"La-la-la-"

Captain Liu Haiyang hummed the theme song of "Pursuit" in his heart, and easily and freely caught up with the northbound barge tugboat.

The number of Haian Marine Corps led by Captain Wang Cheng and Captain Yue Xiao reached 5,000!

If you add the 5,000 people who helped transport the Lu'an brigade, and the number of sailors or logistics troops has reached 105/00.

The logistics items that Captain Yue Xiao brought with him when he came were mainly placed in the Tianjin Wei Army Camp, and this time they went into battle lightly, mainly transporting troops.

Judging from the situation of the Hai'an agent team in the capital, the Tatar bandit group is gathering troops, and the number has reached 50,000, of which the number of firearms battalions has reached 10,000, and the number of other armed forces with arquebuses is estimated to be about 20,000, 500 artillery pieces, and those that are being transported towards the Yongdingmen city wall - who said that the Tatar bandit group does not pay attention to firearms?!

It's just that after they occupied the country, in order to weaken the military power of the colony.

At that time, in the process of continuous fighting between the Tartar bandit group and the Ming army in Liaodong, they gradually realized the power of firearms in the hands of the Ming army, although the power of firearms in the hands of the Ming army, the rate of fire and the tactics that matched it were not good, but after all, firearms were the trend of world development.

In the process of fighting with the Ming army with firearms, the losses of the Tartar bandit group itself are not negligible, and the eldest brother Nurhachi is also a generation of heroes, so naturally he will not fail to see the advantages of firearms, so the Tatar bandit group quickly learned from the Ming army and began the application of firearms.

In the battle of the Hunhe River, due to the good fighting of the white pole soldiers, the initial attack of the Tartar bandit group was not successful, but the damage was not small, so Nurhachi urgently dispatched the city fire cannon in Shenyang City, and carried out artillery bombardment on the infantry phalanx of the white pole soldiers, causing the formation of the white pole soldiers to be chaotic, and then the whole army was annihilated.

After tasting the sweetness of firearms, the Tartar bandit group began to improve their firearms equipment and created firearms tactics that were completely different from those of the Ming army.

In 1631, the Tatar bandit group finally cast the Hongyi cannon under the supervision of Tong Yang, and used them in the battle of the Daling River in the same year, and then due to the surrender of the German army, not only did the Tatar bandit group obtain a large number of firearms, but also obtained the talents who had been personally taught artillery technology by the Portuguese military advisers.

The big boss Huang Taiji actually went out ten miles to the suburbs to greet Kong Youde's surrender, which shows that the Tatar bandit group attaches great importance to firearms.

It was also from the beginning of Huang Taiji that the Tartar bandit group attached great importance to the development and application of firearms, and in the Shunzhi era, it set up a cannon factory in the palace office, Jingshan and blacksmith camp, and the guns made were exclusively for the use of the royal family and the Manchurian Eight Banners, and a firearms battalion equipped with bird guns and artillery was also established.

Moreover, since the Han and Tang Security Brigade and the Zheng family's army now use firearms on a large scale, they attach more importance to it.

But why are the Tartar bandit groups not afraid of the iron cars of the security brigade? This was also what the Security Department of Hantang Group found out later when it investigated.

At this time, I have to mention the two famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

It may sound incredible, but it was the Ming Dynasty chariot warfare tactics established by these two men that ultimately made the Ming army tactically inferior to the Tartar bandit group.

The ultimate goal of the chariot warfare tactics of the two generals Qi and Yu was to turn the chariot into a city with feet, a horse without socks, and a mobile artillery, integrating the defensive toughness of the city, the mobility of the chariot loading, and the lethality of the artillery, so that it could attack, defend, and move.

It's a pity that the goal is ambitious, and the hope is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and the goal that the Ming army expects the tank to achieve will not be fully realized until the appearance of the tank!

Before this, the Ming army's chariots had neither mobility nor impact, and also had high requirements for the terrain, every time they encountered the enemy, they were not caught off guard, and they were defeated before they had time to arrange the time-consuming and laborious vehicle formation, or they could only wait for the enemy to attack in a rigid manner, and once the enemy opened an opening, then even the superior forces would still collapse the whole battalion.

And the car was lined up on the front line to resist the horse, but the car was carrying various types of artillery of the Ming army, so the artillery of the Ming army became the first line to resist the enemy, and the artillery was placed in the most dangerous place, so the fate of the Ming army's artillery can be imagined.

At that time, firearms were usually fired at the same time, and the line tactics did not seem to have a market in the Ming army.

The Ming army did have such a tactic as three-stage shooting, but hell, they did not promote it in Liaodong, and the Tatar bandit group was easily able to attract the first wave of firearms of the Ming army with special defensive firearms, and then use heavy cavalry and heavy infantry to quickly charge and melee with the Ming army, so that the Ming army's firearms could not play a role at all, thus destroying the Ming army in one fell swoop.

