left wing was all the elite of the Xia army, and forced Su Yue to mobilize more foot archers to strengthen his right flank, Chen Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once transferred, it is not easy to come back.

Whether it is the black-clothed guard or the Yulin guard, it is indeed the elite of the Xia army, but it is not the force that dominates the battlefield, but the Suyue coalition army thinks that it is the force that dominates the battlefield.

On the left flank of the Xia army, this kind of feint attack under high pressure is still continuing, at least until the Suyue coalition army completes the mobilization, and if it doesn't hurt, Suyue can't make up his mind.

The remnants of more than 200 people of Yulinwei had already left within 300 paces of the battlefield, but relying on their own mobility still caused psychological pressure on the right flank of the Suyue coalition army, forcing them to use a thicker formation and more men to guard against the right flank of the cavalry cover.

The three small cannons were still shelling the increasingly dense Suyue coalition forces without delay, and the distance of three hundred steps was already a little more accurate, at least the iron ball could hit the center of the crowd.

The infantry was still advancing, and the two sides had come close to about a hundred paces, and the muskets and bows were finally ready to kill.

A sharp whistle blew, and the company commander of the arquebus company heard the meaning of the whistle and gave orders in a loud voice.

The whistle meant an offensive advance, not a defensive salvo.

The arquebusiers of the first platoon, listening to the orders of the company commander, checked the arquebuses one last time, stuck the heavy arquebuses on the propped wooden forks, and the arquebusiers in the back column walked to the side of the first platoon.

The feather arrows on the opposite side had already begun to be thrown, and the Dongyi archers who were constantly joining the battlefield were in front of the array, and they chose to throw with the feeling they had shot for many years.

Feather arrows continued to fall on the heads of the walking Xia spearmen, these light arrows were difficult to pierce the armor of the first row of soldiers, and the leather armor or heavy linen armor of the soldiers in the back row could withstand some of them, but they still caused dozens of casualties on the entire left flank.

The musketeer finally waited for the order to shoot, stuck his finger on the hook, and closed his eyes the moment he pulled the hook after aiming.

The fire rope fell into the primer pool, and after a violent flash and white smoke, the primer pool ignited the gunpowder in the chamber, and the heavy lead pellets flew out at several times the speed of the feather arrow.

The arquebusiers in the second row moved forward quickly, inserted wooden forks and shot buckshot, followed by alternate followers, and after the shots, the arquebusiers cleaned up the residue of gunpowder and continued to reload it with gunpowder and lead bullets according to the discipline.

The spearmen continued their advance amid the roar of muskets.

The wind blowing from the east blew the smoke away behind the musketeers, and did not interfere with their tedious reloading steps.

It's just that if you attack, the results are really few, one battalion plus two companies, and four arquebus companies took turns firing, killing a total of fifty or sixty enemies, which was neither shocking nor shocking, and it may not be as close as the dense bow and arrow killings on the opposite side, but because the dense array formed by the attack of Yu Linwei gave the artillery a good opportunity to play.

…………

When the left flank of the Xia army finally started, Su Yue's left flank was also moving forward, and the sound of those gunshots finally made Su Yue make up his mind.

The muskets on the left flank did not shock Su Yue at all, in Su Yue's opinion, this thing did make up for the weakness of the Xia army's archers, but it did not produce such a change as the chariot that affected the overall situation.

He held his trump card in his hand, an elite chariot. He didn't want to throw this trump card into the chaotic battle on the left flank of the Xia army, the shock chariot without enough space was just an elite infantry, and it couldn't exert the strength that the chariot should have, this should be a decisive force.

But now that the battle situation has become clear, in Su Yue's opinion, there will be no change, the Xia army has gambled all on the left flank, and the middle army and the right flank must be empty.

"Herald! The Chinese army turned to the flanks, supported the left and right, and the chariots were ready to attack! ”

After the order was issued, there was a change in the Suyue army, and the infantry in front of the original Chinese army quickly spread out to both sides and marched towards the left and right flanks of the Xia army.

In the middle, the elite force prepared by Su Yue was revealed, and eighty chariots also attacked the infantry on foot in large numbers.

It will take time for Su Yue's Chinese army to join the battle on the left and right flanks, and it will definitely take longer than the chariot impact; The left flank of the Xia army was already engaged with the right flank of the Suyue coalition army, even if there was the elite of the entire Xia army over there, once it was surrounded from the flank, it would inevitably be defeated.

In Su Yue's opinion, the Xia army has been defeated, and at this time it is the best time to dispatch chariots, and it is only necessary to crush Chen Jian's Chinese army and attack the left flank of the Xia army from the rear.

As for the right flank of the Xia army, since it was ready to delay the battle from the beginning, it was naturally a group of weak brigades, even if it was scorched or pushed back by the Xia army, the time to run from the right flank to the left flank to support was simply not enough.

Chen Jian at the other end of the battlefield naturally discovered the movement of Su Yue's army, and also saw that Su Yue was preparing to win a decisive blow, and such a difficult tactical action as a feint on the battlefield could not be done by the Su Yue coalition army at all, and the basic order was a one-time order.

"Herald! The remaining artillery of Lei Huowei was deployed at the junction of the Chinese army and the right army, allowing the right army to move forward quickly, keeping it level with the Chinese army, and preparing to counterattack! ”

The herald rode fast horses to pass down the order, and the drums flickered.

Lei Huowei quickly arranged the five three-pound copper cannons and more than ten one-pound small cannons of the main force in the gap between the company.

The spearmen of the dissatisfied battalion, who had not participated in the battle on the second line, quickly moved to the right flank in a column formation, while the musketeers all stepped forward and stood at the place where the chariots of the Chinese army Su Yue were ready to charge.

Chen Jian took a deep breath, there were no more troops available on both sides, and there was no strategy or movement on the battlefield at this time, the only thing that could be done was to see if the Xia Army, which was dominated by infantry, could withstand the impact of this wave of the strongest chariots of the era.

Up to now, there are more than a dozen heralds, more than 20 personal guards, plus drummers and fluteers left on Chen Jianjian's side, and he is still a little nervous in his heart, from the deception at the beginning to the use of the most elite Yulinwei black-clothed guards to lure, in the end, if he can't withstand the impact of this wave of chariots, everything is in vain.

There was no point in fighting in the distance, there was no difference between victory and defeat until the chariots rushed over, and the soldiers waited quietly for orders, listening to the flute playing meaningless tunes.

The reinforced musketeers were lined up in as dense formation as possible in the arquebus, in three rows, with the first half crouching, the second bending and the third standing upright.

All the arquebuses were in a state of readiness, and they knew that it would take a long time for them to fire a second shot, which was not a bow and arrow.

The soldiers of Lei Huowei listened to the order and loaded the cylindrical shells filled with small iron pellets contained in iron sheets and wooden boxes into the barrels, and those small cannons of more than a pound were also aimed at the positions of the Chinese army.

The drums on the opposite side sounded, the wooden wheels of the chariot dragged by the horses rolled on the grass, and on the chariot stood the noble priests or relatives of the various clans and towns, all of whom were brave warriors, wearing expensive Xia State iron armor and holding Dongyi bows or halberds.
