Lord of Ming Dynasty

When they arrived at the big assembly point, there was still fighting, but the situation was precarious. Many Indians had rushed into the small town at the assembly point, stormed the barracks and garrisons, and the cavalry sent out for reconnaissance fought with the Spanish cavalry many times. Driving them off, the two sides lined up outside the town early the next morning.

At this time, Luo Zuo had only 6000 soldiers except the supply camp, the pro-guards, and the prisoner regiment. The enemy had nearly [-] troops, [-] Indian tribal warriors, and other colonial troops and adventurers.

Standing on a high mountain on horseback, Luo Zuo looked calm, and finally caught the team that had destroyed countless of their barracks. Therefore, the military depots in front were not damaged, and none of the military depots in the back were destroyed.

The gunfire continued to shoot at the opponent's queue, and the opponent's artillery fire was also firing. The battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, and people were constantly knocked down on the ground. The two sides slowly approached and moved three miles away. It wasn't that Luo Zuo wanted to fight more tactically and shrewdly, but that there was no such condition. There were a large number of British prisoners and Indian prisoners in the team, and they were all placed at the front of the team, mixed with mercenaries.

These captives have to be consumed. More than half of the food and supplies are consumed. In the past, they were only allowed to work, but they didn’t have so much work, and they didn’t worry about doing other things. They go forward and give them the matchlock guns and firearms they captured. According to the previous mode of fighting in the Chinese Empire, they will be given amnesty when they come back, and they will be promoted to prisoners or prisoners will be promoted to mercenaries. There will be no ransom in the future. If they dare to steal and play tricks, Dedicated to the enemy, there are supervisors, mercenaries and soldiers of the prisoner group next to them, and there are cannons aiming at them behind them. Unless they kill the enemy, they have to weigh it if they want to rebel before the battle.

Chapter 1 Sacrifice them with blood [-]

The vanguard sent by the enemy was also Indians, followed by the British, Portuguese, and Spanish cavalry, and then the colonial adventurer cavalry, each with a quick-fire gun in their hand, and marched forward.

Tens of thousands of people from both sides met on the battlefield. Rows of bullets passed by, many people fell to the ground, and then they approached again, and rows of bullets passed by. The formations of both sides were very dense, and bullets rarely failed to hit them. middle.

Coupled with the artillery fire from both sides, the corpses within two miles of the middle of the position fell within less than half an hour, and about 2000 people from both sides fell, but the main force and regular troops of both sides did not lose at all.

The artillery of both sides had a tacit understanding and did not fight the artillery of the other side. They all fought against the Indians who were as dense as ants in front of the two sides.

The Indians are the rats in the bellows, they fight on both sides, and they can't escape on the other side. The Indians are equipped with a large number of captured matchlock guns here, but there are not many there, and the Spaniards will not equip them.

However, the road always came to an end, and when it was close to 30 meters ahead, the Indians who were not used to shooting a row of guns put away their guns and shot a round with bows and arrows, and then the Indians on both sides were strangled together.

Only then did the artillerymen of both sides turn their muzzles to the queue behind the other side. This side is full of captured artillery pieces. I don’t have many artillery pieces with me, but they are powerful. There are some old artillery pieces over there, which are solid bullet artillery pieces. After all, the colonial You can't expect how advanced artillery they will be equipped with.

After several rounds of artillery battles, the queues followed by both sides had a large gap and sacrificed a lot, and then the guns turned to the opponent's artillery. The Han artillery here personally operated the six-pounder guns they brought. Very easily, the artillery shells smashed into the enemy's artillery position, causing chaos. Many enemy artillery pieces were destroyed, and many gunners were injured. The enemy quickly began to transfer artillery fire, but lost the opportunity. Two rounds were fought here. After that, there was a haste to open fire.

