Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty: I have a super system

Chapter 131 The First Battle Is the Decisive Battle

Four months passed in a blink of an eye, and the training of each new army was completed.Emperor Tianqi, who stayed in the barracks for four months, also learned how to use a portable rebreather oxygen machine.

On August 16th of the [-]th year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi held a swearing-in meeting in Daying, Tongzhou.Finally, Emperor Tianqi drew out the Son of Heaven Sword and pointed to the sky, saying, "All soldiers, follow me to the battle."

The expedition army was led by Emperor Yujia, Commander Lin Yuhao and Deputy Commander Zhang Zhiji.They set off in a mighty way, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at the Acropolis of Xining.

On the way to Xining Acropolis, they received seven battle reports from the front line of Xining Acropolis.

In these battle reports, it is written about the small-scale tentative attack launched by the plateau Gushi Khan's troops on the Xining Acropolis.

Since September of the 13th year of Apocalypse, Emperor Apocalypse has been abolishing and reorganizing on a large scale except Liaodong, the other eight frontier defense towns and border defense stations.

The Weisuo armies of Jizhou, Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan, and Ganzhou have a total of 15 people on the books.

But in fact there are only about 11 people, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled.Their superior generals were all the nephews of Shanxi merchants or were bought by money.

But after the reorganization, the guards of these eight important towns.Following the framework of the Beijing Camp New Army, a new army was formed.

The number of new troops also reached the full quota of 21.

Currently, in Liaodong, North Zhili and Northwest China.They have all formed new armies, only Nanzhili has not started to reform.

Liaodong has the most new army, reaching more than 26 people.On the front line in northern Liaoning, there are [-] Liaodong New Army and [-] Horqin Mongolian Army.The Ming and Mongolian coalition forces were formed to jointly monitor the Jiannu who had shrunk here.

In Beizhili, except for the Beijing Camp New Army.New armies were also formed in other places, and together they reached 23.

Including the number of new troops in the border towns, Daming has more than 72 new troops.

According to Emperor Tianqi's plan, a new army will be formed in Nanzhili in October this year.The goal is set at 19, so that there will be no old guards in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Forming a new army of more than 90 people is a small goal planned by Emperor Tianqi long ago.

At present, there are only more than 4000 new troops stationed in the Acropolis of Xining.Since the second half of Apocalypse 14, the Xining Weixin Army has been equipped with imitation Thunder rifles and deployed fourteen new twelve-pound city fire cannons, and its strength has greatly increased.

Moreover, Xining Acropolis completed an expansion in the 15th year of Tianqi.Two armament warehouses have been added, which can store enough military food for 3 people for two years and guns and ammunition for fighting for five months.

With the support of these two armament warehouses, even the army led by Emperor Tianqi has not yet reached the Acropolis of Xining.For the defenders in the city, it is not a problem to stick to it for at least five months.

Emperor Tianqi was very confident in his reforms in key border towns, so he didn't take the enemy's tentative attacks to heart.

However, since the enemy has made a move.Then you can't be merciful, and Emperor Tianqi will receive the seventh battle report after reading it.Throwing it directly into the prepared smokeless stove in the four-wheeled carriage, looking at Lin Yuhao who was riding beside the driver, he said, "Aiqing, pass on the order. When you arrive in Xining, first teach Gushi Khan a profound lesson."

After receiving the order from Emperor Tianqi, Lin Yuhao nodded and said, "Yes, the general will obey the order."

In the days that followed, the pace of the march picked up markedly.

After entering Lanzhou, Lin Yuhao required the entire army to wear portable rebreathing oxygen machines.

In fact, up to now, the whole army is still very curious about this new gadget.

Officers at all levels, down to ordinary soldiers, are talking about this rebreathing oxygen machine.

When the oxygen machine was exchanged, Lin Yuhao had already turned off the voice reminder function.

This stuff is still scary even now.

In case the oxygen machine is about to run out of power, a gentle female voice reminds the user to recharge the oxygen machine.

It can definitely scare the souls of these ancients, and enshrine the oxygen machine as a fairy treasure.

