Chapter 103: No Tactics Required
In the fifteenth year of Orthodoxy, the first day of the fourth month.
As soon as the sky was bright, there were already thousands of empty alleys in Beijing.
Today is the day when the army goes out, from Deshengmen Street to the gate of the Fifth Military Camp, there is a tide of people, which is busy with the officers of Shuntianfu, and they are already tired and sweating profusely just to maintain order.
At the right time, the sound of long live the mountain came from the capital, and the sound came along the way, and the huge sound wave soared into the sky.
In the endless waves, the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen wore golden armor, rode a high-headed horse, and walked out of Desheng Gate to the school field.
Three hundred brocade guards guarded the surroundings, these people were all carefully selected by Yuan Bin himself, all of them looked tall and mighty, and their images were needless to say.
The way was opened in front of the Workshop Division, and the sound of singing sounded.
"The emperor is the emperor, and the Yu Tang is far away. Heqing Haiyan, Wufu Minkang. Weijiayi fang, De was ...... by Rong Qiang"
After the imperial chariot, it was a hundred civil and military officials headed by Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants.
Yu Qian was also dressed in military uniform, and he rode a horse to follow closely behind.
In the large school field of the five military camps, the soldiers lined up in countless huge phalanxes, neatly and solemnly.
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
Since Zhu Qizhen stepped into the big school, 100,000 soldiers began to chant long live.
In less than a year, two pro-conscriptions.
However, the gap is stark.
The fourteen years of orthodoxy seemed to be shrouded in clouds, and everyone was complaining and depressed.
Today, the morale of the whole army is high and the excitement is extreme.
Facing the rising sun, Zhu Qizhen stepped forward, looked at the endless phalanx, and drew the sword at his waist.
The huge school field immediately became silent.
Zhu Qizhen's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Two hundred years ago, Meng Yuantie rode into the Great Wall, and the Central Plains was reduced to a horse farm, and the land of fish and rice was starving everywhere. They regard the Han people as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and they are tyrannical, and people and gods are angry! ”
"A hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu Gao started in Qianmo, pulled out of the army, and brought countless heroes and ancestors to stain the battlefield with blood, and the horse leather shrouded body, and finally drove the violent yuan back to Mobei to restore the great rivers and mountains."
"Today, they are back, they have crossed the Great Wall again and again, burned, killed and looted, and the people in the border towns have been poisoned and displaced, and the people are living in poverty."
"Since I succeeded to the unification with my young and weak, I have been honored by my ancestors and become the ruler of the world. If you only live in the Forbidden City, you will steal the rest of your life, forget the worries of a hundred years, humiliate the ancestors, and suffer the people. Therefore, I swear with all the armies here, inherit the great cause of the ancestors, and go on the Northern Expedition! ”
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Fengtian Northern Expedition!" ”
"Mukden Northern Expedition!"
"Mukden Northern Expedition!"
Zhu Qizhen raised the long sword in his hand high and continued: "Today, I and the army and horses stepped on the company camp, fought a bloody battle, did not break the enemy army, and swore not to turn back!" ”
"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"
"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"
"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"
Seeing the morale of the generals, Zhu Qizhen raised the long sword in his hand high and raised his voice: "The Ming army is mighty!" ”
"Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!"
On the school field, the uniform shouts soared into the sky.
Zhu Qizhen turned his horse's head, pointed the long sword in his hand to the north, and said slowly: "Pass my order, go!" ”
Immediately after that, bang......
In a series of firecrackers, the 100,000-strong army marched in formation.
At the forefront were the Left Sentinel Army, the Right Sentinel Army, then the Praetorian Guard, the Shenji Battalion and the Central Army, and finally the Left and Right Wing Army.
The army was mighty, like a long dragon, and there was no end in sight.
On the second day of the first month, go to Changping Longhutai.
On the third day of junior high school, I arrived at Juyong Pass.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the front passed through Badaling and turned north......
From Jingshi to Yumu River more than 800 miles, after leaving the Great Wall, enter the grassland, and march 30 miles a day.
Behind the army, there were countless people who carried grain and grass and baggage.
This is the emperor's personal expedition, and the supply of grain and grass is naturally the highest priority, and no one dares to slack off in the slightest.
On the first day of the fifth month, the army successfully arrived at the Yumuchuan camp.
Li Zhen, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, had been waiting for a long time and went out of the camp for thirty miles to greet him.
After resting, Zhu Qizhen immediately summoned Yu Qian, Li Zhen, Chen Ying, Fan Zhong, and Yuan Bin to the big tent of the Chinese army to hold a combat meeting.
All the generals stepped forward one after another to salute, and Zhu Qizhen said: "Li Zhen, I have seen the good news of the 3,000 battalions, this battle is beautiful!" ”
"The Sword Comes"
"Emperor Xie!"
Li Zhen hurriedly saluted and said: "This battle is victorious, thanks to new firearms!" ”
Chen Ying couldn't help but ask: "Marquis of Xiangcheng, tell me about it, how powerful is the actual combat power of artillery?" ”
"Ten times stronger than the Great General's Cannon!"
Chen Ying listened, couldn't help but nodded, after the reorganization of the three major battalions, the Shenji battalion was changed to an artillery battalion, and all the current equipment is Furlong machine guns, fifty small guns, and thirty large guns.
The barrel of the large cannon is similar to the length of the general's cannon, which is inconvenient to carry and needs to be mounted on the gun carriage.
The small cannon is the kind that the 3,000 battalion is equipped with, and after disassembly, it can be carried by individual soldiers, which is extremely convenient.
The only thing he was worried about was that the small cannon was not powerful enough, and now that he heard what Li Zhen said in person, he was relieved.
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What's the situation over there?" ”
Li Zhen continued: "According to the report from the sentinels, Warat has gathered an army of 150,000 troops, and three days ago, he just arrived at Dagu Mountain, which is eighty miles away. ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded and greeted, "Yu Qian! ”
"The minister is here!"
"Tell me, how will this battle be fought?"
Yu Qian said without hesitation: "Since my firearms are powerful, we can directly suppress them remotely with artillery." ”
"It's that simple?"
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Didn't you study the art of war?" ”
Yu Qian replied: "The so-called military strategy is aimed at the situation of evenly matched, or weak against strong, now our army has obvious advantages, no need for any art of war, it is enough to have muskets and artillery, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to calculate the consumption of ammunition, and never cut off the supply." ”
Zhu Qizhen thought about it, it seemed to be such a truth.
At the beginning of Tumubao, the weapons and equipment of the two sides were roughly equal, but the Ming army was besieged by Wara and almost fell into a desperate situation.
In desperation, he had to fight against the water, give up the baggage supplies, and blitzked the Arazhiyuan, which made a bloody way.
However, now that he has muskets and artillery that are beyond this era, what tactics are he playing?
Think about it, when the Western powers invaded the Qing Dynasty, did they need tactics?
In the face of absolute strength, any tactics and skills are in vain.
"What about the others, is there anything you want to say?"
Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin hardly participated in tactical discussions, and Li Zhen had already had a good time, so he naturally agreed with Yu Qian's opinion.
Chen Ying, as the commander of the Shenji Battalion, suddenly felt full of mission.
When I thought of the eighty guns in my hand, I felt unprovoked excitement in my heart.
"Minister, please fight, let Warat also taste the power of our cannon first!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "In this case, tomorrow because Qian will be the commander-in-chief, he will do his mother first!" ”
Yu Qian suddenly felt a little flattered, and hurriedly replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
