Chapter 092 Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice
Chapter 092
When the infantry faced the cavalry, it was always in an extremely disadvantageous situation.
Victorious, unable to pursue. can only win a small victory, and if you fail, you will face a catastrophe.
Cheng Shijie has always dared not let go of his comprehensive firepower, he is afraid of beating these Jiannu, after all, he has one hundred and forty-eight thunderbolts in his hand, and one salvo is 4,400 bullets. It is equivalent to 4,400 firearms, and Shen Mingyu's Zuo Dusi also has more than 4,000 single-shot firearms.
It also means that Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy now has a one-time salvo of more than 8,400 guns to strike, with the Shen Mingyu Department of the Zuo Du Division to build, the Ning Navy's artillery has been greatly strengthened, a total of 86 Franc machine artillery, even if Azig presses them all, Cheng Shijie can shoot down the less than 3,000 Jiannu and more than 1,500 Mongolian cavalry.
It's just a pity that the cavalry of the Ning Navy can't be regarded as a real cavalry, at least in the face of Jiannu, the gap is desperate, even if it is a case of three to one, there is no guarantee that there is an absolute chance of victory.
If Cheng Shijie had used all his firepower before, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy casualties on Azig, but the problem was that even if Azig's head was in the water, it would be impossible for him to order his cavalry to charge against the rain of bullets and bullets of the Ning Navy, which was not an attack, but a death.
After Cheng Shijie gave the order to open fire, Song Xiance opened his mouth.
However, he did not make a sound.
Because he knew that Cheng Shijie's order was issued, it would definitely be executed, and if it was not implemented, the order would be changed overnight, which would be a huge blow to the prestige of Cheng Shijie, the coach.
Song Xiance lowered his voice and said: "Lord, I'm afraid that Jiannu will be scared away, now it's better to give Jiannu a hope......"
"No!"
Cheng Shijie categorically rejected Song Xiance's suggestion.
As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, and the head determines the thinking.
Facing the two devils in front of him, Cheng Shijie is ready to defeat them and solve the battle at one time, even if some of them escape, they can also publicize the firepower superiority of the Ning Navy and the combat effectiveness of the Ning Navy.
"Ben Shuai wants to let these Ming army prisoners know that they want to help the Ming army abuse and need to pay the price, Ben Shuai wants to let Jiannu know that not all Ming troops are cowardly soft eggs, and our Ning Navy is to let Jiannu from now on, when they see our banner, they will retreat!"
At such an instant, Cheng Shijie found a problem. If he took advantage of Jiannu's ignorance of the Ning Navy to give Jiannu hope of victory, he could certainly cause huge casualties to Jiannu. Tactically, Cheng Shijie won, but strategically, Cheng Shijie failed.
Is Jiannu really strong?
Strong is definitely strong, but the problem is that they are definitely not as powerful as they boast, as early as the Nurhachi era, Nurhachi personally led the positive yellow flag of 45 Niu Lu, inlaid with yellow flag 20 Niu Lu, Dai Shan and his eldest son Yue Tuo led the positive red flag and inlaid red flag respectively 25 Niu Lu and 26 Niu Lu, Mang Gurtai led 21 Niu Lu blue flags, Amin led 33 Niu Lu inlaid blue flags, and Huang Taiji and Nurhachi's eldest grandson Du Du led 25 Niu Lu Zheng Bai Flag and 15 Niu Lu inlaid white flags respectively, The total number of cattle records reached 210.
But in the period of Huang Taiji, only the three flags of Huang Taiji and his eldest son Haoge led by the yellow, yellow and blue reached 117 Niu Lu, and the white flag and inlaid white flag led by the three brothers Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo also had 98 Niu Lu, and the Zheng Red Flag and the Red Flag led by Dai Shan, plus the blue flag led by Zir Harang, there were also 96 Niu Lu, the number reached 311 Niu Lu, and the total strength also reached nearly 100,000 people.
However, on the surface, the number of cattle increased by Jiannu is only one hundred and one, that is, 30,000 horses, which is not too much, but the problem is that Jiannu's troops and troops are not quick troops.