When training them to use it, Lin Yuhao told everyone.Once the red light on the oxygen machine comes on, there is nothing to worry about.

Just find a sunny place and stand for a quarter of an hour.

Although when teaching, the soldiers didn't understand very well.

But after a few demonstrations, the soldiers all understood.

Everyone was sighing, how did the head of Jingliao Hou grow.Such a novelty can be tossed out by him, he is simply a genius.

They've all heard it.

The muskets, artillery, and thunderbolts they use now are all made by Jingliao Hou.

Now that such a novel oxygen machine has been assembled, it is even more amazing.

But if you feel fresh, you feel fresh, and no one will make fun of your own life.

As soon as the military order was issued, all the soldiers in the army immediately put on the oxygen machines.

Indeed, when we first entered Gansu.They felt a little short of breath, and their marching speed was much slower than before.

And after the entire army wore the rebreathing oxygen machine, everyone felt that this new thing is really magical.

The previous difficulty in breathing no longer reappeared, and the whole person felt much more refreshed.

With the oxygen machine as an artifact, the whole army resumed its previous marching speed again.

On September 16nd, the [-]th year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi visited the Acropolis of Xining.

The arrival of a large number of troops strengthened the defense of the entire Xining Acropolis dozens of times.

There are four defensive piers around the Acropolis of Xining: Hushan Dunbao, Zhenshan Dunbao, Anshan Dunbao and Pingshan Dunbao.

The four piers and the Xining Acropolis are the horns of each other, helping each other to defend.

When the enemy attacks the pier, the artillery on the acropolis can hit the enemy.If the enemy mainly attacks the Acropolis, the Dunbao can send the message in time.

These four pier forts are stationed with garrison units under the Xining New Army, including an infantry battalion of hundreds of households, a general artillery banner and a small cavalry banner.

Attached to the pier for defense is a new type of tiger squat gun.Each general flag has six gates, which are the main heavy weapons for small and medium-sized defense piers.

The supreme commander of the pier is the Baihu officer of the infantry battalion, and the assistant commander is the artillery general banner officer and the cavalry small banner officer.

Each pier is self-sufficient, with wells and farmland.There are also ammunition and emergency medicines that can be consumed for ten days.

In the event of a major war, they will receive enough ammunition and medicine from Xining Acropolis in advance for a month's consumption.

Judging from the battle reports sent before, all four piers have suffered tentative attacks.

The results were not bad, with a total of 530 seven piers obtained from the four piers!

The Acropolis of Xining is a strong city and has only been attacked once tentatively.It's not bad to get 320 five pieces.

Emperor Tianqi entered the Acropolis of Xining to rest, and met with the civil and military officials of the Acropolis of Xining.

Lin Yuhao looked at Emperor Tianqi who had entered the city safely, and took a deep breath.So I set off with the team, and I had to give some greetings to the enemy.

Lin Yuhao likes the feeling of being on the battlefield like this now, and this feeling in Liaodong used to make him feel exciting.

Later, when I went to sea from time to time, this feeling was not so strong.

Now that he has come to the northwest battlefield, this familiar feeling has returned.

Lin Yuhao made a disciplinary plan, bringing 1938 soldiers from the left guard of the new Beijing Army and four M-[-] howitzers.Take a detour to attack the enemy's camp, and use cannonballs to send some meeting gifts to the enemy.

According to the information sent by Jin Yiwei's spies, Gushi Khan's [-] forward troops were stationed less than [-] miles away from Xining Acropolis.

Those seven tentative attacks were also carried out by this vanguard army in accordance with the orders of Gushi Khan.

At night, Gushi Khan's vanguard army was still busy burning fire and barbecue.

And Lin Yuhao had brought his people to seven miles away from their camp.

The vanguard army under Gushi Khan really underestimated the enemy.

Knowing that the Ming army had artillery with a very long range, they only placed mobile light and dark sentries within three miles around the camp.

They never thought about defending against the Ming army's artillery attack at all, let alone the Ming army would take the initiative to attack.

This time they penetrated more than 400 miles into the border of the Ming Dynasty. The border troops of the Ming Dynasty always defended passively and never took the initiative to attack.

