Six hundred and fifty-four is now!
Wang Hui put away a little nostalgic thought, and resolutely carried out the order of this Xiao Dashuai, who would always follow, and took his order as the highest criterion.
Even if the emperor gave an order, he would ignore it, as long as it was contrary to Xiao Dashuai's order.
The Beiyu cavalry entered the ambush circle of the Ming army with a bit of grandeur, lined up in several columns, and acted in an orderly manner, looking at the slopes on both sides from time to time, with a wary look in their eyes.
I have to say that these Beiyu and Daming have fought for hundreds of years, and they are not completely without gains.
They have already fought from the fierce rush of the primitive era to their own set of regulations, and during the Mengyuan period, the nomads developed cavalry tactics to the extreme, and with the gunpowder of the Han people, they swept half the world.
After the Ming expelled the northern captives, they plummeted, losing gunpowder and technology, but they also had cavalry tactics, which made the Ming army very headache, and it is no wonder that the current Ming army is rarely willing to fight large-scale field battles with the northern captives, which is really a large casualty, and the training and equipment of the Ming army itself is extremely poor.
In this case, rushing to fight is equivalent to sending them to death, many times the equipment worn by the Ming army is not even as good as the leather armor of the Beiyu, and the quality of the sword may not be better than that of the Beiyu, and their confidence is insufficient, how can they dare to fight?
The more the Ming Dynasty came later, the more they relied on the private soldiers of the border generals to fight, and the guards who belonged to the imperial court had long been rotten and could not be seen, and now at least 40% of the people who are fighting with Xiao Ruxun are the private soldiers of the generals of various towns.
It is true that the combat effectiveness of these people is very impressive, but they are not the soldiers of the imperial court, and they listen to their own generals more than they listen to the imperial court, and the group of guards who belong to the imperial court sequence do not love their grandmothers and grandmothers, not to mention how miserable they are.
That is, Xiao Ruxun gave them food and clothing, and now many of them have found the soldiers of the Zhennan Army to ask if they can ask Governor Xiao to be kind enough to accept them into the Zhennan Army as Governor Xiao's private soldiers, and life is really unbearable.
Many people said that if they want to beg for a report of their death in battle, fake their death and leave the guard, and then enter the Zhennan Army to serve as a private soldier for Governor Xiao, it is better than starving and freezing in the guard to make cattle and horses for others, isn't it?
Every time I read this, Xiao Ruxun will sigh at the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that if it were not for a Zhang Juzheng who ruled with an iron fist for ten years and gave the Ming Dynasty another fifty years, Xiao Ruxun should now also be an independent warlord, and it is estimated that the next day will return to the era of war and chaos in the Three Kingdoms.
Look at these northern captives, where is there so much?
I have to say that their strength and advantages are sometimes worth learning from, it is not unreasonable for others to be strong, and it is not for nothing that they are passively beaten, so what can they do if they blindly hold the old dream of the Heavenly Empire? Is Datang the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of Kaiyuan obtained by lying down and dreaming?
Xiao Ruxun slowly drew his sword.
The strength of the Qin and Han dynasties, the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the Ming Hongwu Yongle era were not dreamed of, they were killed with a sword and blood.
How can a strong country be a strong country if the military is not strong?!
Nirvana reborn!
Now is the time!
Xiao Ruxun straightened up and pointed his sword to the sky: "Drumming!" Fire!! ”
The rumbling war drums sounded loudly, and the heavy melody played the war song of the Han nation that has never faded from ancient times.
Accompanied by the ancient war song, the artillery began to roar.
The roar of a hundred furlan guns was terrifying, and countless cannonballs rained down from the sky and plunged into the unsuspecting Northern Army.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Countless shells hit the ground and exploded, rubble and lead flew around, and at that moment, countless blood flowers bloomed on the human body and the horse's body, and countless lives were taken in an instant, and the shouts of people, the neighing of horses, and the roar of artillery were intertwined, playing an extremely gorgeous and cruel battlefield concerto.
But that's just the beginning.
The rolling wood and stones, which had been prepared for a long time, rolled down from the top of the mountain, rolling faster and faster, and this ancient and effective method brought no less damage and panic to the northern captives than artillery.
When the rolling wood stone was smashed down, the lucky Beiyu soldiers were just brushed by, but the unlucky ones were smashed into a puddle of meat sauce by a large stone in the middle of the door, and the death was extremely miserable, and even scared the people around them, and this situation was not an exception, and it continued to appear in the Beiyu army that stretched for several miles.
This is also a beginning, the Ming army crossbowmen also began to release arrows, they aimed their arrows in the air, under the orders of the generals, full of bowstrings and shot out, these arrows will naturally land, will land with greater force, and fiercely nail some unlucky northern captives to the ground, and can take their lives on the spot.
Bow and arrow as the earliest Han army can effectively hit the nomadic cavalry long-range strike weapon, has been passed down, to this day, in Xiao Ruxun's army, because of the continuous improvement and popularity of firearms, the role of the bow and crossbow is not very prominent, but when it rains, when the gunpowder runs out, the bow and crossbow is still a very reliable long-range killing weapon.
Now it's the same, musketeers need to hide their edges for a while, and in order to inflict more damage on the enemy, crossbowmen need to appear.
The Ming army's long-range strike raid appeared suddenly, taking the northern army by surprise and suffering heavy casualties.
Beiyu never expected that there would be an ambush of the Ming army here, although there was a vigilance, but there was no preparation, Xiao Ruxun's previous victories and defeats led Helitu's judgment astray, so in Helitu's thinking, there was never this link of ambush here.
In Helitu's view, the Ming army will concentrate all its forces in Datong to fight a positional offensive and defensive battle with him, which is the only choice for the Ming army at present, but the Ming army is ambushing here? And fight so fiercely?!
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom ————
The artillery of the Ming army continued to roar, the furlong machine was roaring, and the Hongyi cannon also began to roar, although Xiao Ruxun now only has five Hongyi cannons in his hands that can be used, but as long as they are used skillfully, the five cannons can play a great role, and the solid bullets and flowering bullets smashed on the heads of the Beiyu, bringing them a catastrophe.
"Great Chief! We were attacked! We were attacked! There is an ambush for the Han people! ”
"Great Chief! Now what? There is an ambush for the Han people! We've been tricked! ”
"The hateful Han people actually have an ambush!"
"Ah!!!h
While a group of large and small tribal leaders gathered around Helitu exchanged opinions in a panic, a flowering bomb exploded not far from them, and a fragment hit one of them in the right arm impartially, and immediately one of his arms flew out, and the blood sprayed wildly from the broken arm, spurting the surrounding group of people with blood.
