"Artillery?" Yao Wenqian couldn't believe it when he heard the sound of cannons, there was still an artillery configuration in such a small and remote place?

"Is it a Hongyi cannon?" Liu Zhigan was also shocked, and the generals such as Liu Zerun and Liu Kecheng on the side also showed shocked expressions.

These generals have not seen artillery, and when they were quelling the chaos in Dengzhou, the momentum of the Hongyi artillery bombardment was simply terrifying.

When the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen did not arrive in Denglai on a large scale, the Ming troops who were transferred to Denglai everywhere to quell the chaos suffered a lot.

The Dongjiang soldiers are good at fighting and forbearing, strong and ferocious, this is a fierce man who can survive for more than ten years in a dead place like Liaodong, and any general, including Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, has suffered a lot.

They trekked through the ice and snow to flee for their lives, and fought against the Houjin soldiers under extremely harsh material conditions, and developed a tenacious style.

After the rebellion in Dengzhou, Dengzhou was quickly taken, and under the premise that the imperial army was extremely unfavorable, Kong Youde and others actually included a large number of craftsmen who made firearms controlled by Sun Yuanhua in their army.

In this way, the Dongjiang Army also had the ability to manufacture artillery, which also made the Ming army suffer greatly.

Even if the cavalry of Liaozhen came to quell the rebellion, Kong Youde and others could still prepare a large number of boats and ships in advance, calmly cross the sea and escape back to southern Liaoning, and contact Huang Taiji, Kong Youde Shang Kexi and others led more than 10,000 people, including a large number of craftsmen who can make firearms, and they were laughed at by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was originally extremely heavy artillery, and Hou Jin himself was also learning to cast cannons, but his craftsmanship was rude, and he was still powerless to make cannons weighing thousands of catties.

After the return of King Sanshun, Huang Taiji greeted Kong Youde and others from afar, one is to create the image of the male lord of Corporal Lixian to make countless heroes come to vote, and the other is that there are still more than 10,000 people in the Dongjiang Army, all of whom are the elite of the embers of a hundred battles, which is a great supplement to the combat power of Houjin.

Later, it was also true, after the Qing army entered the customs, in addition to the Shun army and the Southern Ming Dynasty was dispatched to the Manchurian Eight Banners, and later the southwest was Wu Sangui as the main force, guarding Fujian and Guangdong, and it was the Geng family, the monk family and the Kong family, the Sanshun royal family.

Kong Youde was martyred when Li Dingguo swept the two Guangzhous, which made the Qing court quite sad, and the loss of such a good slave was not small.

The Qing court's appointment of the Han army was divided into several stages, and the main dividing line was the Han army flag and the Han army attached before entering the customs.

Although the Han military flag is equal to its own people, although it is not as beautiful as the three feudatories such as Wu Sangui and Sanshun Wang, the Han military flag is really regarded as its own person by the Qing court, and can even choose a concubine, carry the flag into the Manchurian flag, or serve as a governor and other important positions.

Before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people who were high-ranking officials were basically from the Han army.

Again, the generals of the Ming army who were attached after entering the customs generally did not end well, and basically they were idle one after another and even forced to rebel and then killed, such as Liu Zeqing and Zheng Zhilong.

Huang Taiji's attention to Kong Youde and others, and more importantly, the large number of craftsmen they brought to make firearms.

The biggest consequence of the Dengzhou Rebellion was that Houjin also began to cast cannons and shared the benefits of firearms with the Ming Dynasty.

All the generals in front of him have seen the power of artillery and have suffered a lot, but after the cannon sounded, their first reaction was to be afraid that it was the Hongyi cannon.

After seeing the source of the cannon, Yao Wenqian looked nervously for a while, and then said quite relaxedly: "It's not the Hongyi cannon, it's the Franc machine." ”

"Nor is it to be taken lightly." Liu Zhigan said angrily: "I didn't expect these people from the countryside to have artillery!" ”

Liu Zhigan followed Liu Zeqing to conquer Henan, and fought with the Chuang army, the Chuang army did not have Hongyi artillery, mainly captured Ming artillery, the most is the Tiger Squat Cannon, the mouth of the second general cannon and the Buddha Lang machine.

The level of artillery fired by the invading army exceeded that of the second-rate Ming army, and it was also a great hardship for Liu's uncle and nephew.

At the same time, not only the castle of Qianhu, but also several arrow towers on the right side were also the sound of artillery, and then people saw the fire flickering, and the cannonballs smashed with a screaming sound.

The four artillery pieces were fired one after another, which gave Liu Zhigan and others a strong impact, which was also unthinkable before this.

They didn't even think that there were actually more than 20 Franc machine guns in the city of Qianhusuo, but unfortunately there was a serious lack of gunners, otherwise the artillery installation would be completed, the gunners and sub-medicine shells would be in place, and the 30 guns would be bombarded, and I am afraid that it would be a lot of fun.

"Don't delay, beat the drums, and let the whole army assault." Yao Wenqian's face flashed with anger, and he said: "Now I can see clearly, the enemy in front of me is only more than 3,000 people, the army is still quite neat, the main force of our army and the cavalry are advancing left and right, and we must break the enemy with one blow." ”

Liu Kecheng's face showed arrogance and said: "With his strict military formation, as soon as my cavalry arrives, he will also be wiped out." ”

Yao Wenqian was somehow a little uneasy in his heart, the enemy in front of him was less than three hundred paces apart, and now he could clearly see that the troops under the banners of these guards were quite tight and neat, which was in stark contrast to the chaotic military formation on his side.

