Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 278 Fighting Daling River Again 1
After three volleys of guns fell, one-third of the Xibo Flying Cavalry fell, proving once again that the modern army is indeed an extremely bloodthirsty beast, and its killing efficiency is far beyond that of the feudal era army.Seeing the venomous snake-like tongues of flames once again bursting out of the slow gunpowder, Xibo Feiqi almost lost his soul, turned his horse's head at the same time, and fled... This battle cannot be fought, and they made it clear that they would exchange lives with them, one for another , only the Xibe with a population of tens of thousands can compete against the Ming Dynasty with a population of hundreds of millions?It takes more than ten years for an elite cavalry archer to train, but the Tianxiong Army only needs a few hundred rounds of lead bullets to train a musketeer. It takes a little more than a year. ?

Seeing Xibo's flying cavalry fleeing, the Ming army cheered resoundingly. Qian Yu stepped forward and asked for orders: "My lord, let the general take the hussars to the battalion and kill them all!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "No need..."

It is really unnecessary, because Cao Bianjiao has already rushed forward with more than three hundred drooling cavalry. With him in the lead, Guan Ningjun screamed as if he had heard the starting gun, and rode his horse to kill him. Even the belt bone was swallowed in one gulp, and the hair didn't spit out!But the Xibo Flying Cavalry was really hard to deal with. Even though the Tianxiong Army's platoon guns shot their souls out of their bodies, they still kept calm. When they saw the Ming Army cavalry chasing them, they threw a sharp arrow towards the rear without saying a word. , and then there were screams, and the pursuing Ming army shot arrows one after another and fell off their horses.The Xibe people are a famous archery nation. They have been with horse bows and arrows all their lives. Among them, the best archers have set a record of riding a galloping horse and shooting three arrows in a row, hitting the bullseye of three archery targets 100 meters away at the same time. This record It was created in the early Qing Dynasty, and it has not been broken after 300 years. It is conceivable that its riding and shooting skills are amazing.

Qian Yu shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, the tactics of the Guan Ning cavalry were too bad. So many people swarmed up and formed a group. Isn't it like letting them be used as targets for shooting!In addition, the excellent war horses of the Xibo people also made him salivate. The war horses of the Hussar Battalion are no match for them. If there is a chance, they must be snatched!

The faces of Zu Dabi and Zu Dale also changed from sunny to cloudy. Damn it, the Xibe people were so careless in front of the Tianxiong army, how did they become so difficult to deal with when they met them!They secretly looked at the Tianxiong army, and saw that the Tianxiong army was standing still. The military doctor ordered the civilians to carry the wounded and dead soldiers to the center of the phalanx for treatment. The wounded soldiers gritted their teeth and kept silent. Absolute silence.The two brothers looked at each other and sighed together.

This is the gap.

Zu Dale rode his horse and came to Lu Xiangsheng.After witnessing the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army with his own eyes, this fierce general of the Guan Ning Army treated Lu Xiangsheng a little more politely, and even said with a warm smile, "Congratulations, my lord, on the victory!"

Lu Xiangsheng cupped his hands and said, "It's all thanks to the help of your army that Tianxiong's army has achieved a small gain. I also congratulate the general for winning the flag and gaining a lot."

Zu Dale smiled wryly: "My lord, don't embarrass us. You have seen our ability. If you hadn't smashed the enemy's offensive with thunderous momentum, we don't know how many people we would have been shot to death!" He pointed to the smoke and dust raised by the escaped Xibo Flying Cavalry, and said: "The dispatch of a large number of Flying Cavalry means that the main force of the establishment of slaves is nearby. My lord, what should we do? Should we take advantage of the victory to pursue or stop first, set up a stronghold, and find out the enemy's situation?" move on?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "First set up camp and build a stronghold."

The army stopped the pursuit and deployed the defense line.The soldiers and civilians cut down trees from the forest and began to build the camp.They first dug countless irregular horse traps at the front of the position. Once the legs of a galloping horse were sunk and [-]% broken, the horse would be useless.After digging the horse pit, three trenches four feet deep and nine feet wide were dug... For the post-golden cavalry with excellent riding skills, it is not difficult to jump over such trenches, but the difficulty is, damn it The Tianxiong army pushed all the excavated soil to the side close to the camp, forming a five-foot-high earth wall. Rows of very sharp wooden stakes were inserted on the earth wall to remind people who tried to jump over by flying horses. Cavalry: This road is blocked!
The first trench encloses the entire camp, and the second and third trenches extend in all directions like spider webs, leading to the camp. Soldiers guarding these trenches can jump into the trenches if they see that the momentum is not good. , Withdrew to the next trench, or directly withdrew to the camp.

Behind the three trenches is a full three-story deer village, up to 20 meters thick. For cavalry and infantry, these deer villages are a huge trouble, making it difficult for them to move an inch.Behind the deer village is a tall and strong fence, which is the camp of the Ming army.Under the guidance of Lu Xiangsheng, the Ming army relied on the terrain to build five camps in one go. Each camp was no more than an arrow away from each other, which could form crossfire and support each other. If you want to gnaw down such a camp, you don’t know how many people will die. !

When the civilian husbands and engineers were in full swing, more and more post-golden cavalry appeared, constantly attacking the defense line of the Ming army, looking for weak links.The Ming army responded calmly, and the six thousand Guanning cavalry took turns to go into battle, charging back and forth, without letting the Jin cavalry gain any advantage.After fighting for a long time, it was almost dark, and the two sides called for gold to withdraw their troops. Afterwards, the golden cavalry disappeared from the sight of the Ming army, and the Ming army retreated into the camp one by one, lit a fire to cook, and prepared to fight again tomorrow.

