Chapter 165: Trickery
The firearms brigade of the Seven Killing Legion has many musketeers, numbering several thousand.
There were also breastprints and horse rejections, as well as trenches as cover, completely ignoring the charge of the Tartar cavalry.
They lined up in a neat formation, giving full play to the advantages of three-stage shooting, and rows of musketeers stepped forward in turn, firing the double-barreled muskets loaded with ammunition in their hands without delay or hurry.
As a result, the first charge of the two thousand Tartar cavalry, which lasted less than a stick of incense, collapsed.
They discarded more than a thousand wounded and corpses in front of the battle, and many of them were killed and defended on horses, and the remaining cavalry with red flags fled desperately after bypassing the enemy's battle formation.
Yue Tuo and Namutai were dumbfounded, as if they were chickens.
They didn't expect that this young Ming court child soldier actually had such strong firepower!
This new army of the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, that kind of new double-barreled musket will be so sharp!
This kind of sharp weapon, this kind of strong soldier, the other two have never seen it, or they have never even heard of it.
Two thousand cavalry with red flags rushed over and came down one by one, and were cut down like wheat by others, and they didn't even touch the enemy's defense line.
What's more, most of their cavalry, without even a single arrow, were beaten back, and lost more than half of them!
At this moment, Yue Tuo and Namutai were both a little confused.
"No! If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work! ”
Yue Tuo looked at the soldiers who fled back in embarrassment, and suddenly said to Namutai in pain.
You must know that his red flag is only a few dozen Niu Lu soldiers, less than 30,000 people.
It's okay now, and three and a half Niu Lu were killed and injured at once, which simply made him feel a burst of pain like cutting meat!
"Give the order, form a formation and retreat, retreat three miles, and choose a place to camp!"
With only one round of charges, and with such a big loss, where would Yue Tuo dare to continue to attack the enemy formation?
Therefore, he didn't care what the Zhenghuang Banner Ezhen Namutai who was supervising the battle on the side would think, and immediately ordered the army to retreat in formation.
The Tartars have quite a set of retreats.
A few years ago, the Ming Empire was bitten back because of careless pursuit of the Tartars, and there were not too many examples of heavy losses.
After all, the divine book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also a very good tome, and many of the plots in it are basically enough for the plots of figuring out human nature and the war in this era.
All the generals of the Tartars have almost read through this divine book, and everyone has some routines when they fight, and it is not ordinary generals who can take advantage of their loopholes.
While letting the soldiers slowly retreat, Yue Tuo urgently sent several detachments of scouts, immediately turned back to Anshan Station, reported to Aobai, and asked him to come with a large army to reinforce.
He also made a special confession and brought all those clothed minions to this battlefield.
He found that the best way to break through the opponent's simple defensive battle formation was to initiate the tactic of the sea of people, break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop, and pour into the opponent's position
He didn't know that Huang Jingyi's purpose in arranging this battle formation now was to lure the snakes out of the hole, scatter them on the front line of this Anshan Station, and gather them as much as possible in order to catch them all.
Even if you can't catch them all and more than half of them are escaped by the enemy, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, now on the land of Liaodong, the four-way army that attacked separately will push all the way to the north, and the Tartars will run in the end.
And His Majesty the Emperor, what he wants is for them to run away like crazy.
If they don't run, they will continue to beat their buttocks until they have nowhere to hide after the beating, and they can only flee to the west of the northern steppe, and they will not be seen.
Now what Huang Jingyi is most worried about is that the Tartar spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Anshan Post defense line.
If you don't draw out most of the Tartar army, you will inevitably launch a siege war against those strong fortresses.
In this way, the casualties of the soldiers will not be eliminated.
This is normal.
As long as it is those armies that dare to fight and can fight, even if the armament of their own side falls to the enemy's generation, under the desperate counterattack, it will definitely cause huge damage to the enemy.
If you can't be defeated in a frontal battle, won't Lao Tzu come to guerrilla warfare?
Won't you sneak attack and use all kinds of indiscriminate methods?
In war, in fact, the most important thing is your own will to fight, if the will is broken, then you will lose the war completely.
On the contrary, if the will to fight has not collapsed, even if you have a huge gap in armament, as long as you still have the strength to fight, you will definitely inflict huge damage on the enemy.
Zhu Youxiao has a lot of experience in this point.
I don't see that the stars and stripes of the later generations have such advanced weapons, and they have not suffered a lot in front of several countries in East Asia and West Asia.
That was the existence of the sea, land and air that comprehensively crushed the enemy, and it did not really defeat those countries to surrender, but suffered heavy losses themselves, and had to withdraw their troops by themselves.
In this era, among Zhu Youxiao's army, although the armed forces crushed various hostile forces, the gap with them was definitely not as big as the gap between the Stars and Stripes Banner country and the countries of East Asia and West Asia in the previous life.
