Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 320 The Second Roar of the Cannon

When they had advanced to about [-] paces, there was a strange scene in front of the formation of the two armies.

The cavalry on both sides are marching slowly at the end. In this battle, the cavalry seems to have made up their minds, so it is better not to waste it lightly.

On the side of the Qing army, Mongolian soldiers have always been reluctant to confront tough people, and they would not do the work of asking others to pick peaches for others, even if they were beaten to death.On the side of the Ming army, it was Zhang Shouren who felt that it was unnecessary to waste the good seedlings of the future heavy cavalry in such a war... He had already recognized that most of the opposing Qing army was the Han army, and the other half were the Jurchen soldiers. Almost all of them are Jurchen... Beating these people has damaged the good seedlings of the future, and he feels distressed.

He refrained from speaking, but deliberately asked his subordinates to accept this test.Although the Han army on the opposite side is not a Jurchen, the whole team is stumbling... But it is not enough to underestimate them. This is how the whole army marches these days. [

Only at the moment of charging, when thousands of armies move forward and fight each other for their lives, can the control of the army formation, the mastery of the rhythm, the ability of the sergeants to accept orders on the battlefield, the reaction to adverse situations, and of course, physical fitness, skills, etc. The level of tactics, the sum of these is the comprehensive benchmark of the strength of an army.

The Qing army was waiting, they were gunners, and the formation they formed was the famous triple formation left by the ancestors of the Shenji Battalion.There are the main soldiers of the front army, the left and right wings, the central army and the reserve team, and each wing has columns ranging from the front team to the squadron.

This Han army has learned from others and arranged the three-fold formation in a decent manner.

In this way of fighting, when the front line is within [-] paces of the enemy, the front line and squadron will not move, and the rear line will catch up quickly. They will be in front of the front line, armed with guns, and ready to attack.When the enemy army came within a hundred paces, they entered the effective range of the muskets, then waved the flag, beat the drum as a signal, the front line soldiers fired, then the squadron took over, and then the rear team took over.

This is the three-fold formation of the Shenji Battalion that ran rampant in the desert in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. The three-stage strike in Little Japan is amazing. In fact, it is 200 years behind the Ming Dynasty. The level is even more incomparable with the Mongolian cavalry that still survived in the past. The gap between big and small countries is all-round.

In the use of this triple formation, that is, during the battle, the positions of the three teams must be constantly adjusted and changed. Especially fast, the triple stack is also conducive to adjusting these.

Of course, it should have been the general's responsibility to control and grasp these.If you can control these things well, you are a qualified general. If you are superb and command well, you will naturally be a famous general for a while.

Being able to form this array shows that Kong Youde was not idle in Liaodong. What he learned in Dengzhou was Western gymnastics, which is what the Portuguese taught.But Kong Youde didn't understand it thoroughly. What was the popular Spanish phalanx and Swiss phalanx at that time, Kong Youde had never heard of these things, and even if he had, he definitely didn't take them seriously.

Although the tri-fold array is good, it is the military formation of the early Ming Dynasty after all. It took a lot of effort and effort to practice the firearms array 200 years ago, which only shows that Kong Youde's thinking is rigid and his level is indeed limited.
