Chapter 268: Flesh and Blood VS Tartar Cavalry

The battlefield is the best teacher, and many squadron leaders and group leaders participate in the Zhongyi Hall to study, and their tactical literacy is certainly far beyond the comparison of ordinary people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone knows that the legs of the people on this flat dam can't outrun the four legs of the Tartar war horse, and the tripping nails in the face of the rushing Tartar cavalry may be able to tie the opponent's cavalry, but they can't run far at all.

In the past, there was no way to stop the opposing cavalry, but now after finding a way, one by one they are even more calm and fight with the Tartar cavalry.

The infantry is good at mountain warfare, and there are hills and highlands everywhere in southwest China (except for the Chengdu Plain and a few areas), and due to the influence of the living environment and living habits, the people in the southwest led by Sichuan are invincible in mountain warfare and hilly warfare.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang relied on the people of the southwest to go out of Qishan, so that Wei was exhausted.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Sichuan general Wu Jie defeated the soldiers and horses of the Jin State many times in the Qinling Mountains and Hanzhong regions, and some people even thought that Wu Jie's achievements could be compared with Yue Fei.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, under the leadership of the general Wu Jie, mountain cities were established in various parts of Sichuan, the most famous is the Sichuan Eight Pillars, which is the Diaoyu City, which not only killed the Mongolian nobles such as the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge, but also blocked the Mongol offensive before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, and did not let the Mongols realize the strategy of conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty by going down the Three Gorges River.

This was especially true in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although Haoge succeeded in beheading Zhang Xianzhong, and although hundreds of thousands of Western troops collapsed overnight, the Sichuan people still relied on the unyielding defeat of the Qing army (in history, the Manchu deputy marshal Yanxi County King Luo Luohun died on the way to Sichuan), drove the Qing army out of Chengdu, and confronted the Qing army for more than ten years, so that the Qing army only occupied a few areas north of Baoning Province.

In the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the squadron did not let little Japan enter the southwest region, mainly Sichuan.

In this era, at the beginning of the year, the protagonist relied on the rugged and narrow roads of the hills and mountains in northern Sichuan to calmly defeat the Manchu Tatar cavalry.

It can be said that if the cavalry can gallop across the plains and be invincible in the world, then in the southwest region with high mountains and deep ravines, and in the hilly areas, the people of the southwest led by Sichuan can be called a strong army, which is not much better than any strong army in history.

But now it is a plain, unlike the hilly area, on the plain the Sichuan people's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, to fight against the Manchu Tatar cavalry on the plain, it can only rely on flesh and blood.

Gou Wazi is a captain, when he was young, his family was poor and became Yao Huang, and later surrendered to the loyal army, and became a captain at the beginning of the year because of his bravery.

The Loyal and Righteous Army has such a habit, that is, officers above the captain level are mostly required to go to the Loyal and Righteous Hall for training for half a year. When Gou Wazi was still the squadron leader, he led the troops to fight during the day, and at night he participated in the literacy class under the leadership of the brigade secretary to learn to write.

After arriving at Zhongyitang, there was a seven-day queue training, followed by various tactical training for cavalry, artillery, and infantry during the day, and a new interpretation of the "Practical Record of Military Training" at night, and training in terrain, tactics, and teamwork.

After half a year of training, the dog baby felt that he had been reborn, and when he saw the Tatar cavalry entering, he knew that if he escaped, there was only one way to die, and what he could do now was to rely on the tricycle formation to block the Tatar cavalry.

Everyone was the first to fight separately with the heart of death, hoping to exchange their sacrifices for the precious defensive time of the brothers behind, and some even organized men and horses to fight the Tartars in the battle against the Tartars in the battle.

But how could the infantry be an opponent of the four-legged cavalry? The dog baby watched the brothers around him continue to fall, and launched a counter-charge with a squadron of muskets.

Far away at the Tartar who was wielding a knife to slash the brother, a dozen birds fired at close range, and after a volley, the rider on horseback shook twice and fell off the horse.

After a successful blow, everyone's confidence was greatly increased, and everyone continued to reload the bird guns and constantly shoot at close targets, so the third one actually shot four or five horsemen, stabilized the morale of the army a little, and everyone automatically regrouped around the dog baby.

And seeing that the brigade of Gouwazi actually relied on a small hill to shoot several horses, Tartar Niu Lu was obviously quite surprised, and now he was blowing the horn and leading more than 30 horsemen to rush over.

Everyone was terrified, and the best way to stop the Tartar cavalry was to use bicycles and tricycles to form a chariot formation. But now the Tartar cavalry came too quickly, and the defensive positions were not built at all.

