Chapter 469 War is always changing

A black flag treasure ship is lying across the sea, especially when it has not yet shown its power, its deterrence is not that great.

Because the size of a boat isn't everything.

For example, Japan's large-scale bird ship has a ship shape of nearly 40 meters, which is less than ten meters smaller than the largest bird ship, and is about the same size as a conventional large bird ship.

However, due to the hull structure and ocean-going capabilities of Guan Ship, even large-caliber artillery was not dared to be loaded.

The Portuguese and the Dutch had never encountered a black flag treasure ship. A few people had heard of the treasure ship's achievements, but they upheld the naval pride and confidence of powerful ocean-going colonial countries, and mostly regarded it as a routine bragging and exaggeration by the indigenous people.

The Hizen Clan also attached great importance to targeting the Toribune because they were burned by the Toribune before, and relied on hired armed merchant ships and their warships to rely on Iki Island to resist.

In addition to summoning merchant ships, large-caliber French guns, also known as red-coat guns, were also brought in for use on Iki Island.

The implementation of many countermeasures did make Lin Wang hesitate.

The day after the armed merchant ships joined the Japanese fleet, the Black Flag Navy withdrew the sailors from Iki Island, and the next day, the Black Flag Navy withdrew to Tsushima Island.

Lin Wang decided to wait until reinforcements arrived.

That was during the naval battle.

Thousands of miles away in the grassland desert of Outer Mongolia, the Black Blue Banner and the Black Red Banner also had several collisions with the Khalkha-Mongol coalition.

Since the last time the two banners received news about the movements of the Khalkha-Mongolian coalition, the two banners unanimously decided to move to the northeast first and capture the thousands of Chechen Khan tribes wandering there.

The son of Zu Dashou, Zu Zeqing, the Black and Red Banner Jia La Zhang Jing, served as the vanguard in this battle, leading the Black and Red Banner Jia Cavalry, that is, the Guan Ning cavalry that did not even need to change the color of the armor after the adaptation, attacked lightly. When the Wanhu tribe was attacked by the army and moved, they were forced to attack.

Attack its main force and cause chaos among its tribes!

Then the armies of the two banners defeated the tribe, but many escaped.

Then the army continued to move north.

Traveling to the Bayanja Golan area, they encircled and suppressed two hundred tribesmen of the Tushetu Khan tribe who failed to escape in time.

Subsequently, the army encountered the forward troops of the Khalkha Mongols, and the two sides took up positions in Bayanja Golan and began to prepare for a war.

Before the war, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Yuluo thought about taking the initiative to use their military talents, but Cheng Kuo and Zu Dashou did not give much face this time, and their words of admonishment became more direct. With Fang Yizhi's urging and Tang Tong's advice,

The two of them passively received military information from their respective flags and waited and watched for a while.

The two armies camped around a green space. The two flags, black, blue, black and red, occupied the water source of a small lake in the green space of Bayanja Golan and stationed themselves beside the lake.

Great wars and conflicts also began around this small lake.

The Khalkha Mongolian tribe wanted to take water from the northern part of the lake, but the Black Banner refused to let them go. The Black and Blue Banner sent thousands of people to dig trenches and establish a stronghold in the north of the lake.

The Khalkha Mongols then attacked.

However, they were repulsed by the low hills and vehicle formation formed by the black and blue flags relying on piles of soil.

The next day, the Khalkha Mongols wanted to advance and completely occupy the northern part of the small lake.

The entire Black and Blue Banner army moved into action. During the confrontation between the two armies, the Black and Blue Banner took the lead in firing!

The army's hundreds of light artillery pieces mounted on the backs of livestock fired at once! The Khalkha-Mongolian coalition forces on the opposite side were caught off guard! The Khalkha-Mongolian forces fired back, but the artillery was scattered and not in groups. Subsequently, the black and red flags joined the artillery battle, and the firepower of the two flags

It was so ferocious that it directly repelled the Khalkha-Mongolian coalition forces! They did not dare to step forward and engage in gunfire with Black Flag.

