Chapter 385: Thunder strike formation, tit-for-tat

There are not many ways of war in any era. Even before the gap between the east and the west really widens, there is no difference between the imperial war on the entire Eurasian continent.

Those who want to see the kind of fancy and versatile war can only look for it in drama and literature. All battles are for killing and victory, and everything is for practical development. All methods of war have been chosen and tempered by countless practices, and they cannot tolerate any fancy things.

The snatch is used by the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo, and the snatch camp. Today, the Tartar troops are also used by the figurative description of the snatch is to push a standing door panel with sandbags hanging on the door panel, and behind it is a frame and wooden wheel, and someone pushes it behind it.

This sling car is a large shield that can be moved. Infantry can hide behind the sling car and rush up to attack after rushing to the opponent's infantry array.

The reason why this kind of clumsy and ridiculous weapon is that the firearms of this era have killing, but they do not have enough lethality.

With the shield of wooden boards and sandbags, they can withstand almost the same attack of firearms, and then rush to the opponent's formation to launch an attack. After all, even the Ming army who fires randomly outside the range, the firearms in their hands are powerful, and they can injure and kill people when they get close.

Moreover, the generals and soldiers of the Ming army may not be the kind of people who are anxious to face the enemy. If they are suppressed and beat them, they will be able to fight them, so these vans are very popular.

If you get close to hitting people, it may cause damage, but the quality and power of the firearms made by the semi-slave craftsmen are a joke. With this snatch as a defense, you can completely withstand it.

However, the chariot is now generally used to break through solid infantry formations. If the infantry platoon is well arranged, it will take a lot of effort to capture the cavalry. If you want to fight quickly, you will directly send infantry to push the chariot and crash directly into the opponent's local array, mess up the formation and defeat it.

The Ming army in front of them met all the conditions for using oars. In theory, this should be the one that was taken out after the final attack, but Abatai put the oars on the battlefield without hesitation.

Although the general Abatai was in his early fifties, his eyes were still very sharp. He could see that the artillery on the right wing of the Ming army was loading and unloading by more than a dozen artillery soldiers, and soon he was put on horses. Several horses easily dragged the artillery toward the center of the front line. The artillery, which was so powerful, could move so flexibly.

What does this heavy firepower mean so flexible? Abatai and the generals behind him naturally understood in their hearts what this situation meant. They understood in their hearts more clearly. Abatai said in their hearts:

"Transfer to Li Rui, attack everyone for half a future, add one for him. If the opponent is defeated, one for each person, he will have two!!"

Li Rui was the leader of the Sanshun King's army. It is said that he was also a guerrilla title in Ming Dynasty. This time, he led the Han army. He had half a future, and even two future achievements.

If anyone dared to give this reward to the Han people in normal times, someone would probably say, "Where did you put the rules of your ancestors?"

Even when the Mongolian army was given a future, the generals of the flag army behind were all unhappy, but this time no one made a sound. The fire gun just now shocked everyone and could be the leader. If they had not fought with the border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty several times, they would not be able to accumulate a future.

Everyone has seen the Ming army's firearms. It is completely different from the things in front of them. None of the Mongolian light cavalry who had just rushed to the battlefield has been getting up yet. This itself shows the problem. It shows that these Mongolians who may have faced the Ming army for the first time were not shocked by gunfire. This is a common occurrence for the cavalry who first went to the battlefield. They were prone to convulsions and falling to the ground by the sound and smoke.

However, looking at the posture in front of you, those people may be dead. Of course, those with good eyes and sharp eyes can also see those seriously injured or slightly injured who are not dead, crawling out of the pile of corpses, moving towards the formation, crawling and crying. In everyone's eyes, this is already dead.

Now everyone's attention is completely focused on the slowly unfolding array of oars in the central army, and the commanders quickly passed the orders to the Han army.

"Young and young men, the general promised the reward and rushed in to each of them for half a future, defeated the Hangou on the opposite side, and each of them had a future, and fought hard!!"

More than a dozen knights dressed in personal soldiers rode out on horseback and ran in the formation of roars and shouted. This was a really amazing reward, especially for these Han soldiers.

In the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, in addition to their status, people also divided the three or nine levels according to their ethnicity. The first level was naturally the Jurchens, the second level was Mongolia, and the third level was the Han people. Among the Han people, there were the Han Eight Banners, and the Sanshun King Xushun Gong, and the Han Eight Banners were the highest-ranking ones than the Sanshun King Xushun Gong.

