Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 218 The majestic formation, the magic weapon of restraining cavalry!
"careful!"

"Protect the Heavenly King!"

"what is that?"

"Rocket? Is there a rocket this big?"

In an exclamation.

The first rocket landed at the front of the Taiping Army's middle army.

The air waves generated by the violent explosion rolled over.

At the front of the Chinese army, the unlucky veterans of the old Taiping Army battalion not far from the center of the explosion were very unlucky to be swept by the power of the explosion, and at the same time, the older fragments whizzed and swirled in the air and swept across the front army formation.

puff!puff!puff!
The fragments produced by the explosion spinning and flying in the air easily tore apart the cotton armor lined with iron sheets on the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, blood shot out, and there were screams again and again.

Haven't waited for them to react.

A frightening scene happened.

In the distance, dozens of rockets were trailing white smoke covering the sky.

Boom boom boom!
The central army of the Taiping Army, which had been bombed by rockets, was forced to retreat and give way to the battlefield.

And this time.

The Ming army came out in formation.

The two infantry brigades echoed each other, one behind the other.

Form the army.

On the right is the Five Thousand Cuirassier Brigade.

The polished breastplate gleamed in the sun.

The Taiping soldiers who stabbed far away couldn't help their eyes hurting.

"Heavenly King! The Ming army has come out!" Zhang Hanchao exclaimed, "How dare they attack!"

Liu Zhixie's face changed slightly: "Emperor Zhu is going to fight me now!"

The other party put on a big posture.

But Liu Zhixie backed down a little in his heart.

But by this time he also knew.

Deducting the old and the weak, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now has 17 capable soldiers.

The Ming army on the opposite side had only [-].

One out of ten.

If the Taiping Army did not dare to fight upright.

That's still fighting for the world.

Let's settle the bulk as soon as possible.

If you retreat at this time, you dare not fight.

The decline of the Taiping Army is completely irreversible.

If you still want to give it a try, give it a shot.

Then at this time!
Liu Zhixie took a deep breath.

"Send envoys to the Ming camp and make an appointment to fight with Emperor Zhu!"

The so-called fight.

It is a dignified battle where the two sides agree on the time and the agreed place.

Emperor Zhu had only [-] soldiers and horses on hand, and [-] were far away in Guangping, and he couldn't get through for a while.

17 to [-], with such a large force advantage, if Liu Zhixie still dare not fight, then just surrender, and maybe he can go to Zhongdu to become a Taiping Gong.

January 1794, 1 AD, seven o'clock in the morning.

In Daming Mansion, west of Nanguantao Town, on an open plain with a radius of ten Huali.

The armies of both sides formed a formation.

Here is an endless plain, because it doesn't matter what grabbing favorable terrain, so the military formations of both sides are set up separately.

During this process, there was no large-scale confrontation.

When the sun rises in the sky.

It was about eight o'clock in the morning.

The Taiping Army with more troops entered the battlefield first.

The total strength is as high as 16.

Most of them are foot teams.

There were 6 cavalry, including [-] soldiers under Liu Zhixie, and [-] knights gathered from the armies of the princes.

[-] cavalry and [-] infantry marched out.

There are [-] guards left.

"Your Majesty, the Taiping Army has arrived on the battlefield, and Liu Zhixie's Heavenly King Banner is also in the army."

News of the dispatch of Taipingzui by the Ming army's scouts soon came.

"It's really early."

Zhu Daohua smiled, grabbed a big pork bun, and swallowed it, mouth full of oil.

This is breakfast for the whole army today.

Up to the emperor Zhu Daohua, down to ordinary private soldiers.

They are full of pork stuffed buns.

"But we are not in a hurry, let the soldiers have enough to eat before setting off!"

Two or three mouthfuls stuffed the pork buns into the belly.

Zhu Daohua stood up.

Get on your horse.

Start inspecting the barracks.

"Long live! Long live!!"

Wherever Zhu Daohua's figure appeared, the soldiers of the Ming army burst into earth-shattering cheers.

In the sound of long live.

Zhu Daohua looked at the Taiping Army that was gathering in the distance.

It's time for dinner.

This battle should be over.

After solving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the future is worry-free
It's time to capture Yanyun, by then.
I should be the master of the world in bursts.

"Eat your fill! Today's battle will probably end at dinner time!"

at this time.

In the barracks of the Guards Cuirassier Brigade.

An elite cuirassier was also busy stuffing big meat buns into their mouths.

"It's finally time for our cuirassier brigade to go out!"

Two soldiers who are not very tall but have very broad shoulders are sitting side by side, speaking the dialect of northern Jiangxi.

What he was talking about was releasing the Battle of Northern Jiangxi and breaking away from the Green Camp on the battlefield. He was regarded as the leader of the uprising before the battle, Wang Guofang and Wu Laoer.