In the vast twilight, Huang Taiji reined in his horse and stood on the hill, looking at the Ming army camp with clairvoyance.Seeing that the Ming army built such a strong fortress in only half a day, all the queen generals were amazed. This efficiency is too high!Dai Shan carefully looked at the layout of the Ming army's camp, and frowned: "Who is leading the Ming army this time?"

Abatai said: "According to the detailed report, what kind of bird is famous and right? Lu Xiangsheng is a civil servant."

Dai Shan said in a deep voice: "If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely become a serious problem for my confidant!"

Abatai didn't care: "He can only be regarded as a bit capable. Is there any need to exaggerate? Give me 1 people, and I can level this camp overnight!"

Huang Taiji turned his head and glared at him, and said, "The camp was flattened overnight? I'm afraid your 1 horses are all dead, and I don't know what happened!" anger.

Abate was taken aback, and he didn't dare to say anything more, but he was obviously dissatisfied.

Yue Tuo stared at the interlocking trenches and deer villages, and said, "This big camp is tough!"

Abatai muttered: "How many fortified cities and iron fortresses did the Ming army build outside the pass? Didn't my big golden iron cavalry turn them all into powder? It's nothing more than a few trenches and a few layers of deer villages. It's worthwhile to grow others' ambitions and destroy their own prestige." ?"

Yue Tuo shook his head: "This statement is wrong! You see, the trenches dug by the Ming army piled up the earth on their side, and built a wall of earth, plus wooden stakes, up to seven or eight feet high. My Golden Cavalry cavalry No matter how good you are, you can’t fly across with a horse…”

Haug said: "We can charge with dead soldiers, destroy their fortifications, and clear the way for the cavalry!"

Yue Tuo said coldly: "It is said that the firecrackers of this Ming army can penetrate two layers of iron armor in fifty steps, if they put a team of firecrackers behind the earth wall, how many dead soldiers can we have enough to die? "

As if to prove what Yue Tuo said was true, the Ming army camp blew the horn, and the brigade of musketeers in red moved along the trench to behind the three earthen walls and set up their muskets.

Hauge fell silent for a moment.The reloading of the firecrackers of the Ming army was slow, but the dead soldiers in heavy armor moved even slower. Sending dead soldiers to charge the battle, isn't that going to die?
Mang Gurtai ran over, this guy was sweating profusely, his spirits were high, obviously he had enjoyed the fight just now.Huang Taiji asked: "How good is this Ming army?"

Mang Gurtai said: "Not weak! Zu Dabi and Zu Dale are leading the Guanning cavalry. Both of them are brave generals who dare to fight my big gold iron cavalry in the wild. Dajin Batulu was rivaled, head-to-head, Zhenglan Qi didn't take advantage of it. The most difficult thing to deal with was their infantry, daddy bird, thousands of pikemen lined up in layers, just like hedgehogs, No matter how our cavalry shoot, they will not move, their musketeers reload quickly and shoot accurately, and every salvo will cause many casualties to the warriors!"

Abatai yelled: "No matter how our cavalry shoot, their pikemen will not move?"

Mangurtai said: "Yes, they stood there motionless and let us shoot. No one ran away, no one shouted. There were thousands of people, all of them were dumb! And their gunners were also shot by us. They shot down one after another, but they didn't seem to notice, they just lowered their heads to reload and launch... They are not fighting at all, but exchanging lives with us!"

Hou Jinzhong Baylor's complexion changed slightly, and he finally understood why Dai Shan said that if Lu Xiangsheng was not eliminated, it would be a serious problem for Da Jin's confidants. If every Ming army fought like Tianxiong's army, how many warriors Hou Jin would have enough for them to consume of?Not to mention exchanging one for one, even three for one, it can wipe out only 10,000+ young and strong Houjin to extinction!

Damn it, how did Daming have such a perverted army!

When they say abnormal, it is because they haven't fought against Wuyang Guard yet, after they have fought against Wuyang Guard, they will find that compared with Wuyang Guard, this abnormality of Tianxiong Army is really nothing...

"Their armor is also very good. Within fifty paces, our light arrows cannot penetrate their helmets at all, and sometimes they cannot even penetrate their breastplates. However, their limbs are not protected by iron armor, only a layer of leather armor , Maybe it was to keep flexible. Many Ming soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground were hit by arrows in their limbs... Their firecrackers are very poisonous, and they are specially aimed at the chests of warriors. When people fall down, they are already dead. The hands and feet are also seriously injured, and some warriors’ arms were even torn off by lead bullets, leaving only a little oily skin attached!" Mangurtai continued to report to everyone His discovery, this is the information he exchanged for three or four hundred lives—of course, the smart Mang Gurtai would not use the warriors of the Zhenglan Banner as cannon fodder, and he would use them as guinea pigs Yes, the unlucky Mongols.

After listening to his report, Huang Taiji said thoughtfully: "It seems that the real enemy is this flying army in red..."

The crowd took it for granted.

Huang Taiji looked serious: "Pass down the general order: Without the order of Ben Khan, no attack on the Ming army's camp is allowed. Those who disobey the order will be killed even if they win!"

All the generals shouted in unison: "Cha!"

"After the Ming army left the camp, the Xianghong flag immediately blocked their retreat. The Xiangbai flag was on the left, the Zhengbai flag was on the right, and the Xianghuang, Zhenghuang, and Zhenglan flags were lined up on both sides of the Daling River. The Guanning army can be spared. But be sure to wipe out the red-clothed flying army, and not let a single person escape!"

"twitter!!!"