During the previous battles, the troops of the Sanshun King Xushun Common rushed forward, and the infantry suffered more casualties than the cavalry. They were really suffering and exhausted and died first, and the military merits were rewarded later.

The same is true since entering Jielingkou. They took the lead in all kinds of chores, and it was not their turn to wash the city and looting. When they were transporting these looted materials, they had to work hard. In this army, even the North Korean musketeers looked down on them. It was so shameless.

Who would have thought that General Abatai today made such a reward? Everyone's eyes were red, and the speed of pushing the cart was a little faster.

The so-called dead soldiers are death-death soldiers. After all, they are not very safe places behind the van. Moreover, when rushing to the battlefield, they have to be the first to rush up and fight and kill. It is not that the soldiers with courage and ability cannot be appointed. According to the concept of this era, they must be veterans.

For the Manchu and Mongolian army, those who stood behind the chariots were infantry of the Han Eight Banners. These people stood in the back with shields and big swords, and stood indifferently. When they heard the promises to make a future, they were not as surprised as the soldiers of the Sanshun King. Many of the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners worked with the Tatars outside the pass during the Nurhaci period. Often, some of the Liaodong nobles surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they became members of the Han Eight Banners.

Their elite are no less than the soldiers of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, and their experience on the battlefield is even more so. Many soldiers of the Han Eight Banners have accumulated a lot of futures, and they are obviously not so tempted by this wish.

They stood here, one was to charge and the other was to serve as a supervising team. For the Qing Dynasty, the Sanshun King and the Han Eight Banners, which had long been Manchu, had to be distinguished and used, and the chariots rushed forward. No one dared to guarantee that there would be any chaos. If there was a chaos, the Han Eight Banners in the back would be the first to kill people.

However, the front and back teams pushing the cart were completely mobilized, and they shouted and shouted freely. After a little quiet, the drums began to roar.

The slalom was pushed out and the queue was arranged in front of the formation. It was slowly arranged in a row, and then the slalom behind it also came out, aligning in a row.

The clamoring place here, and the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Army opposite could also hear it clearly. General Zhao Nengben didn't feel anything when he saw the soldiers who were leaving the list. Who would have thought that when he opened his mouth, it was actually Chinese, and the land under the jurisdiction of Shandong Xingdusi was always under the jurisdiction of Shandong Xingdusi.

The Sanshun King's military troops were in Shandong for a long time. Of course, there was no problem with this accent, but the other party was shouting in Chinese. He was talking about a man. After hearing this, Zhao Neng and the generals around him were stunned at first, then had a fever on his face, and finally he was extremely angry.

At present, the number of Tartar troops is more than that of Dengzhou Army. Both sides encountered them during the march, and the army was full of troops and had no backup plans.

The formation of a large square formation is composed of a small square formation like Jiaozhou Camp. Although the team is thick, the front line is too short. The left, middle and right parts of the Qing Dynasty were much longer than those of the Dengzhou Army. The Dengzhou Army's front line is at most the same length as the central line of the Tatar army.

In other words, the formation of the Qing Dynasty could wrap around the three sides of the Dengzhou military and territory, but Abatai had a very accurate estimate of the strength of his troops, and his right wing might not have problems. However, the Han soldiers in the central army and the Mongolian soldiers in the left wing may not have such ability to attack.

If I really surround myself and fight, I look amazing, but I might be the one who suffers. And the light riding tests is also another way to test them.

Both sides set up camp in advance, trying to give each other a sudden attack, but they were dying and encountered in the thick fog halfway. They both lost the suddenness. They marched halfway, neither the people nor the horses received adjustments and rest, which was not the best state.

For the Dengzhou army, the Tartar soldiers and horses in front of them were too powerful, and for the Tartar soldiers and horses, the Ming army in front of them was too difficult to understand the details. Both sides had to test and give their soldiers a rest time.

There were more than twenty calves in a row, with each row being separated by more than ten steps, and they were slowly pushing forward. The large wooden shield hanging in front of the calves was higher than ordinary people. There was an observation hole in the middle. The soldiers behind naturally felt a sense of security, but the Dengzhou soldiers on the opposite side looked at the rows of calves pressing over, and the visual and psychological shock was really great.

Although it was flat ground, the sound of the wooden wheels of the slug trucks making such bumpy and bumpy bumps on the ground, hundreds of slug trucks were indeed amazing.

In addition to the motivating call just now, Jiaozhou Camp is just the order of the non-commissioned officers and officers constraining their formation and constantly making adjustments.

