Chapter 102: To Die
The Chongqing Battle has been completed, but the defenders in Chengdu do not know the situation in the rear base.
The Chengdu defenders were already surrounded and couldn't even fly out. They were busy with something.
Do war.
Fight against the invading enemies under the city.
The way they chose was to fight each other.
Apart from fighting to the death, the Xia army, which had never fought a large battle, had no other choice.
At this time, Dai Shou and Wu Youren, who were in Chengdu, did not have a good life, because Fu Youde's march was too fast, and before they could make any arrangements, Fu Youde's troops surrounded Chengdu and launched a fierce attack.
Fu Youde, who attacked head-on, was not easy either.
In the past, when he and the Yuan army were fighting, they often used cavalry to fight cavalry. Infantry fought infantry, and artillery made fire on both sides. The enemy reinforced the artillery to the opposite side. Although it was hard, at least there were rules and regulations to follow and plan to implement.
But he was in trouble for the first time in the issue of this lonely city in Chengdu.
Because this time he will no longer face confrontation between people.
Instead, it changed the group.
Become a group of real animals.
Moreover, this group of animals allowed me to appreciate the tall and mighty existence for the first time.
Since joining the army, he has never fought with this group of animals with absolutely strong and extremely large size.
They are not donkeys, nor are they horses.
But they are hundreds and thousands of times stronger than horses and donkeys. If they kick them, they will suffer casualties and injuries.
They are a group of real beasts.
In the island country cartoon, Shin-shin has an image name for them: why is your nose so long?
Their name is: Elephant.
A group of elephants whose weight is strong and human bodies cannot compete with it.
Their real origin does not come from Sichuan, but from Yunnan not far away.
At that time, Ming Yuzhen fought with the Liang King in Yunnan, and Ming Yuzhen, who was in a strong position, got a lot of benefits from the Liang King, and the elephant was one of them.
When Ming Yuzhen discovered that this group of animals could play a very powerful and powerful military role in fighting, he raised the group of elephants, gave them good grass and materials every day, and gave them sufficient nutrition, hoping that they would come in handy on the battlefield in the future.
It was indeed not disappointing Ming Yuzhen. Although the elephants he had worked hard to snatch did not see their performance on the battlefield with his own eyes, he fulfilled his son.
It is time for them to raise troops for a thousand days. Now it is time for them to go on stage.
Faced with these absolutely brave and invincible animals, Fu Youde, as the head coach, truly experienced the difficulties.
If he wants to fight with others, he can get it right.
But he had no countermeasures when fighting with a group of completely inhuman animals.
He tried to let his soldiers stab the elephant in the waist with a spear, but before he could get close, the group of animals flew away with the noses, and his men flew out like paper.
He also asked someone to use a big knife to cut the ankles of the group of elephants, but when the elephants raised their feet, they became a group of persimmon cakes before their subordinates could react.
A group of persimmon cakes that are vague but dead but cannot die anymore.
These elephants were too fierce to beat them.
What should I do?
Seeing countless soldiers killed and injured, Fu Youde was in trouble for the first time facing these elephants who stepped on a large piece and kicked a company of elephants.
When facing difficulties, many of us often choose to escape, trying to avoid problems with escape. It can be summarized in a classic word, called "get through the trash".
But there is a group of people who often don’t do this. No matter how difficult the problem is, they will face it. They will use their own practical actions to tell us a truth.
The most difficult thing in the world is just the human heart.
Except for the people's hearts, everything else is nonsense.
As long as you are not afraid of difficulties, even the hardest problems can be solved.
Fu Youde is obviously a person of this kind, and he is also the best among these people.
On the issue of elephant, Fu Youde showed his extraordinary courage as a warrior.
He carefully studied the weaknesses of elephants, and he found that the usual combat strategies used to deal with these elephants could not be adopted, nor could he use melee strategies.
Melee combat is equivalent to suicide.
Dealing with them is only suitable for long attacks.
So he asked the soldiers to take out the only weapon in their hands that was suitable for long-distance attacks.
Musket.
Those who have read the previous content should know that the muskets at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were far less useful than our current pistols. If you want to use it, at least three people need to cooperate. One person is responsible for using his or her body or arm in the front, one person is responsible for installing **, and the other person is responsible for aiming and firing behind.
This faces a big problem. Its speed and frequency of use will not be too high, or even very low, and it also has a fatal flaw. If it is not done well, it will cause a rumor, which is what we commonly call self-exposing.
This is also the reason why many Ming soldiers equipped muskets at that time, but the usage rate was very low.
It is too troublesome to use, and its aiming rate is too low and its lethality is average. If it is not easy to make trouble, it will protect itself. These fatal shortcomings seriously restrict its development.
If the musket is in close combat, it is still lethal, even if you fight blindly, you can kill all of them.
But there is another fatal problem here.
It's too slow.
Compared with the blade, musket speed does not have any advantage at all.
If you use a musket to fight against the enemy in front of you, before your ** is loaded, the opponent's knife has already arrived in front of you. This kind of fish-like method is not much different from suicide.
In the chaos at that time, anyone with a little brain would rather choose a knife to cut against the enemy than choose a weapon like a musket that is both stupid and extremely lethal.
However, when dealing with elephants, Fu Youde fully explored the advantages of muskets, because there is no need to aim at the elephants. The elephants' size and huge body are a huge living target, and they are slow and cannot compare with humans. If people are anxious, they can find a way to avoid it. However, these guys have no place to hide, so they can only use their bodies to get shot.
Fu Youde had nothing to do, he just needed to load the bullet and load it and pull the trigger, and he didn't have to worry about the bullet falling out.
After discovering this benefit, Fu Youde asked some people to be responsible for the fire of muskets, and also asked a group of people to hold powerful crossbows (stolen from Yuan soldiers) to be responsible for cover.
The two sides cooperate closely.
Faced with Fu Youde's strategy of long-distance attack, the elephants of Xia Kingdom used their practical actions to tell us a truth.
Livestock are also afraid of pain.
