Chapter 51: One Man is the Chinese Army (I)

The three-stage gun platoon tactic was actually invented by Mu Ying as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that firearms had not yet been used on a large scale at that time, so that in the late Ming Dynasty, this tactic has been forgotten in the long river of history and disappeared without a trace.

As a result, when facing the Houjin cavalry, there were always various defeats and miserabs of 'fire before the fire was fired, and the sword was already cutting the neck'.

What really made this tactic famous in the world was the improvement of the Swedes in the 'Thirty Years' War in Europe.

In fact, this tactic is worthless, and even simple enough for individuals to do.

It's all a matter of thinking.

However, it was this simple change of thinking that perfectly compensated for the slow rate of fire and poor accuracy of early firearms.

As long as the soldier is trained to be able to reload in battle, he can continue to raise his gun and shoot.

Just like the scene of the two armies facing each other under Xiangyang City at this time, as the Demon Sweeping Army rotated in front and back and continued to shoot and shoot, the elite soldiers of the Han Army who had been trained by Li Dexian for many years, even if they were not afraid of death, they were all good at fighting, but in the face of the death distance of more than ten steps in front of them, it was like arriving at the moat, and they could not step on it until death!

Bang, bang, bang-

In a crisp gunfire like popping beans, Li Dexian's Han army fell to the ground one after another like cutting wheat.

Even because Ding Ye frantically used a very deformable lead bullet, after a mortal body was shot, it would also bring a terrifying 'cavity effect'!

After many of Li Dexian's soldiers were shot, at first glance, there was only an inconspicuous blood hole in the wound, but in fact, if you turn over the soldier who had been killed directly, you can see that behind it, a huge flesh and blood gap was blown up!

"Rush! Rush! Rush to Lao Tzu! ”

Seeing the bloody rain suddenly set off in front of him, Li Dexian roared with blood-red eyes.

"Sons! As long as you rush through this section, the thief army is waiting for you to take it! ”

"Rush! Rush! The first person to break the enemy's formation will receive a bounty of fifty taels! Five good horses! Sheep fifty! Jin 100 household titles! ”

Under such a generous reward, those soldiers who should have taken the lead bravely had already been frightened by the tragic appearance of almost a mountain of corpses in front of them, and when they looked at each other, they all slowed down the pace of impact and began to stagnate.

Those who have a little more brains awake even hide behind people quietly.

And Li Dexian, who saw this situation, was full of anger in his heart.

"The court-martials are in! There are those who are staggered and retreat! No mercy! ”

In Li Dexian's view, no matter how heavy the casualties of the soldiers were, they were just some inconsequential mustards.

As long as he Li Dexian took the lead in breaking the formation and made the first contribution, then the high-ranking officials and the glory and wealth are not within reach?

Excessive casualties among the soldiers?

Again!

Anyway, in these years, there are many people who are forced to live and want to be a soldier to eat food, and don't have their brains on their belts to fight for a future!

……

At this time, Zhang Songxi, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, looked at the scene in front of the two armies, which was like a Shura field, and couldn't help but subconsciously hold his beard with his hands, and his mouth was full of emotion.

"I didn't expect this firearm to be so powerful...... Just ......"

Ding Ye chuckled, "Just what? ”

"It's just that this thing has been killed too much, I'm afraid it will hurt the heavens and the peace......"

Zhang Songxi said with a complicated expression.

When Ding Ye heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Daoyou or Poor Dao, which one do you choose to die?"

Zhang Songxi was stunned for a moment, and then tasted the meaning of Ding Ye's words.

As an outlier among the gentlemen in Wudang Mountain, Zhang Songxi pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that what he just said was indeed a little pedantic.

"Fellow Daoist? Poor road? Didn't the sect leader only worship the Buddha in the past? Why did you come up with the three clears? ”

Zhang Songxi said with a strange face.

Ding Ye smiled, and then said meaningfully, "Brother Songxi, don't you know that Buddha is the Tao?" ”

When Zhang Songxi heard this, he was immediately struck by lightning.

After savoring it carefully, he laughed loudly, and then solemnly bowed to Ding Ye Yingying, "The poor Dao has thanked the sect leader for the three Qingdao disciples in the world!" If it is in the future, the Dao Gate will cover the Lingshan Mountain! The sect leader's few words today should be the first credit! ”

And the 'Yuantong Grand Master', who did not have the slightest enlightenment of Buddhism's 'Erwuzai', not only accepted this worship without shame.

even said with a mysterious face, "I have an ancient story called Honghuang, if you are willing to listen to it, I will tell you it later......"

"But what is the origin of 'Buddha is the Tao'?" Zhang Songxi was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Not bad," Ding Ye nodded.

When Zhang Songxi heard this, his eyes were slightly red, he jumped down from his horse, and bowed to Ding Ye for the first time, "If this is the case, Songxi is willing to smear the liver and brain of the sect leader until death!" ”

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhang Songxi is so excited.

Since the spread of Buddhism to the East, over the years, it has been continuously localized in an inclusive manner.

Not only is it getting bigger and bigger, but it even overwhelms the Daomen derivative students, who are local sects.

Correcting the root cause, isn't it a loss on the basis of theory?

Not to mention anything else, just to say that this has always been the Buddha and the Tao dialectic, the Taoist sect has always lost more and won less, and over time, the believers will naturally be fewer.

At this time, Ding Ye's simple sentence of 'Buddha is the Tao' instantly raised the Dao Gate to the Liberation Gate from the theoretical root.

The entanglement of cause and effect, to put it bluntly, is just one sentence: 'No matter how good your Buddhism is, it is just a branch of my Taoism'.

