Chapter 26 Destroyed
f The development of the army is a process from simple to complex. At the beginning, the army was the army, and it was all the same, and it flocked to the war.
Later, there were chariot soldiers and infantry. Later, there were established cavalry and special archers. Carriage soldiers were gradually replaced by cavalry, and cavalry evolved into heavy cavalry and light cavalry. The archer troops were divided into archers and crossbowmen. Infantry was also divided into swordsmen, sprites, etc., which were also divided into light and heavy.
The specific tactics on the battlefield have become more and more complex. Infantry and cavalry coordination, incisor and bow coordination, bow and cavalry coordination, etc. Under the same conditions, a single military system does not have an absolute advantage.
There are only five types of troops under Ying Yi's command now, artillery, spearmen, guns, cavalry and night-time. At that time, they were the only one, and they expanded their ministerial-level troops. Under them, they established a battalion. In the department-level system, a complete system was formed.
A total of 3,000 people and five military groups have been formed to improve the system.
The department-level system has different numbers of people among the five armies. The number of gunmen is the largest, followed by gunmen, and the cavalry is the third, and the number of artillery is the lowest.
There were 3,000 people, one-third of the gunmen, which was one-third of them. There were 750 gunmen, and more than half of them were visited here. There were 500 cavalrymen, but no four hundred were collected at night, and 35 artillerymen.
More than 10,000 cavalry of the Tartars rushed forward, facing the three rounds of artillery attacks with more than one thousand tiger squatting cannons, their morale was at least half destroyed.
Their tactical experience is still at the time of fighting with the Ming army. When fighting with the Ming army, both sides set up their formations, or first use coats to consume Ming arms, and then use elite cavalry to rush forward. In field battles, they often collapse.
However, this time Abatai was trying to break through, so Baoyi didn't consider it. He directly rushed to the formation with the elite cavalry, fantasizing that Ying Yi's army's firepower was the same as that of the Ming army, so he suffered a great loss.
Nearly four or five thousand spirits were lost, and morale fell sharply. However, both Abatai and the remaining Tartar soldiers believed that as long as they crossed this distance, everything would be fine. But then the gunmen made them terrified again.
Compared with cannons, gunmen are more lethal.
More than 5,000 gun soldiers lined up to shoot in three consecutive times. After the Tartars entered two hundred steps, the muskets almost stopped. When the Tartars rushed to the front, almost half of them fell on the way to charge.
When the battle was fought, the Tartars were left with a bustling crowd of five thousand people.
What made Abatai even more desperate happened - the Manchurian and Meng spirit cavalry, who was invincible and invincible, was bleeding from his head in front of the fully armed spearmen!
You may not even be able to see the gap that tear apart!
Whether it is a mace or a chain hammer, if a person uses horsepower, he will hit the gunman with one hammer, at most two steps back and only makes a subtle white mark on the iron can-like armor, that's all!
Their usual sturdy armor, whether it is single-layer, double-layer, or even three-layer armor, is like paper and vulnerable when facing the sharp spears of the spearmen!
Just like before, they fell under the gun gunman's gun, their armor was no longer worthy of reliance!
By the time Zheng Wu ordered the two-wing cavalry to attack, the Tartars were on the verge of collapse.
...
The battle between Zheng Wu was launched, and Zhu Bingkun was not showing any weakness. Especially when Abatara left all the elite cavalry and the ones who were left behind were Baoyi, facing Zhu Bingkun's offensive, the Baoyi had no power to fight back.
The so-called Baoyi is the slaves and slaves of the Tartars. Among them, the Koreans and the abducted Han people each account for half.
Their main responsibility, in addition to being cannon fodder for the Manchu and Mongolian Tartar soldiers, was to serve as auxiliary soldiers and transport military supplies to the Tartars.
Their combat power can be imagined.
When Abatai led the elite cavalry to attack, 20,000 Baoyi was about to break through, but was intercepted by Zhu Bingkun.
The tactics of the battle often do not have much tricks to take. They are nothing more than shelling first, then gunning, and finally hand-to-hand combat.
There is no mercy on the battlefield. Whether it is the Koreans or the Hans, there is only one word before surrendering, killing.
Zhu Bingkun's troops attacked several rounds of artillery and directly defeated the 20,000 coats. Then the cavalry, spearmen and gunmen attacked directly and chased them all over the mountains.
At this time, Ying Yi had already gone to Qingshankou Pass City. The three thousand elite cavalry left by Abatai were useless in front of Ying Yi.
The sword light was radiant and the air burst, and the lotus-like waves bloomed. Every time they bloomed, dozens or hundreds of people died under Ying Yi's sword.
These three thousand Tartar cavalry were smart and actually counterattacked Qingshankou, clearly trying to break Qingshankou and escape from it. But before they could break Qingshankou, they all fell under the gate.
After destroying these three thousand people, Ying Yi did nothing and turned back to Qingshan Pass.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance.
The Tartars were defeated.
At about this time, Wang Yisheng's troops, who were blocking Xifengkou, arrived quickly.
On the battlefield about five or six miles across, the defeated Tartars were besieged. The front lines in the south and west became tighter and tighter. One by one, the Tartars fell under the guns of the soldiers and finally gathered at Qingshankou Pass City.
"Master!"
The four major captains came to Ying Yi with a covered in flames.
Ying Yi stood with a knife, and his magnificent body looked like Mount Tai.
"You have reported to your lord, this battle has been completed, please make an announcement!"
Zhu Bingkun beat his chest and held his fists, and yelled loudly.
Ying Yi nodded slightly: "What is the result of the battle? Have you ever figured it out?"
Zhu Bingkun said: "The last general and the seven troops under the command of the magistrate of Zheng Jiu beheaded 17,000 ranks and captured 3,000 people. The soldiers, armor and supplies were not included."
Zheng Wudao: "The last general and the seven troops under the command of the Captain Qian Yue beheaded 14,800 ranks, captured one person, and the soldiers and armor were not included."
Ying Yi nodded slightly: "I have achieved my best."
Then he said: "Can the soldiers be damaged?"
Zhu Bingkun said: "Thirty-three people were injured and twenty-nine were injured and four were killed."
Zheng Jiudao: "Thirty-one casualties were injured and twenty-seven injured, and four were killed in battle."
Zheng Wudao: "The chief lieutenant was injured and killed 477 people, 421 people were injured, and 56 people were killed."
Qian Yue said: "The chief lieutenant was injured and killed 501 people, 472 people were injured, and twenty-nine people were killed."
Ying Yi heard this and said, "After all, there are still casualties."
However, it is within Ying Yi's allowable range - the total number of casualties is less than 1,000, and less than 100 people were killed directly. If people know that this is the damage caused in the battle to annihilate nearly 40,000 Eastern Barbarians, it may be shocking.
Whether it is the level of weapons, armor and other armaments, or the average physical strength of soldiers, the soldiers under Ying Yi have reached a very powerful level. It was not beyond Ying Yi's expectations that he could achieve such a battle.
The cannons and muskets are powerful, while the long spear and short sword are exposed, and the whole body is armed to the teeth, and they are strong and tough. No matter how fierce the Tartars are, they are still flesh and blood, so where can they be invincible?
Zheng Wu and Qian Yue's troops suffered hundreds of casualties, which was due to the head-on collision with nearly 15,000 elite cavalry of Abatai. The casualties of Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Jiu were mostly injured by chance when they were expelled and killed the scattered Baoyi.
