Lord of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Qiang rubbed his forehead and shouted, "Let Gao Hui take over the [-]th New Cavalry Brigade, there is no need to come back."

The fourth new cavalry brigade was formed in a hurry by Zhang Qiang after the Battle of Raozhou Prefecture. The first cavalry brigade was led by Huang Tao. The Second Cavalry Brigade and the Third Cavalry Brigade were led by Brother Zhu.

The fourth and fifth cavalry brigades are led by promoted professional officers.

Now that Gao Hui has not completed the task, Zhang Qiang can only ask him to lead the Fourth Cavalry Brigade.

When Tong Dawei came back from Li Dingguo, Zhang Qiang was going to hand him over to lead the Fifth Cavalry Brigade.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qiang felt that it would be better for Ma Han to lead the First Cavalry Brigade.

Let the second cavalry brigade be handed over to Bagyaru. These young men all have potential, and they are all personal guards and elite soldiers trained by themselves.

In the future, the newly reorganized cavalry brigade will use these young people.

Let the old henchmen lead the field brigade, and the young men lead the cavalry brigade.

In this era, the cavalry is the tank of later generations. Although there are cannons, matchlock guns, and flintlock guns have been developed by ourselves, and flintlock guns have been replaced in the Guards Brigade, the shooting and firepower density of these guns cannot completely stop the cavalry. Charge, some raid battles, after the cavalry brigade has arquebus and saber, it is also quite sharp.

Even during World War II in later generations, the five hundred Cossack cavalry of later generations also raided two thousand Soviet infantry. The Soviet infantry during World War II was a Bobosha submachine gun equipped with a 71 bullet drum, and a Czech light The army with machine guns and maybe heavy machine guns, the five hundred cavalry should not be able to pose much threat to them at all, but they won the battle and wiped out two thousand Soviet troops.

My thoughts turned back to the matter of young people serving as the cavalry brigade. The intelligence officers trained by Milin are all good. When the time comes, Wang Chong will come back to lead the new sixth cavalry brigade, Zhang will lead the seventh cavalry brigade, and Zhao Hu will lead the new six cavalry brigade. Eighth Cavalry Brigade, if there are young men, let them lead the remaining two cavalry brigades.

Zhang Qiang felt that ten cavalry brigades combined with twenty field brigades and two guard brigades could form an assault group army to attack the Qing army in any direction.

But what Zhang Qiang noticed was the strength of the Qing army. When he looked at the information carefully, Zhang Qiang found that the cavalry of the Qing army was even stronger, and the Qing army was still more powerful.

Even Horqin, Khalkha Mongolia and Chahar Mongolia were fighting hard. The Qing army needed to help them and sent Jurchen Manchu cavalry, but the Qing army still had a lot of cavalry.

There are more than [-] people. The Horqin Mongolia sent [-] reinforcements, the Khalkha Mongolia sent [-], the Jurchen cavalry of the Qing army had [-] troops, the banner cavalry of the Han army had [-] cavalry, and the Liaodong Guanning cavalry of the Ming army There are also eight thousand, this is the green cavalry.

It seems that the Qing army still understands that even though Zhang Qiang defeated the Qing army with firearms several times, the Qing army still did not completely give up their strengths, mobility, crowd tactics, not only increased cavalry, but also increased their strength. Those troops may be watery, but in fact they are still more than the Huaxia Army.

Finally, Zhang Qiang saw a disturbing news.

Tian Bin said in the intelligence that Hong Chengchou paid special attention to digging trenches, repairing parapets, and rationally deploying the number of cannons and arquebus guns during city defense fortifications.

This, this, is this a positional battle when you are playing a battle with yourself?

Sure enough, you can't develop too fast, and you can't communicate with the enemy. Now the enemy has also learned trench defense.

Hong Chengchou is really a fine man.

Even though their matchlock guns were not as far and fast as the Huaxia army, but with bows, spears, and other arms, the Qing army had a numerical advantage, and it was possible to contain the Huaxia army's fierce attack.

Zhang Qiang rubbed his forehead, oh my god, the war below is getting more and more difficult.

