Humans are afraid of death, but they are even more afraid of the unknown. Please search for Baidu () The new style * adopted by the Ming army directly sealed the entrance of a Tibetan cave. Looking at the tight entrance of the cave that was blocked by large and small stones after the dust and smoke dissipated, the Qing soldiers who saw a Qing army team enter were suddenly stunned, which means that the people who entered the cave will starve to death inside, and the tens of thousands of catties of stones blocked at the entrance of the cave are not something that the team in the cave can clean up.

A few of the Qing soldiers who were close to the explosion site were injured by the flying debris and wailed, but everyone couldn't stop their mouths at this time. Almost every Qing soldier at the scene was thinking about what means the Ming army used to blow up this hole, and the * they had seen was not so powerful.

Before they could figure out the methods of the Ming army, these Qing soldiers unconsciously stayed away from all the cliffs and caves, for fear that the rocks above their heads would suddenly collapse. With such an inexplicable way of dying, they are more willing to face the guns and bullets of the Ming army, and at least they have a chance to get a capital back.

The Qing soldiers who were driven into the valley by the Ming army were actually eight teams of men and horses, about 300 people. Because it has 4 teams that have been merged into 2 teams before. Yue Tuo and Zilharang picked up more than 20,000 people stationed in Beizhen, and a total of more than 900 new Manchurians who were familiar with hunting in the mountains and forests.

The so-called familiarity here does not mean that they can shoot prey in the mountains and forests with weapons, but that they can stay in the mountains and forests for ten days and half a month even if they only carry a pair of bows and arrows and a few supplies. Of course, surrounded by the Ming army, these Qing army squads could not be distracted from hunting and supplementing food, so they could not survive in the wild for such a long time.

But even so, these Qing soldiers with rich experience in mountain and forest life want ordinary soldiers to be more suitable for walking and surviving in the mountains and forests. However, as individuals, these Qing soldiers all have special experience of living in the mountains and forests, but as an army, they do not have targeted training to fight in the mountains and forests.

Yue Tuo simply organized a group of experienced hunters into an army, and then used their own talents to use their own strength. On the side of the Ming army, although the officers and men of the 33rd Division of the Ming Army also learned the experience of the white pole soldiers in the mountain survival and operation, the officers of the General Staff Department summarized the personal experience of the white pole soldiers in the mountain survival and operation, so as to establish various regulations and precautions in a targeted manner, so that a group of ordinary soldiers can be familiar with how to cooperate in the mountain terrain.

The Ming army's personal experience in surviving in the mountains and forests may be far inferior to these old hunters of the Qing army, but in the sense of cooperating with the battle, the Ming army is obviously more like a real army. In the process of encircling and suppressing these Qing army squads, the soldiers of the Ming army are also growing rapidly, so as to turn the previous rigid regulations into their own survivability. Those soldiers of the Ming army who could not learn and apply the regulations were basically eliminated by death.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Qing army were lost their normal minds by the explosion of the Ming army, the development of the subsequent battle situation has completely fallen under the control of the Ming army. Previously, although the Qing army squads were forced to move in one direction by the Ming army, with their experience in mountain and forest hunting, the Ming army could not accurately judge the movement trajectory of these Qing army squads, unless they disturbed the birds and animals when they moved.

But as these Qing troops lost their sense of normalcy, their shortcomings as an immature army were exposed. When threatened, it is difficult for ordinary people, except for trained soldiers, to continue to remain calm and make judgments, but will choose to leave the danger zone as quickly as possible, especially when they are in a group, most people will choose to move with the group.

Although the Eight Banners system pays attention to the fact that if you go out, you will be a soldier and if you enter the people, it is not fundamentally different from the Han people's militia, and this is still a semi-professional military establishment. It's just that most of the Manchu people have the habit of hunting, so the Eight Banners militia is more organized and combative.

During the Nurhachi period, only the white-armored soldiers and the red-armored soldiers of the Eight Banners were truly professional soldiers, the former being professional samurai who were completely detached from production, while the latter was still not completely detached from labor production. It's just that in the later period of Nurhachi, the Eight Banners fought all the year round, and they had no time to take care of production, and the materials intercepted from the Ming Army and the Han people in Liaodong were enough to feed the Eight Banners, which made this semi-professional army become a de facto professional army, and this was also the time when the Eight Banners Army was the most powerful.

However, this kind of national policy of plundering was unsustainable, and by the last years of Nurhachi, the social economy of Houjin had almost completely paralyzed, and the price of doumi reached a high price of one tael of silver. Not to mention that the Han people in Liaodong fled one after another, and even the Manchurians began to flee.

After Huangtai Jitai, he began to reverse some of Nurhachi's erroneous policies, protect the lives and property of the Han people, restore the production activities of the Eight Banners, and restore the social production of the Houjin, which can be regarded as reversing the end of the bankruptcy of the domestic economy. However, this also inevitably led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners, and labor production and combat organization are completely different things, especially the Eight Banners Army, which relied on battlefield elimination, and its combat effectiveness declined even more.

