Chapter 168 North Look 5

The rain of arrows swept over the sky like a storm, as if it was wrapped in the strong north wind of Tungus, covering the forefront of the Ming army almost instantly.

The square formations in the front row of the Ming army were all organized with long spear formations. When the Qing army archers began to gather before, the front row of the archers quickly made targets and further adjusted the formation. Eight long players from four teams were in front, and the long spearmen remained in place, while the half-armored firearm team lined up and squatted behind the long players to avoid as much damage as possible in the Qing army's bows and arrows.

The first round of arrow rain shot the square formation in the front row of the Ming army into a hedgehog in just one moment. Almost every front row of Ming army's armor was nailed with arrows, just like the land on the side of the formation. However, more arrows were jumped around after shooting the Ming army's iron armor. After a moment, there were only a few that really fell down. The Ming army's iron armor infantry wearing heavy armor still maintained the tactical movements used to avoid arrow shooting.

After the first round of shooting, the Qing army picked up bows and arrows again, waiting for their next life, while the Ming army was silent. Apart from a limited number of deliberate pain, it seemed that in the area where the Qing army was less than a hundred steps, it was not an army of flesh and blood in line. Instead, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Emperor walked out of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and arrived here thousands of miles away to fight to the death with the biggest enemy in China.

The shooting effect of this round did not seem to be satisfactory. The second and third rounds of the Qing army's shooting followed one after another. However, the more the Qing army's infantry archers shot, the more numb their scalp they were. It was not that the bow and archery consumed their physical strength, but that the Ming army, which had become a target, was still in the same shape. After each round of shooting, there were few people who fell down, but they were like hedgehogs.

Such a fast shooting caused great physical strength to be damaged. After several rounds of shooting, the Qing army temporarily stopped. The thunder in the north was getting closer and closer, but at this moment, the sound of swallowing saliva was rising and falling on the Qing army's battle formation. Although no one spoke, the faces of these Qing soldiers were full of these four big words of incredible.

This way, he pulled the bow and shot, and he didn't even have a minute after several rounds. The next second, the breeze blew, and the Terracotta Warriors regained their vitality. As the Ming army's armored infantry adjusted their tactical movements, many arrows nailed to the armor and long cards also landed on the ground.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that although these arrows hit the Ming army's armor, most of them have very poor armor-breaking effects. The front end of the arrow slightly breaks the surface of the armor leaf. As long as there is a slight vibration, the arrow will be shaken down. Obviously, it is impossible to break the armor leaf at all, and thus cause effective damage to the human body wrapped in the armor!

The shield chariot covered the infantry's advance to avoid the killing of the Ming army's bird guns and tiger squat cannons. After entering the range of the insurgent bow, the Qing army used the infant archers and cavalry archers to shoot behind the shield chariot until the Ming army's battle formation was broken and then rushed up to enter hand-to-hand combat.

This kind of tactics was used too many times in Liaodong. Even in the era of Huang Taiji, when the predecessor of the Han army flag, the Han flag, the Heiqi Wuzhenha, had already been released, the Qing army was still using this tactic and was still invincible. According to historical records, even when the cavalry and shooting that the Qing Dynasty clamored could not gain any advantage in front of the Ming army, once the attack was carried out with such tactics, the balance of victory would quickly tilt towards the Qing army.

This tactic is very primitive and old-fashioned, but it was very effective in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Because the main opponent of the Qing army, the Dongjiang army, was very poor in weapons and equipment, Lin Danhan was left with only cavalry and shooting. The Qing army could speak with the advantage of equipment. The Guanning army in western Liaoning was far superior to the Qing army, but the power of the bird guns and tiger squat cannons was very small, and the aiming skills of other artillery were poor. Coupled with the huge gap in combat experience and the collapse of the Ming army itself, this primitive tactic actually achieved the effect of armored infantry vehicles in later generations.

However, this Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army was very different from the Guanning army at that time, and its weapons and equipment were far better than raising family members. The warriors were generally old-style troops with armor, so that this tactic that once had always been invincible was difficult to play a role in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army.

"It's really true. Where did Zhejiang bandits come from so many blacksmiths? This is a army of tens of thousands!"