Only the battle of Ningyuan, in the Ming Dynasty official record of the loss of 14,000 people, and the Manchu record only admits the death of two guerrillas, 500 soldiers, in the battle of Ningjin, Huang Taiji returned with a feather, claiming that the loss is very small, Zhao led the teaching, no less than two or three thousand thieves and slaves. "Three Dynasties Liao Facts": The Ming army was besieged in Lili Mountain, "fought bravely, and many people were killed".
In any case, although Huang Taiji took the initiative to retreat in this battle, it would be unreasonable to say that a single soldier would not die, after all, he used sixty or seventy thousand people and spent twenty-four days to engage in a spring outing? The question of how many casualties of their own soldiers and horses is only clear to them, in short, more than one-third of Jiannu's troops at this time must be recruits.
Cheng Shijie hopes to use this battle to play the prestige of the Ning Navy, and if Jiannu refuses to accept it, he will come to the war if he does not accept it.
"Fire!"
As the more than 4,000 Ming prisoners of war howled and rushed within 800 paces of the Ning Navy, the artillery of the Ning Navy began to open fire.
Eighty-six Franc machine guns fired eighty-six blazing lead balls, which fell into the Ming army's formation, smashing out bloody alleys, and one of the shells smashed into Zu Zehong's position less than 10 meters.
Zu Zezu is the son of Zu Dashou, Dalinghe City surrendered with Zu Dashou, and later Zu Dashou fled back to Jinzhou alone, and this Ming army was captured and reorganized into the Han army, which was led by Zu Zehong.
The cannonballs splashed up the dirt and landed on Zu Zehong's body, but at this moment he was unmoved, but said loudly: "The artillery loading speed is not fast, if you don't want to die, run faster!" ”
In all fairness, those who can survive to the end in Dalinghe City are all veterans in the army, and they still have the ability to save their lives on the battlefield.
"Boom ......"
However, before these ancestral soldiers could run a hundred steps, the second round of shelling by the Ning Navy began.
At this time, Azig's face couldn't help but change greatly: "Why do Ming Dogs have so many artillery?" ”
The first round of nearly 100 artillery shots was fired, which was already the normal artillery configuration of an elite unit of the Ming army with a scale of 10,000 people, but the Ning Navy also had tens of thousands of horses, but there were more than 200 artillery pieces.
No one answered Azig's question, and at this moment the third round of shelling sounded.
Standing in the Han Army, Zu Zerun said loudly: "Tell the master, this is the Franc machine gun, that is, the rate of fire is fast, and the power is not great!" ”
However, the reality slapped in the face too quickly.
In just six rounds of shelling, the 4,000 ancestral army fell by a thousand people.
Azig stared at Zu Zerun: "Are you still powerful?" What does it mean to be powerful? ”
If it weren't for the fact that these ancestral armies were really tenacious, they actually fell by a third, and they hadn't collapsed yet, even Cheng Shijie admired these two devils a little.
In later generations, they are also two devils, more ruthless than real devils.
Cheng Shijie secretly calculated the distance, and added some hard dishes to them.
With the seventh round of shelling, which lasted longer than the previous six, Zu Zehong, the third son of Zu Zehong, who was leading the charge, shouted: "Minggou's artillery is red, brothers rush me!" ”
These ancestral soldiers showed hideous expressions, their steps were fast, and they rushed more violently and urgently.
Just when they had just rushed into the range of three hundred steps, Cheng Shijie waved his hand fiercely.
"Detonate!"
With Cheng Shijie's order, the ancestral soldiers who rushed into the minefield did not notice that white smoke suddenly rose from the ground under their feet, and the explosives were detonated with the fuse.
Balls of orange fireball came out from under their feet, and the ancestral soldiers were tossed high like leaves, and their limbs and severed arms rained down on the living, popping.
The hot, sharp shrapnel radiated layer by layer in all directions, easily shooting through the armor of the ancestral soldiers, tearing their bodies, and letting the internal organs and dirty blood and mud flow out of the terrifying wounds!
