readx; readx; Guo Chonglie and Wang Zhibang led the 3rd town (division) to walk in the forefront, and after starting from Calcium County, it was all the Great Plains, because they were worried about the attack of the opponent's cavalry, they placed the scouts ten miles away, twenty miles away, and it was just now that Yang Xuan sent his staff officers to inquire if he found anything abnormal, especially the Tartar cavalry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Now it is only more than 20 miles away from Hanzhong City, just when Guo Chonglie was about to complain that Yang Xuan was too careful, along the way he asked everyone to push the tricycle, the knife car first, and when camping, it was not only necessary to dig trenches, bury tree stumps, and arrange defensive positions based on the terrain, but also connect tricycles and bicycles together to build fortifications, and suddenly there was a sound of horns, and through the horns, everyone clearly judged that the enemy riders were found in front.

Guo Chonglie climbed a horse to a high ground and observed the enemy situation with the help of a telescope, only to see a puff of smoke and dust rising from a distance of thirteen or fourteen miles, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.

Guo Chonglie was shocked, and on the one hand he sent someone to report to Yang Xuan, on the other hand, he commanded all his troops to move closer to each small dirt slope, and instructed everyone to quickly form a military formation with tricycles.

Although Hanzhong is dominated by mountains, with mountains accounting for 75.2% of the total land area (including low mountains accounting for 18.2% and high mountains accounting for 57.0%), hills accounting for 14.6% and Pingba accounting for 10.2%, there are many Pingba and few hills near Nanzheng.

Because of the long-term planning, the Tartars came very quickly, and arrived in a few moments for more than ten miles, and after seeing that many positions had not yet been closed, some of the Tartars hid behind and released arrows, and more rushed over with sabers held high.

When he saw that the Tartars were killed, Guo Chonglie stood at the front, and repeatedly called the tiger squat cannons and Francophone cannons that could be concentrated in each battalion to return fire, concentrated the bird guns to return fire, and when the cavalry approached, he threw the earth-shattering thunders one after another, killing and injuring the opponent's horses.

But on the plains, the cavalry moved quickly, and some even hid under their horses and bent their bows to return fire.

If the hilly terrain under Shunqing City restricted the Tartars' movements that day, now the cavalry can give full play to their advantages in this flat dam.

Seeing that everyone was quite unaccustomed to the crazy fighting style of the cavalry, some of the brigade positions had been broken by the Tartar cavalry, and in order to escape, some soldiers desperately sprinkled their tripping horses on the ground to escape. dudu1;

Now the Loyal and Righteous Army has been equipped with a large number of tricycles and bicycles, and the transportation capacity has been greatly increased, and the various brigades have some stumbling nails.

Even so, the opponent came very fiercely, and some even used the advantage of war horses to fight into the battle, fighting with the soldiers of the loyal army who were quite panicked.

Seeing the menacing cavalry of the other side and the slaughter of his own infantry by the other party, Guo Chonglie felt a heartache.

Whenever he saw the Tartar cavalry capture a position, Guo Chonglie often sent soldiers to the rescue, but the Tartar cavalry came very fiercely, and the rescue was quite limited.

Just when Guo Chonglie felt caught off guard, a staff officer rode over from the Chinese army's big tent, Guo Chonglie wiped the beads of sweat from his face again and again, and asked: "Staff Officer Wang, my lord, what is your order?"

The Tartars were really unstoppable in the battle on the plains, and our town did not build any fortifications, and in less than a stick of incense, he broke through the positions of 3 or 4 brigades. ”

The staff officer handed over a letter and opened it, Guo Chonglie found that it was written: "The plains and hills have the same method against the cavalry, and the Tartar cavalry is most afraid of artillery bows and crossbows, and only the combination of long, medium and short can block the Tartars."

It can make the artillery musketeers in the middle, the Tartars attack one side, bombard with artillery from a distance, and use muskets and crossbows at medium distances to fight close to each other. ”

Guo Chonglie was overjoyed, waved the flag, and sent heralds to each division (battalion), asking everyone to adjust their forces to resist the Tartar cavalry. dudu2;

The first thing to change was the guard division (battalion) under the personal command of Guo Chonglie, which was the 10 Franc cannons in his possession.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry rushing from a distance, and just jumping over the ridge in front of him, Guo Chonglie personally commanded the 10 Furlong machine guns in his possession to open fire.