This made them habitually think that the Ming army would only hold out.

Under such insensitivity, they did relax their vigilance.

After calibrating and shooting the howitzers with the gun team mirror, Lin Yuhao looked at the four howitzers in front of him: "Every gun is ready, ready, and fired."

Following the firing order, the four cannons spit out bright tongues of flame.

After the four shells crossed a perfect arc, they hit the target precisely.

The enemies who were still resting in the camp, or who were about to eat barbecue, were blown up and dizzy.

Before the enemy could react, the second round of shells hit the enemy camp again.

This time it was the enemy's stable, which killed many of the enemy's war horses.The fire caused by the explosion also burned the horse feed stocked by the enemy.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rounds of shelling.

Each gun was equipped with a box of shells, all of which hit the enemy's camp.

As soon as the shelling ended, the enemy camp was still in chaos.

Lin Yuhao gave the order for the entire army to retreat.

It's almost like shooting all the shells under the enemy's nose and slipping away. It's really cool and exciting.

After returning to Acropolis of Xining, Lin Yuhao only took a few sips of fruity wine before reporting to Emperor Tianqi.

The disciplinary task was successfully completed, and there were no casualties on our own side.

After hearing Lin Yuhao's report, Emperor Tianqi handed a note in front of the imperial table to Lin Yuhao and said, "Aiqing, take a look at this."

Lin Yuhao took the note and saw that it was the information sent by Jin Yiwei's spies.It reads: Gushi Khan will lead an army of 13 in two days and arrive at the Acropolis of Xining.

In the entire Acropolis of Xining plus the four surrounding piers, the Ming army only had more than 18 troops.But they have to face Gushi Khan's army of nearly [-].

After reading the information, Lin Yuhao said directly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you abandon the four surrounding fortresses, shrink your troops, and clear the field."

"The Acropolis of Xining is so big that even a 8 army can be stationed here. What's more, we only have more than [-] people, and we have enough food, grass, and drinking water."

After hearing Lin Yuhao's words, Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Well, this plan is very good. Ai Qing said: since the first battle is a decisive battle, let's be more ruthless tomorrow."

Lin Yuhao knelt on one knee and said, "Yes, the general will obey the order."

Two days later, when Gushi Khan led the main force of the Heshuo Special Division to the camp of the forward army.

Looking at the traces left by the Ming army's shelling of the camp at night, he gritted his teeth bitterly and said, "These Mings are too cunning. I want them to look good today."

"Pass my order, the whole army goes out."

When Gushi Khan brought his army to five miles outside the Weicheng of Xining, the Ming army had already deployed defenses outside the city.

Lin Yuhao led 1 new troops from the Beijing Camp Zuowei, [-] new troops from Datong Town, [-] new troops from Xiningwei, and [-] new troops from Baoding Prefecture. A total of more than [-] people were defending outside the west gate.

This time in the battle in the Northwest, the Beijing Camp New Army brought sixteen howitzers.The new army of Datong Town and the new army of Baoding Prefecture each brought 32 new six-pound field artillery and 56 new tiger squat guns.

As for the new army in Xuanfu Town, it was all cavalry.So, they didn't carry artillery.

Lin Yuhao led his army to build three defensive lines from the outside to the inside at a distance of 24 paces outside the west gate.Among them, eight howitzers, [-] six-pound field artillery, and sixty new tiger squat guns are deployed on the third line of defense.

Each line of defense is twelve steps apart, and the third line of defense is about 150 and five steps away from the west gate.

Gushi Khan looked at the defensive positions of the Ming army in the distance, and said angrily: "These Mingju are really bold. Ben Khan led the army to come. Not only did they not surrender, but they dared to take the initiative to attack. They are extremely arrogant and desperate. "

"Come on, launch an attack immediately. Take this active attacking general of the Ming army and capture him alive."

After Gushi Khan gave the order to attack, 2 cavalrymen of Heshuo Special Department immediately launched a cavalry group charge.

They didn't know how many people the Ming army had on the opposite side, but they were confident that they could easily defeat the Ming army.

