The Ming army has been in battle for a long time, and it has long been very proficient in the changes of various military formations.Wu Sangui's analysis is indeed correct, Zhao Ming's strategy is to drive him into the icy Yellow River.To achieve this, it is to defeat the Zhou army with a strong frontal firepower output, and the large army is pressed horizontally, forcing the Zhou army into a desperate situation little by little.Wu Sangui saw through this and knew that the firepower of the Zhou army's infantry army must not be the opponent of the Ming army in the confrontation, so he did not send the infantry army to the top to conduct a gun battle, but used cavalry to directly launch a charge like Mount Tai.The strategy of the Ming army was established, and the tactics had already been drawn up, and it was only necessary to change the military formation according to the situation.When the enemy infantry pressed up, they fired at each other in a horizontal formation, crushing the enemy infantry head-on.If it is a cavalry raid, then form a hollow phalanx.It's not that Zhao Ming is bragging, it's a gun fight, and everyone here is garbage.Zhao Ming's musketeers, in the shooting, have never lost, the Ming army tens of thousands of flintlock muskets, looking at the world, no country has such strength.Wu Sangui knew that he couldn't shoot Zhao Ming, so he chose a cavalry assault.The military formation of the Ming army is mainly a horizontal formation and a phalanx, and the conversion of the two is a matter of a few minutes.Facing the rushing cavalry of the Zhou army, the bronze artillery in front of the Ming army, after the ammunition was loaded, the gunner holding the torch first lit the fuse.With a "boom" sound, the cannon body retreated sharply, raising a cloud of gunsmoke, and the cannonball whistled out, flashing in the air, and falling into the enemy's horses.When a puff of earth and stone was raised in the herd of Zhou horses, around the splashed mud pillar, the war horses neighed, and the cavalry was thrown off their horses and fell to the ground.The Ming army was lightly armed, but it only carried a field bronze cannon that could follow the rapid maneuver of the army, and did not carry heavy artillery, and the shells fired by this bronze artillery were only about three or four catties, and they could not fire flowering shells, so the cavalry of the Zhou army was not greatly affected.Thirty thousand iron horsemen galloped by the splashed mud pillars, and under the trampling of tens of thousands of horses' hooves, the earth was trembling, and the Ming army's musket array in front of them was also trembling.Under the banner of Zhou Jun Daxu, Wu Sangui held his breath and concentrated, "Zhao Zamao's fight is nothing more than firearms."
Today, this king teaches him to be a man, and he knows that firearms are not omnipotent!
Rushing to kill on the battlefield still depends on the courage of the soldiers. ”Seeing that the cavalry of the Zhou army was like a monstrous wave, hitting head-on, the momentum was terrifying, and the soldiers in front of the Ming army hurriedly lit the rocket car."
Whoosh" nearly a thousand rockets, swooping up, screaming, dragging a long trail, shot into the enemy group, the cavalry of the Zhou army howled and neighed, and fell from the horse again and again.Under the banner of the Zhou army, Wu Sangui's face was gloomy, but these were all small skills of carving insects, and he played the rest of the tricks in Liaodong, and he could not affect the charge of the elite cavalry.Sure enough, the cavalry of the Zhou army continued to gallop, rushed out of the smoke belt, and continued to rush forward.Wu Sangui couldn't help but wave his hand and shouted, "The Great Zhou Iron Cavalry rushed over to win!"
”Under the banner of the Ming Army, Zhao Ming calmly raised his hand, and the flag waved behind him."
Oh, hey, hey!"
The drummers roared and beat the drums of war."
Aim!"
Before the first horizontal formation, the officers heard the trumpets and drums of the Chinese army and shouted orders.The whistle sounded in the middle of the formation, and the soldiers raised their muskets, aimed sideways, and broke the hammer, and there was a "click" sound.Wu Guozhu led the cavalry of the Zhou army, dodged the artillery bombardment of the Ming army, passed through the smoke belt caused by the rocket, and entered the range of the musket.However, the cavalry of the Zhou army was not afraid, because according to experience, although the musket was powerful, it should be close to the enemy with three or four shots at most.Zhao Ming waved his hand down, and a long suona sounded."
Shoot!"
The Ming generals shouted."
Bang bang bang" the Ming army front, and the guns rang out like thunderbolts.The musketeers pulled the trigger in unison, and with a "click" of the hammer, the musket shook backwards, and the muzzle of the gun spewed out a foot-long flame, raising clouds of white smoke.The smoke ribbon spread from the middle of the formation to the wings, and instantly in the front, forming a white smoke belt that was several miles long.Countless projectiles roared out and shot at enemy riders at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye!
The horses neighed, the cavalry howled, and the cavalry that rushed to the front fell in response!