Facing the ridge of the field two hundred meters away, the scattered bullets were shot into the air and then fell like scattered flowers in the sky, covering an area of four or five square meters.

Although the Tartar cavalry moved quickly, the Franc cannon was a rear-loading gun, and the loading speed was not much faster than that of the bird's gun, and more than 10 Franc cannons were fired at the same time, quickly stabilizing the panicked military spirit in front like a Dinghai Shen needle.

After seeing the power of the Fran cannon, although the rear cavalry was quite brave, although some of them desperately tried to rush over to attack the Franc cannon position of the loyal army, but there was a ridge about two feet high in front of it, which virtually became a natural barrier, greatly slowing down the speed of the Tartar cavalry.

After leaping over the ridges, the Tartar cavalry swarmed in, and the musketeers had already completed their formation, and before they could shoot their arrows at the rushing cavalry, at the command of the squadron leader, everyone fired their guns and fired at the rushing riders.

But the Tartar cavalry ran very fast, and it was very difficult to shoot the running war horse, and many riders rushed to the front, but the loyal army had already used tricycles and bicycles to build a car formation, and when they saw the Tartar cavalry rushing to their side, under the leadership of the squad leader, everyone raised the bird guns in their hands and aimed and shot together, so many were shot and killed.

A small number of Tartar cavalry jumped over the chariot formation and rushed into the formation, but surprisingly the other party did not panic and fled at all, but under the leadership of the squad leader, the various killers rushed forward in the squadron, and the wolf whiskers raised the wolf whisks about two feet long to attract the attention of the riders on horseback, and the palladium and spearmen often took advantage of the weakness to attack.

In addition, the most difficult to prevent are those rattan players, who often use rattan cards as a cover to bully themselves in front of the horse, and suddenly fly machetes and slash at the horse's legs. dudu3;

Unlike other Ming armies, the Loyal and Righteous Army had a lean policy, and although it was far smaller in number than other troops, it was well equipped.

Not to mention anything else, the big knife in the hand of the rattan player is made according to the regulations of the past horse chopping knife, and if you hold both hands together and fight hard, you may cut off the horse's head.

Although it is difficult to play on the battlefield, in the face of the charging cavalry, everyone forms a military formation, and some even fight hard regardless of safety, and it is also common to cut off the horse's leg with a knife.

The Tartar cavalry came and went very quickly, and after resisting the opponent's attack, everyone became more and more confident, on the other hand, the Tartar cavalry was very few killed by the Fran machine gun artillery, and under the repeated fire of the superior musketeers, one by one actually became a live target.

Seeing that there were many musketeers of the Loyal Army, some Tartars were even more frightened, and many people hid in the distance to shoot arrows, although the long shot was close to more than 200 meters, but the crosshairs were limited, and the number of Tartar cavalry was very small, so it had no great effect at all.

Those who rode on horses and fired flat, the range was only seventy or eighty paces, and they were also worried about the Franco machine guns and tiger squat cannons in the distance, worried that the bird guns would shoot the war horses, and that the bird guns would shoot themselves at close range.

The cavalry came and went very quickly, and after a slight change of formation, they resisted the attack of the opponent's cavalry, and after giving huge damage to more than 200 cavalry, after seeing this cavalry retreat, everyone's morale was high.

A successful blow, Guo Chonglie was full of confidence, commanding the tiger squat artillery and musketeers of the Guard Division to face the distant Tatar cavalry that was besieging the various units of the Loyal and Righteous Army, Guo Chonglie commanded the Franc machine guns around him to support with flowering shells, the range of flowering bullets is the same as that of live ammunition, which can reach more than 600 meters, covering almost all positions on the front line of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

After receiving the support of the guard battalion, the other battalions also woke up from the initial confusion, and concentrated their artillery and muskets to fight back at the Tartar cavalry.
