Chapter 40 Battle of Inner Hill 1

In fact, enggetu has already fainted with heartache at this moment. There are not many Mongolian soldiers under his banner, but today he has lost a small half, and even more than half of the war horse. They came out to rob, not to be robbed, but today they have become the victim. This time, enggetu calculates. It's a big loss.

However, the failure of Mongolia's Zhenghongqi also made Du Dudu begin to pay attention to the enemy who came to attack them. He didn't know much about the name of Xing Tianjun, but he also knew that it was not the official army of the Ming court that came to fight him this time, but a civil army that rebelled against the imperial court. He said that he really hit a ghost today, Ming official The army was beaten by them, but a Ming rebels wanted to trouble him. This really didn't pay attention to him, so he immediately gathered the soldiers and began to face the direction of Xing Tianjun's attack.

This time, he did not support him any more, but gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and the soldiers and horses of the two banners of Mongolia, with a total of more than 7,000 people. They stopped at a place called Guanzhuang, fifteen miles south of Neiqiu County, and opened the formation and stopped the way of the Xing Tianjun led by Luo Li and Li Xin.

Four thousand to seven thousand, Luo Li's side is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but Luo Li is so bold that he doesn't pay attention to it at all. Along the way, he talked and laughed with Li Xin and his generals. As a result, Li Xin admired this guy to death, and of course, his confidence increased a lot.

When the two armies met, Du Du Du originally wanted to send someone to ask what the enemy was, but Luo Li didn't say much to him at all. He directly scolded the questioning guy sent by Du Du and told Du that they were Xing Tianjun. If Du Du knew each other, he would quickly arrest them as Daming. The people also handed over the stolen money, livestock and grain to get out of here, otherwise they would be rude to Dudu.

Du Du was furious. Even if he sent troops to kill the Xing Tianjun led by Luo Li, the two sides then launched a big war in Guanzhuang.

The Neiqiu area is the plain terrain of Yima Pingchuan. There is no terrain available on both sides. It is the battle between the two sides, while Dudu believes that he has an advantage in military strength. At the same time, in his opinion, the Han people are not even their opponents, let alone the rebel civilian army, so they despise it. It's still not completely converging.

When the two armies were about to fight, Du Du immediately chose to take the initiative to attack and sent two cavalry from both sides to attack the Xingtian army, while his foot army was facing the main attack of the Xingtian army. In his opinion, such a scene was a face for the enemy. Under the three-phase attack, this Ming thief army would not collapse. It's strange.

After watching the launch of the Tatron, Luo Li was not nervous. As soon as he met Li Xin, he divided the two battalions in the front, the cavalry lined up behind the array, and the artillery of the two battalions was placed in the front of the center. The muzzles of more than 20 three-pound guns pointed to the front of the Tatar army.

The scene of thousands of people and horses acting together was quite large, and these red flag-encrusted Tatar soldiers were also quite fierce. After the array, they showed fierce light and pushed up step by step with bows and shields. In addition, some of the cannons they captured on this trip were pulled out and began to set up to prepare to fire artillery at the Xing Tianjun. Unfortunately, there were too few cannons in red that they entered the bandits this time, and most of them were taken to Julu County by Dorgun to deal with Lu Xiangsheng. As a result, Du Du had basically only some Franco machines captured by the hands of the Ming army, and the gunners were also temporarily captured by some of the Ming army gunners.

These Ming Army gunners did not dare to neglect under the coercion of the butcher's knife of Tartars. They loaded the cannons in a hurry and wanted to fire at Xing Tianjun. Without waiting for them to set up the Fran machine gun, the Xing Tianjun's three-pound cannons began to fire one after another.

The shells of the three-pounder cannon jumped into the artillery array of the Tatarmen. The unprepared tartans and those captured Ming gunners were also the advantage of the Xing Tianjun. Under the training of Xiao Tianjian, they knew what to aim first. Without the instructions of Luo Li and Li Xin, they collectively targeted the artillery of the Tatar soldiers and solved these troubles first.

More than 20 three-pound guns fired at the same time. Although they are not as powerful as the six-pound guns and eight-pound guns in the artillery battalion, they should not be underestimated. Moreover, the field guns of the Xingtian Army are cast according to the casting method of Hongyi cannons. In addition, they have the technical advantages of iron mold casting guns. The range and power of the artillery are far greater than those of the Ming army of the same level. It is the cannons of the Tartar soldiers, and although some of the Fran machine guns captured by the Tartars are slightly larger in diameter, the range is far less than that of the three-pound guns of the Xingtian Army, and Du Du did not know the power of the artillery of the Xingtian Army. As soon as he pulled them out, he placed these cannons within the effective range of the three-pound guns of the Xingtian Army. .

As a result, in the artillery battle, even if the Tartar's artillery team was covered by many shells, even if the three-pound cannon was not equipped with flowering bullets, its power could not be underestimated. As a result, the dust suddenly flew in the Tartar artillery array. The Tartar soldiers and the broken arms of the captured Ming army flew horizontally, and the two French planes that had just been set up. Then they were smashed up and beat these Ming prisoners of war to run away.

