Chapter 535: Battle

Half an hour later, the Jianlu army suddenly boiled like water and launched a large attack. The Jianlu established a stable camp, stood up and attacked in large numbers. The central infantry pushed forward, and the cavalry spread to the two wings, setting off a three-sided side.

The siege is fierce. The meat grinder tactics carefully created by Macheng once again demonstrated the true nature of the flesh and blood plate. Jianlu also learned his lesson and no longer attacked head-only, but instead held up the infantry front-on, gathering a large number of cavalry on both sides to try to break through.

.

The tactics of infantry and cavalry coordination have been similar throughout the ages, with infantry holding on to it and cavalry breaking through.

In theory, Huang Taiji still has some military talent. Jianlu's tactics have developed to this day, and it has become a coordinated system of infantry, cavalry and cannons. First, bombard with cannons, then use cavalry to chop, and then charge infantry to kill. This set of tactics is extremely effective in this era.

It is effective. However, the eight banner masters who have always been arrogant disdain to join Han army slaves. They often launch a group of charges without waiting for the cannons to be ready, which makes Huang Taiji helpless, and there is no way to talk about the coordination between infantry, cavalry and cannons.

The elite troops of the Eight Banners launched a large-scale move and surrounded the two wings of the Ming army's position, hoping to break through with one move.

Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry had no choice but to avoid this battle and met it. The two sides had more than 30,000 cavalry. They fought in a group of squads on the west bank of the Hunhe River, which was five miles deep and ten miles wide. As soon as they started fighting, they sparked sparks.

The arrows were raised like locusts, and the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, which used a large number of hand guns and crossbows, and passed by the Eight Banners of the Later Jin who used a large number of bows, and shot against each other. The cavalry who fell from both sides landed on the ground like dumplings.

In one encounter, the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, with a small number of people, fell at a disadvantage, and fought and retreated in groups to the northwest. The Eight Banners soldiers fought the horses very quickly, rolling on the horse's back, shouting, and also heading to the northwest in groups.

The two cavalry troops ran farther and farther away from the battlefield. Huang Taiji's eyes turned black and he coughed violently. These brainless dog slaves became hot when they fought. The Ming army clearly tempted the enemy, so they were tempted by the enemy.

Ten thousand cavalry lured 20,000 cavalry out of the battlefield, but those brainless Zhang Jing, Zuo Ling, were deceived.

Huang Taiji was also experienced many battles and gritted his teeth and ordered that the horns should not be blown away.

The two cavalry troops were entangled together. At this time, they must not whistle the horn to withdraw the troops. It would bring great chaos and unnecessary losses. The 20,000 Eight Banners were already red in their eyes and bit the Ming army.

The cavalry roared to the northwest and began a cavalry chase battle. But the Mongolian horse was not good at crossing the Mongolian horse, and the explosive power was far inferior to that of the Ming army's Tibetan horse. They couldn't shoot people after chasing behind, and they ate a mouthful of soil for nothing.

On the contrary, the Ming cavalry was extremely arrogant. Relying on the strong short-range explosive power of Tibetan horses, they always circled back in groups to fight a counterattack. Every counterattack would bite a piece of meat on the Eight Banners soldiers.

When the Ming army commander camp, Ma Cheng laughed at this.

War is not a computer game, cavalry wars cannot be won with more people. We must also consider the quality of war horses, soldiers, and weapons. Ten thousand cavalry is facing 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers, and they may not fall even if they fight and retreat while fighting.

Feng, this is also because Macheng insists on using tall Tibetan horses as the main force of war horses, which has steadily suppressed the Eight Banners soldiers and has gained the upper hand in cavalry wars many times. The so-called military value is more important than elite power, and cavalry wars are even more so.

This move was learned from the Mongols and was sold now. The two-wing cavalry could not count on it for a while. Huang Taiji ordered the subordinates who were running farther and farther away, and urged the Han army in the rear team.

Speed ​​up the transport of cannons. After fighting with Kaiyuan Town Army for so many years, the Beile man had learned his good deeds and no longer rushed towards Kaiyuan Town Army head-on, but patiently looked for fighter planes and waited for the Han army's cannons

Arrive on the battlefield.

In the Ming army commander camp, Chen Liang put down the Qianli Miles Miles and was slightly surprised: "Jianlu, are you no more anxious?"

Ma Cheng sneered: "If you suffer too much, you will naturally learn your lesson."

Jianlu no longer fought hard after learning his lesson, but instead stood up to face off and patiently looked for fighter jets. Two days later, the slow-moving Han army artillery team finally arrived. Under the scolding of his master, various cannons were set up along the river. From the thousand-jin Buddha The Langji went to the new Red and Barbarians to run in a row, and the number was also extremely amazing, with the number of sight exceeding 100. The soldiers on the front line of the Ming army were a little panicked, and the shocking power brought by more than 100 cannons was still extremely amazing.

Ma Cheng frowned and ordered four artillery whistles to push the cannon to the forefront. Bang it.

The four artillery whistles were very fast. The cow and horse dragged down twenty-four bronze smoothbore cannons and pushed them to the front. After two test shots, the scale was adjusted and the Han army artillery team was bombarded in an endless stream. After a burst of muffled thunder, Amid the sharp whistling sound, the front line was equipped with smooth-bore cannons, and the front line was sharp in the artillery battle. When the six-pound smooth-bore cannons equipped by Kaiyuan Town Army bombarded the stationary target, their power increased ten times or a hundred times.

The whistling shells flew across the Hun River and roared into the dense areas of Han army gunners.

The extremely miserable state made Macheng feel like time and space traveling. This seemed to be a replica of the Qing artillery team in later generations, ravaged by Western cannons. Jianlu had no R&D capabilities, Jianlu started his business immediately, and all firearms and cannons were captured. Since the Ming army naturally equipped a large number of Franco cannons. The fatal range disadvantage of Franco cannons was completely exposed in this artillery battle. Franco cannons had almost no power to fight back against the bombardment of the front-mounted smoothbore cannon.

The cannons roared, and the Han army artillery team, which was in chaos, began to fight back.

So a very tragic scene appeared in front of the two armies. The front-mounted smoothbore cannon of the Ming army was like a roar of thunder. Every cannon must be thunderous. The long gun barrel shocked and the smoke rose. The front-mounted cannon dedicated to direct aiming and shooting showed Its unique power in artillery battles, and each cannon smashed the Han army's artillery team and overturned the horse. The Han army's large number of Fran machine cannons were installed with sub-guns to fire and fire together, and the shells flew crookedly. After going out, many shells hit the Hunhe River.

The artillery battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and it ended with the defeat of the Han artillery team. The Ming army's gunners still refused to give up. They cooled the cannon and continued to push forward. They even launched artillery ten miles away, and several rounds of artillery fire reached the Eight Banners. Going into the camp. With the roaring cannons, the Eight Banners' Army had to retreat ten miles and retreat far beyond the range of the Ming army's artillery fire. On the east bank of the river, the Han army artillery team that had been ravaged by the Ming army's artillery fire were everywhere Overturned cannons, flatteries, corpses.

The corpses still emitting blue smoke covered the river bank. A large number of Fran machine cannons fell over powerlessly. The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the enemy army jumped to their feet. At this time, a sudden shocking sound was made, and the Han army artillery team bombarded by the cannons. On the position, a small mushroom cloud slowly rose. Gunpowder exploded, and another handful of salt was sprinkled on the Han artillery team, and a large number of untreated wounded soldiers were killed on the river bank, and no one was left behind. Treatment.
