Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 325

boom!
A shell blasted into the tent with the white flag, and Duoduo, who was sleeping on the bed, sat up suddenly: "What's wrong?"

Duo Duo yelled loudly, Dorgon took the heavy armored soldiers with the white flag, and the chariot soldiers with the red flag of the Han army to attack Guihua City, and let him stay in the tent, which made Duo Duo very dissatisfied, but He couldn't disobey Dorgon's order, so when he came back, he handed over everything to the deputy governor, Long Kuotai, and asked him to handle military affairs, while Duo Duo ran to the camp and lay down sullenly. Lying down, I fell asleep.

He was awakened by the sound of cannons just now. In fact, the sound of cannons was nothing. The sound of cannons on the front line was so dense that it did not delay his sleep. What made him feel wrong was that the cannons just now seemed to have exploded in his camp.

At this moment, Duoduo stood up with a bang, and ran to the entrance of the camp quickly, saying: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

No one answered for a long time, Duoduo opened the curtain of the camp tent, and the next moment, there was a bang ten meters in front of him, and a shell fell fiercely, and the aftermath of the explosion blew away two soldiers with white flags.

huh~
At the same time, a piece of iron swished across Dodo's cheek, and Dodo felt a pain in his cheek, and blood came down.

In an instant, Duoduo woke up and shouted towards the barracks: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

Speaking of which, Duoduo rushed into the house, grabbed his saber, and rushed out. At this time, the tent area was in chaos. The cannon exploded and ignited the tent.

Dodo turned pale with fright, but as a general who has fought for many years, Dodo still made the best solution. First, he gathered the soldiers with white flags running around, and then led everyone out of the camp.

After running out to take a look, Duo Duo realized that it was not only his own place, but also Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner that was greeted most by the artillery fire. At this time, a large number of people ran out there.

At this moment, Duoduo grabbed the reins and shouted: "Gather the Zhengbai Banner and defeat the soldiers, don't let them run around, hurry up, hurry up."

Doduo shouted, and immediately someone went to help gather the rout soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner, followed by the people, and Doduo led everyone to ride on horseback and abandon the camp, because the target there was too big, and the artillery focused on that side.

At this moment, Dorgon shook off the soldiers supporting him, looked at the camp that was bombarded by cannons, and shouted angrily: "Lantian soldiers, where did the Lantian soldiers come from here?"

Listening to Dorgon's roar, no one answered Dorgon, because they didn't know why there was a Lantian army here, taking advantage of their siege, to attack their base camp from behind.

This is really too much.

Now Dorgon was a little dizzy from being beaten, but at this moment, suddenly in the southeast direction, boom, boom, boom!

At this time, the sound of cannons also sounded.

However, the sound of the cannons here is obviously not at the same level as that of the Lantian Army, and it seems a little sparse.

and also!

At this moment, Dorgon turned his head suddenly, and the next moment he saw a group of soldiers and horses appearing in the southeast corner, but this group of soldiers and horses were not Lantian soldiers and horses, but the Ming army. Seeing this group of people, Dorgon was relieved. tone.

At this time, Dorgon's deputy general said: "It's the Tianxiong Army, Lu Xiangsheng's troops."

Lu Xiangsheng was a Ming general that Dorgon was quite afraid of before, but now that he heard this name, Dorgon unconsciously let go of his heart, it's not the Lantian Army, it's fine if it's not the Lantian Army.

Thinking of this, Dorgon shouted: "Assemble the army, break out, and break out from Lu Xiangsheng."

Dorgon shouted, followed by Jiala Ezhen, the commanders began to gather the dispersed army, and Kong Youde also led the soldiers to break through to Lu Xiangsheng's side.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had set up his camp and was ready to fight, but his face was obviously shocked. Lu Xiangsheng's shock did not come from other sources. His shock was mainly because of the scene where the Lantian army defended the city just now, especially the scene where six thousand grenades flew into the air. In one scene, not to mention Dorgon who was beaten at that time, even Lu Xiangsheng gasped. That kind of weapon is almost invincible in melee combat. If it is equipped with tens of thousands of rounds, no matter how strong the enemy is, it will not be able to withstand it.

The Lantian army still has such a terrible weapon. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Lu Xianglin, and the meaning was obvious. Why didn't you tell me that there is such a weapon when you went there last time?

