Chapter 304: Active Attack, Firecracker Tactics
Huang Taiji first named the red flag Gushan Ezhen Dudu: "Anping Belle, you were the first to fight Wang Dou in Tongzhou, you can talk about it." Those warriors, but they were all strong warriors who had followed him for many years and fought in the south and the north, so meaninglessly lost in front of Wang Dou's military array.
The ministers around him all sighed for a long time, feeling that Wang Dou was fighting this kind of tactic, and they had the feeling that a dog biting a hedgehog and not knowing where to start.
In particular, the strength of the soldiers in the middle of Wang Dou's army is very different from that of other Ming armies, and the tactical results that they are proud of, their strong bows and crossbows, and the outstanding fighting ability of the warriors are not used in front of Wang Dou at all.
It was a whole new world, and it was so much beyond their comprehension that they didn't know how to deal with it. There may be a way, regardless of casualties, using crowd tactics to break through Wang Dou's military formation, but this kind of tactic is unacceptable to all the Eight Banner soldiers.
Kong Youde also listened carefully beside him, as early as the third day of the first month, when he arrived at Baodi with Huang Taiji, he had a premonition that thousands of his subordinates might fight. At that time, he thought that he should have a nine- or seventy-percent chance of winning.
However, after the defeat of Aobai's Yellow Flag Forward, he beat a drum in his heart, and after meeting with the remnants of the Yellow Flag of Zhun Tower, he invited Zhun Tower to speak several times. knocked on the side, just to find out the war situation at that time.
After Kong Youde returned to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji treated him very well, he led the troops to occupy the mansion of the rich people of the officials, Yue Tuo and others impeached him, and Huang Taiji didn't even ask. Once he fell off a horse and injured his hand, but Huang Taiji immediately issued an edict to comfort him.
To his subordinates, Huang Taiji also admonished the sergeants several times to practice guns and cannons from time to time. Therefore, although his Han army flag is most artillery, the fire gun array is not unpracticed, although it is not very formal, after all, he was born as a cavalry general.
There are all the bird guns in the army, and there is no danger of exploding, after all, they are the excellent bird guns that Sun Yuanhua spent a lot of money to make back then. In the era of Qi's army, granular gunpowder was used in the Ming army, and although he did not use fixed cartridge ammunition, granular gunpowder was also used. Although the caliber of the bird gun is small, it can break the iron armor in fifty steps, and it is also very lethal to the unarmored soldiers in one hundred steps.
So with this basis, although Wang Doujun is famous and the Eight Banners talk about the tiger's color, Kong Youde boasted in front of Huang Taiji that he had a chance of winning nine or seventy percent. I can't wait, I wait for work, if the Ming horse comes to disturb, send a warrior to meet the battle. ”
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, especially Dorgon, who exhaled heavily.
The ministers said in unison: "The emperor is sage." ”
Hearing the relieved voices of everyone beside him, Huang Taiji's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was not a. It is certain that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Kingdom are all full of fear of Wang Dou on the opposite side. Everyone is afraid of war, which was unthinkable before.
Seeing that the Qing army on the opposite side was motionless, Wang Tingchen was surprised: "What the hell is the slave chief doing, why are you still stupid and standing still?" ”
"Is there a fraud?"
Cao Bianjiao was also groaning, puzzled. It has always been the Qing army attacking, the Ming army defending, at this time the Qing army has already completed the formation, but it is motionless, no wonder Wang Tingchen and others think too much.
Wang Dou shook his head: "They are afraid of our army and dare not attack. ”
He muttered for a long time, the army formation of Huang Taiji and others was two miles away, and this distance could not be hit by artillery, if they didn't attack, they would attack by themselves.
He said: "Our army takes the initiative to attack, my foot soldiers fight first, if the enemy cavalry comes to disturb, we will have to rely on the two military gates." ”
Wang Tingchen said: "General Wang, just rest assured, my sons are willing to live and die with the general." ”
Cao Bianjiao said solemnly: "The general is polite, this is Cao's responsibility." My subordinate sons will definitely work hard to protect the two wings of the Shunxiang army and prevent the enemy from approaching half a step. ”
Wang Dou thanked the two of them and shouted: "Order, Shunxiang army advances!" ”
The Chinese army flag danced, seeing this flag, Wen Fangliang breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Han Chao: "It's finally time to fight, I still think that I have to stand stupidly until noon to eat!" ”
He looked at Kong Youde beside him: "Obey the king, you will lead the soldiers in the banner to fight and frustrate their arrogance!" ”
Seeing the momentum of Wang Doujun's battle formation, Kong Youde knew that he would lose this battle, but what could he do, he still dared to disobey Huang Taiji's orders? Fortunately, I listened to the meaning revealed by the emperor, and the Eight Banners Han Army will be formed in the future, that is, these subordinates will be wiped out today, as long as a good impression is left in the emperor's heart, there will be a day when the troops will be reorganized.
