Chapter 519 Pacify Jiangnan, go home and divide the fields
"It's kind of interesting!"
Yang Xin sat on the Taishi chair on the top of Shunke Mountain, holding a teacup and stilting Erlang's legs and said.
He was dressed in a python robe and wore a black hat, with a Qingluo umbrella cover on his head, and the brocade guards on both sides stood with the handle of the knife, very much the temperament of the eunuch villain in the movie......
I can't afford to waste it.
The appearance of rifled guns was a great threat to him.
Even if the rifled gun at this time is still very bad, it can still shoot the head within 150 meters, and when the United States rebelled against the British king, the Kentucky rifle could already snipe within 200 meters, and the guy who didn't shoot at Washington was said to have been killed by a Kentucky rifle bullet 400 meters away. And the predecessor of the Kentucky rifle was the Jaeger rifle, the Jaeger rifle is the product of this century, and a modern seventeenth-century Jaeger rifle is tested at a distance of ninety meters and has a dispersion accuracy of fifteen centimeters, which means that a well-trained gunner can easily shoot him in the head at a distance of ninety meters.
The previous one was a little farther away.
In order to lurk, they hid one hundred and thirty meters away.
But one of the six rifles still had an accurate hit, and the one in his face was an accident.
I can't afford to waste it.
Advances in technology have begun to take the unrivaled generals out of the field.
Their time has come to an end.
"See, they look more temperamental than us!"
Yang Xin said.
On the mountain plain a mile wide in front of him, a real battle was about to begin.
However, the assault on Maofeng had already begun, and Kong Youde led a brigade of Dangkou troops to storm the fortress of Changjie's army with the support of eight mortar cannons, which was only a small stockade made of wood and stone, after all, the cost of building a fortress on a hill close to two hundred meters above sea level was still too high. Besides, this fortress only covered the flank of the Xishan Fort, and Xu Xiake's gang never thought that Yang Xin would attack from this direction, and he also carried a mortar that could be carried to the top of the mountain.
After this thing set up a fortress to bombard Toumao Peak in Ermao Peak, Qian Shijin, who was sitting in Hengshan, knew that he had to attack.
Then the Chang'an army attacked.
This legion, with two infantry brigades and 500 cavalry, with the help of hired Dutch officers, laid out the standard Dutch brigade formation on this narrow mountain plain, which was one mile wide and five miles long.
Three-line array, to be precise.
The first two battalions formed the forward, each battalion was a phalanx, with muskets on both sides of the spears in the middle, and the muskets were in a team of forty people, leaving passages between the teams, that is, they learned the latest, because this was improved by the Dutch later, and there was no need for passages between each column. In addition, there were sixty musketeers in front of the spearmen, and the sum of these two battalions was actually a standard temporary regiment, and the standard combat unit of the Morris system was a battalion at the bottom, but in actual combat, two battalions were usually dispatched in a temporary regiment.
Behind the front was the real main force, a huge line of four battalions that almost completely cut off the one-mile-wide mountain pass.
There were two more battalions in the back.
A total of eight battalions formed a three-line formation of the first two, the middle four, and the second rear.
As for the cannons are smashing the hillsides on both sides of the front, relying on the height to overlook the battlefield, and the cavalry is in formation next to them to provide protection, this cavalry is obviously too deeply poisoned, and you can't see the spear, it should be purely playing the European cavalry rotation fire, at this time the Dutch are still holding this point, in fact, the European cavalry is like this, even the cavalry attack is to play with muskets to play rotational shooting, only the ancient second master was educated by the winged cavalry before it began to change.
But the new cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is basically not so stupid, all of them are Cao Wenzhao's set, when rushing the infantry with muskets, the cavalry attack is the spear first hit a wave, and after colliding together, pull out the gun and paste the face.
At this moment, the entire Chang'an army has been dispatched.
The regiment organized by the Jiahuhang gentry trained eight battalions, each battalion of 550 men, and there was a cavalry of 500 men left, as for the auxiliary troops, they were not ready to go out to fight, and the transportation and so on in the homeland were all handed over to the gentry.
Obviously, Qian Shijin wants to go all out and comfort his brother's spirit in the sky here.
"I heard that they hired a Dutchman over there, and he went to this kind of school, and he learned to fight with a famous general, and he also brought a military book written by that famous general."
Yang Huan said.
"Uh, are there really any Maurice students?"
Yang Xin said somewhat unexpectedly.
However, Morris's military academy seems to have trained more than 1,000 students, and there is one who is unsuccessful in the army, and it is not impossible to take this Morris drill to Daming to eat, in the end, the Dutch are just that little army, and Morris has been trying to make a complete version of 24,000 people in his life The third-line formation has not been able to do so.
However, the three-line array in front of me is still presentable.
