please make me king

Chapter 1439

"Li Shuai has an order, and Jiang Xiang's troops must stick to their positions and make no mistakes!" As the messenger watched the messenger flag carefully, he couldn't help but quickly relayed.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiang looked at Yang Chengzu's troops who were fighting fiercely with the Houjin cavalry on the right, and then at the Houjin cavalry who had just turned in from the left, and frowned.

He deliberately refused this order, but considering that his younger brother Jiang Xuan was also entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Shun, he couldn't help hesitating.

"Okay, reply to Li Shuai: Jiang Xiang will not die, and the right wing will not be lost!" In the end, he still gritted his teeth and accepted the order.

Jiang Xiang, who was born as a general, actually doesn't have much integrity, only benefits.

However, for such a small benefit, not many people can satisfy him, except "King Shun".

You can work hard, but you have to show "sincerity".

Compared with Da Ming and Hou Jin, with Li Zicheng, Ye Tinggui and Zhang Weishi Zhuyu in front, it is obvious that Zhang Shun's "sincerity" is stronger, and it is more worthy of his life for it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiang couldn't help but sneered and said: "All the officers and men listen to my orders, line up to defend against the enemy, and let the Tartars taste the power of my Datong town's chariot maneuvers!"

It turns out that this "Datong Town Soldiers and Chariots Maneuvering Method" came from "Yu Hu" Yu Daqiu, one of the Qi Long Yu Hu in the Jiajing period.

Its method is inherited from Zeng Mi's method of car camping, and Qi Jiguang's method of partial vans, which is quite distinctive.

The specific preparation is: first set up a one-wheeled chariot with a wheel diameter of four feet and six inches and a length of one foot and two.

There are four big guns on the front of the car, one big Flanger door, two shields, one small moon flag, and one pair of cloth curtains.

There are two brackets in front of the car, and two iron cones in the back of the car. When the car is put down, the front can be used as a frame, and the back can be nailed into the soil, just like a ship's anchor.

Then there is a standing tree, which is held by the team officer, just like the rudder of a ship.

The total weight of the whole car is less than [-] catties, and sixteen people can be divided into two shifts to carry it out in turn.

When you move, you form an array, when you stop, you form a battalion.

There are [-] people in each cart, including [-] soldiers, [-] cavalry, [-] carts, and [-] people in charge of logistics and pack horses.

As for the sixteen soldiers, there are two bannermen, four card players, two tiger forks, two hooks and sickles, and four knife-handlers each holding a sharp gun and a bird blunderbuss.

There are [-] people pushing the cart, including four bird gunners, four sharpshooters, four people who are in charge of the frangipulator and carry the guns, and four people who handle the knife.

These sixteen people only care about pushing carts and guarding carts, regardless of charging and falling into battle.

In addition, there are two management teams, one for the team is holding the green flag on the car, supervising the assault troops to break through the formation; the other is the team deputy who is responsible for steering the car behind the car, supervising the guards guarding the car.

According to Yu Daqiu's compilation, the thirteenth team was originally set up as a small battalion, and the [-]th small battalion was set up as a big battalion, with a total of [-] people.

So where does Jiang Xiang have the ability to organize so many troops?
Originally there were only four small battalions under his command, with fifty-two chariots. Later, after joining the rebel army, Zhang Shun ordered him to complete the establishment, so he transferred another [-] people to serve as the central army alone, without chariots. .

Following his order, the four small battalions immediately surrounded his central army, forming an impenetrable circular formation.

Not to mention Jiang Xiang's plan, let's say that the Jin right-wing cavalry crossed the entire battlefield from behind the formation, and finally came to the right wing of the rebel army, and what greeted our eyes was such a hedgehog-like army formation.

"What formation is this?" Zasak King Lama Jinzhou led the right-wing troops to the front of the formation and asked involuntarily.

"Report to the lord, this is Yu Daqiu's military chariot maneuvering method!" Unexpectedly, Xianghuang Banner and Eight Banners Mongolian Gushan Ezhenda came to respond.

