Mystery Makes Me Strong - Chapter 2121
The left and right wings also took the opportunity to move forward quickly in a diagonal line.
And in the brisk walk, the queue is also being maintained.
This is the benefit of regular training.
Although the soldiers were still afraid, the sticks of the officers forced them to move forward according to their instincts.
“Change to heavy arrows!”
The white-armored soldiers quickly changed their heavy arrows, and they seized the time to shoot another round.
Suddenly, another group of people turned their backs on their backs.
In the front and middle of the team facing the enemy head-on, 150 people were killed, and more than 60 people were killed. The sum of the front and back far exceeded their upper limit, and they collapsed directly, turned around and ran away.
And at this time, the left and right wings. Four teams have reached the range.
Fire again.
Bai Jia fell three more people.
It was all bad luck and hit the head.
More than 50 ordinary bannermen fell down.
Finally, when the two sides were about to encircle and come up, the white armors continued to insist, and let the 70 cavalry start to step forward and try to break up the teams on both sides to welcome them to retreat.
The cavalry did not charge directly before, but were ready to respond.
Relying on the charge of the cavalry, the infantry squads on both sides had to stop the encirclement.
Instead, prepare for a counterattack.
The cavalry also quickly threw light arrows with their bows, and then turned.
Of course, they also ate a round of muskets and suffered heavy losses.
The cavalry team began to flee quickly. After they received some infantry, they discovered that the opponent’s muskets were too difficult to deal with this time.
Because they are completely different from those beggar Mingjun who threw their guns and fled immediately after a round.
These red-haired men are indeed savage, even though they collapsed a team with heavy arrows just now,
Nearly a hundred people were shot dead.
It can be said that it has not lived up to the prestige of white armor and strong bows and heavy arrows in this era.
The Westerners of this era were not yet capable of conquering feudal forces with a large number of manpower such as the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Because even if they don’t use muskets, they can use bows and arrows to rely on a large number of archers to defeat musketeers who can only throw a small amount of troops.
However, combined with the bastion tactics, it still has a big advantage, just like He Hongmao, with 2,000 people, was able to persist for ten months under the siege of Zheng Chenggong’s 20,000 people.
But now like this, Yi Zijia is sent in teams one by one.
They use the Western training method, and the training is a standard template of line soldiers.
At least 20% must die, that is to say, two out of 10 people will die before they collapse.
However, this is only theoretical, and there is a big difference between actual war and theory.
A real war is not a game. Everyone is a group. The output damages the opponent’s 20% at once, and then the whole group is overwhelmed and collapsed.
Not at all!
In reality there are overall casualty ratios and local casualty ratios.
One squad was defeated and scattered, and another squad, urged by the officers and the supervising team, moved forward to take over the opponent’s line.
This is real war.
As long as the team is well-trained, the generals will not be dispatched all at once.
Then 10% die and it’s all over.
What they did was the peasant army at the beginning of the uprising. They swarmed everything, and then 10% of the front died, and the people in the front retreated, driving the people behind to flee together.
It’s like the former Qin attacking the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As a result, when the people in front shouted to retreat, all the people behind ran away. It’s ridiculous.
The emperor’s guards couldn’t hold back.
All well-trained troops are actually sent to fight one by one.
Some teams may receive all the output in an instant, just like the team that faced the assault of the white armored soldiers just now, the casualty rate reached 80% in just a few minutes.
This team was naturally the most unlucky, and then completely collapsed, and many officers died.
Yet the other squads are still intact.
Like the left and right squads, and the left and right wing squads, they are all complete.
Still taking the opportunity to launch an attack, and enter the effective range to launch the output.
On average, 150 people were killed and injured in an instant, and the total number of 1,500 people seemed to be 10% dead. It is said that 80% of the feudal teams would collapse with this kind of casualty rate.
In fact, only one team was completely wiped out, and those who broke up were guided to the rear by the supervising team for correction.
Can’t run around.
Especially other squads that absolutely cannot attack the complete.
In this case, whoever attacks, the officers and military law team of that team will definitely kill people.
In normal training, there is also this kind of training.
How to find cover after breaking up and how to regroup the team.
Seeing them break up, the other teams, under the suppression of the officers and the usual training, envied them for being able to escape, but they themselves could not escape.
Moreover, the other party took the damage and output on their behalf, so they should live up to the other party’s efforts.
Instead of learning from the other party and fleeing together.
But the Ming army is not like this.
The Ming army was a group of beggar battalion soldiers.
Most generals only pay attention to family members and cronies who can be taken away with the change of their positions, and they don’t pay much attention to those battalions who belong to the court and cannot be taken away.
When it comes to battle, it is to put the beggar battalion in front, consume a wave of enemies, and then see the enemy’s weakness, it is the general to lead the family to charge.
If the opponent is weak, it can be solved, such as fighting the Mongols.
But when encountering a well-organized Jurchen, it is courting death.
Just like the theory, if the opponent defeats 10% of the Beggar Battalion, it will collapse on a large scale.
Even if a few servants charged, they would still be surrounded by the opponent’s superior forces.
It seems that every battle is 150,000 against 70,000.
It seems to have more than 2 times the advantage, but in fact, there are more than 2,000 or more than 1,000 generals each, and each time they deal with more than 20,000 elite armored men alone.
Then besieged to death by the opponent.
On the surface, it seems that these general soldiers still have a large number of 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
Therefore, behind every tragic defeat, there are fatal factors with absolute disadvantages.
If the teams are evenly matched, there is a high probability that the winning side will win miserably, and there will be no crisp defeat.
The winning side will also have considerable losses.
This is the disadvantage of the feudal court using literature to control military: if you want to restrain generals, civil servants can play tricks, but the problem is that everyone is not a fool, if you play with me, I will play with you.
