Chapter 155 Long live
In the novel, there are often scenes where the two armies fight one-on-one fights in front of the formation before the two armies fight. It cannot be completely wrong. For example, the Northwest Army is like this when it comes to the monks' soldiers, mainly because it is afraid of harming the fish.
However, there is no single battle between the two armies in a serious battle between the generals of both sides, and they are all in charge. However, generals below the chief general are proud to be able to charge in person, that is, lead soldiers to charge in battle. One is to greatly boost morale, and the other is to show their own courage. Sometimes some chief generals will even get into battle. This is also the reason why a large number of generals at the first time in Liaodong war. When they came to the front line, there was almost no way out. Apart from winning, they could only die in battle.
Logically speaking, the general himself was like an emperor personally leading the army and was about to be dissuaded by his subordinates, but Qin Qing was an exception.
After Qin Qing slashed fifty people with one sword, the morale of the Liaodong side suddenly increased and cheered loudly, as if the mountains were yelling and thundering.
On the other hand, after rushing into the chariot camp, the previous charge was already dissolved by the chariot camp. If it could not be killed, the cavalry's advantage would be lost. There was no second charge, and they could only take off the horse and fight in the field. They originally expected to be able to cut off the opponent's coach's flag, but they did not expect that their fifty warriors were killed by the opponent's coach with one sword. The morale suddenly weakened to the extreme, and the two sides increased and decreased, and the balance was broken, and the situation was reversed.
During the First Liaodong War, the reason why the Liaodong border army lost to the Jinkou army was not because of the firearms. Although the Liaodong border army was not as good as the Liaodong cavalry today, it was equipped with a considerable number of firearms. The key was close-killing hand-to-hand combat. The Jinkou cavalry often launched a charge like before. Under the strong attack of the firearms, the infantry often collapsed early, but the cavalry was able to resist due to rapid charges due to inertia. As long as they rushed into the chariot camp and began to fight hand-to-hand combat, the Liaodong border army would be defeated.
Therefore, when Lu Guangbi was in charge of Liaodong, he advocated relying on cities to defend, which was of the advantage of firearms and the strength of the city walls. It was difficult to break through the city with a golden tent dominated by cavalry. After Yuan Nanhai took over as the governor of Liaodong, he underestimated the enemy and rashly launched a large-scale field battle, which eventually led to the annihilation of the entire Liaodong border army.
Qin Qing had been practicing martial arts for many years, so he naturally would not make the previous mistakes again.
On the one hand, we strengthen the firearms, further simplify the process of loading ammunition in the firearms, speed up the shooting speed, and strive to cause greater damage before the cavalry rushes. At the same time, we are equipped with a certain number of hand guns, with only one round of ammunition. In a melee, face-to-face shooting can almost be won. The only disadvantage is that it costs a lot. Every time we start a war, the consumption of gunpowder and lead bullets is an extremely amazing number.
On the one hand, recruit good children to join the army, train strictly, and strengthen the ability of close combat through battle formations. On the battlefield, the brave are not allowed to advance rashly, and the timid are not allowed to retreat without any retreat. Tens of millions of people are like one person, advancing and retreating together, and cooperate properly to form the greatest combat power. If ordinary men are not in the realm of heaven and man or the realm of immortality, they often do not have much significance.
The battle formation was also not original by Qin Qing, but created by a young security guard of this dynasty. In addition to the eleven people forming a small formation, the large formation was a triad formation, which was also a three-layered layer. The principle was similar to the three-layered musket fighting method. The first layer fought hard, beat the drum, slowed down, and beat the drum again. The second layer rushed over the front layer to fight, and the front layer had less teams. The drum was slowed down, beat the drum again, and beat the drum again, and the first layer rushed over the second layer to fight before fighting, and the original second layer had less teams. Such a wave of succession allowed the front-line soldiers to maintain their physical strength at all times. After all, close combat is not as good as gun soldiers, which consumes a lot of physical strength. In fact, the principles in the world are average. Dan Taiyun punched, like a wave of three stacks, one wave after another, defeating the master of the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions. At this time, the Liaodong army was also like a triple stack. At the beginning, it was very resilient and full of momentum. It gradually pushed the Jinguan soldiers out of the chariot camp.
Qin Qing brought 40,000 troops this time, half of which were auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers were different from the combat soldiers and did not fight directly. They were mainly responsible for various miscellaneous tasks, such as digging trenches, building fortifications, cleaning the battlefield, transporting baggage, treating wounded, burying corpses, setting up camps, and even helping heavy cavalry wear armor, mount horses, etc. At this time, the chariot camp was also built by auxiliary soldiers. This is also the reason why hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant. In addition to the morale of defeating the mountains, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops were auxiliary soldiers with little combat power. If the war soldiers collapsed head-on, the auxiliary soldiers would naturally collapse, which was also because the Central Plains army could not come and go like the grassland army.
At this time, the soldiers of the Golden Site began to retreat, and the auxiliary soldiers rushed out, but instead of repairing the chariots, they pushed away the chariots that looked like walls, moved some of the horses away, and enlarged the holes that had previously been forced to break through the Golden Site into a portal of hundreds of feet wide, leaving a passage for the army to attack.
At the same time, the continuous sound of drumbeats came from the central military position.
Hearing the drums.
In addition to the infantry forming battle formations and the gunmen who replaced the archers, there were also cavalry in Liaodong, lying ambushed on the left and right wings of the chariot camp. However, when the cavalry of the Golden Tent revived just now, they never made any moves, and they did not show their strength until this time.
