Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 122 Is this a win?
The actual damage caused by the six shells is not too large-at least compared to a cavalry of a thousand people, the casualties of about 20 people are actually not particularly serious.

However, the sound of shell explosions and the smell of blood made the cavalrymen of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion panic-stricken.

Many horses jumped up on the spot, collided with other war horses, and backlogged.

The roaring continued.

The charging horse team was in a mess.

"Disperse! Disperse!"

Zhalanga yelled hastily.

His reaction was quick.

Without waiting for the second wave of shells to come, he let his subordinates disperse.

The scattered cavalry flowed along both sides of the hollow phalanx like a torrent separated by a dam. At the same time, the knights on their horses began to draw their bows and shoot arrows towards the air force phalanx of the Ming army.

at the same time.

The musketeers in the hollow phalanx also began to fight back with their muskets.

Bows and arrows fell from the sky, and most of them landed on the steel helmets of Ming soldiers.

The arrowheads used by the Qing army were forged from pig iron, which was not enough to pierce a steel helmet.

However, the lead bullets fired by the Ming soldiers were fatal.

The cavalry of the Qing army passed by the hollow phalanx.

The bows and arrows failed to kill many people, but a large number of knights on horseback fell down, falling to the ground like dumplings along the way.

For the soldiers of the Ming army, the soldiers in the front row are vulnerable to bow and arrow attacks.

However, because the Qing army on horses used projectile tactics, and the flight path of the arrows was a parabola, all the arrows falling from the sky were blocked by the Ming army's wide-rimmed steel helmets.

So such a shot is very asymmetrical.

There are only a few injuries here.

There are large areas that have fallen to the ground.

"Let the cavalry retreat!"

Le Bao's face was so gloomy that he was about to squeeze out water.

Simply dispatching cavalry seems to have no effect.

Due to the existence of the sandbag car behind.

Those general cannons that could reach the hollow phalanx of the Ming army with direct firepower also couldn't play a role.

Now all that is left is to dispatch the infantry and fight hand-to-hand!

"The superintendent of the governor is going to battle! Send out 4000 people, let's go together!"

Four hit one!This time it will work.

"Horizontal team! Horizontal team!"

On the side of the Ming army, when they saw the opponent dispatching infantry, the frontline commanders immediately changed their formation.

The drums were beating unhurriedly, and the infantry of the Ming army who switched from the hollow square formation to the horizontal formation raised their spears, and their pace began to become faster and faster.

behind them.

The grenadiers were already ready.

"Drop the bomb! Drop the bomb!!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Countless grenades flew overhead and flew towards the Qing army formation ahead.

There were explosions one after another, and the well-organized army formation was blown to pieces in an instant, and at this moment.

More than 1000 bayonets came suddenly.

Pfft!Pfft!
The sound of the bayonet piercing the human body, and the sound of blood splattering lingered on the battlefield.

"Okay! One thousand beats four thousand, easy to defeat! The soldiers of the No.17 Brigade have been trained!"

Yang Yuchun smiled while holding the binoculars behind his back.

The next moment, the smile on his face froze.

After those sandbag cars.

A series of mortar bombs rose into the air.

Attacking towards the already chaotic battle formation.

The violent explosions one after another with thick gunpowder smoke instantly covered the battlefield, making Yang Yuchun anxious.

Suddenly encountered shelling.

I don't know what's going on?

The momentum of these dozens of mortars firing a large amount of explosives filled with black powder is really huge.

Because the quality of the gunpowder of the Qing army is not very good.

The power of the explosion is uneven.

But the smoke is quite large.

Immediately, the entire battlefield was filled with choking smoke.

Most of the non-infantry of the No.17 Brigade who was bombarded were recruits.

Suddenly bombarded by shells.

Some people retreated in a hurry, and some fell to the ground.

The battle formation was almost impossible to maintain on the spot.

If it hadn't been for them to crush the hand-to-hand soldiers of the Ganshan Green Camp before, they would be in a mess with the Southern Green Camp soldiers behind them.

Now this Ming army infantry is afraid that it will be wiped out by the regiment.

"Ming Jin retreats! Let the first battalion and the second battalion come down to rectify!"

Yang Yuchun was furious.

"All of the two battalions will be demerited once!!"

"The reserve team stabilizes the front line!"

"The inspection team gathers up the broken soldiers and finds that there are escapees, and the military law will be followed!"

did not say.

This time, there must be many unlucky people who have lost their weapons and have all beards on their bodies, and they will be executed by the army.

The military law of the Ming army is quite strict.

They are all based on "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Ji Xiao".

Although many rules of beheading at every turn have been removed.

But it is still quite strict.

"Okay! Well played!"

Qianlong patted his thigh straight.

In fact, during this period, the Qing army suffered at least a thousand casualties.

The Ming army has less than 100 people.

The casualty ratio is quite disparate,

But this was also the first time that the Qing army repelled the Ming army in battle.

It can be said to be a considerable progress.

"Le Bao is my minister! Well commanded! Rewarded!"

Qianlong was in a good mood.

"Did you see that the mortars of the Green Battalion and the Packed Army cooperate with each other, and they are equally powerful enough to beat the Ming army? These 30 mortars can achieve such a record. In the future, our army must pay attention to explosive ammunition. , to create a larger mortar with a longer range!"

"If there are thousands of cannons like this, what kind of enemy will be invincible!"

Although the swap ratio is ugly.

But Qianlong still showed the joy of winning this round, talking loudly to encourage the generals.

He Lin on the side had a look of regret at this moment.

