Chapter 118(1/3)
: You must take his weapon first
Bye Yintu, the tiger in Tuga Mongolia. The newly-produced Melezhangjing (can be understood as the meaning of the deputy general), the most brave general under Master Ma Laxi.
Unlike ordinary Mongolian generals who are good at shooting and wielding sabers, Bai Yintu's hand was extremely powerful. In the battle of Taiyuan, he once ran through 30 rebels and made great achievements.
This time, Duoduo was left behind to transport military funds. In addition to the part of the Ming army attached to Guide, he also controlled 5,000 Mongolian elite cavalry. Ma Laxi left two-thirds of the troops in his headquarters to Baiyintu.
This Tuga Mongolian tiger knew the heavy task and was very careful to urge the army to escort the military's resources and fodder.
The distance from Sizhou to Yangzhou is very close. If the cavalry is completely released, it can be reached only day and night. However, transporting supplies is completely different from cavalry running, and it is impossible to get up at all.
Especially those large siege equipment, such as bulky siege hammers, tall siege towers, flat towers, etc., are transported very slowly. Each large siege equipment requires hundreds of people to take turns to push it.
As for the nineteen red cannons, they seem much more agile. As long as they change the horses frequently, they can barely keep up with the speed of the army, but they only encounter some troubles.
The Han people were timid and did not dare to fight face to face with the Manchu and Mongolian warriors. They liked to build a strong city and could not hide, and these siege equipment was of great help to attack. Especially the red-clothed cannons, the Qing army had a nearly superstitious feeling...
Since the day before yesterday, several cavalrymen of unknown origin have taken turns to harass them. The number of these cavalry is not large, and they will harasse a few times and flee far away. Apart from the speed of the army, they cannot cause any substantial damage.
Of course, Baiyintu would not ignore the main task and entangle with these rangers, and sent Mongolian cavalry to disperse the matter...
Until yesterday, the frequency of these cavalry harassment became more frequent, seriously delaying the speed of the army. Such unsuccessful harassment made Bai Yintu feel alert, and made the scouts increase their search scope and pay close attention to the surrounding trends. Only then did they notice that a large number of enemy troops were rushing towards the south.
Of course, Baiyintu knew that the most important thing now was to send military funds to Yangzhou immediately, but due to the speed of the team's progress, fighting was inevitable. Baiyintu, who had rich combat experience, sent people to Yangzhou to report the news to Master Ma Laxi, while stepping up the urging team to advance.
It’s not that I want to get rid of the enemy, because my speed cannot be faster than the enemy. Baiyintu just wants to find a place that suits me more to fight.
I rushed forward and finally found this broad-minded mountain this morning. I immediately urged the Mongolian elite soldiers and waited for the enemy to come to the door.
Such a flat area is the most suitable battlefield for the elite Mongolian cavalry.
The Mongolian soldiers in the Tuga tribe accounted for almost half of the total force. More than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry were rushing to shoot. In addition, the same number of Mongolian infantry was enough to match the Ming army. As for the newly attached Han army, Baiyintu always regarded them as hard labor and did not expect them to have any combat effectiveness.
When the sun was about two bamboo poles, the troops who were rushing all the way to death finally entered each other's vision with the Mongolian flag soldiers who were waiting for their work.
Faced with the obviously superior number of troops to die, Bai Yintu was so happy.
In a battlefield suitable for cavalry combat, these Han people are simply seeking death.
"It's a very good battlefield, suitable for the Mongols, and more suitable for us. The front team is ahead thirty steps, and the second team is ahead twenty steps."
Li Si calmly set up a loose front in front of the Mongolian soldiers, and placed the fork soldiers in a narrow and long and weak fighting posture. The few horse-riding infantry simply got off their horses and were more scattered on both wings, drawing out bows and arrows to attract them to wait.
As the core, Li Si simply sits in the center and arranges it calmly under the 19-foot-high sun and moon blood flag.
"A man who is stupider than a guinea pig." This is the most appropriate comment from Baiyintu to Li Si.
"Don't give Han'er a chance to breathe, the warriors of Tengri's immortality..." Bai Yintu pointed his big iron spear in his hand and shouted like a roaring lion and tiger: "Defeat them!"
In an instant.
Ten thousand horses ran together, and the smoke and dust swept over like a yellow dragon.
