Chapter 666: Typical Asymmetric Warfare
Niu Yaowu set off with a reinforced regiment, and in order to put Tanovsky in his pocket as soon as possible and advance lightly, the 75 Mountain Artillery did not carry it. Suleiman waited to see Hua Hou Wei's jokes, and secretly instructed Sismai to send Jie Limu to prepare to meet the Ming army, ostensibly to rescue friendly forces, but in fact to snatch back a little leadership from Hua Hou Wei.
Niu Yaowu sneered secretly, how do these quails know how powerful the eagle is? And what about hussars? With the Fire Phoenix Winged Cavalry, they can only be defeated, and with the Tempest Winged Cavalry, they can only be wiped out. Holding his breath, Niu Yaowu kept urging the troops to speed up the march.
Tanovsky rushed from Smolensk to Kyiv day and night, trying to find the Ottoman, Crimean, and Ming coalition forces, and delaying their pace. Of course, if you have a good opportunity, it's not impossible to give it a try. While marching to the vast fields between Smolensk and Chernihiv, he received a return from the outpost fighters.
"Oh? Are you sure it's an army you've never seen before?" Tarnowsky instantly raised his vigilance and immediately asked for details.
"They were all dark green uniforms, with no armor and no spears."
Tenovsky couldn't ask much more and waved his hand: "Okay, send more people to investigate, expand the range, and focus on seeing if there are Ottomans!"
The hussars were in a glorious era at this time, and since the tactics of the Hungarian hussars were absorbed and improved, the hussars were invincible and invincible across Europe. Although Tenovsky was very wary of the Ming Dynasty, he would never believe that the Ming Dynasty would dare to annihilate the invincible 100,000 winged cavalry with only more than 2,000 people.
Hundreds of soldiers were dispatched, and the news brought back was without exception. Tenovsky was finally convinced that what he was in front of was not bait thrown by a beast, but a poor lamb. It took only five seconds for Tenovsky to give the order: "Eat them!" Luy, you take 5,000 men to block their back roads, and you must not let go of an enemy! I want to see what those so-called invincible Ming people look like!"
Boom, the hussars, divided into four, rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust, and rushed towards the seemingly unsuspecting winged army. Niu Yaowu was overjoyed and shouted, "Zhou Qishan, ***, why are you so excited? scared Tenofsky away, I asked you!"
Zhou Qishan grinned: "Teacher, people still think we are ducks, but what I'm afraid is that we turn around and run, but we don't want to run."
"Waiting for yarn then? The storm is up! , belly button eyes! What are you kid doing? Stay honest, I'll fill the hole for Lao Tzu in a while, how much I can get back, but it's all up to you!" Niu Yaowu grabbed Du Qifeng and scolded.
Du Qifeng pleaded with a pleading face: "Division Commander, don't let my battalion be a reserve, it's not fun!"
Pi Duoduo walked over and immediately stabbed him in the back: "Division commander, this kid is the best at defense!" Definitely stop those Poles!"
Niu Yaowu sneered: "Navel eyes, do you see it? You kid is the most suitable person, wait honestly, Lao Tzu will rush you if you want to!"
Du Qi angrily glanced at Duoduo, and hurriedly prepared in frustration. Niu Yaowu ordered loudly: "The storm will be erected immediately, don't dig trenches, just dig a single pit!" "Camels! What are you kid running around? Hurry up and organize the howitzer and arrange it with the machine gun!" "Goat, you stay on the left flank and let in all those sheep for Lao Tzu."
Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the Ming army did not have a bit of tension here, because it seemed to be a step away, but in fact there was still a distance of more than ten kilometers, and there was time to arrange the position. It's a vast plain with no obscuration at all, and all tactics are transparent to both sides. According to the laws of warfare in this era, such terrain is the most suitable for cavalry combat, and the most unfriendly for infantry. A cavalryman who has lost his speed is a lamb to the slaughter.
When Tenovsky heard that the army had dismounted to defend, he couldn't help but laugh: "Idiot! Such a fool was able to defeat Ismaili, and it seems that the end of the Tatars is near!"
Chapak is Tenofsky's favorite lieutenant and follows Tenofsky's side closely. Seeing that Tenovsky was happy, he immediately volunteered: "General, please allow me to lead the invincible warriors to completely annihilate these stupid Ming people!"
Tenovsky shook his head, "Shapak, you need it
Give your subordinates a chance to behave so that you will have a loyal group of subordinates who love you!"
Shapak nodded, "Thank you for your advice, I will remember the advice you gave me."
Cavalry combat is not a frantic charge at the beginning, so that if you can't run for a while, the war horse will do its best. Tenovsky was able to talk to Shapak leisurely because the hussars were only jogging and still on the move. Lu Yi had already led 5,000 winged cavalry to block the back of the winged army, and there were two winged cavalry, one left and one right, blocking the east and west sides of the Ming army, and the remaining front was Tenovsky's large army, slowly approaching the winged army.
