Chapter 109: Wind and Thunder on the Flat Ground (I)
"Report to the sir, the scout team has won a great victory, slaying ten enemies. The lowly is here to give the order! He Xian turned over and dismounted, his chest was tall, and his waist was on the board to report the results.
Chen Xie heard this loud voice like a bell, and he saw it in the telescope, so he naturally knew the results of the battle. At this moment, when I heard the report in person, there was a boiling of blood all over my body. What is Jiannu? In front of the modern army, every qiē is scum. The battle just now was actually very lucky, the Jiannu scouts were careless, and the second was that they didn't expect to be able to touch a transparent shield on the other side, and the scouts with superb archery skills were all aimed at people's vital points, which was a habit. As a result, this habit has hurt them.
"Congratulations on the victory in the first battle, go down and rest." Chen Xie waved his hand, and He Xian stood up again and led the horse down.
"Brothers, look at us now, I am in the Dengzhou regiment training camp, and I want to let Jiannu come and go! Flag! "Brush, a teenager is holding a red flag fluttering in the wind, the sun and moon are embroidered on the upper corner, and the white border is marked with five big black characters of "Dengzhou Regiment Training Camp"! There is a big "Chen" character in the middle.
Brush! Chen Xie drew his sword, held it at his waist, and slowly walked to the front of the team, behind him was a young flag bearer and two flag guards armed with rifles. At this time, Chen Xie stood at the front of the entire team, with two columns of infantry on the left, an artillery team on the right, and a trailing infantry team covering the artillery team. Farther to the right was the scout's fifty cavalry, Chen Xie's only fast-moving unit. There was also an infantry squad, a grenadier squad, dragged out the last ten meters.
This battlefield is quite good, and the Pingchuan River is under the city. No need to look for another battlefield. Doguna was also satisfied with this battlefield, taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry. As long as the front of the Ming army is penetrated. You can kill them all.
"Drums!" Chen Xie shouted! "Boom! Boom! Knock knock! The dull drum beat made an exhilarating rhythm, and at this time Chen Xie knew that he had no way out. Originally, he could have chosen not to be on the front line. But the regimental training camp is a new army, and Chen Xie has to do this, and he must lead by example to boost morale. The regimental training camp has the same requirements for every officer, standing on the front line.
"Enter!" Doguna also gave the order, and the distance between the two sides was no more than a kilometer at this time. Riding a horse is a matter of moments, but as an experienced commander, Doguna will not give orders to speed up, and the veterans of a hundred battles under his command also know what to do.
Lined up. Slowly rode forward, the archers riding lightly. The so-called Manchu cavalry tactics were not to kill the opponent with a bow and arrow on horseback as one might think, until they could no longer bear the casualties and collapsed. In the battle of the cold weapon era, the formation is very critical, and the role of the cavalry archer is more to disrupt the opponent's formation, and create conditions with the subsequent infantry impact. The Later Jin is stronger than the Ming army, but in fact, it is stronger than the people. Dressed in multiple armor and armed with heavy weapons such as maces, once the impact is launched, the blocker is invincible. The Ming army suffered. Usually, I can't eat enough, and when I fight, I can only mix a few full meals, and my strength is not enough. Three or five pounds of knives and guns can't be waved a few times, when the field battle. Can you count on them to hold off these heavily armored Houjin warriors?
In the ordinary Ming army, what can really fight is the general's family. These are private soldiers. The battle mainly relied on the family, because the number was small, once the family was defeated, the other soldiers would naturally be defeated, and then they would be chased and killed by the Houjin cavalry.
Duoguna was very willing to repeat such a process, especially when he saw clearly that the Ming army on the opposite side did not even have a single armor, his heart chuckled. But at this time, he had no choice. The opponent's front is very thin and should be rushed through. But I don't know how uneasy in my heart, in the scout contact battle just now, there are no ten elite warriors left. With such scouts, this army will not be too bad. But I don't understand why the other party put on such an unreasonable formation, just like a piece of paper, which feels like it will break when you stab it. Even more disturbing, I saw six cannons!
Weng Zhengqing held a telescope in his hand, this is a kind of telescope with a ruler, after learning how to use it very easily, this telescope has become Weng Zhengqing's heart and liver, and no one is allowed to touch it. Nervously observing Jiannu slowly approaching, Ding Zixiong subconsciously shouted: "900 meters, all artillery ready!" "800 meters!" After shouting, Weng Zhengqing pricked up his ears. Chen Xie's saber in front of him swung down vigorously. Weng Zhengqing heard a piercing horn sound of "woo", and instinctively roared: "Fire!" ”
Obviously having a range of 1,500 meters, but putting Jiannu at 800 meters before firing the cannon was not discovered by Chen Xie's conscience. The first is to strive for the first round of artillery fire to achieve results, and the second is to worry that the attack will be too hard, and these cavalry will turn around and run. The regimental training battalions are all infantry and can't catch up at all. So wait for your opponent to dismount and line up in a dense infantry formation. The armored slaves are in front, the heavily armored Jiannu is in the back, and there are dozens of archers in the front.