The captured artillery positions deployed in front of this side were hit, the mercenary gunners were seriously injured, and even the slaves who helped carry them fled one after another. They were stopped by the cavalry and returned. The artillery positions of both sides sounded, the artillery and gunners were shrouded in gunpowder smoke, and the battle became more intense.

After two hours of fighting, the Indians on both sides were almost exhausted before they started to advance. The mercenaries of the three regiments advanced under the cover of artillery here. The Spaniards sent 2000 people, and the British, Portuguese, Colonial troops marched in, mixed with reorganized Indian gunmen and other mercenary gunmen.

More than 6000 people from both sides marched calmly on the nearly 6000 dead and wounded Indian corpses and wounded.

Both sides are veterans who have been shot by volleys of guns and have many battle experiences. They can shoot and kill the enemy while smoking a pipe, and then talk and laugh calmly, telling some dirty jokes.

Now it seems to be a battle of tens of thousands of people, but they really don't pay attention to it. The soldiers here are not those young people and descendants of nobles in Spain. They are afraid of seeing blood. The one here has not killed a few indigenous people. They also fight with wild beasts and other tribes every day. This time they are unlucky, and tens of thousands of people will die. They deserve to be involved in the war between the New Qin Empire and the Spanish Empire.

Behind Luo Zuo is a mercenary team of 4000 sent by Zhuang Lin and the Han regular army, dragging new cannons.

Knowing that the Spaniards were only walking forward, Luo Zuo sent a company of cavalry to pick them up today.

The cavalry took the local guide and the leader of the advance team to meet the troops behind.

When Luo Zuo was thinking, the battlefield had already begun to change. The regular troops of the two sides had already encountered each other and fired at each other 200 meters apart. The enemy artillery over there was beaten to pieces and had to retreat. If it hits the enemy's team, the chances of the enemy's 6000 people being beaten will almost sink a large part.

Just like the watermelon rind that has been chewed by dogs, it is pitted, and it is constantly peeled and ravaged. The Indians on the enemy's side were beaten and scattered in rows. The enemy's cavalry kept fighting the fire, but they were constantly beaten The artillery fire hit, people turned on their backs.

The Spaniards could no longer hold back their positions, and their retreating position seemed precarious and in danger of collapsing. Even the retreat of the artillery was constantly collapsing under artillery fire, regrouping, and then pulling the carriage to retreat.

Luo Zuo saw that it was almost there, and with a wave of his hand, the remaining mercenary regiment, supply battalion, and cavalry attacked in an all-round way, and surrounded them separately.

The artillerymen stopped shelling and began to disassemble the cannons, load the vehicles, and prepare to advance with the troops or return to the camp. The latter was handed over to the infantry and cavalry, especially the cavalry, because it was a pursuit.

The large assembly point over there also sent infantry and cavalry to surround and pursue.

There were still 4000 Spaniards who hadn't joined yet, and the whole team collapsed. They threw away their guns and cannons one after another, and fled, fleeing and resisting. Get up, and then the infantry behind will follow up to capture the enemy's infantry, or destroy the enemy's infantry team.

The entire battlefield was full of fleeing, gunshots, slashing, captives, and embarrassment. The army was defeated like a mountain, but Luo Zuo was on the hill, quietly watching the battlefield below, quietly waiting for the victory to come .

The battle lasted until late at night, when Luo Zuo arrived at the assembly point, the town was almost in ruins, surrounded by a large number of corpses of Indians and colonists from various countries, and there were also many corpses in the camp, and they had already begun to rot. It has been several days, and the battle started on the second day when they swept up the Indian tribes. The large assembly point returned many soldiers and officers from the fleeing military depot, as well as the surrounding Indian tribes supporting them, as well as some French colonists. .

The New Qin Empire generally maintains a friendly relationship with France, this is because Li Ya considers not to offend everyone.

Although they may also conflict with the French in the future, because there are French colonies around Xindingzhou, and there are some conflicts with the French, but the main conflict is with the British immigrants. Xindingzhou has already occupied three islands, and occupied the territory of a state in the United States in later generations. The territory has reached a width of [-] kilometers, and it has jumped out of the peninsula and set foot on the mainland.

