Section 448 Proud Iron Army

The Ming Emperor is also a human being, and he also has blood.

Just ask, if you are on the battlefield, facing the enemy army close at hand, those enemies who have made you carry a sea of blood and hatred for countless days and nights are in front of you. Not to mention the commander's order, even the holy decree will not be obeyed. Life doesn't matter at this time, I just want to use the sword in my hand to wash the last concern in my heart with the blood of the enemy.

The second telegram was not sent in the form of an official letter, but in a private message.

General Zhu cherishes, Zhu Qiyu is on it!

In just ten words, Zuo Feng's big tent knelt on the ground, and Zhu Qian, who had originally held the heart of exchanging his life for his life and dying, actually raised the long knife that he could no longer reach. shouted: "The general will order, even if there are millions of enemy troops, the left forward battalion will not abandon the camp, and the last person to fight to the death!" ”

5,000 men, 2,000 auxiliaries, 500 miscellaneous servants.

They come from different provinces, different provinces, different states. They also have different surnames and different stories. But the only thing they have in common is that they have participated in the battle of Tumubao, they have experienced life and death.

Twenty-four guns are set up behind the fence in the battalion, this is definitely the top big killer, all the gunners are kneeling next to the guns, quietly waiting for the moment when the gun commander announces the opening of fire, the big battle is imminent, the fight is no longer morale, but who is more stable. It's not just about pointing to the military formation, it's more about the heart.

Three thousand crossbows were also pushed out, and two thousand musketeers lined up.

In front of the formation, the horses were put on the sidelines, and then four rows of horse-reproaching pits were dug up to two feet deep and one foot wide. There are some spiky wooden stakes in the pit, this is not a mountain, but a desert, these wooden stakes have long been prepared in the army, and it took a lot of effort to pull them over, even in the eyes of the white crane. This is no longer needed for real firearms battles, but the army is still prepared.

None of the stations, either the transfer station or the terminals, were any longer down.

The people responsible for pedaling to generate electricity at the terminal were replaced by 30 people, and the copper cables were placed outside the tent, and then a small tent was built.

The timing is timed in the form of a copper basin with water drops, and the pedal rotates once every drop five times. There is a special person in charge of counting and observing the rhythm.

Many generals kept asking if there was a war or if there was a signal coming.

Not only the armies, but also the transit stations, there are many generals who are old enough to guard outside, just want to hear the result of this battle, this is the first battle of firearms against cold weapons. Not only in Daming, but also in Liaodong, the leaders of various tribes are also nervously guarding the periphery of the radio station.

The first telegram was openly transmitted to all the transit stations and terminals.

Not good news. It can even be said to be bad news!

The enemy who came was not 50,000, but above 100,000, absolutely above, and not claimed to be 100,000. The news connected with this news shocked Da Ming even more, and Yu Qian slammed the cup in his hand on the ground: "This official swears to ask for an explanation for this matter." ”

Not only Yu Qian was angry, but the Ming Emperor was already furious and ordered people to be arrested in the capital.

Why? For it was not the troops of the Varspurs who came. Rather, it was the force of the Uri, the elite camel cavalry that was the guarantee for crossing the desert. Only the elite camel cavalry of Yili can cross this desert, otherwise no matter how elite your troops are, it will be impossible to fight the sky.

The left army's big tent, the face of the main general of the left army was dark, and while scolding Yili for his strength, he arranged for the elite in his hands to go south in three batches to help immediately. kept muttering: "Two days, Lao Zhu, you only need to hold on for two days." After chanting, he shouted again: "Send a report to the left vanguard immediately, let them hold out for two days, the general has already sent heavy artillery to support." ”

Two days the infantry could arrive. Will the heavy artillery be able to arrive?

No one asks such boring questions, when fighting life and death, don't underestimate the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even if they rush overnight. Relying on manpower to pull it will also pull heavy artillery to the front of the formation.

Zhu Qian stood in front of the camp gate and slowly put down the binoculars in his hand.

"It's actually ......" Zhu Qian was surprised, he really didn't expect that the enemy army was not a tile spur. But what does it matter who the enemy is, the point at the moment is that the number of enemy troops is too many, far more than he imagined. Although he ordered the last man to fight to the death, he did not want to watch these people die.

"Prepare for battle!" Zhu Qian ordered.

The war drums were beaten, and the Ming army began to formally set up, and three arrows were shot out and landed on the ground between the two armies. The meaning of this arrow is to shoot a line, and if it crosses the line, it is considered hostile, and if it does not cross the line, you can send someone with status to come and talk. This is etiquette on the battlefield.

No matter how big the hatred is, Zhu Qian will not lose this rule.

A man wearing a golden helmet on the other side walked out with a horse, held a bow in his hand from behind, and shot a flagpole in front of the Ming Dynasty with a bow and arrow. This represents a declaration of war.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of Yexian." Zhu Qian sneered.

