Chapter 109: Excitement
Shen Liang glanced twice, and when he saw that the camp flag was not shaking, he sighed unconsciously.
This is actually a good opportunity, if it is a battalion general who has passed through the battlefield, he will order to accelerate the attack at this time, the bandits have just been beaten once, and their positions are shaken, and they are afraid that the whole line will collapse under a rush.
"Clear the chamber!"
There was a sparse commotion on the front line, and the gunners hurriedly cleaned the chamber with their canes, most of them moved quickly and deformed, and many of them didn't know what they were doing when they poked around, and even several of them trembled with their arms, and there was no way to put the cane into the chamber of the gun.
Shen Liang's face was splashed by Mars in a large area, but fortunately there were no burns, but the faces of the two gunners were burned, and they were in pain.
"Upper shot."
"Put in the lead."
"Stuffy."
"Loading the primer."
"Check the faucet."
"Inspect the arquebus."
Due to the rush of the guns, some people even stuffed a few pills, almost filling the entire guns, Shen Liang punched and kicked the guns to reload, and at the same time gave orders continuously, giving an order clearly for every step.
In fact, if you are a veteran, many actions are done subconsciously, and there is no need for instructions at all, only flat lifting, aiming, and putting these steps need to accept instructions.
After the medicine was reloaded, the chaos on the bandits' side had subsided, but their archers were completely useless, and the two flanks were already approaching about ten paces.
"Hit!"
Shen Liang didn't care at all, his flag team was on the far left, and beside him was the flag team composed of three mandarin duck squads, he was only less than three steps away from this flag team, and it was easy to be injured by mistake so close, but Shen Liang gave a direct order with a blushing face, and the sound of fire guns sounded again and again, this time the distance was less than twenty steps, and he could smell the stench of the bandits on the opposite side, and the firecrackers were not as nervous and stiff as the first round when the second round was released, and after the gunshots rang out, twelve or thirteen people fell down on the opposite side immediately, and almost no shot missed!
This time the bandit front is even more chaotic, and then look at the right wing, the soldiers of the two hundred total six flag teams and nine mandarin duck squads have been less than five steps away from the enemy, under the military order of the officer, the hundred general flags and flag team flags have leaned forward, all the soldiers let out shouts and roars, and the right wing and the left wing of the bandits began to engage in short combat.
Each team has a team officer with a flag gun, and then two sword players on his side, one on the left and one on the right, cooperate with the team officer, and the whole forward is the same.
Behind the team officer and the knife are four pikemen, the previous five-foot guns have all been replaced by five guns, the spear heads are all made by Shen Yong and other blacksmiths, all of them are made of high-grade Fujian iron wrought iron, and then use Suzhou Iron and Steel to point steel, which is extremely sharp.
It is that the gun barrel is not satisfactory, the choice of the gun barrel is also very knowledgeable, not too hard nor too soft, if the gun barrel used by the general will also be wrapped with rattan silk strips, increase flexibility, and at the same time have to be maintained every year with shabu lacquer and other things, and the precious spear is also worth a lot.
This rebuild of Zhangwu spear, mostly made of hardwood, there is a slap under the tip of the gun, and there is an iron tail at the bottom, and it is also a qualified standard spear in general, and it originally felt that compared with Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, the quality of the spear barrel is still slightly inferior.
However, after Min Yuanqi read some notes, the book of soldiers and the copy of the Tang Newspaper Mansion, he also had a new understanding.
Later generations thought that the Sichuan soldiers who fought in the bloody Hun River were all white pole soldiers, but in fact, it was a misinformation. The white pole soldiers are tough enough, soft and steel, but they are more of a performative nature, and they fight in array on the battlefield, how can they use the white pole on a large scale? In the records of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan soldiers used spears and long swords and broadswords with five bamboo handles, and there was no record of white poles at all. In the various records of the Ming people, when it comes to making guns, it is also the first to wrap thick wood in rattan and silk shabu-shabu, followed by wood. The generals used guns, with ox tendon wood as the top, and sword spine wood as the second, and there is no record of using white rods as the top.
Previously, the flag military gun, the shortest was only a three-foot gun, which was similar to a long sword and a big sword. The second is a five-foot gun, which is similar to a person's height, and it is not a long spear.
Based on the example of Min Yuanqi's report on the battle in Guantang, the farther away the battle array, the longer the spear is chopped or stabbed, it has a great effect.
The Eight Banners cavalry of the Sichuan army on the side of the Hunhe River had no way, whether it was a foot battle or a cavalry impact, the battle formation of the Sichuan soldiers was as solid as a rock, and the Zhejiang soldiers responded with firearms in the car camp, and the Eight Banners suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the Sichuan soldiers of several thousand people and thousands of Zhejiang soldiers gave the invincible Eight Banners great battle losses, if it were not for the surrendered Liaozhen gunners who dragged the artillery to break the Sichuan array, I am afraid that the Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers could hold on to the arrival of the main force of the Liaozhen soldiers and horses.
At that time, more than 30,000 soldiers in Liaozhen had not arrived, and when the soldiers of Sichuan and Zhejiang were finished, the Eight Banners easily swept away the 30,000 northern troops, which can be said to have harmed people.
The spear of Zhangwu is erected like a forest of spears, and if the army is tightly arrayed and coordinated in an orderly manner, it is much more powerful than the spear of five feet or two zhang.
However, most of the soldiers in the Ming army camp were not well trained, the array was loose, the spears were too long, the array was not neat, and they could not be used, and they were even easily approached by the enemy.