The Liaodong cavalry has a tight formation, and the gap between each cavalry is very small. It is equipped with a rifle sabre. The sabre is a thick-backed heavy sword. Only such a knife can cut through the opponent's heavy armor. If it is a light sabre, even if it is charged, it will be difficult to cause serious injuries. In addition, it is a three-eyed gun, which is a sharp weapon for melee combat. You can shoot the enemy at close range. If there is no ammunition, you can also use it as a bone and a hammer. The effect of blunt weapon against armor is even more powerful.
To be fair, because of the horse breed, Jin Teng is good at fighting with light cavalry, but he does not have much advantage in cavalry hedging. Instead, the Liaodong cavalry introduced the improved horse breeds from the Western Regions, which are not weaker than the Jin Teng cavalry.
Amid the rapid sound of war drums and the sound of horse hooves, the Liaodong cavalry, who had been preparing for a long time, finally appeared on the battlefield.
The Great Wei started in the south, and expelled the golden tent in the north. The fire in the south was Bingding and Ding, which was the virtue of fire, so it advocated red. Not only did the first-rank and second-rank official in the temple wear red robes, but even the battle jackets of ordinary soldiers were red.
Liaodong is located in the north, and Youzhou means the state of the dark side. The north is Renkui Water, which is the virtue of water, so it advocates the black color, with black being the main one above and below. The army of gold tents calls Liaodong Yebucheng as a man in black.
At this time, the cavalry were all black armored and black horses, like two black dragons.
Although Qin Qing attached great importance to firearms, he did not underestimate the cavalry, especially the cavalry often shouldered the responsibility of rushing into the formation, and armor was the top priority.
The armor of the Great Wei official army has not been replaced for many years, or cut corners. It looks bright and has a rust and rotten iron. Its air falls into a sieve, and cannot stop arrows or axes. This is the same as the firearms of the official army. It is reasonable to have such firearms and armors that are defeated by the golden tent cavalry in the field.
In contrast, the iron armor of the Liaodong cavalry is all new armor in recent years. The armor leaves are solid and fine. Arrows slightly farther away may even be bounced away directly. Even the cavalry bows and arrows are just inserted into the armor. They look scary and do not affect combat. Only the cavalry's cavalry charge and the huge powerful bows used by infantry can cause effective damage.
After the Liaodong cavalry entered the battlefield, the Golden Sect began to retreat in an all-round way. Although the Golden Sect is no longer as brave as it was when it was invincible in the world, due to the harsh grassland environment, individual quality should not be underestimated. The reason for the complete defeat is that it is tactical and tactical, and the other is that the gap between the two sides is so large that it has reached a level that it is difficult for manpower to make up for. Not to mention the difference in technology, the money spent is also in the sky and the earth.
To put it bluntly, whether it is the Liaodong Iron Cavalry or the East China Sea fleet, they are all made of real money and silver. Only with money can you use firearms at any cost. This is also in line with Xu Wugui's concept. To put it bluntly, it is a problem. Where the money comes from and where it goes. After solving this problem, more than 80% of the problem was solved. This is also the biggest problem of the Wei court. Money comes from, and even more so, it goes.
Qin Qing also left the car camp and looked at the Camel City in the golden tent.
The head coach of the Golden Tent is a real-powerful man. Even if he has a place in the royal court, he is a corps. He has been in the army for a long time and has long heard of guns and cannons in Liaodong. Over the years, he has used some means to get three cannons from the Jinzhou garrison. Although it is only ten kilograms of shells, it is not as good as the artillery of the Qingweizong warships using 60 kilograms of shells, but it is enough to deal with flesh and blood.
At this time, he didn't care much and immediately sent someone to push the cannons up.
Of course, the three cannons could not turn the situation around, but he saw the opponent's chief general, because while Qin Qing walked, both infantry and cavalry, he was particularly eye-catching.
The golden tent looked at the figure visible from afar and whispered: "Fire fire there and kill him!"
Three cannons fired at the same time. I have to say that the Jinguan people were lucky, and a shell went straight towards Qin Qing.
Although it is a solid bullet, its power is extremely terrifying. As long as you touch it, no matter whether you wear armor or not, even if you have cultivation, it will be either dead or dead. However, when this shell is still three meters away from Qin Qing, it suddenly stagnated. Looking closely, the shell is still rotating rapidly and advancing at an extremely slow speed, but it is also constantly disintegrating and turning into powder. In a blink of an eye, the shell completely disappeared. From beginning to end, Qin Qing did not even take a look, let alone put forward a hand block.
This is just Qin Qing's protective energy that stimulates itself, which also makes Qin Qing's armor a little embarrassed. No matter how exquisite and solid, it cannot escape the end of being a decoration. A person who can break through three feet in front of Qin Qing must not be able to resist it.
Qin Qing didn't care about this shell, but it didn't mean he didn't notice it. So Qin Qing stepped out, crossed the space, came directly to Na Yan, waved his hand and cut off his head, and then chopped down the handsome flag.
As soon as the commander's flag fell, the soldiers in the golden tent immediately lost their morale and even fell into chaos. They had retreated before, but now they have become defeated.
When Liaodong saw the golden tent falling, the sound of the mountain shouting sounded: "Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
The army admires the bravest people the most. If it comes to bravery, who can compare with his lord?
