Chapter 76 Battle of Tongzhou 3
It is true that the two slaves of the Alihachao Ha Battalion urged the war horses to roar and run to the two wings of the Dazhong Army one by one. The slaves took off their bows from the back of the horse, pulled out the arrows from the bag in their hands, put them on the bow string, and was ready to ride and shoot.
Although the Jianzhou female real Harroth soldiers, although they dare not say that they are all sharpshooters, they are semi-nomadic and semi-cultivated people who have been living in harsh natural environments all year round. Everyone has to learn to use bows and arrows from an early age, and often participate in various conflicts, so that they have been trained since childhood, so that everyone has become As a qualified archer and knight, this is because their life has long been forced to have such skills, and among these Tatar soldiers, there are also many Mongolians. These Mongolians themselves are nomads. They have lived on horseback since childhood, so they are also masters in horse riding and archery.
Therefore, when the hand soldiers go to war, whether they are vest soldiers or armor soldiers, they are archers. Everyone is equipped with hard skills. For example, their vest soldiers are equipped with two bows, one bow and one riding bow. When riding on a horse, they use a bow. When fighting on the ground, they can immediately take out the bow and turn them into a qualified one. The infantry archers, so the slaves claimed to have one to three on the battlefield. In fact, it makes sense. They can fight when they get on the horse, and they can still fight when they get off the horse. They can not only charge and fall into the battle, but also all of them are qualified archers. This is something that the Han people of the farming nation can't compare with it. In the army of the Han people, the arms The skills are relatively simple. The cavalry is the cavalry, the infantry is the infantry, and the archer is the archer. Few people can capture all kinds of skills. If there are, it must be a strong man in the army, but such people are very few in the Han army. They are not as popular as the Jiannu and the Mongols. This is also the military battle of Jiannu. No one can deny that there is a strong fighting force.
The tactics that these Tarot cavalry are most good at using are actually not the tactics of rushing, but the tactics that their nomads have used for thousands of years and are repeatedly tried and disturbing tactics. They will not easily launch a desperate impact on the tight enemy array, unless they are at the end of the road. Otherwise, their military generals will be brain-damaged or drunk, or they may have lived enough to commit suicide.
Unless the cavalry is a heavily armored cavalry, in general, in the face of a very neat enemy marching regiment, it is impossible to easily disperse the enemy's infantry group at all. Just a forest of long spears can kill them, so as long as they are not stupid or crazy, they will only use attack and harassing tactics to deal with the enemy's steps. The army is in array.
From the earliest Huns, to the invincible Mongolian army, to the current Jiannu army, the main tactic they used to start the army is still this kind of tactic of exchanging soup for thousands of years, but not to mention that when dealing with the Han army in the Central Plains, it is really tried and often can achieve miraculous results.
Unfortunately, today they chose the wrong target. The target they chose today is far more tactically than their large and medium-sized army, and a large number of large quantities of muskets are equipped, so their move is no longer so effective.
The two slaves, the slaves of Ali Ha Chaoha Battalion, one by one urged the war horses to shout and cheer for themselves, while bending their bows and arrows. After rushing close to the front of the Dazhong Army, they threw their arrows to kill and disrupt the front of the Dazhong Army, but their kind of The Dazhong Army has long known how to deal with it.
On the two-winged chariot, there were two gunners each. They operated the two small Fran machine guns on the chariot, constantly adjusted the muzzle, and slowly aimed at the construction soldiers who rushed towards them. In addition, a large number of firemen began to board the chariot under the command of the officers and mounted a flinch gun on the chariot. On the card, relying on the card, he began to aim at the oncoming Jiannu cavalry.
And these firemen were ordered to aim at Jiannu's horses as much as possible to improve their hit rate. Only those first-class shooters were allowed to accurately aim and shoot those slave generals in the enemy's cavalry.
After so many years of operation, the fireman of the large and medium army is now also divided in detail by the armies. According to the assessment results conducted every three months, the fireman is divided into one, two, three and a total of four levels. The special shooter is also the magic shooter. Among the rest of the third-class shooters, the first-class shooter is the master of the fireman in the army. Force, after such a division, the firearms of the Dazhong Army have a new method of warfare, that is, at the time of war, the first-class shooters in the army are the main shooters responsible for shooting, while the second-class and third-class shooters are mainly responsible for the first-class shooters, filling ammunition, and constantly providing them with loaded muskets for this Some first-class firemans are responsible for accurately shooting the enemy. Only when the first-class shooters in the front are removed, the second-class shooters will take their place and continue to fire. This method undoubtedly greatly improves the shooting lethality of the fireman in wartime, and gradually begins to push them in the middle army. It's widened.
