Chapter 137 These tiger squat cannons are too evil Morale in ancient battles is very important, but the army of the White Lotus Sect, at this time, is simply a pig teammate, and four or five hundred heads were sent up, and they were cleaned up by the cavalry of the Guanning army.Qin Chengzu's troops, the morale that Quan Xu had finally aroused was most of them at once."
Mr.
Quan, what now?""
Steady!"
Quan Xu also stood and spoke at this time without back pain, he dived into the surface of the river, and the picture of passing back through the drone was like watching a movie, and there was no other feeling.However, Qin Chengzu felt the great pressure brought to him by the more than 6,000 Guan Ning troops."
All the great immortals have an order, stabilize the position, our army will win!""
Victory!"
Accompanied by the sound of a fight between teeth, it was obvious that all the soldiers had no confidence.Everyone has habitual thinking, just like a person likes to eat meat with a knife and fork, he thinks that a knife and fork are better than chopsticks.And we who are used to eating with chopsticks prefer to use chopsticks, feeling that knives and forks are inconvenient.Since the formation of the Guanning Army, the path of field warfare has been almost the same as that of Houjin.However, the will to fight is not as resolute and decisive as Houjin, and it can be regarded as a monkey version of Houjin cavalry.Their habit is actually simple, that is, to feint head-on, and the two wings are roundabout, so that for the Ming army, which is dominated by infantry, there are more victories and fewer defeats.As the so-called one trick is fresh, eat all over the world.The Houjin army basically adopted this move, feinting head-on and attacking from the side.Or a flank feint, a frontal attack.The cavalry of the Guanning Army is also such a routine, due to the flexibility of the cavalry, feints and attacks can be flexibly and mobile at any time.More than 6,000 cavalry and horses, more than 12,000 horses, galloping horses, and the momentum was terrifying.Without personal experience, it is difficult to describe the pressure that these cavalry brought to Qin Chengzu's new army.A force of slaughter and coercion swept in, which made the soldiers under Qin Chengzu's command tremble.The infantry on both flanks were spearmen in front, with swords and shields in second, and coordinated with each other.Obviously, for this kind of hard walnut, unless Guan Ningjun's head is caught by the door, he will take the initiative to exchange his life with the rebels under Qin Chengzu's command.In fact, Qin Chengzu's arrangement is just an illusion, the left and right wings, strong but not strong, if the cavalry of the Guanning army is pressed up and assaults head-on, then it is impossible to stop the Guanning army from breaking the formation just by relying on those thousands of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers.As long as the Guanning army fought with thousands of casualties, it could break through Qin Chengzu's military formation from the left and right flanks.As a private army, the Guan Ning army will not fight hard with Qin Chengzu's command, even if it is three for one, even if it is ten for one, they will lose a lot.Qin Chengzu's front is placed with fifty-two tiger squat cannons and bowls at the upper entrance, such an arrangement, with infantry attack, will definitely suffer heavy casualties, but with cavalry attack, you can achieve the greatest result with the smallest loss.The reason is very simple, the speed of the cavalry is fast, according to the rate of artillery fire of this era, unless it is a Francophone machine and mother cannon, other artillery, there is absolutely no chance of firing a second shot.Fifty-two tiger squat cannons and bowl-mouth guns, and more than 100 shells with a range of two or three hundred paces, how many casualties could the Guanning army cause?
In fact, Wu Sangui and Zu Dabi know very well that there are too few and too little, and they have suffered more than 100 casualties and achieved tens of thousands of beheadings.As long as they annihilate Qin Chengzu, who was in great trouble in Yuan Chonghuan's heart, in one fell swoop, they may receive a greater reward.Quan Xu is actually also gambling, betting on the cleverness of the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army.In fact, known as the last fig leaf of the Qing Dynasty, more than 30,000 men and horses of the Mengman Iron Cavalry fought against the British and French coalition forces under the leadership of Seng Lingqin, and the whole army was annihilated, but it did not attack the front of the British and French coalition forces.During World War II, the Polish hussars could still ride horses and rush in front of the German tank formation, staging the tragedy of cavalry sabers and slashing tanks.So the question is, why did the Polish hussars, a pure cold weapon, rush to the tanks of the German army?
During World War II, the German army was weaker in firepower than the Anglo-French forces in 1860?
In fact, the Houjin military studies were a problem in the womb, they were accustomed to the roundabout means of attack of the cavalry, and they were accustomed to detours when encountering frontal battles.We can make a very simple calculation, the firing range of the rifled guns of the British and French forces is only 200 yards, that is, less than 182 meters, and the calculation of the speed of the war horse charging at 60 kilometers per hour, then it only takes less than two seconds to charge from outside the range of the cavalry, and with the firing rate of the rifled guns at four to six rounds per minute, in fact, the rifled guns can only have time to fire one shot.Then the problem arises, it only takes one decisive charge to launch a decisive charge, and the Anglo-French army will be defeated.However, history has no ifs, and the fig leaf is just a fig leaf, which can only deceive ignorant idiots.According to the records of the missionaries at the time, when he saw the defeat of individual troops, Seng Lingqin panicked and abandoned his subordinates, and he sneaked back to Beijing along the stone road, ordering "the city gate to be closed".Obviously, at this moment, Monk Lingqin has given up the last resistance, and just wants to hide in the high wall to save his life.When the generals fled, the morale of the army naturally collapsed immediately, and defeat was inevitable.Quan Xu is based on his understanding of Houjin, and this Guan Ningjun, who even Houjin does not dare to be tough, is even more of a useless waste.Only then did Quan Xu boldly put on a formation that seemed to be weak on the front, but it was actually strong, and the wings seemed to be strong, but it was actually weak.The cavalry of the Guanning army really did not disappoint Quan Xu, and they did not come up directly to press the whole army, but divided more than 1,000 cavalry to interfere with the two wings.More than 5,000 cavalry pressed on the front."
