Chapter Eighty-Three: The Afterglow of Cold

The main goal of the Daomen is to eliminate the living forces of the Zun Zheng faction as much as possible, and the focus is on sending reinforcements, but the Zun Zheng faction is not stupid, if they can't give enough pressure, the reinforcements of the Zun Zheng faction will not try to attack the Daomen head-on.

In other words, the situation in Ise Jingu is becoming more and more critical, and the more the reinforcements sent by the Zun Zheng will desperately rescue, so the Daomen in the frontal battlefield of Ise is not a feint, but also a real attack, without sloppiness and deception.

In the battle of victory, there is no one who will come to the front of the battle with two generals from each faction, but do everything, so on the battlefield of Ise, the most effective thing is not a certain celestial, but hundreds of artillery, first covered with a storm of steel, and then the Fangshi battalion is used as a supplement during the artillery interval, and after the opponent is disabled, the army advances, mainly with invulnerable Xuanjia heavy cavalry, with various foot soldiers.

For the Dao Langshi, although the sword in his hand is sharp, he can't see where the enemy is, and it is useless. By the time he really saw his opponent, his side had already suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to have the strength to fight again.

This kind of battle is very simple to fight, and the requirements for the people who command the operation are not high, and the requirements for the underlying strength and logistical supply are very high, and the key is to spend a lot of money. That is, Daomen can have such a skill, in comparison, Fenglinzhou is only a link in the trade chain, but Daomen has mastered the entire trade chain.

On the other side, the Zun faction organized the largest reinforcements, nearly 20,000 elite cavalry and more than 100 banners, to rush to the aid of Ise.

On the Daomen side, Ding Weiling was in charge of commanding, with a force of 8,000 troops, to block this elite reinforcement of the Zun Zheng faction.

At this time, in the line of sight of Ding Weilingguan's clairvoyant mirror, the cavalry of the Zun Sect launched an almost suicidal charge.

This is the last afterglow of cold weapons, and it is also the sad song of an era.

With Ding Weiling's order, the neatly arranged black-clothed men began to shoot in turn. In an instant, the charging cavalry seemed to have encountered an invisible wall, and the cavalry at the forefront was directly hit through the body and iron armor by the projectile, and fell from the horse. Viewed from above, the charging cavalry fell like mowing grass, as if there was an invisible tripwire that crossed the entire battlefield, and any cavalry who tried to cross it would fall directly to the ground.

The blood mist was filled, and the corpses were everywhere.

The black-clothed man on the side of the Daomen is holding a firecracker, divided into three layers, the outermost layer fires the firearm first, then retreats, and then the second and third layers continue to fire, when the second and third layers are fired, the first layer is loaded with projectiles and gunpowder, and the third layer takes turns firing without the slightest stop.

This is an ancient tactic, placing the fire gun into three rows, in the array, forward and backward, and the second line follows; and do not retreat, the second line retreats, and the three lines follow.

With the current technology of the Daomen, it is not that it is impossible to develop the continuous fire gun, but it is difficult to ensure the power of the continuous fire gun, and it is impossible to ensure the penetration of armor and martial arts, or to break the body talisman, true qi and other means, so the long gun of the Daomen is still a single shot. This requires reload time, so the tactic of three-stage shooting is difficult to obsolete, and it is still practical.

On this basis, Daomen can only further simplify the process of loading ammunition with firearms, increase the speed of shooting, and strive to inflict greater damage before the cavalry rushes into formation, and at the same time it is equipped with a certain number of handcuffs, only one round of ammunition, and when shooting face-to-face in a melee, it can almost be hit. The only drawback is that it costs a lot, and every time a war starts, the amount of ammunition consumed alone is an extremely staggering figure.

After five full rounds of volleys, the cavalry troops of the Zun Zheng faction suffered heavy losses, but they finally approached the formation of the Daomen.

At this time, the biggest shortcoming of the fire gun is revealed, that is, it is weak in melee combat, and the fire gun is used in close combat, and it is not much stronger than the fire stick.

The black-clothed man with a firearm began to retreat, and the spirit officer holding a tall shield stepped forward, forming a shield wall, and another spirit officer holding a spear stabbed forward from the gap between the shields, forming a forest of spears.

The cavalry crashed into the shield wall and were stabbed through the spears and horses.

The two armies were glued together and began to fight in close quarters, and the sound of metal clash and screams of fighting continued to be heard.

I have to admit that the cavalry of the Zun Zheng faction are all brave and good at fighting, and the previous volley of firearms has made them understand that if not

If you can rush to win, you will only be slowly ground to death by the Daomen people with firearms, so you are also fighting to the death, and you have no intention of retreating.

The people and horses on both sides were mixed together, the blades collided, blood splashed everywhere, and people kept falling to the ground, saying that it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which was not an exaggeration at all.

In the script, there is often a scene where the generals of the two armies fight in front of the battle, but the two armies are in a serious battle, and there is no one where the generals of the two sides go head-to-head, and they are all in command. Sometimes, however, generals take pride in being able to charge into battle in person, that is, to lead their soldiers into battle, which can greatly boost morale and show their bravery.

