Sheet 238 Combo Advantage
Sitting on the war horse, after looking at some soldiers around him with frightened expressions, the whole atmosphere was particularly tense, and Haoge said with disdain: "I heard that this Yang Lin is a person who has fallen off the list, how can he lead the soldiers spinelessly, crying and shouting slogans, it's really strange."
When the surrounding generals heard this, everyone looked at each other and smiled to remove the shadow in their hearts.
In order to deter the other side on the battlefield, many generals often create a momentum of preemptive momentum, pull out all the soldiers and horses, and even plant pennants behind each person, giving people the feeling that the pennants are everywhere, and there are countless people and horses all over the mountains.
Unlike other armies of this era, the Volunteers are shrouded in a veil of mystery and a hint of weirdness from top to bottom. Pay attention to showing one part of the enemy in formation, hiding one part, and not allowing the other party to peek into the strength of the army.
In front of the hillsides and hills, flags faintly appeared, except for a few soldiers and horses, and most of the troops were hidden in the fortifications or buried in the old forest.
The Green Battalion soldiers and horses are often not very adaptable to the formation of the volunteers, and they have suffered a lot in the past few days, sometimes falling into the ambush of the opponent's heavy troops, and sometimes the flanks are suddenly attacked, and the soldiers are lost, and everyone complains.
Now the volunteers are arrayed outside the city wall, putting on a field posture, although Hauge and the others are confused, they have to send the green battalion soldiers and horses to attack to test their strength.
Since Lao Nu raised the army, the Tartar field battle has not been defeated by the Ming army, and now Yang Lin is in a field combat posture, although Hao Ge does not understand the depth, but for the honor of the Qing army, he also had to order the whole line to attack.
In order to give themselves courage, everyone pulled a piece of artillery to the front of the formation, and fired the artillery at the position of the volunteers in front of the front.
In this era, the red-coated cannon weighed more than 1,000 catties, coupled with the difficulty of Shu Road and the difficulty of transportation in the blue sky, among the green camps, most of the Han Army's Eight Banners Army were large Franc machine guns, with a relatively close firing range, and in order to ensure the shooting effect, they often went out of the camp to fire.
More than a dozen artillery pieces were lit one after another, and solid balls were shot into the sky and then fell, and some hit the hill and splashed bursts of mud, and then provoked and injured the surrounding targets.
Some of them fall into the soft soil, although there is a splash of muddy water, but the soil is soft, and the solid balls that fall fall into the dirt, except for hitting the target directly, there is not much damage. (Someone commented on the Battle of Waterloo, mainly because the British positions were full of silt)
The volunteers paid attention to showing the enemy in formation and concealing the enemy, and there were not many troops at the front of the position, and the opponent fired artillery from a distance, not only could not hit far and could not hit accurately, but also the lethality of the solid bullets fired was quite limited.
In the sound of artillery, the soldiers and horses of the green battalion had already completed their formation, and they shouted several times to give themselves courage, and then pushed the side van to escape, or held their shields high, and the tide came like a tide.
Looking at the smoking artillery camp of the Green Battalion, Jing Keqin, the staff general of the 6th Regiment, looked quite excited, and said to Wang Zhibang, the guerrilla general of the 10th Regiment, and Qi Lianfang, the head of the militia group, on his side: "Adults often say that on the battlefield, you need to be right and victorious, and you can't see it, and you can't show it.
The Tartar is too arrogant, so if you fire a gun from such a distance, you can't hit it at all. ”
Qi Lianfang was originally the general of the Great Western Army, and after Zhang Xianzhong was killed, he returned to the Volunteer Army, looked at the falling artillery and said: "General, compared to other Ming troops, the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion are still elite. ”
Wang Zhibang has been returning to the Volunteer Army for a year, and he has also studied tactical methods, listening to Qi Lianfang say this, he laughed and pointed to a slope in front of the right, and on the slope behind the front line is a three-jin artillery base of the Left Wing Volunteer Army.
The artillery was previously hidden in the surrounding jungle, and when the Green Battalion was shelling in formation, everyone pushed the artillery to the front, and now it was lined up, adjusting the firing angle according to the various instructions of General Yang Fuquan.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the introduction of the Francophone cannon and the red-coated cannon into China, the shooting angle was often adjusted according to the target distance on the battlefield, so as to achieve accurate shooting.
