Chapter 176: It's Time for Us to Go!

"My lord, another Tanma is back!" Zhang Er came over to report

"Bring it now!" Wang Rui commanded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"My lord! We've found the trail of this captivity! There are about 14,000 people, about the same number as us. However, this group of captives were all cavalry, and the sentry cavalry they encountered was also extremely fierce. Cao Village, which is still south of Daxing, is still in the south of Daxing, and when his subordinates are leaving, they are pulling out the camp to the north. ”

The captain of the horse exploration looked tired, and he didn't care about wiping the dust off his face, and reported to Wang Rui carefully.

"Good! Got it. Go down and rest first! After sending away the captain of the Tanma team, Wang Rui instructed Zhang Erdao: "Well done!" Tell the detective's brothers that it's good to find out the news that Manchu has returned, and don't fight hard with Manchu. I don't want too many casualties from the Sentinel team. ”

In fact, the sentinel horses of this era are the strongest soldiers in every army, skilled in bows and horses, strong in combat, and they are all selected clever and clever people.

Such a professional soldier, Wang Rui is reluctant to take it and fight with Manchu. If you want to kill all the captives, you can use muskets and artillery!

"More than 14,000 people?" Qin Liangyu muttered.

Qin Liangyu and the others had fought directly with Manchu in the battle array, and they all had a very clear understanding of the combat power of the Manchu armor soldiers. A captive army of more than 14,000 people could not be taken lightly.

But Qin Liangyu still believes that his white pole soldier still has the strength to fight. As for this young general's Laizhou army, Qin Liangyu really couldn't understand it.

Judging from yesterday's assembly speed, queues, and battles, this Laizhou army is undoubtedly a strong army that can be proud of the world.

However, recalling the experience of the white pole soldiers and the Qi family army fighting side by side, Qin Liangyu felt that his own shortcomings were also obvious, and he could not make up for them.

As an excellent commander, if Qin Liangyu did not make a reflection and summary after such a bloody battle, it would be absolutely impossible.

In terms of combat power, the white pole soldiers and the Qi family army can completely defeat the same number, or no more than double the strength of their own army.

However, these two armies were all infantry, except for the sentry and the officers who had horses, so the army was less flexible, could not pursue quickly after a victory, and was easily harassed by the enemy's cavalry.

What's even worse is that except for the arquebus used by the Qi family's army and the tiger squat cannon with an extremely slow rate of fire, the two armies no longer have weapons that can strike from a distance. When the battle was engaged, the cavalry lunge bows of the captives fired a volley, but it brought great casualties to the two armies.

Moreover, in order to maintain combat strength, both armies adopted dense formations, which provided convenience for the artillery strikes of the captives.

During the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, these two strong armies collapsed and failed only after being attacked by the full-fledged red-clothed cannons and being broken up in formation. Although more than ten years have passed since this battle, Qin Liangyu still has not found a way to change this weakness.

This Laizhou general is only twenty-one or twelve years old, and he can't do anything! Thinking of this, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Why did Qin Du sigh?" Wang Rui asked with a smile. In fact, after experiencing the battle of Gu'an, he already had absolute confidence in his army and the weapons he was equipped with, and he also had a way to crack the battle against the enemy cavalry in the field.

Therefore, he thought of finding an opportunity to discuss the details with Qin Liangyu side by side.

"There are a lot of captives in this group, and they are all elite iron horsemen. If our army adopts a dense formation, it is easy to be attacked by full artillery. If the formation is scattered, it is not conducive to gathering combat strength. Therefore, if we fight them in this wilderness, we will probably suffer casualties! ”

Qin Liangyu not only explained his concerns in a down-to-earth manner, but also unreservedly stated the post-war summary of these years.

Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi also listened carefully on the side, their hearts were full of turmoil, this is the secret of the soldiers, it is said that it is passed on to men and not women, and it was just said to them and their husband and wife before.

Qin Xiaojing was beside his legendary aunt, looked at Wang Rui with burning eyes, and said in his heart: Why is my aunt so good to this guy? Could it be ......

"The last general has thanked Governor Qin for his teachings!" After listening to Qin Liangyu's words, Wang Rui hurriedly gave Qin Liangyu a deep salute on the horse to show his gratitude.

Seeing this, Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin both showed a relieved smile on their faces: Oh, this is almost the same! Children, you have to be polite!

Yes, it's a child! At least in Qin Liangyu's eyes. At this time, Qin Liangyu was already fifty-five years old. may be because she has been practicing martial arts all year round, or because she is naturally beautiful, so Wang Rui thought she was only in her forties.

In fact, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi are more than ten years older than Wang Rui in this time and space, and only Qin Xiaojing and Wang Rui are about the same age.

Just when everyone was quite pleased with Wang Rui's performance, they heard Wang Rui say: "Don't worry about Governor Qin! Let's see the youngster break the enemy. ”

Then, Wang Rui said like this. provoked Qin Liangyu and several others to stare at him with puzzled faces, and they couldn't speak for a long time!

In fact, this Wang Rui's tactics, don't look at his bells and whistles. Well, it's all bells and whistles! Because he used many words that Qin Liangyu and others had never heard at all.

But in fact, that is, the set of Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu, first bombarded with muskets and artillery to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then used cavalry to attack.

In Wang Rui's mind, they can beat the Mongol Tartars far away from the desert with their better muskets and artillery and higher rate of fire, why can't they?

However, although Qin Liangyu and the others had seen the heads captured by the Laizhou Army, they had not seen the firearms of the Laizhou Army. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and who believes if you have not seen?

What's more, the power of the musket and artillery described by Wang Rui completely surpassed the cognition of Qin Liangyu and several others!

"Stop bragging! It's not like we've never seen it before. Can you hit so far, so fast? ”

Qin Xiaojing rolled her eyes arrogantly, pouted her beautiful little mouth, and said disdainfully.

"Qin Du! The white pole soldiers have spilled the blood of the country, and now it's time for our sons and daughters of Laizhou! I hope that the Qin Governor will be perfected, and let the last general lead the army to fight! ”

Wang Rui also ignored Qin Xiaojing's rumors, looked at Qin Liangyu solemnly, and bowed his hand very sincerely.

"Good! The old man personally led the white pole soldiers to press the formation for you, and watched you wait for the captives to make meritorious contributions! Qin Liangyu looked at Wang Ruiliang for a long time before he replied solemnly.

"Mother, think twice!" Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi persuaded in unison.

This husband and wife are both upright and loyal characters, although they have only been with Wang Rui for a few days, but the Laizhou Army is a supply of meat and vegetables, and they are also gifted weapons, clothes and armor, which really moved them, and they can't bear to use this young general as a gunman like this.

Isn't it just fighting and killing captives? Our white pole soldiers are not sloppy!

"Brother Ma, sister-in-law, don't persuade again! The younger brother saved it. Wang Rui glanced at the husband and wife gratefully and persuaded him.

Hey, who are these people! Qin Xiaojing also wanted to speak and stopped. Although she felt that this heroic and handsome young general was too flamboyant, she couldn't accept it.

However, she was kind, and she didn't want to see too many casualties in Wang Rui's Laizhou army. She glanced at Wang Rui with disgust, as if she was saying in her heart: You are handsome, are you good at fighting?

Not necessarily. Be careful of bragging, suffocating to death!