Half a year later, the Qing army has caught up step by step.

What should I do myself?

Perhaps those captured soldiers of the Huaxia Army could not allow the Qing army to obtain a complete Huaxia Army military system, but it is still possible to learn a pentagram. The intelligence also said that they got help from the Portuguese, which is even more worrying.

Zhang Qiang wondered if he should turn around and dispatch troops to destroy the Portuguese first.

They can't be allowed to be so unscrupulous any longer.

Damn Portuguese.

Chapter 375 What's the result?

Hong Chengchou, Feng Quan, and Aobai looked at the soldiers of the Qing army who were practicing below.

To be correct, it is the soldiers of the Han green battalion and the Han army banner. Manchus don’t bother to walk around on the ground like that. It’s boring and monotonous. It's not as good as the loud singing that attracts the girls on the other side of the mountain, who are also chic and happy singing love songs in harmony.

Even after several major defeats, they were all defeated by the guns and artillery of the Han people, which was extremely tragic, but they still believed that the horses under their crotches and the bows and arrows in their hands were the real weapons to defeat the enemy. The spirit of fear of death, those Han people, ran away in fright when they saw themselves, how could they have the courage to fight against them?

In the two biggest battles, the Han people with such sharp firearms didn’t suffer heavy casualties, and were there still people captured and killed?

Therefore, the Manchu soldiers would rather hide in the tents and wipe their swords, relax the bowstrings, feed the war horses, or go to the street to see the good-looking Han women. In this kind of place, I heard those Han poor ghosts howling all day long, sweating profusely under the supervision of Fangui.

The Qing army was trained by Portuguese regular soldiers, musketeers and jousting hands, as well as heavy infantry, Portuguese pikemen and heavy infantry, sent by the Portuguese Governor Siro.

Geshou is equivalent to Fang Tian's painted halberd in ancient China. It is different from a spear. The spear head is placed up and down. It is a hook and an axe. It can hook the enemy's cavalry, or chop down the enemy's cavalry with one axe. It can be chopped or cut. Stabbing can also seduce people. It can be said that once it is brought into the Qing army, there will be bursts of applause.

The three types of arms are matched with each other. After only three months of training, the Qing army is impressed. Two thousand soldiers of this new army actually defeated tens of thousands of rebel troops who betrayed the Qing army. The relatives and generals were all overjoyed. The new army has 28 people, including auxiliary soldiers, there are as many as 32. If it is counted as other Qing troops, there are as many as 50. With such a force and combat effectiveness, even Both Hong Chengchou and Feng Quan were full of confidence, feeling that the Qing army would surely win the upcoming battle.

Obai watched the new army retraining expressionlessly, but he felt no joy in his heart, because Dorgon is now in power, and there is nothing he can do to suppress them, the Haoge family, Daishan When he got old, Hauge was sent out to fight in Ganshan, Huguang, and Sichuan, and he was also sent here.

Jierhalang and Manggurtai fought endlessly in Guangxi and Huguang. No one in the court could resist Dorgon's oppression. Although he fought with Azig, he still divided his troops to other places and worked on his own He has made contributions to the Qing Dynasty, but he knows that if this situation continues, he will not end well.

A few days ago, he was secretly happy to hear that Dorgon was seriously ill. Emperor Shunzhi secretly looked for him, contacted him, and wanted to let them support him after Dorgon left, but in a blink of an eye, Dorgon was alive and well. Went on a safari.

To be honest, he has no feeling for the army in front of him, because in front of the Jurchen cavalry, nothing can resist, as long as the assault is timely, the distance of 100 meters, such a musket with a low hit rate, is like an itching for the cavalry Same, in ten seconds, his cavalry can rush to these sissy new troops, just like the Ming army who used firearms before, they will only collapse, like a group of cowardly sheep, being caught between white mountains and black waters The warriors slaughtered.

He squinted at the two Han officials, Hong Chengchou and Feng Quan, who were full of joy, and raised the corners of his mouth in disdain. He had no feelings for the Han people, unlike Dorgon, who treated these Han people with courtesy and respect, and humiliated the Jurchens.

