Chapter 95: The Che Battalion Dispatches

Due to the proximity to the outside of the pass, there were often wind and sand at the foot of Yanshan, and when Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui fought a decisive battle, they were indeed affected by the wind and sand, and the surprise attack of the Eastern Capture caused a great defeat. But part of today's wind and sand is man-made.

Two hundred Qi family military horses dragged huge branches and ran back and forth in the upwind port, making the wind and sand more fierce.

Where did Duoduo know this, the Eastern Cavalry lost their way as soon as they entered the mountain pass, which is also the reason why they did not meet Wu Sangui for a long time.

But after all, Duoduo had experienced this kind of environment a lot, and he was worried about being suddenly ambushed, so he took out the single-barreled telescope and carefully looked around.

Appearing in the single-barreled telescope, there is nothing to see except the wind and the dust, but the shouts of killing in the valley are faint and faint.

Dodor smiled coldly:

"Command, the archers shoot blindly."

"Chirp"

At the sound of Duoduo's order, the Eastern cavalry took off their strong bows and crossbows, and without even looking at them, they began to shoot blindly at the surrounding mountains, forests and grasses.

The cavalry archery of the Eight Banners of the Eastern Capture is very famous, and when the Ming army fights them, many soldiers will die under the cavalry archery.

If there are people and horses in ambush in the mountains, forests and grasses, this blind shot can make the opponent reveal his original form.

When the wind was blowing, Huang Ming's men and horses had already brought their eyes, and he held a high-powered telescope and stared at the Eastern Cavalry.

Suddenly found that the Eastern Capture cavalry had opened their bows and arrows, Huang Ming secretly admired their handsome Qi Jiguang, and Qi Jiguang explained very clearly when he came.

If the opponent shoots blindly, do not shoot, do not shout, do not show your body, even if you are shot by a bow and arrow, you must be strong and not make a sound.

Therefore, when he saw the Eastern Capture cavalry stretching his bow and arrows, Huang Ming immediately realized that these guys were going to shoot blindly and check if there were any ambushes around.

He immediately made a gesture to his subordinates, and the soldiers of the Qi family army immediately understood his gesture, and the three thousand Qi family soldiers immediately quietly erected rattan signs.

The rattan brand is a standing thing for the Qi family's army, and they will not lack rattan at any time, this is a necessity for the Mandarin Duck Array.

Even if the Mandarin Duck Array has improved now, Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiajun are still reluctant to let go of this thing.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of bowstrings, followed by ten thousand arrows, no, it should be a random arrow, Duoduo didn't have so many cavalry.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The sound of arrows hitting tree trunks and branches was heard.

The arrows shot at the Qi family army were all made of rattan cards, and many rattan cards were full of arrows, like hedgehogs.

The benefits of rattan in blind shooting in the Eastern Capture were immediately reflected, and the Eastern Cavalry could not hear the sound of shields resisting the arrows at all.

The Eastern Cavalry fired arrows and sank with great force.

If it is an iron shield, the sound will be obvious, and it will be heard by the opponent at once.

But when you shoot at the rattan, it's not much different from shooting wood, and there are trees next to it, so no one cares.

Dodor had been watching the movement around him, and although he couldn't see clearly, if someone suddenly jumped out. Sure to be discovered, seeing that there was no movement, Dordor ordered:

"Stop shooting."

"The two Niu Lu are exploring the way in front, and the large army will follow up, even if the sky falls, we must exterminate that group of cavalry today, otherwise it will damage the reputation of my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty."

After wasting a flurry of arrows, the Eastern cavalry put away their bows and arrows in the order of Duoduo to stop shooting, and the two Niu Lu 600 cavalry urged their horses to rush out.

Duoduo led eleven oxen and followed closely.

Don't look at the wind and sand that has a great impact on Wu Sangui, but the Eastern Prisoners often encounter this kind of weather outside the Guan, and their adaptability is much better than that of the Guanning rebels.

This was also the reason why Dordor forced his way into the valley despite the weather, but he was clearly ill-prepared for the situation inside.

As soon as he entered the valley, Duoduo suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't open his eyes because of the wind and sand here, so he covered his mouth, nose and eyes with his sleeves.