At that moment, he shouted his order and shouted: "The emperor will sit in the Chinese army, and wait for the good news of Weichen to come." ”
After saying that, he stood up suddenly, and went down the hill majestically, under the hill there was already a large array of Chinese troops composed of two yellow flags and blue flags, and his Han army flag was also among them, and the two wings were the soldiers and horses of Dolgon and others.
Kong Youde's Han army flag and armor are all white with black edges, and the sergeant is in cotton armor and holds a bird gun. Among these sergeants, more than 1,000 were his old subordinates, and the rest were all drawn from the Han people in the Qing Dynasty, and one person was drawn out of every ten strong men.
Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng and others in his army were all former fierce generals of Mao Wenlong, and they fought quite bravely. When Sun Yuan became the governor and spent a lot of money to build the firearms army, Kong Youde had great ambitions in his heart, hoping to take Qi Jiguang as an example to reproduce the glory of the Qi family army and fight a Kong family army.
After surrendering to the Qing State, he knew that the army in his hand was the capital of his life, so he worked hard to manage the army.
However, in terms of the Ming generals, no matter how hard they work, it is also relative. He agitated and led the Eight Banners Han Army to also line up. His array march could not be compared with the Shunxiang army, and every few steps of the march had to stop for a while.
In this way, his army formation traveled half a mile, and the battle formation of the Shunxiang army had approached less than a mile, and the battlefield was quite strange at this time, the two infantry troops were forcing each other forward, but each other's cavalry was motionless. It's like a pure crush coming to watch the battle.
At this distance, Kong Youde had already ordered to form a defensive formation and stop advancing.
In his concept, the bird gun seems to be used for defense, offensive and fighting, and he doesn't know how to fight it yet. Although the layout of the battle formation of the Shunxiang army on the opposite side is in the eyes, it is not a simple matter to draw a gourd in the same way, and doing it in a hurry will only make the military formation that you were originally familiar with a pot of porridge and the command system collapse.
What the result will be, you will only know if you have beaten it.
Kong Youde's formation is the traditional three-fold array of the Ming Dynasty. There are front army soldiers, left and right wings, and there are middle troops and reserves, and each wing also has front teams and squadrons of different columns.
In this battle, the front line was hundreds of paces away from the enemy, the front team and the middle team did not move, and the rear team quickly caught up, lined up in front of the front team, ready to meet the battle. When the enemy army came between 50 and 100 paces, the soldiers at the front rushed to the sound of drums.
In the course of the battle, the positions of the front, middle, and rear teams are constantly circulating, and fighting and resting alternately. When Mingjin withdrew his troops, the front team quickly retreated to the back of the rear team. The middle and rear teams did not move, ready to deal with the pursuers.
can list such an array, in fact, among the Ming generals, Kong Youde is talented. Many Ming generals didn't even know the basic battle formation banners, and when they were fighting, they led their families to rush up, and when they were defeated, they were in a mess, and they couldn't talk about any formation at all.
Therefore, after Kong Youde set up the formation, his 3,000 bird soldiers were divided into several pieces, with 500 bird soldiers on each wing. The front army has 1,000 birds, and the Chinese army has 1,000 birds and soldiers as reserves. Among the 1,000 birds and soldiers of the front army, they were also divided into three teams: front, middle, and rear.
A total of more than 300 people in the front army and the rear team were the first to fight, looking at the Shunxiang army on the opposite side, they all showed a nervous look in their eyes, the other party is also a fire gun, and there will be no cover, what should I do? Kong Youde standing in the Chinese army is also anxious about this issue.
He rode in with Huang Taiji, and he didn't bring any heavy craftsmen, so he couldn't make a shield car.
If they are armed with shields, how can they fight? V has the latest chapters updated in time