It turned out that this Lama Jinzhou was originally a nobleman of the Chahar tribe. Later, after Hudun Tuhan died of illness in Dacaotan, he led his people back to Hongtai, and was named King Zasak, under the banner of Xianghuang Banner.

At that time, after Hong Tai conquered Hudun Tuhan, the captives surrendered a large number of Mongolian young men, who belonged to the Eight Banners.

Na Hongtai was worried that the Eighth National Congress and Shuobeile would become powerful and threaten his imperial power, so he ordered to set up a banner under each Manchurian banner, which is called the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Although the Eight Banners Mongolia is still attached to the Eight Great Baylor of each banner and recognizes it as the master, but because it does not set up Gushan Ezhen and accepts Hong Tai's dispatch to fight, it is tantamount to weakening the power of the Eight Great and Shuobeile Baylor in disguise.

This Zhasak king Lama Jinzhou is under the banner of the Xianghuang Banner. Although he is a prince, he is still his slave of Mrs. Hong.

Although this servant doesn't know this formation, there are naturally some of the Mongols who have suffered a lot.

I only heard Gushan Ezhenda of the Xianghuang Banner explain: "This formation uses chariots as the city, artillery as the bow and arrows, soldiers as sharp blades, and cavalry as vultures. It is the most difficult to break."

Unexpectedly, Da Lai only spoke halfway, and Nazasak King Lama Jinzhou interrupted: "It's useless to talk too much, let's see the truth on the battlefield!"

This formation may or may not be difficult to break, and it makes no difference to Lama Jinzhou.

Because he is now King Zasak with a yellow flag, a high-ranking servant.

If he can't carry out the banner master Hong Tai's will, then his fate will not be much better than other low-level slaves.

Following Lama Jinzhou's order, the Eight Banners Mongolia under his command immediately swarmed up, surrounded Jiang Xiang's men and horses, and then galloped like a revolving lantern while tentatively shooting inside.

"Tartar?" Jiang Xiang couldn't help cheering up when he saw the opponent's fighting style, and immediately understood it.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was customary to refer to the Mongols as "Tarts" and the Jurchens as "Ku".

Although it has always been said that Tartars and captives are called together, the Tartars and captives are different after all.

The former is the existence that the generals of the Ming army like to use most to make military exploits, while the latter is the existence that is often used by others.

In the past, when the generals of the Ming army met, if one of them did not have dozens or hundreds of "tartar" heads, everyone would be ashamed to say hello to them.

Of course, if anyone has not been brushed with dozens or hundreds of heads by the "Jianlu", that is the real cowhide.

"General, the Tartars are coming!" Seeing that the Eight Banners Mongolia started shooting arrows at him and others, someone had already reminded Jiang Xiang.

"Understood, and order the gunner to fight back at the enemy cavalry!" Jiang Xiang nodded and ordered calmly.

The biggest "hands-on mace" of the Ming army's car battalion is the dense firecrackers and artillery.

If these firearms were tricked into firing ahead of time, the opponent would seize the gap between the reloading of the firearms and rush in.

If the opponent is deceived by himself and fires the guns and cannons, the opponent will suffer heavy casualties.

The truth is this, the key is who is more patient, who is more manipulative, and who is more resourceful!

"Bang, bang, bang!" As the rebel gunners fought back, more and more Eight Banner Mongolians fell off their horses.

The Mongolian warriors are good at riding and shooting, but the effective range of bows and arrows is only more than [-] steps.
Not to mention, a well-trained bird gunner can almost take eighty steps, and can basically do three in one.

As for twenty steps, not to mention a hundred hits, at least a [-]% hit rate.

Under such a sharp and precise counterattack by the musketeers, the Eight Banners Mongolia obviously couldn't hold on.

"My lord, the 'thief' firecracker is so sharp!" The Mongolian Gushan Ezhendalai with the red flag couldn't help but reminded Lama Jinzhou, "It's not the way to go on like this!"

"Understood!" Nazasak King Rama Jinzhou nodded expressionlessly, and couldn't help but order, "Let the sons come back for a while, and don't send a team of cavalry to cheat the cannon."

"If he fires all his firearms, we will take the opportunity to rush forward. If he refuses, let the cavalry approach me for hand-to-hand combat!"
