Zhou Yuji felt that there was no need to stand around and be beaten like this. Regardless of whether he was shot or not, it would not be good for morale, so he simply blew the trumpet and moved forward.
When Li Yongfang saw the other party, he was only briefly panicked under the fire from his side's heavy rifle bows, and then regained his composure.
He was very surprised, and the bow and arrow on his side had no effect.
He was a little panicked.
Their stomachs are far different from their opponent's, so they will definitely suffer in a fight.
Moreover, the militiamen on the opposite side all looked very tall and strong. They also had good physical strength.
Although the famine has been severe in the past two years, Yang Fan's slaves and tenants have been allocated irrigated land to ensure harvests despite droughts and floods, as well as high-quality seeds. Everyone can have enough to eat.
Frozen fat pork is also sold in the store. There is enough grain and fat pork, and the caloric intake is far higher than anyone in this era. Vegetable seeds are also delivered in large quantities, and there are even mulched greenhouses to grow off-season vegetables.
Balanced nutritional intake.
After all, the Eight Banners Han Army were all surrendered officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, although the local Han people in Liaodong were stronger than the Han people in Guannei.
However, during the three years of famine, their treatment was definitely not as good as that of the Jian slaves. They did not eat well and were very thin. Han soldiers also had many unique corruptions and bad habits, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Jian slaves.
In later generations, the decay of the Eight Banners began with the Han military flags. They brought with them all the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty.
Both Kangxi and Yongzheng angrily rebuked the Han Banners for their indolence, slickness, corruption, harm to good people, exploitation of local areas, and opportunism, which had led to the destruction of both the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
Their fighting will is also far inferior to that of Jiannu.
Li Yongfang saw that the militiamen leveled the Swiss halberd with a brush. The ten-foot-long halberd was leveled, and they all walked forward in unison, ignoring the rain of arrows, and walked towards them in unison.
Every step was raised and lowered in a uniform manner, and the sound of footsteps shook the earth. The sound of footsteps was like a drum beating the earth.
The unified steps of more than 10,000 people made even the earth tremble slightly.
Woo! The Han military flag also blew the horn immediately.
In front of the Han army flag were three thousand heavy armored infantry. They immediately picked up their weapons and walked forward.
As the teams on both sides approached, the rear team of the Han Army Banner stopped firing bows and arrows.
After all, the backs of their heavy armored infantrymen wearing cloth armor cannot block the heavy bows and arrows. They can easily shoot their own people to death.
At this time, Yang Fan had already begun to put on his clothes and mount his horse.
After all, if there was a fight with Zhenglan Qi later, he would personally lead the charge into battle. Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru also mounted their horses in armor, one on the left and one on the right, protecting Yang Fan.
Yang Fan, Xiao Niangpi, Lin Yueru, and 500 cavalrymen all wore bulletproof vests inside and aluminum alloy armor outside. They rode on tall and majestic Don horses. The horses were all covered with stab-proof fabric jackets, and their heads were
There are also steel armor and horse masks.
The soldiers are all selected strong soldiers who are over 1.8 meters tall. This group of people looks very impressive.
Yang Fan has never understood the equipment of Jiannu's heavy armored infantry. This is the first time he has observed it on the battlefield.
The equipment of the Eight Banners infantry was formed fifteen years ago.
In the eighth year of Tianming (1623), Nurhaci reformed the organization and determined weapons, equipment and team tactics. He stipulated:
Each Niulu sent out a hundred armored soldiers, including ten men named Baiyala, carrying two cannons and three spears.
Then divide the ninety armored soldiers into them.
The forty armored soldiers were red bagaras, carrying ten cannons, twenty spears, ten men, two shield chariots, and two kettles.
There are fifty men in the black camp, carrying ten cannons, twenty spears, and twenty men carrying two shield carts, one ladder, two chisels, two adzes, two fishing hooks, two sickles, and two axes.
, four collars for the mat, two forks, a stick, two kettles and a month's worth of charcoal, and fifteen pairs of cotton armor.
Each armor carries two cannons.
It can be seen that Jiannu has never been a pure cold weapon army. They have been equipped with a large number of firearms from the beginning.
The translation of this passage is that a cow recruits 300 people and selects 100 of them. Then from these 100 people, he selects ten white bagaras with two cannons and three muskets, leaving 90 people, of which 40
He is a red Baya La, and has ten cannons, 20 muskets, and two shield vehicles. In other words, a Niulu has 12 cannons, more than 20 muskets, and the equipment rate of light firearms is less than 10%.
This is the level of the Eight Banners infantry. So what weapons were equipped by the Han soldiers who established slaves?
The Khan's edict said: "If the Han officials are in charge of 4,000 people, they will use 200 people as troops. The 100 soldiers will be equipped with ten cannons and 80 long muskets. The other hundred soldiers will be at your disposal."
Nurhachi stipulated that a Han official in charge of 4,000 Han people should select 200 people from his subjects to serve as soldiers.
Among them, 100 soldiers were equipped with firearms and formed a separate team. They were equipped with ten cannons and 80 muskets. One hundred soldiers were equipped with cold weapons to fight.
From the analysis in the article, this so-called long gun should be a kind of individual firearm and a kind of fire door gun.
Soon after, the Khan sent a letter saying: "With three guerrillas in each banner, one guerrilla will prepare a cannon at the flag. Each cannon is equipped with two horses and is entrusted with management. Among the remaining people, select those who are strong enough to wear bows and order them to
Wear a bow. Those who cannot wear a bow are ordered to carry three-hole cannons and blunderbuss."
This passage makes the principles of establishing an army very clear. Those who are strong, capable of fighting, and good at using bows and arrows are organized into troops with cold weapons and used to charge into battle.
As for those soldiers who are weak and lack fighting ability, they are equipped with firearms.
The physical quality of the Han army was obviously not as good as that of the Eight Banners, so the firearms equipment rate of the Eight Banners was less than 10%, but half of the Han army was equipped with firearms.
Yang Fan has always been confused about what the firearms and cannons of Jiannu are.
This time I saw everything clearly. The long gun is a magic gun. The so-called three-hole cannon is a three-eye fire gun. The muskets are all fire door guns.
Those cannons and cannons are amazing things.
Yang Fan was riding on a horse, at the highest point of the camp, and could see everything clearly with a telescope.
Li Yongfang and others stood on a small mound in the middle of the army on horseback, commanding from the center.
The first phalanx of the Han army flag is a heavy armored infantry phalanx of 3,000 men. This part will soon engage in battle with the militia.
Three thousand heavy armored infantry, followed by three thousand firearms troops armed with three-eyed blunderbuss, sharp guns and other fire portal guns. Yang Fan could see clearly from the telescope that these firearms were clearly the standard equipment of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army. They should be these.
People surrendered and the slaves brought them there, or the slaves captured them in previous battles.
Further back, there are three military formations in the shape of a Chinese character. Each military formation is composed of three thousand people. These teams are equipped with cold weapons. The weapons are relatively chaotic, including spears, long swords, and
There are three-pronged forks (the Ming army also equipped them in large quantities and were used to block the opponent's weapons when defending infantry units.). The most commonly equipped is the long knife. This kind of knife is one meter three to four meters long. It can be used with both hands. The waist knife is what is seen in TV and movies.
The common kind of knife cleaning.
There are artillery arrayed in front of these three military formations.
Seeing these artillery pieces, Yang Fan's eyes narrowed.
