The two sides formed a formation, with the musketeers in front and the artillery units behind, and arranged face to face.

If this stupid X formation method is in later generations, it will only make people wonder if the commander's military knowledge was taught by a physical education teacher. There are no trenches and no fortifications, so such a face-to-face confrontation is this a pig assault tactic in the island country?

It is the kind of tactic that overwhelms the opponent with a fearless spirit and launches a large charge regardless of the cost. What is puzzling is that in the early days of the Russo-Japanese and Chinese invasion wars, this tactic was still a classic tactic of island countries.

Yes, it seems that the two sides do intend to play pig tactics. Just because the artillery of both sides is in the rear, it is an extremely threatening thing for either side. Therefore, taking the lead in destroying the opponent's artillery array, that is the primary purpose of the strategy. Therefore, whether it is a scattered breakthrough or a concentrated breakthrough, the purpose is to tear a hole and destroy the opponent's artillery array to the greatest extent.

Perhaps, in the eyes of both sides, the so-called firearms war is to see who takes the lead in destroying the opponent's artillery array and wins the final victory.

In fact, this is also something that cannot be helped, the most elite war mode is the absolute elite of Great Qin. In addition, Daqin has not really used such a positional warfare model to the outside world, so Houjin and Daming, who have been emulating Daqin's war model, naturally do not understand such a profound war model.

"Listen, your mission must be to occupy this commanding height as soon as possible, and only by occupying it can our artillery exert its maximum combat effectiveness and at the same time suppress the opponent's artillery to the greatest extent. In order to achieve this goal, the firecracker troops must carefully cover the artillery, and at the same time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry must also contain the opponent's artillery array while wandering! "Lu Xiangsheng is not a fool, at least he still knows the most basic strategy of seizing the high ground.

According to the current battlefield situation, after the two sides have completed their formations, they will be separated by about 800 meters.

On the left side of the position, there is a high ground on the side of the Ming Dynasty, at least a little higher than other places, seize there, whether it is condescending shooting or shelling, the range can get a certain bonus. Lu Xiangsheng also saw that the opponent's artillery was farther away than his own side in terms of range, and the only thing he could expect was that the opponent used traditional solid bullets.

It's just that according to the latest news from Jinyiwei, Hou Jin bought a batch of flowering bombs from Pseudo Qin not long ago, and he wanted to use them in this battle.

According to Lu Xiangsheng's goal, he was to take the lead in occupying the high ground, and then gradually advance under the cover of artillery. At the same time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry also had to look for fighters to ensure that they could directly rush into the enemy's position, and use the three grenades on their bodies to directly destroy the opponent's artillery. Preferably, naturally, ruined the opponent's shells.

After all, these shells were bought, and Houjin could not produce them...... Although Daming can't produce it. No matter how much it can destroy, it can make Houjin use fewer flowering bullets in the next battle, and if it falls to the point of using solid bullets, then Houjin is not the opponent of Daming!

"Yes!" None of the people present were military idiots, and naturally they could see the importance of seizing the high ground.

"Deploy immediately, and go to battle at any time!" Lu Xiangsheng nodded and gave the final order.

At the same time, in the military camp of Houjin.

Dai Shan came back last night, and the first thing he wanted Huang Taiji to admit his mistake was. Huang Taiji couldn't suppress his brother too much, so he could only dismiss him from his military post first and let him give Dolgon a hand. Dolgon took the hot potato, weighed it carefully, and gave Daishan a cavalry of Oxel, equipped with sufficient firearms, including long and short guns and grenades.

In the end, he said a word: "Second brother, I won't talk more nonsense to you." You are my Manchurian warrior, but after all, you are a guilty body. Now I'm going to give you a chance to clear your name, but it's dangerous, do you dare to take it? ”

Dai Shan nodded, in fact, he really needed such an opportunity.

"Take this Niulu, pass through the opponent's defensive cord and launch an attack on the opponent's rear. It's a dangerous job, but if we succeed, we'll win the battle......" Dolgon said to him solemnly.

"Fourteenth brother, you don't need to say more. No matter how dangerous the mission, I will not back down! "Dai Shan has long been enlightened.

"Remember, you are our brother, and your life is no less inferior than anyone else's. If you can, I hope that even if all the troops you lead are depleted, you will be able to come back safely. Dorgon patted his second brother on the shoulder.

"I see!" Dai Shan nodded.

Looking at the figure of Dai Shan's departure, Dolgon was a little resentful that his starling was coming: TNND, you know that I will be a villain......

