Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 152 Anti-tank Rejection

"Yes, my lord."

Snapped!
Niu Dali stood at attention and gave Zhao Cheng a military salute.

Then, he turned and left in a hurry.

Zhao Cheng began to set up positions.

The strong land army has a total of four regular army units, plus three reserve units.

In addition, there are more than 600 Huaian troops.

Zhao Cheng didn't dare to let the Huai'an army take the lead.

In case they are vulnerable and collapse at the first touch, the defeated army is likely to overwhelm the strong army.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhao Cheng's positioning for the Huai'an Army was very precise, and he could only "add the icing on the cake" to fight a smooth battle.

If the strong land army wins, the more than 600 Huai'an army will definitely increase their courage and play a big role.

This time, Niu Dali took away two regular army units.

In other words, Zhao Cheng's strong land army has a total of five units with 500 people.

Their weapons are rifles and Napoleon cannons.

The enemy they faced was the Jurchen Blue Banner, the strongest army in the East in this era.

The Zhenglan Banner Tartars at this time were not comparable to the Manchu army that had been corrupted for generations in the late Qing Dynasty.

At this time, they were at their peak. Not only were they powerful in combat, but they also won consecutive victories against the surrounding enemies, giving them a strong sense of honor.

When faced with a strong attack, their first reaction would never be to be defeated like the bandit Luo Sanpao, or the thief lighting the lamp.

They are likely to be enraged, and then rush wildly.

If it is an infantry soldier, Zhao Cheng is not afraid of anything.

In case the opposing cavalry charges...

Five hundred riflemen going to fight fifteen hundred cavalry are likely to be broken through and massacred.

Zhao Cheng had to make perfect arrangements.

Before he rode his horse to the position alone, he selected the anti-tank refusal horse in the system mall and started to exchange.

Redeem one, extract it, put it on the ground.

Change another place, exchange another one, extract it again, and put it on the ground...

After a while, the open space in front of the position was generally covered with anti-tank repelling horses.

This is Zhao Cheng's confidence to fight more with less and block the Zhenglan Banner tartars head-on.

Anti-Tank Rejection Horse, also known as "Czech Hedgehog", is an anti-tank facility that hinders the advancement of armored vehicles.

During World War II, Germany deployed a large number of it on the beaches of Normandy as a facility to defend the Allied forces from landing.

Even in the war between Xiong Da and Xiong Er in 2021, Xiong Er also pulled a large number of anti-tank refusal horses from the warehouse.

This thing is 1.5 meters high and is welded by three L-shaped metal sheets, standing firmly on the ground.

Even if a tank charges, it cannot crush them.

Now it is used to stop the cavalry from charging, it is simply an artifact.

The Qiangdi army watched Zhao Cheng conjure up so many big iron guys like magic, and all of them were so shocked that their eyes widened.

However, they have long been accustomed to Master Zhao's various miracles.

There have always been rumors in the market that Mr. Zhao is the reincarnation of a god, and he came to save the suffering.

Some people even said that Mr. Zhao not only received the inheritance from Zhuge Wuhou and the Mohists, but also knew the art of immortality.

Therefore, Zhao Cheng conjured up so many anti-tank refusals with his bare hands, and everyone was shocked, but only more excited.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and immediately, the shouts shook the sky.

Zhao Cheng densely packed anti-tank horses around the position, protecting them like a protective forest.

Facing the direction of Zhenglan Qi, the anti-tank repelled the most horses and the largest area.

If the Tartars choose to charge with cavalry, they will be unable to move an inch when they get close, and will only become targets for the strong army.

Zhao Cheng made arrangements here, and soon, he saw the dust steaming in the distance, first a sentry came from afar.

Zhao Cheng immediately sent a sentry to investigate.

After some confrontation, the long guns in the Qiangdi army sentry probes shot farther, and the horses were faster. After approaching, there were revolvers that could fire in rapid succession.

It simply took advantage.

The tartar sentry dropped two corpses and ran away in fright.

……

"waste!"

Zuo Nuomu watched his sentry lose one after another, his face was livid with anger.

Once upon a time, the sentries of the Jurchen could not beat Minggou's Yebuyan?
This is not a joke!
Fortunately, the sentry also brought back some information.

They saw from a distance that the Ming Dog army was gathering in front, with only 1000 people.

This news made Zuo Nuomu heave a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the old dog Shen Chen didn't lie to us! He doesn't have the courage to let him go! As expected, there are only more than a thousand Ming soldiers who have passed through the customs."

There are 500 people under him.

In the past, there was absolutely no reason why the five hundred Jurchen warriors could not defeat more than a thousand Ming dogs.

