Chapter 119, the Qing army has also improved

Just when Qianlong was in full swing and ready to swallow the more than 5,000 Ming troops under Yang Yuchun's command in one go.

The cavalry led by Ah Gui and Hailancha was already fighting with the "mule cavalry" of the Ming army.

Along the north bank of the Gan River.

More than a dozen Ming army mules dressed in red suits, with sabers, double-barreled short firearms, and cavalry rifled guns (with slightly shorter barrels) straddling their waists, were struggling to urge the war horses under their crotches - if they could be regarded as war horses.

And behind them.

It was about thirty Mongolian cavalry.

These Mongols are the same as their ancestors.

Except that the armor on the body is cowhide armor - this is because the current Mongolian cavalry must not have access to iron armor and the like.

The bows in their hands, the horses under their hips, as well as scimitars, throwing hammers, etc., all make people seem to see the shadow of the invincible iron cavalry that crisscrossed the Eurasian continent back then.

Whoosh.

More than a dozen arrows were thrown from the sky.

But it didn't do any damage - they were all light arrows, which were exhausted when they were thrown down from the air, the arrows on the horses were only a little skinned, and the red military uniforms worn by the Ming army were made of wool, which was very thick and hard, and the arrows did not even penetrate.

But these Mongol cavalry didn't care.

This was originally their tactic.

Harass your opponent with light arrows.

Their horsemanship is also quite good, and many of them have their legs between their horses' bellies, holding bows and arrows in both hands, and shooting arrows while riding their horses.

And their opponents, the mule cavalry of the Ming army, did not dare to let go of the reins, and only cared about running forward with their heads covered.

But the horses under their crotches were not fast enough, and they looked like they were about to be overtaken.

Already beginning there were times when the Mongol cavalry was ready to switch to heavy arrows and shoot their opponents into a hornet's nest.

In the grass not far away, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

Bang bang!

The thirty Mongol cavalry were suddenly attacked, and the horses spun around in a panic, and in a few moments, the knights on horseback were all killed by bullets fired from the grass and bushes.

"Well played! Hahahaha! "Please download the app to read the latest content

Not only did he become a soldier again, but Luo Dingshan, who was also promoted to the next level, came out of the grass.

"That's it! That's how cavalry should be used! ”

Luo Dingshan said with a smile.

If those European traditional cavalry strategists saw that Luo Dingshan used cavalry like this, they would definitely be angry that this person had no chivalry at all, but those red-necked militiamen on the North American continent would think that Luo Dingshan was with their peers.

Lure the enemy, ambush, and shoot black guns.

Luo Dingshan's hand is indeed quite good.

The horses and horses were faster than the Ming Army's Dragoon Brigade, the 21st Cavalry Brigade, also nicknamed the Mule Cavalry Brigade by other Ming troops, was the best unit in the whole army in these days.

With the advantage of the range and accuracy of a rifled gun.

This tactic of luring the enemy and ambushing and shooting black guns has been tried and tested repeatedly.

If the opponent doesn't chase.

That had the advantage of the range of a rifled gun.

The Ming army's mule cavalry could stick to their opponents to fight.

When the opponent can't stand it anymore, he wants to pursue...

That's the result now.

"Brigade commander, it's time to gather the troops, and now Ah Gui and Hailancha, the two old men, shouldn't dare to spill his cavalry."

It was Zeng Ah Da who spoke.

King Ming personally ordered the general and asked Luo Dingshan to be the brigade commander of this dragoon brigade, responsible for the overall formation and summary of tactics - after all, there was no similar army before this.

And Luo Dingshan was not polite, after all, he didn't want to feed the horses in the stable all the time.

So he came to the big tent of King Ming, and after being summoned by King Ming, he took office.

The first thing was to transfer his right-hand man Zeng Ada, to his subordinates and become the commander of a battalion.

After a few fumbles.

The most suitable tactics for the "mule cavalry" were summed up - one is to fly a kite, and the other is to shoot black guns.

This is what King Ming described.

It's very vivid.

"Go and get their horses back, and pounce on your mother's mule soldiers, they think I don't want good horses."

Luo Dingshan scolded and said.

He looked at the hot air balloon in the sky, with the red, green and blue flags hanging underneath.

These are the eyes of his mule soldiers.

"The cavalry is coming, hurry up!"

........

When Ah Gui led the troops to arrive, he only saw the corpses of more than 30 Mongolian cavalrymen, and his face couldn't help but become even more gloomy.

The torture he had endured in the past few days was the worst he had suffered since he led his troops into battle.

The feeling of being completely passive is simply maddening.

Those cavalry of the Ming army, who rode on horseback or simply mules, touched them in the form of squads, and then shot from a distance, and the infuriating thing was that they fought far and accurately.

When you pursue, it's easy to fall into someone's encirclement.

And what's even more infuriating.

They basically move within a radius of a few miles from a hot air balloon.

Ah Gui knew that the lookout on the hot air balloon was using flags to inform the Ming cavalry battlefield within the range.

In this case.

Even if the Mongolian soldiers under Ah Gui have good riding skills and fast speed.

also repeatedly landed.

And there are eyes in the sky staring, as long as Ah Gui's cavalry is close to the large formation of the Ming army, it will encounter the infantry formation that is waiting for it.