It stands to reason that the main general will personally fall into battle is like the emperor's personal expedition, and he must be dissuaded by his subordinates, but the spiritual officials of the Dao Gate are an exception.

At this time, on the side of the Zun Zheng faction, the momentum of the previous charge has been dissipated, if it cannot penetrate the formation of the Daomen, the advantage of the cavalry will be lost, and there is no second charge, so you can only dismount and fight. But the cavalry had already suffered heavy casualties under the previous five rounds of volleys, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to kill the military formation that penetrated the Daomen at this time.

Ding Weilingguan put away the clairvoyant mirror, replaced it with a sledgehammer, and prepared to be in battle in person.

On the battlefield, the brave must not advance, the cowardly must not retreat, tens of millions of people are the same person, advance and retreat together, and cooperate properly to form the maximum combat power.

The battle formation of the spirit officer is a small formation of eleven people, and the large array is a three-fold array, which is also a three-layered formation, and the principle is similar to the three-fold fire gun battle method, the first layer is in a hurry, beating the drums, less slow, and beating the drums, and the second layer rushes through the front layer to engage the battle, and the front layer is less than the whole team. The drums are slow and beating, and the first layer rushes through the second layer before engagement, and the original second layer is less than the whole team, so that the first-line soldiers can always maintain relatively abundant physical strength. Like the waves of the three stacks, I don't feel it at the beginning, but I am full of toughness and stamina.

I saw Ding Weilingguan jump high, directly leaped over the range of the three-fold array, and fell into the rear of the cavalry of the Zun Zheng faction, and the giant hammer in her hand that was about the same size as her smashed down.

A huge bowl-shaped depression was smashed out of the landing position, the earth shook, and the huge ripples visible to the naked eye spread out to the surroundings, and all the cavalry of the Venerable Sect in the area were shocked to death, and those who cultivated to a slightly higher level were simply shocked into a cloud of blood mist. Without exception,

After Ding Weilingguan was personally trapped, it caused great chaos.

The man in black and the spirit officer took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and under the leadership of Ding Wei and the spirit officer, a reverse push was formed.

At the same time, there was a continuous sound of drums from the position of the Chinese army.

Listen to the drum and advance, and retreat.

There are also cavalry on the Daomen side, but when the cavalry was sent to charge the battle just now, they never made any moves, and it was not until this time that they showed their grandeur.

The Daomen cavalry formation is tight, the gap between each horse is very small, equipped with a riding lance saber, the saber is a thick back heavy knife, only such a knife can be able to cut through the opponent's heavy armor, if it is the kind of light saber, even if there is the inertia of the charge, it is difficult to cause the effect of armor breaking. Then there is the medium-length firecracker, which is a melee weapon, which can be operated with one hand to shoot the enemy at close range, and can also be used as a bone and hammer when there is no ammunition, and the blunt weapon is more effective than ordinary weapons against armor.

In the rapid sound of war drums, accompanied by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the Daomen cavalry that had been gathering momentum for a long time finally appeared on the battlefield.

Da Xuan started in Shuo Fang's Netherworld State, the northern non kui water, is the water virtue, so advocating the color of black, up and down to black mainly, so the Da Xuan army is called the man in black.

At this time, the thousands of cavalry who rushed out were all black-armored black horses, like two black dragons.

Although Daomen valued firearms, they did not despise cavalry.

With the development of firearms, there was a denial of cavalry in the Daomen and the imperial court, and some people believed that with the popularization of flying boats and the application of firearms, there was no need for cavalry to exist.

However, the prevailing opinion is that cavalry will still play an important role in future wars, and that cavalry should not only continue to exist, but also strengthen its qualitative construction.

As a veteran who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, Xizhou Duhu expressed his opinions with resistance. He believes that the history of the cavalry, is that it was lifted

The time that came and the time when it fell changed history. Cavalry has three basic characteristics: first, it has great speed; second, the ability to combine great mobility with a devastating assault on horseback that includes the extensive use of firepower and other weapons; The third is the very close unity of all members.

Eventually, the cavalry was retained, and the armor of the heavy cavalry was developed, which was as armored as a steel chariot.

Although these black-clothed cavalry are not Xuanjia heavy cavalry, their iron armor is a new type of armor, the armor leaves are strong and fine, ordinary projectiles and arrows will even be directly bounced away, even a slightly closer riding bow and arrow, but also only inserted in the armor, looking scary, does not affect the battle, only the elite warrior cavalry's cavalry

After the black-clothed cavalry entered the battlefield, the Zun Zheng faction began to retreat in an all-round way, and its individual quality should not be underestimated, the reason why it was so completely defeated was because of the tactical tactics, and the second was because of the large gap between the weapons of the two sides, which had reached the point where it was difficult to make up for it by manpower, not to mention the generation difference in technology, it was also the silver money spent, which was also heaven and earth.

To put it bluntly, the army of the Daomen is piled up with real money, and only those who have money can use firearms regardless of the cost. Governing the country and the army is, to put it bluntly, a problem, where does the money come from and where does it go, and if this problem is solved, more than eighty percent of the problem will be solved. This is also the biggest problem of all dynasties, the money does not know where it comes from, and it does not know where it goes.
