"What new weapons?" Shu Mo's mind raced, and then he asked with some uncertainty, "Aren't you talking about those tanks?"
"Hey! I didn't expect that our book turtle would finally grow a head today! You're right, it's those chariots!" Zug couldn't forget to say a few words to stimulate Shu Mo at this time.
"You don't have a head!" Shu Mo jumped up in excitement, "Just those broken chariots of yours? I admit that those chariots are more intimidating when running, but look at the way you ran just now?
It can't turn well and can only run in a straight line to the end. Besides, my book master has a hundred ways to kill this kind of chariot. Not to mention digging a few trenches, I can make those chariots lie down. As long as they let go
Several rows of muskets and bows, and the soldiers and horses driving those chariots will all be killed. Are you going to fight or let these chariot soldiers die?"
When Wu Shigong slapped his head and ordered the construction of a chariot, he did not consider the issue of the chariot's handler. Compared with ancient Eastern and Western chariots, the simplified version of the Runing Army's chariot is indeed simple and cheap to manufacture.
But Wu Shigong didn't know that in ancient times, it took several years or even more than ten years to train chariot drivers, and it was impossible to train them in a short time.
The chariot drivers of the Runing Army have only been trained for more than half a year. It is no problem to ask them to line up and charge in a straight line on the open ground, but it is a little difficult to ask them to make some actions such as turning, going around obstacles and turning around.
So Shumo is indeed talking about some very real issues.
"Are these questions you're talking about?" Zug replied nonchalantly, "War is always a job with a head on your shoulders. And this is also a place where we are familiar with running chariots. We know how to run. Also, we know how to run.
, do you think those bandits will have muskets and bows and arrows in their hands? If not, it’s just a pile of minced meat for us to slaughter?"
Shu Mo thought about it carefully and thought it was right, so he asked: "The field battle is your business, Chu Fox, so tell me how to fight."
Zug walked to the hanging map. Pointing to a point about two miles in front of Longyan Village, he said: "We will send three companies here to form three ten-ten square formations. You and I will have more than eighty soldiers here."
Protect behind the phalanx and form a formation on horseback and foot to attract the attention of the rioters."
"And I will hide here with my chariot team." Zug pointed to a point on the waist of the small basin, "When the attention of the gangsters is attracted by the front, I will rush out and stab him at an angle.
The bandits did this, then rushed to the river, turned around, and came back and followed this road to give the bandits another blow. After two passes, the troops in the front could slaughter the sheep. This road is also what our chariot team is used to running on.
, so there is absolutely no problem in charging and killing."
Shumo carefully considered Zug's plan again and thought it was feasible. However, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I thought that the young master would be crazy enough to lead us to attack tens of thousands of Holy Spirit Society mobs at that time, but I didn't expect that now
You Chu Huxu is going crazy, just a few dozen people dare to attack tens of thousands of bandits, you are really a madman!"
"Hehe!" The Zug ghost laughed a few times, "Okay! If you dare to say bad things about your young master behind your back, I won't report you, and let us adults rub your eggplant."
"Then we have to have our young master believe you. Back then, I accompanied the young master in the charge! Forget it. Since you are going crazy, then I will go crazy with you. I will command the front troops. Wang Jiu!
"Shu Mo ordered the deputy commander in charge of Longyan Village, "You will lead the remaining people to guard Longyan Village and be ready to respond to us at any time."
"Don't you see?" Zug then laughed, "Our book turtle is going to come out of its shell this time!"
"No way!" Shu Mo seemed to be indifferent to Zuge's ridicule, "We are brothers! I have to step forward to get you back from the gangsters. But it doesn't matter whether I get you out or not, you are also vicious anyway.
If you don’t have enough luck, you’ll be poor Sister Rusong! She will be a widow at such a young age!”
"Fuck!" Zug immediately cursed. "Why can't ivory come out of your dog's mouth?"
"Okay! Then I'll spit out ivory!" Shu Mo's words were as irritating as his young master's, "I will raise your daughter well. I will raise her as my biological daughter. Who knows that she will become a child in the future?
Where is my book master’s wife! Hey! Don’t do it! Do you think I won’t do it?..."
Seeing their commander's fight, the surrounding officers and soldiers laughed.
"Hold down! Hold down! Wait until the bandits have advanced fifty steps before attacking. Don't let them get too close, just fifty steps!" Shu Mo yelled.
In fact, the Runing Army's firecracker shooting was directed by a special temporary firecracker commander, and there was no need for Shu Mo to take over. Shumo was just nervous, so he kept repeating these firecracker shooting regulations summarized after the great victory in Ruzhou.
An archer from the Runing Army was shooting arrows. This bow was specially made, and the archer was specially trained. A few arrows he shot landed about fifty steps away, and it was a sign for the Runing Army.