It's just because where it is relatively barren, most of the places are dense forests, lakes, mountains, and wild land with cliffs, so the conflict with the British has not yet been the most intense, but the conflict between the French and the British has become more and more intense, and Some French people became immigrants from the British colonies, where the British immigrants attracted criminals from various countries in Europe to seek gold with a kind of magical prosperity.

Chapter 2 Sacrifice them with blood [-]

Entering the barracks at the assembly point, compared to other places, Luo Zuo still believes in the barracks. In the barracks, there are the local indigenous chiefs of this market, the logistics second lieutenant of the market, the garrison lieutenant, the cavalry communication sergeant, and the artillery second lieutenant, as well as the military depot The various officers who escaped.

The ranks of the soldiers of the New Qin Empire are the same as those of the Chinese Empire, Private, Fourth Class, Third Class, Second Class, First Class, Corporal, Sergeant, Sergeant, Sergeant, Sergeant Major, enough for a soldier to serve for 20 years Soldiers were assigned many times during the period, just like a sieve, those who did not want to be soldiers, those who were not suitable for soldiers, those who failed in various skills, or those who failed the assessment were screened layer by layer, selected, and then Send ordinary and ordinary, excellent, and excellent soldiers up.

The first selection of private soldiers for one year made people screen out those who were physically and physically unqualified, dawdled, and had no will to serve as soldiers.

From the first month, the newly recruited soldiers were sent out of the barracks one after another, and they were asked to find another way of life. Even if the management of the Huaxia Empire was lax due to various reasons, after the recruits' one-year training was over, they would fight together and arrange for them to retire. , and then everyone else turned into a fourth-class private and became a real soldier.

Among the recruits, the instructor is a corporal, and the chief instructor is a sergeant.

The fourth-class soldier below is the squad leader, and the deputy squad leader chooses an excellent one. The deputy platoon leader is a fourth-class soldier or a third-class soldier. The third-class soldier is the official platoon leader. The company commander is a private or private, the battalion staff officer is a private or a corporal, the chief of staff is a sergeant, or the chief instructor is a sergeant. The chief is a sergeant or sergeant.

Further up, the sergeant is the general staff officer in the regiment, the sergeant is the chief of staff or the sergeant chief of staff, but the regimental deputy may be a sergeant or a formal second lieutenant who has been sent down for training, or a promoted warrant officer or reserve second lieutenant. The head of the regiment is a second lieutenant, formally a second lieutenant.

This second lieutenant must be a second lieutenant who has been trained in war, or has enough qualifications, and has studied well in school. He must have experienced a war on the battlefield.

The team of the new barracks generally has nothing to do with them, just training, and sometimes participates in some simple tasks of guarding prisoners, transporting and escorting supplies, standing on the street, and guarding the city. Their main task is to learn, various queues, discipline, and The explanations of various battle lines involve the cooperation with the navy and army, and when they cooperate with the marines, what tasks do they undertake? In case of becoming a soldier of the security garrison, what a real soldier will do in the future is equivalent to a theory Learning, plus physical training, skills training, but they are all just to the end, and further learning must be promoted to a soldier in the security garrison.

Because the recruit camps of the New Qin Empire and the Huaxia Empire existed with regiments as combat units. In the recruit camps, there were civil officials from the Ministry of War in charge of food, supplies, artillery logistics, and the operation of the camps; A civilian official in the dynasty and previous dynasties. There are several deputy directors who are used to govern various things. The Ministry of War has official positions.

The fourth-class soldiers will stay for two years, and they will be promoted to third-class soldiers after three months of outstanding performance. After that, they will only be promoted in rank and level. Promote, let him be promoted to a second-class soldier, directly transferred to other barracks, and mixed with second-class soldiers, first-class soldiers, and corporals.