The horse struck by the musket rose into the air, shook off the knight, and slammed into the ground, rolling and screaming.After the first column of musketeers of the Ming army finished shooting, they immediately retreated, the second column stepped forward, and then the third column fired in turn, the movements were neat and uniform, and everyone had no superfluous movements, showing the elite of the musketeers of the Ming army.The musketeers aimed at the horses of the Zhou army, and the projectiles brought gusts of wind, and for a time, countless war horses fell, and the cavalry was thrown out.Wu Sangui saw this pain for a while, every cavalry of the Zhou army was his hard work, the value of a cavalry was better than five infantry, and now he was using the lives of the cavalry, intending to exchange the lives of cheap musketeers under the command of Zhao Zamao.Under the firing of the platoon guns, the cavalry of the Zhou army fell to the ground like a date, but the elite cavalry, still rumbling with hooves, quickly narrowed the distance between the two armies, and was already about to rush into the Ming army line.At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand again, and the trumpet of the Chinese army sounded, just when the cavalry of the Zhou army was about to collide, the musketeers of the Ming army, but stopped shooting, and took the division as a unit, and moved closer to the middle, making a huge gap between the divisions.The musketeers of the Ming army, standing together with people, stabbed obliquely with bayonets, forming a solid phalanx.The corners of Wu Sangui's mouth twitched, and he saw the cavalry of the Zhou army, pouring in from the gap between the Ming army's horizontal formations, and pouring into the Ming army's formation from the first line of defense.Zhao Ming waved his hand calmly, and the second front of the Ming army immediately moved.The perennial conquest made the Ming army very proficient in formation, and Zhao Ming could basically do it like an arm, and more than 100,000 troops commanded it, just like a person.After the first front, the second front was six rows of heavily armored infantry troops armed with eight spears.At this time, when he heard the order of the Chinese army, he saw the heavily armored infantry army, all of whom put down the spears erected, and stabbed obliquely to take the initiative to meet the Qing cavalry that rushed towards them.The cavalry of the Qing army, who had just poured into the big array, had no time to rejoice, when they saw a forest of sharp spears appearing in front of them.The spears of the Ming army are longer than the cavalry spears of the vast majority of cavalry, which means that when the cavalry rushes over, they must be stabbed off their horses by the spears of the Ming army first."
Muskets!
Bow and arrow!
”In the middle of the Mercedes-Benz, Wu Guozhu roared loudly.The cavalry of the Zhou army naturally had a set of methods for attacking the infantry formation, only to see the musketeers galloping forward, and shooting in unison during the gallop, and in the "bang, bang" gunfire, the spearmen in the front row fell to the ground one after another.The Mongolian light cavalry, galloping forward, opened their bows and shots, and a field of flying locusts fell into the spear array, and the cavalry immediately pulled out their horses and scattered to the left and right flanks."
Heavy Rider Impact!"
Wu Guozhu raised his spear and roared angrily.The heavier cavalry, which was slower and rushed behind, then the light cavalry split its wings and crashed directly into the disrupted array of spears.I have to admit that the cavalry of the Zhou army still had a brush, and the cavalry crashed into the gun array, except for the one in front who was stabbed to death, the one behind actually fought hard and smashed through the Ming army line."
Good!"
Wu Sangui saw the excited fist.However, the cavalry of the Zhou army, who broke through the gun array, found that what was waiting for them was not the Ming army waiting to be slaughtered, but dozens of formations that had changed into hollow arrays."
Bang bang bang" In the hollow phalanx of the Ming army, muskets were fired, and the cavalry of the Zhou army who entered the battle fell from their horses one after another, and Wu Sangui changed color.This kind of formation was very restrained for the cavalry, and as soon as Wu Guozhu's cavalry entered the battle, they suffered heavy casualties and fell into a predicament.Under the banner of the Zhou army, the generals of the Wu army couldn't help but feel a commotion when they saw the cavalry falling from their horses one after another.Wu Sangui's face sank like water, and he suddenly screamed angrily, "Ah!
”The cavalry was trapped, and he couldn't help it, giving up was tantamount to admitting defeat, and to break the hollow phalanx, he could only rely on the infantry musket to shoot, Wu Sangui pulled out his horse and stepped forward, waving his hand angrily and shouting, "The infantry army presses up!"
”Although the musketeers of the Zhou army were not as good as those of the Ming army, this did not mean that Wu Sangui did not attach importance to muskets.On the contrary, the Zhou army had a musketeer corps that was strong enough to dominate the northwest, and as soon as the military order was issued, the Zhou musketeers carried the muskets and pressed forward layer by layer.At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand again when he saw this, and saw the musketeers of the first line of the Ming army, and in the sound of trumpets and drums, each squad stretched to the left and right, and instantly formed a line of infantry army that was several miles long.Seeing this, Wu Sangui was almost mad, but at this time, he could only hope that the Zhou army musketeers could defeat the Ming army musketeers and press the Ming army's hollow formation."
Bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang" The musketeers of the two armies opened fire almost at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides fell to the ground like mowing grass, but the Zhou musketeers, whether in training, or will and firearms, were inferior to the Ming army, and the shooting speed was obviously half a beat slower.After three rounds of fire, the front row of the Zhou musketeers was empty, and the entire front was shaken.Wu Sangui was restless, he pulled the reins of his horse, and several times wanted to make a desperate bet and press all his forces.At this time, he saw the musket line loosening, and finally gritted his teeth and roared with all his might, "Charge with this king!"
”He was about to rush out with a whip, but was grabbed by Hong Chengchou and said urgently: "Your Majesty, you can't be impulsive!"
If you rush again, you'll lose it all!