In the direction where the oars rushed over, the artillery of Jiaozhou Camp had already dragged over. The artillery soldiers drove the horses away with all their skills, and arranged the iron carts and gunpowder barrels and tools according to the Taoist script, and then quickly loaded the ammunition and prepared to fire.

The distance between the two armies is constantly approaching, and the chariots do not need to go as far as a mile. The generals of the Tatar army's main formation want to see the battle situation opposite.

There have been cases of war in the past. After the other party's relatively strict array was pushed out, he could not withstand the psychological pressure and collapsed while slowly pressing forward. I wonder if the Ming army on the opposite side would be like this.

The shield surface of the roar was too big, not only blocking the Ming army's sight, but also blocking the pathways of the Tatar soldiers and horses to observe the opposite side. As the commander of the first army, Abatai could not leave his position without his position, but Yue Le and Tan Tai were both sent by him to both sides of the front to observe.

If the Ming army's front shows signs of scattering or collapse, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry on both wings must follow the trend and attack completely.

But the wings were always very quiet. No one gave any orders. It seemed that the Ming army's front was really stable. Although the sun was rising, no one felt any warmth in this cold winter. Abatai, who was sitting on the horse, even felt a little cold on his legs, which were wrapped in good leather.

"I am indeed old!"

Abatai moved his legs and sighed in his heart. He defeated this Ming army and curled up this Tulichen. Maybe he could have a seat as a prince. At that time, his own team might be stable, and he would be rich and prosperous for generations of more than ten generations.

The lords pushed in the front were almost nearly two hundred steps away from the Dengzhou Army's front, and the trumpets shouted by the soldiers who pushed the lords began to slow down.

After reaching a certain distance, the hull cart will also speed up and rush to the formation. At this distance, you also need to accumulate physical strength. Move forward slowly and push the hull cart to rush forward. This is a labor-consuming task. You must now allocate your physical strength reasonably so that you won’t be able to keep up.

The infantrymen of the Eight Banners of Han untied the swords and shields tied to their backs and held them in their hands. They also had to prepare for battle.

A leader put the ground knife and shield in his hand on the frame of the oar truck, leaned forward flat, and lay down at the lookout hole and looked towards the opposite side. In order to avoid affecting speed, no one would climb to the lookout hole to look around. When approaching, the officer leader of the first row needed to decide the next move.

The lookout hole is a square hole the size of a palm. When the leader touched the ground, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. When the artillery of the Ming army opposite moved here from the corner of the right wing, it was quite difficult for the artillery to move in daily judgment and understanding.

The transportation of crude materials is not a big problem, but when shooting on the battlefield, digging holes, filling them, and nailing wooden clips, all of which are both troublesome and delaying time. At least during the period of time being driven by the snatch, the opponent's artillery cannot move over.

The leader of the Eight Banners of Han was so surprised. The direction he was facing was the cannon formation. He watched a man stab into the cannon with something.

There was a dull sound of "boom", and white smoke came out from the muzzle. Everything ended here...

Just behind the van, the Han Baqi infantrymen holding a knife and shield heard the muffled sound. They didn't know what was happening outside. They subconsciously arched their bodies and put the shield in front of them. Almost at this moment, they could see the heads of the leader lying there observing, shattering like watermelons.

Plasma, bone batter, and wood chips were sputtered everywhere in an instant. Even if the lorry with sandbags was placed, it would not be possible to block the bombardment of the three-pound cannon within this distance. As for the leader, he deserves to be unlucky. It is not that the cannon in Jiaozhou Camp was fired so accurately. It is certain that the cannon was definitely not aimed at the firing hole to open the fire.

The plasma and bones after the broken head are all easy to say, but after the sandbags and thick wood on the ground were smashed by metal balls with huge momentum, the high-speed splash of sand and stones and wood chips was fatal. Using the position hit by the shells as the basis point, a fan was formed behind this.

This effect was achieved from another form of solid bullets to kill the flowering bullets. The Han infantry holding the sword and shield were caught off guard and were beaten by splashed debris. The infantry behind the leader was even more unlucky. The shells continued to fly at high speed. The soldier still held the shield in front of him. How could he block it? He was directly penetrated into his body with a blood hole.

The artillery of the Dengzhou Army was so happy that even the practice of shooting on weekdays could not have such accuracy. There were so many snatches in front of them and such a large target could not be hit at such a close distance, so that the training would not be possible.

