Chapter 77 Battle of Tongzhou 4
Hauge closed his eyes in pain. More than two years ago, he saw this scene, but today's scene was staged again in front of him. The Jianzhou cavalry, who were regarded as proud by them, had no power to fight back before the battle of the Dazhong Military Industry. They were slaughtered far away. They built so many women. The sense of glory accumulated after the New Year's War is almost stripped away by others today. The state-building warriors they are proud of actually began to run away shamefully one by one. This time, they are really in big trouble!
The Dazhong army is also unreasonable. In the long-range battle, their artillery is superior, and their muskets are invincible in close combat, so they are very happy at this moment. The artillery of the three artillery battalions, jumping up and down one by one, loaded with ammunition, constantly bombarding the Jiannu array, while several cannons on Jiannu's side can only be weak. Occasionally, he made a counterattack that was better than nothing, causing more or less casualties and trouble for the Dazhong army. It can be said that he was beaten by the Dazhong army, but he was unable to fight back.
Abatai desperately suppressed the soldiers and horses under his command, so that he could not panic. At the same time, he ordered the two defeated Aliha Chaoha Battalion to quickly reorganize the team. He originally intended to kill the Jiala Zhangjing of the two battalions, but after they were defeated, Abatai knew that Jia La Zhangjing, who led the team on the left wing, had already He was killed by the Dazhong army on the spot before the battle, and he couldn't kill him if he wanted to kill him. Although the right-wing Jiala Zhangjing ran back alive, he was also shot. His shoulder blades were almost broken. After coming back, he fell off his horse and fainted. Now killing him is not only useless, but also more demoralized, so Abatai only After a while, the promoters took over the two Khala Zhangjing to control the two Ali Hachaoha camps.
In just a quarter of an hour or two, the Jiannu army left the bodies of hundreds of people and horses in front of the Dazhong army. Some Jiannu soldiers were injured and did not die. They lay on the ground and screamed loudly. Some injured horses also fell to the ground and hissed sadly. There was a desolate scene on the battlefield.
Even the main array of the Jiannu army is not much better. The cannonballs of the large and medium-sized army have been repeatedly ploughed several times in their array, and also killed and injured many Jiannu soldiers. At this time, the morale of the Jiannu soldiers has plummeted, and they have taken the initiative to disperse some, making the team array a little looser, so that one shot falls, and it will kill and injuring. Many people.
Abatai saw that he could not fight quickly, but he did not dare to order a retreat easily, so he had to grit his teeth and insist. Seeing that they suffered a lot in the artillery battle, they could only be beaten by the large and medium-sized military cannons, so he had no choice but to supervise the division mainly infantry and continue to attack the large and medium-sized army.
These Jiannu marches not only have the Han soldiers under the banner of the Han army, but also the Ge Bush sage camp. After receiving the order, they put up the big shield and pushed it to the front one after another, and then gathered together under the cover of the big shield and began to attack the large array of the Dazhong army.
Abatai believes that since the large and medium-sized weapons are powerful and they can't beat them for the time being, then they should find a way to fight close to the big and medium-sized army! You should know that the most important reason why their slave army has built such a big foundation over the years is to rely on these state-building warriors who dare to fight close to the army of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming army has a large number and good weapons, it seriously lacks the courage to fight with the slave army, often if they can't use artillery and bows. If the arrow defeats the Jiannu army that attacks them, once the Jiannu army is asked to stick to them and start a close fight, those Ming soldiers who can't get much military money all year will not red-eyedly copy the guy and fight to the Jiannu army to the end, including the army, they will immediately disperse, and the Ming army can hardly compete with the Jiannu army in the field. To compete, this also makes the Jiannu army so arrogant.
Therefore, Abatai believes that the Dazhong Army is similar to the Ming army, and is also better than firearms, but it is more powerful than the Ming army. Since they are better than firearms, it is certain that the ability to fight close is not good, so it is still possible for him to build a slave army. Dare to win this battle with the advantage of a close battle with the enemy.
Even Hauge, who has suffered the loss of Xing Tianjun, agrees with Abatai's opinion on this point, believing that they can have a try. After all, they have no more choice. Now that their troops are scattered and in a hurry to fight, once they easily retreat, it is likely to turn into a defeat of the whole army under the cover of the Dazhong army. Neither of them can bear it. With such consequences, even if the Dazhong army is strong, they must work hard. Otherwise, even if they escape back to the customs, I'm afraid they will not be able to explain to the Huang Taiji and many Qing elders, so the two immediately supervised the troops and continued to launch an attack on the Dazhong army.
This attack is helpless for Abatai and Hauge. They must defeat each other with inferior strength and firepower as they did before against the Ming army. Otherwise, they will only be beaten by the Dazhong army. Therefore, at this time, Abatai and Hauge dare not cherish the Jiannu in their hands. When the generals were ordered, it could be said that they had issued a death order. No matter how many casualties were, they must attack the Dazhong army and fight closely with the Dazhong army. If anyone dares to retreat without authorization, they will never forgive these generals who retreated without authorization.
