Chapter 268 Arrange the troops

Stepping on the foot~~ The pace is like thunder.

The operation of more than one million horses, chariots, and ox carts made the land of Xuzhou tremble constantly, and even the dust was shocked to the sky!

A slight cool breeze blew, and there was a cold smell.

Step by step, the formation of the Han pro-army was still neat: 60,000 spear and shield armor soldiers were in the front, divided into three queues, and there were 20,000 people in one queue. This was followed by two columns of artillery, the first of which was one hundred and fifty bazookas, one of which had three gunners waiting. One gunner, one loader, one backup backup.

The second column was ninety mortars, a 60 mm caliber slapper, and five gunners were waiting.

There are five columns of people in front, but they are all lined up very closely, and the five columns of people only use a range of more than ten meters in front and back.

Five meters away from the two columns of artillery were the firecrackers, and the 60,000 firecrackers were still divided into three rows, and each row was 20,000 Chongzhen 19-style firecrackers.

A hundred meters behind the gunners were sixty 88 mm mountain guns, each of which was guarded by ten people.

There were 450 rocket gunners, 450 mortar gunners, and 600 mountain gunners, for a total of 1,400 regular artillerymen. There were also thousands of strong gunners, who also entered the ranks with firearms. When the divisions were opened, they were the main escort of the gunners.

After the final installation of firearms, the firearms actually numbered 22,000 men, and the total number of an imperial army: 62,000. The number of artillery of the Praetorian Guard was comparable, and the actual number of firearms was 12,000.

There were 30,000 heavy horsemen on each wing of the firearms array, and even the horses and men were wearing composite armor. In addition to the short spear and the big slash hanging on the horse, there was also a thick wooden shield on the lower part of the horse's neck and shoulder, one meter long and sixty centimeters wide.

The composite armor of the stone man weighs hundreds of pounds, and there is also a machete tied to the back, which is their weapon after falling off the horse.

The war horse weighs more than 600 catties, which is a thousand catties and two meters high green heavy horses can carry.

Behind the Imperial Army were 120,000 men of the Hanzhong Army and the Hannan Army, whose main purpose was to pursue the enemy and support the front. The 20,000 cavalry of the Hanzhong Hannan Army were also all armored and hung with medium-sized wooden shields, but they were light in size and were the cavalry with the least load. Their weapons are mainly one-handed machetes and crossbows, and the machete is a one-meter-long dog-legged scimitar, which combines the advantages of the Mongolian scimitar and the dog-legged knife. Although the cavalryman's one-handed crossbow was small, it had a stable range of up to 120 meters and could shoot through light armor at 60 meters.

At the end of the army was Chen Xiong's 50,000 Praetorian Guards, and the Praetorian Guards had 40,000 cavalry, including 30,000 Iron Guards. The guards were also armoured, but they were medium-sized and had no shields, so their weight was much lighter than that of their heavy riders.

Behind the Praetorian Guards were tens of thousands of ox carts and 30,000 empty war oxen. Ox carts are mostly empty and are mainly used for pursuit or fast movement. In fact, 30,000 war cattle are the real rearguard of the army.

More than 300,000 troops of the Han army marched forward in formation, and more than 700,000 Qing soldiers were all mobilized.

After observing for a moment, Yue Dong spoke: "The two sides in the middle of the Han army are the weakest places, and the ox carts in the rear are also its weak points. Surrounded by three and missing one, 200,000 green battalion soldiers and 100,000 cavalry were used to attack head-on to drag the Han pro-army, and then 300,000 cavalry charged the two new armies of the Han army. And our 40,000 Manchurian iron cavalry and 100,000 cavalry are responsible for blocking the Han queen's army to support the middle formation. Wait until the two new armies are defeated and destroyed, and victory will be ours. ”

Seeing that Yue Dong looked like himself, Ao Bai also hurriedly said: "The commander's strategy is very good, do you have any objections from the generals?" ”

The traitor generals naturally didn't dare to have an opinion, and they all immediately spoke: "Tsk, I will wait for the order and swear to drag the main force of the Han army to the death." ”

The Han people were not bears, and the Mongol generals immediately nodded.

"General, the 100,000 cavalry of our department are not suitable for facing the firecrackers." The little prince Kagunai immediately spoke, and if he didn't give his opinion, they would be finished.

Yue Dong said secretly angrily: "Kagunai, are you going to disobey the oath? ”

Kagunai did not panic, he represented the king of Mengdong, and the rest of the Mongolian cavalry was led by the generals of various departments, and now he was the highest Mongolian nobleman.

"General, I have heard for a long time that the iron guard of the King of Han is strong, why don't I let 100,000 warriors stop them! The Manchurian warrior Xiao Yong has a thick armor and should defeat the middle battle first. ”

This! Yue Dong was also puzzled, in fact, stopping King Han was the most dangerous!

"Prince Kagunai, do you dare to make a military order?" Ao Bai forced his eyes on the little prince, and an inexplicable killing intent also surged out.

Hehe~ After the little prince sneered, the Mongolian generals also began to dislike it! Although they look down on the soft eggs Horqin people, they are all Mongolian family!

"Why don't you dare! Our department must go all out to stop the King of Han. "So far, Kagunai can only take one step at a time.

Seeing the change in color of the Mongol generals, Yue Dong immediately spoke: "Okay, our Manchurian warriors and Mongolian iron cavalry will charge into battle together, and Marshal Kagunai will send you another 50,000 cavalry." Be sure to stop the King of Han, otherwise don't blame the ruthless military law. ”

"Honorable Order!" Kagunai secretly rejoiced, there were 50,000 Mongols under his command, and now there was cannon fodder.

After a little more deliberation, the people immediately went to the ministries.

Yue Dong led 10,000 Jurchens to attack the Han army in the front, while Ao Bai personally led 40,000 Tatars and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry to attack the Han army on the left flank. More than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry went to the right flank to encircle and kill the Hannan army, they mainly used to pinn down, and the real killing move was the hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry of Aobai.

Kagunai also rushed to the rear of the Han army with 150,000 cavalry, but in fact they only had 120,000. The Mongols of all tribes falsely reported their numbers, the most serious of which was the Kagunai Division, which was only 80,000 men, but claimed to be 100,000. Of course, there are not only 100,000 war horses, but 120,000.

The Qing army slowly changed, and the Han army began to stop. In fact, the Qing army could not hold out for long, and they preferred a decisive battle, even if there was no victory once, it could consume the troops of both sides, so that the food of the Qing army could last longer.

If the Han army dragged them, by a month or two, the Qing soldiers would be short of food.

But Chen Xiong didn't dare to let the Qing soldiers lack food, this group of barbaric nomadic animals, once there is a shortage of food, it doesn't matter if you are a woman or a child. Once they are very hungry, the first thing that comes to mind is the two-legged sheep of the Han people. When the five are chaotic, the old man and the man will still dislike it, and these beasts specially pick young children and young women to eat.

At that time, there was a shortage of food in Liaodong, and the old slave: Nurhachi killed one or two million Han people, and the food was not enough for two sheep to make do. In fact, this is also human nature, and the Han people often have a history of changing children and eating them, but they are not as crazy and enthusiastic as Hu Lu.

Chen Zhong commanded the armies in the formation, and Chen Xiong watched the battle from behind! Although he is not bad at asking himself, all the silver staff officers in the command are calmer than him!!

He always rushed to kill himself in a fit of rage, which was opposed by the whole empire. Even the faithful silvermen persuaded him.

In order to remain calm, he simply took a back seat to command.