In fact, the second worry was redundant, and the Jiannu, who didn't put the Ming army in his eyes at all, thought of everything, but didn't expect to run away after a few shots. When Ningyuan was fought back then, there were still fewer cannons at the head of the city? Ants can be attached to artillery fire, let alone field battles.
But this time, they didn't know that the cannon on the opposite side was not a red-coat cannon, it was not a cast iron cannon that would take two minutes to continue with one shot, and it was not a cast iron cannon that would have to stop and cool down after firing seven or eight shots.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The six guns fired in turn, and the moment the lead ball, uh, lead ejected into the chamber, the soldier who didn't look at the results of the battle immediately hurriedly made the next move, poured vinegar into the barrel, extinguished the fire star, poked the mop into it, cleaned the chamber, fixed the charge bag, and the special lead ball of uniform caliber. Every step is practiced countless times, and every movement is an instinct that goes deep into the bone marrow. Even if they were a little nervous when they first went to the battlefield, everyone managed to achieve an orderly high speed, thirty seconds, and reload again.
Looking back at the results of this shelling, the cannonballs let go of the mounted archers in front, rushed to the back and began to dismount, and the infantry team in a dense formation was ready to approach the rear charge, and the shells from the rifled guns rotated at high speed and fell in the crowd, and after landing, the strong inertia continued to rush forward, ploughing the ground and chiseling out a blood groove about fifty meters long in the dense formation.
No matter how powerful the flesh and blood are, they are all tofu scum in front of the cannonballs, and Duoguna witnessed the scene of a warrior under his command raising a big shield in front of him, but the shield was smashed into a rotten watermelon after being shattered by the cannonball. In previous battles, this heavily armored warrior, with a shield in one hand and a thick-backed broadsword in the other, broke through into the enemy formation and was unstoppable. It was taken away like this today by a shell.
It was only a small fragment, and the shells that continued to rush forward took the feet of three soldiers who could not dodge, and the worst one had his right foot broken below the knee. But that's just the first shot, the second shot,...... Sixth gun. The armored minions in front of the infantry formation were extremely badly killed, and more than ten people fell to the ground.
The most unlucky one, his stomach was broken by a cannonball, his intestines flowed all over the ground and he didn't stop screaming. A heavily armored warrior stepped forward and raised his hand to help him end his pain.
The cavalry archer at the front, galloping on his horse, had approached 200 paces, began to pick up speed and stretch his bow. With just a few breaths, you can shoot an arrow into your opponent's chest, giving them a taste of death and screaming. The archers were very confident that as long as each person shot three or five of the best fighters, the Ming army's formation would loosen, and the infantry behind would easily break the enemy formation, and then it would be a never-ending pursuit.
"400 meters, 350 meters, 300 meters, 250 meters!" Observing the nervous number of hands, these people are all young offspring, they have studied in the martial arts hall for half a year, and they have never seen blood, how can they not be nervous when they see this scene? But no matter how valuable his life is, can he still have the life of a chief?
Look! The Divine Doctor stood in front of everyone, and the banner behind him was grinning in the north wind of the plains.
"Raise your gun! Aim! "When to shoot a gun, the power is in the hands of the captain. At this time, Chen Xie didn't have to do anything, just stand at the front and play a stake.
"Fire!" Ding Zixiong was the first to give the order to shoot, and the sound of fried beans-like gunshots followed by one command after another, making a sound like a storm hitting plantains.
Wind and thunder on the ground!
Uh, what is the long one that fell less than fifty meters away? Which bastard knocked out the strip too? Chen Xie has no time to hurt anymore! What's even more embarrassing, Chen Xie didn't see it because of the position he was standing, such as his legs were weak and he couldn't move, such as wrestling when changing lanes, or forgetting to charge because of nervousness, or loading more lead bullets, and so on. All in all, there are two goods, and there are quite a few. However, Chen Xie, who has always stood at the forefront, is undoubtedly the benchmark in the minds of all officers and soldiers, and this majestic back is the panacea for everyone's mood to calm down.
Although there were only two lines of infantry, only two volleys of platoon guns were fired. However, at a distance of 250 meters, the Mini rifle bullet was like a tornado, creating a large snow mist out of thin air, and more than 30 cavalry archers, but only two rounds of shooting, were already on horseback.
After the gunshots, the ground fell into a brief silence, and the Jiannu infantry team that was slowly approaching, as if blocked by an invisible wall, walked in front of the armored minions, looking at those masters who usually show off their might, as if they were smashed off their horses one by one by a giant hammer. Subconsciously stopped! Even so, there were stray bullets that burrowed into the crowd, and three or five unlucky people were hit, the most unlucky of them, the bullet got through the eye, and saw the column of blood flying out.
At this time, Duoguna realized that none of the most boastful post-gold marksmen in Niu Lu were left. And the distance they were hit was at least one hundred and fifty paces, and at this time there was no time to regret dismounting and walking.
"Dog minion, rush forward for me!" The stagnant armored minions were punched and kicked by the masters, and a few hesitant minions were beheaded on the spot. The shooters are gone, do the infantry continue to move forward? While Doguna was hesitating, the infantry was already trotting under the impetus of the warriors, trying to reduce the time it took to rush into the opponent's formation. (To be continued......)