The elimination of armor lies in the increasing degree of firearm development. It cannot stop the firearms, cannons, and even most armors cannot even stop the straight stab of spears, and no one will continue to bear this expensive cost.

The killing effect of riding bows on this armor is almost negligible. Guan Xiaozhong's defeat in Zhenjiang has clearly told Jiergalang. The effect of the bird gun is not much better. Even the Han army flags that fled back with Liu Liangzuo insisted that the bird gun hit the Ming army's iron armor was just like hitting it with a buttstock. But now, even the Qing army's rarely negligent warfare when he was in Liaodong could not cause damage to it, which really made Jiergalang feel speechless.

The power of industrialization lies in that even if the original cold weapons are used to fight, the vast difference in production capacity can be reflected in equipment. In this world, machine guns are not necessary, and cannons are the only ones in China in equipment that have already occupied the top ten in China in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Cold weapons are also possible.

What's more, the degree of firearming of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also quite good!

Jirgalang could not understand this, but when he noticed the Ming army's armor before the war started, this worry had already emerged. But now, he was standing on the edge of the cliff and had no way out. He could only hope that tactics could once again show his might when he was in Liaodong.

However, times changed, and compared to the old Ming army, where civil officials were responsible for logistics, military generals had to bribe at each level while also bribing their families, the new 6th Army of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army had eliminated those cancers in the system. Every penny spent by Chen Wen on the army could be reflected in combat effectiveness. Jiergalang wanted to defeat the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army with this primitive tactic alone, which was really a dream.

"Jirgalang, Feilong Riding Face, tell me how to lose!"

The Qing army's shooting rhythm slowed down. With the tactical movements of the Ming army's armored infantry, not only were the futile arrows falling continuously. After the Ming army adjusted its formation, the musketeers who had already reloaded stood up one after another.

The Triassic Array came in a flash, and the musket pointed straight ahead, waiting for a loud shout of "fire". The muskets in the first row pulled the trigger like a conditioned reflex.

The trigger was pulled back, and the chicken's head fell. Whether it was the fuse or the flint, it ignited the gunpowder in the medicine room. The gunshot sounded and the smoke blew out. The front of the Ming army's battle formation, which was not flooded by the Folang machine cannon just now, was filled with smoke in an instant.

Almost at the same time, the lead bullet slashed through the air and instantly hit the Qing army's battle formation like raindrops. However, the heavy rain this time was not as dense as the Qing army, but this time the battle formation that hit the Qing army was completely different from the Ming army. It was clearly a hot iron swept through. In just a short moment, the Qing army's battle formation was thinned a layer.

The Qing army in the area without shield car protection fell in an instant, with little left. Those who were hit by muskets were either shot directly or injured or fell to the ground, thus losing their combat effectiveness. The Qing army hiding behind the shield car was not like before this time. The Lumi gun still could not penetrate the shield car, but the bullets of the turtledoubled foot gun decreased less due to the closer distance. After breaking the shield car protection, they could still cause a certain degree of damage to the Qing army behind.

The killing was very different, but this was not over yet. The sight between each other was blocked by gunpowder. The Ming army did not know how effective the killing was. They were still adjusting the firearm team step by step to continue shooting. After the first row was shot, the second row stepped forward, the third row followed, the first row retreated to the end, and the shooting began again.

In this way, it was repeated over and over again. Compared with the heavy armor of the Ming army, the cloth armor of the Qing army was known as bulletproof, but it was useless in the shooting of the turtledove-legged gun and the Lumi gun.

After three shootings, the loading of the turtledove-legged gun had not been completed. Only the Lumi gun fired and fired. The coverage rate suddenly decreased, and the killing was reduced by most of the time. However, the first two rows of the Qing army were empty, and even the third row became like a wolf-toothed dog. Only behind the shield cart, the Qing army's casualties were far less than those areas that could not be covered, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the flat battle formation.

While the Ming army was shooting, the Qing army's infant archers did not stop. However, after the first round of three strikes, the counterattack of the archers had become scattered. Not only were the archers shot by the Ming army in large numbers, but the important thing was that their morale suddenly dropped.

