Chapter 408: Cao Dingjiao's New Tactics
Not long after Sun Chuanting left here, the fire guns and bows and arrows in the hands of the Qin soldiers spewed out fire and cold light, and lead bullets and sharp arrows pierced the bodies of these deserters.
Whether it is the general manager with a high position, or the pawn who oppresses the people on weekdays, they have all become a pile of corpses.
The Qin soldiers trained by Sun Chuanting showed an unprecedented sense of battle in the Ming Dynasty, completely discarding personal emotions and absolutely obeying Sun Chuanting's orders.
In the face of the Ming army, which got along day and night, he usually had a good friendship with some of these officers and soldiers, and he still obeyed Sun Chuanting's orders without hesitation.
This absolute obedience to military orders is very rare even in the Liaodong Border Army, and the will to fight is even better than that of the Cao family's army.
After this purge, the only passage from the northwest to the Central Plains, the west gate of the danger of the letter was completely in the hands of Sun Chuanting.
The consequences were also very great, the defenders of Tongguan Wei were sharply reduced, and they could not prevent the attack of the 200,000 army of thieves.
Many of Qin Bing's guerrilla generals were worried about this matter, but Sun Chuanting was not worried at all.
It's not that Sun Chuanting has a backhand, and it's not that Sun Chuanting can gather more Ming troops.
Because of him.
From the beginning to the end, there was no intention to defend Tongguanwei.
The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and the day of the decisive battle between the two sides is getting closer and closer.
The generals of the Qin soldiers, who had always been in a very anxious mood, saw that the decisive day was approaching, but they calmed down.
It's a big deal.
In the backyard of the Yamen of the General Army.
Sun Chuanting, who was reading quietly, was a little restless these days, put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at the small lake with a layer of fog in the distance.
It didn't take long for Hu Dawei, who became Sun Chuanting's personal guard, to replace the tattered mandarin duck battle jacket on his body with a six-petal bright helmet, soap-colored armor, hard-soled military boots, and a brand-new waist knife.
With a group of sergeants who looked more like scholars, they walked into the courtyard, although they were dressed in the costumes of the prince's guard.
This group of sergeants was none other than the students of the Army's Lecture Hall who rushed to Tongguanwei, and the only one of the three squad leaders led by Cao Bianjiao was here, and the squad leader of the Special Operations Section and the Squad Leader of the Intelligence Section took the two classes of students to nowhere they went.
When Cao Bianjiao was in Liaodong, he once killed Jiannu side by side with this Sun Zongbing, and Sun Chuanting was Cao Wenzhao's staff member, which was regarded as his own family.
Cao Bianjiao knew the rules of the army very well, and he didn't rely on his family background and affection like the second ancestor on this occasion, so he solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Cao Bianjiao, a student of the first phase of the army martial arts hall and the head of the infantry department, has seen General Sun. ”
When Sun Chuanting saw these dusty army martial arts students, his mind calmed down a lot, and asked, "How many people did Ding Jiao bring?" ”
Seeming to be asking about the number of reinforcements, Cao Bianjiao knew very well that Sun Chuanting was asking how many artillery pieces he had brought: "Commander Cao brought a total of 217 Type 05 field guns. ”
As a member of the industrial school, Sun Chuanting clearly knows the models of various artillery pieces of the Daming Arms Company, and the standardized artillery still adheres to the easy-to-understand naming method.
05 is the range of the artillery, what is the number, how far is the firing range, and the range of the 05 type is five miles.
Sun appeared in court and heard that the artillery brought by Cao Dingjiao this time was all Type 05 field guns, and he rarely showed a smile.
However, there was more good news that Cao Bianjiao brought him: "In addition, the industrialists of the industrial faction found the workers' ticket numbers and donated 10,000 doumi-style rifles, as well as 2 million lead bullets and gunpowder. ”
When Sun Chuanting heard 10,000 doumi-style rifles, he suddenly stopped talking.
He negotiated with the bureaucratic squires here for many days for the food of the Ming soldiers, and he was accustomed to all kinds of prevarications, as if the national disaster had nothing to do with the bureaucrats and gentry.
With Sun Chuanting's open-mindedness, he almost killed all those bureaucratic squires, but you can imagine how much anger those bureaucratic squires brought to Sun Chuanting in the face of the first four words of national disaster.
The potato flour donated by the industrialists some time ago solved the problem of grain and grass, which was enough to make Sun Chuanting feel emotional, and he felt that there is still a group of good people who serve the country and the people in this world.
Unexpectedly, in order to support a big war that everyone from the Ming court to the thieves thought would be lost, these industrialists did not hesitate to borrow money, and sent a batch of firearms to the front-line soldiers.
What Sun Chuanting didn't expect was that Zhu Shun, who was the highest prohibited Doumi rifle of the Daming Arms Company, was actually relieved to hand over a batch to him.
Sun Chuanting, who had a lot of emotion in his chest, didn't say a word, but just walked out of the general army's yamen.
This battle is not just to help the Ming Dynasty.
also in order not to disappoint the group of people who silently supported him Sun Chuanting.
Come to the barracks in the northwest corner of the Tongguan Acropolis.
Cao Dingjiao was directing the artillerymen to send the Type 05 field guns to the barracks and cover them with a layer of tarpaulin to prevent the rain from wetting these precious artillery.
At the gate, Cao Dingjiao was about to walk in with a waist knife on his shoulder, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned around to see a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar riding on a war horse and slowing down the horse's hooves.
There was only one Confucian who dared to stay in the Tongguan guard, and Cao Dingjiao didn't need to look at the person's appearance, but he also knew who came over, and arched his hand: "I've seen Mr. Sun." ”
Sun Chuanting put down the Liaodong horse in his crotch, and did not look at the Type 05 field guns with a black luster, nor did he look at the 10,000 doumi-style rifles donated by industrialists.
Just looked at Cao Dingjiao, this young man who was not very old, but his bearing was very calm.
smiled.
Sun Chuanting had a strategy in his chest, and for the first time he independently led the troops to fight against the 200,000 army of thieves, he often defeated officers and soldiers and even defeated Hong Chengchou's army of thieves.
To say that you are not nervous is absolutely false.
Hong Chengchou became the governor of the three sides and also added the title of secretary of the military department, relying not on the shadow of his ancestors, but on his military exploits little by little.
is such a trilateral governor who can fight well, especially good at dealing with rogues, but he was still defeated by the thieves, and he still cowered in Chang'an City and did not dare to come out.
In the face of such a brave and good fight, it can no longer be described as a thief, and with an army of 200,000 people who is still about the same, who will not be nervous.
Even Sun Chengzong will be nervous here, and he will be helpless.
The moment he saw Cao Dingjiao, Sun Chuanting lost the slightest nervousness.
Sun Chuanting took the initiative to calculate the Donglin Party in the court this time, and asked them to help send Cao Dingjiao here, not for the standardized Type 05 field guns, nor for the group of gunners who were good at using artillery.
Just for Cao Dingjiao alone.
Because with Cao Dingjiao, it is enough to turn the entire northwest war around.
Sun Chuanting, who studied the new tactics, knew very well how powerful the new tactics Cao Dingjiao mastered.
Big enough to close the gap in strength between the two sides.
This new method of warfare is called.
Infantry and artillery coordination.
