Chapter 212: Swear to sweep Japanese slaves
"Dong...dong...dongdong...dongdong..."
The deafening drum sounded constantly, and in conjunction with the drum sounded, teams of Ming troops drove into the battlefield in neat steps.
"Where did the Ming army come from? How dare they...how dare they come here at this time?"
Dai Shan, who was standing on a high place to look at the battlefield, couldn't believe his eyes. He didn't care about being surprised and quickly snatched Qianlijing from the hand of a Goshha next to him and started watching.
Nowadays, the maximum multiplier of the Qianli Mirror in this era is only four times, and the scenery you see is also distorted, but it is not something that the Ming craftsmen can do. It is entirely flowing from the West and the number is extremely rare. In the Ming army, there are only a few generals with generals or above. As for the Later Jin army, there are even fewer ones. Gushan Beile Enteheng, who is beside him, does not have a Qianli Mirror, and he can only stretch his neck and widen his eyes and look into the distance.
"Cross...Cross...Cross..."
Accompanied by the intense drum sounds, Dai Shan saw from the thousand-mile mirror that a group of Ming troops in big red armor were stepping into the battlefield with neat steps. In this Ming army's queue, there was a big cart pulled by mules and horses. Each cart was equipped with a big drum, and under each big drum was standing a shirtless man was hitting hard. The intense drum sounds were made from this cart.
Seeing this Ming army, Dai Shan was angry and followed by a deep surprise. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Enteheng beside him: "What is this? Why did we receive no news from this Ming army when we arrived? Are our whistle-snooping whistle all pigs?"
It’s not that Dai Shan was angry. The most important thing for the army to conquer throughout the ages is to be able to understand the news and military information around him at any time. It would be fine if there were a small group of enemy troops of dozens or hundreds of people, but such a large enemy army approached the battlefield quietly, but his commander didn’t even know the news in advance, which was a fatal mistake.
Enteheng also looked confused. Then he thought about it and then suddenly realized the thighs: "Big Beile, I remember that we have several whistleblowers disappeared one after another in the past few days. I remember that we had reported to you and reported it to you at that time. However, you and everyone thought that they had encountered the night in Liaodong, so they didn't care. Now they realized that they were eaten by this Ming army."
After Enteheng said this, Dai Shan remembered that he did receive this incident a few days ago when Enteheng reported it to him, but he didn't take it to heart at that time. Now it seems that he was really too arrogant at that time.
Thinking of this, Dai Shan's face couldn't help but feel a little hot, but fortunately his skin was darker, so he was not afraid of being seen for a while.
After being ashamed, Daishan, who felt insulted, ordered all the siege troops to withdraw and deal with the Ming army that suddenly appeared first.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The desolate trumpet sounded in the original formation of the Later Jin army, and the Later Jin army and Mongolian army, which were originally attacking Jinzhou City, retreated like a tide.
It has to be said that the Later Jin army was indeed one of the strong troops of this era. After hearing the horn of retreat, all the troops preparing to attack the city retreated in less than ten minutes. Then, under the order of officers at all levels, a team of Later Jin army and Mongolian cavalry reorganized three major formations in Niulu, and began to slowly force the Ming army, and a war was about to break out again.
"Sir, that Ming army is in danger. If there is no reinforcement, it will be difficult for them to break through the Tartars' blockade and enter Jinzhou City!" Zhao Rujiao on the city wall said to Sun Chengzong anxiously.
"Reinforcement? Absolutely not possible." Zu Dale, who was standing beside him, immediately became anxious: "Supervisor, you can't leave the city. If we open the city gate at this moment, we will not be able to protect the Tartars from attacking. Besides, how can you know if this is a trick of the Tartars?"
The Ming generals around were also talking about it. Some generals advocated going out of the city to rescue, but after all, they were friendly troops and could not watch them die. Some were against it. Now, after leaving the city, the Jin army took the opportunity to attack the city. Who would be responsible if there is any loss in Jinzhou?
The generals clamored for a long time and looked at Sun Chengzong, the highest person in charge of Liaodong military and political control.
Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time, then weighed the pros and cons and sighed: "Look first, see, there are tens of thousands of people in the Ming army opposite, so I can hold on for a while."
Zhao Rujiao sighed lightly and stopped talking. Although he was known for his bravery, he was not a fool. Of course, he knew that under the current circumstances, Sun Chengzong's decision was the wisest.
"Dong...dong...dongdong...dongdong..."
The Ming army outside the city was still moving forward firmly with neat steps until they reached about a mile from the city. The Ming army on the upper city wall could already see the appearance of the friendly army below, and many people were surprised that the Ming army formed a square formation that they had never seen before.
"What's going on? Who is the one who is leading the troops below? How did he set up the formation?"
Sun Chengzong on the city wall was furious when he saw the square formation formed by the Ming army below, because the middle of the square formation formed by the Ming army below was empty.
Yes, the square formation formed by the Jiangning Army led by Yang Feng is a famous hollow square formation in later generations. The origin of the hollow square formation is no longer verified, but this square formation is one of the best square formations recognized by later generations to deal with cavalry. Especially after equip the simulation with the big killing weapon, it will be even more powerful to deal with cavalry.
This time, Yang Feng formed a total of eleven hollow square formations, of which ten hollow square formations were composed of 500 musket soldiers, and were assigned to various cannons. Each hollow square formation was commanded by a deputy Qianhu or Qianhu. Yang Feng himself led 500 karmintons and 1,000 musket soldiers, 3,000 baggage soldiers, as well as medical battalions and artillery battalions, to form the middle of all square formations.
Huang Zhenye, wearing iron armor, rode a group of yellow horses in the middle of a square formation. While riding on the horse, he was observing the position of the surrounding friendly phalanx and ordering to adjust the distance and direction of his own phalanx. On Huang Zhenye's shoulder, he helped a black and brick-like thing the size of a palm. If there were people from later generations here, they would definitely recognize it at a glance. Isn't this a walkie-talkie?
Yes, this walkie-talkie was also a combat power multiplier that Yang Feng bought from modern society for this expedition. In the era of cold weapons, in order to allow orders to be conveyed to the hands of commanders of various troops in a timely manner, countless sages were thinking about ways to command the troops at all times, such as flags, drums, horns, and even thick smoke. However, these methods have their own disadvantages, and they all have high requirements for the quality of soldiers and commanders.
The daylight is better during the army when fighting, and the commander can rely on drums, trumpets or flags to convey it, but once it reaches night, it is simply a blind eye.
It turned out that Yang Feng was only a thousand households, and there were not many troops, and troops with more than one thousand were easily conveying orders. However, since he became the commander of Jiangning Guard and began to expand the army, the command problem has become prominent. As the saying goes, if the troops have exceeded ten thousand, how to issue his own orders to the commanders at the forefront on the battlefield in a timely manner has become the most urgent problem to be solved. Yang Feng, who was a little scratching his head, thought of the wireless intercom, the killer weapon.
So Yang Feng purchased a batch of walkie-talkies from Taobao and sent them to the officers of the deputy Qianhu level. After equipping this inconspicuous thing, Yang Feng found that he could easily send orders to the army on the battlefield. After equipping with the walkie-talkies, he used his fingers to describe it as no exaggeration.
"Stop moving forward!" Yang Feng issued an order to the walkie-talkie.
"Everyone stops!"
After Yang Feng's voice was heard through the walkie-talkie, the commanders blew the sharp whistles hanging around their necks. As the sharp whistles sounded one after another, all the heads of the square stopped moving forward.
"Crash!"
Almost at the same time, the Ming army, which had nearly tens of thousands of people, stopped almost at the same time, and this moment alone made both sides who were watching them closely discolored.
You should know that commanding troops to fight in the cold weapons era is a great test of the commander's ability. The biggest difficulty in commanding operations in this era is how to convey your orders to the hands of the following troops in a timely manner, which has become the biggest problem to test the commander.
The Ming generals watching the battle on the city wall looked at each other, almost unable to believe their eyes. They all asked themselves that if they had changed themselves, they wanted to stop a unit of tens of thousands of people and form a formation without a quarter of an hour or even two quarters of an hour. But the Ming army below only took a short moment, what an outstanding command ability was this.
