As a unique weapon of the Ming Dynasty, the three-eyed fire gun, it was definitely not tailor-made for the Guan Ning cavalry. It was just that the predecessor of the Guan Ning cavalry, the Liaodong cavalry, found that the three-eyed fire gun was particularly suitable as their main battle weapon.
, therefore, holding a three-eyed fire gun has become a major feature of the Liaodong cavalry.
In the front line led by Wu Sangui, the three hundred people at the front were all servants of Liaodong generals at all levels, that is, the real Guan Ning cavalry. In order to defeat Kong Youde's rebels this time, the Liaodong generals were also willing to
Money spent.
These servants and their horses were all wearing fine armor and harness. And these armors, as long as the distance was not too close, could effectively protect against the shots of cannons and bows and arrows.
In the manufacturing of fire guns in the Ming Dynasty, except for Wu Shigong, everyone made a misunderstanding. The army and craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty pursued the range and accuracy of fire guns so much that they gave up the power of fire guns.
No matter what.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty army believed that the barrel of a sophisticated firecracker should be thin and long, which led to the emergence of a strange type of firecracker, the bird cannon. What is even more puzzling is that the cost of manufacturing the bird cannon is more than
The price of Wu Shigong's heavy-duty fireguns is about twice as high, the production time is long, and the craftsmanship requirements are high. This situation can only make people sigh, maybe the Ming Dynasty court had too much money.
Because of Sun Yuanhua's sufficient military expenditure guarantee, the rebels were equipped with a large number of "sophisticated" bird cannons. Therefore, the Guan Ning Cavalry would be the first to face the shooting of bird cannons.
When the first row of Guan Ning's cavalry rushed to a place about a hundred steps away from the rebels, the rebel gunmen and archers standing in front began to fire for the first time. They were all rebel gunners from Dongjiang Town.
The quality of gunmen and archers is indeed very high. They all have stable psychological quality. Facing the menacing Guan Ning cavalry, they can suppress the shooting range and put Guan Ning cavalry within the range of the gun before shooting.
However, the power of blunderbuss and bows and arrows is indeed too small. Except for a few Guan Ning cavalry who were unlucky enough to be shot in exposed parts, the other Guan Ning cavalry were unscathed.
As soon as the rebel gunmen and archers finished shooting, they immediately ran back around the rebel left-wing infantry phalanx to hide behind the infantry phalanx. And the front row of the rebel infantry phalanx
The pikemen also put their spears forward in a flower formation, preparing to face the collision of the Ming cavalry on the opposite side.
But suddenly, the rebels were surprised to hear the sound of gunfire coming from the charging cavalry. A group of rebel gunmen and archers who were standing in the front row and had not had time to run away were caught off guard.
He was beaten to death and wounded on the ground.
Where did this fire gun fire come from? Except for some rebels from the old Dongjiang Town, the other rebels never thought that this was the three-eyed fire gun among the Guan Ning Iron Riders showing off its power.
This shooting actually caused few casualties to the rebels, but it suffered an inexplicable blow. The entire left wing of the rebel army was stunned. Even the front row of rebel spearmen who had formed a spear formation were loosened.
formed a formation.
But before the rebel soldiers could react, there was another burst of gunfire. The rebel soldiers who were now exposed in the front row and had set up a spear array were killed and wounded dozens of times. This happened one after another.
The attack caused some excitement among the left-wing rebels.
But it wasn't over yet. Then came the third fire cannon fire. The rebel spear flower array, which could no longer accept the casualties and psychological shock, immediately collapsed. At this time, the rebel soldiers standing in the front row were horrified to discover that Ming Ming
The army's cavalry had already rushed in front of him.
In fact, the time that all this happened was quite short. That is, five or six breaths of time. The Guan Ning cavalry, which rushed at high speed, rushed into the rebel formation more than twenty steps away, leaving only a bloody mess behind.
an open space.
Although the cavalry of the Guan Ning Cavalry also lined up to attack the waves, their cavalry did not line up very closely like the red-eye tactics of the Runing Camp. So after charging for more than 20 steps, the cavalry
After landing quickly, Guan Ning's cavalry swung the three-eyed fire blunderbuss in their hands, using it as an iron rod and hammer, and smashed the heads of the rebel soldiers beside them, making the rebel soldiers howl like ghosts and wolves.
The two thousand-man infantry phalanxes in the front row of the left wing of the army were suddenly broken up.
Then came the second row of Guan Ning's cavalry and the third row of Guan Ning's cavalry. The entire left wing of the rebel army was in chaos.
Kong Youde's eyelids jumped when he saw the cavalry charging towards his left wing taking out a three-eyed firecracker to shoot. Because among the entire Ming army, only the Guanning cavalry used the three-eyed firecracker as their weapon. This was for
For Kong Youde, who is also from Liaodong, the situation is all too familiar.
But in Kong Youde's heart, he was still somewhat lucky. He also hoped that there might be a Ming army that he didn't know about yet and could learn the tactics of Guan Ning's cavalry.
But Kong Youde's luck was soon broken. Rows of Guan Ning's cavalry were like hard stones driven into snowdrifts, beating the rebels' left wing and sending them flying everywhere. And Liaodong behind them
The army cavalry was also divided into combat groups and continued to attack the rebels' left flank.