Facing the unparalleled Mongolian elite cavalry, the most effective and classic tactic is to use the same number of cavalry to hedge. Of course, the Han people who lack cavalry put the infantry into a deep and dense phalanx of six to ten layers, using the horse-resisting gun tactics and the flesh and blood of soldiers to buffer the fast impact of the cavalry. Then, a large number of archers or musket soldiers were arranged in the phalanx, and long-range killing weapons such as bows and arrows and muskets were used to disrupt the impact of the hysteresis cavalry. This is the classic tactic of using footsteps to cavalry, and there is nothing else to do with it.
The opponent was even arrogant enough to set up the simplest attacking team. Do these Han people think that they were only equipped with leather armor and could be used as cavalry as lightning strikes?
The only small number of poor cavalry that the opponent had even got off the war horses...
This made Baiyintu wonder if the other party came to die, or if they really had any killer moves.
As long as the cavalry, who had already accumulated enough horsepower, would disappear any concerns.
The sound of horse hooves like thunder hit the ground violently, as if they were hitting everyone's heart. Faced with such power, especially those in a flat open space, they have to bear great mental pressure.
The cavalry immediately pulled down the short bow behind him and pulled out the arrows from the leather pot. As long as they advanced more than 400 steps, the arrogant and stupid Han people could experience the unparalleled shooting technique of the Mongols.
It is by relying on the rushing of the horse. The Golden Family had spread all over the world and expanded its territory thousands of miles. Every warrior protected by Tengri was extremely proud and confident about it.
"Ao--" The Mongolian cavalry made a strange cry, and the speed of speed that seemed to have turned the shout into a shocking long tune.
In the Mercedes-Benz, it was covered with dense rain of arrows, and then relied on horsepower to impact. In this way, the infantry finally took the battle and completely solved the battle. This is a combat skill that every man in the Tuga tribe must learn from childhood.
"The barbarians are barbarians, and they don't look at what the world is now. The tactics from hundreds of years ago are still showing off." The enemy's overall tactics and expectations are exactly the same. The Mongols are still following the tactics of the Genghis Khan era. I really don't know if they are stubborn or backward.
The infantry tactics that seem to have become classic tutorials are as far back as the Mongols' desperate attacks. Li Si is not so stupid that he has let the death army bear the seeds of hope in the world, and Li Si is not so stupid as to fight against the cavalry with flesh and blood.
What is the defense done? What the army needs to go to the death is pure offensive. Of course, the early offensive of the offensive will never be completed by the fork soldiers.
In this kind of battle that is already bored by what is deduced in my heart, the fork soldier is actually the role of cleaning the battlefield.
Facing the elite cavalry approaching rapidly, Li Si's relaxed posture can greatly stabilize the morale of the army. Everyone was waiting to see the jokes of the elite Mongolian cavalry, or simply took a half step forward and prepared to hit the dog.
"Fu Er, do you think the Mongols are behind the scenes?"
Li Si can easily make fun of him. Fu Er, as the cannon battalion officer, was so nervous that he could not help. How could he have the intention to respond to Li Si?
Listen to the sound of the cavalry's hooves like thunder, pay close attention to the distance between the two sides with the greatest energy, and think about various data such as volume in advance and firing again...
The cannon camp official Fu Er blind man was already pitiful, and now he tried his best to squint his eyes. It really seemed like he had no eyes. Fu Er blind man was indeed as his name was.
Compared with the nervousness of the artillery battalion officer, Li Si was really not in a hurry at all.
What's there to worry about? This battle was destined from the beginning.
"fire."
Fu Er, who had been paying close attention to the movements of the cavalry, was calculating various data accurately, and even the blue veins in his neck burst out. His eyes as thin as a slit, as small as beans, suddenly opened, as big as a cow's eyes, and the red flag in his hand suddenly waved...
The gunner of the gunner desperately pulled the cannon rope...
The 400-pound iron cannon was actually very small, and no one would pay attention to it. Li Si deliberately placed these small things with little power and a short range behind the fork soldiers, and arranged them in a deep square formation. He gave up the popular segmented artillery method at that time and directly let the artillery battalion fire all at once.
Ten thousand cannons were just the catchphrase of Mr. Storytelling. No one could really have so many cannons. Ning Yuan, who had the largest number of cannons, had only a few dozen of them piled up with silver. If the power and range were abandoned, calculated based on the number of cannons, Li Si would fire more than 100 iron cannons at the same time, which would have been the most dense firepower at that time.
