Chapter Seventy-Four: The Battle of Changsha II

It's not that the mandarin duck array is bad.

But the Mandarin Duck Formation is a kind of hand-to-hand combat after all.

At this moment, the impact of the Dian army looks huge, but in Zhang Xuan's view, there is a long-lost sense of familiarity, yes, it is the tactics that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai used to deal with the official army. I can't talk about crowd tactics, but there is no too detailed planning, just relying on the number of people to rush forward.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai didn't know that the effect was actually not good, and they were often defeated by the official army with a small number of troops.

It's that they often lack the time to train the following. As a last resort.

Now the situation has turned over, but it is Zhang Xuan's department, after several years of tempering, with strict discipline and rich experience. Well equipped. However, Nanming's army is mostly new recruits, and the equipment is shoddy, and the generals at all levels, although there are some excellent ones. But most of them are indiscriminate.

I can only rush like this.

In Zhang Xuan's mind, He Hutou was here, and the six rows of guns were in a row, and they couldn't fight.

But Xu Du is here, which is a way of playing.

"Ready."

The large shields were spliced together, as if they were a wall, and on each large shield there was an unstoppable wolf with its head exposed, and the other soldiers were behind the big shield. One by one, the firebolts came out.

"Tiger." All the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Bang." With a bang, countless firearms shot out in a volley.

Xu Du is not an elm pimple, but General Qi's aura is too great, and he doesn't dare to easily change some of General Qi's laws. However, in terms of increasing the number of firearms, Xu Du and Zhang Xuan are the same, in fact, not only Xu Du is consistent with Zhang Xuan, but also with Qi Jiguang, and when General Qi was guarding Xuanda, he also tried his best to increase the number of firearms.

However, in order to ensure the integrity of the Mandarin Duck Array, Xu Du just added some firecrackers and placed them behind the Mandarin Duck Array.

Zhang Xuan's firearm tactics against the Xia army were even a little overkill, in order to avoid the shortcomings that would occur without range, Zhang Xuan's request was to get closer. So much so that the enemy's firearms and arrows have all been hit once, and this side firearms are only fired in a volley.

The shooting effect at close range is still good.

The non-commissioned soldiers of the Yunnan army who rushed to the front were almost all knocked away and fell to the ground in unison.

"Tiger." At the same time, the captain, who was carrying the big shield, rushed out.

The large shield, which is almost as tall as a human being, is like a wall. Heavily collided with the Dian army. For a moment, he hit his enemy's head and broke blood. As soon as the big shield moved, a group of mandarin duck formations behind it immediately unfolded.

The wolf, the spear, the round shield, and the fire hammer behind them were linked together for a while.

Even in the crowd, he did not move, but rushed in reverse, and for a time the form was reversed.

Longwu saw it from afar, gritting his teeth. Although he doesn't know about military affairs, in order to have the day when he goes into battle to command, he has read a lot of all kinds of military books, especially Qi Jiguang, as a famous general of this dynasty, is not far from the close, and he has the most reference points, so he reads the most detailed.

At first, I couldn't see it, but after a long time, I couldn't see it anywhere, especially the iconic ones in the Qi family's army, which were more like farm tools than weapons.

"I don't hate the summer thief to get the land south of the Yangtze River, but I hate how the summer thief got the Yiwu elite soldiers." Long Wu said, he still wanted to say something, but he also knew that almost everyone was looking at him now, and swallowed the words that followed. Secretly said: "General Qi is loyal and righteous, could it be that the descendants of the Qi family also betrayed the court, why is the world like this?" ”

He didn't know that since General Qi's nephew Qi Jin died in Liaodong, the Qi family could almost be regarded as having no descendants. The Zhejiang army fought for the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court did not say that it meant to rebuild the Zhejiang army. Now you lament that people don't work for you anymore.

Zhang Xuan watched the two sides fighting, and was not too surprised by such a situation.

Xu Du has been holding his breath. Moreover, the training of the Jinhua army has always been very strict, Zhang Xuan has never cut military salaries, and the area around Jinhua is the mainland of Daxia, and many people in Jinhua were appointed by Zhang Xuan at the beginning, so they also take care of military families.

