The main goal of the Taoist Sect is to eliminate the effective forces of the Zunhuo Sect as much as possible. The focus is on recruiting reinforcements. However, the Zunhuo Sect is not a fool. If it cannot put enough pressure, the reinforcements of the Zunhuo Sect will not try to attack the Taoist Gate head-on.
In other words, the situation at Ise Shrine becomes more critical, and the reinforcements sent by Zunbo are more desperate to rescue. Therefore, Daomen's frontal battlefield in Ise is not a feint attack, but also a real attack, without any sloppiness or deception.
In the battle for victory on the battlefield, there is no one-on-one battle between two generals from each side. Instead, they use all possible means. Therefore, on the Ise battlefield, the person who can play the most effective role is not a certain heavenly being, but hundreds of them.
The planned artillery is first covered with a violent storm of steel, and then the alchemist battalion is used as a supplement during the artillery interval. After crippling the opponent, the army advances, mainly the invulnerable black armor heavy cavalry, combined with various infantry
.
For the Rogue, although the sword in his hand is sharp, he can't see where the enemy is, and there is no place to use it. By the time he really sees his opponent, he has already suffered heavy casualties, and it is difficult to have any room to fight again.
.
Such a battle is very simple to fight. It does not have high requirements for the person who directs the battle, but high requirements for internal strength and logistical supplies. The key is that it costs a lot of money. In other words, only Taoists can have such skill. In comparison, Feng Lin
Zhou is just a link in the trade chain, but Daomen controls the entire trade chain.
On the other side, the Zunping faction organized the largest reinforcement force, nearly 20,000 elite cavalry and more than 100 bannermen, and rushed to support Ise with all their strength.
The Daomen side was commanded by Ding Weiling, who used eight thousand troops to block the elite reinforcements of the Zunbang faction.
At this time, under the telescope sight of Officer Ding Weiling, the cavalry of the Zunhuang faction launched an almost suicidal charge.
This is the last afterglow of cold weapons and the tragedy of an era.
Following Officer Ding Weiling's order, the neatly arranged men in black began to shoot one after another. For a moment, the charging cavalry seemed to have encountered an invisible wall. The cavalry at the front was directly shot through the body and armor by the projectiles, and fell from the horse.
He fell headlong. Viewed from above, the charging cavalry fell down like mowing grass. It was as if there was an invisible stumbling rope that traversed the entire battlefield. Any cavalry who wanted to cross would fall to the ground directly.
Blood mist filled the air and corpses lay everywhere.
The men in black on the Daomen side are holding fire cannons, which are divided into three layers. The outermost layer fires the fire cannons first, and then retreats. Then the second and third layers continue to fire. When firing on the second and third layers, the first layer is loaded with projectiles.
and gunpowder, the three floors took turns firing without any pause.
This is an ancient tactic, placing firecrackers in three rows
, in the formation, the first row retreats, and the next row follows; and if it does not retreat, the second row retreats, and the third row follows.
With the current technology of Taoism, it is not that it cannot develop continuous fire guns, but it is difficult to guarantee the power of continuous fire guns, and it cannot ensure the penetration of armor and warriors' bodies, or the ability to break through protective talismans, infuriating energy and other means. Therefore, Taoism's long guns
It is still a single-shot type. This requires time to reload, so the three-stage shooting tactic is difficult to eliminate and is still practical.
On this basis, Daomen can only further simplify the process of loading ammunition for firearms, speed up the shooting speed, and strive to cause greater damage before the cavalry rushes into the formation. At the same time, it is also equipped with a certain number of handguns with only one round of ammunition. In the melee,
Sometimes, when shooting face to face, you can almost always hit the target. The only disadvantage is that it costs a lot. Every time a war starts, just the amount of ammunition consumed is an extremely shocking number.
After five rounds of volleys of fire cannons, the cavalry troops of the Zunbang faction suffered heavy losses, but they finally approached Daomen's formation.
At this time, the biggest shortcoming of the fire gun becomes apparent, that is, it is weak in close combat. The fire gun is not much better than a fire stick when used in close combat.
The men in black holding fire guns began to retreat, and the spirit officers holding tall shields pushed forward to form a shield wall. Another spirit officer held a spear and thrust forward from the gap between the shields, forming a spear.
Forest.
The cavalry crashed into the shield wall and were pierced by lances, including men and horses.
The two armies were locked together and began to fight in close quarters. The sound of metal clashing and the screams of fighting continued to be heard.
I have to admit that the cavalry of the Zunbang faction are all brave and good at fighting, and the previous volleys of firecrackers have made them understand that if they cannot charge into the formation to win, they will only be slowly worn to death by the Taoists using firearms, so they have to fight to the death.
Fight hard and show no intention of backing down.
The men and horses of both sides were mixed together, weapons collided, blood was splashed everywhere, and people kept falling to the ground. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In storybooks, there are often scenes where the generals of both sides challenge each other in front of the battle before the two armies fight. However, in a serious battle between two armies, there is no one-on-one battle between the generals of both sides. They all sit in command. However, sometimes, the generals still
Taking pride in being able to charge into battle personally, that is, leading soldiers into battle, can greatly boost morale and demonstrate one's own bravery.
Logically speaking, if a general goes into battle in person, it is like an emperor going on an expedition in person, and his subordinates will dissuade him from doing so.