So these thousands of slave soldiers began to move forward helplessly, howling with fear, and following the swordsman with the big shield step by step in the sound of the drums, attacking the front line of the Dazhong army, hoping to repel this Dazhong army with their stronger melee ability and save their decline.
In the large and medium-sized army, Xiao Tianjian looked at the enslave soldiers who were attacking in his direction, and immediately guessed Abatai's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing again.
Today is the first time since his Northern Expedition that he has faced an enemy who can fight with them, and it is also the first time that he has faced a Jiannu army. Although Jiannu is known as a good fighter, hasn't his Dazhong army also been fighting with the Ming army for so many years? His slaves have the name of being good at fighting, so doesn't the Dazhong army under his command have the name of good fighting?
In this era, although firearms have gradually become the main weapons on the battlefield, Xiao Tianjian can't know that it is impossible to dominate the battlefield with muskets and primitive artillery on the battlefield before the emergence of sharper hot weapons. For a long time to come, cold weapons are not allowed. If you can withdraw from the battlefield, many times the winner of the battlefield depends on the sword and the gun to decide who is the final winner on the battlefield.
He does not deny that the slave soldiers will be very brave on the battlefield, and they are also very good at close combat, but Xiao Tianjian has always insisted that even the battle of cold weapons does not only rely on personal technical ability, but also more often on the cooperation between soldiers.
And the infantry phalanx he "created" is also carrying out the firepower of the musket, but also carries out the cooperation between the long gunner and the knife player, and exerts the ability of group combat to the extreme. At this point, through nearly eight years of fighting, the power of his infantry phalanx has been thoroughly tested.
He does not deny that if one catches and fights one by one, his soldiers are certainly not the opponents of the Jiannu generals, but one plus one is not equal to two. He believes that these large and medium-sized soldiers and generals he came out can play once they fight collectively. The strength is definitely not weaker than Jiannu.
What's more, he still has an absolute advantage in firepower at present, and the slave army is forced to take the initiative to attack. These hundreds of steps are enough for him to repair the slave soldiers first.
So he pointed to the attacking Jiannu army and said to Liu Yaoben, "First, greet them well with cannons and muskets, and let them even if they approach, it will be the end of the crossbow!" I'd like to see how many catties there are in Abatai and Hagrid. If you have any ability, let them use it! Today, let's defeat them in a dignified field battle!"
Liu Yaoben nodded excitedly and said, "The last general will take the order!" Don't worry, emperor! Please step back a little for the time being and see how the last general will clean up the Jiannu!"
Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "Don't think I've become an emperor, I'm so timid!" I'm here to let the soldiers know that I, Xiao Tianjian, am watching them among them! Just fight this battle well for me!"
Liu Yaoben saw that Xiao Tianjian insisted on retreating, so he had no choice but to look at Tietou. Tietou shook his head helplessly at Liu Yaoben, saying that since Xiao Tianjian refused to retreat, there was nothing he could do about his head, but he then nodded firmly, which was a guarantee for Liu Yaoben. With their Yu Linwei's presence, he will definitely be able to maintain Xiao Tianjian's safety.
So Liu Yao didn't talk nonsense anymore. After nodding, he began to move forward and began to arrange it in the front.
After the three artillery battalions got the order, they immediately began to adjust the muzzle and aimed the muzzle at the front of the battlefield. The gun commander or a gunner who was responsible for aiming immediately began to adjust the muzzle and calibrate the target, and then began to bombard the attacking Jiannu army one after another.
In order to enhance the lethality of artillery, heavy guns were even replaced with flowering bombs that are rarely used. For a while, the artillery on the side of the large and middle armies rumbled, but the side of the Jiannu army screamed repeatedly, especially those eight-pound heavy guns, often with one shell, which can kill a lot of Jiannu. The Jiannu was beaten, and the timid ones were scared on the spot. Crazy, the flowering bomb occasionally roars in the crowd of Jiannu. Often with a bomb point, it can lift a group of Jiannu and stir up the whole team of Jiannu.
Some slave soldiers, especially the Han soldiers with the Han army flag, couldn't stand such shelling. They turned around and tried to escape. They ran smartly to both sides, and the fool ran back. As a result, the fool who ran back was directly cut to the ground by the slave soldiers who supervised the battle. The head was picked up on the long gun to show the public, but ran to both sides. People, it was better, but in the end, they couldn't escape the pursuit of the governor cavalry. They were chased by the Jiannu cavalry one after another and stabbed to the ground with one shot.
In this way, the Jiannu soldiers could not escape. Behind them, there was a supervision team to supervise the battle. They could only continue to attack the Dazhong Army at the fire of Dazhong Army, and left a lot of dead and injured Jiannu soldiers along the way, which looked terrible.
(Today, I was super depressed. I exhausted my new book for more than a month. I got up early and was greedy, and wrote more than 100,000 words. I handed it to the editor and was shot! Depressed! My fragile heart is very hurt! Whoo!)