The killing and injury of our side did not have a good effect on the enemy, but the enemy's attack was killing and wounding our soldiers. The weapons and equipment gap between the two sides was too large. With such a exchange ratio, the morale of the Qing army plummeted. The Northern Green Camp, which was originally immersed in the dream of huge rewards after victory and the city slaughtering reward, was not as easy as imagined to win this battle, and immediately lived up to the bravery he had just been.

Jiergalang held the telescope and kept twitching the corners of his mouth. The gap between the weapons and equipment between the two sides was too large. Before he entered the hand-to-hand combat stage, the morale of the Qing army had already dropped significantly. Although the Green Camp soldiers suffered huge damage in the just confrontation, the Eight Banners Army remained intact, but if this continues, the Ming army's battle formation cannot be shaken, and it will soon become the Eight Banners Army that drove away the Green Camp soldiers and reversed the formation.

"The whole army attacked!"

The order was issued, and Jirgalang's commanding flag advanced. At the moment when the war drums were ringing, Jirgalang called a senior officer of the Eight Banners of Manchuria who had been standing by his side for a long time, only pointing to the direction of the right wing of the army.

Guan Qizhong knew that this senior officer was a minister with great trust in Shunzhi. He had not participated in any military affairs before, but was very respected by Jirgalang. For the respect of this senior official who was almost equivalent to the military supervisor, Guan Qizhong could feel that this was not a show of kindness to Shunzhi, but Jirgalang was indeed confident in this person's ability. For this battle, Jirgalang even handed over his killer weapon to the officer.

"The Tuhai is there, from there."

The officer named Ma Jia* Tuhai took the order and took away the Balaya soldiers equipped by Jirgalang specifically with the armor of the Iron Man Army seized from Zheng Chenggong.

After a new squad, the Qing army slowly advanced forward, and the Ming army did not continue to shoot, but retreated the firearms team back into the square formation again, because the cavalry that the Qing army had dispatched had already approached the two wings of the Ming army.

The left wing of the Ming army was not far from Gaochun County, and the cavalry came from the north, which was inconvenient to deploy. The right wing of the Ming army was the Nantang Camp of the Siming Division, which was the oldest camp of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the camp where Chen Wen started. In this battle, the Ming army's cavalry was still at a disadvantage in number, so Chen Wen specially arranged the most combat-capable camp to ensure that the right wing rested with peace of mind.

The Qing cavalry roared over and rolled up a large area of ​​smoke and dust. These Qing cavalry could clearly know from the armor and stone bulls that this was not the Green Camp cavalry on the left wing, but the entire Eight Banners Army.

Unlike other robes, he, the foreman who has dragged the back of the old Nantang Camp, has always fought under the Nantang Camp and has been promoted step by step. However, the phenomenon of high vocational and low-level allocation in Nantang Camp is too common. His current military rank is already qualified to be the director of the bureau after passing the assessment of the martial arts school, but he is still a sentry leader in Nantang Camp.

He was not dissatisfied with this, and even a little bit of joy. It was not that he did not need to re-examine his interpersonal relationships, but that the three words Nantangying meant too much to him. This was the starting point that changed his destiny and the starting point that changed the fate of too many people. Countless robes stained the battlefield with blood. His positioning for himself was to protect this flying tiger army flag and protect everything Ding Keji and others gave for it. It was that simple.

The cavalry of the Qing army rushed over, and the stone giant had already withdrawn the firearm team. The spearmen lined up on the outside, and the spears of one or five feet pointed obliquely in all directions.

The cavalry rushed forward, and the Qing army did not dare to use cavalry to hit the spear forest. This was a business that was not profitable, but shooting on the flanks with bows in the direction of the square formation could still interfere with the loading of the Ming munitions.

The Ming army's spear formation defense and firearms team launched a counterattack. After the Qing cavalry arrived at the battlefield, the Qing army's infantry battle formation also approached the Ming army's formation.

The collision fire burst out in an instant, and the location of Shi Daniu was where the Qing army's infantry battle formation and cavalry attacked at the same time. The infantry formation in the upper right corner of the right wing with the greatest pressure was the most.