Therefore, Zonuomu didn't think too much, and directly gave an order, and the whole army pressed up.

When they arrived at the front of the battle, the men in armor dismounted one after another, straightened their armor, and prepared to charge.

They are all mounted infantry, better at foot combat.

Approved double-layer, and even triple-layer armor.

When approaching the battle, he is not afraid of death, rushes directly, and presses down with a bow and arrow.

As long as Minggou survived a wave of firearm attacks, Minggou could be completely overwhelmed.

Suo Nuomu could see from a distance that the Ming army in front was neatly arrayed and their banners were clearly visible.

It seemed a little different from the Ming army he had seen before.

Therefore, Suo Nuomu went into battle in person to boost the morale of his men.

Five cattle records, pressed up at the same time.

Zonuomu once participated in the battle of Salhu.

It was the battle of the fortunes of the Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Daming was the attacking side, with superior strength and troops.

But Daming divided his troops into four groups, and Nurhachi led his men to defeat each of them.

Therefore, Zuo Nuomu knew the harm of dividing troops.

Of the 300 Jurchen warriors, there were as many as [-] dead soldiers who charged into battle on horseback.

With an order, the Jurchen army moved forward.

The dead soldiers are in front, the horses are pacing slowly, and the warriors are on the horses, holding maces, iron axes, and iron knives...

It seems to be able to smash anyone who dares to stop them.

Followed by the guards, holding a longbow, as long as they are within the range, they will shoot a rain of arrows all over the sky.

The last one is Ba Yala, with shining white armor, which is very conspicuous.

This battle is a style of play specially researched for the formation of the Ming army. Facing the Ming army, it will be victorious in every battle.

This battlefield is not far from the city wall of Xuanfu Town.

On the city wall, many frontier troops can see the two armies confronting each other from a distance.

They were first frightened by the aura of the Jurchen army, their legs trembling.

"Oh my god! Are the Qiangdi Army going to fight the Tartars head-on? They are all real Tartars! There are more people than the Qiangdi Army, how can we fight?"

"Is the Qiangdi army crazy?"

"..."

At this time, the Ming army had gradually lost the courage to fight the Tartars.

Even if the number is several times that of the Tartars, they often dare not fight.

Not to mention that the number of strong land troops is slightly smaller than that of the Tartars.

He even set up a battle to fight the Tartars in the field.

Isn't this looking for death?

"Master, do you want to divide the troops to prevent the Ming dogs in the city from coming out and attacking our rear?"

Some subordinates proposed to Zuo Nuomu.

"No need! Just let these smart dogs see! This battle, we only need to win the battle quickly, and we won't dare to leave the city for reinforcements even if we kill them.

Sooner or later we will attack Xuanfu Town.Now let's make an example to others, and let them see the invincible aura of our Jurchens! "

Zuo Nuomu glanced at the Ming army at the top of the city, with disdain on his face.

The Ming army in the city came out to support?
Unless the Ming army on the opposite side can withstand their attack and fall into a stalemate with them.

Is it possible for such a thing to happen?

Absolutely impossible!
fast!
All the tricks are in one fast word.

Suo Nuomu has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a lot of experience.

Only by being faster can we deter the Ming army at the top of the city and make great achievements.

"rush!"

Seeing that he was gradually approaching the Ming army's position, Zuo Nuomu drew out his long knife and prepared to charge.

tom!
tom!
On the opposite side, the artillery began to fire.

Boom!

The cannonball hit the ground and exploded. The powerful impact and the flying shrapnel caused people to fall down in pieces.

"Flower bomb? Hongyi cannon?"

Suo Nuomu's heart skipped a beat.

In the battle of Ningyuan a few years ago, his father Nurhachi suffered a big loss in front of the Hongyi cannon and was hit by a flower bomb.

Since then, the injury has not been better, until he died of serious injuries.

Therefore, the Jurchen Tartars are not afraid of anything, but they are full of fear of the Hongyi Cannon.

"How is this possible? How could there be Hongyi cannons in a Ming army of thousands of people? Moreover, there are so many of them?"

tom tom tom!
Zuo Nuomu was shocked, only heard the muffled sound, and one after another bombs whizzed towards him.

Boom boom boom!
Amidst the explosion, there were screams again and again.

Their formation is too dense.

The main reason is that there is no experience in dealing with this kind of war mode at all.

In a short time, these Niu Lu suffered heavy losses.

The armored people suddenly panicked.

"Slave dog! You have lost all face of my Dajin Kingdom!"

