Lord of Ming Dynasty

"No, no, the skill given to you this time is completely suitable for you, the lord of the wisdom and charm flow. A war eagle that allows you to check the real-time situation on the battlefield can fly thousands of kilometers and report the facts on the battlefield to the you."

This is good news, Zhang Qiang suddenly became excited again.

Being able to keep abreast of the situation on the battlefield does not take a few days or half a month to get the situation on the battlefield. It will be too late to adjust the deployment at that time. The price of remote command is the same as that of Lao Jiang in the Republic of China. The army was defeated and became a transport brigade, which benefited the enemy and harmed itself.

By the way, he slapped his head, why didn't he think of it? Since thousands of years ago, there have been stories and battles of flying pigeons in ancient China. Why didn't he think of such a situation? The news is reported to the rear, and the rear uses carrier pigeons to direct the secret operations in the front, so that the secret operations can inform the army how to move and where the enemy is. Isn't that great?

I forgot about this myself.In a short while, Milin must be recruited, and he must immediately establish a carrier pigeon system to increase the efficiency of the Military Intelligence Department. Otherwise, the battle or information from thousands of miles away will be transmitted through intelligence agents, and it will take four or five days at least. If there is a corresponding intelligence station, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, at most half a month or a month. If it is in Sichuan, it may take three to four months.

The intelligence agent is likely to be ambushed by robbers, soldiers, and unscrupulous shopkeepers on the way, causing the intelligence to completely lose contact. The place of Four Mountains has been fighting for many years, and it is barren and desolate. There are no people for thousands of miles. It's hard to pass on information when you're starving.

With the carrier pigeon information system, although it is possible for the carrier pigeon to be caught by the eagle, you can put a few more, and there will always be one who can pass on the information.

Miscalculation, now to organize such a system, it will take about one to two years to cover the whole country, but in the southeast and southwest, it is very easy for the Huaxia Army and the Nanming Kingdom to occupy the land. It takes about two months to use the ready-made system. If it can be paved, there must be people who raise pigeons among the people, and by the end of the year, the intelligence systems in the southeast and southwest will be rolled out.

The carrier pigeon intelligence system plus its own war eagle can increase the efficiency of command operations to within two to three days, and the situation in many places will not change much, unless there are special circumstances, such as Feng Shuangli in Wuzhou Prefecture. I don’t know his current situation. What's the situation? Has the city been broken and killed?

"How can I operate the war eagle?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Warhawks need to consume mental points. Every time you dispatch a battlefield thousands of miles away, you need 24 mental points, and it is very demanding on your body. If you are not mentally strong and your physical strength can't support it, you can't operate a warhawk. Otherwise, the time and distance you stay in the air will be reduced. , now you have five mental points, and your physical fitness can support the war eagle to stay in the air for [-] hours, are you sure to release the war eagle?"

"Then when Zhanying needs to report the situation to me, how should I accept it?" Zhang Qiang asked the system instead of answering.

"You just need to hide in a room and close your eyes to see the situation on the battlefield through the eyes of the war eagle." The system replied.

"Can you take my instructions to the generals at the front?" Zhang Qiang thought of Feige passing on the letter, and tied his own letter to Zhanying's leg for Su Zhengqing and Li Guangdi.

"No, your system functions cannot be exposed, so you have to use intelligence agents to deliver messages, or you can use carrier pigeons to deliver messages after your carrier pigeon system is established." The system replied.

Zhang Qiang was very helpless, it was just a reconnaissance plane to let him know the news of the battlefield in time.

But this is not bad, at least it’s better than waiting here for a few days, relying on guesswork to command the war, I am not a famous general in ancient times, I can completely rely on imagination, feel the pulse of the enemy, predict the enemy’s next move, and then act accordingly Prevention, this can also make up for the lack of military command. After all, I have never learned advanced battle command. I used to rely on playing related games and relying on the advanced musket tactics of later generations to crush the enemy with strength, but this There is always a time when your experience is exhausted.

Or the enemy will become more and more powerful, familiar with your way, the ancients are not the big fools that the later generations think, they can be played around by any traverser.

