Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the late autumn of 1342 AD, Cheng Pan's military campaign went very smoothly. Everywhere the army went, all the landlords' compounds were breached. Cheng Pan's ** silk completely counterattacked the local tyrant once in this time and space.
The large landlords whose homes were raided in these places were all clansmen. The big landlord and the patriarch are often one person, and they still have some power to control the place. The landlord's compound is actually the clan mansion, and the entire mansion is surrounded by a stone wall, and the patriarch orders the power of the whole clan to run rampant in the place. Often, there are hundreds of thugs. In the era of the Chinese emperors, imperial power could not penetrate the countryside. Large clans are always stretched to the limit of the family, and some families are no different from the imperial power when they are strong.
It's a pity that these clans can't be used anymore, and they have encountered natural enemies that should have appeared hundreds of years later. The militia brigade, with yeoman farmers as the main body, began to fight local tyrants and divide the land. In fact, the fundamental reason why these big landowners are unlucky in this time and space is that they are too smart. If Cheng Pan, a traverser, is very smart and a good person, Cheng Pan will fully borrow the power of the landlord class, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang also relied on the Jiangnan landlord class to win the Kyushu artifact. Drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to rule the world, this poem was written by this vulgar guy Ito Hirobumi. But yes, the ambition of the man is just right. But Cheng Pan is just a small salesman in a public institution, only a university degree, and has worked hard to be a scumbag under the cruel college entrance examination system for 2o years, and has no time to communicate with people for a long time, and it is impossible for public institutions to have workplace chaos like enterprises. Cheng Pan, an honest doll, has no way to grasp the fierce battles between people. Cheng Pan has never been a leader and cannot grasp the psychological conditions of his subordinates.
In other words, Cheng Pan lacks emotional intelligence. There is no certainty that the people who came out of the ancient landlord class will be dealt with. The biggest advantage of being a traverser is the foresight, and Cheng Pan's exhibition will definitely use the previous knowledge to change. China's reform was not a bloody storm, and the reform will certainly shake the cake of the old vested interests. Cheng Pan has read a lot of time-traveling novels, and those protagonists are either special forces or underworld bosses, and no matter how bad they are, they are also business managers. As a semi-handicapped person with emotional intelligence, Cheng Pan has never learned the skills of the protagonists to use all kinds of ingenious means to make those squires who only know how to collect rents in Tuntian give up land to invest in industry, so that the established country can enter capitalism.
Well, if you can't play with smart landlords, you will mingle with the peasants, and Cheng Pan believes that his IQ will never be deceived by those farmers who dig from the fields. Thanks to TG for setting up modern Chinese history and various political courses, Cheng Pan has always thought that TG opened these courses to show off the success of his rebellion. Now Cheng Pan can't wait to bring TG's party history over. This is simply the Bible of rebellion for small citizens like us.
Now the smart people in Cheng Pan's eyes are suffering an unprecedented catastrophe. The landlords' mansions could not stop the attack of the militia brigade at all. The sturdy stone walls in the countryside are decorations, the militia brigade did not use artillery, and Cheng Pan does not have so much gunpowder now. It was the trebuchet that dealt with the landlord's mansion. This kind of trebuchet is a counterweight trebuchet, Cheng Pan heard about it from an online article, and specially checked the structure on the Internet, and the range is very long. Cheng Pan and the carpenters smashed this thing out and threw a spherical iron box wrapped in charcoal at the landlord's compound, and under the blow of this improvised incendiary bomb, the clan that had originally wanted to defend it quickly collapsed. It's easy.
But Cheng Pan's land grabbing this time involves too wide of interests. The landlords near Jiangnan were not only Han Chinese. A large number of Mongolian landlords also suffered. These Mongols have a wide variety of networks. Soon a militia regiment was marching with joy while encountering a cavalry brigade of about five hundred men.
Na Risong was a cavalry commander of the Tanma Red Army, which belonged to the local Zhenshu Army, and the Tanma Red Army was originally stationed in a strategic place and would not go out of the city lightly. But Cheng Pan and the others were too arrogant, and they directly made trouble near Wuhu City. Narisong's family also owns a lot of land in the local area, and Cheng Pan, a guy with a tendon in his head, didn't give any special treatment orders, and chopped up Narisong's family together.
