Chapter 1349: The Great Victory in Yazhen (2)
At this time, more than 100 guns bombarded at the same time, covering the two-zhang wide official road, and it is difficult to accurately describe that kind of scene.
It's like a sudden rainstorm in the hot summer, pouring out dissatisfaction on your head and face, no matter whether you are holding an umbrella or wearing a raincoat, within a second, you can make people drench from head to toe.
There is no way to avoid it!
Thinking about these arrogant Tartar cavalry, the feeling at this time should be the same.
Of course, they may well not have time to feel it.
Because, there is no time for them to feel.
The baptism of iron and fire is inaudible except for the wails muffled by the sound of explosions.
In this battle, nearly one-third of the enemy's cavalry was defeated, and the enemy's cavalry vanguard was swept away.
Song An is a cautious person, he doesn't dare to let the enemy ride too far around the corner, and naturally he won't destroy too many enemies.
Because his strength is only a few hundred, once dozens of cavalry who have escaped the net rush through the area covered by artillery fire, it will be fatal to himself.
Therefore, once the enemy cavalry striker entered the range of artillery fire, Song An decisively ordered the bombardment.
In this way, the enemy cavalry was caught off guard, and the enemy's arrogance was instantly extinguished.
Huni Yaluo, who was in the middle of the team, escaped by luck, and he originally wanted to fight back after a simple purge.
However, when he observed with his telescope that the artillery position of the Northern Expeditionary Army was set up on the halfway slope on the west side of the bend, he quickly dispelled the idea of counterattack, and he estimated that even if the light cavalry was allowed to climb the slope and assault, the speed of the upward rush would become slow, and this charge time was enough for the Northern Expeditionary Army to carry out two or three rounds of artillery bombardment, which was fatal to the assault light cavalry.
Even if they rushed to the artillery formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the artillery was difficult to function, and the Northern Expeditionary Army still had muskets to block.
Therefore, Huni Yaluohe, who understood this, led the cavalry of the rest of his life to retreat in the direction of Suqian.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the same march, the same Tartar cavalry, the difference is that the march is in diametrically opposite directions.
And compared to the swagger when he came, it became dejected at this time.
This is to take advantage of the absolute local terrain advantage and fight an asymmetrical ambush warfare, so as to obtain unexpected tactical methods.
Even if there is no tiger squat cannon, the use of bows and crossbows and muskets is the same, although the effect may be inferior, but the tactical effect can basically be achieved.
Seizing the advantageous terrain of mountains and rivers and water currents for one's own use is the most emphasized subject of the Songjiang Military Academy, and such tactics are only scratching the surface.
After the battle, the battlefield was cleaned up, and 663 enemy cavalry were annihilated, and there were no prisoners or wounded soldiers, maybe there were at that time, but when they were counted, they were definitely gone.
The pity is the war horse, these six hundred and sixty-three people's mounts, intact or slightly injured war horses, only less than fifty, what needs to be explained here is that the Northern Expeditionary Army that cleaned the battlefield did not kill war horses, even if they were wounded war horses.
It is conceivable how dense the iron shrapnel should have been scattered at that time.
The Ambush at Yazhen became a typical tactical example in the future, and its significance was to prove to the world that even if the forces were the same, or even inferior, to the enemy, as long as they were properly deployed, the Tartar cavalry was not invincible.
And although Song An voluntarily became a "shadow", it was precisely because of this battle that he entered the list of the "Top Ten Famous Generals" of the General's Mansion in the future, but he was at the bottom and ten, of course, this is a later story.
……。
It is said that what kind of leader there is, what kind of subordinates there are.
The generals under the General's Mansion are not a worry-free lord.
Jiang Quanyi's arrogance and ruthlessness.
Chi Erhan is sullen, brave, thick and fine.
Song An's ruthlessness.
Chen Sheng's composure.
Cautious as a sea.
The needle in the Lu domain.
and Qian Sudian, who has been martyred, is loyal...... Wait a minute.
However, Zhou Dahu is an alternative, he was born a ruffian, a gangster on the streets of Shining Town.
If it didn't coincide with the troubled times and the battle of Shining Town, Zhou Dahu would probably be "suppressed" by Wu Zheng.
From ancient times to the present, whether it is an era of war or a peaceful and prosperous era, it has been suppressed by the government, no, contained.
The reason is only one point, if you kill to stop killing, you will fall into reincarnation, who doesn't have one or two relatives and friends to take revenge? The murderer always kills him, and this is the case.
Fortunately, Zhou Dahu was lucky, he changed from a bastard to an official soldier, because of his brave combat, and there are dozens of brothers brought out from Shining Town, within five years, he was promoted to deputy commander, six-rank military position, you must know that the parents of Shangyu County are only from the seventh grade, which can be regarded as his glory to his ancestors.
Zhou Dahu is different from others, he really doesn't value his official position, in addition to his righteousness, ruffianism is the biggest characteristic, for example, in five years, he has accepted five concubines, this is actually a small section, as long as he is not forced to marry, no one can blame, but the key is that this bastard has no wife, that is, he has not married a wife, God knows what he thinks.
Such people often don't care about any laws and regulations, and can be said to do whatever they want, live happily and freely.
Shen Zhiyuan knows Zhou Dahu very well, a fellow from a place.
Therefore, the first thing Shen Zhiyuan's soldiers did when they came to the city of Tongzhou was to let the yellow camel be used as a messenger and invite Zhou Dahu out of the city for a meeting.
In theory, such meetings are forbidden.
Especially when the two sides are facing off, who can guarantee that there will be no meat buns and dogs, and there will be no return?
But from ancient times to the present day, such meetings have been common.
At the end of the day, the law is dead, while man is alive.
Zhou Dahu Shi Shiran went out of the city, what made Shen Zhiyuan cry and laugh was that Zhou Dahu went to the appointment alone, not even a guard, he brought a horse and a jar of wine.
The wine jar is very large, authentic Shaoxing Zhuang Yuan red, a jar of ten catties.
Dare to love is to ask the fellow to see the fellow, and the tears are in your eyes?
Definitely!
When he got closer, Shen Zhiyuan clearly saw that Zhou Dahu's teeth were clenched and his face was full of anger.
Shen Zhiyuan sighed slightly in his heart, and rode forward to meet him.
"Brother Zhou."
"Don't dare to be, I don't have a brother like you."
The tone was not good, Shen Zhiyuan didn't take this stubble, looked at the wine jar that Zhou Dahu was carrying, and said: "It's been almost three years, and I can finally drink a sip of the old wine from my hometown...... Thank you, Brother Zhou. ”
Zhou Dahu lifted his legs, jumped off the horse, stepped forward with the wine jar, and put it heavily in front of Shen Zhiyuan, "This wine is a broken wine, do you want to drink it?" ”
Shen Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "Why is this so? ”
Zhou Dahu pointed at Shen Zhiyuan and scolded: "The Hegao defenders were broken by fifty percent in the first battle...... Shen Zhiyuan, together with the villagers, can do it, your conscience has been eaten by dogs?! ”
Shen Zhiyuan was not angry, and responded lightly: "Brother Zhou knew that I would not order the pursuit, and he could have ordered the Hegao defenders to retreat, but Brother Zhou didn't do it...... In this case, the battlefield has no eyes, life and death have their own destiny, Brother Zhou can't blame me. ”