……

Hearing Zhang Songxi's words full of affection, Ding Ye felt a chill, but his face was pleasant.

"Brother Songxi, please get up quickly, there is no need for such ...... between you and me"

After speaking, he looked at the battlefield that suddenly changed in the distance, "The battle is important now, and the rest, let's go back and talk about it." ”

When Zhang Songxi heard this, he reined in his mood.

turned to look solemnly at the battlefield over there, and said with a long gaze, "The Hugou Cavalry is out of battle......

Ding Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled, "I hope that the gift prepared for them by this seat is enough to surprise them." ”

……

Before a stick of incense.

Daru Huachi of Huguang Province looked at Li Dexian's army formation, which had countless casualties but was rarely able to advance an inch, and his originally white and tender face was blue and white, and it was extremely ugly.

"The thief has it in his hand...... Is that a firearm? ”

When the staff members around him heard this, they said respectfully, "Lord Hui, according to my subordinates, although those things are lighter, they should generally be firearms......

When Daru Huachi of Huguang Province heard this, he raised his hand and whipped it on the face of the staff, and said angrily.

"Thieves have made so many firearms! You've never heard of it! What the hell are you eating? ”

The staff member who was in charge of the news in Huguang was smacked on the face, but he didn't dare to snort in pain.

Hurriedly rushed down the horse, knelt on the ground and explained in a trembling voice, "If you want to come to the thief to create such a heavy weapon of soldiers, it is naturally very secretive, although your subordinates have already paid close attention to this Heavenly Dao Demon Sect...... But it's really ...... Haven't you heard of it? ”

Daru Huachi of Huguang Province whipped it with a whip again, and said coldly with a gloomy face, "Are you as stupid as you as an official?" ”

"Refined iron is a thing, the most important weapon of the country! It has always been controlled by my court! With such a large number of firearms, how much fine iron is needed? Didn't you really notice anything out of the ordinary? ”

"Or are you in cahoots with the mine superintendent! The thieves made the fine iron of the firearms from the hands of you? ”

Huguang is a place, and the quality of the products is excellent fine iron.

And with the degree of corruption in the Yuan Dynasty, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the connection between the top and bottom must be inevitable.

Therefore, it is natural that the staff has some 'business' dealings with those mine supervisors.

can hear his master's accusation like this, but the staff is extremely wronged in their hearts, "Complicit? Oh yes! Lao Tzu is just a handler! Did you take the big head yourself, didn't you have a B number in your heart? ”

It's just such a blatant slap in the face, but the staff never dares to say it, and just wants to find a reason to fool the past.

But Daru Huachi, who was in the middle of the rage, said mercilessly, "You still dare to quibble?!" Come! Drag this corrupt person down and behead him! With the heart of the army! ”

"In addition, after this quelling of the turmoil, this official will investigate to the end! Relevant people, regardless of officials and businessmen, all raided their families and exterminated their families! No toleration! ”

When the people around him heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and even many people's backs were already soaked.

And the two Mongolian soldiers who had nothing to do with themselves reminded them loudly.

"Your Excellency...... Li Dexian, that Han dog, seems to be unable to hold on, what should we do? Is it a temporary withdrawal of troops, or is it a ......"

At this time, after seeing the miserable appearance of Li Dexian's department, Bolt of the Mongolian army no longer had the previous arrogance and domineering, but secretly felt cold behind him.

"Well, it's good to let Li De go and try the next battle first, if Lao Tzu covers his head and bumps into it for a while, this head is bleeding and bleeding......

"Lao Tzu's cavalry is not the worthless Han dogs under Li Dexian, but they have always been very expensive......

And Daru Huachi in Nahuguang Province, only half of the battle was fought after hearing this, and the generals under him thought about retreating, and immediately turned red for a while, so that he could not bear his back.

After taking two deep tones, he said angrily, "Send troops to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion, and flee before defeat!" Dog stuff! Do you want this official to become the laughing stock of the imperial court? If there are those who retreat lightly, Hugh blames the official for being ruthless! ”

After saying that, he didn't care that he had never been in battle before, so he immediately ordered.

"Order Li Dexian's troops, let them do their best to hold off the thief army!"

"You two immediately lead the cavalry and attack from both sides of the thief army! If you can't break the enemy, this official will pluck your heads with his own hands! ”

Listening to the official's order, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

But the military law was like a mountain, and the butcher's knife hung around their necks, so the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow down to receive the order.

"The last general commands!"

On the other side, Li Dexian, who received the general's order, heard that the cavalry was about to go into battle, and he was afraid that he would be robbed of the enemy's first merit, so he immediately hurried.

"Tell your Excellency for me! The last general's department will soon be able to break through the thief army, but I beg the lord to give the last general a little more time! ”

It's just that the banner officer of the Mongolian army who came to give the order looked at Li Dexian, who was a member of the Han army, with disdain, and said coldly.

"Breaking the formation? Just rely on you shit? Hum! The military order has arrived, and Li Wanhu will do it himself! ”

After speaking, he beat the horse and left, not leaving Li De with any face.

Li Dexian, who knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the cavalry would go out of the battle, after a while of annoyance, he could only pray that he could make more contributions before the cavalry completely broke the formation.

So, he hurried to his subordinates and shouted.

"Rush! Rush to Lao Tzu! ”

When a loyal subordinate heard this, he immediately cried a little and said sadly.

"Archon! Can't rush anymore! The boys can't hold it anymore! Let them slow down! ”

Poof—

In a bright sword light, the head fell to the ground.

Li De stood with a knife in his hand, his eyes blood-red and said, "If there is a retreat, the one who will stop me from being glorious!" That's the end! ”
