Eight hundred and seventy-one Li Wen insists on his own judgment

As the three-sided governor who was appointed by the imperial court, Li Wen was very resolute on the battlefield and was quite sharp when facing the provocations of the Northern Barbarians. He was indeed a good player in dealing with the Northern Barbarians. Although he was very old, he was still strong and strong.

This time, the rebels were depressed before the battle, and the non-war losses were quite large. They were defeated in the first fight and were defeated. The morale of the army was extremely depressed. At this moment, Li Wen urgently needed a victory to restore morale and stabilize his impetuous morale.

"The rebels' firearms are sharp, skilled in combat, and strong in combat. They are not under our army. We underestimated the enemy before. Now, what other good ways do you have to deal with those rebels? For example, transport more muskets from the rear to attack the rebel hills?"

Li Wen asked his subordinates and senior officials.

High-ranking people, look at me, look at you, and they all showed a look of embarrassment.

"Governor, the rebels' firearms are so sharp that our army expects. At present, there is no good way to fight the enemy except for a head-on attack."

"Yes, Governor, the journey to the army is difficult and dangerous. Our army is trying to be as light as possible. There are very few large-scale weapons. Even if we start to ask the rear to send more muskets, it is probably too late. It is better to force the superior forces to attack us by waiting here."

"Governor, it takes time to load a musket. It is easy to overheat after multiple shots, and so is the bird gun. Therefore, the continuous shots are limited. Unless there are many rebels, bird guns, it is impossible to engage in long-term combat. In the end, it is necessary to fight the battlefield with real swords and guns. Our army has many troops. As long as we resist the firearm attack of the rebels, we will definitely be able to fight with the rebels in close combat. The decisive way is to win."

"Governor, the firearm, is not worth mentioning. What is really important is to fight against each other. Two thousand people can rush up the hill to fight against the rebels. The reason why they are weak in succession when they are defeated is that if the succession is sufficient, dealing with the rebels is a trivial matter."

The high-level actors conducted theoretical analysis on the weaknesses of firearms and their strengths, which was praised by Li Wen.

"Well, it's reasonable. Firearms are a path after all and cannot take on major responsibilities. If the army continues to be attacked, they can definitely take down the hills and move forward! That's great! The visitor sent an order to arrange a team of thousands to launch a continuous attack on the hills of the rebels. If the front army is defeated, the latter will continue. If this goes on, the rebels will be defeated like a mountain!"

Li Wen made up his mind.

When the military order was issued, the army began to organize a thousand-man stormtroopers as required. To put it bluntly, it was a suicide squad. Each person only brought short weapons, striving to attack the hill in front of him in the shortest time until he took down the hill and then attacked the next hill. In short, it was necessary to break through the rebels' hill defense line no matter what.

The several hills facing the road in front of them were close to each other, and all the Zhennan Army troops set up defenses on the hills and could support each other. If they did not take down these hills, they would not be able to further attack Liuba. Faced with the command of the general, the border troops could only grit their teeth and go into battle.

So the next day, the two sides fought fiercely and artillery fire continued.

Once the border army approaches the range of the Zhennan Army artillery, the shells will be smashed down fiercely, and they will be smashed down fiercely with a scorching wave of air, which will instantly take away many lives. This will be a huge blow to the military formation. The border army is not used to fighting with the firearms troops. It took a long time to find the tactic of dispersed attacks.

This can reduce the lethality of the artillery and reduce the casualties of the border troops. However, when rushing to the hills, people have to concentrate, which has become a living target for bird gunners.

The bird gunners of Zhennan Army were trained and fired very quickly. Rounds of smoke rose, rounds of lead were shot down, hitting the chest, head, arm, leg, blood flowed like a broken limb, flying around, and the border army suffered heavy losses...

One hour after the war started, two consecutive teams of thousands were broken up and lost their combat effectiveness and ran back desperately. Li Wen, who was so angry that he went to the front line to supervise the battle, immediately organized his own personal guard to form a supervision team, and ordered that if there were soldiers running back to kill him immediately, he would not show mercy, so as to stop the retreat of the border army.

But, what's the use of this?

Being defeated is the general trend, and it really breaks the morale of the army. No matter how many people in the supervising team are, they can't stand the running back. Compared with the lethality of bird guns and cannons, it is better to avoid the sword. As long as there are more people, they can disperse the supervising team.

This forced Li Wen to organize more supervisory teams. When the deterrent power of the supervisory team even exceeded that of the Zhennan Army's counterattack, the border army's thousand-person team finally stopped running back. They knew that they could not survive after running back, so they might as well die on the front line...

Their combat effectiveness suddenly increased, caught the Zhennan Army off guard. Although it was still annihilated in the end, the Zhennan Army's defense line was unstable. So before the third thousand-man team came up, the Zhennan Army on the first hill finally chose to retreat.

Retreat to the second line of defense and continue fighting.

"Governor! The rebels have withdrawn!"

A high sergeant pointed to the hill where the Zhennan army retreated, shouting in surprise.

When Li Wen saw it, he was immediately excited and immediately realized that such a tactic was effective. Although the Thousands of Man team suffered a bit of a huge loss, as long as they could break through the defense line, it would make sense.

"Continue attacking! Kill me up!!"

Li Wen directed the border troops to rush up the hill and rushed towards the next hill.

He himself also took the gangsters to climb the hills, facing the remaining hills in front of him, with a serious expression.

"If it continues, how many troops will be lost to take down these hills? The rebels have too great advantages. If our army wants to attack for a strong force, the losses will not be small. Now that Li Ruzhang's troops have not arrived, our army must not lose too much!"

A calm Gao Gan advised Li Wen like this.

Li Wen thought for a while and shook his head.

"When the two armies fight, the focus is on momentum. When the momentum rises, the momentum will definitely be unstoppable. The rebels also rely on a momentum. If we defeat their momentum, we will naturally win. The rebels will be defeated like a mountain. Therefore, this tone must not be relaxed, otherwise it will be difficult to raise it again."

Li Wen insisted on his judgment and continued to force the Thousand-man team to charge against the hills, ignoring the artillery fire.

In fact, he didn't really want to ignore those sharp muskets and bird guns. He really didn't have many. He wanted to keep his ammunition and muskets until he used them when siege. He used up now. What should I do if there is still a long way to go in the future?

I have long heard that Xiao Ruxun is good at using firearms, and his firearms are unique in the Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that it is true. Zhennan's weapons are so sharp today that they have seen the sharpness of their weapons, and they have also seen their own powerlessness, but there is really no way.
