Zilharang imprisoned himself in the city of Beijing, and he knew nothing about what was going on outside the city.There's no way around it.In ancient wars, the means of communication were backward, and he suffered a loss in weapons, so there was no other way to do it.When Wang Shuo's army suddenly retreated, he knew that it was the cavalry he had sent out.Sure enough, the cavalry took a lot of carrier pigeons raised in the palace before leaving, and some carrier pigeons flew back and brought news that Wang Shuo was mobilizing all the cavalry to deal with the Manchu cavalry that rushed in the rear.Later, fewer and fewer carrier pigeons flew back.He knew that his cavalry must be in a very difficult situation.The cavalry can also break through the enemy's musket defense, and the infantry who stay at home to charge the musket defense line is equivalent to death.He had no choice but to confront the Northwest Army near Beijing, hoping that his cavalry could completely disrupt the rear of the Northwest Army as he had planned.His imagination was too good, and the reality was completely different from what he imagined.Most of the cavalry troops sent to the rear of the Northwest Army were composed of ordinary people of the Han and Mongolian dynasties, and the Manchus actually accounted for a very small proportion, basically acting as officers at all levels.Such a cavalry army cannot be compared with the Manchurian elite at all.The real Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry can use a horse bow with a tension of about one hundred and fifty catties, that is really a flying arrow, no one can stop it, if the Eight-Nation Alliance invades at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus still have a cavalry army that can use such a powerful bow and arrow, Monk Greenqin will not be defeated so badly at Bali Bridge, and maybe the Eight-Nation Alliance will be driven to the sea to feed Wang Ba.At that time, the monks and Mongolian cavalry were all Mongolian herdsmen's army, and the force of the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty had long been gone, and the cavalry could not even pull a horse bow of 30 catties, and the lethality of the bow and arrow was reduced from the original 200 steps to less than 10 steps.What's more, most of the cavalry don't know how to use horse bows at all, and make bird guns on horses, isn't this nonsense Lao Yu read an online novel, saying that the male protagonist specially crossed to the Bali Bridge battlefield, and defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance with modern command art.To be honest, Lao Yu couldn't stand it anymore.You lead a group of waste who can't fight.,To deal with the Gallic cavalry whose weapons, tactics and martial arts are higher than yours, and the famous pikemen of India in the colonies of the British Empire.,You can't win with any tactics, even if you let the male protagonist travel through two years in advance.,First train the gang of cowards under the monk king to open a hard bow, or you simply move the 100,000 yellow flag elites of Aobai to the end of the Qing Dynasty.,Guarantee that you can beat the Eight-Nation Alliance back to your hometown.,Kill them without leaving a piece of armor So,Monk Grinqin was not defeated by the muskets and cannons of the Eight-Nation Alliance, At that time, its musketeers did not come at all, and fell behind.The monk king was actually defeated in the hands of the opponent's cavalry, and he did not complain at all about the defeat, which has information to check.Why can the elite of the 100,000 Eight Banners defeat Zheng Chenggong's 200,000 cavalry is this reason.Therefore, even if there are muskets and cannons, if Wang Shuo can't do the cavalry, he may not be able to win the Manchu Qing.The phrase "full of more than 10,000 people, invincible in the world" is not unfounded.Wang Shuo won the war, and he also won in the construction of the cavalry.His cavalry, in addition to having the same ability to shoot a hard bow as the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, later had the conditions, he also learned from Europe, and made great improvements to the formation and control techniques of war horses.The Manchurian cavalry fought regardless of it, scattering horses and charging, relying on superb riding and archery skills and brute force.Wang Shuo's cavalry was different, they took the company as a unit, learned the European technology of controlling war horses, and went hand in hand, using collective strength to fight against the Qing cavalry who were accustomed to individual combat, and occupied a great advantage on the battlefield.Although Zheng Chenggong's cavalry was trained by Wang Shuo's officers, the time was too short, and he didn't have time to train the war horses so obediently.This war horse has been teaching it since he was a child, so that he can form a habit.The cavalry itself had to be trained for such a long time that it became an instinct when fighting.Wang Shuo's cavalry against the Manchu cavalry could not be as easy as the Eight-Nation Alliance's defeat of the Monk King's soft and unprofessional cavalry, but it had a relative advantage.Coupled with the power of his musket and cannon, the real elite of the Manchu cavalry could not confront his cavalry, not to mention these mixed amateur cavalry like mixed sauce These mixed sauce cavalry, when they meet Wang Shuo's cavalry, it is like a monk against the Gallic cavalry, which is not a grade at all.Zilharang also knew this, so he did not use the cavalry army to directly confront the Northwest Army, but adopted the guerrilla tactics of reaching into the rear of the Northwest Army.He didn't expect that the Northwest Army started with guerrilla warfare, and you are a student when you play this.In fact, his idea of guerrilla warfare does not correspond to reality, and can only be imagined and talked about on paper.The carrier pigeon is not as magical as it is said in movies and television.It can only be raised in a nest, and it can fly back when it is taken out, but it will not fly out to actively find its owner anyway.Generally, carrier pigeons are not artificially bred from an early age, and they will not know their owners, and outside, what whistle you blow will not work, and it will not fall.At that time, the professional breeding technology was not as advanced as it is now, and it was impossible to get obedient pigeons.Therefore, the Manchu cavalry could only bring a dozen pigeons from the department specializing in raising pigeons in the palace when they were leaving, and if they needed to pass on information, they would let one out.The pigeons that were released had to be unharmed, and they didn't look at other wild pigeons.If it's beaten down for meat, or if it sees a good look, don't expect it to fly back.Zilharang could only get a little bit of cavalry information from the occasional pigeons, but he could not take the initiative to contact the cavalry outside and issue orders.As the dove began to fly back, he knew that his cavalry could not be counted on.Then, the Northwest Army relaunched its offensive, Juyong Pass was lost, and Prince Xuan Manda was killed in battle, and Jierharang was completely desperate and retreated to the city of Beijing, ready to fight to the death for the last time.When he moved the people of the Central Plains, he ordered his soldiers to transport all the grain from the government, shops, and private reserves to Beijing, and build a grain depot on the Yongdao in front of Chengtianmen, so as to store enough grain to eat for at least ten years.Isn't you Wang Shuo powerful, I have food, and strong city walls, I block all the city gates and you rely on you, if you have the ability, you will come in, if you can't get in, I will rely on you, I will rely on you for ten years, I have no problem, you will fight with you in the streets, the soldiers are all gone, I have no choice, I will light the food, and the food will die together, so to speak, he has the determination to die.Of course, it's better to die than to live, and if you Wang Shuo can't get in, I don't have to die.Not only do I not have to die, I still have to live well, waiting for the Qing Dynasty outside the gate to become strong again, and then kill back, and let's fight to the death again:
