Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

In this world, there is never a perfect military branch.

Naturally, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy.

Fighting has always been about seeking breakthroughs through "change" and seeking ways to win through constant testing.

Seizing the enemy's flaws and magnifying them until they finally become the key to victory is the only principle of a general.

This principle holds true for all countries.

Regardless of ancient or modern times!

If facing an infantry charge, the cavalry usually takes a detour to attack the infantry rear formation.

Because the protection behind the buttocks is the weakest!

This is why when the infantry charges, cavalry is used to hold down the left and right positions.

This is the most effective way to prevent the opponent's cavalry from harassing the infantry.

Xialong Mountain is naturally free of charge.

……

across the river.

Mao Bijiang put down his binoculars, and the smile on his lips was so obvious.

He casually handed the binoculars to the guard captain and turned to look back.

Thirty trebuchets, which still smell of wood pulp, have been arranged in place.

Although it is the simplest human-pulled trebuchet, its range is only about 30 feet.

but……

enough!

Mao Bijiang looked at the bonfires behind him.

Suet is being boiled there...

Jars of warm grease have been placed next to the brand-new trebuchet.

This thing just found from Hu Xinshui's army became Mao Pijiang's new weapon.

And the soldiers holding ten thousand enemies were also ready.

This is a "new battlefield".

Because this is a revision of Mao Pijiang's original plan.

……

Xia Longshan's army marched slowly but firmly.

Each piece of caltrops was picked up by the infantry.

Xia Longshan sneered at the corner of his mouth:

Wu Na Ming General actually thought of a new trick!

Hey!

Do you really think that this general is a three-year-old child?

This caltrop can only be used once - because the infantry is completely defeated!

Seeing that Erlang had stepped onto the ice, Xia Longshan shouted:

“Follow closely!

Be closer!

Hold on tight, hold on tight!

When we reach the other side, put all my troops on me and I'll tear off Ming Gou's head! "

Under Xia Longshan's command, the already tight formation became even denser.

A large number of Qing soldiers were crowded on the ice layer that was more than 20 feet wide.

Looking around, there are already more than twenty triangular flags representing a group of soldiers (112 people).

Even among the cavalry, half of them had already stepped onto the ice.

The front of the Qing army was only two or three feet away from the river embankment opposite!

……

Wang Shengyin put down his telescope and turned to Mao Pijianghui to report:

"Dusi, there are already more than 3000 Tatars stepping onto the ice!"

Mao Bijiang raised his right hand and shouted:

"put!"

The sergeant holding the banner suddenly waved the flag in his hand in a circle and pointed diagonally forward.

Beside the hastily made simple trebuchet, a dozen soldiers shouted slogans and pulled the rope with force.

The crossbar with a horse corpse tied to it as a counterweight passed the center point and fell fiercely toward the ground.

The soldiers let go of the ropes they were holding.

"Hoohoo!"

The leather bag made of horsehide, pulled by the huge force, suddenly lifted into the air and flew towards the sky.

When the rope was stretched to the extreme, the leather bag was pulled fiercely by the crossbar again.

Thirty warm clay pots roared and flew towards the Qing army.

"not good!"

Xia Longshan's expression changed drastically:

"The Ming army has trebuchets!"

His eyes were wide with disbelief on his face.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, thanks to the rapid development of firearms, the trebuchets that reached their peak in the Song Dynasty were gradually replaced by more flexible and powerful artillery.

This former great weapon has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

Like the trebuchet, the eight-ox crossbow that dominated the world in the Song Dynasty in the past has also gradually faded away.

……

Xia Longshan was stunned.

Seeing the goat-sized "boulders" falling from the sky, Xia Longshan felt his hands and feet were cold.

How could he imagine that?

Who is the bright general opposite who is wearing the flag with the word "risk"?

Why did the trebuchet, which had disappeared for more than two hundred years, reappear on the battlefield?

Just when Xia Longshan's thoughts flashed, thirty huge "stones" had already hit the dense crowd.

"Puff puff!"

At the same time as a series of explosions, dozens of soldiers were hit on the spot with their heads bruised and bleeding, and fell to the ground.

"General, it's not stones, the Ming army is throwing water cans!"

Just when Xia Longshan was about to give up, someone started shouting.

Xia Longshan took a closer look and saw that indeed there were only dozens of unlucky guys who were hit on the spot and turned into corpses!

Akito's "giant rock" has such little lethality!

"Hahahaha!"

Xia Longshan laughed!

"Wu Na Ming General, Guizhou Donkey's skills are exhausted!"

If it was a boulder thrown, there was really nothing he could do.

Because of the huge kinetic energy of the trebuchet, the stones will keep rolling in the army under his command.

Every stone can crush an alley of flesh and blood...

This is a heavy weapon that is not inferior to artillery!

……

The only disadvantage of the trebuchet is that it cannot be turned in quickly, and at the same time, it requires too many operators.

Only then was the artillery forced to "retire"!

……

Xia Longshan laughed.

It's just ridiculous that the general threw the clay pot!

"Hahahaha!"

Xia Longshan was overjoyed.

If he throws flying rocks, he really has no choice but to risk his life!

even……

I'm afraid I have to retreat!

However, that Ming general named Mao actually threw a clay pot?

If the clay pot falls on the ground due to the hard ice, it will shatter into pieces.

Lethality - almost none!

"Keep moving forward, let the men raise their bucklers to defend!"

Xia Longshan stopped running.

He found a way to deal with the Ming army's trebuchets.

"Also, push the infantry cannon up to me so that the gunner is always ready!

As soon as you get close to the shooting range, fire immediately! "

Xia Longshan ordered loudly.

The infantry artillery he was talking about was a type of Franco machine artillery.

It is also the so-called Hundred Jin Folang Machine.

The muzzle of this thing is only the size of an egg. Although the rate of fire is extremely fast, because the Folang machine is a breech-loaded cannon, the sealing is not good, and the infantry cannon is too small, so the range is only a few dozen steps.

However, once the Folang machine equipped with several sub-guns is within the range, it is an invincible "rapid-fire heavy weapon."

This kind of artillery, which can fire more than a dozen projectiles in one minute, is really unstoppable in this era.

The Guan Ning Cavalry was a powerful army built by the Ming Dynasty and cost hundreds of millions of silver.

All kinds of artillery are given priority to equip them.

Wu Sangui's order to Xia Longshan was to pursue the Ming army.

Therefore, Xia Longshan had none of the heavy and slow-moving heavy artillery.

but!

According to Ming Dynasty's consistent policy, this kind of light artillery is used as a support artillery for infantry.

And Xia Longshan's mission is to completely annihilate this Ming army.

Therefore, this small [-]-pound Fo Lang machine has hundreds of doors.

As long as he reaches the shooting range, Akito will only be wiped out!
