Chapter 820: Long Card
ο»Ώ
The phalanx of the Ningxiang Army stopped as soon as the artillery began firing, and this sudden roar aroused the interest of King Fu, who turned his head to look at the artillery with joy.
Since the troops began to advance, the artillerymen's mules and horses followed with cannons. At this moment, they were already lined up, loading, firing, clearing, loading, firing, and clearing again. This set of movements, in the past few years, they don't know how many times they have to repeat every day, has already become a conditioned reflex.
The number of steps apart from each gun, the position of ammunition, braziers, long rods, buckets, and the position of gunners and loaders have all been accurately calculated. It is no exaggeration to say that even with their eyes blindfolded, they were able to shoot the shells as quickly as possible and hit the target accurately.
Spearmen, musketeers, cavalry, and finally long-range artillery, the last piece of the puzzle of the spear phalanx of the Ningxiang Army was completed.
On a hot day, all the gunners were already hot, especially the loaders, which was simply heavy physical work. An iron bullet the size of a grapefruit is fifty or sixty pounds, and only a few shots are shot, and everyone's sweat soaked through their clothes.
The material life of the ancients was greatly inadequate, and clothing and fabrics could often be used directly as currency. There are artillerymen who feel sorry for the military uniforms on their bodies, and they are stripped naked.
King Fu began to talk again, and he kept shaking his fat head: "These soldiers don't look good, there is a lump on their bodies, but their upper bodies are big, but their legs are thin, like crabs, they are still not as good as General Tang Wenxing." β
Lu Jiude couldn't stop coughing, Sun Yuan shook his head, and ordered the artillerymen to put on their clothes.
At this time, King Fu found Pablo, who was dressed gorgeously like a big rooster, with a look in his eyes: "Why is there still a Xiyi red hair?" β
"It's not red-haired, the red-haired devil is from the northwest of Thailand, this person is from the south, you see his hair is black
γ Sun Yuan explained: "This person's name is Pablo, and he is the commander of the artillery of my Yangzhou Town. β
"This General Ba is good, and the artillery is good." King Fu thought for a while, and finally added: "It's very loud, it's not broken." οΌοΌβ
Sun Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Majesty Shengming." β
To be honest, this battle was really bloody and cruel for the coalition forces on the opposite side. If I changed to others, I saw so much dripping red, and I was already frightened and depressed. But this blessed king is still talking and laughing, and he is outrageously naΓ―ve. This future Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty has a good psychological quality.
"The enemy has posted it." Ma Shiying beside him screamed, attracting everyone's attention.
However, he saw that Li Chengdong's troops had already rushed to the front of the Ningxiang Army after a desperate charge, and entered the range of the Ningxiang Army's spear.
The shouts of the officers of the Ningxiang Army rang out everywhere: "The spear ---- left!" β
"Lance ---- left!"
"Thorn!"
"Thorn!"
"Thorn!"
Thousands of spears pierced out at the same time, all of them stabbing diagonally to the left.
"Ahh A miserable scream sounded, and the soldiers of the Qin army who rushed to the front were instantly pierced into the ribs by spears.
"Close!"
"Close!"
"Close!"
All the spearmen turned their spears at the same time as the officer ordered, and the spearhead was withdrawn from the enemy's body.
Tens of thousands of human blood were marked out like pillars of water, spraying into the air, and the entire heaven and earth were covered in this viscous black and red.
"Ahh At this time, all the eunuchs, including Lu Jiude, let out a deafening scream, as if they were the ones who were shot. This cruel situation completely frightened them, and some of them rolled their eyes, fainted, and slipped off their horses limply
γ
After calling it, Lu Jiude realized that he was already a big shame in front of Sun Yuan and Ma Shiying. He gritted his teeth, but the clattering of his teeth could still be heard.
It's really terrifying, no matter how many people the enemy comes, no matter what kind of action he makes, under the spear of the Ningxiang Army, he will be killed with one move. Could it be that the legend is true, and Sun Yuan really knows how to spell?
"Lance ---- left!"
"Spear, left!"
The second round of spear left stabs is about to start again. [.Lots of good]
At the same time, Li Chengdong, who was also shocked and couldn't breathe, rushed to the front, and when the enemy drew his gun, the corpses of the Qin soldiers in front of him had fallen into a low wall. In just one moment, more than two hundred soldiers died in front of the battle.
Two hundred people, all the elite of the army, were lost in an instant. This is just the beginning, and by the end of the battle, the devil knows how long it will be, and how to fight?
All the soldiers turned around at the same time, trying to flee.
With a wave of the big knife in Li Chengdong's hand, he slashed the two deserters to the ground, and shouted with all his strength: "Long card!" β
With this command, a thousand long players rushed forward at the same time.
These long cards were all newly made some time ago, and they were about four feet high, just enough to cover the soldiers. It was also covered with animal skins and linen, and some of them were nailed with iron sheets. There is also a pointed wooden stake erected underneath the long plate.
They had been training in long-card tactics for a long time, and immediately shouted and stabbed the stake into the dirt. The long card and the long card are connected together, like a wall.