Lin Yuhao was standing in the command post on the second line of defense, and he saw the enemy attacking.Immediately ordered: "Order the tiger to squat and shoot the gun when the enemy approaches the first line of defense three hundred steps."

"The riflemen on the first line of defense must repel the enemy's attack."

Lin Yuhao's order was quickly conveyed by his guard Su Tianming.

The artillery position of the tiger squatting artillery located on the third line of defense immediately prepared for shelling according to the order.

It was Hong Xishun, commander of the new army of Baoding Prefecture, who was in charge of directing the artillery fire.

He had studied in the Zuowei Middle School of the New Army of the Beijing Camp, and he was fully qualified to serve as an artillery commander.

Sure enough, the enemy had just approached the position of the first line of defense three hundred paces.He gave the order to fire, and sixty shells accurately smashed into the enemy's cavalry group.

With the sound of explosions one after another, the forward position of the enemy's attack was emptied of more than a thousand people in an instant.

But because the enemy has already completed the acceleration, there is no way to stop for a while.

This was followed by three rounds of shelling.

Nearly 270 people were killed by shells before the enemy approached the position 4000 steps ahead of the first line of defense.

But the enemy didn't dare to retreat at all at this time, and the drums in the rear were beating loudly.

A second batch of friendly troops also launched a charge.

Retreating at this time will definitely disrupt the formation of the friendly forces behind.

Therefore, the first batch of enemies who attacked could only bite the bullet and rush forward.

But if you can rush forward, there are a large number of horse traps dug by the Ming army.

The horse trap is located 140 and [-] steps ahead of the first line of defense, and the enemy will definitely suffer when they get here.

Because the enemy is here.Not only will the horse's legs be broken by being trapped in a horse pit, but also the riflemen will focus on shooting.

The first line of defense has [-] new troops from the Beijing Camp and [-] new troops from Datong Town.

These 5000 people are all accurate marksmanship, and they have long been ready for battle.

Soon, the enemy cavalry encountered a horse trap.

The commander-in-chief of the first line of defense was Sun Yingyuan, the commander of the new Beijing army. He saw many enemies fall off their horses.Immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready to shoot."

After the order to fire was issued, two thousand Thunder rifles and three thousand imitation Thunder rifles fired immediately.

The dense rain of bullets will fall down the undead enemies.Solve them one by one without leaving anyone alive.

The soldiers who went out to fight in the city each received [-] rounds of ammunition and four boxes of Thunderbolt bombs of the Three Years of Apocalypse.

Each artillery is equipped with one hundred boxes of shells, which can be fired openly.

And because it is close to the Acropolis of Xining, you can get supplements of military rations and ammunition at any time.

Batch after batch of enemies fell in front of the horse trap, and the bullets of the riflemen shot out one by one.

Because the bullets are too dense, many enemies are hit by at least three bullets.

Falling off the galloping horse would have killed half his life.

Now he was hit by a bullet again, even if he was lucky and missed the vital point.

Rescue cannot be obtained for a long time, and excessive bleeding can be fatal.

At this time, the enemy who launched the first batch of charges had already suffered more than [-] casualties.

They still couldn't get close to the defense line established by the Ming army, which was a desperate thing.

People are prone to collapse under great mental pressure.

So, finally someone couldn't bear the fear brought about by the huge casualties.The ghost screamed and threw away the weapon in his hand, and began to steer his horse back to prepare to escape.

Someone who takes the lead will naturally influence a large group of people.

Soon the first batch of enemies who rushed up retreated across the board.

Their retreat soon collided with the second group of people rushing up from behind.

For a while, the enemy cavalry gathered together densely, and the scene was very chaotic.

Lin Yuhao has been paying attention to the enemy's movements and saw that the enemy retreated.He also collided with his own people behind him, which was a rare and good opportunity.

Lin Yuhao immediately ordered: "Tell Hong Xishun to let the six-pound field artillery fire. Put the shells in the enemy pile and smash them hard."

Guard member Sun Erbao immediately left the headquarters to convey Lin Yuhao's order to the artillery position.