Niu Yaowu grabbed the telescope and complained in his heart that Tenovsky was too slow. Having seen a lot of scenes of the Wing Army fighting cavalry, he was not interested in the battle in front of him at all. Oh, not exactly, Niu Yaowu is still looking forward to the new tactics after combining the Tempest Heavy Machine, the Howitzer, and the Fire Phoenix, Mortar, Thunderbolt, Shotgun, and Soul Chaser.
Tenovsky looked at the Ming army in front of him, and there was a kind of uneasiness in his heart. Without him, it's too peaceful. The Ming army on the opposite side put on a strange formation, similar to an X-shape, or a large four-legged spider. Such a formation has no thickness at all, and for hussars, a charge, it can be crushed. Tenovsky was puzzled, no matter how stupid the Ming army was, it would not put on such a suicidal formation? However, looking at the only Ming army of at most 3,000 people, Tenovsky still put his mind at ease, strength, only strength can determine the outcome of the war. And most of the time, strength is quantity!
With a kilometer to go, the hussars finally began to charge! Due to the uneasiness in his heart, Tenovsky simply ordered to attack from all sides! This is a stubborn person, since he was a child, he has a problem, he is afraid of insects will kill insects in the first place. And now, in fact, it is the same thought, simply put, it is to cut through the chaos quickly and not let the situation become uncontrollable.
The rumbling sound of the horse's hooves shook the heavens and the earth, and as the horse's hooves rose and fell, the crushed grass was swept up by the wind before it could fall, and a green dragon was formed! Closer and closer, the Poles smiled cruelly under their hideous half-face helmets. It's just that the position of the Ming army is still quiet, without a trace of restless restlessness.
Bang! The soul chasing gun in Zhou Qishan's hand rang out! The hussars wearing the two feathered wooden sticks behind the half-body armor, the half-faced helmet was torn in an instant, and blood was splashed everywhere! Hornet's nest ***!
Da Da, the fire phoenix immediately started the performance with passion, and at a rate of 600 firing in one minute, the muzzle of the gun sprayed out a series of fire whips! The hussars attacking on each side were caught in a V-shaped net of fire.
The new tactic that Niu Yaowu is looking forward to is a firepower network that comprehensively covers the near, medium and long range. The fire phoenix, which is the first to fire, is responsible for the distance of 100 meters to 400 meters, and the fish that slips through the net within 100 meters will never escape the concentrated fire of the shotgun, and the storm heavy machine that can penetrate the light armored vehicle is the best weapon to chase and kill the lost dog. The howitzers hit the group about 200 meters away, and the mortars waited for the Polish artillery fire and prepared artillery fire to counteract.
Tenovsky stiffened at the moment when the shots rang out! There is no imaginary smoke, only a faint smoke drifting. But under this strange smoke of gunpowder, there is a cruel scene that has never been seen in this life! Countless heroic warriors were torn to shreds by invisible forces, and together with the war horses that could bite hungry wolves, they became the fertilizer of this great plain. The invincible hussars broke their wings, and the Ming army with firearms was so cruel that they knocked down the hussars soaring in the sky.
Shapak was just as frightened as Tenovsky, but he soon came to his senses from the heavy losses visible to the naked eye, and shouted anxiously: "General! Retreat!"
Tenovsky was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No! Having already suffered such a big loss, it is better to be wrong to the end! Blow the trumpet of victory and charge at any cost!"
Honk! The long sound of the horn resounded throughout the land, and countless hussars followed one after another, gritting their teeth and bowing down, rushing towards the road of death! After all, with the huge difference in numbers, the hussars still have the courage to fight against it. Niu Yaowu sneered: "Come on! The storm is coming!"
Tong! Tom tom! The dull sound of gunfire immediately completely suppressed the sound of the horn. A line of blood spilled from the corner of Tenovsky's mouth, the hussars seemed to be attacked like a heavy hammer, the warriors of the horses were shattered, and the blood beards in the charging team were scattered
Like a knife carved into a piece of wood, it can never be healed.
"General! We also have artillery! Hurry up and give the order, or there will be no hussars in the world!" Shapak's whole body trembled in fear, but he still thought of a way to deal with it.
Tenovsky had lost his bearings, completely forgetting that he still had a lot of artillery with him. He hurriedly ordered artillery fire, don't care about accidentally injuring your own people, the important thing is to suppress the firepower of the Ming army, so as to withdraw the hussars who have already rushed up!
Rumble! Rumble! Smoke was thick and the Poles were armed with small cannons, roughly as good as the Ottoman Falcons. Dozens of projectiles flew towards the battlefield that was falling to one side, and did not cause much damage to the Wing Army, but killed a lot of their own people.
Rumble! Rumble! The 60 mortars were lifted into the air, and more than a hundred mortars opened fire at the same time, like a flock of crows, bringing death to the opponent! The Chinese army in Poland was on fire everywhere, and countless shrapnel were flying wantonly, reaping lives. Those artillery pieces that were still firing just now were blown apart by mortar shells falling from the sky!