He heard Hong Chengchou asking Feng Quan, "How is it?"

"Compared with the Huaxia Army's team, does such a team have a chance of winning?"

"Yes, I didn't take it seriously before, but now that I look at such sharp weapons, I've seen it. Such strange skills and ingenuity can be used as military weapons, and they can be used to kill hundreds of meters away. Those artillery are even more decisive. In addition, it is like a dragon singing and a tiger roaring, it can be said to be a terrifying killer."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and continued his words: "It's a pity that such sharp firearms were first used by the Taixi ghosts and barbarians in the barren land, and then our opponents, the Ming people, who learned the skills of the Taixi people. It is really hateful and pitiful to use firearms and tactics against one's own nation."

Ao Bai snorted coldly in his heart, "Who is of the same nation as you? Our ancestors were the golden men who once defeated your famous general Yue Fei. They are just low-level serfs who only know how to farm and read books, and at most they can recite poems and paint pictures, the kind of useless work that is not suitable for eating or drinking."

It's a pity that Hong Chengchou and Feng Quan couldn't hear his heartfelt voice, and they also knew that he couldn't be of one mind with them. Apart from complimenting him on the surface, they had no speculative words to say to him.

Feng Quan asked Hong Chengchou, "My lord, I heard that Master Fan has returned safely. I wonder what happened to the envoy to Lu?"

Hong Chengchou squinted at Oboi who was not far away, and whispered to Feng Quan: "Successful, Zheng Chenggong is in power, just like his father, arrogant and unreasonable, Zhang Huangyan, Lu Zhenfei and Zheng Chenggong are in harmony on the surface, but secretly they are fighting endlessly. They want to fight against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, actively train the sergeants, and stand ready for battle, but they have no money and are unable to go north to attack the Qing Dynasty. It seems that since Zheng Chenggong heard the words of Zhang Qiang, the governor of the Huaxia Army, there is an overseas land with a vast territory. Occupy, I am excited, build ships, deploy troops, explore where I want to go, and independently establish an overseas kingdom."

"Oh," Feng Quan was stunned, "is there such a place? Then don't we have to explore it, occupy it, and expand the territory, which is our ambition."

Hong Chengchou stroked the beard on his chin, and said with a sneer, "Who knows if it's the nonsense that Zhang Qiang blackmailed Zheng Chenggong, the pirate's son? Zhang Qiang, who doesn't know now, is just provoking troubles everywhere, fearing that others will not be chaotic, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic." A good man, a treacherous man."

Feng Quan nodded slightly, "The next official checked this person's past affairs and business experience, and found that it was in line with what the adults said. This is a traitor and an ambitious guy. It may be an expediency to fool Zheng Chenggong that he no longer causes trouble behind his back." The plan is, now that his Huaxia Army is confronting us, the last thing he wants to see is to be in a dilemma, and now in Nanming Kingdom, Longwu has not been attacked by Prince Jierhalang and Mangur Taibele. Kong Youde is staring at us, Ma Degong has repeatedly harassed us, we can't leave, we can't pose a threat to the Huaxia Army, and now the Huaxia Army has only one enemy."

"That's why Mr. Fan wanted to instigate Lu State to attack the Huaxia Army behind his back. Unfortunately, the two major forces of Lu State could not pose a threat to the Huaxia Army. Master Fan returned sadly and failed to achieve his due goal." Hong Chengchou sighed helplessly. Answer in tone.

"It's a pity, but didn't Master Hong still send Xi Zuo to disrupt the Huaxia Army? How about the results of Xi Zuo's activities?"

Chapter 376 It Turned Out to Be a Frustration in the Wind

Hearing Feng Quan's question, Hong Chengchou's eyes were gloomy, his face was moldy, and he said very dejectedly: "The Huaxia Army is like an iron barrel, like a foreign barbarian land, where it is difficult for small workers to survive."

"Why?" Feng Quan couldn't stop his curiosity, and asked casually, completely ignoring the identity of his subordinate.
