Lord of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 452 Meeting Obai 4

The 3000 Green Battalion troops in front and the [-] troops dispatched by the civilian husbands have already approached the enemy. He took out the copper telescope from the Portuguese. In a far away place, seeing people moving five miles away, the specific actions can basically be understood differently.

Taixi people are smart, and they can make a few pieces of colored glaze like this. He thinks Taixi people have half the ability of Manchu shamans.

In the distance, [-] troops are speeding up and rushing towards the enemy. The enemy seems to be in a panic. It was his cavalry charge, one charge, and the enemy was defeated.

He wanted to consume the enemy, so he did not use his elite Manchu cavalry.

At 150 meters, as long as the cavalry increases their speed, even if the enemy has firearms, it is impossible to respond in just a dozen breaths, and even if the loss is only a few dozen cavalry.

According to his thinking, if there are more than 1 people, he will lose dozens of cavalry on his own side when shooting arrows, but if the cavalry is close to five or sixty meters, the cavalry will dismount and shoot quickly and accurately. After one round, the enemy's front troops will collapse. , Almost a thousand soldiers of the enemy can be killed at once, so that the enemy's morale will definitely be unstable, and then brave the enemy's sparse bows and arrows, and shoot two more rounds of bows and arrows, the enemy will be scattered, and then charge on horseback, one charge, the enemy's front line will inevitably collapse.

Then the Qing army can drive these lambs away, make the enemy fearful, and directly attack the enemy's central army. If the enemy's central army is in chaos, the battle will be considered a victory, and the cavalry that will be thrown behind will continue to pour into the enemy's formation. Disperse the resistance organized by the enemy's generals, drive the enemy to flee, slash and kill the enemy indiscriminately from behind, and then send the Mongolian cavalry up to make a few laps, and the enemy is defeated.

But soon, he frowned. The enemy did not shoot arrows. There were no archers in the front line of the enemy, but musketeers. It's not that he has never fought in the Shenji Battalion of the army. He fired a few rounds of firecrackers, and even bows and arrows didn't have the lethality.

Bows and arrows can still kill dozens of soldiers, but this kind of firecracker may take three rounds, and several parties may not even have a single wounded, waiting for their own soldiers to rush into a distance of 30 meters.

The soldiers who finished firing the guns will run to the rear of the enemy, and then come up with spearmen and shield soldiers. At this time, the cavalry can pass the dismounted cavalry from the rear, rush directly into the enemy formation, and slaughter wantonly. The Ming army collapsed faster than the Ming army with bows, arrows and knives.

The Huaxia Army was nothing more than that. He sneered at Hong Chengchou even more. This kind of Ming army is not a regular Ming army, but it made them frightened. They spent more than half a year gathering troops. If he had, he would have crossed the river and wiped out the Huaxia Army.

"Look again." Even if he despises the enemy so much, he will not make a decision lightly before the battle is fully started. Sometimes his muscles and bravery, and his recklessness are tricks to deceive people. He knows how to be more cautious than those famous generals How to write the word, Jurchen's previous strength is weaker than the Mongols who conquered the Song Dynasty. In many cases, the Qing army used absolutely inferior forces to fight against the absolute superior forces of the Mongols, which made him feel confident in every battle. Be very careful and prudent, plan well, and strike with all your strength.

He raised his head and looked through the binoculars at the enemy's central army in the distance. The Xiao flag was flying high, which proved that the enemy's leader was not here. He felt a little regretful. Xiao Fei, he had heard from Hong Chengchou and Feng Quan that it belonged to the Huaxia Army. A strong general, but killing such a strong general does not match the results he needs as the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty. What he wants is the head of the thief, Zhang Qiang.

Only then would he be able to personally go out to supervise the battle and lead the troops to charge. At this moment, he didn't even bother to move. He used cannon fodder to consume the enemy, and then charged with the Han army flag, which was enough to deal with the enemy in front of him.

No matter how bad it is, the Mongolian cavalry sent to him by Hong Chengchou and other Manchu soldiers who are not under his banner can also deal with the opponent's generals. Anyway, those people are also under Dorgon's banner, and he has always treated Dorgon Don't catch a cold, he is a Manchu, loyal to the emperor and the descendants of Huang Taiji, not a traitor like Dorgon, who usurped the throne and seized power.

At 130 meters, he heard the roar of the enemy's artillery. This sound made him feel uncomfortable. The leader of the Jurchen, the chief, Nurhachi died under the red cannon of the Ming army. He also has a natural sense of fear of the cannon. .

He didn't hear the crisp gunfire of the matchlock gun mixed with the roar of the cannon, because he was too far away from the battlefield, more than five miles away, and he only had a vague overview.

He could only see that the Han Chinese cannon fodder troops were flustered and at a loss, but the officers of the Green Battalion behind them pressed down with all their strength.

He thinks this is normal. If those troops don't panic, he will consider whether there is something wrong, whether someone wants to betray the court, because if those guys don't panic, it proves that the Manchu suppression of the Han people is not enough. Good work, they are as timid as mice, and their fear is in line with his expectations.

