Chapter 180: Lu Xiangsheng was furious
The artillery brigade of the Blue Dragon Regiment has three artillery battalions, each with 30 new Furlong machine guns.
This new type of cannon can fire both flat and high angles, and can be fired in a high pitch trajectory.
When the Tartar army resorted to such a dastardly tactic, the officers of the artillery brigade immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
That is, to abandon direct aiming and shooting, and to use a high firing angle for hanging fire, the shells can pass over the crowd in front and directly hit the Han Eight Banner Formation Zheng that follows behind
In doing so, it is mostly to intercept and shoot at the enemy's follow-up troops.
It's just that this kind of shelling tactic has not been used in a full-fledged battle all along.
No, if you want to blame it, the enemy you encountered before is too weak, and the artillery officers and men simply can't find the opportunity to use this tactic.
However, this tactic is mainly prepared for the use of new flowering shells.
In order to deal with the trench tactics of those junior firearms units in the future.
Therefore, this mode of artillery fighting has always been the main training subject for artillery officers and men.
Although they have not been engaged in actual combat, the artillery officers and men are very skilled in operation and will not make any mistakes.
But in order to hide a hand, wait for the real Armageddon to begin, and then give the Tartar a big surprise, it is not good to use the powerful flowering bullet now, so I have to use the solid bullet.
However, when using solid bullets to hang and fire, the power will be reduced a lot, and the shells are not easy to land in the case of high parabolic ballistics, resulting in a ricochet effect, and the damage to the enemy infantry will be weakened a lot.
After the order of the commander of the artillery brigade was issued, the various artillery operators, with the assistance of the observers, began to accurately adjust the muzzle elevation angle of the gun, and adopted the method of firing at a high elevation angle.
Although this will reduce the lethality of solid shells, the artillerymen can't take care of so much at this time.
Anyway, their Governor Lu Dadu had an order not to kill or injure the people in front of him, and to find a way to drive these people in the direction of the middle of his camp.
As long as these people enter the gate of their own camp, they will be able to escape, and they will then be taken to the rear of the camp, and will be received by the soldiers of the logistics brigade for screening and interrogation.
So these artillerymen also got an order, that is, to find a way to use cannons, to fire at both flanks of the enemy at the same time, forcing the people to instinctively converge in the center.
Under the drive of the soldiers and cannonballs of the Han army with blue flags, until those Liaodong people were driven into Zheng, their own camp
Of course, Lu Xiangsheng also ordered to send people out to guide them, so as not to let those suffering people in Liaodong run around the school
In this way, most of these people can be saved.
In addition, Lu Xiangsheng was also ready to directly mobilize the cavalry brigade to rush out to intercept the Han army's blue flag army, rescue some people who were lagging behind, and wantonly kill those traitor slave soldiers.
Lu Xiangsheng came up with such a method, whether it can work or not depends on the implementation of his orders by the generals below.
In addition, it also depends on whether these ordinary people will obediently follow his plan and finally escape to Zheng in his own camp
This is already the best he can do, if things don't go as he expected, these Liaodong people are not driven into the front of his camp by cannonballs and those traitor slave soldiers
Then he has no other better way, he can only order indiscriminate shooting, whether he can escape this catastrophe depends on the creation of those Liaodong people.
After all, the lives of his soldiers are much more valuable than the lives of these clothed and servile people, and it is impossible to let those soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army enter the Zheng of their own position
In fact, if it weren't for the Tartar who used this kind of trick as soon as he came up, a 10,000-strong team of blue flags with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in front of him would not be anything at all.
It only takes the soldiers of the musket brigade that each regiment has just formed and configured to come to a dozen rounds of volleys of guns to easily wipe them out, where is there such trouble.
Manggultai stood far away in the midst of the army, sitting on horseback with a cruel smile on his face.
He looked with great interest at the blue-flag generals of the Han army under his command, driving the thousands of Liaodong people and slowly walking towards the defense line of the Ming New Army.
He saw the camp of the Ming New Army opposite, it seemed to be a little chaotic, this time the test effect seemed to be better than he imagined, and he thought with some feelings:
"It seems that the best way to deal with the Han people is to use a large number of coated minions and a large number of cannon fodder."
