Chapter 28 The Battle of Killing

Explain a question that readers often ask: it is the problem of grenades, and there is no need to throw devices, because the function of grenades is originally used to deal with enemies within 30-50 meters, and you can use artillery to get farther away. If you don’t agree with your own opinion, you can mention it.

…………

Liu Sangdu is a person who values ​​talents. Although he does not have the ability to lead troops to fight, he relies on a group of subordinates to train an elite soldier. Perhaps this is why Liu Sangdu was so valued by Zhu Changxun. In the later period, the troops in the main battle had already been transformed into firearms, and the new army of Tongzhou was the leader. King Fu relied on his abundant financial resources, and the degree of firearms of his subordinates was also very high, which was much higher than that of ordinary guards. His strength was close to the main combat troops in Liaodong. Of course, these were carried out under very confidential conditions. With Concubine Zheng in the capital, King Fu's actions that were equal to rebellion were persisted for four or five years without discovery. The moment of discovery was on the battlefield. It was undoubtedly a great irony for the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei, who claimed to monitor every move of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Sangdu waved his hand again, and the rhythm of the cowhide drum on the top of the city began to accelerate. Then the 10,000 infantry of the Fu King's rebels began to form a formation of a camp. The box truck also equipped with Franc cannons began to push to the front of the station formation, slowly moving towards the Tongzhou New Army. At the same time, he shouted neatly, and a heavy pressure was pressing towards the Tongzhou New Army for a while.

Niu Guifu is an advanced model in the new army in Tongzhou. He is one of the best masters regardless of shooting or shooting cannons or pulling bows and throwing bullets. However, when it comes to practical experience, he is like a fake brother. Of course, this does not include the first few battles to clear the castles around Luoyang, because those battles cannot be considered wars at all, and at most they are just taking over.

He sweats more often in normal times and less in wartime. The commanders teach the new recruits this way, but sweating cannot get what he can only learn by bleeding. Similarly, the difference between an old bird on the battlefield and a rookie who has just started on the battlefield is very big. Originally, more than a hundred households in the new army in Tongzhou were all promising officers who have been selected from various guards, but Niu Guifu was not among them. Seeing the power of the rebels of King Fu, not to mention comforting his subordinates, I was also frightened.

At this time, a horse was riding a horse, holding a golden dragon flag high, and galloping quickly across the front of the chariot formation. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Everyone rushed, Heng, the commander of the rider obeyed the orders, and he was not allowed to open fire without orders. All follow the orders of the army. Those who violate the orders will be dealt with by military law!"

Then another soldier who was sent to the command galloped past, shouting: "The cyclists in front act according to the original orders, and the cyclists in both wings and the cyclists in the back of the cyclists in Zhu Youzhai's enemy cavalry raided!"

At this time, Xiong Gang next to him said silly in Niu Guifu's ear: "Boss Niu, I don't know if this messenger is from the First Battalion or the Second Division. If it were theirs, we would be ahead!"

Niu Guifu heard Xiong Gang's funny joke, and his nervousness disappeared just now. He turned around and kicked Xiong Gang, shouting loudly: "Damn it, why are you standing here if you don't load the fire? When the thieves rushed up, our cannons will not sound, and the military achievements will be taken away by the other people! There are also muskets for me, and the grenades sent by the Ministry of War are ready. When the rebels approach, use muskets and grenades. Don't do anything randomly. Do the captains of each team understand their mission?"

"I understand!" One of the soldiers was just six teams, and they were very close. Niu Guifu's loud voice quickly reached the hands of the soldiers under his command through the shouts of the rebels of King Fu.

Listening to Niu Guifu's rough voice, the soldier, who was already a little panicked, calmed down a little and began to be busy with his own affairs.

But Xiong Gang, who was standing beside Niu Guifu, said again: "Boss Niu, are you always saying that you are the flag of the new army in Tongzhou? Why are we arranged to the back this time to form a formation? Are those rebels still waiting for us? Plus the powerful guys behind them, hey..."

Niu Guifu was depressed for a long time because of this matter. When he saw Xiong Gang still expose his scars like this, he kicked him again and cursed: "Damn it, you kid are troublesome. Do you know that this is the last line of defense. Behind it are Lord Sun and those red cannons. This is what Lord Sun values ​​me and let me take on this important task..."

Just after this, the rebels of Fu Wang started to roar at the edge of the power of the Ming army's artillery, and stopped in unison. Of course, this cannon did not refer to the red cannon. Then the cavalry on both wings began to assault, but the route of the assault was very strange. They rushed to the two wings of the two wings of the three Ming army battalions. Then dozens of red cannons of the Ming army began to roar together, and ammunition like raindrops fell in the Fu Wang Wang's rebels. This time they used flowering bullets, and a large number of rebels were blown to the ground. There was a commotion in the neat rebel formation, and dozens of raging smoke began to ignite.

