The Tiger Guards waited intently on the enemy, without the slightest panic, let alone slackening, everyone stared at the front with round eyes, just waiting for the enemy to attack."
Knock knock!"
The war drums sounded in the shocking place, and I saw a soldier in armor holding a drumstick in his hand, beating the drum to boost morale.The morale of the Tiger Guards was already good, and when the drums sounded, the momentum suddenly soared, and a drum of fighting spirit rushed up."
Ride the archers, prepare!"
Huang Degong rode on horseback, looked ahead, and gave a loud order.At the sound of the order, the two hundred cavalry archers immediately waited solemnly, holding three stone riding bows, ready to release arrows.As long as Huang Degong gives an order, he will shoot arrows and kill him."
Put!"
Huang Degong ordered loudly, and a roar was like thunder."
Woohoo!"
The sound of breaking through the air was loud, and half of the archers fired, and a hundred arrows broke the barrier of air and shot forward.On the battlefield, you can't let the arrows have gaps, and you must keep the enemy covered by the rain of arrows, otherwise, you are giving the enemy a chance.Therefore, Huang Degong divided the two hundred cavalry archers into two parts, one with arrows and the other with arrows, so that there would be no gaps, and the enemy was always under the blow of arrows, and every step forward had to pay a heavy price.Ancient China had a large number of strong bows, which was a powerful weapon in ancient China, and the long-range lethality of the ancient Chinese army was quite terrifying, and it reached an astonishing height during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties.It's a pity that although the Ming Dynasty had a sharp weapon like a divine arm crossbow, it was useless.One of the most important manifestations is the waste of fighters.Whenever the enemy charges at the time of battle, whether the Ming army uses the divine arm crossbow to shoot, not by the accurate judgment of the generals, but when the enemy charges almost enough, try to shoot an arrow with the divine arm crossbow, if an arrow can penetrate the enemy formation, and then use the divine arm crossbow to shoot and kill.The consequence of this is a waste of fighters, and this test launch is an opportunity for an arrow, not to mention, to penetrate the enemy's formation, how many fighters are there?
The use of every weapon is like this, which shows how serious the waste of fighters in the Ming Dynasty was.Therefore, when the Ming army fought a war, it was often "only three or four rounds in front of the enemy", and the enemy rushed to the front and engaged in short-handed combat.With powerful long-range weapons, but unable to exert their power, it is too difficult for the Ming army to win the battle.Of course, Huang Degong would not make such a low-level mistake, his command is all based on judgment, if he can't even judge this distance, he can only call a rice bucket, a pig who wastes grain.Estimating, the enemy rushed to a distance of 330 paces, Huang Degong ordered the arrow to be released, only to see an arrow appear in the air, densely packed, facing the enemy as a hood.The place where it landed was almost two hundred and eighty paces, which was exactly the distance that the archers could most effectively kill.If the enemy charges with cavalry, he will fire his arrows at a distance of three hundred and thirty paces, and by the time the arrows come, the enemy will have almost rushed to two hundred and ten paces, and the judgment is accurate."
Put!"
Huang Degong gave another order, and the archer who had spared the arrow squatted down and began to load the arrow.The archers in the second row began to release arrows.The second row of archers finished releasing the arrows, and the third row of archers continued to release the arrows.The archers in the third row finished releasing the arrows, and the archers in the first row released the arrows again.In this way, again and again, I saw the arrows in the air appear one after another, and they will cover the enemy, and they will never stop.It wasn't until the enemy rushed to the range of the arrow that Huang Degong gave a loud order: "Arrow, prepare!"
Put!
”Take off your bow, mount your arrow, and shoot forward.At the same time, there were also pure heavy armored cavalry, and the eight hundred tiger guards all opened their bows and arrows, and the arrows were even more dense.If it were on a real battlefield, in the face of such a dense rain of arrows, the enemy would definitely pay a heavy price.Everyone in the Tiger Guards must be able to shoot arrows, to be able to ride horses, to be able to fight, such a distance, is the effective range of bows and arrows, no one is far behind, a rain of arrows passed, the ground was dense, there were arrows everywhere, at first glance, it was very spectacular."
Horse lance, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Huang Degong gave the order at the right time, and the cavalry archer collected the arrows, held the horse lance, and prepared to charge.The eight hundred tiger guards lined up in a row, holding the horse lance, like a lance wall, and it looked very terrifying.The lance sparkles in the sun, like the claws of a tiger, ready to strike at any time.Seeing that it was almost over, Huang Degong ordered again: "Thunderbolt, prepare!"
”The archers immediately collected their arrows, held their thunderbolts, and prepared to throw."
Throw!"
Huang Degong gave an order, and saw countless thunderbolts woven into a giant and thrown towards the front."
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
”One after another loud noises came, and one after another firelight flashed, sand and stones, and dust flying, so terrifying.The thunderbolt bomb used today is a thunderbolt made by Jiang Chuhan specially handed over to the drawings of the Hanlin Academy, and after the improvement of the Hanlin Academy, it no longer uses the method of ignition, but uses automatic firing equipment, which is not much different from modern bombs.More importantly, the gunpowder--formula-formula is already the most powerful to use, and this explosion is louder and even more powerful, and when it calms down, I see the craters on the ground one by one, dense, very scary.It's just that the officials of the Ming Dynasty have outdated thinking, so this new and improved thunderbolt has been the thing at the bottom of the box since it was developed, and it has never been seen before, and this time Jiang Chuhan specially went to the Hanlin Academy to help Huang Degong improve his combat effectiveness, and only a few thousand pieces were equipped for Huang Degong."
