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

The terrifying power brought by the cavalry charge completely frightened the already desperate enemies into madness.

They had long since lost their weapons in tattered clothes, and now they saw a large group of cavalry charging towards them.

They gave up resistance, or ran around crazily.Or just stand there, staring blankly, waiting for death to come.

For them, death in battle is tantamount to liberation.

No longer need to be bombarded by shells, and no longer need to watch the companions around me die one by one.

This one-sided fight didn't end until the fourth quarter of Xu time.

After confirming that there was no enemy to be found on the battlefield, Lin Yuhao ordered: "The infantry will clean up the battlefield, and the cavalry will guard the surroundings."

Then Lin Yuhao rode the red rabbit horse he had exchanged from the super system, and returned to Xining Acropolis to report the battle situation to Emperor Tianqi.

Outside the temporary imperial study room, Lin Yuhao took off his bloody helmet and battle armor.He handed the bright silver Yajiao gun to Zhao Dalong who was behind him, then looked at the little eunuch guarding the door and said: "Please also pass on a message from your father-in-law, Jingliao Marquis Lin Yuhao is here to meet the saint."

But before the little eunuch went in to ask for instructions, Emperor Tianqi's voice sounded in the imperial study: "Aiqing has worked hard, come in and have a rest."

Lin Yuhao bowed to the imperial study room and said: "Yes, the general will obey the order."

Since the Song Dynasty, the Northwest Frontier Army has all pursued a passive defense strategy.The lack of awareness of active attack has led to the need for reinforcements from the imperial court every time there is a big war.

Going forward from Xining Acropolis is Zhangye Acropolis.

And the Acropolis of Zhangye is the Acropolis of Jiuquan, even after the reform of the new army.There is still no army stationed there, and there are also herdsmen from the Heshuote tribe who have settled there.

Twenty miles away from Jiuquan Acropolis, there are two large defensive piers: Dingxi Fort and Anxi Fort.

These two piers are stationed by the garrison under the Zhangye Acropolis.The troops include: an infantry battalion of [-] soldiers, an artillery battalion of [-] soldiers, and a cavalry battalion of [-] soldiers.

Equipped with four six-pound field guns and twelve new-style tiger squat guns, it has extremely strong self-protection capabilities.

But even with such firepower, these two piers still dare not take the initiative to send troops.Drive out the herdsmen of the Heshuote tribe living there, and recover Jiuquan Acropolis.

For this kind of inaction, Lin Yuhao thought it was too funny.At the same time, I also feel that it is time to change the combat strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army.

Lin Yuhao knelt on one knee and cupped his hands to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, great victory. Gushi Khan died in battle, except for a few of his army who escaped. Most of them were wiped out outside the Acropolis of Xining. Now the soldiers are cleaning the battlefield .”

After hearing Lin Yuhao's words, Emperor Tianqi clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, that's great. Aiqing commanded well, and the soldiers and soldiers will use their lives. After returning to Beijing, I will reward you for your merits."

Lin Yuhao kowtowed and said, "The last generals and soldiers, thank you for your majesty's grace."

Lin Yuhao continued: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, the subject has a statement."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Aiqing is alive, so let me tell you something quickly."

Lin Yuhao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the combat strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army must be adjusted."

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Northwest Frontier Army has always been a passive defense. It never takes the initiative to attack the enemy, and relies heavily on the reinforcements sent by the imperial court."

"This time, Gushi Khan's soldiers invaded the border of our Ming Dynasty and penetrated more than [-] miles. The troops stationed on the border, except for self-protection, had no intention of taking the initiative to attack at all. As a result, most villages in the territory were destroyed by the enemy and the population was plundered. More than [-] people."

"Therefore, I suggest that you adjust the combat strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army, so that the Northwest Frontier Army will have the awareness of taking the initiative to attack. The greatest role of the army is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to protect the environment and the people."

After hearing Lin Yuhao's words, Emperor Tianqi nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, the combat strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army must be adjusted."

"In this way, I will issue an imperial decree to you. You will take it to Zhangye Weisuo City to read it out. At the same time, I will send another person to adjust the combat strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army. Spread it throughout the Northwest Defense Line. If anyone violates it Dismissed from office."

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's strong support for him, Lin Yuhao knelt on one knee again and said, "Yes, the last general leads the order."

Afterwards, Lin Yuhao resigned to Emperor Tianqi and left the Imperial Study Room.

On September 16th, 6000th year of Tianqi, Lin Yuhao led 4000 left guards of the Beijing New Army, 4000 cavalry from Xuanfu Town, [-] Baoding New Army and [-] Datong New Army.

A total of [-] troops marched towards Zhangye Acropolis.

On September [-], after arriving at Zhangye Acropolis.

He read the imperial decree of Emperor Tianqi to Jiang Xiang, the commander of the new army in Zhangye Weicheng and the general soldier of Ganzhou.

When Jiang Xiang heard that the Holy Majesty was determined to reform the combat strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army, she was very excited.

In fact, since the war began.To say that the most depressing person in the war was him, the general soldier of Ganzhou.

The enemy did not attack Ganzhou, which is a major garrison of their own, but bypassed Zhangye and went straight to Xining.

This gave him a headache as the commander-in-chief, he wanted to fight but didn't dare to take the initiative to attack.

I am afraid that after the escalation of the war, it will be out of control.As a result, he was impeached by the court and the censors.

Therefore, under the thought of being wise and safe.Jiang Xiang chose to leave Ganzhou and stationed in Zhangye Acropolis, which he was in charge of.

Although there are [-] troops stationed in Zhangye Acropolis now.But he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and could only stare blankly at the cavalry of Heshuo's special troops wreaking havoc in the surrounding villages.

But now it's different, Jingliao Hou came with His Majesty's imperial decree.The northwest frontier army was allowed to take the initiative to attack and beat the enemy when the enemy entered the border pass.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiang began to introduce the situation near Zhangye Acropolis to Lin Yuhao.

Now it's around here, according to the information sent by Ye Bushuo.

There are still more than [-] enemy remnants who returned from the defeat in the Acropolis of Xining, while in the Acropolis of Jiuquan there are [-] enemy troops and more than [-] civilians.

The commander-in-chief of the [-] enemy troops was the third son of Gush Khan, and his task was to guard the retreat of the army.While looting the surrounding villages, they provided food and grass for the army ahead.

After understanding the situation, Lin Yuhao made a decision.

Jiang Xiang led the army to destroy the [-] remnants and defeated generals by attacking Jiuquan Acropolis by himself.

At three o'clock on the twelfth day of the ninth month, Lin Yuhao led his army and went straight to Jiuquan Acropolis.

Jiuquan, the most important satellite launch base in China for later generations.

Lin Yuhao visited here once when he was six years old.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Jiuquan again.But he led the army alone and came here to fight.

At [-]:[-] noon, Lin Yuhao had already led the army to a place six miles outside Jiuquan Acropolis.

The army marched fast all the way, and they carried rations that could replenish their physical strength at any time.

At this time, the soldiers of the whole army did not feel tired at all, and their combat power was at its peak.

When troops were sent to attack the Acropolis of Jiuquan, Lin Yuhao pulled eight howitzers, sixteen six-pound field guns and 28 new-style tiger squat guns.

The Acropolis of Jiuquan fell into disrepair for a long time, and the plateau cavalry were not good at defending the city.

Therefore, Lin Yuhao didn't intend to besiege on all sides.

He only deployed 640 riflemen at the position [-] steps ahead of the artillery position, responsible for blocking possible active attacks by the enemy.

As for the siege, it was all left to the artillery.

What Lin Yuhao believed in was the principle of supremacy of firepower, and things that could be solved with shells.Why let the infantry charge and waste bullets.

When they came out this time, the soldiers carried 750 rounds of ammunition, and each artillery was equipped with [-] rounds of shells.In addition, in order to cope with the harsh climate in the Northwest.

Lin Yuhao also asked his army to carry enough field rations and drinking water for fifteen days.

Not to mention the Acropolis of Jiuquan was taken down, even the Acropolis of Dunhuang behind it could be taken down.

About a quarter of an hour later, the artillery position was properly arranged and began to adjust and shoot the elements.

At this time, the enemy troops guarding Jiuquan Acropolis.They also found the Ming army in the distance, and began to prepare for battle urgently.

Their idea is to defend the city first and repel several Ming army attacks.Then send cavalry out of the city to fight and completely wipe out this Ming army.

