Chapter 535: Go to War

Kang Xing'an was a little depressed, but finally shook his head and said to Zhang Li: "My lord, my subordinates really can't think of ......."

While Kang Xing'an was thinking, Zhang Li's eyes still did not leave the suffocating battlefield of confrontation between the two sides not far away. Hearing Kang Xing'an say this, Zhang Li couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at Kang Xing'an, and said in a deep voice: "Water Master!" Kong Youde's sailor! ”

"The sailor of the Qing army?!" Kang Xingan exclaimed, and soon he reacted!

Indeed, as Zhang Zhang said, because there was no trace of Kong Youde's water division before, the high-level of the Tuanshan Army also discussed this issue. Later, Zhang Zhang gave an order to Chen Zhengcao, the commander of the regimental landscape division, to send reconnaissance ships to the sea to find out the whereabouts of Kong Youde's naval division in various port cities......

However, now that it is a land war, what role can Kong Youde's sailors play?

Could it be that the sailors can still go ashore to fight?!

As soon as he thought of going ashore to fight, Kang Xing'an suddenly remembered his good friend Li Dingguo, the captain of the Marine Corps of the Landscape Division. The Tuanshan Army has a Marine Corps, but the Qing Army does not have this establishment, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

At this moment, with the sound of a low and long horn in my ears, the whole earth seemed to tremble!

"The Tartars are attacking!" Zhang Li stared at the battlefield, pointed with his hand, and said with a grim expression.

Kang Xing'an hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhang Li's finger, and sure enough, the left and right flanks of the Qing army began to attack the Tuanshan Army at the same time.

Zhang Li reined in his thoughts and said to Kang Xing'an: "Send a signal flare, and the Tuanshan army will attack!" ”

"Yes, my lord!" Kang Xingan promised loudly and immediately went down to give the order. Soon two red flares shot into the sky. The Tuanshan army on the front line also began to meet the enemy!

This battle was unlike any of the previous ones, as there was almost no artillery on either side. As soon as it came up, there was a group charge of infantry.

The Qing army had 10,000 men on the left flank and 5,000 on the right flank. The corresponding Gao Yuanliang and Pan Batianbu also fought with 6,000 and 3,000 people respectively.

Bursts of fierce fire were heard on the battlefield, and the infantry on both sides began to fire muskets. The most taboo thing about fighting in a formation is to throw all the troops in a swarm, and such a dense formation will only become a target for artillery and muskets. Although there is no artillery on either side at the moment, the power of the mines in the palm of the hand cannot be ignored, so the use of this so-called "wave attack" is also a proper point.

After the rise of firearms, the tactics on the battlefield have changed dramatically compared with the era of cold weapons.

In the era of cold weapons, the number of warring parties often determines the outcome of a war. There are examples of winning more with less, but it does not mean that less wins more on the frontal battlefield, but through surprise attacks, food shortages, ambushes, and other tactics to achieve the goal. On the frontal battlefield, the number of people determines everything -- the premise is that the combat effectiveness is about the same, and there can be no huge gap in combat power between the Ming army and the Jiannu field.

But now everything has changed, and the "refueling tactics" that need to be absolutely forbidden in the era of cold weapons are the most commonly used tactics in the era of hot weapons......

After about three rounds of volleys of guns, the Tuanshan Army and the Qing Army met in close combat and officially entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. Zhang Zhang has been paying attention to the battle situation. He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

In the past, the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Han army banner was obviously inferior to that of the Manchu Eight Banners, but now the left and right flanks of the Tuanshan Army were in a bitter battle -- the right wing Pan Batianbu had already fought with the white flag and the inlaid white flag of Azig, while the left wing Gao Yuanliangbu did not gain an overwhelming advantage, and the Qing army's Han army flag was like a mad dog stalking the Tuanshan army. There were no scenes of morale breakdown.

The Qing army and the Tuanshan army fought attrition?

Kang Xing'an, who was standing beside Zhang Li, silently calculated the battle losses of the two sides, and after a while, he frowned slightly. opened his mouth and said to Zhang Li: "My lord, now the battle losses between the enemy and us are basically about two to one. It seems that the Tartars are about the same as they used to be - but strangely, according to previous experience. The Han army flag will scatter in a tenth of the formation, and soldiers will start to flee......"

After a pause, Kang Xing'an continued with a puzzled expression: "How can their morale be so high? ”

Zhang Zhang shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the enemy is, just do what we have to do." Anzi, pass on my general order, let the people of the military medical team go up to rescue the wounded, and increase the left and right wings by 2,000 troops each! ”

Kang Xing'an responded to the promise and rushed down to give the order.

……

In front of the Qing army, more than a hundred large boxes were all opened, revealing a dazzling white light. Behind Geng Zhongming, there was also a large fleet of horses, all of which were filled with boxes of the same size.

All the Han soldiers in the formation swallowed their saliva one by one, and their eyes were fixed on the boxes containing silver.

"Ten taels of silver for those who come out of the battle! One hundred taels for those who do not retreat for half an hour! The first rank of a regimental mountain army will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver! A general repeated it over and over again in his throat, and these words seemed to be like a magic spell, which made these soldiers of the Han army banner enchanted.

The soldiers clearly heard that they only needed to go out of the battle to have ten taels of silver, and those who insisted on not returning for half an hour would have a hundred taels, and fifty taels of silver would be added in the next quarter of an hour, and there would be no cap!

As the saying goes, "people die for money, birds die for food", there must be brave men under the heavy reward, the Han army flag is not only the front army and the Tuanshan army are inseparable, even the soldiers who are ready to go into battle behind are all gearing up.

Geng Zhongming's face was proud, he didn't expect the power of this money to be so great, or Taishi Hong had a way!

Hong Chengchou had previously transported a large amount of silver from Shenyang, and coupled with the looting in Korea for most of the past six months, more than a million taels of silver had now been gathered in Kaesong-all silver - all of them were white flowers, and there were not even silver tickets!

Hong Chengchou knew that for the Qing army, which had already been frightened by the Tuanshan army, it was useless to shout no number of slogans, and it was necessary to use real money......

"Governor, the Tuanshan Army has increased its troops!" A lieutenant general of the Han Army Banner shouted anxiously, and Geng Zhongming immediately withdrew his gaze from the silver box and turned his head to look at the battlefield.

Sure enough, the Tuanshan Army began to increase its troops. Geng Zhongming no longer hesitated, waved his big hand, and said to the deputy general: "You take five thousand people to the top!" ”

The general did not have any fear on his face, glanced at the dense silver box with his spare eyes, and replied loudly: "The last general has orders!" ”

Soon, the 5,000 Han Army banner soldiers who were already eager to try it were thrown into the battlefield, each carrying a silver coin weighing ten taels in their arms...... (To be continued.) )
