Chapter 1054: Failed (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Some parts of the country in the Ming Dynasty are very strange, especially since the middle and late periods, the army has degenerated to a mess, and the entire military system has been completely eroded. (Cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say') -.. - Foreign wars, repeated defeats, except for the three major campaigns of Wanli, there are few bright spots.
But externally, it is unusually tough, never compromised, and once compromised, it is an absolute political mistake.
The farming people of the Central Plains are extremely wary of their northern grassland neighbors, and they implement a policy of closing the country and strictly prohibiting the export of ironware, salt, gunpowder, grain, and other bulk goods related to the national economy and people's livelihood to the grasslands.
Therefore, the steppe people have always been short of iron, and the weapons of the 'Mongolian' ancient soldiers are also extremely bad
。 It is almost impossible for the Ming and Qing armies to be armed to the teeth with iron armor and armed to the teeth. This is also the direct reason why the ancients of 'Mongolia' were beaten into pig's heads by Huangtaiji, and until now, there are still many arrows of 'Mongolian' ancient soldiers made of cow bones.
As soon as they heard that the spoils of war could be at their disposal, everyone shouted with joy: "Nikan, be heroic! ”
"The enemy's Chinese army is 'handed over' to me, and no one should rob me!"
"'Bastard' account, the Chinese army is Lao Tzu, you Horqin want to take all the good things, how can you be so domineering in the world?"
Everyone aimed at the Yuanzi battalion in the middle of the enemy formation opposite, where the metal flashes were the brightest, making people drool.
Everyone picked the most 'fatty' piece of 'meat' to gnaw, but they didn't expect that so many people died last night because of the enemy in front of them. If you rush forward, you don't know how many people will die.
The composition of the Nikan tribe is complex, and many tribes and ethnic groups have enmity and look at each other unpleasantly. The army defeated yesterday not only failed to arouse the vigilance of others, but also had a sense of schadenfreude: it was so incompetent, it was a soft, and it couldn't even kill people. If you want to win this battle, you have to look at Lao Tzu.
Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Nikan shouted: "Shut up! Rest assured, everyone has a share of the spoils of this battle, and I will distribute them to you according to the size of the head and merit, and there will be no such thing as someone eating 'meat' and someone drinking soup. You are all quiet, and you want to think about how this battle should be fought, and listen to my arrangement. Judging by last night's encounter, the enemy's firearms were sharp, and many suffered from the enemy's artillery and muskets. I've heard people say that Sun Yuan's spear musket formation is very difficult to deal with. However, the enemy is mostly infantry, and the infantry moves slowly, and it is not easy to change formations, and our side is basically 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry. Wait a minute, the 'Mongolian' and ancient armies will mount their horses at the same time and press me up, and the armies and horses will follow. Remember, move quickly, the enemy has too many muskets, and if you don't rush into their formation as soon as possible, you will become a live target. As long as our cavalry comes into contact with the enemy, it will be considered a victory. ”
"The order of the various armies is dispatched, echoing each other, don't be 'chaotic', don't be afraid!"
Commanders-in-chief: "Nikan is right, let's listen to you." ”
"Go down and control the troops, and then attack after listening to my orders."
"Yes!" At the same time, they rode back to their camp.
In less than half an hour, the Qing army and the Ningxiang army had reorganized their troops
。
On the opposite side, the Ningxiang army had a long horn blowing, and the troops moved with a bang, and a huge tofu block with a forest of spears took shape.
At the same time, the Qing army's 'fierce' war drums were beating, and a group of cavalry rushed out, followed by another team, and then a third team, like flowing water.
The battle unfolded with shouts and the sound of thunderous horses' hooves.
"Cavalry charge, savage, impudent and effective." Sun Yuan looked at the enemy cavalry in front of him and nodded: "Take the lead and take the lead, Nikan's tactics are no different from those of other generals in Jiannu!" ”
Beside Sun Yuan, Tang Wenxing, who had always been expressionless, arched his hand, his face was full of fighting intent: "Master Hou, if you talk about cavalry battles, you have to look at our cavalry army." Read the full text of the latest chapterSince General Xu Da's northern expedition, there has been no qualified cavalry in 'Mongolia' Gu. Let the last general go up, and give Jiannu a little bit of power. ”
Sun Yuan shook his head: "There's no need, this is just a simple battle, since it can be solved simply, why bother with that, don't worry." ”
"Yes, Master Hou." Tang Wenxing responded, but his expression was unwilling.
As soon as the Yuanzi Battalion and the Ningxiang Army Headquarters arrived at Shao Bozhen to join him, and the battle began, Shimazu Kazuo and Li Ju came to Sun Yuan's Chinese army flag, watched the battle side by side, and 'handed over' the command of their own team to Sun Hou.