Wuhu City was a fortress during the Yuan Dynasty's destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the resistance was fierce at that time. In the end, the whole Wuhu city was slaughtered, and now it is rebuilt on the original site, and the population has recovered to 50,000 people. Even his family learned to walk with crabs. But after a morning's hard work, his family was completely destroyed, and we won't mention what kind of face and expression Narisong had after getting the news. Without saying a word, he went out of the city with a thousand cavalry troops who were not satisfied.
The name of the commander of the militia regiment facing this 500-man cavalry team is He Cheng, he is a native of Xiaohuangzhou, he has been training with Cheng Pan for two years, and he has always achieved good results in tactical confrontation, but this is the first time he has become a commander. He now has a handful of sweat in his hands, it's not that the enemy is too strong. In He Cheng's eyes, the cavalry team on the opposite side must have not been trained for a long time, not only did the formation walk loosely, but most of the horses ran slowly, and many of the people who rode on the horse were fat. He Cheng was worried about the recruits under his command, none of them had seen blood, and he was afraid that the fierce battle would not be able to restrain them. And Cheng Pan was exactly the same as He Cheng was worried about, after getting the scout's report, he left 500 people to guard the artillery, and took the firearms corps to support quickly.
That Risong couldn't advance or retreat now, and the gang of thieves on the opposite side set up a large array of hedgehogs, with spear heads lined up outside, and the whole large array formed a square. I don't know where to start, not to mention that these Mongolian soldiers have the courage to charge directly, even the remaining horses definitely don't have the courage to run against the spear phalanx, of course, you can also blindfold the horse with a black cloth to let it charge, but unfortunately only specially trained war horses can do this. If you suddenly cover its field of vision, the horse will slowly descend lightly, and it is very likely that the horse will suddenly lose its front hooves and fall with the horse. Tanma Chijun is the overlord in the city, who has nothing to practice this, and he is uncomfortable with himself. The current Mongolian cavalry is far from the combat effectiveness of the founding of the country, and people disgrace their ancestors, and so do horses.
Since he didn't dare to charge, he had to ride and shoot, and the people on the opposite side were so densely gathered, although the riding and shooting were not accurate, but they could always shoot people. Five horsemen came on horseback and fired arrows at the spearmen, which fell into the formation and caused a small confusion. When the arrows came, the spear shook and the barrel of the gun was knocked down, but two of the swords still hit the man, one arrow, one of them in the chest was blocked by a simple iron bulletproof suit, and the other arrow hit the arm of the other. The wounded man immediately cried out. The people next to him also whispered in horror. With a "snap" sound, He Cheng took out his pistol and fired a shot at the muzzle of the gun in the direction of chaos, and suddenly fell silent. He Cheng shouted: "This is the army, this is the battlefield, whoever is violating discipline, I will shoot him to death." This is just a warning. "The militia remembered battlefield discipline and battlefield law. Under the threat of the muzzle, quiet down. He Cheng saw that his threat was effective, and then said comfortingly: "There are only five hundred people on the opposite side, each person shoots at most three arrows, and the shoulders are weak, and only half of these 15oo arrows can hit you, and among these 75o arrows, half of them will hit your armor, and only half of them, that is, 37o arrows, will give you substantial damage, and only one-tenth of these arrows will hit your fatal neck, so the arrows on the opposite side will only kill us 4o people at most, if you lower your head and lean forward, This number will be less. But if everyone's formation loosens and breaks up, at least half of the people here will be hacked to death, can you run on two legs over four legs. ”
After He Cheng's explanation, the entire large array quieted down, and in order to save his life, the large array was strictly maintained. He Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the two No. 1 guns had been pushed to the front of the formation. As early as when the cavalry from the opposite side arrived, He Chengcheng had already ordered the preparation of artillery. Now in front of the battle, there was a line of pikemen blocking the view from the opposite side. The artillery team was fixing the gun carriages of two cannons with sacks. The militiamen began to get excited when they saw that they were finally going to use the cannon weapon. Along the way, I only saw the erection of catapults, and the artillery has not moved, and now it is finally going to be used.