"It's a pity! It's a pity that if there are thousands of cavalry taking advantage of the chaos to attack, Ni Ming's more than 1000 infantry will have to confess here. It's a pity that these sandbags are blocking the way."

"If there are no sandbags, how can our army's mortars be safely transported to a position where they can reach the enemy?" Fu Kang'an laughed.

"Your Majesty, all these sandbags are in place now. At this time, we should send people to guard this antenna, and push the front line as close as possible to the Niming position!"

Rely on the cover formed by these sand shield vehicles lying on the battlefield.

The Qing army is equivalent to launching an offensive position at a further distance from the Ming army.

Relying on the advantages of military strength.

Under the closer charge, the reaction time of the Ming army's artillery fire will be shorter.

In other words.

As long as you can grind with the Ming army as before, fight a war of attrition.

According to this situation.

It is definitely not impossible to eat these five thousand Ming troops! !

"In addition, let the green camps of the southern provinces go up to dig maps and fill in the trenches, dig out a trench using those sandbag trucks as a line, and rely on this trench to launch an attack. Still follow the same method, first use the green camps of the southern provinces to charge, Consume the opponent's ammunition, and then the Ganshan Green Battalion and the Packed Army will look for opportunities to fight again!"

Fukang'an said.

Are you fighting a war of attrition with the Ming army?
He Lin frowned slightly.

Can the Qing Dynasty win?

"It is possible to consume at least five thousand Ming troops." Fu Kang'an seemed to know what He Lin was thinking.

I am very clear and need a victory too much.

"Good fight!"

At this time, our King Zhu Daming was as happy as Qianlong.

He is receiving the newly appointed commander of the Dragoon Brigade, Luo Dingshan,

Being able to achieve the current record in the case of hastily forming an army.

Luo Dingshan has indeed made a great contribution.

"Your Majesty, this dragoon brigade was originally formed by mobilizing hunters from various brigades. They are all elite soldiers from various departments. It is not surprising that they can achieve such a result." Luo Dingshan laughed.

The two walked side by side, and Zhu Daohua asked, "How about it, can such mounted infantry run across the Central Plains?"

This is what Zhu Daohua is most concerned about.

If you want to raise fine horses step by step, and then train and train large-scale cavalry.

There is no such thing as ten or eight years.

It's really not feasible.

It is impossible for Zhu Daohua to wait ten or eight years before attacking the Central Plains.

The Manchurian Eight Banners Group, the sooner they are driven away, the better.

Judging from what Qianlong did in northern Jiangxi.

He really doesn't care about the lives of the Han people.

But Zhu Daohua cares, if the civil war is over, hundreds of millions of people will be lost.

That's really a pity.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua would never give Qianlong much time. After the incident in the south, the future Northern Expedition to the Central Plains would inevitably be a thunderous blow, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria would be expelled from the Central Plains with lightning speed.

To accomplish this goal.

Without enough cavalry - or units capable of maneuvering like cavalry - it's unlikely to be complete.

And Luo Dingshan's effective use of mounted infantry undoubtedly made Zhu Daohua see another possibility.

"Your Majesty, the key to this cavalry infantry is the guys in their hands. They are equipped with rifled guns, and they can shoot far and accurately. Only in this way can they display the power of cavalry infantry. They can be guerrilla troops and fight in formation. Gathering is a mass of fire, even if you have almost no riding skills, as long as you can ride a horse and run, it’s fine, anyway, you don’t use the tactic of riding a horse to charge the battle.”

Luo Dingshan said.

"Having a large number of cavalry infantry is enough to contain or even defeat the enemy's cavalry. When our army arrives on the Central Plains battlefield in the future, we don't have to worry about being entangled by the enemy's large-scale cavalry."

Of course Luo Dingshan wanted to sell his mule soldiers to King Zhu Daming.

If there is a large-scale increase in the establishment of mounted infantry in the future.

Then, as the brigade commander of the first cavalry infantry brigade, he will definitely be of great use in the future.

Zhu Daohua, on the other hand, was calculating the cost.

If you just ask to be able to ride a horse.

That training cost is really not high.

Many infantry brigades today can be used as mounted infantry brigades with a little training.

And the equipment.

The first is the war horse.

If Japanese horses are used, the price of Japanese horses is not expensive, and they can be imported on a large scale.

In the future, it can be replaced with better Mongolian horses - and Mongolian horses can be crossed with Japanese horses to form a large-scale horse herd, which can further reduce costs.

Second is firearms.

Use a rifled gun.

Before the mass-produced steam engine was developed.

The cost to acquire a rifled gun is also quite high.

However, now that there are machine tools powered by steam engines, the cost of the Ming army's production of muskets and even rifled guns has been greatly reduced, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

So there is no problem in that regard.

The equipment cost of a mounted infantry is about twice that of ordinary infantry - the main cost is the horse.

Started a cavalry infantry regiment of about 4 to [-].

For the current Daming, the pressure is not too great.

Especially after completely controlling the south, the new Ming Dynasty will have the largest production base of tea, silk and porcelain in the world.

These are all traditional Chinese export products.

In addition to the expansion of new industrial chains such as cotton textiles, pharmaceuticals, sugar, and steel in Guangdong factories.

At that time, Daming will rely on these "high-tech" industrial chains to grab more wealth.

At this moment, a horse rode over.

"Report! No.17 brigade battle report!"

Zhu Daohua opened it and took a look.

Brows furrowed.

"Lost for a while? What did Yang Yuchun do for food!"