When the artillery of the green battalion lined up on the battlefield and was exposed, Yang Fuquan, the commander of the artillery guard, ordered to adjust the firing angle according to the distance of the target, and now fired at the target at 500 meters.
Different from the Green Battalion, the Volunteers artillery is mostly pressed on the gun mount, and the elevation angle is adjusted by adjusting the position of the gun body, which can often be quickly and accurately adjusted and fired quickly and accurately on the battlefield.
At the sound of an order, more than 10 artillery pieces were fired one after another, aiming at the target position 500 meters away, and because the target was far away, the hit rate was less than 40 percent, but after a round of shelling, several people were killed and wounded, and the opponent's artillery position was in chaos.
The artillery positions of the green battalion were in chaos, and the commanding generals were extremely annoyed and couldn't care about firing artillery to support the soldiers and horses of the green battalion on the front line.
However, there were no artillery mounts in this era, and the artillery was heavy and difficult to adjust, until the opponent fired four or five rounds in a row, only two or three artillery pieces were adjusted, and at this time the position was in a mess, and the role on the battlefield was limited.
Seeing that the opponent's artillery position was completely suppressed, the morale of the volunteers was greatly boosted, and everyone cheered loudly, some held aloft wolf stalks, spears, and spears, and some beat the rattan cards with their sabers, making a burst of shouts.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of the green battalion had approached more than 150 steps, and when they saw the cheers of the other party on the front position, in order to suppress the other party, some people shouted loudly, and some hid in the side car and fired arrows and artillery.
At this time, Wang Zhibang, the guerrilla general of the 10th Regiment, had already come to the forward position to control the troops, and saw that the other side was firing guns and arrows and artillery from a distance, although the momentum was very large, but it did not have much effect.
Seeing that the other party rushed over like a tide, Wang Zhibang pondered for a moment, waved his hand to the reed on the left, and then commanded the post to return fire.
Several large and small Furlong cannons were pushed out and fired at the targets behind the evasive vans, and Wang Zhibang also led the three infantry battalions of his headquarters to complete the formation in preparation for a counterattack.
The soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion, who led the charge, did not expect that the artillery of the Volunteers was self-contained, with each regiment having a large Franc cannon and each battalion having a Franc cannon No. 3 to disrupt the opponent's offensive.
During the engagement, the squadron leader and squadron leader can kill and injure the opponent by directing their tiger squat cannons, grenadiers, or through muskets and crossbows.
Now firing at targets behind the cars and behind the vans 150 paces away, three or five pieces of artillery fell into the formation, killing and injuring a large number of people.
Some generals led the next group of green battalion soldiers and horses to rush out, the soldiers in front held high shields to cover, and the soldiers and horses behind kept firing guns and cannons, there was no crosshair, crackling and crackling.
Wang Zhibang's face was full of contemptuous smiles, he had done this in the past in Onishi, but after a year of practice, he gradually understood the drawbacks, like now, everyone shoots freely from a long distance, although the momentum is very loud, it looks very lively, but the shooting is not accurate.
Let the other side be rampant, and when the other side approached more than 100 paces, the two infantry battalions on the front line suddenly moved, and the soldiers in the front row under the leadership of the captain suddenly started to rush forward a few steps, and then raised their guns to fire a volley.
Due to the close distance, and the volunteers suddenly forced forward to attack, coupled with the musket salvo fire, the green battalion soldiers and horses were unexpected, under a round of shooting, some were shot into a mess, some people felt that the opponent's fire was fierce, the surrounding casualties were very heavy and ready to retreat, and some of the disciplined combat power was strong and tried to use the opponent's firepower gap to rush up and fight hand-to-hand.
Just after rushing out a few steps, looking at the tiger squat cannon in front of the camp that I don't know when, some people were dumbfounded, while others held their heads to dodge.
Due to the launch of scattered bombs, although the Tiger Squat Cannon had a large killing area, the firing distance was very close, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion in front of them dodged one after another, while those in other directions rushed forward regardless of casualties.
But this is not over, just rushed out of four or five steps, when the two sides were more than fifty steps apart, suddenly saw several soldiers rushing out of the opponent's formation, everyone held a burning flame in one hand, and took out the earth-shaking thunder from the waist with the other, and after rushing out of the formation for more than ten steps, ignited the earth-shaking thunder in his hand and kept throwing it into the opponent's formation.