It didn't give the Ttars a chance to fight back at all. The first round of shelling of Xing Tianjun made them unable to fight. After the first round of proof shooting, the artillery of Xing Tian's Battalion quickly loaded and adjusted the muzzle again and was ready for the second round of launch. At this time, the Ttar Artillery was still a chaotic field. On the face, the angry Taritan soldiers repeatedly cut down many panicked Ming prisoners and forced them to return to the gun rack to continue to prepare for artillery counterattack. It was not until they began to fire back, but in panic, the firing accuracy of these tatar cannons was very low, and some shells simply couldn't find the north. Basically, the losses caused to Xing Tianjun are very limited.

After adjusting the muzzle of the Xing Tianjun, the gunners then began the second round of volley. This time, more than 20 three-pound cannons were hit much more accurately, and the shells almost without exception fell into the tartar array more than 200 steps away. Although in this era, no matter how good Xing Tianjun's skills are, it is impossible to cast a big The accuracy of the gun is guaranteed to hit the point target hundreds of steps away within the accuracy of the meter level, but the accuracy of these guns can still be satisfied by aiming at surface targets such as the gun array 200 steps away. As a result, after the second round of strifire, the Tatar's artillery array is basically useless.

Du Du's eyes suddenly widened. He did not expect that the artillery of the Ming rebels was so sharp, and a ominous feeling suddenly rose in his heart. Since they followed the wild boar skin, they have fought with the Ming army, and they have also suffered the losses of the Ming army cannons. Over the years, they have also been very heavy. Depending on the development of cannons, the Han craftsmen who captured and defected to them have also cast a lot of cannons. However, although these cannons are very powerful, they are also very heavy, ranging from thousands of catties to thousands of catties in weight. It is very inconvenient to travel with the army. They did not bring much this time, and they can only rely on the Ming army captured along the way. The cannons came to supplement them, but they didn't expect to fight, and they were beaten by the criminal thief army opposite. I'm afraid there will be more casualties in the next battle.

The result was similar to what Du Du expected. After suppressing the artillery array of the Tatar, the gunners of the Xingtian Army immediately turned the turret and began to aim at the Tatar infantry that rushed over, and the tactics of the Tatar infantry were not much different from those of the Ming army. In a dense team, the shield is in front, the archers are behind, and behind are the armored soldiers responsible for charging. Such a team is exactly the target of the Xingtian weapons.

With the sound of gunshots like a shower, the smoke of gunpowder suddenly shrouded around the Xingtian Army's array. The firemans with two wings were the first to open fire, because the Tatar cavalry had begun to rush into their range at this time, intending to attack and disturb the Xingtian Army from both sides to create a favorable battle for the frontal attack. Once the sound of the machine is as dense as a popping bean, it will almost stop. The biggest advantage of Xing Tianjun's phalanx is that the arrangement of the fire hand in any direction is basically the same. There is no weakness. The fire hand is concentrated on the four corners. No matter the enemy in any direction comes, it must face them directly. Two groups of firemans fired in unison.

The number of two Tasars cavalry is not large. As soon as the firearms on both sides fire, they know the pain of the Mongolian soldiers who escaped from the Mongolian red flag. The firearms of the Xingtian Army are indeed extremely sharp. At a distance of about a hundred steps, they can cause great damage to their horses. Within 70 steps, their armor It is almost irresistible. Within fifty steps, it can be said to be a forbidden place of death. As long as people and horses are shot, whether they are armored or not, they will only be seriously injured or killed on the spot. Moreover, the launch rate of Xingtian's arms gunners is so high, which is also something they can't understand. There is only a gap between rows of fireballs. Such firepower is almost endless. No matter how they attack, they can't rush to the front of the Xingtian Army. All the understanding of these Tataritan soldiers about the fire has been overthrown here. Although they are extremely brave and rushed to the Xing Tianjun one after another, they have been punished within 50 steps. The fire of the Tianjun bombarded to the ground. Even if there were some individuals with strong resistance to fight, or the Tatar cavalry who were not beaten rushed to the front of the Xingtian Army, but what was waiting for them was a row of long guns like Lin, so that they could not rush into the large array of the Xing Tian Army at all.

At most, a few Tatar cavalry rushed to the formation of the Xingtian Army and opened their bows and arrows to try to disrupt the array of the Xingtian Army in this way. Unfortunately, their number is limited, and the discipline of the Xingtian Army is also very strict. The soldiers of the Xingtian Army who hit the arrow fell to the ground, and someone will immediately take their place. He continued to face their shooting indifferently, and there was no chaos at all, and the wounded soldiers who were hit by the arrows would be immediately rushed into the battle for rescue. After several charges, the two satar cavalry with two wings suffered a lot of losses, but failed to achieve the purpose of disrupting the Xingtian army.
