After this battle, the Qing army won a complete victory, Wu Sangui was not caught, but its main force was annihilated, and this counterinsurgency war was basically settled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after this battle, while the new army was almost crushing, the Eight Banner Army on the right flank, which used the old tactics, suffered heavy losses, and even the fifth town with the new army suffered a lot of losses.

The Eight Banners on the right flank were all from Manchuria, and the Fifth Town of the New Army was the same as the other towns, with Manchurian ironclad spearmen paired with Han Lu Mi marksmen. The rout of the right flank, the casualties during the battle, the casualties inflicted by the Guanning army during the rout, and the burst of fire when the new army forced the rout to turn, at first glance it seems that the Manchurian, Mongol, and Han armies suffered a lot of losses, but it was the Manchurian Eight Banners that suffered the most damage.

Moreover, the gap between their respective population bases is very far, Mongolia does not mention, they can be recruited from Monan and Mobei, and the Han military banner does not say how many Han people there are, but the Baoyi slaves brought more than 200,000 from Liaodong that year, and with that little bit of Manchuria, this great victory can already be called a fiasco.

Watching the auxiliary soldiers remove the corpse of the right-wing Eight Banner Army, Liu Cheng got off the horse and took the trouble to help these Eight Banner Army close their eyes, and the loyal and brave soldiers who kept talking about it, heard the surrounding new army and ordinary Eight Banner Army and even the auxiliary soldiers all sighed that this Liu Huiban loved soldiers like a son, and he was really a general.

"To break the Spanish phalanx, if you want to say that Chen Wen's method is the most concise and rude. Well, ricochet shooting, I only heard about the principle in the training camp, and it is normal that the artillery of the new army was not taught. As for the grenadiers, it was the Jesuit monk who said that Tessie did not have such a strange class, and Sonny also thought that Manchuria was not good at firearms and too dangerous, and the Han army was not brave enough to be organized, so blame Sonny for that slippery head. ”

laughed wildly in his heart, but his face was full of compassion, Liu Cheng has spent too many days kneeling and licking the Manchu elites in recent years, and his acting skills are also improving day by day.

The defeat of the Spanish phalanx, whether on the side of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and in Europe, was based on the core idea of strengthening firepower output. Chen Wen's method is more ingenious, ricochet shooting to cause a large number of casualties, after entering hand-to-hand combat, when the phalanx is close to the zero point of collapse, and then use grenadiers to finalize the battle situation, if it were not for Hong Chengchou noticed that the phalanx in the front row was seriously injured and temporarily adjusted the formation, the casualties of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies would have been greatly reduced.

The new army originally had Chen Wen as a teacher in this regard, but Liu Cheng did not take out all his skills. As a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on the new tactics of the new army to defeat the Spanish phalanx of the Guanning Army with two swords, but this unintentional insertion of willows not only doubled the losses of the Qing army, but also ruthlessly overshadowed the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

"Is it because of the slaughter of the city, lest it will be vented by the Qing army, and the will to fight of the Guanning army has been strengthened. Hey, it's really dangerous, this group of waste Eight Banners Army almost got rid of Lao Tzu. ”

Originally, Liu Cheng had absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the new army, but now he found that when he encounters a teammate like a pig, no matter how strong his combat effectiveness is, he may not be able to withstand the strength of the hindrance.

It would take a lot of time to count the specific numbers of seizures, and Liu Cheng knew that Jidu had sent him over just to make him appear less in front of Fu Shou's eyes, so as not to cause more conflicts. After turning around on the battlefield and making a sufficient gesture, Liu Chengcai hurried to the place where the captured goods were temporarily stored in the city.

Li Zhifang, as Liu Cheng's staff and the clerk of the new army, was carrying out statistical work here, and when he saw Liu Cheng coming, Li Zhifang put down the work in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

In this battle, Liu Cheng's contribution will not be small, and the new army will definitely ensure that more official positions are promoted. One is the reward, the other is the expansion, this is indispensable, before Liu Cheng also promised to protect Li Zhifang to break through Wu Sangui's army this time, the matter of quelling the rebellion, the overall situation has been decided, Li Zhifang is also sincerely happy, but also more and more diligent.

After narrating, seeing that there was no one around, Li Zhifang whispered to Liu Cheng that he had just seen Aobai, the first warrior of Manchuria sighing when he looked at the corpse of the Eight Banners Army.

Don't say that Li Zhifang has never seen it, even Liu Cheng has never even heard of Aobai's fiery temper, and he will sigh. However, both of them have seven tricks in their hearts, so how can they not understand the truth and the things it means. At this time, Li Zhifang deliberately informed Liu Cheng of this matter, and his intention was even more self-evident.

