Chapter 1232: The Battle of Xinghua (1)
Bashan, Guarjia, inlaid with yellow flags.
He succeeded his grandfather Ba Dai as the steward and thus began his career as a horseman.
This person, whether it is his temperament, talent, or ability, has the typical characteristics of the Manchus.
He is brave and ruthless, and he must take the lead in every battle.
In the battle of Daling River in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Manchu Dynasty Meile Ezhen Tun Bulu and Niulu Ezhen Langge were defeated, and Bashan led a hundred horsemen to rush into the battle and recaptured the bodies of several people.
With this merit, Bashan awarded Niu Lu Zhangjing, and later promoted to Jia La Ezhen (one Jia La is five Niu Lu, and Jia La is really above, which is Gushan Ezhen).
It can be seen that this person is a brave general and a reckless general.
The gentleman deceives him, the villain tempts him to benefit, and the brave man should be persecuted.
Jiang Quanyi wrote this way and brazenly ordered an attack.
But in fact, Jiang Quanyi is extremely reserved, he has been defeated again and again, and he has looked down on his own life and death, but he can see the lives of the soldiers under his command more than his lives.
Jiang Quanyi often asks himself, why am I still alive?!
Because someone died for himself, he can live. This is the answer that Jiang Quanyi came up with.
How can such a person be reckless to attack the crowd with less?
Naturally, Jiang Quanyi's attack was to persecute and lure the enemy.
In the days when Jiang Quanyi was stationed in Taizhou, he had already known Bashan, and even one day, Bashan found a girl in the kiln of Xinghua City, Jiang Quanyi knew exactly what was wrong.
With 6,000 people brazenly attacking Xinghua City, which was garrisoned by 8,000 people, it was a person, and they were all angry!
It's too much for him to look down on people, isn't it?
Even if you have 8,000 pigs, you have to be a big horse, right?
Bashan was really angry!
He couldn't listen to the persuasion of the generals on the left and right, and resolutely led 1,800 cavalry out of the city to meet Jiang Quanyi.
In fact, Bashan is not as reckless as he appears, he is already cautious.
The Qing cavalry faced the Ming army, and even if the strength of the opposite side was doubled, 1,800 cavalry would be able to plow two back and forth.
But the people who are brave must admit death.
It's hard to change an established concept.
Also, I'm used to fighting with the wind, from the Qing army to the customs, try to see the world, who can match?
Pity...... It's a pity.
Although Jiang Quanyi did not have a large cannon, he did have a small cannon, which was the kind of improved tiger squat cannon that relied on elastic power.
The number of small cannons is really quite a lot, eight hundred.
When the Northern Expeditionary Army was reorganized from the various guards, the establishment of the army was already standardized.
The four-four system adopted by the Northern Expeditionary Army, four squads (squads) were a platoon, and each platoon had an artillery team (four small guns).
That is, for every fifty people, there are four small cannons. Out of 6,000 people, there are nearly 500 doors.
The small cannon can be disassembled into two parts: the barrel and the base, which is easy to carry.
And Jiang Quanyi came prepared this time, he gathered 800 small cannons, just to deal with Bashan in Xinghua City.
Luring the enemy out of the city and covering it with dense artillery fire is a typical style of play that Wu Zheng has always advocated and emphasized in the face of Qing cavalry.
Jiang Quanyi wrote this deeply.
The Northern Expeditionary Army was assembled in Taizhou, and Xinghua City bore the brunt of the attack, and the defenders were naturally ready for battle.
Bashan's mobilization of cavalry is actually just a saying, because the cavalry has long been on standby.
From ten miles away, it took time for the musketeers to charge to reach the city walls.
Of course, Bashan would never care, if the two sides collided outside the city, he wished that there would be a collision.
When the Northern Expeditionary Army was three miles away from the city wall, the southern gate was wide open.
The cavalry poured out in five columns, and then quickly dispersed to the left and right.
How large was 1800 cavalry?
If you don't stand on a high place, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the beginning and the end.
This in itself is a deterrent of force.
And the Qing cavalry went out of the city to meet the enemy, how did the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army respond?
All lay down.
When Bashan saw it, it was laughing wildly.
It turns out that the "Northern Expeditionary Army" known as the Southern Barbarians is this virtue?
Can this stop the charge of the Iron Cavalry?
Bashan quickly stopped laughing, raised his scimitar, and shouted, "Sons...... My warriors of the Qing Dynasty...... General Suiben crushed this group of guts southern barbarians, attacked Taizhou Mansion, and attacked Yingtianfu...... Kill! ”
The iron hooves flew, and the hooves of the war horses raised bursts of dust, which instantly shrouded a radius of several miles.
The "rumbling" hooves began to roar, forming the resonance of the earth, just like the countless passionate war drums beating at the same time in the training ground, which shocked people's hearts.
The distance of three miles, within a snap of a finger.
However, just a moment after the sound of this "rumbling" hoof.
Another "rumble" sounded from behind the Northern Expeditionary Army lying on the ground, roaring the same.
Even, quickly drowned out the hooves of 1,800 war horses.
The cannonballs, raining down like torrential rain, were enough to drown this group of Manchu warriors.
In fact, the power of this kind of shell is very small, so small that it can only involve a distance of two or three zhang in a radius.
Even shrapnel could not penetrate the iron armor on the Iron Rider's body.
However, Jiang Quanyi chose a suitable time and a suitable place to form a local dense coverage, which is the prototype of the famous general.
Qing cavalry listed the city gates in five columns, even if they were scattered left and right, with a distance of three miles, how could it be possible to evacuate?
Bashan's intention was nothing more than to impact and crush, how could he deliberately control the density of cavalry?
The Tartars are not good at arrays in the first place, and they rely on one word to fight a war - rush.
This is their natural advantage, attacking and defending, invincible.
However, the restraint of weapons is also innate.
Especially if you deliberately refrain from it, the effect will be multiplied.
Close your eyes and experience the sourness of being fired from a salvo of 800 cannons.
This is a man-made "disaster".
The advantage of the Tiger Squat Cannon is not its power, but its fast launch, just like the rapid-fire guns in Western Europe at this time.
You can shoot three or four rounds in a minute, or even within twelve, without cleaning the barrel.
It was a rain of iron, and the flying shrapnel was enough to penetrate the horse's inner belly, even if it couldn't penetrate the armor of the cavalry.
Fishy, windy, bloody, rainy, no exaggeration.
Qing Qi didn't even have time to react, and was completely shrouded in the five or six miles radius.
Except for the neighing of the horses, the howls of confusion, and the miserable wails...... No one could get close to the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army lying on the ground from a few feet away.
This distance is only 100 steps.
This distance is the line of life and death, and it is difficult for the Qing army to surpass Lei Chi.
Bashan, who spoke boldly before leaving the city, was thrown off by the injured war horse when the first round of shells exploded, fortunately the war horse was injured in the leg, otherwise, the speed of the war horse would have dragged him to death.
But this also allowed Bashan to escape, I have to say that war horses are psychic, and they have an innate hedging function.
But a strange thing happened, maybe the war horse was blown up, when Bashan's war horse, limping and dragging the already unconscious Bashan, came to the front of the Northern Expeditionary Army dozens of steps, everyone was stunned, what? Defected to the enemy?