Arrange Daishan to do this, behind it is naturally Huang Taiji's meaning, and Dolgon can naturally understand it. It's just that Huang Taiji didn't say it explicitly now, but he arranged it like that, if there is really any accident, it will be his own business in the end.

"Our Manchus are good at cavalry archery, and our troops are the best cavalry archers. In the past, we used to use the bow to harvest the lives of the enemy, but now we can also change ammunition on the horse and use the fire gun to harvest the lives of the enemy. Our war is about moving, and if we move, the opponent's artillery array will lose its effect. Use your brains and let's win this battle together! "Dolgon returned to the Great Horde, and Huang Taiji was already making the final pre-war mobilization.

It can be heard that this is the mode of war that Houjin will implement.

It is not denied that this trick is very useful in plains, especially when there are no trenches and no wires. It's just that at present, there are old forests around, and the range of activity is actually very narrow, and the power of this move naturally decreases by 40%. It's just that if you purely play counter-shooting with the other side, with the distance between the two sides, I'm afraid that there will be no way to organize the artillery unit of the Ming army and climb that high ground.

It's not much higher than a flat bottom, and it's not even a mountain. But having occupied there, it is inevitable that the range of artillery can be increased to a certain extent.

For the sake of the lives of the Manchurian warriors, this highland, Houjin must be taken! Especially after taking this place, your own artillery will be able to condescend and directly shell the enemy's base camp. At least, one qiē is within the strike range of artillery!

At about ten o'clock in the morning, troops from both sides began to attack.

The Ming troops began to slowly advance with the artillery, and the musketeers carefully guarded the advance of the artillery; Houjin's troops rode on military horses for the first time and charged towards Daming at the first time.

The distance was shortened in an instant, but in exchange for the rain of bullets of the Ming army. Perhaps because he knew that it was the relationship between the national war, when he was trading with Daming, under the instruction of Zhang Hongbin, he gave Daming some smokeless gunpowder. Now in battle, the range has been greatly improved.

Compared with the gunpowder of Houjin, it is still the traditional black powder, and it is not even granular gunpowder or brown gunpowder. How powerful can gunpowder be made according to that backward formula?

As a result, the cavalry can obviously use momentum to improve the power of ammunition, but in real combat, the effective range is still not as long as that of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Da Ming began to shoot, Hou Jin's soldiers also began to shoot one after another. But the first few rows of soldiers had bought body armor from Zhang Hongbin. In the case of buckshot or mini bullet, it just hurts a little when hit on the body, unless it is hit in the face. Not to mention, the opponent launches outside the effective range, and the power is even more unsightly.

The result of the first round of shooting was that the first soldier in the Houjin was shot in an instant, and the shooting of the follow-up soldier only wounded one Ming soldier.

The second round of firing began, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and it took less than thirty seconds to go from 800 meters to 200 meters. At this distance, both sides chose the same weapon, which was a grenade.

On the one hand, it is a long-term training with a minimum throw of 50 meters; On the one hand, with the help of the horse's momentum, it is also possible to throw fifty meters.

The distance between the two sides ranged from 200 to 50 meters, but it took less than ten seconds. Before that, the front soldier fired another bullet, causing another group of casualties among the Houjin cavalry.

The grenade was thrown, and Da Ming, who didn't even know what a military academy was, still implemented the top-down command mode. The so-called squad leaders and platoon commanders below do not have command ability in many cases, and in fact they only rely on excellent tactical skills to get promoted, and they do not carry out systematic training at all. The Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty did not know that an advanced military establishment must be equipped with the most advanced command mode. I think it's okay to imitate it casually, but it's purely looking for abuse.

No, when the other party threw the grenade, if the squad leader below the Qin State had already begun to command the soldiers to avoid it. But at this moment, the squad leader and platoon commander of Daming are still stupidly waiting for their battle time.

So, grenades fell among them. Even if Houjin used a black powder grenade, the power of the explosion could not be underestimated.

But in the same way, Da Ming also threw a lot of grenades and popped them out, and made a certain prediction. However, the opponent's movement speed was beyond expectations, and the damage caused as a result was very small. The commanders of the Houjin obviously saw this as well, and seemed to see a new war model for the future Houjin in their hearts. However, as soon as he thought of this, the Niu Lu officer, who was in charge of playing the striker, was shot in the head.

It was none other than the Guanning Iron Cavalry who came to support him from afar, and the one who shot at this moment was Wu Sangui, the commander of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, himself.