Many problems have been solved, and these soldiers naturally fight hard to kill the enemy, and there are no worries.

Single-mindedly strive for a meritorious title.

It's just that in Zhang Xuan's opinion, although this is pressing the other party to fight, it is still not as good as directly using firepower to knock the enemy back. It seems that every modern person suffers from fire hunger in his bones. Even if it is complete, this firepower is still not enough, and naturally it cannot be appreciated, this kind of subtle to the extreme, with less and more tactical cooperation.

Zhang Xuan didn't appreciate it, but he didn't know that some people had already been shocked.

It's none other than Li Mingzhong.

Li Mingzhong is also a veteran, and he secretly said in his heart: "I can't imagine that after many years, I will be able to see the power of the Zhejiang army again, and even more so many years later, I will have to compete with the Zhejiang army." ”

Li Mingzhong is also a veteran of Liaodong, and the time he followed Mao Wenlong was not far from the time of the bloody battle of the Hunhe River in the first year of the Apocalypse, although he was not a party or a witness. But it can also be regarded as a part of the Liaodong battlefield. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as having a relationship with Qi Jin back then.

But I don't want to, recounting fate today, but it's a bad fate.

Li Mingzhong put away his messy thoughts, and said secretly: "No matter what you had to do with it before, when you go to the battlefield, only you live or die." ”

Li Mingzhong immediately ordered: "Order the Pu family brothers, drive the war elephants to rush forward, let Zhao Yinxuan, Hu Yiqing, recruit warriors, follow the war elephants, and rush over for me." Break the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes." Immediately someone agreed, and went down to give the order.

It seems that the command system of the Dian army is not as smooth as that of the Xia army, and they prefer to use people to send such military orders.

Li Mingzhong continued: "Send someone to ask Your Majesty for reinforcements, and tell Your Majesty that the ministers have done their best. ”

Li Mingzhong said as he tidied up his armor, put the gray hair on both sides under the helmet, and brought it back to him.

Following Mao Wenlong, two hundred soldiers turned to Liaodong, and the courage to open the Dongjiang River was burning in his chest, and he shouted loudly and said, "Kill." ”

For a time, Li Mingzhong's flag was moved forward.

If it was just a little contact just now, and now the 30,000 horses of the Dian army have been pressed by a large army.

Xu Du immediately felt struggling.

However, it is only a struggle.

Xu Du was almost at the forefront, and the place where he fought was more than ten steps in front of him. Four or five shields stood guard by his side, occasionally blocking the arrows that were fired at him. A war correspondent once said that if you don't shoot well enough, it's not close enough to the front line.

This sentence can also be slightly changed, that is, if you don't have an accurate grasp of the war, it means that you are not close enough to the front line.

When it comes to a real battle, the soldiers below are rarely able to give feedback from above, and more often let a general see and analyze it with his own eyes.

He could see that the Dian army was a good soldier.

In terms of Qi Jiguang's method of selecting troops, most of the soldiers and soldiers in Yunnan are hunters in the mountains, and they are poor, and the lives of hunters are not as beautiful as modern people think, lacking salt and grain, and there are a lot of them, and they are unstable. If you don't get it right, you'll starve.

Second, whoever can be a hunter must use some courage.

Although these Yunnan soldiers are not all hunters, there are indeed a lot of mountain people.

These mountain people have courage, and they are simple, dutiful, and they have their own little cunning and ferocity.

It's a good source of soldiers.

But the training was a little too bad. Wasted this good source of soldiers, if these people are allowed to be trained well, they will never be like today, even if there are many people, it is just a fight with the Jinhua army.

------A loud cry sounded, Xu Du felt a slight vibration on the ground, and the horse he sat down was also a little uneasy, and he anxiously scraped the ground with his front hooves.

"It's an elephant." Xu Du said secretly in his heart.

As Xu Du expected, the Dian soldiers on the opposite side of the Jinhua army suddenly split, and dozens of war elephants rushed over. The mountains shook for a while, and many people couldn't stand firm in the face of a behemoth like an elephant. Fall to the ground.