And even if the Ming Dynasty is lucky enough to repel the enemy army, it is impossible to gather and annihilate it, and the enemy army can soon make a comeback, the battle of the Daling River is the best example, with superior forces to repel the Tartar bandit group, but the Tartar bandit group immediately reorganized its forces, launched another attack, and finally broke through one and collapsed on the whole line.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a very strong cavalry team, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mongolia, relying on strong cavalry, but unfortunately the cavalry that could compete with the Guanwai tribes under the tactics of car warfare, gradually consumed their sharpness, and finally could not afford to fight.

Therefore, after the Tartar bandit group heard that the Han and Tang pirate groups had a large iron car that could be used on their own, their minds automatically flashed the chariot array of the Ming Dynasty - but empiricism kills people, can the Daming iron car and the Han and Tang iron cars be the same concept?!

Captain Wang Cheng said to Captain Yue Xiao: "I always feel uncomfortable not blowing up their gunpowder bureau——"

Captain Yue Xiao said with a smile: "It really makes the Security Department embarrassed, the Tartars were able to build the Gunpowder Bureau in the alley of the people's house, I really don't know what they think!" ”

Captain Wang Cheng said, "What can you think? How are they convenient for themselves, and how convenient is it for them to build a gunpowder bureau in an outer city? Convenient transportation! Even if something happens, it won't blow up their heads, and some minions will die - no, is it a title or a reward for a minion, just kill some fart people, what should it do? ”

Squadron Leader Yue Xiao said: "So, if it is blown up, there will be too many dead and injured people-"

The barge on which the two of them sat was the command center of this fleet, as evidenced by the Han and Tang flags raised high.

Therefore, Captain Liu Haiyang in the sky was easily found in the long fleet.

Captain Liu Haiyang tuned the walkie-talkie in his hand to Captain Wang Cheng's channel and said, "Captain Wang, please reply when you hear it, please reply when you hear it!" ”

Commanding the ship, after Squadron Leader Wang Cheng heard it, he immediately replied: "I heard it, how is it ahead?!" ”

Captain Liu Haiyang said: "There is not even a boat or people within 20 kilometers ahead, so let's sail with confidence." ”

Captain Wang Cheng knew in his heart that it had been several days, and no matter how stupid the Tartar bandit group was, they would not know it, not to mention that they could all send messengers.

The canal from Tianjin Wei to Tongzhou, called the North Canal, is about 180 kilometers long, and they expect to be able to reach it this afternoon.

Captain Wang Cheng knew that they would be separated from Tianjin Wei in a while, so he said: "Thank you Captain Liu for observing - show more to your friends in the army!" ”

Liu Haiyang looked ahead with a telescope again, and there was indeed nothing abnormal, he replied: "Oh, I'll take care of Lao Wang and them-"

Captain Liu Haiyang, a light pick, go back and look at the front of the Lu'an Brigade.

"La-la-la-"

They made their way along smoothly, and soon it was noon.

Captain Wang Cheng looked at his watch and thought, the Tartars are really good, I haven't seen a single boat on this road, and the order is forbidden.

He gave the order for the team to have lunch.

The two of them ate the same thing as several staff officers, and even, the entire Haian Brigade was the same.

Compressed biscuits with shredded mustard and boiled water—just then, their fleet sailed into a place called Willow Grove.

The revetment tree of this place is willow and it is still very dense.

Squadron Leader Wang Cheng, who had just finished eating, was drinking water from a military enamel jar by the celluloid window, looking at the scenery of the willow trees, which was really beautiful.

Just as he was about to sigh like a young man, a celluloid window suddenly shattered, and the shards burst onto his hat!

The hull of this command ship also sounded "Horn!" "Horn!" "Horn!" Sound!

Squadron Leader Wang Cheng didn't react for a while, and when he saw the branches of the weeping willows on the shore moving inexplicably, he realized that there was an enemy attack!

He hurriedly shouted: "There is an enemy attack!" Get down! Stay away from the window! ”

Those Ming staff officers reflexively squatted down—

Squadron Leader Yue Xiao and Squadron Leader Wang Cheng immediately picked up their AK47s, leaning against the window on the left and right, the hull was a foot thick, and the lead bullet could not penetrate it.

At this time, the two of them saw that many of the branches of the willow tree that were about to hang down to the water's edge had fallen to the water.

Ah, from there they shot here under the cover of willow branches.

The two looked at each other, and at this time they didn't shoot again, probably with a full-loading bullet.

The two of them pushed the window open, leaned in, and shot at the place!

It can only be approximate, the willow branches are too dense, and you can't see anyone inside!

The two of them swept wildly, knocking off more branches!

The neighing of horses and the screaming of people came from the willow grove!

Squadron Leader Wang Cheng immediately ordered the ship to be stopped and sent the Haian Marine Corps ashore!

At this time, several small boats were quickly hoisted down from the fleet, and dozens of Haian marines jumped up quickly, and they were only more than 30 meters away from the river bank.

The two men withdrew their eyes when they saw them safely ashore.

Squadron Leader Wang Cheng was scared for a moment, Nima, he was almost killed by the broken gun of this time and space!

It's embarrassing to spread it, and I can't stand it!

Then they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the other shore again—

When marching, they could be ambushed by the shore, they thought of this, but they did not expect that it would be so fast, and that the Tartars would dare to go so far!

Everyone has a feeling of being despised -