So all the firemans who board the chariot are all first-class shooters and sharpshooters among the firemans. With this kind of flult gun in their hands, these people can easily hit targets the size of the human body at a distance of about 100 steps. Among them, the sharpshooters can even shoot the moving target, so at a distance of 100 steps. Come on, it's not a problem to shoot the horses of the Jiannu cavalry.
The officers not only play the role of command, but also take into account the work of visually measuring the enemy's distance. They also closely watched the oncoming Jiannu cavalry on the chariot, silently calculating the distance of the Jiannu cavalry from them.
When the construction slave army roared and rushed close to their defense line for 80 to 90 steps, the firearmed officers on these chariots began to wave their hands and gave orders to open fire.
In terms of the power of the 12-millimeter-caliber pyro-fire gun made by the Dazhong Army, there is no problem in breaking the iron armor at a distance of 70 steps. It is very easy to shoot armor-free targets a hundred steps away. The 50-step distance can easily kill the enemy wearing two pieces of armor, which is more powerful than the birds used by the Ming army. Many, directly chasing the sharpest power of Lu Miqi in the Ming army, even compared with Lu Miqi, is not much.
So fire at a distance of 80 or 90 steps, and the target is mainly the enemy's unarmed war horse, which is completely competent for this kind of flult gun of the Dazhong army.
The Jiannu cavalry were excited as if they had beaten chicken blood one by one, shouting strangely and charging towards the Dazhong army. In fact, what they did was mainly to create an image of brave and good at fighting and not afraid of death for themselves. On the other hand, they were also cheering for their hearts. Bi When you rush up, you will face a death that may come at any time. As long as you are a human, you will feel more or less nervous, so shouting is a way to vent this tension for soldiers. In addition, they also want to create fear for the enemy through this roaring sound. Sometimes they just urge the horse to roar. When Xiang Mingjun was in the morning, he was scared that the Ming army collapsed by himself.
"Stabilize! Calm down! In the large and medium-sized army, low-level officers shouted loudly to their subordinates from time to time. After all, not everyone in the soldiers is a nervous person. Some people are still timid. The shouts of the officers can undoubtedly make them feel at ease, which is also the value of low-level officers in the army. They can become the backbone of the soldiers. At the critical moment, they can bring a sense of security to the soldiers and let the soldiers know what to do.
At this time, on the medium-sized army chariot, a series of gunshots suddenly began to sound. The fireman standing on the car had already aimed at a target. After hearing the officer's order to fire, he did not hesitate to gently pull the trigger, and the hammer immediately acted as a spring plate. It fell down and hit the flint of the fire door heavily, hitting a mass of Mars. Mars fell into the open fire door and ignited the induced the inducedr in the door of fire. The musket suddenly fired and fired the projectile in the gun.
The Jiannu soldiers rushing to the front are actually a little scared now, because they have also attacked the Ming army's large array many times before, and the number of firearms equipped by the Ming army is really a lot, but the Ming army is not as calm as the Dazhong army. Often when they roar and start to launch a charge, sometimes they are far away from Ming. There are still one or two hundred steps away from the military front. The Ming munitions can't stand the psychological pressure and begins to fire without authorization. As long as a person opens fires, it will trigger all the fires. At such a long distance, it is difficult for sharp birds to kill and injure Jiannu, let alone the three-eyed gun with a short range. In addition to sounding lively and spectacular, the Ming army often can't kill and injure many construction soldiers.
Therefore, Jiannu used this method, which often caused the Ming army to panic. Regardless of it, they opened fire together outside the effective range, which wasted their ammunition in vain. Jiannu took this opportunity to accelerate to rush to the Ming army at a very small cost. Once the Ming army opened fire, it would take a long time to load it again. Especially when they were in battle, they were extremely nervous. In a hurry, they could not even complete the reloading of the fire in their hands. As a result, they immediately became a group of guys with fire sticks, and could only wait for the Jiannu cavalry to rush up to slaughter them!
