Chapter 465 Cavalry dispatched
"forward…"
Azig was wearing silver armor and looked very brave on the battlefield. With the order of this guy, tens of thousands of soldiers carried heavy shields and began to move forward slowly.
Many Ming soldiers were stunned at this time. They had never seen the Qing people attack like this. They all rely on the impact of the Eight Banners Cavalry. Why did they adopt the attack method of the Han army this time? Don’t these people see it?
"Go to his grandma. No matter how they change, we still follow the original attack method. I really don't believe it. With the thing they made, would it be more powerful than shells? Let the artillery attack me hard, but you must be careful not to hit the city wall."
Hu Qiang spitted out a mouthful of foam, and he couldn't stand the Qing soldiers who pretended to be a traitor and fought from Qufu to this place. He didn't see how powerful these people were. They were defeated by our subordinates at any time.
"Babys, give them some colors and let me put them on."
The artillery commander said very easily.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of crossbows fired.
The sound of crossbow arrows cutting through the sky was heard by the soldiers behind.
Whenever they hear this sound, it means that our artillery is not far away. At this time, you just need to watch quietly and see how miserable the other party was blown by the shells.
Seeing the attack of the Ming artillery, Ajige also frowned. Although he had never fought with the Ming army, he had heard from others that as long as the Ming Dynasty artillery fired, we would definitely face huge casualties.
These are some relatively elite troops. If they encounter those second-line troops, they may collapse directly under the first round of artillery attacks. This has happened before.
"Don't worry, my husband, we have our own response plan."
When Ajige heard the words of the Han deputy general next to him, he was a little puzzled. Could it be that your flesh and blood bodies can still withstand other people's shells?
"Change array."
As the command of the generals of the Qing army was in front of the thousands of people, the changes occurred quickly. Originally, they were lined up in an orderly queue and advanced slowly, but suddenly, ten soldiers were in a group and quickly formed a circle.
All the outer sides are shield soldiers and throwing soldiers inside...
During these battles with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers were also growing.
Especially the Han people in their army, the Manchus would not accept these new things and kept improving their ability to ride and shoot, believing that they could win by riding and shooting with bows and horses.
But the Han generals had already seen it clearly. If they continued to follow the original plan, they would probably never have hope of winning, so they made a series of improvements.
In the first round of artillery bombardment, the army lost about three or four hundred men and the other troops, which was completely equal in the number of losses, but by the second round of artillery bombardment, their losses were greatly reduced.
The first round of artillery attacks was because these people did not change the formation, so their losses were similar to those of others.
However, in the second round of artillery, most people used shields to block the flying shrapnel, and they used crossbows. Their power was generally only two grenades. Under the protection of the heavy shield, many people were intact.
"His grandma is so legged. These people are really different from other people. They really let them learn a little."
Hu Qiang also saw it clearly with a telescope. Although there were no big casualties in front of him.
After the Qing soldiers formed one small circle after another, they continued to move closer to the Ming position, and now they have entered a range of 300 meters.
The soldiers who had changed into new rifles had already started firing, but under the protection of the heavy shield, the results they achieved were very rare. Only the Qing soldiers with few covers could be killed by them, and most of the soldiers were intact.
"Order the cavalry to prepare."
Hu Qiang finally had no smile on his face. At this time, he had to have a backhand move.
If it were only infantry on the front line, it would be difficult to solve these people, unless Hu Qiang ignored the safety of the city walls in the distance and directly ordered his artillery to fire.
Hu Qiang had already given this order, but unless it was absolutely necessary, he tried to keep a complete capital. From now on, this will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty and a place that all countries admire.
In the hearts of many people, Nanjing City was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to put the capital in this place.
But these soldiers are different. They were driven out of here. Although His Royal Highness made a strategic shift back then, some pure soldiers still think that they were driven out.
So regaining the capital is like a spiritual pillar of theirs. If they can't get it back, they may die with confidence.
After receiving Hu Qiang's order, the two cavalry regiments quickly prepared for battle.
Neither Li Guodong nor Ye Yun had fought such a wealthy battle. Since His Royal Highness announced the Northern Expedition, we have never had an absolute advantage on the battlefield.
Hu Qiang's war this time was completely different. We have an absolute advantage in equipment and an absolute advantage in number of people.
The main reason is that all the new recruits trained in the rear were out of the cage, and some veterans on the front line were combined, and Hu Qiang's army reached an astonishing 180,000.
Moreover, all of these people can be mobilized on the battlefield, and there is no place to station troops, and the mobility is extremely strong.
When the Ming cavalry appeared on both wings of the Ming army, Ajige also frowned.
He has been in charge of cavalry all his life, so he naturally understands that the combat effectiveness of cavalry does not need to go to the battlefield to fight. He just needs to look at the other party’s correct couplet, and he knows that this cavalry is very elite.
According to Ajige's idea, the cavalry should have their own armor, but the Ming cavalry did not look like this. They were wearing dark gray clothes all over their bodies.
Facts have proved that in the battle of thermal weapons, those armors did not play much role. Zhu Cixuan simply refused to let his subordinates stare at the lottery and exchanged a batch of military uniforms from the system.
If there are people who come here through time, you will understand what military uniforms are. They are all German-style uniforms in World War II. Don’t mention how handsome they are when wearing this thing...