Hong Chengchou was very good at learning. If he hadn't wanted to reduce losses and deal with the enemy's huge human force, he would not have allowed Nanming to go first and mobilize the enemy's forces.

Zhang Qiang handed over the things around him to Mi Chun and his personal guards, turned around and went back to his bedroom, opened the window, drank tea, sat in the Taishi chair and looked at the scenery outside, and gave instructions to the system, "The war eagle is starting, the goal is Wuzhou Mansion .”

Chapter 432 Nanming Beacon 13 - Fleeing

In the sky above Wuzhou Mansion, there is a sharp-eyed, sharp-mouthed, powerful wing that stirs the air vigorously, lifts its huge body high, and hides quietly under a cloud, its head is turning, and its eyes are fixed on the battlefield. Every corner, like a drone carrying a holographic camera, conveys every detail of what happened on the battlefield to Zhang Qiang.

When did the Nanming army resist so strongly?

The whole battlefield seemed to be burning.

There are about a hundred cannons firing on all sides of the city. The city wall has collapsed in many places, and more places are collapsing under the artillery fire. Even many places in the city were hit by the shells flying in. The houses collapsed. Running in a panic.

The artillery fire stopped after an hour, and countless Qing troops rushed to the city wall from all directions. Many Nanming troops were busy cleaning up the wreckage on the city wall. The troops of the Ming army ran from the city to the city wall, or the gap in the city wall, desperately moving stones and soil, putting them in the gap to block the gap, and the gap recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the Qing army was not idle and bombarding the city wall with cannons. Some Qing army cavalry rushed close to the city wall, bowed their bows and set up arrows, and poured a wave of arrows at the Ming army at the gap.

The gaps are very irregular, and some are high and some are low. The horses can't be surrounded by potholes, boulders, and city wall bricks. Such a complex terrain rushes down to the gap in the city wall and jumps in from the gap. The gap is too high. Well, some are as low as two meters, and some are as high as three meters, which cannot be crossed by horses. The purpose of the cavalry is only to hit the Ming army defending the city, and then let the infantry behind them attack the gap.

They wanted to suppress the Ming army, and the Ming army was not a vegetarian. Soon some people counterattacked with bows and arrows. After all, the cavalry had strong mobility and ran around the city wall. The bow and arrow counterattack at the top of the city did not work. Only three or two cavalry were unlucky to be shot down. , Then the Ming army on the city wall was enraged, a row of arquebus guns fired several rounds of volleys, the cavalry fell off their horses, and then ran to a further place in panic to avoid, they did not complete the task of suppressing the Ming army who blocked the gap .

After the artillery fired, they had to retreat to a farther place. Anyway, they couldn't enter the city gate, they couldn't jump into the gap, and there was no need to die.

About one tenth of the cavalry fell off their horses or died in battle, and then the Qing infantry rushed up.

Swords, guns, swords and halberds, everything is available, and a short ladder is also carried.

There were especially many Qing troops in the east of the city, but the Ming army in the city obviously didn't know it. They transferred their soldiers to the west of the city. The Ming army in the west of the city had already started hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.

This time it is the real Qing army, the Han army flag, which is particularly fierce.

Many of them came up with axes, picks, and shovels, as if they would not stop until they dug down your city wall.

On the one hand, they were carrying ladders to attack the city, and on the other hand, they were digging under the city wall. The busy Ming army was overwhelmed.

The bows and arrows of the Ming army on the city wall were swayed together, rolling wood and rocks, and some people even picked up the blown city wall bricks and threw them at the Qing army below.

Persisting for more than half an hour, seeing that dozens of Qing troops jumped into the gap and were about to kill the Ming army at the gap, more Qing troops broke through, and a group of Ming troops turned out from the alley, pushing a few small doors. Cannons, regardless of the gap, was a bombardment, and the gap was cleared immediately, all the Qing troops fell, all the Ming troops fell, and then a group of Ming troops rushed out, waving knives and guns Climbing up the city wall and reoccupying the gap, the other team was arquebus troops.

All dressed in reddish-brown coarse cloth, with the words Musketeer written in black letters, and a white matchlock pattern in the shape of a matchlock gun printed on the back.