Not to mention the Ming infantry who now has super firepower.

Even in the Han infantry formation hundreds of years ago, no cavalry dared to charge directly.

The strategic intention of using cavalry to contain the main force of the Ming army has now clearly failed.

And what worries Gui even more is that....

The role played by the mule cavalry of the Ming army.

This group of cavalry was not only on horseback.

Nothing is done by a cavalryman.

But it doesn't work well.

Aguilema was now on the spot, exhaled heavily, and ordered with a pale face: "Send someone to ask the emperor, now it is difficult for our cavalry to interfere with the march of the Ming army, it is better to mobilize troops in one place, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

Seeing that his subordinates had an order, he left.

Gui let out a long sigh.

Said to himself.

"He's a mother, it all shows that the cavalry is not good, why is there such a mule soldier all of a sudden now."

If you ride a horse like that, you can have such combat power.

So the Qing Dynasty estimated that it would be able to hold the north with its cavalry superiority...

It should be a little dangerous, too.

.........

Qianlong was now preparing for the first wave of attacks on Shengmidu.

Heavy artillery of the Qing army.

Three-thousand-pound general cannon.

A front-loading smoothbore gun cast in pig iron.

The technique of casting cannons was learned from the Portuguese more than 200 years ago, but because Kong Youde rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and defected to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty obtained this large Western naval cannon - also known as the red coat (Yi) cannon at that time for the casting method of old artillery.

So in the Qing army.

This kind of heavy artillery capable of firing 10 catties of solid bullets and shotguns has a very large number of holdings and manufacturing volumes.

After all, this kind of iron cannon cast from pig iron, as long as it is properly maintained, can be used from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

So this time, in order to be able to neutralize the firepower advantage of the Ming army.

The Qing army relied on the advantages of river transportation on the Yangtze River.

Thirty general guns were transported in one fell swoop to the front.

Now it is also pulled up in one go, and the bombardment begins outside the range of the mortars of the Ming army.

The cannon roared and the cigarette smoke filled.

The visible iron projectiles flew in the air, and most of them smashed on the breast wall of the Ming army's position, but the destructive power of this solid bullet on the sandbag wall was very limited, and the Ming army hiding behind the breast wall was safe and sound anyway.

However, the Qing army did not expect this kind of flat-fire fire to cause any damage to the Ming troops hiding in the fortifications.

It's just a fire suppression with a general's cannon.

Under the rumble of cannonballs.

A large number of Southern Green Battalion soldiers used their hands and feet to push a shield cart full of sandbags forward.

There were more than 100 shield carts, which were large carts with two wheels, and a sandbag wall was built on them, which seemed to be used to avoid bullets and shell fragments.

And hiding behind these big shield carts are small carts with small mortar guns.

Shield carts with sandbags to cover mortar wagons.

It's still very creative.

"Sandbags can effectively reduce the lethality of anti-Ming shells, even if this shield car is lying on its stomach, it can also be used as a front-line cover for attacking the anti-Ming position, and after the mortar cannon fires, if the anti-Ming avoids being passively beaten, it can only go out to meet the battle, so that the Baoyi army can rely on these sandbags and anti-Ming to shoot muskets!"

came up with this solution, it was the Qing army general Fukangan.

"Wait for the Baoyi army to shoot for a while, and the rattan soldiers of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Gansu Green Battalion hiding behind can rush up, throw a round of small heavenly thunder bullets, and then rush into the trenches of the anti-Ming army to fight hand-to-hand combat, and use the rattan soldiers to deal with the bayonets of the anti-Ming, and they will definitely suffer losses!"

Fukangan said beside Qianlong.

Qianlong nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad!" Even though the musket and artillery are sharp, they are not without weaknesses, as long as we fight flexibly, we don't believe that we can't win this battle. ”

Fukangan is indeed a general.

It's growing up fast.

They all began to figure out how to fight positional warfare.

This kind of use of the death force of the southern green battalion soldiers, the muskets and mortars in the hands of the Baoyi army, and the elite courage of the Shaanxi-Gansu green battalion.

This arrangement.

Looks like it's really going to win.

......

"What kind of charter is this?"

Yang Yuchun held the binoculars and frowned.

"Brigadier Commander, there's news from the hot air balloon." A subordinate came forward and handed the note in his hand to Yang Yuchun.

"There's a mortar in the back of the sandbag."

"Artillery fighting?"

Yang Yuchun didn't know why.

"Shoot them all these sandbags with a light howitzer!"

With Yang Yunchun's order, it was issued.

A dozen small-caliber front-loading rifled guns were flattened.

The same as the large-caliber howitzers used by the Ming army.

The shells are no longer the wooden shells they used to be.

Rather, it was a steel-hulled cannon equipped with a copper ring to facilitate the engraving.

This shell can use a full projectile, and the shell is very armor-piercing!

Boom Boom!

With the opening of the Ming artillery.

The impact of the shells penetrated into the sandbags and exploded, shattering bags full of dirt, and the huge impact easily broke the wheels of the less reliable cars, and the sandbags quickly lay on their stomachs.

And the exposed southern green battalion soldiers were also completely exposed to the firepower of the Ming army at this time.....

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
