Chapter 469: As soon as the cannon sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels
"It's just too little silver! The sharpshooter and the gun king are all fed with silver! Chongzhen suddenly said again.
"As soon as the cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold!" Yuan Qishen nodded approvingly, and suddenly pointed to the oblique thorn and said, "Look, big handsome, there is a Jiannu there who sneakily wants to touch it!" ”
"How can the Jiannu of this era be both obscene and brave, unlike three hundred years later, who are both ignorant and fearless!" Chongzhen said angrily, "Are you sure you can snipe it?" ”
"Sniping" was not created out of thin air, after all, in the dozens of large and small wars before this, Jiannu hunted and killed many Ming generals in this way, but instead of muskets, they used arrows! Bow and arrow!
No matter how trained the Ming army, who were farming clans, it was impossible to completely surpass the innate and acquired advantages of the fishermen and hunters in the art of riding and archery.
But what about the control of firearms......
"Yes!" Yuan Qi thought secretly while agreeing, "Three hundred years later, will this war between Daming and Jiannu last for three hundred years?" Can't! Maybe, at least in recent years, there is no end to it, but I hate those bastards in the court, who actually treat the national war as a business, and earn the hard-earned money of the court with a clear conscience! ”
"Then what are you doing? Don't snipe yet! Chongzhen kicked Yuan Qi's calf and said.
"No!" Yuan Qi straightened his chest, and it happened that Jiannu secretly looked up and looked up, and he was shot in the head with a shot - Xipingbao was originally a rare highland at the eastern end of the Liaoxi Plain, and the difficulty of the highland is well known, and the position chosen by the pioneer Yang Guozhu is very beneficial to the Ming army, and Jiannu must attack on his back!
Dolgon was very resentful, because in such terrain, his elite iron cavalry could only exert less than half of its combat effectiveness, and the Ming army not only took advantage of the terrain, but also used a lot of intrigues.
finally rushed through the first position, that is, Zu Dale's firearm position, and drove the Ming dog all over the ground. But I thought that between the first position and the second position, there were still horse traps and stumbling horses.
With 500 cavalry, he drove the worship of thousands of armored slaves, and they fell into the trap one after another.
It stands to reason that the Jurchen warriors are brave cavalry on their horses, and they can fight fiercely when they get off their horses, but the pit is full of wooden spikes, and with bursts of screams, Aobai who entered the pit suddenly fell into a bitter battle.
What frightened this Jiannu warrior the most was that the cannonballs that had been whistling overhead had actually shortened their range and landed on top of his head.
Artillery fills the gap of muskets and satisfies all the needs of Aobai for the battlefield.
Seeing this, Dorgon saw that the path of the charge was full of obstacles, and he had to stop his horse.
There was no reason for him to let the flanks suffer the impact of the two Guanning iron cavalry, so he divided the 1,500 elite cavalry that had already been bombarded into two parts, one led by himself, and the other led by Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Ah Shan, and went forward.
"This king doesn't believe it, your cannons dare to shoot above the heads of friendly soldiers!"
"Guanning Iron Horse? Hum! In front of the king's white-armored cavalry, he was like a bunch of children who had just learned to walk! ”
"What about the superiority in numbers? What about the geographical advantage? Pierce it, crush it, and destroy it all! My white-armored athletes! "Dolgon's fresh clothes are angry, his sword is pointed forward, he is the first soldier, and he roars in the wind.
His subordinates are all bravely charged, indomitable, fearless.
As long as you defeat the flanks, you can bypass the trap-ridden position in front of you and rush to the ruins of Xiping Fort in a roundabout way.
"At that time, the firearms soldiers of the Ming Kingdom will only be slaughtered by the king's subordinates!"
Dorgon did not expect his anger to burn the battlefield, but only pinned his hopes on the sword in his hand.
Both were the greatest cavalry of their time, and their charges were so fast that both sides could only attack with bows and crossbows. Faced with the arrows that came like locusts, the forwards on both sides had their own countermeasures.
Most of them raise shields to defend the front door, and there are also those who rely on their superb riding skills and high strength, wielding weapons and knocking them.
Compared with the all-colored wolf-toothed arrows of the white-armored cavalry, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has more attack methods.
There are strong crossbows, there are bows and arrows, and there are firearms! The flint kind!
On the whole, Dolgon's cavalry was indeed more elite than the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
The harsh tribal slavery system allowed Houjin's materials to be infinitely concentrated on the top-level armed forces.
White-armored iron horsemen, war horses are mostly armored, and most of the cavalry wear cotton armor in order to reduce the weight of the war horses.
On the other hand, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, only the hundreds at the front were expanded by Yuan Chonghuan's heavy cavalry.
The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the cavalry battle is only a-for-tat way, and the fight is who is more brave, whose basic killing skills are more solid, and who is more resistant to beating. Who can kill and injure more enemies while resisting the beating.
Chongzhen once had an incisive summary: "Fighting a war is actually who can output more and who can fight longer!" Don't overemphasize the arrangement of troops, but the coordination between various weapons and arms must be appropriate! ”
"Dolgon is worthy of being an upstart on the battlefield, and his tactics are easy to follow the situation on the battlefield."
Seeing how quickly Dorgon had changed, Shigejin blurted out praise. He never hesitated to praise his enemies, and many times the better the enemy, the greater the blow to the enemy after being defeated by himself.
The improvement of their confidence and morale is also becoming more and more obvious.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty still needs to accumulate faith, just like in the past, when all countries came to court.
The battlefield was like fire, and Yuan Qi couldn't help but ask urgently: "Marshal, how to fight next?" ”
"Today, we still need to rely on the artillery, order the left and right artillery battalions and cavalry, and act according to the original plan!"
Chongzhen quickly ordered, and Yuan Qi immediately received the order: "No! ”
The close-fitting flagbearer played the flag backwards, and the flagbearer on the high platform immediately played a series of simple flags.
Dolgon, who was in the middle of the charge, actually had the kung fu to pay attention to the changes in the banner of the Ming army, I have to say that he was talented, he could understand the flag language somewhat, and he was shocked when he saw this scene: "How is it possible!" ”
As soon as his thoughts fell, he only heard that after withstanding a round of long-range attacks from each other, Guan Ning Tieqi on the opposite side was about to collide head-on with him, and actually stabbed obliquely, avoiding his sharpness by a fraction of a millimeter.
The heavy riders in the lead only rushed forward with their heads in order to pull more space for the rear team.
The rear team was relatively lightly armed, and while avoiding the Jiannu cavalry, they were able to quickly pull the trigger on their flanks.
The advantages of the strong crossbow and flint flint fire are fully reflected at this moment.
The white-armored cavalry also reacted quickly, subconsciously wanting to counterattack while receiving the attack, but it takes time to cast a bow and arrow, and second, it also needs space.
Unlike the crossbow firebolt, you can aim and shoot in any random position, and within such a distance, the aim step is completely negligible.