But they have changed their names now.

One changed her name to Wang Guofang.

One changed his name to Wu Er.

The reason why the two were able to become soldiers of the Guards Cuirassier Brigade was of course related to their riding skills.

They all participated in the martial arts in the second year of Guangfu.

Both of them are hereditary green battalion officials.

Riding a horse is a skill passed down from ancestors.

In the case of the lack of masters in horse control in the Ming army.

Both of them were selected into the Guards Cuirassier Brigade as Wu Xiucai and received the most rigorous training.

Of course.

Neither of them had any complaints about training.

Because the treatment of the cuirassier brigade is the best in the whole army.

The food label is also the highest.

"Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, the first battle of our cuirassier brigade will definitely shock the world!"

Wu Er said while eating.

His eyes were eager to try.

The soldiers of the entire cuirassier brigade were also eager to fight.

Military exploits can only be obtained on the battlefield.

Just training.

Can I be promoted?

"Are you full?"

Wang Guofang and Wu Er's company commanders stood up and asked loudly.

"I am full!"

"Very good! Wear armor! Lead the horses out! All brigades muster!"

Accompanied by orders.

Wuqianming appeared in the forefront of the battlefield, wearing a shiny breastplate and leading a tall horse.

At this time, the two infantry brigades have completed their arrangements one after the other, forming a large infantry formation with 5000 people in the middle, and behind him is the guard artillery brigade of the Ming army. The muzzle pointed obliquely at the sky.

The cuirassier brigade was placed on the left flank.

On the right wing were [-] dragoons assembled temporarily to act as light cavalry.

As soon as the cuirassiers appeared.

It attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

"Good horse!"

Ran Tianyuan couldn't help but praise.

The war horses led by the cuirassiers of the Ming army were all Indian or Arabian horses.

Tall and vigorous.

It looks more energetic than a short Mongolian horse.

"Good armor!"

Nie Siju stared at the breastplates of the cavalry.

"The one-piece steel armor is too rich for Emperor Zhu."

Everyone looked at the cuirassier who looked like a heavenly soldier and general with complicated expressions, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"What are you panicking about! Our army has 16 soldiers! No matter how powerful Emperor Zhu's soldiers are, they can't withstand the blow of my army!"

Liu Zhixie said loudly.

at this time.

The formation of the Taiping Army is divided into four parts.

In the middle is the musketeer team led by Liu Zhixie.

The [-] Celestial Cavalry were arranged on the left flank, ready to charge at any time.

"Heavenly King, Emperor Zhu's army hasn't finished forming yet, why don't you send the cavalry forward!"

Rose suggested.

Liu Zhixie nodded, and looked at Wu Wang Yao Zhifu.

"Wu Wang, who will fight in the first battle?"

"Let Xu Hou and Luo Hou lead the cavalry to attack." Yao Zhifu ordered Xu Tiande and Luo Siju's generals.

Lost since Kaifeng.

Yao Zhifu's own headquarters lost troops and generals, and his status was greatly reduced.

However, Liu Zhixie still regarded Yao Zhifu as one of his own, added soldiers and horses to him, and entrusted him with important tasks.

"Your Majesty! The horse team of the Taiping Army is coming up!"

Tao Biquan said loudly.

On the right front of the army.

A mass of light cavalry from the Taiping Army pressed forward.

These cavalry did not wear iron armor, and their weapons were wooden spears, sabers, bows and arrows.

The formation is also very scattered.

But there are many.

"Your Majesty, just use rockets to disperse them."

The staff officer on the side said.

Now Zhu Daohua completely handed over the formulation of specific tactics to these staff officers who had received orthodox military education.

He only takes the general direction.

The specific execution will be handed over to the following people for execution.

The emperor must do his duty as an emperor.

Leapfrog commanded a musketeer below to advance 15 meters.

You thought you were playing Red Alert.
Rockets are indeed a magic weapon to disperse cavalry.

Especially the horses of the Celestial Cavalry who have not received special adaptive training.

When seeing rockets rushing with sharp whistling sound and bright flames.

The explosion hasn't happened yet.

There were already war horses spinning around in a panic.

Boom boom boom.

The rockets exploded quickly with a bang.

The power of the explosion is actually not that great.

But the momentum is much more shocking than the artillery - oh, it is even more shocking.

The horses of the knights of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all Mongolian horses found in Guanzhong.

Honestly.

Where have you seen such a scene.

It was whistling again, flames again, explosions again, and thick smoke.

After a scare.

The horses were quickly frightened and fled in all directions, no matter how much the knight on their backs shouted to make peace, it was useless.

And right now.

The Qingqi of the Ming army, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed out quickly, first platooning their guns, and then replaced them with sabers.

All of a sudden, the Qingqi of the Taiping Army that came up first was crushed.