After receiving the order, Hong Xishun immediately aimed all the six-pound field artillery at the enemy cavalry crowded together in the distance.He ordered loudly: "Brothers, cook a pot of steel broth for the bastards on the opposite side."

As the order was issued, 24 six-pound field guns spit out flames at the same time.

Let the shells accelerated by the rifling draw a beautiful arc in the air and smash into the enemy group.

As one shell after another exploded in the enemy group, the crowded enemy cavalry was instantly killed more than 2000 people.

In this way, after six consecutive rounds of shells smashed in.The enemy could no longer bear the huge casualties, and began to withdraw their troops.

I want to withdraw my troops, but I want to withdraw my troops, but the cavalry who launched the charge are already crowded together in a mess.It is impossible to withdraw quickly, so we have to continue to be bombed.

Finally, when the No.15 shells smashed into the enemy pile.The cavalry of Heshuo's special department began to slowly leave the battlefield.

Seeing that the enemy retreated, Lin Yuhao sent Lu Guangyi to deliver an order: the shelling can be stopped, let the enemy go back to rest first.

The cavalry under Gushri Khan's command began to charge at [-]:[-] p.m., and the whole army retreated at [-]:[-] p.m.

More than 1 people died on the battlefield, but they didn't even touch a hair of the Ming army.

Gushi Khan looked at his subordinates, who came back disheveled, embarrassed, and demoralized.

I was so angry that I almost fainted on the spot.

He is very clear about the defeat in the first battle.It was a huge blow to the morale of the army on his own side.

After Gushi Khan calmed down, he shouted in front of the whole army: "My sons, there are not many Ming troops on the opposite side. As long as we have the determination to win, we will be able to defeat them."

"This Khan hereby promises that anyone who kills five soldiers of the Ming army will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver and ten catties of mutton. Whoever kills a general of the Ming army will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver and fifty catties of mutton. The commander of the army will reward you with 500 taels of silver, [-] catties of mutton, and ten beautiful women from Ming Dynasty."

Under Gushi Khan's promise of great rewards, the cavalry of Heshuo's troops regained their morale.His eyes were fierce, and his face was full of bloodlust.

Seeing that the army's morale was available, Gushi Khan ordered: "Boys, go."

The order to charge was issued, and [-] cavalry rushed out one after another.With a fierce spirit, he rushed to the defensive position of the Ming army.

Lin Yuhao saw that the enemy had only rested for three quarters of an hour before attacking again.

He ordered again: "Tell Hong Xishun that we will not play with the enemy anymore. Let him shoot all the shells, and I will completely defeat Gushi Khan's army before sunset."

Lin Yuhao's order was quickly carried out.

The howitzer hits the enemy's main formation, the field artillery hits the enemy's cavalry, and the tiger squat gun is responsible for destroying the remnants.

In the face of absolute strength, the advantage of numbers is actually of little use.

When the shells fell into the enemy's formation one after another, Gushi Khan regretted it.

Because of his arrogance and arrogance, he blindly chose such a powerful opponent as Daming.

Having suffered a huge loss for himself, Gushi Khan now feels extremely regretful.

It's a pity that it's useless to regret it.

A howitzer shell exploded more than 20 steps away from Gushi Khan.

The shrapnel and shock waves from the shells directly tore Gushi Khan into pieces.He ended his sinful life ahead of time, and let him go to the underworld to regret it.

The coach and the coach flag were blown up to the point where there was no scum left, and the whole army was in chaos.

The cavalry of the Heshuo Special Division retreated across the board, scrambling to escape the battlefield.

But they were a large retreat of more than [-] people, and they couldn't evacuate the battlefield in a short time.

Moreover, the loud noise produced by the shell explosion.They have scared their war horses out of control.

Therefore, they can only be temporarily crowded in a small area.Awaiting his fate, he was punished by shells.

When the shells ran out, Lin Yuhao had already mounted his horse.

The new army from Xuanfu Town was all cavalry, and they came out from the south gate.Under the leadership of Lin Yuhao, a cavalry group charge was launched against the remnants of the enemy army.