Zonomu hacked to death a flustered armored man and shouted:
"Those who dare to retreat in panic, die!
Minions!Follow me!When he rushed to the front, Minggou's firearms were useless. "

Zoromo shouted.

In front, three hundred dead soldiers immediately charged forward.

The guards and Ba Yala who followed behind also took steps and charged desperately.

The sound of cannons kept ringing, and one after another bombs fell to the ground, and a Jurchen soldier was injured by shrapnel and fell to the ground.

Ping Pong Pong!

When they entered a distance of five or six hundred steps, intensive gunfire sounded.

The further they charged, the more people were shot and fell.

Three hundred dead soldiers, after paying the price of dozens of people, finally rushed to within a distance of more than 100 steps.

Then, they were dumbfounded.

On the ground in front of them, there were many hedgehog-like iron frames, all of which were more than one meter high, and their horses couldn't charge at all.

Cavalry mainly rely on the speed of charging. Once the speed drops, people sitting on horses become living targets.

crackle crackle!

Boom boom boom!
Amidst the sound of gunfire, a large number of dead soldiers fell from their horses.

These Tartars were ruthless enough, they got off their horses and charged forward with their weapons in hand.

However, even if they were on foot, they had to bypass the anti-tank horses one by one, and the speed was extremely slow.

The infantry behind also rushed over, but was blocked by anti-tank horses, and the speed also dropped. More than a thousand people crowded here, completely becoming targets.

Every step forward, they have to pay a huge price. The ground is densely packed with corpses.

"Kill! Go forward!"

Zoromo shouted.

His eyes widened, completely unacceptable to the fact that he would lose to a Ming army that was not as numerous as himself.

puff!
A bullet hit his shoulder.

Suo Nuomu's figure swayed violently, and he felt severe pain.

"master!"

Next to him, several Ba Yala were startled, and hurried forward to protect Zonomu.

Suo Nuomu finally reacted.

Now, there is only less than a hundred steps away from the strong land army, but this distance of less than a hundred steps is like a natural moat to them.

They have archers to shoot, but at this distance, the bows and arrows can only barely reach, they are not accurate, and they are not powerful enough to cause extremely limited damage to the heavily armed Ming army.

Looking at the fallen clansmen around him, Zonomu's teeth were about to crack.

lost!

Whether he wants to admit it or not, he has lost this battle.

"Mingjin! Mingjin!"

Zoromo shouted.

Ming Jin withdraws troops!

When these Zhenglan Banner cavaliers heard the sound of gold ringing, they turned around and ran away as if they had received an amnesty.

At this time, they are not proud anymore.

There was blood all over his body, and he didn't know if it was his own or his companion's.

They were not afraid of death before because they knew they couldn't die.

Now, people are really going to die!

Moreover, the deaths are all inexplicable.

The artillery and firecrackers of the Ming army on the opposite side are too powerful.

Bullets and shells roared, constantly harvesting their lives...

Who can stand this?

The way they charged forward was covered with corpses.

The closer it is to the Ming army, the more corpses there will be.

There are many more people lying on the ground than there are people who can run.

"Trumpet! Blow the charge! Charge!"

On the opposite side, Zhao Cheng seized the opportunity and gave an order.

"Brothers, mount the bayonet and charge!"

Zhao Cheng drew out his saber and shouted.

Immediately, a trumpeter stood up, held his head high, and blew the charge:
"Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-"

The loud trumpet sounded and echoed in the open field.

"Come on—"

Immediately, all the sergeants of the strong land army roared from their chests, loaded their bayonets, and rushed forward with their guns in hand.

In the rear, the Huai'an army watched with excitement.

The strong ground army played so much fun!

In the past, they feared the Tartars like tigers, but they were so vulnerable in front of the strong army!
"Come on—"

They also roared, and then rushed forward.

Victory!
Those Tartars who fled are all military exploits!
They are afraid of the Tartars, but they are not afraid of the defeated and fled Tartars!
"Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-"

The loud and clear charging horn seemed to have a unique magic power, which made the blood of the soldiers of the Qiangdi Army and Huai'an Army boil.

When the Tartars heard this voice, it was as if their souls had been taken away.

In early summer, on the land that had just grown green, thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty chased hundreds of fleeing Zhenglan Banner Tartars.

At the top of the city, the defenders couldn't believe their eyes.

The strong land army actually defeated more with less, and defeated five Niulu Tartars.

The Ming army, chasing the Tartars...

When had they seen such a picture?

In the end, less than a hundred Tartars fled to the front of the horse team, rode on the horses, and fled in all directions.

The others were all overtaken by the Qiangdi Army and the Huai'an Army. No matter what happened, they were stabbed to death with bayonets.