When the dog baby was at a loss, he suddenly received an order from the general, suddenly realized, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "My lord said, the Tartar cavalry has nothing to fear, we can rely on the musketeers to support in the center to avoid being broken by the other party."

When everyone heard this, their morale was greatly boosted, and three or five soldiers formed a four-like military formation, and everyone relied on tricycles, bicycles, and side vans as cover, first delaying the momentum of the Tartar cavalry, and then relying on the advantage of numbers to fight with the other side.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the dog baby led the musket squadron to release cold guns and shoot continuously at the Tartar cavalry on horseback, which slowed down slowly.

Even so, the dog baby's brigade was also heavily damaged, and after a fierce battle, only forty or fifty people were able to stand up now, and everyone was covered in blood and wounded.

Seeing that everyone finally killed the Tartar cavalry, some soldiers were still dancing wildly with weapons in their hands, and some soldiers hugged the brothers who died in battle and cried with joy, the dog baby felt that his eyes were rosy, but when he saw that more than a dozen Tartar cavalry were coming, he shouted and woke everyone up from the excitement just now, everyone used the Tartar corpse to quickly plug the gap with various things, and then reorganized the five squads in the city to form a military formation to counterattack.

The battlefield is the best teacher, and after the initial panic, the various brigades have found a trick, which is to form small positions based on the mountain terrain, and then use artillery, muskets, bows and arrows to support each other and cooperate with each other, so that everyone can support each other and cooperate with each other.

After an hour of fierce fighting, although the position was still constantly broken by the Tartars, everyone was no longer as panicked as at the beginning, and some even retreated in an organized manner.

Nikan was the first to be quite proud, and although the loyal army was powerful, it was constantly pursued by the Tartar cavalry on the plains.

Although last year, the loyal and righteous army under the city of Shunqing took advantage of the convenience of the hilly terrain and relied on the advantage of position to contend with the Qing army, but now it is in the plain.

In the past, the cavalry that used to face the galloping on the plains had not yet been officially engaged, and the morale of the infantry was broken, and everyone had not yet waited for the commander's order to flee one by one, so that thousands of infantry became prey on the horseback of the cavalry.

Although the loyal army was very strong, although the various brigades of the cavalry turned around and fought hard, because there was not much cover, coupled with the unstable morale of the army, the position was constantly broken through by the Manchurian cavalry. (The ancient cold weapon engagement is completely like the modern army fighting bayonets, and without high morale, it is difficult to ensure a high will to fight if the determination to die is hard).

But this confusion did not last long, and slowly the loyal army found a way to confront, that is, the soldiers in the front relied on the incomplete positions to fight the Tartar cavalry, and the soldiers behind used muskets and artillery to support.

As the battle continued, the battlefield was in a stalemate, and seeing that the surrounding cavalry was killed and wounded a lot, Nikan ordered the Han army to push more than ten artillery pieces up in an attempt to break the stalemate.

Unlike the cavalry, the ancient artillery was mostly transported by mules and horses, and the movement was very slow, and now it is still thrown 4,5 miles away.

Finally pushed these more than 30 Francophone runs, and as soon as the two sides exchanged fire, Nikan once again felt a huge gap between them.

Although the Tartars had a large number of artillery pieces (a Han army flag), the opponent seemed to be fighting accurately, and even attacked with more than 30 artillery pieces of his own with a small number of enemies.

What made Nikan even more embarrassed was that due to the lack of artillery support, everyone could only rely on cavalry and war horses to attack the positions of the loyal army, and as time went on, the casualties of each armor continued to increase.

Nikan has the intention to retreat, but as Heluo Hui said, if the more than 3,000 Manmeng Eight Banner soldiers can't break up the more than 5,600 loyal soldiers on the Pingba and can't defeat them, then the morale of the loyal and righteous army will definitely be like a rainbow, and if that happens, the city of Hanzhong will not be able to hold it at all.

Heluohui pointed to the battlefield and analyzed that it was rumored that after the defeat of the Qing army in Sichuan, the loyal and righteous army was reorganized, and after the reorganization, the loyal and righteous army was often two regiments to form a town (division).

On the battlefield, the loyal army was obviously divided into two parts, probably a defensive position built with regiments as a unit, while the Wang Zhibang regiment in the north of the battlefield was smaller in number and weaker.

And what the other side relies on is nothing more than a rapidly formed military formation, but a sharp firearm?

Now that the attack is frustrated, it is better to concentrate forces to attack Wang Zhibang's regiment in the north first, and if the battlefield can be won, then besiege Guo Chonglie's regiment in the south.

Nikan was overjoyed, drew his sword, and personally commanded Manchuria to launch a siege on the 10th Regiment of Wang Zhibang in the north.