, but the spiritual officials of the Taoist sect are an exception.
At this time, on the side of the Zunhu Faction, the previous charge has been dissipated. If they cannot kill the formation of the crossing gate, the advantage of the cavalry will be completely lost. There will be no second charge and they can only dismount and fight on foot. But the cavalry had to fight on foot in the previous five
Under the volley, there were already heavy casualties. At this time, it was undoubtedly a dream to kill the military formation that penetrated the Daomen.
Official Ding Weiling put away his telescope, replaced it with a sledgehammer, and prepared to join the battle himself.
On the battlefield, the brave are not allowed to advance rashly, and the timid are not allowed to retreat without permission. Thousands of people are like one person, advancing and retreating together. Only by cooperating properly can the maximum combat power be formed. If ordinary people are not heavenly beings or immortals, otherwise it will not make much sense.
.
Lingguan's battle formation consists of eleven people forming a small formation. The large formation is a three-fold formation, which also has three levels. The principle is similar to the three-layer fire gun battle method. The first level is full of fighting, beating drums, slowing down, and beating drums again.
, the second floor rushed past the front floor to engage in the battle, and the front floor commander organized the team. The drums were slowed down, and the drums were beaten again, and the first floor rushed past the second floor to engage in the battle. The original second floor commander organized the team, and so on.
The succession of waves allows the front-line soldiers to always maintain relatively strong physical strength. Like the three-fold wave, you don't notice it at the beginning, but it is full of resilience and full of stamina.
Official Ding Weiling jumped up high, flew directly across the range of the triple formation, and fell behind the cavalry of the Zunbang faction. The giant hammer in her hand, which was about the same size as her, crashed down.
A huge bowl-shaped depression was made at the landing position. The earth shook, and huge ripples visible to the naked eye spread to all directions. All the Zunbang cavalry in the area were shocked to death. People with slightly higher cultivation levels had blood flowing from their seven orifices.
All the internal organs were shattered, and those with lower cultivation levels were simply shaken into clouds of blood mist. Without exception,
After Ding Weilingguan personally entered the battle, it caused great chaos.
The men in black and Lingguan took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and under the leadership of Ding Weilingguan, formed a counterattack trend.
At the same time, the sound of continuous drum beating came from the center position.
When you hear the drum, you advance forward; when you hear the sound of gold, you retreat.
There are also cavalry on the Daomen side, but when Zun Huo sent the cavalry to charge into the formation, they never made any move, and it was only then that they showed their prowess.
The Daomen cavalry have a tight formation, with very small gaps between each cavalry. They are equipped with lances and sabers. The sabers are heavy swords with thick backs. Only such swords can possibly cut through the opponent's heavy armor. If it is a light saber, even if it is
It has the inertia of charging, and it is difficult to cause armor-piercing effects. Then there is the medium-length fire gun, which is a melee weapon that can be operated with one hand and shoot enemies at close range.
After having ammunition, it can also be used as a bone or hammer. Blunt weapons are more effective against armor than ordinary sharp weapons.
Amidst the rapid sound of war drums and the rumble of horse hooves, the Daomen cavalry, which had been preparing for a long time, finally appeared on the battlefield.
Daxuan was founded in the Nether State of Shuofang. The Renkui River in the north is a water virtue, so it advocates the color of black. The upper and lower parts are mainly black, so Daxuan's army is called the men in black.
The thousands of cavalrymen who rushed out at this time were all black armor and black horses, like two black dragons.
Although Taoists attach great importance to firearms, they do not underestimate the cavalry either.
With the development of firearms, there has been a negative view of cavalry within Taoism and the imperial court. Some people believe that with the popularity of flying boats and the application of firearms, the existence of cavalry is no longer necessary.
However, the prevailing view is that the cavalry will still play an important role in future wars. The cavalry should not only continue to exist, but also strengthen its quality construction.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, the Governor of Xizhou issued a protesting opinion. He believed that the history of the cavalry is the history of the period when it was lifted up and the period when it fell. The cavalry has three basic characteristics.
First, it has great rapidity; second, it is able to combine great mobility with devastating assaults on horseback that involve extensive use of firepower and other weapons; third, it is very close unity among all members.
In the end, the cavalry was retained, and the black-armored heavy cavalry, in which both men and horses were armored like steel chariots, was developed.
Although these cavalrymen in black are not black-armored heavy cavalry, their armors are all new-style armors. The armor leaves are strong and fine. Ordinary projectiles and arrows will even be directly bounced away. Even the arrows from the cavalry bows that are closer will only be inserted in the
The armor looks scary, but it does not affect the combat. Only the lances and heavy artillery of the elite warrior cavalry can cause effective damage.
After the men in black cavalry entered the battlefield, the Zunping faction began to retreat completely. Their individual qualities should not be underestimated. The reason for such a complete defeat was firstly because of their tactics and secondly because of the huge gap in weapons between the two sides.
It has reached the point where it is difficult to make up for it with manpower. Not to mention the difference in craftsmanship, the amount of money spent is also heaven and earth.
To put it bluntly, the Taoist army is made of real money and silver. Only those with money can use firearms regardless of the cost. To run a country and an army, to put it bluntly, it is a problem. Where does the money come from and where does it go? Solving this problem,
This solves more than 80% of the problem. This is also the biggest problem in all dynasties. I don’t know where the money comes from, let alone where it goes.