In addition, in order to break the control of the banner owners over the soldiers of their own banners, Huang Taiji constantly changed Niu Lu and filled in new Manchurians to break the old power system formed within the Eight Banners, which inevitably undermined the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners. Although Huang Taiji issued various military disciplines to strengthen the discipline and organization of the Eight Banners Army.

But in this era, his prestige is really inferior to that of him in another time and space, which also makes the discipline and organization of Eight Banners far inferior to that of another time and space. And these Saurons, who have been added to the Eight Banners for less than two or three years, have not experienced a major foreign war in these two or three years, and although they are brave as ordinary people, they still have not transformed into a qualified soldier psychologically.

The difference between a soldier and an ordinary person is not in the ordinary life, but in the performance of the response when the time of crisis comes. Perhaps in peacetime, the combat skills of these Sauronians are on par with the Old Eight Banners, or even better. But when the crisis came, their performance was very different.

Although the explosion of the Ming army also shocked them, these old Eight Banners were still able to calm down and try to command their subordinates not to mess up. But by this time, fear had overwhelmed the new Manchurians, and they began to flee into the nearest woods in droves, completely ignoring the orders of these old Eight Banners.

Crowds are scattered in the woods and are rarely noticed. But if the crowd gathers to act, it is easier to observe. Especially at present, the Ming army has set up dozens of lookout posts on high places, so it quickly judged the direction of most of the Qing army's actions.

After receiving the message from the observation post, the Ming army at Goose Head Peak immediately implemented a plan for the valley and jungle where these Qing troops fled into the valley. It should be said that the artillery bombardment of the Ming army was not as good as expected, because of the shelter of leaves and the unevenness of the ground, even if the Ming army had already marked the shooting of Zhuyuan, the solid bullet could not hit a few Qing soldiers.

However, under the condition that the Ming army was chasing behind them, the Qing soldiers who had not recovered from the explosion just now suddenly encountered artillery bombardment, which made them even more frightened and lost their thinking ability and began to flee. The Ming army did not even have time to carry out the plan of arson, and the Qing soldiers of about 200 men had already run to the other side of the valley, out of the protection of the woods.

By this time, these leaders of the Qing army had finally come to their senses. They immediately realized that if they wanted to return to Shenyang alive, they could only risk crossing two lines of heaven or eighteen kicks. Otherwise, while their tracks are exposed, staying here is waiting for death.

After turning over the two lines of heaven is still within the control of the Ming army, turning over the eighteen kicks can lead to Wanghai Mountain, which is still under the control of the Qing army. Because of the steepness of these two mountains, they could not garrison too many troops, so these Qing troops summed up and thought that there were still some opportunities to forcibly climb over. As for the Goose Head Peak behind them, although the shape of the mountain was relatively gentle, the sound of artillery on the front had dispelled their desire to attack.

The speed of the pursuit of the Ming army behind them made these Qing troops understand that they had one or two opportunities to attack these two mountains. Unsure of which mountain would be easier to capture, after a short discussion, the Qing army was divided into three groups. Two teams of 50 people, divided into 18 kicks and two lines of heaven, the remaining 100 people as a reserve, once it is determined that the garrison on a certain hill is relatively weak, the reserve team to attack.

Although everyone wants to be able to pass through the Eighteen Kicks, as long as they can leave this Jedi first, it is not impossible to cross the two lines of heaven and find an opportunity to return to their own defense. Almost all of them did not notice that their mentality at this time had changed from the desire to be rewarded for meritorious service before setting off, to the fact that they were now breaking through the encirclement of the Ming army as soon as possible and returning safely.

As these Qing troops expected, in order not to alarm them, the Ming army did not deliberately strengthen the defense of the two-line sky and the eighteen kicks. In addition to the fact that the two baggage troops have delivered some supplies to these two strongholds in the past few days, leaving some personnel and new weapons, the troops of the two fronts and the eighteen kicks are all in a platoon, about 80 people.

Wei Chenxi, who had received the telegram from his nephew, was staying at the top of the eighteenth foot with five or six followers, waiting for the attack of these Qing troops, so as to show the military the power and advantages of the deer hunting gun.

As a folk person, Wei Chenxi doesn't have to appear here in person, the entourage around him are all excellent deer hunting masters from Taiwan, and their understanding of this deer hunting gun is no less than his.

It didn't take much effort for them to teach these Ming soldiers how to load, aim, and shoot this deer hunting gun. In fact, the difference between the deer hunting gun and the ordinary musket is only two more rifling, the wooden actuator becomes an iron actuator, the bullet changes from a round shape to a cylindrical shape, and the other shooting principles have not changed.

Therefore, it is easy for the soldiers of the Ming army to master the use of this musket, but for Wei Chenxi, this is not just a matter of solving a little trouble for the military to get an order, but to let the weapons produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau enter the military's field of vision, so as to get a good opportunity to compete with the weapon manufacturing institute under the weapon monitoring system, and he can't help but pay attention to it and appear on the battlefield in person.
