Chapter 312: Ace vs. Ace
Longtuk was speechless, he knew that what Dai Shan said was right, for a long time, the Manchurian high-level was to use the victories over the Ming State again and again to create "Manchuria is not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 is invincible!" The myth.
This great martial might not only frightened the Han people in the south, the Mongols in the west, and the humble Goryeo sticks, but also the Haixi Jurchens, who were coerced by the Jianzhou people, and the Horqin people, the hardcore allies of the Qing Dynasty.
This time, the Qing Dynasty concentrated the main forces of the two banners, as well as a considerable number of Han troops and Mongolian soldiers, if they could not defeat the Ming army with about the same number of people in the field, the myth of the invincibility of the Qing Dynasty would be broken.
Such a consequence will lead to those Mongols and Goryeo people who are dependent on the Qing Dynasty to turn away from Germany, and even no longer optimistic about Jianzhou, and return to the arms of the Ming State, and the soldiers of the Ming State will also be afraid of the Qing Dynasty because of this battle, if so, how can Manchuria, which has only five or six hundred thousand bannermen, compete with the huge Ming State?
"Sons, let the lowly Southern Barbarians see the true strength of our Manchurians."
The heavy cavalry all bowed to Yintu with a long sword pointing to the sky, his eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and the five hundred heavily armed iron cavalry under his command were the power of the two red flags of the Prince of Li, imitating the iron floating slaughter of the Jin country.
Every soldier is a carefully selected and sharp man, and it is not an exaggeration to show their martial bravery by choosing one in a thousand.
Five hundred hoplite cavalry, like an iron wall, slowly approached the central army of the Jingbei Army, and the Han army under the Red Banner saw the hoplites approaching, and they gave way to both sides of the battle line.
Bai Yintu can be appointed by Dai Shan as the commander of the heavy cavalry, and he is naturally a fierce general who is well versed in battle formations.
Under his command, all the mounted iron cavalry did not run at extreme speed, but slowly approached the defense line of the Jingbei Army.
The main reason is to store horsepower, because the weight of the war horse is limited, and these heavy cavalry alone have more than 100 catties of armor and vest, and then counting the soldiers on the horse, the weight of the war horse will reach more than 250 catties, and it can only charge at a short distance.
"That's? Iron Rider of the Tartars? ”
Xu Yixian, who was closely following Li Xingzhi in Yuanrong's car, looked at the heavy cavalry line that appeared in the rear of the Qing army like a ghost, and his voice trembled a little.
"Inform Li Bangjie to let his iron men form a team, let Zack and Akma lead the Han army's green flag soldiers to reinforce the fifth town on the left flank, and tell Zhang Wu and Alan Chai to come and see him if they can't break through the right flank of Dongyu in the future."
At this stage of the battle, the soldiers on both sides have almost reached the limit of their physical strength, and the key depends on their own strength and endurance.
Originally, the white armor soldiers of the Qing army were dispatched, and Li Xingzhi thought that Dai Shan had used the last hole card, who would have thought that at the most critical moment, Dai Shan still held a trump card in his hand.
Of course, Dai Shan has a trump card, and Li Xingzhi also has a trump card that has not yet come out, that is, the heavy armored infantry carefully selected from Jinan and Leiden, according to Li Bangjie's standard for selecting soldiers, each of these soldiers can resist more than 200 catties of stone grinding, which is also the last hole card for Li Xingzhi to dare to fight with Dai Shan.
The flag behind Li Xingzhi shook again, and Li Bangjie, who had been sitting in the rear with his subordinates to rest, saw the big flag waved by the commanders in the Yuan Rong car.
"Brothers, armor! It's our turn! ”
Li Bangjie jumped up and gave a loud military order to go to war, and a thousand iron men put on the lined paper armor with the help of the soldiers and civilians, and then put on the iron armor with the equipment.
From the beginning of its formation, the iron soldiers have enjoyed the best treatment of the Jingbei Army, and the salaries of officers are all higher than those of other arms, and the soldiers also enjoy the salaries of the chiefs of other towns.
This also made the officers and soldiers of other towns red-eyed, in the Jingbei Army, Li Bangjie's iron soldiers were even nicknamed the Imperial Forest Army, saying that they were completely useless in addition to being the commander's personal guard, and the iron man commander had only a thousand people in his hands, all of whom received the same military salary as the town general.
Li Bangjie scoffed at the rumors in the army, because Li Xingzhi once told him personally that good steel should be used on the blade, and the role of ironclad soldiers was to deal with the elite existence of the Qing army.
Shandong is not short of horses, Li Xingzhi also wants to organize cavalry on a large scale, but considering that it takes a certain amount of time for the cavalry to be formed, and Shandong's war horses can only be armed with light cavalry because of their short stature, which is not enough to fight against the cavalry of Dongyu.
In order to deal with the white armor soldiers and heavy cavalry of the Qing army, Li Xingzhi had to follow the example of the Yuejia army of that year, and equipped infantry to deal with the iron cavalry of the Qing army.
"Brothers, usually the handsome is reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, eat and drink for us, now is the time for us to serve the handsome, as long as you win the Jiannu on the opposite side and break the city of Shenyang, Lao Tzu will ask the handsome to let you also play the woman of the Manchurian emperor."
Li Bangjie took the lead on the battlefield with a forty-pound mace, he was originally a thief in Qingzhou, because of the lustful Beiyuan Shandong Town Chief Soldier Ni Pet Zhao'an, he originally thought that he could only sleep in the kiln in this life, who would have thought that after following Li Dashuai, he could actually sleep with King De's side concubine, and the women of the Yansheng Princess, who were usually high, also slept a few.
Now the soldiers are in Liaodong, the marshal has personally promised, breaking the city of Shenyang, whoever has a great credit, the woman of the slave chief Hongtai will sleep first, and now the opportunity is in front of you, as long as the Manchurian soldiers on the opposite side are broken, Shenyang is a smooth road.
Li Bangjie squinted his eyes at the banner of the heavy iron cavalry in the rear of the Qing army, and the thoughts in his heart had drifted to Hai Lanzhu and Da Yu'er in the puppet Qing palace.
The commander even sent the treasured iron men to the battle formation, so this battle must have reached the most critical moment, and the soldiers of the new three towns and the third towns in the middle lane have moved out of the way.
Ace to ace, after the Qing army's heavy cavalry entered the battlefield, Li Xingzhi also played his hole cards, and now it depends on who can't support it first.
Of course, even the heavy cavalry of the Qing army also had to accept the attack of the artillery of the Jingbei army, and Li Rui, who commanded in the middle, also saw the appearance of the ironclad cavalry of the Qing army.
"Let all the artillery be replaced with solid bullets, and blow up the cavalry of the Qing army fiercely for Lao Tzu."
When the heavy cavalry entered the range of the artillery, that is, Bai Yintu commanded the heavy cavalry to accelerate, Li Rui calmly ordered the artillery to attack, he knew that the scattered bullets were not lethal to the heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, so he let the artillery directly use solid bullets.
The third town and the new third town had 100 small cannons of 600 jin and 800 jin, but due to the fierce fighting, more than 60 of them had red barrels and could no longer be loaded with cannons.
"Quick, quick, the Tartars are all cavalry, once they rush to the front of our army, our artillery will not work, quickly ignite Lao Tzu."
After Li Rui's military order was issued, Zhao Si, the artillery team, gave the order to attack.