"Ye Yuan, do it well, there is no reason why what this official promised you before cannot be fulfilled."

"Student Xie Simati."

After chatting for a few words, Li Zhifang once again devoted himself to the work of counting the seizures, but Liu Cheng walked around the captured warehouse, especially the weapons of the Guan Ning Army, which seemed to have a greater charm for him than gold, silver and jade silk.

"This spear can be used directly by the new army, and the infantry bow and bird gun are still forgotten, and they are destined to be eliminated......"

The new army won a complete victory, but it also blew up the old tactics of the Eighth Banner Army. Manchuria is different from Mongolia, riding and archery is a trail, dismounting and fighting on foot, and harassing and pursuing on horseback, which is the traditional method of warfare in Manchuria. But now, the Manchurian Eight Banners were crushed by the Spanish phalanx in the formation of foot battles, if it were not for the appearance of the new army, the death of the country may be a few months, but just relying on such a new army is still far from enough, before there was traditional and financial resistance in the DPRK, and now to this extent, the expansion has become a foregone conclusion.

In this new army, Liu Cheng was the minister of the General Assembly, the nominal No. 3 person, but in fact he was the person in charge of military training and the chief of staff in wartime, and had no right to lead the army to fight. Only by expanding the new army can he control the military power, and this is what he wants most.

In today's situation, although he is far from returning to the capital, Liu Cheng has already begun to plan for expansion. However, he also knows that the road is coming out step by step, and the smooth sailing of the past two years has not made him relax his vigilance, and today's whip is a lesson.

"Fu Shou, you wait for Lao Tzu, and when Lao Tzu holds the power of the world, he will definitely chop Ru Ling Chi to pieces to relieve today's shame."

The brutality overwhelmed the pain, but it was only a short moment, but before the approximate capture data could be obtained, a cavalry officer of the New Army rode back to the city.

"If you go back to Liu Huiban, I found a few fine works watching the battlefield on the way when the army came just now, which was taken from them and was about to be given to the prince."

The officer was born in the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner, and his class was lower than Liu Cheng, just a Niu Lu Zhangjing, but Manchu and Mongolia were one, and they didn't look down on the Han Army Banner very much. However, Liu Cheng has been in the new army for two years, and he is still a high-ranking officer in charge of training, and he has some prestige over the years.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the things handed over by the officer, Liu Cheng was immediately stunned and snatched it over. Carefully examining it, his hand stroking the metal texture of the object, his brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

"A few meticulous work, capture a few people alive, kill a few people, but there is an escape, say it quickly!"

Liu Cheng was so excited that he was reprimanded by a Han military banner, and the officer was secretly angry, but Liu Cheng's prestige was still there, and he didn't dare to attack, just looked at the thing called the telescope, and couldn't help but reveal some doubts.

"If we go back to Liu's office, we found a total of four people, who fled everywhere and shot two people, and one of them killed himself knowing that he couldn't escape, only one of them was injured, but he hasn't been caught yet."

Those who can act as meticulous are all shrewd people, and it is not bad to be able to kill three people and injure one, especially when the war has just ended and the mind is exhausted. Unexpectedly, the officer's answer not only did not receive Liu Cheng's praise, but made him angry.

"Idiot! This thing was made in the workshop of the Military Industry Department in Jinhua, and those people were Zhejiang bandits, who were sent by Chen Wen to watch the new army. You've even let them run away, bastard! ”

………………

In the next few days, the new army went out in all directions, but they never found the wounded and fled, and finally failed.

This caused Liu Cheng to be furious, and he was injured, crossed the mountains and mountains, and finally escaped back to Yunyang Mansion in Huguang after a lot of hard work. When he arrived in Nanjing, Rao was strong and strong, and he was also taken care of by the Military Intelligence Department in Huguang on the ship, and he had only half his life left.

"Gustav's phalanx, no wonder the Qing court wants to prevent the leakage of information so strictly."

Since its appearance, the Spanish phalanx has been rampant in Europe for a century and a half, clearing all the old methods of European warfare in the Middle Ages into the dustbin of history. However, this kind of phalanx was born in the era of heavy cavalry, with too much emphasis on protection, even at the expense of the lethality of firearms, which gave rise to the later Maurice phalanx and the epoch-making Gustav phalanx built on the basis of the Maurice phalanx.

Of the four military intelligence department dispatches, two were tracked all the way to the Beijing station, and the other two were sent by the Xi'an station, and the one who escaped back with wounds was the former southeast economic standard, because he was absorbed into the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies because of his meritorious service as a prisoner to assist in the war.