Fan Liang next to him was very surprised: "General, the second son also went to the east to let Duoyan Sanwei and Jurchen send troops, and his eldest son brought Yili's people over, so the first troops are there, it is estimated that this time it may be a big conspiracy." ”

Zhu Qian nodded: "You go and contact Lord Yu quickly, this matter is getting more and more difficult." ”

"Order!" Fan Liang knew that he was not needed in the current confrontation, and it was a big deal to exchange information quickly.

When Yu Qian received the telegram, he also felt a hint of conspiracy. The large map was immediately rolled out, and the marching staff and the generals began to analyze the actions of the first one. At the same time, the old generals of Wuyingdian were also excited, and began to continuously analyze all the information again.

All units and armies also received orders to be sent out, and all armies were ready to fight.

The first battle!

The enemy began to move forward slowly, the number was not large, only a formation of 3,000 people, this is also the standard way of playing, it is completely a tentative attack, the excellent war horse can jump over the one-zhang wide horse rejection pit, but there is a horse rejection pile behind the pit, so this first formation is completely used in the way of riding and shooting.

"General, please give the order!" A deputy general came to Zhu Qian.

Fighting a war is not a rush of battles, it is also hierarchical, rhythmic, and tactically arranged. Fight one after another, depending on the rhythm over there, the continuity of each formation is high, whoever has a fault, who will fall behind, unless the combat power is several times higher than the enemy's army.

The advantages and disadvantages at the moment seem obvious at first glance, one side has more than 100,000 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say 150,000.

On the other side, there are only 5,000 people, plus the non-combatants in the camp, giving you a chance to claim to be 10,000.

"Do you say that you are hiding smuggling to delay time, or do you want them to see the strength of our army?" Zhu Qian did not rush to order, and asked a question rhetorically. At the same time, the generals said that since they had decided to fight to the death, let the enemy see what we were afraid of.

"Okay, pass my general's order, the infantry in front of the formation retreat, two columns of heavy armored musketeers in front of the formation, and two columns of light armored muskets. Let's take a round first, and then look at it, all armies stick to their positions, and they must not act rashly without military orders. ”

The army began to move, and groups of men ran forward with new muskets in their hands.

Front boring reloading pistol!

In the eyes of the enemy, this is still the fire system of the Ming Dynasty, and it does not make them too afraid, this thing has limited lethality.

"One hundred steps, flying!" Someone in the enemy army began to order, first the cavalry commander who led the army shot an arrow to test the wind direction, wind power, distance, etc., and then led his 3,000 men to begin to accelerate around the circle, their task was to rush from the left side of the position to the right side of the position, and take advantage of the time to rush to the Ming camp twice, or even three salvos.

Da Ming's side also began to order.

"The gunners obey the order, add one shot per person, only need to add one shot. Shots were fired in the front, and orders were waited in the rear. Teams check their muskets and get ready to shoot! ”

War is not a game of timely strategy, not the kind of people who rush to the enemy line quickly and start slashing.

The real war is a slow life.

In ancient times, cold weapon wars and even a battle took a whole day.

The sound of the horn came out, and a mile to the left of the left position, the cavalry that was moving their horses in circles began to accelerate, divided into three layers and began to gallop a hundred paces in front of the Ming army.

"Squads, shoot in turn, the first team ......"

On the battlefield, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air in an instant, the sound of muskets, and the neighing of horses rose and fell one after another, but the only thing that could not be heard was the screams of people, because compared to the previous sounds, the screams of a person were too insignificant.

Bows and arrows were flying all over the sky, and lead bullets whistled out.

The first formation took about twenty minutes of modern time from the beginning of preparation, and the battle lasted only two minutes. This was originally the time when the Great Ming musket could fire four shots, or even five shots from skilled gunners. But Da Ming's side just fired one shot from the barrel and one more shot.

In front of the battle, hundreds of enemy cavalry were lying on the ground, some were still screaming, and many more were dead.

It's just a round of fighting, and a few hundred dead people are nothing at all.

There were also many people on the Ming side who fell, but the enemy did not see clearly, the fallen people only fell, they belonged to the arrows, but the arrows did not hurt them, the fall only created a false image for the enemy army, and some of us died. The fallen ones were dragged to the back, and then another group of people came up.

Those who were dragged to the back entered the camp, drank saliva, ate a piece of bread, and lined up in the camp, ready to come forward again to replenish it.

One of the team was smiling happily with a pat on his chest, and he had an arrow stuck in his body, right in the gap in the steel armor. He deliberately didn't remove the arrow, just to make the brothers happy in the back.

"This is really good, it is estimated that it will not be a problem for us to fight out 5,000 of them."

One of the lieutenant generals also said: "That's right, when they find out that we are constantly replenishing the number of people, and the number far exceeds the total number of people in this camp, it is estimated that they will understand." Hahaha! (To be continued......)

PS: It's a little late, sorry.
