Chapter 817: Ding ~ Obtain Westernization Conditions
The "bang, bang, bang" gunfire rang out, and a long smoke ribbon immediately filled the air, and more than a dozen Western sergeants fell to the ground while running.
In the smoke of gunfire, a Dutchman shouted loudly in Dutch: "Shoot! ”
The thirty musketeers in the first row immediately stepped back to reload, the second-row musketeers raised their guns in an orderly manner, and the third-row musketeers were already holding their guns in both hands, ready to take their place.
The actions of the Dutch show that they are not idle people.
Under the continuous bombardment of the platoon guns, the Western Army that rushed forward was punched a gap, and the Western Army non-commissioned officers who were originally advancing in unison, the forward was a straight line, but at this time, with the soldiers in the middle rushing to death, it became a "concave" formation.
The reason why the West was the first to modernize its armed forces and achieve military change was not out of thin air, but because they had been fighting on the European continent for decades.
The Thirty Years' War, the Dutch Revolution, and the war prompted their technological development.
To win wars, countries need to pursue stronger equipment, and fighting wars costs money, and the central government needs more power, and more effective institutions.
It can be said that continuous wars have given birth to changes in the military, political, and institutional aspects of the West.
On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, the war also prompted the innovation of military equipment, such as the Franc machine, the red-coated cannon, the self-generated firearm, and later the Dutch clipper imitated by Zheng Chenggong, and China also made progress in the war, but it is a pity that these advances in exchange for blood were not inherited and developed well by the Qing court.
At this time, the Dutch became independent from Spain, replacing the old Spain and Portugal as the maritime hegemon, and the Anglo-Dutch dispute had not yet begun, and it was the time when the Dutch were at their strongest.
They crisscrossed the world, relied on gunboats on the sea, and killed them by platoon guns on land, and they had not yet encountered a problem that could not be solved by a few rounds of volleys, and today was no exception.
For a time, the Western Army, which was at the forefront, was beaten to the ground by the Dutch, which greatly boosted the morale of the former soldiers of the Ruan Army.
At this time, Liu Zongmin was chasing and killing the elephant soldiers of the Ruan army from behind, and suddenly there was an uproar behind him, and he turned his head to see that his front army was actually defeated by the Ruan army and rushed over like a tide.
If the normal layout is followed, the front army will inevitably collide with its own Chinese army, and finally cause a major defeat on the whole front, and the war can basically be over.
Liu Zongmin looked at the group of white clans, took the Ruan soldiers and soldiers, and drove the retreating Western soldiers, and from time to time released a slap to beat the Western army to death, making his face show surprise.
Liu Zongmin frowned, and finally a trace of nervousness was born in his heart. This group of Dutchmen succeeded in arousing his interest.
I didn't expect this group of white ghosts to have two brushes, and the weapons they held in their hands were Wei Jun's self-generated firearms, so they didn't light them and put them on fire.
Generally speaking, barbarians represent backwardness, and seeing the firearms in the hands of the Dutch surprised Liu Zongmin.
Sun Kewang has always wanted to get the drawings of the self-made firearm from Gao Yihuan, and dug up the craftsmen of the Western Wei Kingdom, who coveted this kind of firearm, but he didn't expect that a group of white clans would have such firearms.
"Order the left and right flanks to spread out, don't stand in the way of the rout!" Liu Zongmin saw that the front army was defeated, he did not panic at all, he shouted, then pulled the reins of his horse violently, gave up the pursuit of the elephant soldiers, and led the cavalry to gallop to the left flank, get out of the way, and let the rout flee.
"Okay!" Ruan Phuc saw the Dutchman's platoon of guns, which had an effect, and actually defeated the 5,000 soldiers of the front army of the Western Army, which made him instantly happy.
In fact, he had never seen the Dutch fire their guns in unison, and he didn't expect the Dutch to be so powerful.
After the defeat of the war elephant impact, Nguyen Phuc was on the verge of thinking that he was about to lose, but he did not expect that more than a hundred Dutchmen actually gave him a huge surprise.
"Kill!" Ruan Phuc was on the verge of roaring, and he was about to lead the rest of the soldiers to press up, but at this moment, there was a sudden roar of war horses on his side.
At this time, the elite of the Ruan army pursued and killed the front army of the Western Army, and Ruan Fuwei's Chinese army was exposed, and went around to Liu Zongmin on the left, seized the opportunity, and immediately led the cavalry to rush directly.
In the Central Plains, in order to run away, Liukou attached great importance to horses and mules, and Liu Zongmin fought on the road in the Central Plains, often leading the horse army, and had already comprehended some of his own unique tactics.
From time to time, he often used the infantry to deceive the defeat, attracting the officers and soldiers to chase, so that the pursuing officers and troops distanced themselves from the main force, while he led the horse army around the side of the battlefield, saw the opportunity, and then directly attacked the main general of the official army.
He has tried this kind of tactics for a hundred times, although the front army is not defeated by fraud today, but what does it matter? As long as the enemy's army is defeated, the battle situation will be changed immediately.
"It's over!" Ruan Fuwei's eyes bulged in shock, and he didn't notice that the cavalry of the Daoxi Army actually came around, making his whole person immediately fall into an ice cave.
At this time, Liu Zongmin led the cavalry to roar, the horse army was divided into two groups, one of nearly a thousand people, roaring and pounced on the Chinese army, the cavalry galloped and wound the arrows, and the "whoosh" arrows were shot, and the Ruan soldiers fell to the ground screaming again and again, and then the horse army quickly crashed into the formation, the war knife slashed, and the Ruan army immediately collapsed like a tide.
These Annan soldiers are okay to fight ambushes and engage in harassment, but they fight with dignified divisions, and there is no hope of victory at all.
Although there were war elephants and the Dutch to help them fight, their numbers were too small to affect the entire battlefield.
Originally, 2,000 cavalry could go straight to Nguyen Phuc Rim, but Liu Zongmin seemed to be very interested in that group of Dutch.
At this time, the Dutch noticed that the cavalry appeared behind them, and the formation immediately fell into confusion.
Their platoon guns can crush any tough enemy in the front, but when the enemy appears on the side and behind, the Dutchman's platoon gun formation looks very ordinary, not very powerful!
A cavalryman rushed forward, was shot down by the Dutch musket and fell off the horse, followed by a horseman, the knife was chopped off the head, cut on the plate armor of the Dutch, sparks splashed, the cavalry face was shocked, about to be stabbed by the Dutch musketeer, Liu Zongmin galloped, an iron spear pierced out, the sharp spearhead in the inertia of the war horse, directly stabbed the Dutch chest, the cuirass was dented, the Dutch vomited blood and flew upside down, the cuirass was not pierced......
In Shenglong City, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound, like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and the defenders on the city only felt that the city walls were undulating, and their entire bodies were thrown away in an instant.
A section of the city wall and the ground in the north city suddenly rose high, and then fell heavily, the process was only in an instant, as if it was an earthquake, and the solid city of Annam collapsed in an instant in the explosion, and a gap of three zhang appeared.
In the distance, under the banner of the king, Sun Kewang pulled out the knife, and there was an angry roar, "Kill!" ”
Nearly 10,000 Western soldiers and soldiers in the wilderness suddenly roared in unison, holding their weapons high and charging, and before the smoke and dust dissipated, the Western soldiers swarmed in and entered the city through the gap......