The earth-shaking thunder weighs about 2 catties, although there is no wooden handle to be easy to throw, but like these soldiers who are one out of ten can easily throw more than 30 steps, one by one the earth-shaking thunder falls into the opponent's formation and explodes, shrapnel flies sideways, often killing and injuring targets around several meters, and the explosion is very powerful.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song army used the earth-shaking thunder when protecting the city of Kaifeng, and it became a standard configuration after the formation of the volunteers.
As the prototype of the modern grenade, the Earthquake Thunder Blossom Bomb uses the opportunity of the second explosion to kill and injure the opponent, but the modern grenade uses high gunpowder, while the Earthquake Thunder uses black gunpowder, and the explosion power is very amazing.
Because each squadron had an additional grenadier group, the battlefield suddenly attacked, one after another earth-shattering thunder pierced the sky and fell into the opponent's formation, the explosion sound was like the sound of firecrackers, the entire forward position was shrouded in a fog, suddenly suffered such a blow, the green battalion suffered heavy damage, and many survivors panicked and desperately fled to the back, using this as a cover to save their lives.
Shelled by tiger squatting artillery one after another, the earth-shattering thunder exploded, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion were in chaos, some people began to retreat, and others rushed forward desperately without knowing the reason.
Faced with the chaotic target, the Volunteers looked very calm, and the musketeers once again raised their bird guns to aim.
In the past, the musket firing process included one washing gun, two medicines, three medicines, four leads, five leads, six papers, seven papers, eight open doors, nine medicines, ten press the arquebus, eleven open the fire door, 13 o'clock aiming, thirteen guns, and often release guns once a minute.
After more than a year of practice, although some people have also proposed the concept of paper bullets, although Yang Lin has not yet fully adopted paper bullets.
However, the firing process of the Volunteers' muskets has been significantly improved (the lead is loaded with paper at the same time), and the arquebuses have basically become:
One wash, two medicine, three lead paper, four tamping, five open doors, six medicine, seven fire ropes, eight fire doors, nine three points aiming, ten guns, the firing speed is increased by at least 50%.
The firing process of the flintlock pistol is mainly as follows:
One wash, two medicine, three lead paper, four tamping, five door opening, six medicine, seven or three point aiming, eight release, the firing speed is at least doubled.
Now the flintlock squadrons have reloaded, aiming at the chaotic targets at close range, killing and injuring a lot.
The ancient battlefield paid attention to the accumulation of human lives, although there were many casualties in the front, but under the coercion of the warlords, everyone did not dare to retreat at all, and some people took advantage of the slow firing speed of muskets, relying on the armor protection on their bodies to charge forward desperately.
However, due to the fact that the Volunteers were already equipped with tiger squat guns and grenadiers, and because various departments had improved the loading process of lead bullets, the two sides wanted to receive at least four salvos between the two sides, killing and injuring many people.
The soldiers and horses are mostly adapted from the elite of the Ming army, Rao is very strong in the past, and there are many casualties in each unit under the continuous shooting, although a few rushed over during the period, but were soon attacked by the superior volunteers.
A team of killers rushed out of the formation to meet the rushing green battalion soldiers and horses, everyone often in groups of three or five, two captains each led a rattan player, a wolf player to attack on the side, or two wings to outflank, and the squad leader led the other soldiers and horses to fight head-on.
Under the cover of the musketeers in the rear, the two sides fought together, although the green battalion was numerous, but the rear was attacked by the volunteers' large Fran cannon and No. 3 Fran machine, and the troops were often unable to concentrate.
Bai Yongfu rode on a tall horse, his face was pale, if he was defeated by the volunteers a few days ago, mainly because the other party relied on the geographical advantage of the cottage is still understandable, and now the other party is only three battalions and less than 2,000 people, and he has fallen into the disadvantage, so he can't be forgiven.
Tartar Belenica led more than 1,000 cavalry to monitor the rear, in order to keep his status as a minion, Bai Yongfu was once ready to raise a knife to fight, seeing the commander like this, the green battalion soldiers in front of him were also ruthless, and everyone rushed forward to fight.
But the Volunteers continued to fight bravely and gave full play to their combined advantages.
The artillery of the regimental headquarters and battalion headquarters was constantly fired to disrupt the enemy's offensive and block the enemy.
Everyone cooperated with each other, and the various combat groups, squads, squadrons, and brigades cooperated closely on the battlefield, and constantly counterattacked under the cover of tiger squatting artillery, grenadiers, and musketeers.