Therefore, in war, armament is of course the first on the list.
However, the importance of fighters who dare to fight and fight hard is not under advanced armament.
In the north of the Liaoshen Great Plain and the outer northeast region that this Tartar now occupies, there are still about two million clothed minions in Zheng
This was after the Ming Empire seized half of the territory of the Tartars and rescued most of the Liaodong soldiers and civilians in the fallen areas.
Therefore, there is absolutely no shortage of cannon fodder that the Tartars are now used to charge into battle.
But now more than half of these clothed minions in the Tartar territory have basically become hardcore traitors because they have lived in the Tartar territory for too long.
It's just that in the eyes of the Tartars, the clothed slave is the clothed slave, and he doesn't care if you are a hardcore traitor at all.
When it's time to use you, you have to rush forward and do the essential work of cannon fodder.
No matter how many of these coated minions die, the Tartars will not have the slightest bit of forbearance or pity.
Otherwise, in the past few years, the wild boar skin would not have ordered a nationwide massacre of the people in the occupied areas of Liaodong.
That massacre killed at least about three or four million people in Liaodong and relieved the pressure on the Tartars' money and food.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Tartars, those clothed minions cannot be regarded as human beings at all, but are just animals with a little use.
Cannon fodder is undoubtedly the most suitable job for those coated minions.
To be able to sacrifice their lives for their masters, those clothed minions should feel honored.
It's not just those Tartars who think so, but even most of the hardcore traitors think this way.
Now Yue Tuo has already made up his mind to use a large number of cannon fodder to break down the defense line of this mysterious Ming New Army, and collapse this Ming New Army in one fell swoop, in order to avenge the last battle.
The Tartars retreated, and Huang Jingyi did not pursue, he ordered to continue digging trenches to consolidate his position.
Extremely cunning by nature, he knew that the battle just now was just a warm-up, and the big battle that really tested the Royal Guards Firearms Brigade was coming.
And now this simple position defense line on our side can prevent the charge of an army of 10,000 or 20,000, and it will definitely not be able to defend against the charge of a sea of people tactics of more than 100,000 people.
Once there is enough cannon fodder, it is easy to achieve strategic goals.
Because in the past few months, the scouts of the Ming Royal Military Intelligence Bureau and the Blue Dragon Legion have already explored most of the internal intelligence of the Tartars.
Therefore, this time the great counteroffensive plan of the Liaoshen Great Plain has perfect intelligence support, and the side of the Ming Empire has basically managed to know itself and the enemy, and knows it in his heart.
Huang Jingyi knew that in the defensive line area of this Anshan Station, there were at least more than 300,000 Tartar clothed minions.
In this way, they have no shortage of cannon fodder at all.
And among these cannon fodder, there are some cannon fodder that are not ordinary cannon fodder, that is, the enemy chief Taiji, the latest formation of the Eight Banners of the Han Army!
Although the Eight Banners of the Han Army have only been formed for a short time, they also have a certain combat effectiveness.
These grass-created Eight Banners of the Han Army, even the armament of the armament, is stronger than most of the Ming officers and soldiers in previous years.
Moreover, these hardcore traitors, in front of the master, are very well-behaved.
Once a war starts against the side of the Ming Empire, it is like fighting chicken blood, very brave, and not very afraid of death.
So, because he had the bottom in his heart, Huang Jingyi hurriedly adjusted his various positional defense arrangements, and prepared to give a big gift package to those Tartars and clothed minions who were about to come to die.
He's really confident.
The Royal Guards Firearms Brigade he led had an artillery battalion that was enough to bring any enemy of this era to the brink of collapse.
And these cannons, because they were all covered by the logistics troops with canvas on the march, were not noticed by the enemy.
Among the firearms brigades, there are twenty super sharpshooters, and they didn't attack just now.
This sharpshooter, in the war of this era, is the real weapon of destruction.
As long as the enemy generals are targeted by them, it is basically one word: death.
These two weapons of mass killing, in the previous warm-up battle, Huang Jingyi did not order to use them at all.
The biggest purpose of this is to give a real strong enemy a surprise and a big surprise.
If a large number of cannons of a certain scale suddenly launches a salvo bombardment against the enemy, if the opposing side is not mentally prepared and prepared for action, the shocking effect brought is destined to be extremely shocking.
Its effect is more powerful and effective than a sudden reinforcement of 100,000 people.
Come on! The more enemies come, the better!
While Huang Jingyi ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, he looked at the logistics brigade that was busy building and reinforcing his own position, and there was a sinister smile on his face.
This time, I estimated that I would also get closer to the direction of His Majesty the Emperor's old yin.
It seems that being an old is a good look?
Well, it's decided, in the future, I want to be an old costard!