Somewhere in the mountains and forests

"Marshal, all the Eastern Cavalry have entered the ambush circle, should we act?"

Adjutant General Qi Jiguang had been observing the movement of the valley, and when he saw that all the Eastern Cavalry had entered the valley flattening, he immediately wanted Qi Jiguang to report.

Qi Jiguang looked at the telescope as a result:

"Order, the chariot battalion is dispatched to block the retreat of the Eastern Cavalry, and pay attention to their cavalry."

'Yes'

"Order the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to retreat, the artillery to prepare, and the firearms battalion to prepare, and strive to completely annihilate the Yellow Banner of Duoduo in one fell swoop, so that the Yellow Banner will disappear from the East from now on."

"Yes"

The herald immediately went down to give the order, and Qi Jiguang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he knew that he finally had the opportunity to completely annihilate and capture a banner in the east.

This is something that has never happened since the establishment of the Eastern Exile, and this battle is destined to be written in the annals of history.

In the battle of Salhu that year, 60,000 cavalry were captured in the east, and almost 200,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty were annihilated.

It was that battle that made the Ming Dynasty's advantage over the Eastern Exile weaken until it perished.

With the help of wind and sand, the Qi family's military chariot battalion quietly began to build fortifications behind Duoduo's army, which Duoduo was completely unaware of.

Car camp

Qi Jiguang's Che Battalion was an army specially established to fight against the northern peoples, and the Mandarin Duck Formation against the Japanese Invaders could not pose a threat to the Eastern Cavalry.

So, Qi Jiguang developed a formation to deal with the Eastern Cavalry, Che Ying!

Its offensive and defensive capabilities can make all kinds of northern peoples who lack artillery feel the fear of chariots.

Qi Jiguang's chariot is completely different from the passive defensive front of the Ming army before, so Qi Jiguang's chariot battalion is extremely good at field warfare.

Qi Jiguang's chariot was mainly a partial van, with two doors on the side, and two tiger squat cannons on it, each equipped with 100 catties of gunpowder and 10,000 rounds of lead bullets.

The soldiers are divided into the main corps and the cavalry corps, and the main corps is also a chariot corps, a team of ten people, and six people are responsible for the use of tiger squat cannons.

Two palladium boring men with rockets, a helmsman who controls the direction of the chariot, and then a captain, ten Odd Soldiers, four flintlock musketeers, and two-handed knives.

There are two rattan players and two palladium boring players, and when the cavalry is in the middle of the chariots, when most of the enemy army is fifty paces away from the chariots, the artillery is fired in unison, and the cavalry muskets are fired in a volley.

After the enemy is attached to the chariot, the musketeers change their swords and cut the legs of the horses, and the spear and palladium boring men in the back are responsible for killing the enemy soldiers who fall to the ground.

In addition to the chariots, Qi Jiguang's car battalion also has a cavalry battalion of 12 people, with a total of 3,000 people, divided into three parts.

On the left and right of them were two flintlock pipers, fast lancers, palladium cavalry, sword and stick cavalry, another captain and a logistics fireman.

In the first game in the middle, a team of flintlock pistols and three boring palladium.

In the second and third rounds, a team of flintlock guns, four hook sickles and two boring palladium.

The timing of cavalry combat is to urge the horses to chase and kill when the enemy army is in a panic.

This kind of car battalion is different from the previous one, and the configuration is more advanced, with flintlock pistols and Mo knives in the configuration.

Today, as long as the car battalion is used, it is necessary to completely annihilate the Eastern Captive cavalry, of course, if you use the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, you can also annihilate them.

However, Wu Sangui and 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry were completely annihilated, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was already very tired, and Qi Jiguang wanted Li Cunxiao and the others to rest for a while.

In one case, he didn't want to have big casualties, and in order to lead Duoduo into the ambush circle, the flintlock pistol and the Tiger Squat Cannon did not dare to move.

Now it's different, the Eastern Cavalry has been put into the set, and there is no need to put guns and cannons, but to fight with the Eastern Cavalry with bayonets.

Qi Jiguang couldn't do this kind of thing, and he wouldn't do it, Qi Jiguang's military concept at that time was already quite advanced, and it was not comparable to the northern barbarians at all.