And all the spearmen are all half-armor, and the musketeers are all cuirasses, and they have a certain ricochet effect with a broken line on their chests, in fact, the musketeers are completely unnecessary, but they are panicked if they don't wear them, and even Yang Xin is also matched. Anyway, it's just a little and a half millimeters, and it's just a bow and arrow, but the spearmen are really heavily armored, and their half-body armor is two millimeters or even thicker, and they are basically immune to bows and arrows, as for muskets......
Leave that to fate!
"Speaking of which, our team is really not as neat as theirs."
Yang Huan said.
The Bandit army has also been arrayed.
There is no difference between the battalion-level combination of the Dangkou army and the Chang'an army, the difference is that Yang Xin did not set up a three-line formation, but pressed the main force to the first line, leaving only two battalions of reserves behind, and the Chang'an army needs to consider the retreat in the event of defeat, Yang Xin does not consider this at all.
Behind him is the militia district.
Behind Chang Anjun were countless tenants who were expecting him to win.
There is a difference in principle in this point, but his line has also been slightly modified, and there are two small spear formations in front of the line similar to Gu Erye, mainly because the battlefield is too narrow, and he can't put it too wide, and there is not much difference between these two formations. In fact, all the formations of this era are not decisive, and the most backward Spanish phalanx is also still used in Europe.
The most important thing in these years is not to be afraid of death.
"Bring it!"
Yang Xin stretched out his hand and said.
Yang Huan hurriedly beckoned, and the soldier next to him immediately raised a huge copper horn.
Yang Dudu's loudspeaker has been upgraded, and the small horn effect was too poor before, so such a giant one was specially made, which was specially placed on a wooden shelf, and a pitching structure was designed underneath, which could adjust the angle to a certain direction. Then Yang Dudu walked to the horn, first adjusted the angle, aimed at the formation of the Dangkou army about four hundred meters away in a straight line under the mountain, and then took a deep breath and roared like a chartered woman......
"Brothers!"
His roar instantly shook the mountains and forests.
A large flock of birds flew in shock.
The soldiers in the formation below turned their heads to look at the top of the mountain......
"Sentry chief, what did Master Hou say?"
Liu Zhe, the commander of the Dangkou army, asked their sentry commander Li Jin curiously.
Li Jin, who has been promoted to the commander of the sentry, stands in front of the formation with a pole axe and gun, and there are two small flags behind him, which are used to communicate, and there is a flag bearer carrying a big flag next to him, and he also has a small flag behind him.
Li Jin raised his hand and motioned for him not to speak.
Even if Yang Dudu's voice is amplified, it is very ethereal when it spreads here.
Under the silent gaze of a freak, Li Jin listened attentively, and the voice continued to ethereal above their heads.
Suddenly, he showed excitement on his face......
"Master Hou said, after pacifying Jiangnan, he will take us home to divide the fields!"
He shouted.
Then the whole team burst into jubilation, and all the soldiers let out a roar of excitement, and then their roar spread to other posts, where there was also a cheer, and the boiling cheers kept coming, and more and more soldiers cheered because of the news.
However, at this time, a cannon on the artillery position of the Chang'an army on the opposite side spewed flames, and the whistling shells immediately hit the front of the formation......
"Don't be afraid, pacify Jiangnan, go home and divide the fields!"
Li Jin raised his axe and shouted.
At the same time, the cannon on this side fired, and in the rumbling of cannons and the whistling of shells overhead, these soldiers who really participated in the battle for the first time waited with fear, and suddenly there was a fierce roar, Li Jin instinctively dodged to the side, and at the same time as he dodged, a two-pound cannonball hit the spear array, and all of a sudden the flesh and blood were splashed, and even the sixth row of people fell with it.
"Steady!"
Li Jin roared.
At this moment, not only was he not afraid, but his body seemed to awaken something, and he was filled with an irrepressible desire to kill.
Liu Zhe led people to quickly carry out the dead bodies and wounded soldiers, and the soldiers with ambulances behind squeezed over from the gap and carried them away on stretchers, and then the substitute soldiers caught up from behind, everyone was still waiting there, and the artillery battle between the two sides continued. However, neither side invested in cavalry, and the cavalry on such terrain had nothing to do except for a frontal impact formation, but the cavalry of the Chang'an Army was limited, and it was useless to collide, and the number of cavalry of the Dangkou Army was much more than that of the Chang'an Army, but in such an environment, cavalry was used to ram hard......
In fact, this is not the environment, and it is rare for cavalry to crash into such an infantry formation.
The task of the cavalry is very simple, block the flank attack of the enemy cavalry, or attack the enemy's flank, and after victory, rely on speed to bypass the formation and attack its logistical supplies, and if it fails, it will have to be cut off by others.
Cavalry warfare is indeed the key to victory.
Because the defeat of the cavalry and the rout means that an army loses its logistics, loses its flanks, and even artillery is difficult to protect, then defeat is an inevitable result.
However, the real battle has to be fought by the infantry in the end.
Artillery bombardment, infantry rush, infantry is this fate!
"Herald, forward!"
Yang Xin, who was watching the battle from the top of the mountain, said.