After that, the Khalkha coalition retreated directly to the back of a rolling hill, using the hill as a bunker against artillery, and completely transformed into a defensive position.

It was not until the Zasak Tuhan army arrived two or three days late that the Khalkha-Mongolian coalition became a complete unit. Nearly 90,000 troops were placed on the grassland. Even if it was a home battle, many Mongolian regimes were still absolutely defeated.

Impossible gathering of military power!

Because of this, the Khalkha Mongols gained some confidence.

Living Buddha Jebtsundamba finally showed up and negotiated with the two great lamas from the Black and Red Banners and the Black and Blue Banners, hoping to use the dual oppression of military force and religion to force the armies of the two banners to withdraw from the grassland.

But.

There are also struggles within religions, with different factions, and the dignity of living Buddhas has plummeted.

Furthermore, Ma Chisong and Morgan held the method of cowpox given by the Black Flag King Wuerte, and set out on the grassland to spread their faith in the name of Buddha and expand their followers through this method. They could not be persuaded to retreat with just a few words.

On the contrary, Jebtsundamba was insulted by the two great lamas and became very angry.

Although the image of the Buddha is required in front of people, the Khalkha Mongols took the initiative to attack the black, blue, black and red flags the next day, which shows their thoughts.

Although this battle was large in scale, it was not very tragic.

At least that's the case for Black Flag.

Because the gap in strength was quite large, the Black Flag Firearms Battalion, under the leadership of Cheng Kuo, did not hold back and directly joined the battle.

The two black flags were in a formation with their backs to the lake. They first used artillery to attack the enemy, then the musketeers and armored spearmen advanced forward. The cavalry guarded the two wings and stood ready. The heavy-armored flag men were in the center ready to charge at any time.

The firearms battalion was arrayed separately next to it. Each firearm had a bayonet installed on it. The breastplate was black and reflective. The breastplate, which had been eliminated by the breastplate when it was just made, could only be integrated with the ammunition pouch and tied to the back.

, below is the cotton armor with gold thread rivets, fine leather riding boots, and a hat, the equipment is unusually neat.

The battle begins.

First, the black flag bombardment attacked the enemy pressing forward.

As the banner leaders, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Yuyao each wore heavy armor. Looking out from among the black guards, they could vaguely see the frontline musketeers firing first.

Through the gaps in the smoke, a large number of archers on the front line of the Khalkha-Mongolian coalition in the distance fell like wheat in the continuous gunfire. Their musketeers' counterattacks seemed particularly weak in front of the large-scale musketeers with black flags!

The Khalkha-Mongolian coalition responded with artillery fire. Occasionally, artillery shells caused considerable losses to the concentrated Black Flag Musketeers!

Therefore, the Black Flag general began to actively urge the formation to press forward.

Playing with firearms is Black Flag's forte.

But so does hand-to-hand combat.

Even stronger.

"Block! Shield! Arrows are ready! Sky-shaking thunder is also ready! First-class armored men! Go to the center!"

The general's roar contained hysteria and great excitement.

Having experienced battles for a long time, he knew as soon as he saw the herdsmen archers and spearmen wearing only leather jackets at the forefront of the opposite side! The battle achievements were right in front of him!

"kill!"

The armored troops rushed to the front with excitement and even fanaticism! Bows and arrows were drawn! They were always ready to drop their heavy bows, draw their weapons and charge towards the opposite side! Even if the opposite side's guns and arrows were coming towards them, they would not flinch!

Those previous promotion examples are still vivid in my mind. It’s my grandson and my master! It’s today!

On the other side, the Black Flag Firearms Battalion was exposed alone on the grassland without any cover from other military services, which naturally attracted the attention of the Khalkha Mongols.

If an elite musketeer unit without cover is defeated, it is very likely that the balance of the battlefield will be completely tilted!

Upon seeing this, the Khalkha Allied Forces directly sent five thousand elite cavalry to make a detour! They gradually approached and when the distance was suitable, they launched a massive charge towards the Black Flag Firearms Battalion in two directions!
