Chapter 81: The Minions Have Begun to Become (5)
Looking at the horses of these steppe people, although they were fifty paces away, but listening to the sound of so many smoothbore rifles, although they were a little flustered, they did not appear to be out of control, it can be seen that they have heard the sound of firearms many times before. They have really seen firearms, and it stands to reason that they have really seen a hundred tigers running together on the battlefield and survived, such as people like Seven Victims of Tart Nayan, normally, they will not be mistaken.
After all, there are still many differences in the launch trajectory and sound of the primitive bazooka such as the Fire Gun and the Hundred Tiger Night Run. But it was dark night, and everything became distorted and confused, just as the Tartars retreated into the darkness, and the Thunder Academy had to temporarily cease fire and start resting, the night made each other hazy, so there were many more assumptions and illusions.
Or, it was the greed for the great wealth that the Ming people might have that made them lose their reason; Or the battle of Tumubao made them not afraid to use the lowest combat strength to figure out the Ming army, in short, the leaders of the three tribes soon reached a consensus, they blew the horn, and regrouped the team with the torches in the hands of the knights
In the temporary camp of the Ming people, the sound of suona and drums is also sounding, and it is impossible to clearly understand the opponent's movements in the dark night, and they are all predicting the opponent's behavior. Ding Yi held down Du Ziteng again and said to Wang Yue: "Order, let Ding Junyue be in charge of this battle, except for the seventh and eighth companies that serve as reserves, all other personnel, including the cavalry platoon, are under her command." Of course, it also includes you and Du Ziteng, at the end of this battle, you will serve as her operational staff officer, remember the staff duties I told you, you only provide plans and information to the commander. Don't make a decision. Needless to say, this is an order. Execute. ”
"Yui!" Wang Yue had no choice but to respond. However, Du Ziteng is much more free. Immediately the rest of the twelve cavalry were gathered together and went to the forward position. Ding Yi picked up his horse. Walking to the students of the two companies who were silently in the individual fortifications behind him, and sitting down behind a breastwork, the two company commanders and several platoon commanders had a lot to ask, but Dante shook it and said to him, "Think for yourself, you must always grow up......
This made the two company commanders feel extremely pressured, because they all heard Ding Yi's words just now, and now, they are the last strength. If Yu Junyue messes up. The enemy who rode a thousand or so relied on them. There were only two hundred of them, and it was clear that Ding Yi had no intention of intervening in command.
If they follow Ding Yi, they will be full of confidence, definitely.
If it was Ding Yi who was commanding those students at the front just now, then the casualties would definitely be greatly reduced.
As long as Ding Yi's voice sounds, everyone's hearts can be settled, and they can definitely complete every action that has been trained countless times in the first time; Dante was not going to do that. He needs leader-style worship, he needs faith, and he wants to lead these people to restart the whole nation, not to be a Chu overlord-like figure.
Cultivate a complete chain of command. In blood and fire, find every bit of light, no matter the cost.
"Commander of the Seventh Company. If you lead these two hundred, you are not sure? Defeat those Tartars? Ding Yi asked casually.
The commander of the seventh company who was asked by him was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"What about you, Commander of the Eighth Company? Do you think you'll be more sure than the Seventh Company Commander? Ding Yi spoke again.
This is not the time to show determination. This is the life of two hundred classmates, the eighth company commander hesitated, if it was really Ding Junyue who messed up, not only to deal with thousands of Tartars, but also to deal with the retreating classmates, he thought for a long time, before he spoke: "Mr. Hui's words, the student doesn't know where the seventh company commander's grasp comes from, if the student commands, then take a row of forty-eight people in each column, divided into six columns to meet the enemy in the southwest of the camp, please lead the remaining two rows to collect the rout at the southwest gorge of the array...... "He entered the role very quickly, and even Ding Yi was used by him."
I heard him say again: "If the army can fight after the rout, then the array will be behind; If they can't fight, they will retreat into the gorge and enter the iron gate...... I move to the mouth of the gorge, and the Tartars must first enter the camp to take wealth and grain, etc., and there is this gap, after the gentleman leads the people into the customs, he should be able to reorganize the queue to receive us and others to enter the customs......"
Ding Yi nodded when he heard this, although there are many details that are too rough, but they are also clearly organized, the key is that the self-awareness of the troops after the break is very clear, and they do not have the intention of fighting bravely, it seems that there is still some overall situation. You know, this is a fourteen-year-old boy, and it's good to think of that.
"Seventh Company Commander, tell me about your strategy."
"It won't be wrong for Mr. to teach the squad leader to take over the command, I just know that Mr. is not at fault...... If squad leader Ding is really defeated, there is nothing to say, I eat Mr.'s food, wear Mr.'s clothes, and lead the monthly silver of the student, but my father is here, the family is poor, and there are seven brothers and eleven sisters, and I can't take care of me like Mr...... I worked hard to kill the Tartars, and let Mr. Changbao of the Eighth Company enter the customs, as long as Mr. is good, I will wait for this life, repay Mr.'s affection, just ask for the next life to vote for Mr. He was so naïve that he said such a thing, and he said it as plain as water.