The Jiannu cavalry, Azig, Borzi and other generals who were standing behind and watching the battle, turned pale in an instant with fright: "What kind of ghost cannon is this!" ”
Zu Zerun was also so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, he pressed his waist knife against the ground, barely allowing himself to fall, he muttered to himself: "This is not artillery, this is ......"
"What is this?"
"It's a thunderbolt!"
At this time, the sound of thunderbolts sounded one after another.
"Bang ......"
Dense like rain, shooting at the ancestral soldiers who were still standing on the ground and were scared stupid. If it were the army of later generations, in the face of this situation, it would definitely lie down on the spot to reduce the danger brought to them by bullets.
However, the problem is that the ancestral soldiers who were blown up by the mines have lost their brains at this moment, and even if the ancestral soldiers are lucky enough to not die, their hands and feet do not listen to the control of their heads.
Suddenly, a rain of fire rose into the air, this was the third gift that Cheng Shijie prepared for these ancestral soldiers, this was Cheng Shijie's self-made gasoline incendiary bomb.
This is the most powerful weapon that Cheng Shijie can get, and even the scrap yard can receive most of the raw materials, sixty liters of gasoline, plus sugar, flour, discarded plastics, and eighty catties of black powder to detonate, forming a sea of fire with a radius of about 150 meters.
The key is that this kind of home-made gasoline napalm bomb, although the raw soil, but the power is not small at all, if you boil syrup in life, accidentally be burned, you will find that this viscous substance, can not be shaken off at all, watering is useless.
These ancestral soldiers are not going to die immediately, after they were burned by gasoline napalm bombs, the pain is deep into the bone marrow, their screams have been distorted, and the fire people who have the ability to move are so frightened that they run everywhere and continue to burn their comrades-in-arms......
Finally, the sound of the cannon stopped, and the Thunderbolt also stopped shooting, whether it was Jiannu, Ning Navy soldiers, or ancestral soldiers, everyone was frightened.
"It's too ......"
Shen Mingyu couldn't describe his shock in words, he thought that artillery was already the most powerful weapon, but Cheng Shijie and the craftsmen came up with the Thunderbolt again, the power of the Thunderbolt is big enough, right? Cheng Shijie made a gasoline napalm bomb again, and Cheng Shijie also gave them a foreign name: "Molotov cocktail".
He was very puzzled, why this strange name, what kind of cocktail, obviously there is no alcohol taste at all, right?
"What should I do?"
Azig is now riding a tiger, if he retreats like this, not to mention that the fat old man wants to clean him up, even their other generals with white flags will look down on him. However, if he reorganized the team and launched an attack, after seeing the sharp artillery of the Ning Navy, he did not think that Jiannu's cavalry could rush forward.
You must know that even now, the Ning Navy still does not have full firepower, that's right, these ancestral soldiers have not rushed into the range of the Ning Navy's crossbow machine at all, so the more than 4,000 crossbowmen have not yet opened.
"Master, what now?"
Borzi is now forcing Azig into a corner, he originally wanted Azig persimmons to pick up soft pinch, take advantage of the internal chaos of the Dongjiang Army, take advantage of the advantage and leave, but the problem is that now the advantage is not taken, I didn't expect to bite into an iron walnut, the fat did not eat, but collapsed a few big teeth!
"Dog minion, it's all your ......"
Although Azig made his own opinion, he ran over to fight the jungle without reporting to the fat eight, the plot was not light, and so many Manchurian warriors were killed and injured at once, the fat eight must be furious, if there is not enough loot, he doesn't know what to deal with the fat eight's monstrous anger.
But the problem is that although the Ning Navy has a lot of equipment, although it is good, it is not so easy to obtain.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Azig whipped Bolzi more than a dozen times in one breath, and directly whipped Bolzi to the point that his skin was open and bloody, but Borzi himself couldn't say it.
Azig was about to go crazy, but Cheng Shijie was excited by the success of his firepower-first tactics.
"Master, otherwise, send those bright dogs again!"