"Well, Lao Tzu wants to suggest to the dead fat man of Huang Taiji that it is necessary to expand the Eight Banners of the Han Army in large quantities."
He suddenly had an idea, "If we Houjin want to enter the Central Plains, how can we rely on the more than one million people in our area enough?" It is the right way to have to form a large number of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and to use Han people to kill Han people! ”
"In the future, when you enter the fat Central Plains, there are so many Han people, at least you have to kill more than half of them! And we Houjin warriors alone can't do it at all. ”
"Haha! Let those Han people form a large number of Han Eight Banners, and go crazy to kill their Han people, it's cool and fast, Lao Tzu is also a talented strategic master! ”
……
The eight banners of the Han army of about 10,000 people with blue flags and horses drove thousands of people from Liaodong in front of them like wolves.
They themselves hid behind these Liaodong people, and they were so arrogant, approaching the defense line of the Blue Dragon Legion.
These hardcore traitor generals thought viciously: Aren't you sharp-armed? Can strong crossbows and muskets pierce armor still go far? But your arrows and bullets will not turn around!
Lao Tzu is hiding behind these Liaodong people, can you still hit Lao Tzu?
If you want to kill Lao Tzu, then you should kill all these cannon fodder of the people of Liaodong first!
Therefore, they were very relieved, and constantly used guns or scabbards to whip the people of Liaodong who were moving slowly in front.
If anyone disobeys and tries to stop, or wants to turn around and flee, these hardcore traitors will immediately stab them through with spears or slash them on the spot with knives.
Many Liaodong people who were unwilling to serve as meat shields for the Tartars and traitors fell in a pool of blood on the way, and became the souls of these traitors and slave soldiers.
Under such persecution, many people in Liaodong wept bitterly, but they had to slowly drag their heavy steps towards the camp of the Qinglong Legion.
The soldiers on the defense line of the Blue Dragon Legion breathed fire one by one, looking at the scene in front of them, they all gritted their steel teeth with hatred, but they were helpless.
One by one, they could only clench the weapons in their hands with all their might, and watched these suffering people being driven towards them by these traitor slave soldiers.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, who was standing on the high platform of the Chinese army, couldn't hold back anymore, and he said to Lu Xiangguan, the deputy commander of the regiment on the side:
"Xiangguan, this place will be temporarily handed over to your command, I will lead the soldiers of the sharpshooter team, and then rush out with the soldiers of the cavalry brigade together, and I have to kill all these hardcore traitors!"
"Not really! I, Lu Xiangsheng, am ashamed to be a seven-foot man! ”
He turned to the sharpshooters and shouted, "Come with me!" ”
This sharpshooter team has only fifteen people, and everyone is equipped with two new-style short guns, all of which are big killing weapons, and they will not be exposed to people easily.
"Yes!"
They immediately received the order, quickly went out of the ranks, followed Lu Xiangsheng, quickly walked down the high platform, and walked briskly towards the side of the front line.
There, Xiong Ba had already led 10,000 soldiers of the cavalry brigade of the Third Division, fully armed, with short guns and crossbows, ready to charge.
"You have heard it clearly to Lao Tzu, and after a while, as soon as the order to charge is given, you will beat Lao Tzu hard! Any hardcore traitor, don't let it go this time! They must be made to pay the price in blood! ”
"At the same time, we must also pay attention not to let the people run around, so as not to cause chaos and be taken advantage of by the Tartars!"
"We will first let a dozen cavalry soldiers out of the camp and go to guide those Liaodong people into the camp."
"As long as they escape into the gate directly in front of our camp, there will be logistics troops to respond, and they can be rescued!"
Lu Xiangsheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he coldly gave the final order to the cavalry generals who were about to lead the attack.
He was really angry with those hardcore traitor slave soldiers, this kind of dog thing that turned his back on his ancestors and let them live in the world for one more second is a waste and polluting the air!
In the future, when he sees this kind of hardcore traitor, he will have to wipe out all of them one by one!
He now finally understood why His Majesty the Emperor always liked to go on a killing spree.
There are really some people who don't deserve to live in this world at all, not even their nine clans!
