Chapter 431: Preparing for the Dead Soldiers' Battalion

"What? It's really a strange thing, I deliberately chose some real food protection convoy, but the Tartar soldiers used it, is this considered to lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot? Zheng Jianjun said with a wry smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This sentence made the captain and captain of the pro-guard team Zhou Shiqi sit next to him, and now it is a dilemma, the interface agrees, isn't this the face of the chief soldier, but opposition, isn't that taking yourself into the ditch? Isn't it better not to speak now, and wait for the commander-in-chief to continue to command.

"Tell me, what are you going to do to crack the Tartar's dirt cart?" Zheng Jianjun looked at a few generals who were smiling bitterly, and immediately understood that there was ambiguity in what he said, and he was embarrassed for a while, and then immediately changed the topic.

"It is said that this kind of earthen cart, we have also used it, if it is directly hit by the iron bullet of the tiger squat cannon, it will not be spared, but we have a total of eight artillery pieces, to do this, I'm afraid it won't work," Zhou Shiqi is not a wine bag and rice bag, after all, he is not a fool who can stand out among the thousands of Qin troops and become the captain of the general guard of a town.

As soon as all the generals in the camp saw him speak, they immediately listened to him, and then listened to him continue, "The muzzle of the cannon is not good, but I see that there is no armor on these Mongolian Tatars, and the arrows equipped with them do not pose much threat to us. ”

"Nacheng, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, you still have to move the real guy, you have to pack up and take a look at the most fierce southeast two gates with me." Zheng Jianjun summed it up slightly, anyway, he is not very good at fighting, and he can get to today's position, mostly because of his brother Zheng Renbao's support, but he has the biggest advantage of this person, that is, he is not ambiguous in following orders, and if he doesn't understand, just collect the opinions of his subordinates, and there has been no major problem with this set so far.

"Battalion Zheng, the chief soldier is coming up," Zhang Huichang, who was inspecting the east gate, heard the report of the soldiers behind him, and immediately rushed down the earthen wall to meet him.

"Lord Commander, why are you here? Arrows are flying here, and if something goes wrong, how can you get it? ”

"Where is there a place of absolute safety on the battlefield? Hugh is going to say more, I'll come up and see for myself how the Tartars play, and leave me alone. Zheng Jianjun didn't care about blocking his persuasion, and then led people directly to touch the earthen wall, and looked at the Mongolian Tatar soldiers who were struggling to shovel soil on the grain wheelbarrow two or three hundred steps away, and was shocked, what should I do?

"Lord Commander, you have also seen that the Tartars lost the first formation, and now they are also shrewd, but now, with the earth-wheeled cart in front, most of us have firearms in our hands, and they are not bows and crossbows that can be thrown, what can we do?" Zhang Huichang was a little angry, after all, the entire Qin army began to be equipped with new firearms one after another, which were much stronger than the previous old-fashioned firearms in terms of rate of fire and stability and power.

And the method used is not to say how innovative, that is, the original Ming army used firearms regularization, institutionalization and centralized production, craftsmen to take the assembly line segmented manufacturing, and finally to unify the assembly, especially the most important barrel and ammunition, are strictly controlled, once there is a scrap, the party to be punished, deducted, and all the scrap back to the furnace, in this way, the essence of the firearms without any technological leap, but can play a nearly double the power than the original, the rate of fire has also increased by one-third, as for the explosion of the chamber, Then don't talk about it, the ammunition is fed in and not stuffed in, the smoothbore of the barrel is smooth and undented, how can this be explosive, and the soldiers have also undergone strict training, this is the soldiers of the era of the array line fed with silver.

Therefore, the Qin army relied on this kind of absolute obedience and queuing up to shoot the firearms soldiers of the era, and it can already be regarded as an elite in the world, but there are advantages and disadvantages, that is, who can put the firearms into the sky and hit the enemy in front of them? Bows and arrows are fine, but firearms are absolutely fine!

"When we trained, we also used a large number of artillery to directly concentrate on the attack to quickly defeat the enemy's earthwork vehicles, but whenever we beat the Ming army, this move is a hundred tried, but now there is no artillery? What to do? "Zhang Huichang is also not a famous general, and even the entire Qin army is a shoddy general who can only obey at the brigade rate and battalion level, at least they haven't read many military books, and there are many people who haven't even read books.

The reason why they were able to win all battles and be promoted to this position was that they were obedient, second, loyal, and third, they showed better ability than others in the era of the array line, but once they encountered adversity, they had not much choice but to fight to the death, after all, how many Qin troops were in the army? The famous generals were also trained by a knife and a shot on the battlefield.

