Chapter 75: Magic Machine Camp
Wu Zheng is very uncertain. It's okay for him to ride a horse, but the other party is a Mongolian cavalry across the grassland desert. Wu Zheng Khan has seen the exquisite skills of the other party and wants to compete with them head-on? Wu Zheng knew that this was suicide, or... Wu Zheng wandered around in the horse team. Now the cavalry went out of the emperor's honor guard, and there were only about 2,000. In the face of the huge lethality and threat of the Tatar cavalry, it basically had no effect. Even if the Tatron retreated, they could not catch up. The "Mongolian shooting method" of the turrets will make them killed when chasing others.
This "Mongolian shooting method" is a famous tactic for the Mongols to sweep the world across Asia and Europe. When the heavily armored cavalry lined up and charged, the Mongolian cavalry were defeated before the confrontation. Relying on their advantages of light armor and simple horse burden, strong endurance and strong flexibility, they constantly shot the opponent's cavalry with the Farah bow of the riding. In most cases. The European knights were exhausted after charging hundreds of meters with an irresistible momentum with a heavy spear several meters long, while the Mongolian cavalry ran away while turning around and shooting the former. This tactic was basically unfavorable.
Wu Zheng himself never thought that His Majesty would be so stupid? Use 2,000 and a half hanging cavalry to stuff the teeth of the tartan? A moment later, Wu Zheng saw that the team had gathered. A general-like man came forward, and Wu Zheng took a look at this person. The man held a long iron knife, with a slight beard under his jaw, a majestic face, and a powerful figure. At a glance, he was a battlefield general. Before the man came to the queue, he took a knife and suddenly touched the handle of the knife down. With a bang, the handle of the knife actually sank into the ground, remembering the dust around him. Wu Zheng's heart trembled suddenly. This tiger general was really majestic. I don't know who it was?
I saw this big knife general open his mouth, and his voice was also powerful, and his momentum was extraordinary. "I'm the garrison general Guan Tianai. Now you are under my command, and now come with me! Oh! Ha!" After saying that, he roared and shocked the horse. Many horses hissed after hearing his strange cry. Wu Zheng hurriedly tightened the rein and controlled the horse, but his heart was a little unhappy. This defense is very interesting..."
Two thousand cavalry were now led by this guard, with a knife in one hand and a rein in the other hand to control the horse. But this big knife is 30 to 40 catties heavy, but it makes it extremely comfortable in his hand.
"Oh! Is this the Guantian Pass guard called 'Guan Zhang Rebirth'? It turned out that this Pass was originally Confucius and powerful, and his martial arts skills were not bad, and he also used a long-handled knife. In addition, the most special thing about him was his strange screaming, and his voice was not only loud but also harsh. In front of the battle, the ghost screamed together and was not only scared, but even their own people felt harsh, as if the flying Zhang Yide shouted at Changbanpo to scare Cao Jun's timid Xiahou to death. So he has something to do with this, that's why he got such a nickname.
With the leadership of Guan Tian Pass, a group of cavalry slowly drove to the front of the team. By this time, the whole army had completely entered the battlefield.
Yingzhou County is not far away, and Wu Zheng can hear his heart beating. With the slow march of the army, the sky has gradually darkened.
Soon, as the last ray of sunlight was covered by the distant mountains, the earth fell into darkness, and the only light was the light in Yingzhou City not far away.
At this time, another messenger came to send an order, ordering the army not to raise the torch. Tonight, the army must be kept hidden, and everything must be carried out in the dark.
Wu Zheng also vaguely guessed the work he had been waiting for. It was impossible for them to carry out any charge cover mission. It should be flank cover...
Far away, Wu Zheng heard the rumble of footsteps, sometimes messy and sometimes neat. It seems that this hasty team is still mixed, and its combat effectiveness is high and low. It is also a difficult task to command the army to fight against the Mongols all the time.
There was another rumbling sound. Wu Zheng turned around and said, "What's going on?" At this time, Wu Zheng noticed that the rumble behind him was the sound of pulling heavy objects.
Wu Zheng saw clearly that it was an artillery.
In the chaotic infantry array behind him, a pair of soldiers appeared sideways. Everyone was holding a firearm. Many people also carried this Dalian pearl cannon. The Thunderarm was carried by two people and fired together.
Among them, many gunners pushed forward and entered the position. General Zankou, copper fire guns, tiger squat guns, general cannons, and Franco machine guns came one after another.
Behind him, the heavy-bearing horse dragged various projectiles, gunpowder, lead bullets and shells. Several war horses dragged these two huge carriages to the vicinity of Wu Zheng and listened to it. Wu Zheng rode carefully on the horse.
"Is this the magic camp?" Wu Zheng has long heard of the name of Shenji Camp, but all kinds of firearms are important items. He has been in Beijing for a long time, and he has never seen the power of this Shenji camp firearm.
In the eighth year of Yongle, when Emperor Yongle conquered his toes, he obtained the magic machine gun and gun method, and specially set up a magic machine camp to learn. In the battle of Mobei, Chengzu has put forward the combat principle of "the magic machine is in the front and the horse team is in the back". The magic machine battalion cooperated with the infantry and cavalry to play an important role, making the application of firearms more professional, and the magic machine battalion has also become a division of the Ming army. The battalion is one of the three battalions of the Beijing Army (the other two battalions are five barracks and 3,000 battalions), equipped with *, firearms, etc., and later added fire rope guns. This independent gun force was in a leading position in China and even countries around the world at that time, about a century before the first Spanish soldier in Europe.
In order to ensure long-term continuous shooting, the magic machine camp usually uses the famous "three-stage attack" tactic, which is divided into three rows. The first row is first shot by soldiers in the first, third and fifth singular positions of the queue, and then by soldiers in the second, fourth and sixth positions of the queue. After each shot, the soldiers in the front row handed back the soldiers in the middle row and took the magic machine with ammunition from the soldiers in the middle row. On the one hand, the soldiers in the middle row are responsible for receiving the magic machine from the hands of the soldiers in the front row and passing them to the soldiers in the third row to load ammunition; on the other hand, they are responsible for taking the magic machines that have been loaded with ammunition from the soldiers in the third row and passing them forward to the soldiers in the front row. With such repeated rotation, the combat effectiveness is very strong.