The spear of the Ningxiang army stabbed over, making a crisp sound of "grabbing".
At this moment, the moving Qin army and the Ning Xiang army's oblique spears stabbed at the same time, and the scene was strangely still. Clearly, there is a delicate balance between the two sides.
Although the Qin army's long card array was closely connected, the spears of the Kening Township Army were all stabbed diagonally to the left, and many of them still pierced in from the gap in the combination of the long card and the long card, and submerged into the ribs of the Gao Jie soldiers, bursting out of red light behind the shield
γ
In the loud screams, the long card array wavered a little. But the Qin army behind still came like a tide, struggling to support.
It is also because the wooden stake at the top of the long card is deeply pierced into the mud, and the shield can stand, so that it will not be crushed in an instant.
"Well done!" Li Chengdong was greatly surprised, and he was also frightened by the left stab of the spear of the Ningxiang Army just now. He didn't understand how the elites with high martial arts under him could be easily stabbed to death like children in front of him, and he didn't even have the slightest power to parry. He still had some doubts about the long card array designed by Mao Xiang. In his opinion, Mao Bijiang is also a sour ding, who knows what to fight. However, since General Gao chose to believe him, Li Chengdong could only obey. Now seeing that the long card array was blocking the enemy's spear stab, he hurriedly shouted: "Sword and axe hand! β
With his shout, in just a moment, the Qin soldiers behind the long card threw the spears and short axes in their hands like raindrops at the same time.
From the gap in the shield, Li Chengdong saw that the enemy spearmen on the opposite side immediately fell in pieces. Some people were nailed to the ground directly by spears, and some people were struck in the face by throwing axes, threw away their weapons, and fell down softly covering their faces.
The same red rose in the enemy's formation, and the forest of spears that had been dense before of the Ningxiang Army also became sparse.
"What a venture, what a strategy!" Li Chengdong excitedly patted his breastplate with his waist knife and couldn't help cheering loudly. It turns out that the Ningxiang army is also human, and they will also bleed and die.
This battle has a start, and our Qin army can win.
In fact, sword and shield soldiers were the most common type of troops in the Ming army. In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the elite troops of Taizu and Chengzu were invincible all over the world, and even the so-called Mongolian iron cavalry was beaten all over the ground by them. At the beginning, the Ming army, whether it was cavalry, infantry or firearms, had a perfect set of tactics. It's just that the Ming army gradually eroded, and finally completely degenerated into a pile of garbage.
Mao Xiang just found out this set of sword and shield tactics from the old newspaper pile, and changed it slightly, but he didn't want it to have such a good effect.
There were two more rounds of spear throwing and axe attacks, and the Ningxiang army on the opposite side paid hundreds of casualties.
However, the enemy's position was still not chaotic. As soon as someone fell, there was an immediate hand to drag the corpse and wounded back into the line, while the spearmen in the back stepped forward to fill the gap left by their comrades
γ
And the officers of the Ningxiang Army were still shouting in an orderly manner: "The spear --- stabbed in the left!" β
The whole world was filled with the fluffy sound of spears stabbing shields.
"What a tenacity!" No matter how many casualties the enemy had, there was no scream, and the face was still numb and mechanical. Suddenly, Li Chengdong felt a little chill in his heart.
Although the enemy paid a lot of casualties, the Qin army's long-card formation had only been practiced for a few days, and it was not proficient. There were still spears that could not be defeated by the enemy, like poisonous dragons, piercing through the gaps between shields and harvesting the lives of a soldier.
The Ningxiang army was uncomfortable, and the Qin army was even more uncomfortable. Because it takes a lot of effort to throw a spear and throw an axe, the soldiers who can use this weapon are strong men in the army. Five or six throws at most, and they'll have soft hands. The lethality will also gradually decrease over time, until it is negligible.
"It seems that we can't delay any longer, we have to attack!"
β¦β¦
"General Shao, the brothers are a little seriously wounded!" Wen Jianjian frowned and looked at the battle situation in front of him, feeling a little anxious: "Since we formed the army, we have not suffered such a loss. β
That's right, in this battle, the Ningxiang Army was at the forefront of Shaowei's Weizi battalion.
Wen Laosan hated and pulled out the musket on his back, and was about to walk forward, saying, "Gao Jie thought that he would be fine if he discharged such a turtle formation, and he would be fine if he shrank in his shell, and he thought it was beautiful." Musketeers, prepare! β
Shao Wei: "Wait, wait, wait for Pablo's artillery to come, let's give the enemy another ruthless." β
Wen Jian looked back, but saw that behind him, Pablo was roaring with a team of artillerymen pushing ten bronze cannons rushing over like a wind, and all the artillerymen were ****. His skin and face had been blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, and he looked like a hungry ghost from hell.
Wen Jian was stunned: "The minibus doesn't shoot in the back, what is it doing in front, isn't this adding to the chaos?" β
Shao Wei smiled faintly: "He's going to put a bayonet on the cannon!" Lao Wen, we should also prepare and prepare, don't let the artillery battalion rob me of the credit of the Weizi battalion. After resting for so many years, it is not easy to catch the battle, this is our hard-won opportunity! β
