Chapter 510: The Battle of Changshan
The fact that the civil officials did not know how to arrange their troops did not mean that they could not see good soldiers and bad soldiers, and the armies of the Black Tiger and Qinggeltai were the most important to Qiu Jiahe, and they were very angry to see that they insisted on marching along the seashore. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because the seaside is barren and windy, it is difficult for more than 40,000 Ming troops to even take root in tents when they are encamped, and they have to find a long way to get fresh water.
The Ming army does not decide the command of the troops according to the rank, Qiu Jiahe is only from the third grade, Ma Shilong, Black Tiger, Song Wei, etc. are all first- and second-grade generals, and Ma Shilong even has the title of Wu Jingluo.
However, the command is controlled by Qiu Jiahe, the governor of the third grade, and Zhang Chun, a civil official of the fourth grade.
In the end, because he gave face to Ma Shilong, who was a peacemaker, Qiu Jiahe reluctantly agreed to Ma Shilong's men, Qinggeltai and Black Tiger's team advancing along the coastline.
The Black Tiger was asked to keep in touch with each other, and the team led by himself, Zhang Chun, Song Wei and other generals was a horn.
More than 40,000 troops could not walk more than 30 miles a day, and the actions of the Ming reinforcements had long been learned by the Houjin Tanma, and the Red Gangsters had arranged a reinforcement team to wait for them.
On September 29, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Qiu Jiahe led an army of 35,000 to cross the Xiaoling River and approach the Dalinghe City.
In this era, the arrangement of the siege is not a trumpet to ambush the enemy as soon as the cannon sounds, and there is no such stupid enemy. Qiu Jiahe's main force out of the exploration horses are also constantly exploring, basically so that they will not encounter a sudden attack by a large number of enemy troops within five miles.
The encirclement plan conceived by the Later Jin army was the same as Huang Sheng's previous calculations of the enemy, they took advantage of the power of the cavalry to spread a large net and wait for the Ming army to appear in a position conducive to the encirclement, and the cavalry suddenly rushed out and dragged the Ming troops.
Then the Houjin army could have time to mobilize infantry and artillery to attack the trapped Ming army.
The Ming army, which was marching, was attacked by the Mongol light cavalry, and in a hurry they formed a battle with chariots, but who knew that the Houjin heavy cavalry would soon arrive.
Yongping prepared for Zhang Chun's chariot battalion to better curb Jiannu's cavalry assault, and the chaotic firearms in the chariot were fired one after another, such as a swarm of bees, divine fire flying crows, hundreds of tigers running together, and so on.
The battle between the two sides began, the Houjin and Mongol coalition forces suffered some small losses, and they rushed several times without success, and the Ming army's chariot array formed a circle, and the arquebusiers of Yongping Mansion under Zhang Chun continued to hide behind the chariot and shoot guns.
The three-eyed guns of the Ming cavalry also continued to fire, and the small Franc machine equipped on the chariot was also firing three or four cannons, and some of them also shot scattered bullets.
In this way, it lasted for less than an hour, and suddenly an unexpected situation happened, the infantry of Jiannu came up, and the general's artillery had completed the arrangement and roared, and then 10,000 Goryeo musketeers also took three shots to shoot at the Ming army, and then the Mongolian light cavalry and Jiannu heavy cavalry pressed the whole army.
This is the disadvantage of not being able to maneuver quickly, and when Jiannu's general cannon joined the battle group, the defeat of the Ming army was already doomed.
The dense military formation was close to a mile square, the target was too big to aim, and the general cannon of the Houjin army fired directly flat, and every iron ball would penetrate the Ming army column, causing more than 20 casualties.
Who can stand in line and be beaten and face death? The Ming army, which had been fighting with courage, collapsed in an instant, and ran to the sea in a swarm, and then they all remembered that there was still an army marching along the coastline.