Gotta ......"
The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and they got closer and closer to the front of the formation.Although Qin Chengzu was also a little nervous, he did not retreat, but shouted hysterically: "All the great immortals bless, our army will win!"
”"All the great immortals bless, our army will win!"
Tens of thousands of horses roared in unison, and the sound was so loud that it spread to Yuan Chonghuan's Chinese army tent seven or eight miles away.Yuan Chonghuan was slightly stunned: "All the great immortals?
Which way is this immortal, when did the White Lotus Sect believe in all the great immortals?
”"This ......"
Zu Dale shook his head: "I don't know!"
”Quan Xu didn't know that Yuan Chonghuan was muttering about him, he took the walkie-talkie and said: "Twelve Hongyi cannons, fire them in turn!"
”"Boom ......boom boom boom" in the artillery without rifles, where the shells can hit, can only be said to be casual.Twelve shells fell in the cavalry formation of the Guanning army, causing dozens of cavalry to fall from their horses, and for the main force of more than 5,000 people, these losses were expected.The speed of the cavalry of the Guanning army is getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides is within two hundred steps, and the cavalry of the Guanning army will step on Yuan Chengzu's forward position in a period of more than ten breaths.Quan Xu ordered: "The tiger squat cannon is ready, and the fuse is only three inches left!"
”The tiger squat cannon is in Quan Xu's heart, it can't be regarded as a cannon, it can only be barely regarded as an extra-large shotgun, which originally fired two and a half pounds of iron balls, was replaced by iron sand and steel balls by Quan Xu, as long as it is fired, this tiger squat cannon will form a scattering surface of eight to fifteen meters, and at least seven or eight hundred grains of iron sand will fly out.The same goes for bowls.The range of cavalry bows and arrows is actually very limited, about fifty paces.The cavalry of the Guanning army did not release arrows, and they could not shoot into the opponent's formation."
Two hundred steps!""
One hundred and fifty steps!""
One hundred steps!""
Eighty steps!"
The cavalry of the Guanning Army, who were charging on horseback, drew their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot arrows.Quan Xu took the walkie-talkie and said: "Tiger squat cannon, bowl mouth gun, fire!"
”The artillerymen, with torches in hand, immediately lit the fuses with their torches.The fuse, which was only three inches, burned rapidly, and after a breath."
Knock knock ......"
With a dull sound of cannons, these Guanning cavalrymen turned on their backs, and almost the entire vanguard of the Guan's cavalry attacking force was swept away.Due to the scattered bullets fired by the Tiger Squat Cannon, the power is actually limited, and many cavalry men or horses of the Guanning Army are bleeding profusely, but they will not be able to die for a while and a half.These cavalry soldiers of the Guanning Army were lying on the ground screaming in pain.The cavalry behind couldn't hold back, so they could only step on their horses and step on their comrades who fell to the ground in front.For a while, you hugged me and squeezed into a mess.Without Quan Xu commanding again, Qin Chengzu immediately decided: "Fire fire!"
”At this time, due to the wounded cavalry or war horses, the Guanning army behind could not step forward at all, so they could only stare dryly and be anxious.There were actually not many musketeers under Qin Chengzu's command, only five or six hundred."
Bang bang ......"
As the musketeers fired, Qin Chengzu's formation immediately resounded with a scream, and more than a dozen musketeers were covered in blood."
I'll go!"
Quan Xu was so angry that he wanted to curse, Qin Chengzu's muskets were all captured from the hands of the officials and soldiers, and the explosion rate was so high.However, there were more cavalrymen of the Guanning Army who were shot.In just half a pillar of incense, Guan Junqi was defeated and retreated.Throw at least a thousand cavalry in front of the formation.The cavalry of the Guanning Army, which was invincible, fell in front of the battle, and at this time, in Qin Chengzu's army, the originally low morale finally recovered."
Kill them all!"
The sword and shield soldiers under the command of Qin Chengzu stepped forward one after another, beat the water dogs, and hacked the wounded Guanning cavalry to death, and the other Guanning cavalry were so frightened that they hurriedly raised their hands and surrendered.Through the drone picture, Quan Xu sighed slightly."
It's a big loss!"
Only more than 300 horses were captured, most of them were wounded, and I don't know how many of them can be used as war horses."
All the great immortals bless, our army will win!"
The morale of Qin Chengzu's subordinates was like a rainbow, and the excitement was so great that the soldiers forgot their fear of the Guanning army.Wu Sangui relied on the shadow of the door and gave the commander of the capital governor, and led the troops to fight for the first time, originally he wanted to brush up the battle record, but he never thought that the battle record was not brushed, but his face was lost, and he yelled angrily: "Press the whole army on me!"
”"Major General, no, you can't fight like this!"
Wu Sangui was actually just pretending, mainly for Yuan Chonghuan to see.This artillery fire scared him enough, as a disciple of the general, how could he not have seen artillery, but he didn't expect that the rebels would actually know how to demons, and one cannon could knock down more than a dozen people.These tiger squat cannons are really evil.PS: Wait a minute or there will be another chapter.It is estimated that it will be a little later.
