Chapter 64 Conquering the Enemy with a Spear, Extremely Stupid
Update time:2012-10-21
The moment the city gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered, the impatient Jin soldiers who had been waiting for a long time cheered: The timid Ming barbarians finally couldn't bear the excitement, they were fooled, they were fooled!
Shideba Afeni excitedly rode his horse and ran to Niulu Erzhenduo Noi, and shouted excitedly: "Master Erzhen, the barbarian has come out, the barbarian has really come out!"
The young Niulu Ezhenduo Noi is a bit too young. His eighteenth birthday will be next month. Although his amma is one of the eight ministers valued by the Khan, being able to become Niulu Ezhen is not
To take advantage of Amma’s glory is to rely on one’s true ability.
When it comes to horsemanship skills, looking at the Kingdom of Jin, Duo Noi believes that there are only a handful of people who are better than him; when it comes to courage, Duo Noi is even more confident. He thinks that when he was only fifteen years old, he dared to follow the Khan to conquer the Mongols and fight in the first battle.
Then he beheaded seven Mongolians with his own hands, and was praised by King Khan as "I am a great young hero of gold!" [
At the age of sixteen, he became the leader of a group of elites. Except for Dorgon and Duoyi's young Baylor, who could be better than him in this promotion?
The skilled man was bold and young, so Duo Noi didn't pay attention to the Ming army in the city at all. He just heard that the Ming Dynasty's "No-Fight General" in the city said that he wanted to come out to meet his master. At that time
Then he smiled and said to the people around him: "Do you think I really want to accept the Ming Dynasty's non-war general as my coat guard? If he really means that, I'll be in some trouble. I'll have to ask my Amma.
.Otherwise, if he knew that I was good at inventing Ming Dynasty's wrappings, he would probably scold me for being young and immoral."
Everyone laughed when they heard Niu Lu's words, secretly saying that their own Ezhen adults are still too young, and sometimes their thoughts are a bit childish.
On the opposite side, the Ming army rode out of the city. There were not many in number, but the flags they carried were so dazzling that it was difficult to tell which part of the Ming army they belonged to.
Bakurange was a mature man. When he saw that the Ming army was all cavalry and no infantry left the city, he reminded Duo Noi: "Sir Zhen, the Ming barbarians are cavalry. Should we mount our horses?"
"What horse to get on?"
Duo Noi laughed and said to the people around him: "King Khan often taught us that there are many people in the Ming Dynasty, so we can't kill them all, but we in Dajin have few people. If one is missing, we will lose a point of strength, so we fight against the people of the Ming Dynasty."
, we must give full play to the strengths of our Eight Banners warriors and use our own strengths to attack each other's weaknesses!"
Having said this, he glanced at Lange with a smile and asked him: "Lange, what do you think the strengths of our Eight Banners warriors are?"
"Of course it's our riding and shooting skills!" Lange blurted out without thinking.
Duo Noi nodded, raised his hand and pointed at the Ming army on the opposite side who was slowly approaching, and said contemptuously: "These Ming barbarians don't even have armor, why should we fight with them immediately? We can just shoot them down with our big arrows."
Yes! Send the order, bring the Ming army closer and then shoot! I will kill most of these Ming barbarians before they get within a hundred steps!"
Left and right hurriedly said: "Cha!"
………
On the top of the city, everyone looked nervously at the Jin army. Seeing that the Jin army was lined up and not ready to charge, Zheng Guo felt a little strange and said to Qiu Hejia: "Sir, the Jin army doesn't seem to be afraid of General Shi?"
Qiu Hejia also noticed that the Jin army did not mount their horses, but faced the enemy in an infantry formation. He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Jiannu has many cavalry, and he is good at riding and shooting. The cavalry can be transformed into steps, and the steps can also be transformed into cavalry. On horseback
No matter whether they are dismounted or dismounted, they are stronger than us. They don't mount their horses because they want to shoot down Shi Dayong with their big arrows."
Zheng Guo was shocked: "My subordinates saw that most of General Shi's men and horses did not have armor. If they charge forward forcefully, wouldn't they become a living target for Jiannu?"
"Shi Dayong bet his treasure on those two hundred heavy armored cavalry. The people in front are just afraid..." Qiu Hejia didn't say any more. He already understood the tactics adopted by Shi Dayong. This strategy was to kill a thousand enemies at the expense of oneself.
Eight hundred, but thinking about it carefully, Shi Dayong had no other choice. If he could have thousands of troops, why would he use such a suicidal tactic?