Azig also knew that he needed to accept it when he saw it, after all, his stepwife was Borzi's sister, and it was not easy to explain if he broke his eldest brother.
After all, Jiannu likes marriage, the relationship between husband and wife, that's a fart, he, as the Baylor of the Aixin Jueluo family, needs to take care of the Jiannu nobles, he has more than a dozen concubines, but he is noble, but he looks crooked and cracked, which is unsightly, but it is the Borzigit clan, the wife of the Mongolian tribe, who looks like that.
"Master, Minggou's artillery fired the first six cannons, and the seventh artillery fired later, obviously, their artillery needs to wait and then be able to fight, it's better to ......"
Borzi also didn't want his subordinates and clansmen to die, so he could only let Zu Zerun run, and Zu Zehong had already died in front of the battle.
Azig pointed to the large formation of the Ming army and said, "Zu Zerun, you take your people up!" ”
"Master......"
"Get out!"
Azig took the waist knife and pointed at Zu Zerun and said: "If you dare to disobey, Benbel will hack you to death!" ”
Zu Zerun was also forced into a corner, he sighed helplessly, and walked towards the main formation of tens of thousands of horses.
Witnessing more than 4,000 good hands, they died cleanly without even seeing Ning Hai's face, and these ancestral soldiers looked desperate.
"Young General Zu, you are doing well, spare your life!"
"We don't want to die......"
"Young General Zu, you go and plead with your nobles!"
"General Zu Shao ......"
Listening to these begging for mercy, Zu Zerun said that if he was not uncomfortable, it would definitely be a lie, but the problem was that he had no choice. As a general, he thought he had done his part. When Jiannu besieged Dalinghe City, the food in Dalinghe City was only enough for a month, but they held out for more than a hundred days.
At first, it was fine, but it was a little less, and then the food was completely gone, so they ate mice, and when the rats were eaten up, they could only eat human flesh, and at first they ate the dead, and then they drew lots to see who ate whom.
In desperation, they surrendered to Jiannu.
"Brothers, stay ahead!"
Zu Zerun pointed behind him, the Jiannu cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry behind him had already drawn their bows and arrows, as long as they didn't advance, there was only one way to die.
"Brothers, rush!!"
Zu Zerun can see it clearly, Jiannu didn't treat them as people at all.
At this time, the soldiers of the ancestral army charged, which was completely different from the previous charge, under the leadership of Zu Zehong, those ancestral soldiers thought that the Ning Navy, like the rest of the Ming army, belonged to the soft egg cowardice that would fall down at the first touch, but after witnessing the fierceness of the Ning Navy's artillery and the benefits of the fire, they no longer had any hope of defeating the Ning Navy.
"Brother opposite, stay alive!"
"Brothers on the other side, we are all Ming people, don't shoot......"
"I don't want to die yet......"
"I don't want to die ...... either"
These ancestral soldiers wept all the way and moved forward.
"Woo Woo ......"
At this time, the Jiannu cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry began to release arrows, and the cavalry horn bows equipped by the Mongolian cavalry and the Jiannu cavalry at this time belonged to soft bows. This soft bow had an extremely fast rate of fire, and several arrows flew out in a line as the bowstrings trembled in the hands of these well-trained Mongol cavalrymen and Jiannu.
It is commonly known as the Lianzhu arrow, of course, but this kind of bow can only bully the Ming army with a miserable armor rate, and it will not work if it encounters the Ning Navy, the essence of the Ning Navy's armor, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, they are absolutely first-class.
But the problem is that the ancestral army was originally equipped with a large amount of armor, and when they surrendered, they had been taken away by Jiannu, and now they are just shabby mandarin duck battle jackets, which can be regarded as cotton armor, and have a certain defensive ability against bows and arrows, but the problem is that the elite troops of the ancestral army were killed and wounded in the first round of attack, and these are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the armor rate is almost none.
Under the arrows of the Jiannu and the Mongol cavalry, they suffered heavy casualties.
With the Jiannu cavalry and the Mongol cavalry driving away, these ancestral soldiers could only speed up their advance.