It's a pity that they think too simply, they don't know what they are about to face.It is covered by a rain of bullets composed of thousands of shells, the real justice from heaven.

Artillery Commander Hong Xishun saw that the howitzers were ready, and immediately ordered: "Every artillery is ready, five rounds are fired rapidly. Get ready, let go."

After the order to fire was given, the eight howitzers let out a roar of steel.

Under the cover of howitzers, sixteen six-pounder field guns advanced a mile.

Five miles away from the Acropolis of Jiuquan, artillery shells were also fired at the Acropolis of Jiuquan.

After an hour of shelling, 260 shells were thrown at Jiuquan Acropolis.

Lin Yuhao issued an order to stop the bombardment: "Send the order, stop the bombardment. The infantry rushed to me and wiped out the remnants of the enemy."

As soon as the shelling stopped, the seven thousand riflemen deployed in front immediately launched a group charge.

The riflemen formed a skirmish line and quickly approached Jiuquan Acropolis with a gap.

At this time, Jiuquan Acropolis was bombed by shells for an hour.There were not many survivors for a long time, and those who survived by chance were even powerless and dying.

It took only half an hour for the army to rush into the city, and the Jiuquan Acropolis was declared restored.

The riflemen who cleaned the battlefield complained while cleaning the battlefield: "The artillery brothers are too ruthless. After bombing for half a day, we left less than 700 infantry alive."

"As a result, many of us didn't get any military exploits."

After cleaning the battlefield, Lin Yuhao led the army to move on.

Set up camp ten miles away from Jiuquan Acropolis, as for Jiuquan Acropolis.Jiang Xiang will send generals under his command tomorrow to be in charge of guarding.

At two o'clock on September 16, [-], after avoiding the bad weather on the marching road.

Lin Yuhao led the army to a place fifteen miles outside Dunhuang Acropolis.

There will be Jinyiwei secret agents lurking nearby early in the morning, sending him military information about the Dunhuang Acropolis.

As soon as Lin Yuhao sat down to rest in the tent of the Chinese army, a member of the guard came to report: an officer of the Hundred Households of the Jinyiwei, begging to see the Marquis of Jingliao.

Hearing that the messenger came, Lin Yuhao immediately let him into the tent.

After seeing Lin Yuhao, the Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei knelt down on one knee and said, "Gao Yingxiang, the undercover agent of Jinyiwei, pay homage to Lord Hou."

Hearing this person's name, Lin Yuhao was startled.

who?Gao Yingxiang? !Isn't that one of the leaders of the uprising army during the Chongzhen period?Now he actually joined Jinyiwei and became an official of a hundred households.

Surprised but surprised, Lin Yuhao still had an expressionless face on the surface and said: "Gao Baihu is free, just give me the information."

Gao Yingxiang stood up, took out a scroll from his carrying document bag and handed it to Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao opened the scroll and began to read the information recorded on it.

According to intelligence, there are [-] troops stationed in Dunhuang Acropolis.It is the last living force of the Heshuo Special Department, and the leader is the eldest son of Gushri Khan.

In addition, there are more than [-] civilians who have long settled in the city.

The city hoarded enough military rations for 10 people for a year, and there were more than [-] spare war horses.

From Lin Yuhao's point of view, there are a little more enemies.That is to say, the stronger ants are not their opponents at all.

After reading the information, Lin Yuhao looked at Gao Yingxiang and said, "Gao Baihu has worked hard all the way, go down to receive the reward and rest."

Gao Yingxiang bowed to Lin Yuhao and saluted, "Yes, thank you Lord Hou for the reward."

After Gao Yingxiang left, Lin Yuhao walked out of the camp and looked towards the Dunhuang Acropolis in the distance.

After stopping to watch for a while, Lin Yuhao returned to the tent.Start to write the letter and send it to the rear to report to Emperor Tianqi.

At four o'clock on September [-], the army continued to march after breakfast.

Just like outside the Acropolis of Jiuquan, the artillery was used directly to resolve the battle.

By the fourth quarter of the unitary hour, the remaining enemies in the Dunhuang Acropolis were completely wiped out.The Acropolis of Dunhuang declared its recovery and returned to the control of the Ming army.
