Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 667 The War Capabilities of Great Powers

The other chieftains were similar to Sha Dingzhou. Of course, they didn't want their subordinates to be coerced into laying down their weapons, so they all used this to further arouse the anger of their subordinates.

Even those rebel soldiers who had no family members captured by the Ming army immediately felt the same hatred after seeing this scene.Suddenly, on the rebel side, the situation of mourning soldiers suddenly expanded to the maximum.

When Sha Dingzhou saw it, he felt that the opportunity was too late to come back, so he quickly suggested to Tai Taitun: "General, this is a rare opportunity. Your army will charge first and kill all those who are in the way." good."

Tai Taitun also understood the situation and asked Sha Dingzhou and others to charge first. There might be accidents, so he nodded in agreement.

However, before he had time to issue an order, those old men and women, as well as those middle-aged and young men on the side of the Ming army, were not at all afraid of the evil spirit before the two armies fought, and had already shouted at the rebels of their tribe Woke up.

"Guawazi, if you haven't come back yet, the imperial court has treated us with great kindness, so we can't fight against the imperial court!"

"My son, the emperor divided Master Tusi's field to our family, come back quickly!"

"Your Majesty, Long En, the land will be divided, and there will be two years of tax exemption. You don't have to work hard for the chieftain anymore. Hurry up and surrender!"

"..."

The soldiers in the chieftain army were dumbfounded when they heard the shouting from the opposite side.

What's the situation, didn't it mean that they were held hostage by the government, and they were used to blackmail them before the battle?
But now, they are all shouting that the imperial court has distributed all the fields of the chieftain to their family, and they can be exempted from tax for two years. Is there such a good thing?

Regardless of whether there are relatives there or not, after hearing the call, almost all the soldiers under the chieftain looked at me and I looked at you, with doubts on their faces.

Needless to say, the sudden turning point in this matter made it difficult for them to fully accept it for a while.But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this possibility is also very high.Now that the chieftain is rebelling, if the court comes to put down the rebellion, of course the chieftain's land will be gone.If these fields are allocated to their own family members, it seems that this possibility also exists.

Thinking in this way, they carefully differentiated the truth and falsehood of what their relatives said.Look at the expressions and demeanor of your loved ones, as well as the movements of the nearby Ming army, to see if there is any threat or anything.

No matter from which angle to check, they unexpectedly found that their relatives did not seem to be threatened at all, but they yelled somewhere.There was nothing suspicious about his speech and demeanor.

As a result, the morale of the chieftain's soldiers, who had been bewitched, was immediately drained.However, he did not put down his arms immediately, or turn back.Instead, they were all looking at each other, wondering what to do next.

But most people, of course, are more willing to believe what their relatives say, if they want to fight the court, they might as well put down their weapons and go home to farm.What are the benefits of following Master Tusi?In the past, they had to follow, otherwise the killing by the chieftain would be for nothing.But isn't it different now?
Seeing this situation, Sha Dingzhou and other chieftains panicked.They didn't expect that the Emperor Ming would come up with such a trick. This was a drastic move, and they wanted to disintegrate their subordinates. This is still possible!
So, they immediately shouted at their subordinates, saying that the government is cunning, this is a trick, don't believe it, when they put down their weapons, they will be punished later.They have already rebelled, and there is no turning back.

As a result, their soldiers hesitated again.As far as they are concerned, there is indeed this concern.They have already rebelled with the chieftain, regardless of whether they rebelled voluntarily or not, the reality is that they rebelled.I don't know if the imperial court will settle accounts after autumn?
At this time, teams of Ming troops stepped forward and shouted in unison: "The emperor has ordered that ordinary people be coerced by the traitor chieftain, put down their weapons and go home to reunite. The fields can be divided, and no one will be held accountable. If you capture the traitor chieftain, you will get three times the land and be exempted from taxes for five years!"

Sha Dingzhou was dumbfounded when he heard it.

After saying these words, all the things he said just now are in vain.

The emperor issued such a decree in front of the two armies. It was definitely a spit and a nail, and it could not be false.Otherwise, if the emperor regrets it, there will be no place to put his face.

In this way, as long as the serfs under him rebelled, they would get great benefits, and it was impossible for me to give them more benefits, so what else could I do?
What made him feel even more frustrated was that the Emperor Daming was using his things as the emperor's generosity, allocating his fields to those serfs. For the court, there was no need to pay anything at all!