Just before the battle groups were about to charge, the entire Liaodong Army cheered, and their general flags were finally raised. Looking at the familiar surnames on the general flags, Kong Youde's heart sank, and he understood that he had been tricked.
Well, this Ming army is exactly the Guan Ning cavalry.
The cavalry battle group of the Liaodong Army also began to charge. They attacked the soldiers on the left wing of the rebel army who were still gathered together and were still resisting. They did not care about the rebels who fled in all directions. They wanted to completely defeat the left wing of the rebel army.
Seeing that the army on his left wing had eroded, and that this collapse was about to spread to his center army, Kong Youde expressionlessly ordered Li Yingyuan: "This battle is lost. Hurry up and take all the people from our old Liao army with you."
Come back and withdraw some of the others."
"Uncle Kong, you won't be able to escape much by just walking like this!" Li Yingyuan advised, "Our central army and right wing are still strong, so let's mobilize our troops to give the army a try."
The whole battle lasted for a very short time. In less than half an hour, the two sides only fought for one round. Therefore, the young and energetic Li Yingyuan was a little unwilling.
"It's useless. That official army is Guan Ning's cavalry!" Kong Youde said. Although he has a deep hatred with Guan Ning's cavalry, among the generals in Dongjiang Town, they also have a strong fear of Guan Ning's cavalry. "
If we don't leave, even we won't be able to leave. Look, the Ming army on the right is about to move, and they also have a fierce cavalry."
"We suffered a loss this time because we didn't know that the one facing us was the Guan Ning Cavalry. Now that we know it, it's not a big deal. After we go back, we will gather all the old Liao troops, as well as the cavalry, chariots and artillery. Next time
When we meet, I still don’t know who will win.”
Then, Kong Youde called several soldiers and asked them to quickly report to Li Jiucheng, who was in charge of the siege of Laizhou City, and asked him to quickly withdraw the rebels and artillery that besieged Laizhou City.
After arranging all this, Kong Youde took the lead and retreated to the rear.
The appearance of Guan Ning's cavalry not only surprised Kong Youde, but also stunned the allied military attachés who saw the battle. But after they reacted, they understood that they were going to win today, and the allied forces also gave out deafening cheers.
Voice.
But Wu Shigong and other officers of the Runing Battalion couldn't laugh in their hearts. Today's performance of the Guan Ning Cavalry shocked them so much.
Due to successive victories, the entire Runing Battalion was inevitably very proud. They all believed that their Runing Battalion was already the most powerful army in the world.
But after seeing the performance of the Guan Ning Cavalry today, the officers of the Runing Battalion had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the strongest Ming army like the Guan Ning Cavalry was on the same level as the Runing Battalion.
However, the number of Guan Ning's cavalry far exceeds that of Runing's battalion. Really, compared to the overall strength, Runing's battalion is definitely far inferior. There are also techniques and tactics. Today, Guan Ning's cavalry used the three-eyed fire cannon.
It completely broke the common sense of Runing camp.
In the current Runing camp, there are also the ten three-eyed fire guns that Xue Lian gave to Wu Shigong at the beginning. However, because of the heavyness of the three-eyed fire guns, the Runing camp uses them for the defense of the fortress and as artillery.
In addition, I don’t pay too much attention to the Three-Eyed Fire Gun.
As for the red-eye tactics performed by the Runing Battalion, the tactic of throwing down the fire guns and charging with spears after firing the fire guns, everyone in the Runing Battalion thought it was their own innovation. But after seeing today's Guan Ning Cavalry's response to the three-eyed fire guns
I tried to use it, but found that this tactic was left over from the Guan Ning Cavalry. I was really sitting back and watching the sky! I don’t know how many good tactics there are, but they are not known by the Runing camp who only know how to work behind closed doors!
In addition, the Guan Ning Cavalry was repeatedly defeated by the Hou Jin Army in Liaodong. So how strong will the Hou Jin Army really be? The officers of the Runing Battalion couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs. Wu Shigong
I couldn't help but think: "I used to look down on the world's heroes."
The entire rebel formation was actually very long, with more than 18,000 people lining up over a distance of more than a mile. Therefore, most of the rebel soldiers in the center and right flank who were in the same row could not see it.
What’s really going on on your own left.
However, as Kong Youde retreated, the commander's generals also retreated, which immediately caused the rebels' morale to waver.
"The ones coming are the Guan Ning cavalry!" This was the cry from some old Liao soldiers.
"We are defeated!" This was the cry of the soldiers who retreated after seeing Kong Youde's commanding flag.
"Let's run!"
…
As a result, the rebel soldiers did not obey the orders of their respective officers and scrambled to retreat to the rear.
When he saw his own coalition forces approaching, the rebel right-wing soldiers on the opposite side were in chaos, and Liu Zeqing was a little undecided. "Brother Chang Jing, don't be in a daze! What should we do?" Liu Zeqing said habitually.
Ask Wu Shigong.
Wu Shigong suddenly woke up from his reflection. He said with a smile: "Of course I'll go forward and fight! In front of me are heads and military achievements, all of which are free of money!"
"That's right!" Chen Zhongzhi agreed from the side.
"Okay! The whole army attacks!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