Lu Xianglin smiled wryly at this moment: "Brother, don't look at me like that, I didn't know they had such terrifying weapons."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything, but a trace of worry appeared on his face, it's not a blessing of Ming Dynasty that Lantian's army is so strong.

The Tartars are worthy of being the elite. The combat power of the Tartars in this period far exceeds the strength of the Green Battalion soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time. Even in the face of such powerful firearms, under the bombardment of cannons, they quickly organized their camp.

At this time, Duoduo immediately mounted his horse with his saber, and riding on the horse, brandished his saber to confirm a direction and said: "Break out, follow me."

At this time, Duoduo showed his identity as a strong general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, brandishing a saber, and charged towards Lu Xiangsheng. The advantage of the Manchu Qing cavalry lies in their movement. As long as they are allowed to exercise, it is not so easy to hit them.

At this time, the Manchu and Qing cavalry took out their bows and arrows, and those behind them took out their firecrackers, and charged in the direction of Lu Xiangsheng's troops. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng lined up an army to fight against them.

Compared with the Lantian Army, Lu Xiangsheng's firepower is very different. Although the firearms killed a large number of enemies, but after you finish a round, the Tartars have already rushed to the front. At this time, the power of the firearms is gone. The mainstream fighting method of this era, hand-to-hand combat.

Lu Xiangsheng is not a weak scholar, but a warrior with considerable force. At this time, he drew out his sword and slashed and killed the enemy himself. Lu Xianglin was not a soft persimmon. It has become the most primitive hand-to-hand battlefield.

There was a fight here, and Dorgon was clearly moving towards this side, Li Chaohu waved his hands when he saw this, and said, "Come on, brothers."

Hearing this, Li Chaohu's troops charged with troops and horses. Li Chaohu's troops were still headed by musketeers. At this time, they fired at the Tartars, and the artillery pressed the formation.

At this time on the city wall, Li Chaosheng saw this scene and said: "Guzi, go and inform Li Chaohu, the poor should not chase after him, and if Lu Xiangsheng's siege is solved, don't chase after him."

"Yes."

Gu Zi immediately went to inform Li Chaohu, after hearing Li Chaosheng's words, Shi Dalei beside him said: "Commander, the Tartars are nothing more than that, why don't you take the opportunity to destroy them?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Dalei and said, "Don't think that after winning a battle, you will be lost, Dalei, if the fight continues like this, we will suffer heavy casualties."

Shi Dalei was puzzled when he heard this, Li Chaosheng said: "We are an all-arms camp, logistics support is the most important thing, and mobility is not strong, we can say that we are impenetrable in defending the city, if the Tartars want to attack the city, they will die miserably , but once the battlefield is placed on the grassland, the Tartars have horses, and the mobility is not comparable to ours. Moreover, the grassland is vast and must be defended in all directions, and we cannot be allowed to dig trenches in advance to resist horses, and the Tartars will fight for losses. He can kill us with cavalry, and he will be the one to kill us at that time."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei blinked and nodded in agreement. Guihua City and the others were able to achieve such a big victory and pay such a small price, basically relying on preparation in advance, don't underestimate the trench, a trench can block as many arrows as the enemy arrow.

Don't underestimate the refusal of horses, if there is no refusal of horses, the Tartar cavalry can rush into the camp on the first day, at most it will pay a little more price, but if the Tartars rush into the camp, the Lantian army will be very angry. Passive, casualties will be very large.

In addition, according to Li Chaosheng, the Lantian army is actually developing towards young soldiers. No matter how strong the enemy is, we will start with a period of artillery bombardment, medium-range musket shooting, and close-range throwing grenades.

It can be said that they arranged this way tightly. If they can rush in from the encirclement of Lantian, the enemy will basically die, but one day these advantages will disappear. If they can't give it, what should they do?
At this moment, he somewhat understood why Li Chaosheng was reluctant to disband the shield fighters and wolf fighters in the army.

The Lantian army developed from a group of villagers in Tanggou Town, and later incorporated the bandits at the Six Dayukou in Lantian. At that time, muskets were still rare, and cannons were acquired in Lantian when they wiped out the flying eagles. The army is like a baby Gada. Although the lethality of the cannon is very average, it represents deterrence.