He panicked when he thought about it.His subordinate officers, that is, small serf owners, also panicked, so their situation was similar to that of Sha Dingzhou.So, they scolded their subordinates one after another, saying that the imperial court was lying and lying, and they must not be believed.And some grumpy small serf owners even drew knives and threatened to kill anyone who dared to betray them!
No matter how they explain it, the ordinary soldiers in the chieftain army, that is, the original serfs, naturally have their own judgments. Relatives shouted there, and the emperor delivered orders before the battle. Needless to say, what these small serf owners said was basically There is little effect on it.

Looking at the army of chieftains whose lairs have been raided everywhere, the atmosphere is a bit wrong.Tai Taitun was also a little anxious, and quickly sent an order to attack.As long as you fight, it's useless to say anything.

This initial contact battle is crucial. If the Ming army is to be defeated, then the momentum can be used to control the hesitant chieftain soldiers, so there will be no surprises.But if the stalemate continues or is defeated by the Ming army, it will definitely shake the morale of the army and increase the wavering mood in the army.

Therefore, Tai Taitun dispatched his fifty war elephants at the first time, and his infantry also followed the war elephants and charged towards the Ming army's imperial flag.

When Sha Dingzhou, Wu Bikui and others saw it, they naturally ordered their subordinates to follow up.Shouting loudly, they forced their men to start fighting.

Emperor Chongzhen certainly understood the key to the upcoming situation.He did not place any hope on letting the common people shout and then cheering from the other side and everything would be over.

Therefore, after seeing the movement on the other side, he immediately sent out the car camp.It's just a war elephant, and those who haven't seen a giant will be afraid, but for the well-informed people of later generations, this war elephant is really not as easy to use as cavalry.

One after another vans immediately greeted them and lined up in front of the formation of the two armies. The artillery on the vans had already been loaded, and only those left to aim and shoot.

In the sidecar, there are as many as ten Hongyi cannons, and there are even more smaller ones such as Fran cannons.All the muzzles were pointed at the rebel war elephant troops, waiting for them to rush closer.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Ming army began to persuade ordinary people to leave.The battle is about to start, and it is no longer suitable for them to speak out in front of the battle.

However, when these old men and women saw that the rebels were about to fight, they immediately became anxious. Once the war started, their relatives would probably die.As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they want to save the lives of their loved ones.

So, when they saw the rebels rushing over, not only did they not retreat obediently, but they rushed over head-on, shouting bitterly.Anyway, it depends on their performance, it's their own relatives, if they don't put down their weapons and surrender, they may rush to beat them!
As soon as this happened, the soldiers of the Ming army who protected them were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that these old men and women were not afraid of death!But looking back and thinking about it, I think it is understandable, after all, I want to save my relatives.

And the nephews of these old men and women were also dumbfounded when they saw it.I didn't expect my relatives to be so desperate and angry. Needless to say, the things I said before must be true.If he wants to fight against the court again, who can he be worthy of?
At this moment, there was a contrast in their minds.The imperial court gave them the land and gave them tax exemption; before, they worked tirelessly for the chieftain, not to mention their hard life, and if they were not careful, they would be punished by the chieftain, and they would all be beaten to death.

So, one of the rebel soldiers stopped first.Then, there was a second, a third... As if contagious, more and more rebel soldiers stopped charging.

When the little serf owners saw it, they were terrified.Immediately began to suppress, all means of coercion and temptation were used.

At this time, the first two armies to charge, namely the Ming army's chariot camp and the Dongwu army's war elephant unit, were very close.

"Boom boom boom..." The deafening cannon sound rang out when the gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

That's right, Dongwu's war elephants have been trained not to be afraid of the sound of guns and guns.Moreover, the war elephants have rough skin and thick flesh, and they are also covered with protective measures such as leather armor.But no matter what you are, can you withstand the bombardment of artillery?

If a few cannons are enough for the chieftains or small countries over there, then the number of artillery pieces the Ming army has at this time is completely beyond their imagination.

Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, a group of war elephants who had just started running fell to the ground with a wail.Either disemboweled or broken limbs, as long as it is hit by the iron bullets fired by the artillery, there is no exception for a war elephant.

The elephant soldiers on the elephant's back, as well as the elite Dongwu who followed the elephant, also suffered.Whether it was plowed by iron bullets or affected by injured war elephants, it was also a mess, with ghosts crying and howling.

The frontal war between a big country and a small country, and the unequal strength of the two sides, are shown for the first time in front of these frogs at the bottom of the well, let them know what a real war is!