Kazuo Shimazu seemed to have seen the combat effectiveness of the Ningxiang Army before, and he bowed to Sun Yuanzi. Li Ju had only seen the warships of the Ningxiang Naval Division, and in his opinion, there were too many ships in Yangzhou Town, and he was too rich. As for the Ningxiang Army Army operation, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
Although Kazuo Shimazu compared the Ningxiang Army to a heavenly general, Prince Li still had some doubts, after all, the navy and the army are two different things. If the army of the Ming Dynasty was really so capable of fighting, it would be impossible for even the capital to be occupied by thieves, and by now most of the country has fallen.
Of course, the equipment of the Ningxiang Army is too good, but what does this mean? It can only be said that Sun Yuan is too rich. But throughout the ages, it has always been the poor barbarism that destroyed the rich civilization. It can be seen that the richer this person is, the more he cannot fight.
Now, seeing the enemy army galloping in front of him, Li Ju felt his heart beating hard, and his mouth was full of bitter taste. When Jiannu destroyed North Korea, wasn't it the overwhelming trend of Mount Tai in front of him
。 In an instant, that terrible memory came back to his heart, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and muttered: "'Meng' ancient cavalry...... There are too many war horses...... How is this good, how is it good......"
Cavalry is equivalent to the armored troops of the Cold Weapons War, and has a natural advantage over ordinary infantry. Under this thunderous onslaught, no matter how many of your men there are, as soon as the enemy's horses run, it is not good that your infantry will collapse due to fear.
At this time, Li Ju saw that his North Korean battalion had been in a 'commotion'.
"Hehe, even if there are more war horses, I'm afraid that there won't be enough horses in Jiannu. After this battle, maybe we will thank Hou Ye for his reward, and our Shimazu United can also form a cavalry. Next to him, Kazuo Shimazu couldn't help but glance at Li Ju with disdain, there was a kind of meaning that people in the city looked at the countryman. Compared with the Korean battalion, the Shimazu Wing has seen the world and knows the strength of the Ningxiang Army.
Today, the ratio of forces between the enemy and us is one to one, and with the combat effectiveness of the Ningxiang Army, it is not a problem to destroy the Nikan Army.
In addition, there is a habit of obeying the strong in the national 'nature' of the Japanese Korko, and all the soldiers of the Shimazu Wing stand there quietly with muskets and pheasants like the Motozi battalion, with expressionless faces.
The Japanese and Koreans are natural enemies, especially after Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered Konishi Yukinaga to invade the Korean Peninsula, both sides were angry. Therefore, even if they are both servant troops in Yangzhou Town, the Shimazu Wing and the Korean Battalion do not like each other, and they don't know how many fights they have fought in private.
Hearing the sarcasm in Shimazu Kazuo's mouth, Prince Li's face was difficult to look at, and he raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when Sun Yuan suddenly smiled: "Kazuo, your surname is Shimazu, the strength of the Kyushu Island samurai is iron cannon, you are not surnamed Takeda." ”
Kazuo Shimazu bowed slightly: "Who would think that his strength is strong." ”
"However, if the Shimazu United team has made meritorious achievements, it will not be a matter for you to form a red reserve cavalry."
Kazuo Shimazu had a burst of ecstasy on his face: "Thank you, Master Hou." ”
"However, today, I'm afraid I won't be able to 'get' many war horses?"
"But why?" At this time, not only Kazuo Shimazu, but even Li Ju couldn't help but ask curiously.
Sun Yuan didn't answer, and waved his hand: "Tell Pablo to prepare." "The four battalions of the Ningxiang Army all have their own artillery units, and in addition, the army also has artillery battalions directly under it
。 If Nikan is better off against other battalions, this time he is unlucky to meet my Sun Yuan, and blame him for his bad life, let him see what unprecedented firepower is!
"Yes, my lord!" Next to Sun Yuan, the minibus nodded and sent a signal to the front.
Before the Yuanzi battalion formation, several artillerymen set up a very strange instrument, which was that they were measuring the distance, using the triangulation ranging method. These soldiers had all worked as buddies in the tent before, and they were very sensitive to numbers and had good mental arithmetic skills.
Moreover, they all have a characteristic, they are very tall, all over 1.70 meters, standing in front of the formation, standing like a 'chicken' flock in a group of short soldiers.
Immediately, an artillery rangefinder carried two small red 'color' pennants, turned around, and waved the flag at the Chinese army.
Sun Yuan couldn't understand what they were talking about, as the commander of the first army, he didn't need to memorize every flag, anyway, there were professionals under him.
A herald beside him said loudly: "Report to the commander, the enemy's cavalry target Yuanzi Battalion is 800 meters away from our army, and it is about to enter the range of the eight-pounder gun, please instruct!" ”
The maximum 'firing' range of the eight-pounder gun's solid shell is 800 meters, and this distance is not lethal to fire. However, the enemy's cavalry came too quickly and would soon come within the range of artillery fire.
From the formation to the present, Sun Yuan's gaze has always fallen on the Jiannu Great Array opposite. At this time, he suddenly looked back at the artillery position in front of him, where more than forty Napoleon bronze cannons of various sizes were neatly placed, and more than five hundred artillerymen and two hundred horses used to pull the cannons were waiting in line.
