Chapter 72: Leading the charge

After the ambush began, Yang Lin, Long Zhijiao, Yang Cheng and others led their troops to kill from both sides, and personally led the first division all the way to the foot of the mountain, but they were still one step too late to watch Bu Ning kill out.

The 1st Division had two rounds of soldiers and horses, and unlike the other bureaus, they were all equipped with bird guns, and after pouring out of the valley, they did not attack the distant Dashun army, and the musket team assembled in three rows.

Yang Lin shouted loudly about the gunpowder loading action, because the loading action is very cumbersome, not to mention the combat period, even in the weekday training, many soldiers are also in the wrong order, and the loading action is not good, and the bird gun cannot shoot normally.

After many years of training, I found that mistakes could only be avoided by giving various action instructions in a loud voice to officers from European and American countries.

In order to ensure the effect, the squadron leader often gives various commands in a loud voice during training, while the squadron leader and squad leader load and arrow other soldiers.

Just like the assembly line operation in the previous life, the uniform and uniform loading may affect the effect of some excellent soldiers, but it can ensure the effect of the government.

After everyone finished loading and lighting the fire rope, everyone approached the Dashun army with neat steps with the sound of the horn.

The biggest threat to cavalry on the ancient battlefield is the psychological pressure on the infantry at the galloping of thousands of horses, and now seeing a group of infantry rushing towards them in three rows, the Dashun army seems quite panicked, and some involuntarily retreat backwards, and many bold ones stand far away and keep firing guns and arrows, in an attempt to stop the other party's advance.

The two sides are far apart, although the lead can shoot each other, and the soft worker can shoot a light arrow to return to the front of the queue, but the crosshair is very poor, and the end of the strong crossbow cannot wear the penny, and at such a long distance, it can't have any impact on the Pengzhou soldiers wearing cotton armor.

As the saying goes, when two armies meet, the brave wins, and the battle of the musket team is mainly a contest of courage, and Yang Lin's only thought now is to shout loudly by himself and lead the team to charge.

Through their own practical actions to infect the soldiers around them, everyone stepped on neat steps, showed the determination of ten thousand hearts, and overwhelmed the other party in momentum, so as to win the victory on the battlefield.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, seventy-five steps, each step threatens to increase one, and each step feels the test of the will of the musketeer to the commander and the musketeer.

In the face of the lead shot by the sparse Lala and the arrows that rained down, everyone was unmoved.

The morale of the Dashun army was originally extremely low when it was suddenly ambushed, and now it was even more panicked to see the Pengzhou soldiers lining up and approaching, Bu Ning shouted loudly for everyone to rush over to fight, but seeing that the opponent's queue was neat and morale was high, except for a few brave men who had the intention to fight, the other soldiers mostly shouted loudly, or shot arrows indiscriminately and released guns to alleviate the fear in their hearts.

Seeing that the other party's morale was low and the formation was quite chaotic, Yang Lin showed a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and led everyone to suddenly pull out their swords at the time of seventy steps, and ordered the wrenchers in the queue to shoot freely.

Qi Jiguang believes in "Records of Military Training" that the killing of birds and guns has a certain lethality to the human body at a distance of 100 steps, but the killing distance of infantry equipped with cotton armor is 50 steps.

The biggest problem of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty was that it relied heavily on bird gun shooting, and shot from a long distance, which not only could not cause damage to the opponent and waste a lot of ammunition, but also affected the accuracy of bird gun shooting (the ancient barrel quality was not high, and multiple shots could explode the chamber, coupled with the use of black powder, residue would be produced in the inner cavity of the barrel, and multiple shots would affect the loading effect.

During the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Sun Chuanfang's troops were not well trained, and in order to strengthen their courage, the soldiers were shot all night. )。

When the two armies met, the musketeers could not fight in close combat, and when faced with the desperate attack of the opposing side, everyone collapsed at the first touch.

Now that the two sides are far apart, the other side's personnel have been assembled, but the generals of the Dashun army vainly tried to rely on the reload gap after the musket was fired, and Yang Lin planned to let the powerful wrenchers shoot freely.

Different from ordinary bird guns, the barrel of the wrench gun is about 120 cm long, the whole gun is 150 cm long, and the caliber is very large (20mm, ordinary bird gun 13mm), the loading is very powerful, not only can kill distant targets, but also can deceive the opponent.

The tall wrenchers in the first row opened fire one after another, and the gunfire was sparse, but the whole queue also flickered, giving people the impression that the Pengzhou soldiers had opened fire and attacked.

The soldiers of the Dashun army really hit the plan, and after the gunshot, everyone flocked up, in a vain attempt to rush over and fight with the other party between changing guns.

Just rushed out of more than ten steps, a row of heart-pounding firelight ignited in front, and the bullet mist rose into the air, and the four or five soldiers who rushed in front seemed to have been hit hard, and the whole body shook violently, and then slowly fell.

Seeing the abnormality in front, coupled with the deafening sound of gunfire one after another, some experienced soldiers felt that something was wrong and stopped, but the soldiers behind couldn't stop their steps, and everyone desperately charged forward.