At that time, the battles of the Lantian Army still relied on mandarin duck formations. At that time, the battles were really real and life-threatening. At that time, there was a compound bow, and everyone was overjoyed, but now?
With the gradual expansion of the Lantian army, more and more children from ordinary farmers in Lantian County joined the army. Although they were selected by the militia and received strong training in the militia, they were selected into the army. He spends most of his time training with firearms and has stopped playing with knives.

Now that I think about it, these soldiers are less bloody than the soldiers from Tanggou Town who were from bandits. They look like young soldiers. If they don’t have muskets and artillery support, can they fight against the enemy and win? ?
Will it collapse in one battle?

And the most frightening thing is that my own commanders didn't expect this. For a while, they strongly demanded that all remaining shield soldiers and wolf fighters in the army be replaced by musketeers and become an all-firearms camp. For a while there was a lot of appeal.

But in the end, it was fortunate that Li Chaosheng suppressed it, and the reason why Li Chaosheng suppressed it was that many officers did not understand this sentence, but it doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as Li Chaosheng said it, they would understand it. Strictly abide by, so those shields and wolf hands are retained.

Thinking about it now, the army commander probably already saw the shortcomings of the army at that time, so he disagreed with the idea of ​​himself and others.

Thinking about it, Shi Dalei couldn't help feeling that Li Chaosheng's wisdom was beyond their reach.

Shi Dalei watched Li Chaosheng think for a while and wanted to express his worries, he felt that there was nothing he could not say between himself and the commander, Li Chaosheng was taken aback when he heard Shi Dalei's words.

Seeing Shi Dalei's worried look, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, but there is no need to worry too much. At present, our strategy is still steady and steady. Defense is greater than offense. Our army can definitely complete the task brilliantly."

"Although what you said is also a problem, our muskets are so developed and our artillery is so powerful. At this time, we can't give up our advantages, and because we are worried about raising young soldiers, we will train soldiers to play with big knives and fight against the enemy. If so, what are we doing so desperately to develop technology?"

Shi Dalei was stunned, and Li Chaosheng said: "Society is developing, and Lantian County is also making continuous progress. Playing with muskets is definitely more elegant and less bloody than playing with big blades, but it does not represent the will of our soldiers. There is a problem with strength, and it is a traditional virtue to bear hardships and stand hard work, but our current conditions no longer allow us to endure hardships and stand hard work. We have the conditions to eat sliver meat and white flour buns, so we can’t force soldiers to eat wheat chaff, grass roots and bark.”

"This is regression, not progress. What we want in Lantian is progress and development. If we can eat white flour buns, we will eat white flour buns. The wheat bran, grass roots and bark should be fed to pigs. Don't be afraid of famine in the future. If you can’t eat, you will not eat white flour buns, and you will exercise and eat wheat bran, for the sake of unwarranted famine in the future, because when there is a real famine in the future, maybe our technology is enough to change everything, and we don’t have to go hungry. You, this is called unfounded worry."

Li Chaosheng said to Shi Dalei with a smile, Shi Dalei was thoughtful after hearing this.

In fact, Shi Dalei's current soldiers are not as hard-working as the previous soldiers, and Li Chaosheng understands that the current soldiers cannot be worthy of great responsibilities in difficult situations.

Just like in modern society, when the generation born in the [-]s was young, the generation born in the [-]s worried that the generation born in the [-]s would not be able to take the lead in China's future.

At this time, the post-[-]s and post-[-]s felt worried, and even once said that this is the beat generation. What happened?
The post-[-]s generation has grown up now, and they have begun to take the lead. The country is developing very well, but the post-[-]s generation is now worried about the post-[-]s generation, and Li Chaosheng believes that the post-[-]s generation is not the Beat Generation. When they need to take on the task of revitalizing the country, they will also successfully take over the baton from their predecessors and complete their historical tasks.

Li Chaosheng talked with Shi Dalei. At this time, the battle between Lu Xiangsheng and the tartar Duoduo was still in full swing. Li Chaohu's army was also going to help, and Dorgon also gathered the remnants of the soldiers to surround him. meat machine.

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Okay, don't just watch, tell the Luoheita Brigade, Li Debao Brigade, to attack from all fronts to meet Li Chaohu's troops."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei immediately saluted: "Yes."
