Chapter 447: The Tang Dynasty Soldiers (seeking a monthly ticket)
The city wall is more than four meters high. How high is it? It's probably as tall as two Yao Mings put together. Of course, if it's Siniang, she might need three. Well, she has to wear shoes with increased height. If
If it is not worn, the city wall is said to be able to crush three four mothers. If the four mothers bend down, even five or six of them can be crushed.
If you jump from this height, your life or death will be uncertain!
If someone is unlucky enough to land on his head first, he will definitely be dead. But in most cases, the head landing is relatively rare. Most of the time, the feet land first, or the body lands sideways.
Xu Jialun, the magistrate of Rong County, had obviously not read any theoretical articles about jumping off buildings. He didn’t know that when jumping off a building, you have to put your head down just like diving. He just jumped down in a leap!
It turns out that the theory of jumping from a building developed by some extremely painful experts is quite correct. Xu Jialun, the magistrate of Rong County, landed with his left foot first. After an unknown fraction of a second, his right foot also touched the ground, and then his body
, and finally there will be a popping sound, raising a little dust,
What follows immediately after landing is the natural neurological reaction of the human body, which will make painful self-protective actions. The body curls up on the ground and screams are also heard at this time!
This can’t be done without screaming!
Xu Jialun's jump from a building is like most people who commit suicide by jumping from a building. It is not that easy to die. In the end, he lost his hands and feet. In the end, it was so painful that he no longer had the heart to die, and he lamented the preciousness of life.
, if they were asked to jump off a building in the past, they would probably have a psychological shadow.
Both feet were fractured, and anyone with a little bit of surgical knowledge could tell at a glance from his twisted left ankle that the foot must have been comminutedly fractured. To cure it, the only way to cure it was to undergo surgery and stuff it inside.
Put in some steel pipes or something.
After a few months of rest after the operation, I can still shout that I am still a good man!
It is a pity that Xu Jialun lived in the mid-16th century, the first year of Xuanping, the 41st year of Zhengde, and 1546 AD. He had no way to enjoy the medical standards of later generations, and he could easily cure broken limbs and limbs.
If nothing else happens, Xu Jialun, the magistrate of Rong County, will become Xu Laizi in the future. If he can still walk without a crutch and can jump up and down on his own, then he will have to give him a thumbs up.
, come and say, brother, you are awesome!
Xu Jialun jumped off the building. Whether he died or not, and whether he would become a cripple in the future, naturally few people except himself cared.
Nearly two thousand Ming troops outside the city had dispersed in a flurry. Some ran toward the city gate, while others fled in both directions.
The puppet Tang bandit army behind them was in hot pursuit, and an army of hundreds of cavalry bandits passed over many running Ming troops and headed straight for the city gate!
On the top of the city, Rong County Magistrate Xu Jialun jumped from the city gate tower in despair. The other Rong County officials such as the county magistrate looked at me and I looked at you, and then they dispersed in a hurry.
Fleeed for his life.
All the officials have fled. The two to three hundred young men and a small number of Ming army soldiers who were still stationed on the city top do not need orders from others at this time. Everyone already knows that it is time for everyone to flee for their lives.
.
Defend the city?
Don't be ridiculous, you have to defend yourself, I'm running for my life anyway!
When Lu Yuzhi led more than a hundred cavalrymen from the Second Cavalry Battalion to run wildly, they even passed the fleeing Ming troops in front and reached the city gate first!
Rong County is not a large and solid city, it is just a small, remote county town. The city walls are not high and not thick, so the city gates cannot be very strong, not to mention that the Ming army cannot really complete the city gates.
Blocked, because they took the initiative and had great confidence at the beginning.
Therefore, the city gate was only closed normally, and the back was not blocked. Lu Yuzhi arranged for more than a dozen people to slam a nearby giant tree several times, and then opened the broken city gate!
Then they sent twenty or thirty people directly across the city gate and rushed in!
According to common sense, under normal circumstances Lu Yuzhi would not take the risk of sending men directly into the city. After all, the cavalry could not be used near the city gate in the narrow terrain.
But when he hit the city gate, he had already discovered that all the Ming soldiers on the city had fled, and under the city gate they also found a Ming officer with both legs broken and screaming in pain.
You can recognize him by his official robe. This person is still a seventh-grade civil servant.
Who else could be the seventh-grade civil servant in this ghostly place like Rong County besides the magistrate of Rong County? They immediately sent someone to take him along.
Since there was no Ming army guarding the city at the head of the city, he naturally felt relieved and sent his troops to fight in!
At this time, the Ming army that was fleeing outside the city saw that the cavalry of the puppet Tang rebel army had captured the city gate. Those who dared to continue towards the city gate ran away to both sides.
Seeing this, Lu Yuzhi snorted coldly: I still want to run away at this time, but it's too late!
He immediately led the other eighty or ninety cavalrymen under his command and rushed out from the city gate. His target was naturally the fleeing Ming army fleeing for their lives!
The two legs of the Ming army could outrun the four legs of the cavalry. Soon many Ming soldiers were overtaken!