In addition, the defense line on both sides is almost impregnable, which means that the cavalry has no room to deploy, and can only be mixed with infantry and cavalry to attack the enemy's main formation, and the speed and detour of the cavalry are limited, and the power is reduced by half.

The opposing general seemed quite experienced, which made Yao Wenqian very uneasy.

But at this time, it was impossible to retreat, with 10,000 against the three armies, the opponent was still the Weisuo Banner Army, and if he retreated, it would be impossible for Liu Zeqing to explain, and his reputation would be completely ruined.

At that moment, Yao Wenqian ordered no longer to hesitate, and the whole army immediately accelerated forward and fought head-on with the Weisu Banner Army on the opposite side.

Liu Kecheng and other cavalry generals also returned to the military formation, and more than 800 cavalry rode to the left side of the infantry formation, and killed along the side of the official road and the infantry formation.

The drums on both sides were all masterpieces, and the sound of fighting in a radius of more than ten miles was loud, coupled with the continuous roar of rumbling cannons, even people more than ten miles away knew that the prelude to the war had begun.

……

Min Yuanqi's banner is before the garrison, fifteen battle front teams and jumping teams have continued to move forward, less than twenty steps away from the station, the battle front team should have been all fire guns, but now the total number of fire guns is only more than one hundred and fifty, can only be each front team organized into a flag team, listed in front of the jumping team.

Shen Liang held a newly-made combination machine and strode in front of the right side of the first striker.

In the usual editing training, the firecracker is trained alone, mainly to practice loading, aiming, and playing.

Even when the arrow is in the air and the shouting of killing rings in front of the ear, the firecracker still has to do the whole process of calmly loading, lighting the firerope, pulling the trigger and releasing it, then clearing the barrel, reloading again, and then aiming and releasing it.

If someone is in a hurry and upset, mistakes are inevitable.

Under Shen Liang's training, there is no room for error, as long as a mistake is made, it will be beaten with a military stick.

This is the old rule of the Dengzhou Army, and even in the process of loading and preparing for the soldiers, Shen Liang is also walking through the teams, roaring and interfering with the movements of the guns.

In Shen Liang's words, the Portuguese also trained them in this way at the beginning, and the Lao Tzu didn't understand the Portuguese language at the beginning, wasn't it the same honest training, and they all practiced well?

Such rough training, and even beating soldiers, is actually a tradition of the Ming army.

Of course, the training of military personnel in various countries in this era is almost the same, and the so-called training without beating or scolding almost only exists in an ideal state.

Shen Liang was originally an outsider, and he was originally hated by others, and his method of training soldiers was also criticized by others.

However, Min Yuanqi still firmly supported it, and later Yang Zhijin and others gradually became stricter in training, and the dissatisfied voices gradually subsided.

At this moment, in Shen Liang's eyes, the firecracker who had been practicing hard for a long time had already satisfied him.

In wartime, the Gunners are mixed with the Jumpers in the form of a Striker.

According to Min Yuanqi's idea, Qi Jiguang's mixed bureau can actually make changes.

The entire military array is mixed, but the simpler the small-scale array, the better.

If there is a fear that the Frontmen will not have the ability to assault and counter-attack, the solution on the European side is to give bayonets to the smoothbore gunners.

The bayonet is actually not a meticulous work, there are also equipped with swords in the hands of the Ming army, but the Ming army does not pay attention to the training of the gunners, and the gunners and pikemen are the same as the low-level cannon fodder, the guns are troublesome to build, and the materials are too brittle and easy to break, and they are simply losing money, so the number of firearms equipped with swords is extremely rare, and they have not formed combat power at all.

In Min Yuanqi's opinion, as long as the trouble of drilling the gun tube is solved, equipping the gun sword is a trivial matter, and with the ability of the workshop here in the Cloud Ladder Pass, although it costs a lot of money to manufacture the gun sword in large quantities, it is still a very worthwhile thing.

The firecrackers are equipped with swords, and they are organized independently, and small-scale battles can be combined with the jumping team.

For example, in this kind of large-scale war in front of us, the firecrackers are organized into a battle front bureau, the spearmen and the knife and card hand boring handles form a jumping game, and the guerrillas are still mainly swords and cards, forming a guerrilla flag team, and the whole large array is relatively simple, and after leaving space, it can be combined with the cavalry bureau or cavalry division composed of two wings of rangers, and in the future it may still be a cavalry headquarters or cavalry battalion, from thousands of people to tens of thousands of people grouped and arrayed, which is generally the case.

If you take into account the number of enemies and the elite degree of the army, you can form a defensive circle formation for defensive counterattack, and you can also organize a sharp array with a three-talent formation depending on the equipment, in addition to these arrays, many arrays of the Ming army Min Yuanqi has no intention of training, the military formation is tempered by thousands of tempers, the so-called famous formation earlier is made up according to the original tactical play, and now it is the era of alternating firearms and cold weapons. The current formation is the most suitable formation.

Shen Liang held a firecracker in his hand, and walked at the front of the queue with a flag team, behind him were the front team of the firecracker flag team, the assault jumping team composed of pikemen and boring handlers was mixed with the firecracker team, and behind them was a jumping team with cold weapons composed of purely long and short weapons.

The team roared forward, Shen Liang's face was calm, but his heart was extremely agitated.