Phew!"
Although it was a martial arts exercise, there could be no abnormal movement, but after seeing the situation on the ground, the military officials in the stands still couldn't help but gasp.With such a powerful thunderbolt, how many enemies will it kill?
If it were on the battlefield, if nothing else, this round of bombing alone would have caused heavy casualties to the enemy."
Thunderball, throw!"
Huang Degong didn't stop at all, and then ordered, another thunderbolt was thrown, and after the alarming explosion, there were many more craters on the ground."
Cavalry, lance, ready, stab!!"
Huang Degong estimated that the enemy had rushed closer, and gave a loud order, and the horse lances in the hands of the cavalry were raised high and stabbed down fiercely, as if a wall of lances had smashed down against the enemy.A dazzling light appeared, so that people's eyes could not be opened, and the eight hundred horse lances were like a huge mirror, reflecting the light."
Hack!
Chop!
”Huang Degong kept giving orders, and the cavalry picked up their horse lances again and again, stabbing them fiercely, and each time they stabbed, they had the power of a landslide and a crack.If it is on the battlefield, there is certainly no bloody body that can resist it, whether it is a man or a horse, if you are next to it, you will be injured, and if you touch it, you will die, and you will never survive.Moreover, in front of such a dense array of horses, even if they die, they will not feel good, and they will be stabbed into a hornet's nest."
Cavalry!
Sortie!
”Huang Degong ordered loudly again.On the battlefield, we should pay attention to coordination, and all arms of the armed forces should be coordinated, and there should not be only one branch of the armed forces.After the killing of long-range sharp weapons such as breaking and arrows, the enemy must have suffered casualties.If there are thunderbolts to bombard, the enemy's casualties will be higher, and the horses will be dispatched, and it will already be the last battle.At this time, cavalry is needed to cooperate, to charge, to disrupt the enemy's position, to give the enemy the final blow.The 800 cavalry divided into two directions and rushed towards the enemy's rear from the left and right, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, splashing large clouds of smoke and dust, like angry dragons, straight into the enemy's rear, and soon closed.In the course of the charge, the cavalry first shot with crossbows and then arrows.When he entered the range of close combat, he took a lance and rushed at the enemy, and eight hundred horse lances were like eight hundred poisonous snakes, and the shining tips were like the snake letters of poisonous snakes, and they wanted to choose people to devour.After the long lance, it is the captive knife, although there is no enemy, the soldiers are still in accordance with the way of the enemy, the slashing is extremely fierce, every time the knife is raised, it will burst out with a dazzling light.The sound of hooves is like thunder, people shouting and neighing, and the sword light flashes, and there is a fierce atmosphere on the battlefield, which makes people's blood boil."
Kill!"
Huang Degong fiercely pulled out his captive knife and waved it forward, and the cavalrymen stepped forward with their horse lances and began the final charge.Immediately after that, the cavalry archers, who lowered their bows and arrows, brandished their swords, joined the charge with the cavalry.When the battle is fought, it is quite close to victory, there is no need to defend, you just need to rush and kill with all your strength and give the enemy the final blow.The Eight Hundred Tiger Guards were like tigers descending from the mountains, rushing and killing all over the mountains, and the momentum was terrifying.Looking at the Tiger Guards rushing around, Huang Degong was very satisfied, these efforts were not in vain, and today's verification has achieved good results.The Ming army was no longer the same as before, and could only be beaten passively and could not fight back.In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that in the past few years, almost none of the soldiers of the Tiger Guard have never slept, and they have practiced day and night before they have finally become what they are today.In just a few moments, Huang Degong has achieved such a degree, although the performance in many places cannot be called elite, but in comparison, it is already quite a good performance.In the past, the Ming army had several shortcomings, one was that there was no cavalry, and it could not launch a counterattack in a timely manner, so it could only be beaten passively.Once the enemy's attack is unfavorable, you can take advantage of the cavalry's rapid mobility ability to quickly break away from the battle, retreat to a safe place, and reorganize the formation.Then, then calmly attack.This kind of thing, throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were also examples of using infantry to defeat cavalry, but there were not many, more failures.Now the Tiger Guard, with cavalry, horses, and thunderbolts, is very powerful in its counterattack.It is conceivable that if the Tatar army is encountered on the battlefield, it will no longer be as before, only being beaten, and will seize all the fighters and counterattack.Second, the Ming army used weapons in a lawless manner, and did not bring into full play the power of weapons.This is best exemplified by the use of the Ming army, and now, Huang Degong has changed that.The third is that the training of the Ming Dynasty was inadequate, merely ornamental, and there were many shows, which was not suitable for war.After Huang Degong's training, the combat strength of the Tiger Guards is very strong, and once it counterattacks, it will be alarming, and it will be difficult for the Tatar army to parry. ......