This gap was blocked, and the other gaps were still fighting. Musketeers ran quickly along the city wall to other places, and then fired their guns. The Qing army below collapsed. Some retreated and made a comeback again. Simply retreat and rest far away.

However, the gap in the east of the city did not stop because of the arrival of arquebus soldiers and small cannons. More Qing troops rushed up, made a surprise attack with bows and arrows, and then confronted each other with matchlock guns. The cold weapon troops rushed up again, climbed the gap, and dug the city wall.

When the battle was in full swing, piles of corpses piled up under the city wall, and the corpses of the Ming army kept falling or being pushed down on the city wall, and then new soldiers took up positions and continued to fight against the Qing army.

In the blink of an eye, the Qing army had been attacking for several hours. The Ming army, which was short of troops, could not defend against the Qing army. Several gaps in the east of the city were occupied.

Zhang Qiang's war eagle was watching from above, and he didn't know much about the inner movements of the subordinate generals.

In the city, Feng Shuangli was already preparing to retreat.

He has already suffered heavy losses in this battle. Of the [-] elite soldiers, only [-] new troops, [-] cavalry, and [-] remnants are available.

In the mansion, he put on his clothes, walked out of the mansion that had been entrenched for several years with his personal guards, looked back, then stepped on his horse, and headed towards the west gate with the last of his troops.

He has already figured out the west gate. It is the enemy's false attack force. The real main force is at the east gate. At present, the east gate has not been lost except the city gate, and all other gaps have been lost.

He sent the [-] remnant soldiers in his hand, hoping to plug the gap and delay the time for the enemy to take down the city gate.

Simon, he came here, ordered [-] of the [-] new troops to counterattack from the gap, led the [-] soldiers who were still standing firm, and [-] young and strong counterattacks, and then joined him one mile outside the city gate.

The city gate opened, and he led hundreds of soldiers guarding the gate, a thousand new troops, and two thousand cavalry rushed out like a tide, and then killed them all the way. The enemy receded like a tide, and he rushed a mile outside the city gate. Only then did they get rid of the horses, boulders, and trenches that hindered the enemy's attack that they had set up.

Then he swung his army to attack the second line of defense at 3000 meters, and the defeated soldiers followed him all the way. The Qing army, who had no idea that the enemy would counterattack, retreated and retreated.

The new troops pouring out from various gaps in the west gate city wall fired and converged towards Feng Shuangli's side. When Feng Shuangli arrived at the first trench five miles away, he laid down a fort occupying the gap in the main road. , There were two thousand new troops, and one thousand soldiers still followed him. The Qing army who reacted quickly mobilized troops to chase and intercept him from all directions.

Seen from a high altitude, the Ming army fought fiercely to escape, and the Qing army also ran desperately to intercept the Ming army. The Qing army even sent arquebus troops to intercept.

When Feng Shuangli stopped six miles away, there were only [-] new troops and [-] cavalry around him, and the others were blocked on the road. On the opposite side, a phalanx formed by several hundred Qing troops was waiting.

Feng Shuangli hurriedly organized his team, preparing for the final battle. If the enemy could not be defeated soon, the cavalry of the Qing army arrived, and he would be finished.

Chapter 433 Nanming Beacon 14 - Battle

Facing Feng Shuangli's escape from the Southern Ming Army was an old battalion general that Kong Youde arranged here, and he was Kong Youde's confidant. He brought 1 soldiers of Kong Youde's new army, and was equipped with [-] gold-modified arquebus guns imitated by Kong Youde's department. There are also [-] matchlock guns bought from the Nanming Army. These [-] matchlock guns are [-]% new matchlock guns sold by the Huaxia Army to the Nanming Army.

They fell into the hands of other armies, and some generals of the Nanming Army sold them for money. This is unstoppable.

Kong Youde bought a total of about 1 Jinkai 1 second-hand matchlock guns, and [-] newly produced Jinkai [-] matchlock guns sold by the Huaxia Army to the Nanming Army. As export weapons, of course the quality is not as good as the matchlocks equipped by the Huaxia Army. shot.