Driven by the officers of the Green Battalion, those people ran forward quickly. The Huaxia Army's position was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the wind was blowing this way, which also obscured Oboi's sight, making him unclear about the battle on the front line. The true situation.

The Ming army has more and more artillery, and the Ming army has more and more muskets. This is his feeling, but he still thinks that the Huaxia army is vulnerable.

On the front line, the real situation is that as the artillery fires every one and a half to three minutes, dense arquebus bullets hit the young and strong bodies of the green battalion and civilian husbands on the front line of the charge.

These people died from dozens of people at the beginning, and then hundreds of people died in a row, and then they were wrapped in gunpowder smoke. This is also why they don't understand what happened tens of meters away, and feel that the people who died on their side are not Not many, and the green battalion officers of the supervising team hacked and killed the panicked soldiers one after another. They were afraid of such a supervising team and ran into the gunpowder smoke one after another.

In the smoke of gunpowder, they didn't know how they survived. They just saw the partners around them fall one by one, in pieces, while the enemy was far away. When they were running forward, at a certain distance, they felt When they were about to get out of the gunpowder, they also fell, and the ones behind continued to rush in recklessly, and then continued to fall. Finally, they found that there were more and more corpses under their feet, and it became more and more difficult to move forward. Without reacting, many people He fell down with such regret.

But the officers of the Huaxia Army on the opposite side knew very well that the enemy did not cross the 120-meter line at all. Many people fell at the distance of 2 meters to 150 meters under the intensive firepower of Jin Kai 120 matchlock guns. Quickly, they just rushed to the distance of 100 meters, and then they were named and killed one by one by the rifled fusiliers who were specially watching.

The Huaxia army fought more and more smoothly, and the panic at the beginning became without the slightest psychological fluctuation. Just like the instructor told them, just shoot like a target as usual in training.

Chapter 453 Meeting Obai 5

"Stop shooting,"

"Stop shooting,"

"Stop shooting,"

The Chinese soldiers who were hiding behind the gunpowder smoke were caught off guard by the constant transmission of passwords. They were having fun, but the higher-ups asked them to stop shooting, but they still heard the enemy's charge and screams in the smoke. Why did they stop?

The Huaxia Army is the same as before. They always advance while fighting, or retreat while fighting. Even with granules of black powder, every time tens of thousands of people fire, the smoke at the front is still too large, which affects the sight of the shooter. In the past, they could adjust it, but now the officers who command them tell them to shoot like they usually shoot targets, regardless of whether they can hit the enemy, salvo, one shot, one shot in one direction, as long as they shoot into the smoke Bullets will do.

The reality is that the effect is so good that Merlin Yu and Brother Zhu soon discovered that they wasted too much ammunition, the enemy in the smoke was basically knocked down, and the enemy did not invest more troops to charge. The Huaxia Army soldier Bai It was embarrassing to fire a few rounds of salvo and consume at least tens of thousands of bullets and tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder.

The two were very annoyed, and immediately ordered to adjust the rhythm, backed out of an open space, and waited for the smoke to dissipate.

As the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, Xiao Fei held up the binoculars and looked carefully. There was silence in the formation of the Huaxia Army in front, and the camp of the Qing Army in the distance was also silent, only the screams of some wounded who were not completely dead in the middle , the voice gradually became louder, and became miserable. Even though he was several miles behind, Xiao Fei could vaguely hear the screams and wailing in front of him.

This is a kind of spiritual torture for the soldiers in the formations of both sides, not to mention the blow to the morale of the Qing army, and the morale of the Huaxia army. If one day, the enemy treats me like this, then I Will it be as miserable as those green camps and civilian husbands in the middle, who are young and strong?

Aobai's hands were trembling. Of course he also saw the battle ahead. His central army had been advancing all the time, and now it was only three miles away from the battlefield, 500 meters away. Maybe the naked eye couldn't see clearly, but alone The binoculars have been able to clearly see the tragedy of the battlefield.

Miserable, tragic, maybe he is not worried about the death of these Han soldiers, but seeing how miserable the Han soldiers are, can you imagine if they are Manchurians?

None of the soldiers ran five or sixty meters away from the enemy's front to shoot arrows, not even horses. The farthest soldier only ran to more than 60 meters before being shot dead.

That was [-] soldiers, who were slaughtered like pigs in less than half an hour.

Aobai bit his lip, and said to the guards beside him: "Send the new army in that town up, send all the cannons up, arrange [-] Mongolian cavalry on the left to attack the enemy's artillery, and on the right, arrange cavalry from the Green Battalion and the Han Army Banner to attack the enemy's left. The terrain is complex, and the enemy's formation doesn't look as dense as in other places, let me penetrate their left wing, and then sweep across from the left wing to the middle, and we must destroy the enemy's new arms."

Just as the personal guards were about to deliver the order, Obai called him back, "Put the remaining soldiers from the green battalion and civilian husbands, and the captured civilians into a big formation, and line them up in front of the new army, and let them attack The enemy's team, let the new army send cavalry to supervise, and the new army takes the opportunity to bully the enemy's front line."