The leader of the firecrackers set a landmark.
As dusk approached, the bandits from the small alliance entered Congling Pass. They didn't stop at all and came towards Longyan Village.
Since it was midsummer, the sky got dark relatively late. When the vanguard of the rebel bandits met Shumo's troops who had already formed their formation, the entire sky was still quite bright.
When they suddenly encountered the Ming army, the bandits stopped in fear. But when the leaders of the small coalition saw that there were only more than 300 Ming troops on the opposite side, they became bolder and ordered the soldiers of the small coalition to rush in like a swarm.
Came up.
From the perspective of the Runing Army, the more than 30,000 bandits on the opposite side were not arranged in a neat formation at all. They were just piled here and there, so it seemed that there were more people than the same number of troops.
There were so many. Then I saw the bandits rushing over from the opposite side, so the more than 300 soldiers seemed very nervous.
Fortunately, the officers and non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level were basically veterans who had participated in the Battle of Ruzhou. They had all withstood the crazy attacks of the peasant rebels at that time, so under the pressure of these veterans, the entire army was still stable.
When the small coalition rushed fifty steps, the firecrackers opened fire, knocking down the first few bandits to the ground. However, the number of firecrackers was small after all, and the defeated bandits were in the chaos of the entire charge.
The bandits could not stand out from the crowd, so the fallen bandits were like a few small waves rising in the waves.
But just such a blow made the charging bandits shrink and stagnate. The rest of the bandits stopped one after another and tried to hide behind their companions to protect themselves. But everyone wanted to do this.
The charging team was all in chaos, and no one knew which bandit was shouting, but the charging bandits retreated in a chaotic manner.
In fact, this is the normal state of the army composed of refugees. They can be as brave as the peasant rebel army last time and look forward to death without fear of death, or they can shrink and stagnate like they are now. As for which situation they will be in, only God knows.
But just such a charge made Shu Mo's palms full of sweat. If those bandits had been determined just now, they might have rushed to the Runing army and fought hand to hand. There were more than 300 Runing soldiers and less than 400 soldiers.
The soldiers fought hand-to-hand with tens of thousands of bandits. Even if they could hold on for a while, the final outcome was doomed.
At this time, Shu Mo was muttering in his heart: "Why hasn't this Chu Fox's chariot come out yet?"
In fact, Shu Mo's view was blocked. Zug and the others were in a group, driving chariots pulled by two horses. They had formed a formation of five vehicles in a row and rushed towards the flank of the small coalition bandits.
However, the chariot needs to accelerate after all, and the speed of the chariot is always slower than that of the cavalry. Therefore, after such a big target as the chariot convoy appeared, it was immediately discovered by the gangsters of the small alliance.
In order to protect themselves, the horses pulling the chariot were covered with felt inlaid with iron sheets. In addition to the observation gap in front, the charioteers were also surrounded by a circle of thick wooden boards inlaid with iron sheets. The chariot soldiers standing on the chariot except
In addition to the inner cotton armor and silk inner armor, they also wore two layers of ring-arm iron armor. They stood on the chariot holding axes and guns, majestic like a god of war.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are two sharp blades one foot long installed on the top of the chariot's hub. These sharp blades were carefully made of hundreds of steel in the iron workshop, and their strength and toughness were first-class in the Ming Dynasty.
As the chariot speeds, the sharp blade trembles up and down, flashing with an aggressive light under the setting sun, showing a kind of beauty of death.
Seeing the approach of the chariot convoy, the bandits in the small alliance suddenly became agitated. When the chariots drove a hundred steps away from the bandits in the small alliance, the five chariots in the first row immediately ignited the fire pits erected on both sides of the chariots.
A swarm of bees and thousands of rockets rushed towards the small alliance bandits.
There was no pause at all, and the small alliance of bandits immediately blew up the camp. They fled to both sides to avoid the path of the chariot.
But the speed of the chariot has already increased. In the blink of an eye, the chariot rushed into the crowd of rioters. Just like a hot knife cutting butter, the entire crowd of rioters was immediately cut in half. The rioters could not escape.
They were either crushed by chariots or cut into pieces by sharp knives. A scene of the end of the world suddenly appeared in the crowd of bandits.
No bandit wanted to block it, and no bandit dared to block it. The speed of the chariot convoy did not slow down. Effortlessly, the chariot convoy penetrated the formation of the small coalition bandits from the flank, and completely destroyed the formation.
The gangster was completely cut into two halves, front and back.
It wasn't until they reached the river that the chariot convoy stopped. The entire chariot convoy began to turn. At this time, the chariot lost its speed and it was also when the chariot was at its weakest. However, the bandits who were hit hard by the chariot were thinking
Hurry up and escape from this war monster, the chariot. No one will dare to get close to the chariot. (To be continued.)