In the front of the Ning Navy, Cheng Shijie also saw the difference between these two two devils, the first two devils were like the early stage, more fierce than the devils, and the latter was like four or five years of two devils, while charging, shouting: "Grandpa Eight Road, don't shoot!" ”
Seeing these ancestral army soldiers getting closer and closer, the soldiers of the Ning Navy also looked at Cheng Shijie in unison.
"Get into the best range of artillery!"
Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "Give up the first chest wall, give up the first line of defense, strictly guard the second line of defense, let them throw away their weapons, jump into the trench, and if they don't do what we ask, they will be killed!" ”
With Cheng Shijie's order, the Ning Navy soldiers led the retreat, and their retreat was also silent, after all, the fortifications composed of these three breastwork walls and trenches were all arranged in a ring.
The soldiers of the Ning Navy are not afraid of these ancestral soldiers playing tricks, at both ends of the communication trench, the thunderbolt can shoot them intensively, and they do not have grenades and submachine guns, it is actually very difficult to snatch the fortifications.
The smart Ning Navy soldiers also planted mines when they retreated, and if these ancestral soldiers dared to play tricks, they would die even worse.
These cowardly forward-looking ancestral soldiers finally arrived in front of the first chest wall of the Ning Navy, and behind the second chest wall opposite, the heads of the Ning Navy soldiers were exposed: "The Liaoxi brothers on the other side, throw away your weapons, climb over slowly, I will protect you from death...... If you dare to play tricks, don't blame the brothers for being ruthless! ”
These ancestral soldiers were overjoyed, they had already turned around from the ghost gate, knowing that Jiannu did not treat them as people, those Jiannu were really not people, not to mention women, they didn't even let men go.
"Brother, don't shoot!"
An ancestral soldier threw away the spear in his hand, climbed over the breastwork, and jumped into the trench according to the command of the Ning naval soldier, followed by the second and third......
As more and more soldiers jumped into the trench, Azig, who was watching from behind, finally reacted.
But the problem is that Zu Zerun is leading the way, and he doesn't even have a hostage now.
"These bright dogs are really unreliable!"
Azig ordered to Borzi beside him: "Slaughter them for the master!" ”
Borji received the order and led more than 1,500 Jiannu cavalry and more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry under his command, followed the rear of the ancestral soldiers, and rushed away.
Cheng Shijie looked at this scene and directly ordered: "The artillery raises a firing range and bombards the Jiannu behind!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
One artillery cannon spewed out balls of fireballs, and the shells ploughed out flesh and blood alleys in the Jiannu cavalry formation, blowing up the Jiannu cavalry to the point that they were on their backs and embarrassed.
Borzi's luck was really bad, and in the first round of shelling, a cannonball hit his horse's head directly, and the cannonball, with huge kinetic energy, directly hit the cannonball into the horse's belly and flew out of the dung gate.
The war horse that fell to the ground in an instant crushed Borji to the ground, and before he could get up, a war horse behind him stepped towards Borzi's lower abdomen.
In desperation, Borzi only moved his body, and the horse's hooves with the big mouth of the bowl stepped directly on his life.
"Ah......h
Borzi enjoyed a physical castration, and he passed out in pain.
As Borzi's lower body was in a mess and blood flowed, a Mongolian cavalryman looked up to the sky and shouted sadly, "Immortal God, what's wrong with you!" ”
As Borzi fell, the Mongol tribe beside him lifted it up, turned around and ran, and the other Jiannu saw this and also turned back, they really couldn't raise the courage to face Ning's navy.
Just a few rounds of shelling have already made Jiannu lose the courage to fight again.
In the face of more than 2,000 horsemen who returned in embarrassment, they returned from this round of attack, and without even seeing the face of the Ning Navy, two or three hundred people were killed and wounded, and a Niu Lu disappeared from the battle sequence with a white flag.
Azig can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice, and sent more than 8,000 free laborers to Cheng Shijie.
PS: It's finally written, forgive me, I can only change it today.