Zheng Guo secretly sighed and said: "Sir, in fact, my subordinates have always felt that it is not difficult to deal with Jiannu's cavalry. As long as we have a large army with spears and spears lined up in square formations, equipped with blunderbuss, Jiannu will not be able to do anything."
We must not."
After hearing what he said, Qiu Hejia turned to look at him, shook his head, and said: "In the later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunmao once led the army to fight against the Khitan. At that time, one of his generals said that the Khitan had more cavalry and I had more infantry. If we met on the plains,
If the enemy's thousands of cavalry charge into our formation, I will be completely annihilated. I ask you, doesn't that general know that he can order the infantry to form a spear formation to restrain the Khitan cavalry? If the spear formation can really restrain the cavalry, why is this so?
For thousands of years, we Han people have been suppressed by foreigners? How about the Mongols taking over our Han family?"
"This..." Zheng Guo was stunned, unable to answer this question.[
Qiu Hejia wanted to give Zheng Guo some guidance so that he could lead the army alone in the future. If he had more knowledge at this time, he would be able to use more skills in the future, so he was patient and explained to him: "The spear array can certainly restrain the cavalry, but the same
It can be easily broken through, because there is always only one front protected by the spear, but the enemy has no obligation to attack you from the front. They can also attack you from both sides. In the history of wars, our Han army has not been defeated by these two wings.
The reason is that the enemy looks at each other from head to tail, so no matter how you form the formation, the enemy can easily choose to fight or not to fight, where to fight, and how to fight if it is not just cavalry.
Even if we don't fight, we can't intercept them and can only let them go. But the enemy can wait for an opportunity to fight again. The initiative of whether to fight or not is not in my hands. To respond passively to the enemy, no matter how vigilant we are, there is still a gap in Baimi.
A great battle often determines the fate of a dynasty, so infantry defeats cavalry in nine out of ten battles. The reason is that the infantry is not as fast as the cavalry and cannot take the initiative to fight. No matter how powerful the formation is, others will still hold their noses.
How can you not be defeated in your hands?"
"My subordinates have learned a lesson." Zheng Guo felt ashamed in his heart, ashamed of his little knowledge.
Qiu Hejia sighed: "Actually, what our Ming Dynasty lacks is not infantry or infantry formations, but cavalry. Over the past dynasties, if our Central Plains dynasty has strong cavalry, all barbarians will submit; if cavalry does not flourish, the Central Plains dynasty will surely fall.
The hands of foreign barbarians. It can be seen that this cavalry is the foundation of the dynasty. Unfortunately, our Ming Dynasty has weak cavalry, which allows Jian Nu to make trouble in Liaodong. If our Ming Dynasty had 100,000 cavalry in hand, this Jian Nu would have been wiped out long ago! Why?
There is a problem today!"
"Since cavalry is the foundation, why don't you write to the court to form cavalry?" Zheng Guo was puzzled.
Qiu Hejia smiled bitterly: "Sun Jinglue has only ten years of hard work, but he has only trained more than ten thousand Liaodong cavalry. This alone has exhausted the national treasury. I am determined to train cavalry again, but where does the money come from?"
Hearing this, Zheng Guo's heart moved. He hesitated and said boldly: "Sir, I have something to say, and I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
Qiu Hejia raised his hand lightly: "You and I have a deep love for each other as master and servant, but we don't care."
After receiving permission, Zheng Guofang said: "The Liaodong cavalry that Sun Jinglue has trained is not very powerful in the eyes of his subordinates. It is not certain that he will be defeated in every battle. From this, it can be seen that no matter how many cavalry we train in the Ming Dynasty, it does not seem to be a slave."
rival?"
"Humph, it's not for the cavalry, but for the generals of the Liaodong Army!"
Zheng Guo's words made Qiu Hejia feel the fire of fame welling up in his heart. He clenched his fists and said bitterly: "If everyone is as brave as Shi Dayong to fight, so fearless of death, and so disregarding personal fame and fortune, how can he not win?
!" After saying that, he glared at Wu Xiang and others in the distance with hateful eyes.
Seeing this, Zheng Guo hurriedly advised: "Sir, calm down, don't be angry for these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death." He caught a glimpse of Shi Dayong's soldiers and horses charging, and he hurriedly shouted: "Charge forward!
"
"oh!"
Qiu Hejia hurriedly turned his eyes to look at the bottom of the city. He took a breath of cold air when he saw the Jin army's arrows raining down, and the Liaodong cavalry who rushed at the forefront fell instantly.