"Who is the command of the Ming army below?" This question emerged in the hearts of all Ming army generals.
"Sir, who is the Ming army below? Why don't the last general remember which general named Yang is so powerful?" Zhao Rujiao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said with some uncertainty: "I submitted a memorial to Your Majesty two months ago and asked the court to send reinforcements to Liaodong. Last month, the Ministry of War came to the official document, saying that Your Majesty sent a commander named Yang Feng, Nanjing Jiangning Guard, to lead his troops to help. Could it be that the Jiangning Guard was below?"
"How is this possible?"
After seeing each other, the lieutenant generals around him looked at you as you were joking. Are you teasing me? If the mainland guards can be so elite, they will just go home to coax their children. Why are they going to fight against each other?
In fact, it was not just Sun Chengzong and the others on the city wall, but even Daishan was scared by the Ming army opposite that could be banned by orders. Who was Daishan? He was an old man who went to war with his father Nurhaci since 1599 (the 27th year of Wanli). It has been more than 20 years since then, and he has fought with the Ming army more often. But this is the first time he has seen the Ming army as banned as today.
He turned his head and looked and found that the generals around him seemed to be frightened by the Ming army opposite. Seeing this, Daishan couldn't help but feel aroused with anger and as if he was ashamed. Who are they? They are the descendants of the immortal heaven and the invincible Jurchen army. How could they be afraid of those cowardly Ming army?
"Enteheng, order Akton and Yuetuo to press forward. I want to see how many courage the Ming army has to dare to fight against the warriors of our Great Jin Kingdom!"
"Yeah!"
Akdun and Yuetuo, who received the order, led their troops from their feet to press forward towards the Ming army from their feet and wings. At the front were 4,000 vest cavalry, all of which were wearing heavy armor and holding long weapons. When the four thousand war horses started to jog slowly, the whole land seemed to be filled with sounds of horse hooves.
Seeing the black war horses slowly approaching them, Huang Zhenye, who was located in the first square formation, took a breath. Although he used to claim to be a brave general of Jiangning Guard, this was just a boast of himself. Now when he saw the fierce Later Jin cavalry opposite, he realized how ridiculous the courage he had claimed was.
After taking a deep breath, Huang Zhenye looked around and found that many soldiers' faces had changed a little, and some even had their legs trembled. He secretly called out in his heart. Although the Jiangning Guards are well-equipped and many people have fought with Japanese pirates and the soldiers of Nanjing, there are still many new recruits who have never experienced the battle formation. However, as the saying goes, the shadow of a famous tree, and facing the oppressed cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, few people are not afraid.
"We can't continue like this. If we continue like this, the morale of the soldiers will be crushed!" Huang Zhenye was very panicked. Just when he was a little anxious, a singing suddenly sounded.
"You haven't seen the Han army, and the weak crowns are the enemy who are in charge of the long-standing chariot."
“Huh…”
At the beginning, the song was only sung by a few people, but soon became dozens or hundreds of people. In the end, tens of thousands of people in the Ming army started singing.
"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, the light cavalry in the Jueyu urged the battle against the clouds.
A man should be in danger, so how can he let the Confucian Guan lose his life?
Moreover, the country's prestige is as thick as the country's prestige is, and the feathered edicts are still scrambling to stop.
I abandon my pen and I am proud of my wartime period.
He called comrades to 100,000, and sang war songs to join the army.
Qi joined the army, cleansed Hu dust, and swears to wipe out Japanese slaves without hesitation!"
The tens of thousands of people sang in unison, especially at ease. For a moment, high-pitched singing sounded over the entire battlefield. Many soldiers sang and slowly retreated as their original fear slowly disappeared, replaced by their resentment towards the Tartars and courage from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay! What a vow to wipe out the Japanese slaves without hesitation!"
Sun Chengzong on the city wall could no longer help but cheer, and his eyes showed joy.
"No matter who is in charge of the Ming army below, as long as he can enter Jinzhou City alive today, I will protect him for a future!"
Chapter completed!