Every time the gun goes down, it will definitely be able to break a slalom. If you are lucky, you can break two. You can see the infantry hidden behind the slalom, screaming in a mess.

It's okay if the three-pound cannon is gone, and if the six-pound cannon is shot, there will be basically no standing people in the cart and the hidden infantry behind it. The pieces of wooden boards are even more of the killers of the human body.

In the first round of shooting, a hole was opened in the middle of the snatch array. The snatch in the back row was panicked. You could hear someone shouting loudly in Chinese with a weird voice:

"You can't retreat. The Qing Dynasty's military law is there. The retreating beheaded, and the family is the armored person as slaves. Keep rushing forward!!"

"They still need to load the second shot after the first shot, so they say this opportunity will rush forward!!"

After being broken up, the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who were lucky enough not to be affected by the splashed debris, regardless of hiding in the back row of shaking, all shouting and holding swords and shields to kill the artillery team. This was their only chance. They had already arrived in the enemy's formation. It was too late to run back.

Such a move seems brave, but for the Dengzhou army array, the soldiers who charge with a big sword and a shield were a dish delivered to their door.

The musket soldiers who were covering the cannon formation calmly raised the muskets and started firing at the chargers. No one survived as long as the Tartar soldiers exposed outside the van entered the range of the muskets.

The speed of the snatching carts was obviously faster. The soldiers of Sanshun, who were already scared and brave, had already taken out the charge to push the cart forward desperately. However, the second round of artillery shooting was much shorter than they thought. At present, Dengzhou military and local artillery shooting was no longer a volley or a wheel-fire. They just started shooting after loading ammunition. The array of snatching carts in front of them was dense and had large targets, so they didn't even need to aim.

The soldiers pushing the van and the soldiers behind the van thought that the safest place would be covered by this vehicle. Who would have thought that this would be dead?

It was really up to the order from Abatai - the dead soldiers. These soldiers were indeed difficult to survive. The shells kept falling down, smashing the lorry one after another. The various fragments after the lorry were broken caused various damages. The infantry behind the lorry were cramped in the narrow space between the lorry and the lorry. Apart from being baptized by the shells and being debris, they had no way to escape.

Many soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han were almost broken under such shooting. They didn't care whether they were hiding or not, but rushed out from behind the van and rushed towards this side regardless.

This change is the idea of ​​Jiaozhou Camp. After the first round of artillery attacks, the firearm commander in front had already increased the number of musket soldiers on this front.

Insanity, rushing around and running around, swords, shields, infantrymen. In front of the volley of musketeers, there is basically no possibility of hiding.

In this gap just now, all ten artillery pieces of the Dengzhou Army fired eleven rounds. This was a refreshing and free shooting. At first, I saw the vast squadron of chariots completely blocking my sight, but after the shelling was completed, the area facing the artillery team was completely opened.

Seeing the Tartar soldiers evade in a hurry and die in their own shooting, the Dengzhou army in Jiaozhou felt extremely happy, especially when they heard the group of Tartars who were supervising the battle and shouting in front of the array, they felt even more happy, and they were really relieved.

One goes up and the other goes down, you can imagine what kind of gloomy expression the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side will have on their faces. This idea makes people happy to think about it.

But the problem with the Dengzhou Army was that they had too little experience on the battlefield. Although eleven rounds of intensive artillery bombardment had caused great results, after eleven rounds, a soldier put into the cannon chamber with a mop dipped in water. When he was about to clean it, he found that the mop stained with water actually smoked.

It is conceivable that the high temperature in the barrel is like. The water-stuck mop originally had the effect of cooling down, but after being dragged back and forth several times, the wet mop turned black. It was obvious that the temperature of the barrel was too high. All the ten guns found similar problems. The barrels of several three-pound guns were already red.

If it is the troops of the Huaiyang Army and the Qingzhou Army, the shooting gap of the artillery will be intentionally lengthened, so that although the density is a little less, it can maintain continuous launch for a longer period of time.

The artillery stopped, and the remaining chariots barely formed three fronts and were still rushing towards this side. Only now did they know why the general was ordered to promise such a high reward for such a high future.

Looking at the snatching vehicles entering the range, the artillery soldiers were still crazily cooling the barrels. The muskets could no longer help but fire, but the projectiles shot from the muskets hit the sandbags on thick wood would not cause any damage at all, and they could not stop the momentum of the snatching vehicles from advancing.

"The spear team moves forward, the artillery team, and the muskets retreat!!"
Chapter completed!
