Chapter 292: The Fierce Full Soldiers
The tactics of the Manchurian cavalry against the Ming soldiers were to shoot with a strong bow first, and if they could shoot through the array of the Ming army, they would ride in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis tactic is not useful at all for the elite Ming army, which is often equipped with a lot of shield armor and has a large number of archers and musketeers in the army.
The range of the Manchurian bow and arrow is relatively short, and it is not much of a bargain for the infantry to shoot.
However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the corruption of the Ming army was terminally ill, and the quality of the muskets in the army was very poor and easy to explode, so although many Ming troops had musketeers, they could not shoot at the Manchurians at all. And the archers of the Ming army were even more scum compared to the Manchurians.
Most of the soldiers of the Ming army could not eat enough, so how could they have the strength to practice bows and arrows. For many Ming Dynasty troops, the most elite is the personal soldiers around the main general, a Ming army of thousands of people, and the real ones that can fight are only a few hundred personal soldiers.
Therefore, to deal with the Ming army, the ordinary tactics of the Manchurians are enough. Often a few rounds of bows and arrows are fired, and the array of the Ming army is already in chaos, and then only the cavalry needs to rush into the formation and break the array, and the rest is just slaughter.
Today, the Manchu cavalry used such a tactic against the Daishan army, the cavalry first threw a round of bows and arrows, then threw the bow and drew their weapons, and charged towards the Ming army's array.
The spear array of the Ming army had no defense against bows and arrows at all, and in a round of shooting, there were one hundred and ten soldiers killed by arrows, and at a distance of twenty paces, the power of the bows and arrows of the Manchurians was extremely great, and they could shoot even a bear in the northeast forest twenty paces.
The Manchurian archery was extremely accurate, and most of those who were shot were killed immediately, and those who did not die at that time were also seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
The array of spears immediately thinned out a lot, and more than a hundred full horsemen rushed towards the sparse place. Break through the enemy's formation, and then rush back from behind, after a few times, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be crushed, and this is the tactic adopted by the Manchurians.
The full army at the front rode towards the array, and most of the Ming troops at the impact in the round of fire just now fell, and the only remaining Ming soldiers raised the spears in their hands in fear. Short down, swinging the knife to cut the spear stabbed at the war horse, dragging it with a while, and then the swallow wing knife in the hand of the horse slashed across the body of the Ming army spearman, drawing a hole more than a foot long, blood spurted out, the Ming army spearman screamed and tried to block the cut with his hands, but where could he block it!
Easily broke through the queue of the Ming army, more than 100 full horsemen rushed towards the rear of the formation, ran forty or fifty paces to stop the horses, turned around, and prepared to charge the battle again.
In just one round of impact, more than a hundred corpses fell to the Ming army in the rear. Looking at the full cavalry who were preparing to turn around in the distance, all the Ming soldiers showed a look of despair on their faces.
Looking at the tragic situation on the battlefield, Chen Mingyang knew that he had to curb the speed of the full cavalry, otherwise in the next round, the morale of the Ming army would disappear completely, and the situation would be out of control.
"Everyone immediately assembles in the middle, and a group of three forms a three-talent formation!" Chen Mingyang shouted loudly.
Although Chen Mingyang is not the commander of the battlefield, in this moment of crisis, it is always better to have a command than not to command, and the Ming army on the battlefield subconsciously began to assemble according to Chen Mingyang's orders.
Originally, the spear array deployed by the Ming army was too thin, and it was okay to deal with ordinary pirates, and basically the array had not been broken by the enemy. But now they were facing the most elite Manchurian Iron Cavalry, and such a thin array could not stop the onslaught of the Manchurian Cavalry.
The soldiers of the Ming army on both sides quickly gathered in the middle, and the array was much thicker all of a sudden, although it was very scattered, but according to the Sancai array, the three Ming troops gathered in one place, and they were very orderly in the chaos.
"The Southern Barbarians are in chaos." The commander of the army, Jialazhen Abu Su, circled back to Malaysia, and shouted in surprise when he saw the chaotic formation of the opposing Ming army.
Although the generals of the Ming army had already thought of making the formation thicker to block the cavalry, the hasty change of formation made the formation scattered, how could such a formation block the impact of the Manchurian iron cavalry? As long as the array of the Ming army is broken again, they will inevitably be defeated, for more than ten years, Absu and the Ming army have fought countless battles, since the battle of Salhu, the last elite Qi army of the Ming Dynasty and the Sichuan white pole soldiers were both destroyed, the Manchurians have never encountered a strong opponent.
Although the Ming army on the opposite side was a little tougher than the ordinary Ming army, and had not broken up after the accumulation of bows and arrows and the breakthrough of the formation, Absu didn't think they could hold out for long, maybe after the next break, they would cry and scatter in all directions!
The bows and arrows had been collected before the previous charge, and the cavalry did not intend to shoot with their bows and arrows again, but they howled, flapped their horses, and brandished their weapons at the panicked army.
The war horse easily rushed into the Ming army's array, but to Abusu's surprise, the imaginary rout did not happen. Every Ming soldier he encountered did not flee, but stabbed the spear in his hand at him regardless of it.
Abu quickly bent down, using the saber in his hand to block the spear that was coming at him and the war horse under him, and he no longer had the strength to slash and kill the Ming army.
After the Manchurian cavalry rushed into the battle formation of the Ming army, they painfully found that they seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, and all the Ming soldiers they encountered did not care about stabbing the spears in their hands, and they could not reach the soldiers on the horses, so they stabbed the spears into the galloping horses.
The Manchurian cavalry struggled to pass over the spears, and could no longer care about killing the passing Ming soldiers.
One by one, the horses were stabbed with random spears, and they fell to the ground screaming. Many of the unprepared soldiers were crushed by their horses, and the nearby Ming soldiers would stab their spears into his body.
The sharper soldiers would jump to the ground before their horses fell, but they would soon be surrounded by the Ming army, and many of the soldiers roared angrily, swinging all kinds of weapons at the Ming soldiers. However, no matter how heroic a man is, he cannot withstand the attack of many soldiers.
Niu Lu Ezhen Yehai is a forty-year-old veteran who has followed Nurhachi and Huang Taiji for more than 20 years, experienced countless wars, and experienced countless dangers.
When the war horse was stabbed down by the Ming army, Ye Hai had already landed on his feet, brandished the mace in his hand, and burst the brain of the Ming army who stabbed his war horse with a stick.
Looking at the red and white things on the mace, Ye Hai howled loudly with excitement. Dancing the mace in his hand, he threw himself at the Ming army.
The three Ming troops formed a triangular formation and rushed towards Ye Hai, and two spears stabbed Ye Hai's waist and abdomen. Ye Hai just moved slightly, and he dodged a spear, and the other spear was just pierced on the armor leaf on Ye Hai's waist, but it slipped out, what is the use of such a small amount of strength is no matter how accurate the marksmanship is? Ye Hai waved his mace with just one click, and smashed the Ming soldier on the left side into the air, the Ming soldier was spurting blood in the air, his chest was sunken, and all his ribs were broken, and he had already swallowed his breath before he landed.
