Chapter 98
You should know that this data is in the wild. In the past, we were under the tall city walls and had never produced such data. It is really hard to believe.
If these people had not experienced it personally, they might not believe it themselves. They were not facing ordinary enemies. This was the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, which was a mythical existence in this era.
During training, Zhang Dashan knew that their weapons were powerful and they would definitely show their power on the battlefield, but the problem was that they did not expect to be so powerful.
When he was in the capital, Zhang Dashan also fought against Li Zicheng's army with the East Palace guards, but if he had to evaluate it, the current army was already even more powerful than the East Palace guards at that time.
But the guards of the East Palace were all selected from a hundred. No matter how elite the soldiers under them were, how could they catch up with the guards of the East Palace who protected His Highness the Prince?
In fact, this is the result of three months of recruit training. It turns out that His Royal Highness asked them to train for a full three months, and many people still think that it has passed. After all, many people think that their abilities are done and they can go directly to the battlefield, and there is no need to continue training.
This is really a waste of time and money. Now Zhang Dashan really wants to block their mouths with feces. If there were no three months of training, how could such a result be achieved today?
Zhang Dashan did not waste his time here. After the initial surprise, he immediately asked his brothers to clean the battlefield and sent the only wounded and sick person here back.
The Qing cavalry was really not a big deal. It was already quite difficult to shoot bows and arrows in such a state.
If it were our own cavalry, they probably had already withdrawn and ran away. Of course, this is about the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in the past. They don’t know what the cavalry trained by Li Yan now looks like. After all, there is no first battle on the battlefield.
"Company Commander, are we guarding here or retreating?"
The soldiers under his command have finished cleaning.
Zhang Dashan looked at everyone's ammunition reserves. He basically used them all in the attack just now, so it was meaningless to stay here. Besides, the guns have already fired here, so he should be vigilant behind them.
"Concentrate all the ammunition into the five of us, and the rest of you will go back immediately. Anyway, there are our patrols around you. If you see them, tell them our coordinates. The rest will return to the camp immediately. No one can delay in the middle. If there is not enough ammunition, the things in our hands will be similar to a fire stick."
Zhang Dashan quickly made arrangements, and the remaining gunpowder was enough for the five of them. If others continued to stay here, there would be no need.
As soon as Zhang Dashan finished speaking, another patrol team appeared not far away. They also heard the gunshots and rushed here, and they hurried slowly, but still missed the battle just now.
It just so happened that this was also from the company under Zhang Dashan, which was even better. It turned out that the patrol team left five people behind Zhang Dashan, and all the rest went back.
No one knows whether the Qing people are coming or not. We can't just retreat like this. We are the victorious side.
Moreover, what His Royal Highness said is that as long as you defeat the other party, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"The Qing people are here too."
The patrol team here has just set up a defensive position, and hundreds of Qing cavalrymen have also come from afar. It seems that everyone does not want to retreat.
The Qing people came here this time with a team of 100 people, and they were all cavalrymen. It seems that the failure just now made them angry.
The enemies on both sides were particularly jealous when they met, and there was no need to say anything. The Qing cavalry immediately began to charge. This time, the hundreds of cavalry finally let the Ming army know the power of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.
When we entered the fifty meters, our shooting accuracy was already very high, but there were also many casualties on our side.
It is not easy to shoot arrows at a distance of fifty meters to ensure a casualty rate of more than ten percent. If the Ming cavalry were asked to do it, this number would probably be in half.
Li Guodong, who was in the rear, also learned the news. This guy knew that this was the first time he had faced the Qing army and he would never have any mistakes.
We must win the first battle, which is a huge psychological problem for the soldiers.
If we win here, the soldiers will definitely be very morale. If they fail, don’t talk about how to fight later. Someone will probably have to disperse the number tonight.
This is also impossible. The Ming Dynasty has accumulated too much emotion of failure. Although many soldiers in the army do not say it, they are extremely scared. After all, they have lost nearly half of their territory.
The generals of the Qing Dynasty also meant this, so the number of people between the two sides was increasing. Soon the Qing Dynasty sent more than 1,500 cavalry and 2,000 infantrymen arrived near the battlefield.
Li Guodong was not willing to be outdone. In addition to gathering the surrounding patrols, he also sent more than a thousand people in the military camp.
We also concentrated two thousand people in front of the position. Although they were not as large as theirs, the number of wars was not the number of battles. We won by quality.
More than two thousand soldiers formed a semi-ringed regular code, mainly because they were afraid that the Qing soldiers would assault from the flanks, so the soldiers on both sides placed a lot of refusal horses in front of the positions.
This kind of thing is about one meter tall and is made of wood. It is sharp toward the enemy side. If the cavalry charges, it will cause them great delays.
Of course, it is not absolute. If the opponent has superb riding skills, as long as there is a certain buffer space, you can jump over it, but it can delay their speed. This is true.
Li Guodong and the Manchu Shandong Governor Fang Dayou both knew the news here. They quickly approached the front line, and the soldiers in the camps of all sides were ready for battle.
The scale of the conflict continues to increase, and the personnel of both sides continue to drive near the battlefield, and a war should soon be formed.
Li Guodong personally directed the showdown.
The Qing Dynasty was Erlunqi, the pioneer of Prince Yu Duoduo.
This guy is a tiger general under Duoduo, otherwise he would not have been able to serve as a pioneer officer.
From the Liaodong battlefield to the Guannei battlefield, I almost never failed, so I was very proud and didn't take the Ming army seriously...