It's just that in the surrounding fortifications, other students responded: "That's it, I'll repay my husband for this life!" "Mr. is well, it's a sunny day!" "A teacher for one day and a father for life!" "All of a sudden, the battle plan became like this.
Ding Yi had no choice but to keep them silent, but said to the commander of the eighth company: "Yang Shousui, you are very good, so you will command the reserves." As he spoke, he made a gesture to the four cavalrymen waiting on the side, but one of them rode to the forward position to convey the news to Ding Junyue. Ding Yi looked at the commander of the seventh company and said to him, "Wu Quanyi, after you go back, you will be locked up for three days." Only one heart of blood is brave, it is not good, you have to be responsible for the lives of these two hundred fellow disciples, An Neng is not afraid of death? ”
Wu Quanyi, the commander of the seventh company, smiled honestly and said, "Yes, the disciple will go back to receive the punishment." ”
It's just that for Ding Yi, these two are good, one is strategic; One is that he has loyalty and can be promoted as a personal guard. It can be regarded as the harvest of this battle, of course, it depends on whether they do what they say when they are facing the enemy, Ding Junyue's platoon commander, Ding Yi was also very optimistic about him, who knew that the battle would end like this? This thing, no matter how much psychological evaluation, how to test, how to train, can not compare, the verification of real knives and real guns in blood and fire, is more real.
But this is cruel, but Ding Yi is ready to bear this qiē outcome.
After a short break, the two sides began a new round of high-intensity showdown.
What is the so-called short, short to what is dù? The scorching autumn wind outside the gate has not completely blown away the black powder smoke just now.
And the high intensity is that there is no defender.
Duels, usually you attack and defend, you advance and I retreat.
Usually, the duel with the grassland people is that the grassland people attack and the Chinese people defend.
But after the command came into the hands of Ding Junyue, it began to change.
She chose to attack, the drummers of each platoon were beating the drum vigorously, and the three columns of a phalanx of about 100 people each, all the students, all wore the white Confucian shirts that were originally covered outside the chicken breastplate, revealing the bright red inside, like fire, like blood, in this dark night, the flame that wanted to ignite the grassland.
The cavalry on the steppe also blew their horns, howling and galloping with torches held high.
They didn't want to dwell on it anymore, thinking that this was a battle that should end immediately, and those who seemed to them so cowardly, who had been screaming and screaming and even crying before. They don't have to pull the reins at all, warriors who grew up on horseback, with their legs are enough to steer a war horse.
With a torch held high in one hand and a scimitar in the other, the descendants of the Immortal Heavens, the heirs of the blue wolf, will tear apart every prey they fancie, whether it is a lion, tiger or bear!
Ding Yi listened to the drumbeat, nodded, and didn't say anything.
Wu Quanyi and Yang Shou's faces turned pale, because they felt that maybe the next moment, it would really be up to them to save this qiē. The two issued the same order almost simultaneously: "For the last time, check the ammunition!" Report the number after the completion of each shift! "This is the last preparation before the battle.
Because they and Ding Junyue learned military knowledge under the same kind of discipline, they knew very well what she was going to do.
Sure enough, between the drums, the neat shouts immediately came and overwhelmed the howls of the steppe people.
"Grenadier! Advance! Grenadier! Advance! ”
Red is not good at concealment, and even if you are a deserter, you will be very easily detected by the enemy.
At this point, Ding repeatedly told them in class that the red jacket of the Ming army was very unscientific, just like the tattoos of the Song Dynasty, and the nature of vigilance for the soldiers - of course, Ming Shang Huode is the official statement, but from the perspective of a soldier, Ding Yi has his own interpretation of this.
Therefore, if you wear a robe and face the enemy in red, it is a battle to the death, the determination to fight to the death, and you do not consider retreating, because there is no way back.
"First column, ready, put!" Ding Junyue's hoarse voice, with a high fighting spirit and a strong broken voice.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" More than 100 front-loading smoothbore guns began firing at the same time.
"Second column, take a step forward, prepare, put!" The sound of connected firing covered the small battlefield for a while.
When the third column was also fired, the battlefield instantly fell silent, and three hundred rounds of projectiles, facing the opponent who charged in a dense array of sharp arrows, harvested the lives of at least sixty or seventy steppe cavalrymen. The steppe people hesitated, because this casualty, combined with the previous casualty figures, was slowly approaching the bottom line of their psychological endurance.
And Ding Junyue did not hesitate, from the moment she ordered to wear the outer robe, she did not hesitate anymore: "All of them are there, bayonet!" (To be continued......)