The west cannon body of Dalinghe City rumbled and shouted killing, and Zu Dashou in the city turned a deaf ear, and he didn't think about bringing out a desperate blow to his command to respond to the rescue of the soldiers and horses, he was frightened by the fake rescue of the last red gangster, and he didn't dare to go out of the city again.
The army is advancing with horses and sentinels, and the men and horses of Black Tiger and Qinggeltai know that Qiu Jiahe was ambushed, and they dare not leave the beach to rescue, and Ma Shilong Mingzhe will certainly not go to protect his life.
More than 8,000 Ming troops were waiting close to the sea, and more than 1,000 infantry of Ma Shilong and 1,500 infantry of Black Tiger hurriedly formed a gun formation.
The spear array that shook brightly for more than a foot was magnificent, and it was completely cold weapon duels that had a good effect on cavalry.
It is a pity that the era has developed to the stage of semi-hot weapons, and the enemy only needs to attack with artillery fire from a distance, and it is difficult for any unit not to collapse if he stands stupidly and cannot hit the enemy alone.
The Black Tiger has been cooperated by the navy many times and has rich experience, and he has enough time to choose the best place to form a formation with the Ming army.
The Huang family and horses have been operating in Liaodong for seven or eight years, and they are well aware of the situation and hydrology of the coastline of Liaodong.
Huang Mingli has been cruising on the beach with naval warships, contacting the Black Tiger people from time to time, and after learning through the flag, the Jin army will be killed immediately, and 30 warships are ready to bombard, including several battleships and cruisers that have just been launched this year, and these 30 are already all the new warships left behind.
With the range advantage of the Huang family's artillery, and of course the absolute superiority in numbers, there is no possibility that the Ming army by the sea will be unilaterally shelled by Houjin, and the Tartars and Jiannu are covered by cavalry, and they don't know how long it will take to push the cannon to "hum and hum".
When the panicked Ming army broke out, the menacing Houjin army and Mongolian cavalry also killed.
The Huang navy was not polite at all, and more than 200 artillery pieces were fired at the maximum elevation angle, among which the large-caliber rifled naval guns could hit the flowering shells eight or nine miles away, and the smoothbore guns could also hit three or four miles away.
The increase in the firing range of the artillery is entirely due to the improvement of the technology of the Huang family's casting steel cannon, and the firing range is closely related to the air tightness and the quality of gunpowder.
The uniform standard rifling on the smooth inner wall fits the shell well, and the filling at the tail of the flowering bullet instantly expands so that the soft lead is close to the rifling, causing the shell to rotate at high speed out of the muzzle and fly in a controlled orbit until it hits the target.
The shells of smoothbore guns are still the round shells that are widely used in this era, because the shells will roll irregularly when they are unloaded, and it is the same thing to turn the round shells over any way.
The shells of rifled guns are similar to those of later generations, and the oval shells rotate and unload at high speed, flying far and accurately.
Since most of the battleship guns were large-caliber heavy guns, the range of the 24-pounder naval guns was much longer than that of the 6-pounder and 12-pounder field guns.
More than 200 flowering bombs came to a wide range of seeds and a thin harvest, such an indiscriminate indiscriminate bombing, the victory was in sight of the Houjin army came violently, frightened by the sudden fierce artillery bombardment, did not dare to charge to the sea.
Because they braved the artillery fire even if they broke through, there was no array, and the Ming army's spear array was all in chaos, and I don't know how many cavalry would die, and there were still thousands of Ming cavalry there who could launch a surprise attack at any time.
Huang Mingli ordered the Black Tiger not to be afraid of casualties and lead the cavalry to storm three or five miles and turn back, while the navy's artillery continued to roar to deter the Mongol and Houjin coalition forces.
The Black Tiger's men and horses were not ambiguous, and the order and prohibition could be completely done, and they immediately charged their horses to counterattack, and some of the Mongolian light cavalry that had rushed too fiercely were killed by the cavalry under the command of the Black Tiger.