The overtaken Ming army had only two choices left, either to be killed or to surrender!
Lu Yuzhi's cavalry pursuit could be said to have brought out the maximum power of the light cavalry. Wherever they passed, the Ming army's defeated troops were killed one after another. Some Ming soldiers simply gave up their weapons and surrendered, and some tried to resist.
But most of it is a futile struggle!
After chasing down one side first, Lu Yuzhi also turned around to chase down the Ming army on the other side. After going back and forth for a long time, all the horses in their second cavalry battalion were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth before continuing.
If we continue to chase them with force, I'm afraid these horses will die from exhaustion.
At this time, Lu Yuzhi gave the order to stop the pursuit and return to the county seat!
When the cavalry was chasing outside, Li Chunjing had already led his men into Rongxian County, and commanded the troops to capture important locations in the city.
In fact, Rongxian County is the same as many remote small counties of this era. The urban area is very small. After the army enters the city, it does not take long to reach important areas in the city, such as county offices, warehouses, school grounds, etc. In addition, those left behind in the city
More than a hundred young men and dozens of Ming soldiers had already been routed, leaving no one to resist.
By the time it was approaching evening, Lu Yuzhi had already begun to gather his troops, because at this time the battlefield had been cleaned up, and most of the Ming army's defeated troops in the city had also been cleared. In order to appease the people in the city, they also posted a notice to calm the people, and arranged for the troops to go out.
Patrol the streets to catch broken soldiers and criminals who take advantage of the chaos to burn, kill and loot.
However, it was limited to this. Li Chunjing did not deal with the wealthy households in the city and the low-level officials who were captured or surrendered on their own initiative.
Because these matters have little to do with him, but are matters for the civil servants who are coming behind.
Ma Wei, the prefect of Liuzhou Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, was among the troops at the rear. Whether it was recruiting civilian officials, managing the land, or dealing with the aftermath, that was all Ma Wei's business and had little to do with generals like Li Chunjing.
In order to prevent civilian officials from interfering in military affairs, and to prevent generals from interfering in local government affairs, Li Xuan strictly demanded the separation of civil and military affairs from the beginning.
The generals of the army are only responsible for fighting the war and not managing local affairs.
Similarly, civilian officials only have the power to govern local areas and have no power to mobilize the military at all.
In short, everyone should do their own thing, and don't meddle in other people's affairs.
Therefore, Li Chunjing only controlled the inside and outside of Rong County and issued a notice to calm the people in the name of the military, and did not do much else.
That night, Hao Bainian, who was still on the road, also received the battle report of the Second Infantry Regiment delivered back by a quick horse!
After reading the battle report, he did not show too much joy, because Li Chunjing's battle report said that although the battle was won, the results were great, and his own casualties were only more than a hundred people, but this was still beyond the limit.
Anticipation before the war!
And Li Chunjing also emphatically mentioned that the three thousand Ming troops who fought against them were not ordinary guard soldiers or recruited soldiers, but the local chieftain army in Guangxi, also known as the 'Liao soldiers', also known as the 'Wolf soldiers'.
'.
Moreover, Li Chunjing also included his own evaluation of these soldiers in the battle report. Li Chunjing believed that these soldiers were only average in terms of tactics and the basic quality of the soldiers, and were no better than most of the Ming army's guardsmen.
Its seven-man team tactics are not suitable for the needs of large-scale wars. There are too few spearmen in the front row and lack of heavy armor spearmen. The attached sword, shield and crossbowmen are often unable to provide the front row with sufficient strength in frontal battles.
Too much support from the spearmen.
What's more important is that among this group of seven people, three of them are not engaged in combat tasks, but are only responsible for cutting off heads. Although this situation also occurs in the Ming army, it is not so serious!
Well, it is worth mentioning that this kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen in the Royal Division of the Tang Dynasty, because the Royal Division of the Tang Dynasty does not evaluate the results of the battle based on the first level, but the successful completion of the task as the core basis for evaluating military merit. Secondly,
The number of kills is only calculated as a collective result.
Of course, if there are extremely brave soldiers who are as fierce as tigers and can kill many enemy soldiers in independent battles, then they will definitely have individual meritorious service.
However, this situation is not common, and most of them are only seen among heavy armored sword and shield soldiers. As for spearmen, musketeers, archers, cavalry and other arms, they all fight together. For example, the musketeers fire in a row.
, several enemy troops fell on the opposite side, but who can tell who hit it? It’s impossible to tell!
Li Chunjing doesn't have a high opinion of the basic tactics of the soldiers, nor does he have a high opinion of the soldiers' basic individual qualities!
But there is one thing that is highly praised, and that is the courage of the soldiers to fight to the death. He also said that if the soldiers in Guangxi are up to this standard, then their own army will encounter a lot of trouble when it goes south to fight!
Li Chunjing was worried about this, and Hao Bainian was also quite curious about it. He quickly called Ma Wei, a native of Guangxi, to ask in detail about the situation of these chieftain soldiers.
He even thought that if the soldiers were so good at fighting, would his own Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty be able to recruit local natives to join the army and create a army of soldiers belonging to the Tang Dynasty?