They call it the reserve, the vigilante battalion.

The security garrison battalion means that after becoming a fourth-class soldier, they will become real imperial soldiers, but their experience is not enough to go to the battlefield. Therefore, the battalion composed of the fourth-class and third-class soldiers is called the security garrison. The same as the new barracks, it also operates in regiments, but the officers are different.

Their fourth-class soldiers are like students who have just graduated from junior high school and have passed the senior high school entrance examination. They will be greeted by two cruel years. During these two years, they will be stationed in various places in the country, and they may be transferred. Going to overseas territories, guarding the interior of overseas territories, not borders and other places. Of course, most places in overseas territories are not safe. They are ready to accept the moment of death at any time.

The fourth-class soldiers of the public security garrison are soldiers, the outstanding fourth-class soldiers serve as squad assistants, and the third-class soldiers are squad leaders. Third-class soldiers who have been trained by war and are ready to be promoted can also serve as deputy platoon leaders or second-class soldiers.At the same time, the second-class soldier is the platoon leader, the second-class soldier or the first-class soldier is the deputy company commander, and the first-class soldier is the company commander.

A private first class can be a trainee staff officer, a corporal is a battalion staff officer, a corporal can also be a battalion chief of staff, a sergeant is an official battalion chief of staff, a sergeant is a battalion commander, a sergeant is an instructor, a sergeant major is the chief instructor, and a sergeant is also a general The chief of staff is a sergeant major, the deputy head is a warrant officer, or a reserve second lieutenant, or an official second lieutenant, and the head of the regiment can be a second lieutenant or a lieutenant, usually a lieutenant.

It can be seen that the pattern of the soldiers below is the same, but when it comes to the command level, the recruit battalion has a group of veterans who have experienced wars and made contributions to teach and lead, and the security garrison also has this pattern, and the officers at all levels are slightly different. But in general, each level is one level higher than the new barracks, and the head of the regiment is the lieutenant.

These mercenary regiments led by Luo Zuo and the Han regular army were at least second-class soldiers, selected from the new barracks and the domestic security garrison, and promoted step by step to ensure that the soldiers were all elite soldiers who had undergone complete teaching and hard training.Some excellent third-class soldiers can also be selected into the regular army, that is, the next level is almost entirely composed of first-class soldiers and second-class soldiers, combat troops, and regular troops.

First-class soldiers and second-class soldiers are the real regular army troops, who have experienced the training of defending overseas territories and have experienced the baptism of war, or they will participate in every battle and experience real battles and the dangers of defending overseas territories areas, or pursue the enemy, and guard the most dangerous places on the border.

In the regular army, the excellent third-class soldiers are the lowest. Second-class soldiers and third-class soldiers are mixed. It is to assist the company commander to teach the soldiers, lead the soldiers to fight, or make suggestions. The warrant officer is the deputy company commander, or the reserve second lieutenant is the deputy company commander, and the company commander must be the second lieutenant.

In the battalion, the second lieutenant is the general staff officer, the sergeant is the trainee staff officer, the sergeant major is the senior staff officer, the chief of staff is the lieutenant, the deputy battalion commander, and the captain is the battalion commander.

In the regiment, the sergeant major is the intern staff officer, the warrant officer is also the intern staff officer, the reserve second lieutenant is the general staff officer, the second lieutenant is the senior staff officer, the lieutenant or captain is the chief of staff or the deputy head of the regiment, and the major is the head of the regiment.

Chapter 510 Sacrifice them with blood 3

The New Qin Empire did not have a larger organization, and fought in regiments.

The above can appoint a lieutenant colonel to command the strength of a regiment, plus the staff and supply battalion formed by the lieutenant colonel, and various additional arms, such as artillery and cavalry, to form a force directly under the lieutenant colonel no less than a regiment, but the main combat is The tasks of this regiment, the specific tasks are assigned by the major.
