390 Loyalty and Steel
Woo~~~
The desolate horn sounded through the outer defense line of the capital of Changyang County, and the Ming Jumu Battalion and the Baoqing Battalion, two soldiers of the Ming State's regular field army, set up a defensive formation behind the dug trenches, earthen walls, and rejecting trees step by step.
The Jumu Battalion was captured by the enemy's elite troops during the Ming War, and the Baoqing Battalion was the elite troops supported by the Chu State when Qin Feng had not annexed the Yue State at the beginning, and it was the bargaining chip for the Chu State to help Qin Feng disrupt the political situation of the Yue State at that time......
Today's main field battalions of the Ming Kingdom have long been expanded again and again because of the prolonged war of attacking the Qi State, and the scale of a battalion of 5,000 people has now approached the scale of 10,000 people.
Together, the Jumu Battalion and the Baoqing Battalion are nearly two thousand iron bones, and they have established a meritorious elite in the expansion of the Ming Kingdom!
This is exactly what Changyang County Shouma relied on to block the Han army's offensive footsteps to the south, but after tens of thousands of county soldiers and militia Xiangyong were defeated and even annihilated by the Han army with one enemy and ten by one, Ma Xiangnan no longer had the belief that he would win before......
Jumu Battalion and Baoqing Battalion up to the command of the generals, down to the small soldiers, but also ready to fight bloody battles and even the consciousness of death, the Ming Kingdom is very generous to the field battalion soldiers, and there is a place similar to the cemetery of later martyrs, which will be engraved with the names of the soldiers who died for the country, not to mention, as long as these field battalion soldiers have families, almost all of them have been allocated enough fields for food and clothing by the Ming State, they no longer have any worries, and the only thing left is to be loyal and patriotic!
Qin Feng relied on nearly 200,000 field troops to fight the Qi country, which had millions of soldiers, and retreated step by step, and it was miserable!
Lin Haoda, who was in the rear, put down the binoculars and asked indifferently to Qin Xue'er, who was responsible for summarizing intelligence beside him, "Are those people the Jumu Camp and the Baoqing Camp of the Ming Kingdom?" ”
"Master, the confrontation with us is the Baoqing battalion, the Jumu battalion is stationed in Changyang County, in addition to the Baoqing battalion in front of us, there are many horses to the south to pull up the village warriors and the remnants of the county soldiers, but after we unconditionally released more than 6,000 prisoners of war, those county soldiers have already preached the political strategy of our Han Dynasty and the 'tolerant' policy against the enemy.
As long as the news in Changyang County is not too closed, we all know that our Han army never indiscriminately kills surrendered troops who have laid down their arms, and the captured prisoners will be released, as long as the resistance is not fierce, our Han soldiers will not even chase back. ”
Lin Haoda nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, in the Ming army of Changyang County, except for the Jumu Battalion and the Baoqing Battalion, which were fed by Qin Feng with silver and land, the morale of the other troops is very low. ”
Qin Xue'er replied with an unnatural face: "The effect is not as good as we imagined, Ma Xiangnan is like the master of the blue sky in Changyang County, the reinvention of the parents of the people, after Ma Xiangnan knew our intention to release the prisoners of war, he opened his old face and wrote four words with his own blood in front of the people of Changyang County in front of the people of Changyang County, and the people of Changyang County were all shocked. The low morale of the county soldiers and the townspeople has also rebounded! ”
The smile on the corner of Lin Haoda's mouth disappeared suddenly, and he asked coldly, "Which four words?" ”
"Serve the country with loyalty!"
After hearing this, Lin Haoda was silent for a long time, and spit out a sentence: "If you can, leave a whole corpse for Ma Xiangnan, there are not many such people in the world." ”
"Attack!" With the order of the Han army front commander, the grenadier soldiers, under the protection of the riflemen, drove to the front of the Ming army's defense line, and set up the grenadier safely......
In the hearts of the soldiers of the Baoqing battalion, a dark cloud could not help but emerge, the other party could beat themselves, but they could not beat the enemy, could such a battle really be won?
"Put!"
As soon as the grenadier soldiers let go of their hands, they turned around and covered their ears, and with a muffled sound, one grenade after another far exceeded the technological level of the world in this plane and landed on the front line of the Baoqing battalion!
The range and accuracy of the Han army's grenadiers once again refreshed the Ming army's cognition, and the Han army faced tens of thousands of county soldiers before the attack, the grenadiers did not fire, and they were kept for use in this offensive and defensive battle.
Lin Haoda cherished the loss of his own troops, and used a grenadier to send the position that the Baoqing Battalion had worked so hard to build, together with the dense soldiers of the Baoqing Battalion on the position, into the sky.
Although the Ming State had learned about the power of the Han army's weapons, their combat habits had not changed much, and they still adhered to the dense formation, which was actually an unavoidable defect of the Ming army.
The soldiers of the Ming army were all wearing armor and holding cold weapons, if they were not lined up in a dense formation, would it be difficult to fight like a fire in the rivers and lakes?
In that case, the discipline and tactics that the Ming soldiers had worked so hard to train would be gone, and in an era when communications were basically based on roaring, the absence of a formation meant giving up the overall command.
The reason why the Han army was able to attack with a straggler line and cover each other in an orderly manner was because the all-out war system equipped Lin Haoda's troops with communication equipment, and Lin Haoda, Xu Fu and other operational staff officers, sitting in the command headquarters, could effectively command the front-line troops!
The two sides are not just a generational difference in weapons, but a generational difference in every sense.
The result was obvious, the Baoqing battalion, which had been hit with heavy casualties by the grenadiers, had no formation, and under the accurate fire of the riflemen who rushed up later, it collapsed without even being able to charge!
However, at the time of the avalanche of the defense line of the Baoqing camp, thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the periphery of the battlefield, which was a cavalry team that Ma had collected from the entire Changyang County to the south and transferred almost all the cavalry scouts.
He knew that in front of machine guns and artillery, no matter how elite the army with broadswords and spears was, it would only end up being slaughtered, and only the cavalry could use their speed to strive to break through the ranks of the Han army, as long as the Han army was pulled into hand-to-hand combat, the armored Ming cavalry could cause a lot of casualties to the Han army!
It's just that Ma Xiangnan ignored one point, the cavalry is powerful in hand-to-hand combat in armor, but the weight of the armor also makes the mobility of the cavalry decrease a lot, this speed drop is nothing in the cold weapon war, anyway, the infantry on the cold weapon battlefield also wears armor.
However, the soldiers of the Han army were all unarmoured, so they undoubtedly had an advantage in running speed, and they did not need to outrun the cavalry, they only needed to place the Maxine heavy machine gun on the side or even in front of the cavalry charge.
As a result, the more than 1,000 cavalry units only consumed the Han army's Maxin heavy machine gun shells......