Obai is not an idiot. He heard from Hong Chengchou that the muskets and cannons in his troops were all imitated from the Huaxia Army, and their range and power could not be compared with others, so he sent cannon fodder troops to continue to interfere with the enemy and consume the enemy's bullets and cannons. Gunpowder, and then let the new army go up and attack the enemy.

The very traditional tactics of the Qing army were very practical. The Qing army used this method to open up many fortified cities that were heavily guarded by the Ming army, and many of them were fortified cities with tall walls like Nanchang Mansion.

Seeing that the Qing army continued to send people up to serve as cannon fodder, Mei Linyu and Brother Zhu also felt headaches. These are all Han Chinese, and the Qing army is really nothing. This is sending their sins to the Huaxia army. They are not from later generations. Zhang Qiang, for the common people of Ming Dynasty, those soldiers who betrayed the Han court and surrendered to foreign races have no feelings at all. In Zhang Qiang’s eyes, those Han people who often regarded themselves as their own countrymen after going abroad, but ignored their own blood. , but you have become a scum who resolutely opposes China. Compared with other people, you are more xenophobic, reject Chinese, and look down on Chinese people. Zhang Qiang is very angry and doesn't treat them as human beings at all.

In their eyes, those who are forced to do so are all Han compatriots and common people. If the fight continues like this, on the territory of the Qing army, the Huaxia army must be the devil, must be morally corrupt, and must be a foreign race, not Han. Treating the Han people in this way, the Huaxia Army, as the court country of the Han people, will inevitably become the devil on all the territories occupied by the Qing army and will be demonized.

Seeing the Huaxia Army on the battlefield so stunned, watching the enemy deploy troops and arrange troops, Zhang Qiang was so angry that he didn't go anywhere, and immediately sent messengers to give Xiao Fei an order, "Move, don't want to see The Huaxia army lost and was defeated, kill those Qing soldiers for me, whether they are Han or Manchu, this is a war, not a play, you have to make adjustments according to the enemy's arrangement."

The battlefield was in an open area outside a county town tens of miles away from Changsha Mansion. Zhang Qiang's messenger quickly delivered Zhang Qiang's order within an hour. Xiao Fei quickly transferred Zhang Qiang's order to Merlin Yu and Brother Zhu at the front. .

Although the two were unwilling to slaughter Han compatriots, they had to carry out their orders. The military discipline of the Huaxia Army was very strict. If they dared to disobey, the Ministry of Military Intelligence and the personal guards would immediately remove them from their positions and replace them with their deputy.

The two of them don't want to lose their newly promoted positions as commander-in-chief. The highest rank in the field brigade is lieutenant general, the highest rank in the cavalry brigade is general, and the artillery brigade is garrison. They have a huge field brigade, so they are promoted As the commander-in-chief, at this point, if it were Daming, it would be invincible, but there are admirals and higher positions in the Huaxia Army, and they still want to be promoted.

I don't want to be removed now, and then transferred back to the rear to take up a idle position and thrown into the Ministry of War. It would be so embarrassing. The Huaxia Army is an army that is proud of its military exploits and leadership positions. That is falling out of favor, and people lose a lot.

But at this time, the Qing army has been oppressed by the army, and the adjustment cannot be made too large. If the team is confused during the adjustment and affects the firepower output, then the battle will be lost, so the two retreated 100 meters in unison. Let the guns and artillery have room to play, and also give the enemy room to attack, otherwise the enemy will just trudge through the pile of corpses of 5000 people in front, and the formation is scattered, which is not conducive to the Huaxia Army's fire salvo to achieve results .

Seeing the Huaxia Army retreating, the formation was a bit chaotic. Because of the terrain, some queues were even divided into fragments. The Qing army felt that the Huaxia Army was afraid, so they quickened their pace, urging their comrades around them to speed up their pace and get out of the quagmire as soon as possible. A typical dead zone full of dead bodies.

Seeing the new troops following behind the enemy, the artillery of the Huaxia Army opened fire first, attacking the enemy's troops at a distance of more than 800 meters. Now, the Qing army's new troops were not feeling well, even the artillery following on the two wings.

The depth of their battlefield is only 800 meters, and they are all shrouded in the artillery fire of the Huaxia Army. Speeding up their pace, or retreating, retreating beyond the enemy's artillery fire, so that they can escape the torture of this enemy's artillery fire is their only choice. It is impossible to retreat, only to move forward.

The artillery of the Qing army also opened fire, and they could also hit the Huaxia Army's formation at a distance of 800 meters, so the Huaxia Army would inevitably be bombarded.

The artillery of the Huaxia Army resolutely counterattacked.

Chapter 454 Meeting Obai 6

The cannons of the Qing army can hit the Huaxia army, but some small cannons and heavy medium-sized artillery have to follow the troops, because they are the attacking side, and they have to find a favorable place to arrange artillery positions, or push them to the front of the Huaxia army to fight. It is the defensive side, the artillery does not need to move, the shooting distance and coverage area have been calculated, and each starts to bombard the Qing army.