The brazier used to light the fire was already burned red, and the char inside was dazzlingly red, and a drizzle of rain was falling, freeing up a white 'colored' mist.
The trolleys unloaded to the side were full of wooden boxes, and there was no need to ask, they were full of shells.
Sun Yuan: "Use solid bullets to hit a few rounds to frustrate the enemy's spirit and encourage our troops." ”
"Yes!" The herald rushed forward and shouted an order to the artillerymen: "Eight-pounder gun, one solid shell, ready!" ”
Pablo also arrived at the artillery position and began to direct the troops, he shouted loudly: "Seven hundred, lower the muzzle, prepare, prepare!" ”
Ten 'eight-pounder bronze cannons' moved their heavy and thick barrels little by little under the gunner's rapidly turning cranks, and beside the cannons two artillerymen held a wooden instrument in the air, squinting their left eye and the right eye for a while
。
"Six hundred!"
"Five hundred meters!"
……
The range-measuring artillerymen kept shouting, and the numbers came up like flowing water.
Five hundred meters is a long way away, and the enemy cavalry that is charging looks like countless small black dots, and it is not even clear what armor and clothes they are wearing. However, everyone knew that the enemy's cavalry was coming too quickly, and this was a matter of moments.
500 meters, that is, a little more than a lap of a standard stadium, even if it is a human run, it will take two or three minutes. As far as Sun Yuan knows, the national record is less than a minute.
What's more, the enemies are all war horses. I'm afraid that this time will be shortened by a few seconds.
He was not worried about the soldiers of the Yuanzi battalion, these veteran soldiers who had been in battle for a long time had already been able to face the enemy's overwhelming charge, calmly 'shoot' the ammunition of the musket in their hands, and then calmly reloaded.
But what will happen to the Japanese army and the Korean soldiers, he is not very sure in his heart.
I couldn't help but glance at the two wings of the Yuanzi battalion's large phalanx, but I was taken aback, and the soldiers and horses of the two battalions were in a commotion. It's just that the performance of the Shimadzu wing and the Korean battalion varied.
The Japanese slaves of the Shimazu Wing were all 'excited' in the group, and there were already little devils waving the Japanese swords in their hands and rushing forward, wanting to attack the enemy with a 'jade' crush.
The national 'sex' of the devils is very strange, and for the strong, they are completely obedient and worshipped. treats the weak, but it is cruel and ruthless. Last night, with muskets and cannons, they fought all night, until the corpses of the enemy filled the small river. In that battle, the Japanese slaves completely beat their morale and became arrogant and arrogant. They were utterly contemptuous of the enemy, believing that it was really nothing of a great deal, and that they might be able to take it down with a single charge.
But they don't want to think about how short they are, what is the situation when they encounter the 'Meng' ancient cavalry riding a tall horse, isn't that a death? Of course, the little devil was so fierce, which still made Sun Yuan very pleased.
The officer of the Devil's Wing was not stupid, and immediately shouted loudly, and finally barely suppressed the 'desire' of his subordinates to rush and kill
。
As for the North Korean battalion, the performance was really not ideal. Last night's battle was fought by the musketeers of the Shimazu Wing, who acted as spectators from the beginning. Later, when he saw that the enemy was unable to retreat, he went out to pick up the cheap. In fact, no one knows better than them what kind of goods they are. Already North Korean soldiers dressed in white 'colored' filial piety uniforms began to retreat, and then they were whipped by the officers and screamed, and the phalanx began to 'commotion'.
"This bunch of pig teammates!" Sun Yuan couldn't help but 'touch' his forehead: "I really don't know what use these North Koreans can come in on the battlefield?" ”
Seeing that Sun Yuan's face was pale, Li Ju's face was pale, and he was about to give an order for his officers to be suppressed.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, "Boom! There was a loud bang, and the whole world seemed to tremble violently.
The 'flesh' was visible to the eye, and in the huge sound 'wave', a rain curtain as thin as a cow's hair' spread out from the surroundings of the artillery position.
The whole world was filled with the sound of cannons, and the horses neighed and raised their front hooves.
In an instant, Prince Li's mouth was filled with the rushing rain, his ears were full of buzzing echoes, and his head was dizzy.
Ten 'large' massive eight-pounder bronze cannons opened fire at the same time, and thick white smoke erupted from the barrels and then filled the position.
A black 'colored' solid cannonball came into the air, and at this time, Li Ju regained his sense of hearing. He never expected the sound of large-caliber heavy artillery shells to break through the air so eerie and so chilling.
The sky seemed to be a torn linen, and the sharp sound of breaking the air made the 'chicken' bumps explode all over the body.
"All of them!" The shell landed, but it landed in the open space between the two armies and did not hit the target.
Li Ju couldn't help but exclaim: "It's a pity! ”
It's a pity, it's a pity. How did the artillery of the Ningxiang Army do it, it was a range measurement and a number report before, and it was a troublesome matter, but the result was a failure, didn't this damage the morale of our army in vain?
This is the ability of the famous Ningxiang Army, impossible, right?