The four intelligence officers were observing from different positions, and it didn't take long for them to come together to communicate, and a group of routs attracted the cavalry of the New Army, and they were exposed. But the four of them exchanged a lot of information, and all that was left was to send the information back, and as a result, they scattered and fled, killed and wounded, but they also recorded the process of this battle truthfully.

The Spanish phalanx used by Wu Sangui was improved on the version used by the Southeast Warp Standard, but the improvement was limited by weapons and equipment, and Wu Sangui could not provide more firearms, so he could only replace them with infantry bows, which invisibly reduced the lethality of the firearms troops that occupied 75 percent of the whole array.

This kind of inadequacy is still crushing in the face of the old tactics, because the core ideas and tactics of the phalanx have not changed, but when they encounter the new army, they are completely exposed.

Through Jesuit missionaries, the new army learned from the Swedish lion Gustav II, who relied on it to run amok across the continent, substituting the tactics of modern armies into the Gustav phalanx of the linear tactical system. Today, the most advanced tactics of the European continent shone in the Thirty Years' War, and the Spanish phalanx was quickly eliminated by it, and the First Battle of Weinan was just a reproduction of this process.

In his study, Chen Wen summarized the information about the New Army sent back by the Military Intelligence Department on several occasions, wrote and drew on the manuscript paper, and the tactics of the two sides in that battle were gradually presented in Chen Wen's pen.

"Sure enough, the actual firepower utilization rate is stronger."

According to the arrangement of the two armies on the manuscript paper, Chen Wen changed the paper and figured out the problem by just doing a math problem. However, when he suddenly came to his senses, Chen Wen raised his head and saw the puzzled eyes of Zhou Yueying and Chen Xinruo, the mother and daughter, as if he didn't quite understand what Chen Wen saw from these messy words and graphics on the table.

"Lady, take it and take a look, and the girl will let her father hug her."

The daughter was picked up by Chen Wen and placed on her lap, but her smart eyes were looking at Chen Wen's manuscript paper, looking like she wanted to understand.

Chen Wen's eldest daughter is extremely curious, and her ability to receive knowledge also makes Chen Wen ecstatic, but her mother seems a little worried about this, as if she is afraid that her daughter will repeat her mistakes.

Compared with Zhou Yueying's cranky thinking, Chen Wen didn't think too much about it, he was busy with official business on weekdays, and during the break between rests, Chen Wen would also teach his daughter to write, count, raise and raise, both to raise and educate, the inheritance of knowledge and ideas, although according to the tradition of this era, it is also to teach his son, not his daughter, but compared to his son who is still babbling, her daughter's intelligence has already shown signs.

"Come, girl, daddy made his debut math problem, and there is a reward for solving it."

"Daddy just asks the question, and my daughter must answer it seriously."

"Okay, okay, good daughter."

Holding his daughter, Chen Wen laughed, and then said to the little girl, who was not yet four years old: "Suppose there are two armies, the first army ......"

"Husband, if Xin Ruo is a daughter, what are you doing with those swordsmen?"

Zhou Yueying was a little dissatisfied, and Chen Wen hurriedly changed the topic. However, changing the soup without changing the medicine is nothing more than changing the soldiers into money.

"Suppose your father and your mother each have 10,000 taels of silver, and your father promises to give Xinruo three-quarters of it as a dowry, and your mother promises to give Xinruo two-thirds of it as a dowry, but half of the silver promised by your father is stored in the Guangfu ticket number to eat interest, and your mother's two-thirds are all in your hands. Xinruo told her father, did her father give Xinruo more dowry, or did your mother give more? ”

What the dowry is, the little girl doesn't seem to understand quite yet. However, after thinking about it with a small mouth, Chen Xinruo quickly replied: "Daddy gives a lot." ”

"Huh?"

This answer made Chen Wendeng stunned, and even Zhou Yueying put down the documents in her hand and looked at her daughter with a frown.

"Why?"

"Because my mother said that my father will do what he says, and the great hero who will do what he does is not false. Xinruo thought that since her father had promised, she would definitely give it to Xinruo, and she wouldn't care if she didn't eat the interest. ”

I thought that my daughter couldn't guess, but I didn't expect such an answer, and when she looked up at Zhou Yueying, the latter was also shy and fleeting, and then gently nodded her daughter's little head.

"This girl, she is so sharp and sharp at a young age, this is not taught by a concubine."