Only Min Yuanqi has the confidence to train a crack and daring spear army to come out, the Sichuan soldiers are just Tusi soldiers, but the training is strict, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the local Tusi has the authority of life and death, such an army will not fall behind against the Eight Banners, and even at the critical juncture, it is not allowed to go to the front line, because the imperial court wants a strong army to guard the Shanhaiguan, so that the monarch and the military and the people can rest assured.
Min Yuanqi also has all these conditions, why is he not as good as a Tusi family in Sichuan?
"Thorn!"
Gao Cuncheng and Yang Zhijin are respectively under the banner of the third and fourth hundredth total hundred generals, and the front line of the team has been relatively intact, maybe a certain soldier is not very clear about the situation of the place he is in and the entire battlefield, and as a military attaché, especially a military attache with battlefield talent, at this moment he can realize that the time has come, the two hundred general front has not been completely opened, there are more than half of the flag team array against the enemy, and behind him is more than half of the flag team to form a depth.
At the front, more than two-thirds were pikemen, and the rest were knife players and boring handles.
There are very few short gunners in the team, because Min Yuanqi feels that the role of short guns is more suitable for urban street battles in narrow terrain, and it is estimated that it is also the reason why Qi Shuai configured short guns back then.
Judging from the current overall situation, whether it is against the Liukou, the officers and soldiers, or the Manchurian Eight Banners, there are not many opportunities for street battles in the city, so the long guns, knives, and boring handles are still useful, and the short guns can be discarded and not used.
Opposite the array of the two hundred generals is a mess of bandits, the other party's front has been like a dog's tooth staggered, after the two hundred generals give an order, the flag of the hundred generals waved forward, the deputy hundred generals on the right side of each flag team, and the flag captain on the left side all gave orders together, roaring one after another, and then the entire battlefield was the roar of the officers and all the flag troops.
All the spears stabbed forward together, and everyone stabbed forward with all their strength, and the peaks on both sides had already intersected, and many bandits were trying to stab or slash the weapons in their hands, or use some false tricks to confuse the banner army line. These bandits have a lot of experience in fighting with personality killing, but it is also the first time that they have experienced a large-scale battle of hundreds or thousands of people. They don't know what the concept of the array on the battlefield is not chaotic, although they feel that the front and soldiers are neat, the inner pressure is not great, at this time, everyone feels that there are spears stabbing on the opposite side, and those who are close are shocked and frightened, desperately trying to block or retreat to dodge, how can there be people around them, and they can't retreat, and those who want to parry are feeling that there are spears stabbing in every place on the front and back, and the duckbill-shaped spears with blood grooves on both sides are sharp and heavy, and the whole row of spears are piercing, Although the number of bandits is more than that of the flag army, there is no battle array at all, and the spears are stabbed out, and each bandit in front of them feels that they are being attacked by multiple people at the same time, although they want to try to parry, block, or dodge and retreat, but they are unstoppable and retreat.
After the spear was stabbed, the screams rang out one after another, and they were endless.
Third, the 400th general banner army was also quite surprised.
More than ninety percent of the flag army has never experienced the battlefield, let alone seen bloody scenes. After the spear stabbed past, most of them actually succeeded, and at least thirty or forty bandits fell to the ground in an instant.
Or be stabbed in the throat and chest and be killed directly. or be stabbed in the waist and abdomen, and the abdomen bursts out, and the pain is unspeakable.
Or he was stabbed in the arm and thigh, although it was not fatal, but he was in pain and panicked, lost his weapon, and only rolled on the ground for help.
The panic on the opposite side boosted the morale of the flag army, and after seeing the blood, the flag army was more or less frightened and panicked, and when they saw that the opposite side was more frightened and frightened than themselves, their courage naturally rose again.
"Onward!"
One blow is a success, stabbing over many people, and some lucky dodges in front of the formation, but they are suppressed by the knives on both sides, or slap with cards, or slash with stabs, and the knife players also kill and injure many people, and the opposite front is even more chaotic.
Gao Cuncheng and Yang Zhijin knew that the time had come, and they ordered one after another, and the hundred general banners quickly connected the dots, and the two general banner armies on the battlefield immediately strode forward under the order.
The bandits' front was already extremely chaotic, and the banner army rushed forward, and the distance between them was rapidly narrowed.
"Thorn!"
Once again, the order was passed on the front, and all the pikemen stepped forward and stabbed again.
Dozens of bandits were shot, killed on the spot, or seriously injured, and screams rang out one after another.
The right flank of the original local bandits was quite embarrassed by the firearms, and the left flank was hit by the third or fourth hundredth general, and the entire front began to retreat non-stop, and the center and right flank were exposed to the attacks of all the flag troops.
At this point, Min Yuanqi finally had the feeling of being a general, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally ordered: "Order the cavalry to charge and flank the enemy's right flank, so as to collapse the enemy with one blow." ”
After the flag was ordered, after the flag team saw the flag order, Min Yuanzhi was very excited, he didn't feel afraid, the scene in front of him was quite bloody, if the faint-hearted people would inevitably collapse, the head of the person was cut off, revealing the neck of the blood gushing. Arms and thighs were stabbed with large bloody holes, or cut off. Guns and spears struck and stabbed men in the abdomen, and the stomach burst out.
People are wailing, screaming, all kinds of voices.
Coupled with the smell of blood, the smell of human beings, a lot of feces and urine, and the smell of mud from a large number of people stepping on, it was like hell on the battlefield.
After all, the son of Jiangmen is extraordinary, Min Yuanzhi is not only not afraid, but feels very excited!