The sound of hundreds of cannons can be described as being described by the movement of the earth and the mountain. I felt my feet soft, as if the whole ground was trembling. Then there was a deafening loud noise, which sounded around me like thunder and earth fire.
Although he had been mentally prepared, the soldiers who went to the death were still shocked by this earth-shaking momentum...
The speeding cavalry was absolutely as fast as the wind. With the sound of wind in my ears, the scenery beside me was retreating rapidly.
The experienced cavalry were ready to shoot arrows, and many people even began to stand up and slump behind the horse's head and set off to shoot arrows.
If you can't use your fingers to make your war horse move forward at these two or three hundred steps, causing the enemy in front of you to enter the range of the bow and arrow...
but.
Although the small iron cannons that went to the death cannot compare to the Divine Fire Copper cannons made by the Ming Dynasty, nor can they compare to the Red Cannons of the Xifan. They are much longer than the Mongols' bows and arrows and are much more powerful.
Before the cavalry advanced to the range of the bow and arrow, they had already entered the range of the small iron cannon.
The experience and ability of soldiers in the artillery battalions of the dead army to operate iron cannons is far from accurate, and it is not as "kill wherever Fu Erbian himself boasted," but the number of small iron cannons in field can completely make up for this. This method of using artillery fire to cover dense enemy groups in large areas can cause huge damage, and at the same time highlight the terrifying role of the artillery group in field battles.
The cavalrymen who were screaming and preparing to shoot the rain of arrows were rushing forward with their lives. I don’t know what happened, but suddenly they felt a flash of fire and the ground softened...
The comrades in front of him who were running at lightning seemed to have a pause, and then they rolled and pounced on him...
Finally, I heard the sound of cannons like Gioree.
During the rapid group charge, the comrades in front of him suddenly fell in rows, which immediately became the biggest obstacle for later generations.
With such a fast impact, no dodging action will be too late, which will cause greater chaos and can only be trampled on under the driving force of powerful inertia.
Not to mention the shells knocking down the horse, even if you are not careful, you will be knocked away by the cavalry behind you immediately and then trampled into blood and shattered flesh.
For cavalry, any slowdown during the impact is fatal. As for the dispersion of large-covered artillery fire, it is catastrophic.
The Mongolian elite cavalry has seen cannons. They have even experienced many times. However, the artillery bombardment in the past mostly occurred in the battle for cities, and the artillery fire density was extremely limited and the damage was not large. Even if there were artillery fire that occasionally appeared in field battles, because the cannons at that time were extremely bulky and conspicuous, and the number was sparse, the cavalry could always make some preparations first...
I didn't notice that the enemy on the opposite side was equipped with such a dense group of cannons...
One of them was not careful and caused disastrous consequences.
Because of the high-speed characteristics of the cavalry, even if they know that the opponent is equipped with strong firepower, they have no chance to turn back or stop, so they can only rush over with the bullet and rush over.
The fire is loading in cumbersome and cannot be turned into action, so it takes a long time to fire again.
At the speed of a cavalry, you can completely cover up and kill during the time gap between the opponent's loading.
"Accelerate, get closer..."
Baiyintu also had enough experience in fighting. After taking such a big blow, he immediately seized the fleeting fighter plane and shouted and gathered the chaotic cavalry of the forward.
In fact, there is no need to pay attention to the Yintu command. These cavalry with equally experienced have already spontaneously gathered in the case of high-speed impact, trying to strengthen the impact force.
The scattered cavalry has no sustainable impact at all. If they hit hard, they will only smash themselves into pieces. Even if they barely tear open the gap, they will fail because the subsequent power does not keep up.
The soldiers who went to the artillery battalion of the dead army had no time to observe the results of the battle. They just installed training dogmas to mechanically pull out the pins on the back of the iron cannon, and the folded cannon stand was immediately supported. The cannon body was raised and the muzzle was lowered...
Brushing, loading, filling, compacting...
The four soldiers equipped with each small iron cannon completed this set of actions step by step...
"fire!"
The red flag fell again.
This time the fire was far from being as neat as the first time, and the sound of gunfire began to appear one after another.
The muzzle was lowered and the range was reduced, which naturally enveloped the cavalry that charged in a straight line.
With the continuous bursts, the soldiers of the artillery camp finally had the opportunity to witness the huge results they had caused.
Just a glance out of the corner of your eyes, you can see the smoke and dust rising in the cavalry cluster. Three or two cavalry, men and horses, were directly bombed, and after landing, it became an obstacle to the cavalry behind...
To be continued...