Haha laughed, Chen Wen then asked Chen Xinruo: "What if Daddy must eat interest?" ”

"That's because my mother gave me a lot, and my father really picked the door."

"How much worse?"

"What Daddy gave to Xinruo is only half of what his mother gave to Xinruo, and he doesn't pick the door."

After getting this answer, Chen Wen and Zhou Yueying looked at each other with the word shock clearly written in their eyes. A little girl who is less than four years old can mix five-digit calculations, which seems a little abnormal. Seeing this, Chen Wen tentatively asked how he calculated it, but the answer he got made him unable to sit still.

"Xinruo didn't think it was silver, but only the words that her mother taught Xinruo every day. Suppose the mother said in the morning that she would teach Xinruo ten words, and she taught three-quarters of them in the morning, but just half of the teaching, the eldest aunt came to visit the door for a day, then today Xinruo only learned three words, plus a few paintings of the fourth word. But if the mother finished two-thirds of the teaching in the morning, and the aunt came to visit the door after lunch, then Xinruo learned six words, and she was rich. Isn't the former only half as much as the latter? ”

Drawing inferences, Chen Wen has a new understanding of the IQ of this daughter of his. But just as Chen Xinruo calculated, after the battle of Weinan and Wu Sangui's Spanish formation, the cavalry of the new army could not pose a threat to it from the flanks. However, if the phalanx with the spearmen in the center and the musketeers in the four corners was only attacked from one side, then the other two corners could only be idle.

In this way, although Wu Sangui has an army of 20,000, even if the Fifth Battalion of Volunteers tries to break the Eight Banners Army brought by Fu Shou, there should be 15,000 troops and 11,250 archers, but in fact, those who can shoot at the new army on the front line are actually only half of this number, more than 5,000 people. On the side of the new army, the total number of 7,200 shooters is all rotated on the front line, and the number alone is judged, and this does not calculate the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of weapons and armor on both sides.

"Wu Sangui's actual number of archers participating in the battle is not as good as others, and there are also a large number of foot archers mixed in it, and the firepower of this Spanish phalanx itself has been suppressed, let alone played like this. Counting the range of the Lu Mi gun is superior to the bird gun, the heavy armor and cloth armor have the ability to protect the bird gun, not to mention that the new army also played the trick of three rows of simultaneous salvo fire and small-caliber artillery with grapeshot shells, Wu Sangui did not lose at all. It can even be said that if it weren't for the slaughter of the whole city and the fact that those Guanning troops had no way to retreat, Wu Sangui was afraid that he would have been beaten all over the ground by the new army, and it would be a miracle that he could hold out until the right wing of the Qing army collapsed. ”

A simple math problem was obtained, but a cruel answer was obtained, and judging from the performance of the new army on the battlefield, the new army's will to fight was by no means inferior to the Beiyang New Army at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

This is not alarmist, the training methods of the Beiyang New Army came from Europe, and were trained by Germany, an army power; The training methods of this new army also came from Europe, which was the tactics of Sweden, the European army power of this era, and it was also mixed with many modern military training methods that Liu Cheng learned from Chen Wen.

However, the soldiers of the Beiyang New Army served as soldiers in order to be paid and eat Yuan Dashuai's food, so they fought for Yuan Dashuai; And this new army has a great sense of urgency, they are all banner people, there are a lot of benefits including hardcore crops, and they are superior, but the Manchu Qing is now standing on the edge of the cliff, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty dies, their interests can not be preserved, not to mention, the identity of the banner people also makes them inevitably suffer from the revenge of the Han dynasty, which is a major event related to the well-being of themselves and their families, plus Liu Cheng's brainwashing of the new army from Beijing Station, such as the slogan that must be shouted every day......

Assuming that the Beiyang New Army and the Eight Banners New Army use the same weapons, not to mention that the tactics are not suitable for the current level of weapon technology, but only the will to fight and the ability to tolerate casualties, the former is afraid that the latter will be completely exploded.

After all, this is still the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the degree of corruption of the Eight Banners Army is still relatively low, and the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also forcibly interrupted by Chen Wen, coupled with the training methods of the modern army and the Gustav phalanx that rampant across the European continent, there is such a monster as the New Army, and even Chen Wen has never seen such a strong Eight Banners Army in historical novels on the Internet.

"Husband, is the new army of the Tartars really so strong?"

Hearing this question, Chen Wen raised his head, but what he saw was the eyes of Zhou Yueying and Chen Xinruo's mother and daughter, and a sense of pride arose.

"This new army is indeed a rare elite, but whether it is Yu Ting, Liu Cheng, or Wu Sangui, they don't know anything about real strength!"