But before he could take two steps, the fire flashed again, and the gunfire rang out, and more soldiers fell in front of the position.

Unlike the first two rows of soldiers, the tall trench pullers had already retreated to the last row after the initial skirmish fire, and by the time the third row of guns had already been loaded and fired together.

The long-caliber coarse projectile with a long barrel was full of gunpowder, and the firing power was very great, and the soldiers of the Dashun army in the vicinity retreated repeatedly.

Fear spread like a plague through the ranks, most of them stopped in fear, and some of the timid ones just turned around and crowded together with the soldiers who rushed forward, and the whole procession looked very chaotic.

The Dashun army was in a mess, the personnel were crowded together, and the entire queue was extremely chaotic.

Standing in front of the queue and seeing that the Dashun army was already in chaos, Yang Lin did not order the whole line to attack at all, brandishing his sword and shouting grenadiers to attack.

Wu Dazhu and more than a dozen other people rushed out with a lit flame in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other, and threw the ignited earth-shattering thunder into the team at a distance of 20 steps away from the local rioter.

The earth-shattering thunder was surrounded by iron blocks, and it was filled with gunpowder, and the ignited earth-shaking thunder fell into the crowd and exploded, and shrapnel flew sideways within a radius of four or five meters, and the Dashun army collapsed in a chaotic formation and fled in all directions.

Yang Lin brandished his sword and ordered the detachment to attack, personally led the 1st Infantry Bureau to press forward, and when he was thirty paces apart, he struck again in three stages against the sparse crowd in front of him.

The two sides were very close to each other, and after repeated shooting, there were many casualties, and the survivors fled with rolling and crawling, Yang Lin ordered to screw on the casing spur, and then led everyone to kill them.

At this time, Yang Cheng led the 5th game to outflank from the left side and killed.

The number of the Dashun army was far less than that of the Pengzhou soldiers, and the morale was low due to the successive blows from the volleys of the guns, and now they saw that the Pengzhou soldiers did not dare to resist at all, and now they fled in all directions.

Bu Ning wanted to escape on horseback, but the war horse was quite tired after fighting for a long time, and the Pengzhou soldiers gathered more and more, and finally they were surrounded by everyone and had to dismount and surrender.

After finally figuring out his experience through the captured soldier Ding, looking at the generals of the Dashun Army, Yang Lin said: "You are a Ming general? Why did you surrender to the Dashun army instead? ”

didn't give up his hand, Bu Ning said angrily: "The world has become more and more chaotic in the past few decades in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else, just say that we can't pay the salaries of the soldiers, and the brothers are already resentful."

Last year, he followed Sun Dashuai Tongguan and was defeated and captured, more than 100 helpless, plus the world said that the eighteen sons were the main artifact, everyone thought that the number of Da Ming Qi was exhausted, so he returned to Dashun and worked hard for Li Zicheng. ”

Yang Lin smiled and asked, "I don't know if Da Ming has exhausted his qi, but this destiny will definitely not return to Dashun, and this Li Zicheng has no life to be the emperor."

As far as I know, Li Zicheng has now been defeated in Shanhaiguan and is now fleeing back to Shaanxi. ”

Bu Ning was shocked and asked eagerly, "How do you know this?" Although I have heard this in private, no one dares to say it, how do you know? ”

Chen Huaixi, the chief historian next to him, said: "Li Zicheng has been a thief for more than ten years, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, although he has stopped killing since last year, but the sin has been caused, even if this kind of person is called the emperor, it will not last long." ”

Bu Ning's whole person looked puzzled, and suddenly patted his head and said: "You Yang Lin can pinch and calculate, don't say anything else, just say that this ambush is really incredible, even that Zhuge Kongming is nothing more than that."

Since you said that Li Zicheng couldn't be the emperor and fled back to Shaanxi after defeat, it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

Hearing the other party say this, although he felt the heat on his face, Yang Lin smiled awkwardly, suddenly walked down from the seat, untied the rope on the other party's body, and said: "Isn't it beyond us ordinary people to know that the destiny of heaven is like this.

I see that thou art a faithful man, and thou hast been in war for a long time, or thou shalt submit to me.

I can't guarantee anything else, as long as I have one day, I will ensure the peace of the people and let everyone live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Hearing that Li Zicheng's army was defeated at Shanhaiguan, Bu Ning originally regarded the other party as a superior and had the heart to take refuge, but now when he heard this, Bu Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and surrendered.

Yang Lin was overjoyed, helped him up, and said to everyone: "Everyone, I don't like to win today to keep Pengzhou safe, but I like to collect General Bu under the tent." ”

Some disagreed, but Yang Lin knew the value, whether it was the Great Western Army or the Manchu Eight Banners in the future, Yang Lin was most unsure of its iron cavalry.

In this Bu Ning's old calendar army, especially under Cao Wenzhao, Sun Chuanting and other famous generals who led troops on errands, after all, they were born in serious cavalry, and they could use this to establish their own cavalry.

Yang Lin appointed Bu Ning as the general of the cavalry department, and Yao Chonglie as the deputy general commander, commanding the cavalry.