"Zhang Yingzheng, I can't mention it like this, I mean to estimate, no artillery is not afraid, you come and see, the Mongolian Tatars are big, they will arrange all the cavalry in the rear to avoid the scorching sun, this gives us an opportunity, if we do it according to my wishes, directly select a hundred dead soldiers from each door, armed with a heavy hammer of fire oil, and wait for the Tartars to launch an attack, directly out of the camp to fight to the death, and destroy all their earthwork vehicles in a battle, so that they can not enter." Although Zhou Shiqi's identity is only a captain, it is actually equivalent to the battalion that is released, and he will definitely be a cronie under the command of the general army of a town, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, are you afraid that you will not be promoted?

"Opponent, what you want is this momentum, you see, the Tartar soldiers are blocking in front with a full hundred vehicles, they are vainly trying to use earth and stones to counteract our firearms strikes, but in this way, do you see, how many cars can be placed in front of our camp? Can their cavalry still charge? Our firearms are now within eighty paces, can effectively kill and injure the enemy, if we put the Tartars within fifty paces and then fight, choose the battalion of dead soldiers to fight in heavy armor, and directly burn the chariots of his gate, so that even if the cavalry behind them comes up, they have to be hindered by their own people, even if one or two see the opportunity quickly, let go of the mouth to fight, we can still be afraid that they will not succeed? The cavalry has a big target, let's fight it, and we can beat their arrogance in one battle. ”

Zheng Jianjun finished speaking in one breath, which shows that he recognizes this plan very much in his heart.

"I think it can be done, I will call Cao Yingzheng together, and transfer the elites of the two battalions to form a main force, but I am afraid that they will not come, and they must be killed and injured when they come!" Zhang Huichang didn't care at all, don't look at the Qin army, there are only two battalions with a personal guard, the number is only about 3,500 people, but these are elite soldiers who have been trained for six months, much stronger than the Mongol Tatars.

"Hmph, if you want to fight, you can fight a big one, pass my order, pull up the reserves and prepare to counterattack at any time, in addition, the sand and soil blocking the gate of the camp will clear a road, and only a thin layer will be left to frighten the Mongolian Tartars outside, so that the Mongolian Tartars at the west gate and the north gate are the least, you can arrange it, arrange and coordinate the troops." Zheng Jianjun thought about it for a moment and immediately ordered.

"Okay, we'll give the Tartar a good look." Zhang Huichang immediately received the order, and then began to select the warriors who fought to the death in the camp, to say that in the land of Qin and Jin, there are good men who are never willing to fight to the death, and now when they hear the camp say this, thousands of people suddenly got up at the same time, and even the young men who came over to find an opportunity also asked to participate, after all, many of them are village heroes who have been trained by the Tuntian camp, and when they hear that they can kill the Tartars and get a reward, what are they afraid of?

"The number of people can't be too much, the north gate and the west gate each arrange a team of elite to counterattack for the first time, and then arrange 200 people to meet the militia soldiers, be sure to destroy all their earth-wheels at one time, but in the south gate and the east gate, this time to give them a hard blow, the east gate is personally in charge of me, the personal guards pull me all up, choose two hundred dead soldiers to fight me, Zhou Shiqi, this time you do a good job, I will give you a camp, dare to go?!" Zheng Jianjun didn't care about anything else, anyway, he fought the Mongol Tatars, and their Qin army had never been afraid.

"Lord Commander, just watch and see how I kill the Tartars." Zhou Shiqi was overjoyed when he heard this, although it was good to be the captain of the guard, and the level was one level higher than the team rate, but after all, he was by Zheng Jianjun's side, and he could only be the last reserve to watch every time he fought, and it was really better to be a battalion outside, so that with his true ability, he would also take a brigade to lead the general army at that time, and it would not be in vain for a good man to go to the world, as for the unfortunate death in the middle of the battle, it was also a worthy death, and to die for the Qin army was to die for the people of the world! Death is great and glorious!

"Good! The battalions are ready to report to me quickly, and I will personally cheer you on at the east gate. Zheng Jianjun was inspired by the enthusiasm of the lower guards to invite the battle, if it weren't for his identity, he would even want to go directly to the battle to lead the team.

"Lord Commander? You are also not kind, you said that the east gate will be handed over to me, but now it is your personal guards who are attacking, isn't this fooling people? Zhang Huichang, who was waiting for the arrangements to come back from the south gate, was rushing to start taking his battalion of dead soldiers into battle, and suddenly saw that Zheng Jianjun's personal guards were ready to go into battle, and immediately wondered, isn't this nonsense?

"Didn't I rob you of your position, what are you afraid of? I listened to your report, the east gate here is the most killed, look at the layout of this Mongolian Tatar general, I'm afraid it's a dead brain, why not fight a guy here, and by the way, also hit their arrogance, in this way, your more than 100 people, follow behind, I will pull up the reserves, directly out of the camp to fight, as long as there is the cover of firearms and artillery, you will not be surrounded.