Therefore, it seems that the Ming army is equipped with a large number of advanced firearms, but often when facing the Jiannu army, which is mainly based on bows and arrows, the advantage of this advanced weapon is wasted by the Ming army in vain. In the end, instead of relying on advanced weapons and tactics to defeat the Jiannu army, he was burdened by it and was often beaten by Jiannu. A big loss.
But on the other hand, this situation also brings side effects to Jiannu, that is, to make Jiannu more credulous. Their bows and arrows are more powerful than firearms, so that they are used to this way to deal with firearms.
At the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Jiannu met the Xing Tianjun because of the psychology they formed, and he suffered a great loss in front of the Xing Tianjun. The Xing Tianjun is different from the Ming Army. Under the efforts of Xiao Tianjian, Xing Tianjun has always adhered to the policy of elite soldiers. The obedience of the generals far exceeds that of the ordinary Ming Army, and The promotion of the use of three-stage or five-stage muskets in the army formed an endless firepower before the battle, which made the Jiannu army led by Dorgun and Yue Tuo repeatedly defeated by the Xingtian Army at that time, and the advantage of the cavalry could not be fully exerted. However, now Abatai has followed their footsteps and sent troops to the Dazhong army again. Such a charge.
With the approach of the Aliha Chaoha Battalion of the two battalions of Jiannu, the firearms of the two wing fronts of the Dazhong Army began to fire almost at the same time. In addition, they are basically first-class shooters who are responsible for shooting accurately. At a distance of 80 or 90 steps, the projectiles they launch can basically cause damage to the enemy's horses and even cavalry. The killing and injury, these Jiannu cavalry rushing in front of them, almost like hitting an invisible knife wall together. The horses let out a sad hisss one after another. One by one, they were shot, sprayed blood and then fell to the ground one after another, and the slave cavalry on their backs fell to the ground heavily.
When entering the distance of 80 or 90 steps, the speed of the slave cavalry had been mentioned very high. Suddenly, they were hit by this blow. Seeing that the robes in front of them were shot and fell to the ground, the slave cavalry behind them still maintained a high speed and continued to attack forward. There was no time to hold the reins at all, and their military orders were not. Allow them to stop, they must also continue to charge, otherwise it is the crime of escaping from the battle, so even if they see that the slaves in front of them are not injured or killed, they can only rush over, knock them away or trample on them under the hoofs of the horses. Poor these slaves whose horses were knocked over. There was no chance to get up and escape for his life at all, so they were trampled to death by their peers.
And these Jiannu cavalry themselves are also very clear that once the enemy opens fire, they stop and are looking for death. They provide the enemy with time to reload in vain. Although they know the danger ahead, they can only choose to continue to charge and kill the enemy before the enemy loads and fires again. Only then can greater casualties be avoided, so at this time, it is actually a wise choice for them to continue to charge.
But it's a pity that if their charge is replaced by dealing with the Ming army, it may have a good effect, but today they are facing the Dazhong army. The Dazhong army is not a vegetarian. After completing the first round of volley shooting, the firearms on the chariot or in front of the array immediately handed over the empty muskets. He took the robe behind him and took the loaded musket from the brother behind him at the same time. He immediately raised it up and aimed again, and soon launched it again.
The vest soldiers who built slaves were unlucky. After a batch was knocked over, they rushed up another batch, but then they were knocked over immediately, and then a batch came up. However, the firemen of the opposite middle army did not seem to need to reload at all, just keep fire back and forth, and did not give them any at all. A chance to breathe.
Such a charge of the Jiannu cavalry is almost like death. Some slaves looked at the bodies of their fallen comrades and the rolling horses in front of them, and they couldn't help but be afraid. They are also human beings, and they don't want to die, especially like today. The slaughter of chickens and dogs was meaningless, so many Jiannu began to be afraid. Unexpectedly, many people began to shoot arrows in panic at a distance of sixty or seventy steps, and then turned the horse's head and began to collapse on the battlefield.
Abatai's mouth was wide open, and his chin almost fell on his chest. He stared at the two battalions of Ali Hachaoha under his command in a daze. He was slaughtered by a large group of chickens and dogs by the Dazhong army. In his opinion, the rest were actually one by one by one. At the beginning of the battle, they turned the horse's head and fled back to defeat. They didn't even touch the front line of the Dazhong army. This stormy charge disintegrated under the continuous muskets of the Dazhong army.