Nari Song saw that the trial of the mounted archery team had an effect, and he felt that he was really a teenager with a mechanism. Decided to play a big game, sent a hundred archers to fight, smashed the hedgehog array in front of him, and when a hundred cavalry rushed over, the spearmen who were blocking in front quickly withdrew to reveal the muzzles of two guns. The cavalry that charged were all dirt buns, and they didn't recognize the advanced weapons of the cannon. That day Song was seen when he went to Shouchun to report on his work, but the vision was blocked by the charging cavalry, and the two muzzles of the black hole were inconspicuous, and the artillery captain gave the two guns a shotgun, this kind of shotgun is in many iron pellets with cast iron sheets into a very thin barrel container, after the shot the container bursts, the inside or iron projectiles will form a large area of scattering, extremely powerful. Since the shotgun exploded and the internal iron shot flew apart, its range was only 4o to 3oo meters. This small iron egg is made from drops of molten iron into cold water, and the yield is very large. After adjusting the protractor, the artillery captain kept looking at the cavalry galloping on the opposite side, and at the same time swept the spearmen on both sides who were looking at the cannon with curious eyes.
The time was almost up, the artillery captain shouted "put", and the gunner inserted the lit incense into the gun body and ignited it, with a loud bang. Pity the spearmen with guns in both hands, their ears were shaken with a tinnitus. What the artillerymen did to their own side was a prank, and what they did to the enemy was a tragedy.
The cavalry rushing from the opposite side was about to reach the distance that their bows and arrows could kill, when they saw a yellow light in front of them, and then a black swarm of insects rushed towards them, and then there was no more. Not even the sound of artillery was heard. This artillery bombardment sent a barrage that swept through the charging cavalry group, 23 people were killed on the spot with men and horses, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were either shot by people or horses, anyway, they were suddenly interrupted in the high charge, and they were crippled.
The loud noise caused a commotion among the charging horses, and the cavalry charging in the rear did not express their sorrow for the tragedy of their own people, but became confused. The artillery captain didn't give them a chance, and the second gun went off, and a whole barrage washed over. This will not be blocked by the meat shield in front, and the second half of the cavalry, after a blow, will go again.
After firing these two shots, the artillery captain urged his men to clean the chambers of the guns and prepare for another round. Unfortunately, the other side did not give them such a chance, and the twenty or so surviving people patted their mounts and ran back much faster than when they came. Men and horses with broken legs and bullets on the ground were groaning.
That day Song was so confused by this accident that he didn't react until the defeated soldiers ran back: "Artillery, this is artillery, where did these anti-thieves get a militaristic weapon."
At this time, He Cheng appeared surrounded by a group of people, and said to the artillery captain: "Old Xu, give two solid bullets to the fat man who looks like a head." The artillery captain said, "Okay, sir, but a target as small as 25o meters can't be 100% accurate." He Cheng said: "You fight, it doesn't matter if you hit or not."
That day Song had not recovered from the blow of losing a hundred-man team, and it was two more yellow dots of light flashing on the opposite side. Two black dots approached from the sky. That day Song secretly screamed badly, and on the natural side of his body, a black child's head the same size thing flew past his left side, and the other same thing happened to hit the head of the soldier next to him, and the flying bone slag instantly blinded his eyes, a few tenths of a second later. That day, Himatsu felt that his left hand was unconscious, and it turned out that the solid bullet flying from his left side did not hurt him, but took away one of his arms. At this time, Risong, who was blind in one eye and missing a forearm, shouted in severe pain and fainted. The pro-soldiers next to them hurriedly hugged their Qianhu and carried them away.
Artillery captain Lao Xu said to He Cheng: "Sir, it seems that you have hit." He Cheng said: "I saw it, but it doesn't seem to be dead, if it dies, the other side shouldn't be like this, it should be dispersed."
After a while, the cavalry withdrew, and He Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. The squad leader below asked, "What should I do next, sir, do you want to pursue it?" He Cheng said: "Do you think that your subordinates are the village protection team that trains and runs every day?" Just these farmers, still chasing. Rest in place for half an hour, and then go to the next local tyrant. ”
This encounter tempered the militiaman's mentality in encountering the enemy, and more importantly, a group of commanders received actual combat training.
