Chapter 149: Saying that the big tomorrow is invincible
"What? The enemy was defeated? ”
When Yan Zheng heard the cannon sound, the more he wrote, the more scribbled he became.
He was confident in his soldiers, but he was also a little panicked, after all, this was a large foreign army, not like the natives he had dealt with before.
But before he could finish writing a thousand words, Ansan ran in and said that the enemy had been defeated, and he wanted to pursue it!
In total, the cannon was fired a dozen times, and it was only two vertical turrets and two cannons with large horns.
That is, the group of enemies was routed almost not long after the start of the shelling.
"Now the soldiers are waiting, asking if there is a need for pursuit?" An San said lightly.
Yan Zheng walked back and forth a few steps, shook his head and said, "The Ming people are scheming, in case it is a trick to lure the enemy...... This ......"
He was stunned, he originally thought it was Tyson, but after the fight, he realized that it was Ma Baoguo!
An San saw that Yan Zheng was shocked, and also muttered: "This group of people is not brave at all, and they have not seen the enemy's totem clearly, so they have run away!"
Yan Zheng actually felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was such a wise and martial man, not only did he make a mistake in prediction and overestimate his opponent, but he also lacked an understanding of his own strength!
Lao Tzu is already so strong? Is this group too weak, or is it that they are too strong!
"Don't chase just yet!" Yan Zheng thought for a while and said, "Wait, wait, the Ming people have a long history of war, in case it lures us out......"
"You can seduce a chicken! After a few rounds of artillery, it was defeated, at least this was a temptation, and it had to hold on for a little longer, right? ”
Yan Zheng's mind was very confused at the moment, and he walked out as he spoke.
He has been fighting against the natives for so long, and he feels that the natives are nothing, and he has always been very jealous of the Ming Dynasty's armament.
In any case, the Ming Dynasty is the strongest force in the region.
In addition, before he crossed over, he was deeply affected by the propaganda of my invincibility in the future, and his heart actually changed a little.
So much so that they only dared to shout slogans among the people, and they did not even dare to make moves to build the country.
Soon he ascended to the large convex fort on the northwest side, and when he went up, he looked into the distance, and found that there was not a single living person standing except for a puddle of flesh and blood outside.
"Why did the enemy run away?" Yan Zheng muttered to himself.
The artillery leader on the side said: "We follow what the chief taught, when the enemy has passed the calibrated marker, we will immediately fire the cannon!" The first shot knocked down a piece of the enemy, and then the four batteries fired in unison, and after the enemy retreated, we adjusted the muzzle elevation angle, and finally under the bombardment of several guns, the enemy scattered in a hurry. Quite a few people were busy fighting for the ships to escape, which led to chaos again, and the soldiers of the vertical battery seized the opportunity and fired a few more shots! ”
Yan Zheng fell silent, which was too different from the war he understood.
After thinking for a while, he walked out of Meaux, escorted by a squad of soldiers, to the place where the shelling had occurred.
Vomit - he had seen the battlefield of flesh and blood, and as soon as he came to these slopes, he couldn't help but vomit.
Many indigenous soldiers were also disgusted by this scene.
Most of the corpses were incomplete, with stumps and severed arms, as well as various outflow of internal organs.
Because this ramp is designed to follow the trajectory of the shell, it can often extend farther after causing ricochets on the slope.
The enemy's attack, on the other hand, uses the classic layer-by-layer advance, looking for weak points and then approaching the elite.
Therefore, this slightly dense formation is simply purgatory on earth under the ricochet.
"Find someone to turn up the soil and get new soil to cover this place!" Yan Zhengqiang endured vomiting and said.
He walked to the river again, and found that there were also several passages of flesh and blood, which seemed to have been made by the three-pound cannon on the vertical turret.
It's just that because of the distance, the kinetic energy has already begun to run low, and no more casualties have been caused.
After watching it for a while, Yan Zheng returned to Mocheng with a pale face.
He told Ansan: "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and let everyone harvest rice!"
The loss this time is that some rice was trampled and burned.
After Ansan left, he sat in a chair in a daze, with cold sweat still on his forehead.
Lan Ya thoughtfully brought over a cup of hot tea and asked, "The enemy has been beaten away?"
Yan Zheng nodded: "They were all beaten away, they didn't last long, and under the bombardment of artillery, they quickly collapsed!"
"That's good!" Lan Ya smiled and said, "Some students still want to go to the battlefield!"
Yan Zheng leaned back in his chair and sighed and said, "The future battlefield should be the world of these student soldiers!"
He really didn't expect that these people would rout so quickly under the artillery, which naturally had the factor of improving the defensive conditions under the principle of the fortress, but under the blow of about a hundred shells, it was completely defeated, which still made Yan Zheng feel incredible.
Could it be that the age of firearms has come like this?
In fact, what Yan Zheng didn't know was that the army in his impression was an army with a macro narrative, so naturally he could only hear the description of 800,000 to 600,000, and 800,000 to be completely annihilated.
In fact, in most wars, troops collapse beyond a certain casualty rate. Therefore, 800,000 to 600,000 is generally the pull of several local battles, and when there are mutual wins and losses, it depends on the stronger will to fight on that side, and can seize key important places faster.
Once you control a key point on the battlefield, you can immediately bring a side to a collapse.
The modern army, on the other hand, can withstand a casualty rate of more than 20 percent without collapsing, and if it can withstand a casualty rate of more than 50 percent, it is an absolutely tenacious iron army.
As for the ancient army, most of the time, a 10 percent casualty rate can collapse an army.
And Yan Zheng's impression of the invincible tomorrow mostly describes the border army at that time.
Although in the records, the combat effectiveness of the border army is also worrying, but it is far better than the various guards on the southeast coast.
There are two main factors in this, one is that the southeast half of the wall has been peaceful for a long time and the armament is relaxed. Second, most of the coastal guards have become corrupted, and all the officers have become big landlords, and they have colluded deeply with the local gentry.
In the Jiajing period of another time and space, there will be a spectacle of dozens of Japanese robbers ravaging many places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Even Qi Jiguang chose to re-recruit farmers for training.
Therefore, the bandits and robbers that Yan Zheng encountered this time were actually far inferior to the aborigines who drank blood.
At least the aborigines grew up in headhunting and hunting, and for them, fighting is almost a daily routine!
…………
It seems that no matter how much I think about this question for ten days and ten nights, I can't get a definite answer! His grandmother's, such a dish is still here to Lao Tzu! ”
Yan Zheng scolded the street silently, but he gradually came back to his senses in his heart.
Although they are bandits, it is not necessarily that the Ming army is stronger than the bandit army, otherwise there would not be a situation in which officers and soldiers were beaten by bandits.
In such a comparison, Yan Zheng's heart suddenly became hot and excited.
Dongfan Island is far from the southeast coast of Daming, which can be said to be the morning and evening, and any point on the long coastline of Daming is a place where you can land!
"What is that Lao Tzu afraid of!"
Yan Zheng slapped his forehead violently, "What kind of dog are you still doing!" Just flip the table! ”
In fact, Yan Zheng is also amorous, he wants to be a dog Daming, but he is not unqualified!
Because according to the ancestral teachings, the qualifications of the tribute states of the Ming Dynasty are limited to the countries allowed in the "Ming Huidian".
At that time, the Portuguese went to Beijing to pay tribute, but they still did not qualify for tributary trade.
In order to exchange markets, I fought with the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, and finally reached the matter of paying tribute.
Some things that are obviously mutually beneficial and win-win, but the doctors of the great Ming scholars often insist on it as political correctness.