When Liu Sangdu saw this situation at the top of the city, he had already realized that after some of the previous battles, King Fu's spies had thoroughly studied the Tongzhou New Army. Although the previous battles did not really exert the strength of the Ming army, Liu Sangdu had already had a deep understanding of the formation and habits of the Ming army. So under the planning of some staff, this battle specifically targeted the Ming army's vehicle battalion began.

In that era when the Red-Black Cannon was a powerful weapon, but the amazing power did not mean that it was invincible. The Red-Black Cannon, like other artillery, had a complex loading process and a complex aiming process, so the speed of fire was slow and could not be very useful in field battles. Liu Sangdu really understood this and used the sudden cavalry to reduce the threat of the Ming army's Red-Black Cannon. Just as Liu Sangdu predicted, the rebel cavalry had rushed to the front of the Che Battalion when the Tongzhou New Army had not had the second artillery. At this time, the Shenwei cannons, muskets, and grenades in the Che Battalion began to work. Of course, Liu Sangdu was obviously very familiar with the Ming army's tricks in the Shenyang victory, and there was also a way to crack the Ming army's Che Battalion.

In the first wave of rebel cavalry, dozens of carriages rushed towards the car camp. Without the power of the red cannons, the divine power cannons, muskets and even grenades could not stop the carriage from advancing. Finally, while half of the carriages were destroyed, half of the carriages successfully rushed to the Ming army carriage camp. Then loud noises that shocked the world came out, followed by loud noises, and the fragments of the carriages and the corpses of the horses leading the carriages fell from the sky, and the box carriages blocking the carriages had long been smashed by the violent explosions. The soldiers nearby had been either killed or injured by the loud noises. Then they followed the rebels behind them and entered the gap in the carriages. The entire Ming army's carriage was defeated completely in the first round of fighting with the rebels.

Liu Sangdu slowly put down his clairvoyance, smiled knowingly at the staff behind him, waved his hand again, and then the sound of the cowhide drums on the top of the city was even more intense, and then the rebel infantry began to advance at full speed. After the two wings of the Ming army were penetrated, the second battalion of the Ming army had been in chaos and had no way to effectively attack the rebels. For a moment, the situation of the Ming army was very critical.

Li Zhizao was originally full of confidence in today's battle. He thought that attacking Luoyang would be hard at most, and at most it would take more time and more casualties. However, the facts proved that everything had shortcomings. The Cheying Camp defeated the Later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, not the invincibility of the Cheying Camp, but the Later Jin Dynasty's contempt and incomprehension of the Cheying Camp. Liu Sangdu was not the Later Jin Dynasty. After Liu Sangdu learned that the Ming army won the battle in Shenyang, he asked his aides to conduct a thorough study of the Ming army's Cheying Camp. When the weakness of the Cheying Camp was discovered, the Cheying Camp seemed to have no effect.

If it were other troops of the Ming army, they would have been defeated and retreated in full swing. However, under the instructions of Zhu Youxiao, the new army in Tongzhou tried Zhu Youxiao's so-called political and ideological work. Therefore, the cohesion of the new army in Tongzhou can be said to be the strongest in the Ming Dynasty today. When the invincible ches camp in the past was defeated with one blow, they all rushed, fought, and the commanders of each took the mobile command, forming smaller ches. Then the cavalry teams in the ches camp began to rush to various gaps, and the Quan Yong team also moved to various gaps one after another, and for a time, the rebel cavalry and ches camp in the ches camp formed a deadlock.

When Li Zhizao saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered the two chariot battalions that were covering the rear to send cavalry teams to help, and the concentrated red artillery artillery also began to fire into the rebel infantry formation, delaying the advance speed of the rebel infantry team. The two chariot battalions began to advance forward to protect the two wings that were defeated by the rebels.

Liu Sangdu stood at a high place and saw everything clearly. Then he turned his head to a counselor beside him and asked, "Mr. Fei, what should we do now? Should we attack the reserve cavalry at one time?"

The strategist, known as Mr. Fei, had a national face, but his face was always pale. At this moment, Mr. Fei was really leaning against the city wall, stomping on the city wall, holding the city with one hand and holding his chin with the other, thinking carefully. When he heard Liu Sangdu's inquiry, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Sangdu expressionlessly, and said, "General Liu, act according to the scheduled plan! This battle is definitely won! But Bei Zhi has something to say, I hope General Liu will not blame Bei Zhi."

Liu Sangdu obviously valued Mr. Fei very much, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Fei's words are too late to thank Mr. Fei for his words. How dare you blame Mr. Fei? It's okay to say it bluntly. I must listen to Mr. Fei's teachings!"

Mr. Fei was not polite at all and said, "Some things cannot be changed, but strategic things cannot be changed tactically. So what if you win this battle, do you still understand the result?"