If you send me to other places to fight casually, then I have to bring cronies with me. Without cronies, how can I command a strange army?
This is not a modern team, everyone trains with a highly unified template.
For a military chief, he can quickly adapt and issue military orders proficiently, so that the troops can obey his command and complete various tactical and strategic tasks.
The feudal team is completely different.
Lack of training, soldiers are not familiar with the officer, so they will not follow his orders.
Therefore, he must have cronies and servants to serve as military judges to drive out the lower-level soldiers to obey orders.
Otherwise, the imperial court will be like the Song Dynasty, soldiers do not know generals, and generals do not know soldiers.
Wen Rensheng felt much better in this way now, and the advantage was that the few teams that collapsed would not affect the overall situation.
And it can quickly form a team and quickly recover the collapsed soldiers.
Then go into battle again.
In this way, a high battle loss ratio can be guaranteed before it collapses.
Yes, the first 10% to 15% losses will collapse, but the latter maintain morale, gather the defeated army, recover, and fight again hours, or days later.
In this way, in the final calculation, the loss may exceed 50% before the combat effectiveness is completely lost.
And now, that broken team has been diverted to the back.
The other squads remained intact. Under the leadership of the officers, they were still marching towards the enemy with a numb and rigid movement, thanks to their gratitude, fear, and fear of the whip.
After entering the range, the four tactical actions of raising the gun, aiming, shooting, and loading began to be repeated.
They continued to outflank the Jurched soldiers.
And the Jurchen soldiers kept shooting.
Each shot can cause considerable casualties.
It’s just that there are too few of them.
In order to maximize the damage, the fastest way to defeat the opponent is to focus on shooting a team.
And at this time, the side fire will come.
The 300 Jurchens were injured and died, most of them were injured, and there were more than 180 people.
This is the power of a musket volley against a dense crowd.
The Jurchen cavalry had abandoned the infantry and began to retreat.
And the white armored soldiers were already running ahead.
In fact, in normal times, they chose to step back, kill the Ming army, and cover the retreat of the infantry.
But now, they have discovered that the opponent’s Musketeers have been besieged on three sides. At this time, if they don’t run away, it may result in a one-for-one ending.
They shoot a musketeer and take three or four bullets themselves.
Everyone is getting closer and closer.
Already two or three white armors were hit in the chest and died of broken armor.
They also discovered that the arquebus used by the opponent was much better than Daming’s blunderbuss.
It will not explode, and its power is stable.
“Damn it, our numbers are still too small!” Donagu retreated unwillingly.
If he is given the same troops, even 500, 700 troops, he is absolutely confident that he can defeat the opponent’s 1,500 troops.
And wipe out the opponent completely.
Now he has 300 people, and he has shot and wounded more than 400 people in the opponent, and shot and collapsed 3 teams.
But the opponent has ten teams.
The opponent brought up the reserve team again, replacing the three collapsed teams.
And his soldiers were already slow to shoot arrows.
Strength declines.
If you shoot 8 arrows at a time, you have to rest for a long time.
Only one team can be dealt a crushing blow at a time, but other teams will take the opportunity to output.
Facts have proved that this squad tactic is very good.
In fact, this is not an advanced tactic.
It is something that any well-trained team must do.
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they fought in formations, divided into square formations, queues, front and back, left and right armies to fight.
When watching the movie of the line of soldiers, it is always a phalanx and a phalanx.
One is to facilitate deployment, and the other is to facilitate rotation.
The third is similar to playing games. Some people are unlucky and are responsible for absorbing damage, while the other battalion has better luck or a better position, and they are responsible for firepower output.
There is no fairness on the battlefield.
For example, artillery is often in a relatively safe rear.
And in case of danger, you can take the lead in running away.
Usually not executed by beheading.
Because artillerymen are technicians.
For an excellent artillery officer, they often need to learn trigonometry and experience.
And accurate artillery is even more precious.
You may not be able to practice one in more than ten years.
And their power is also very great.
If it is shot accurately, it may be possible to gain a considerable local combat advantage with one shot, tilting the balance of victory in the battle.
It can be said that artillery, in many current small-scale battles, if they are lucky and skilled, they can gain great tactical advantages.
They may not affect the strategic victory or defeat, but they can definitely affect the outcome of a battle or a small battle.
Another reason for the Jurchens to retreat now is that they have seen the opponent’s artillery being pulled over by horses.
It can be said that they are relatively smart.
If they insist on not retreating, it will be difficult for them to run after the opponent’s artillery comes over. Only the cavalry can run away, and the infantry will collapse if they are bombarded.
And the broken people cannot outrun the pursuers.
Because you are under panic, your physical strength will be exhausted quickly.
At the beginning, it seems that you have pulled out the distance, but after the pursuers take turns chasing you, you will soon exhaust your energy, and after a day or two, you will be chased by the opponent, searched out and killed.
This reflects the benefits of being familiar with the terrain.
Familiar with the terrain, you can easily escape to places that others don’t know, such as mountains and caves.
Let the other side be in vain.
If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to escape to a dead end, such as a river, a cliff, or the foot of a mountain.
Now after some escape.
Donagu and Ugzhen re-camped 50 miles away to gather deserters.
After more than an hour, they formed a team.
There are 21 white armor soldiers left.
Still white armor is reliable.
There were 50 cavalry left.
More than 30 infantry regrouped.
More people should have fled.
They are all the kind of guys who are physically strong, eat well and run fast.
Of the last 300 people, there were only 100 left.
It can be said that this number is very good compared to the Ming army.
After all, they are at an absolute disadvantage with 300 people facing 1,500 people.
Fortunately, they had strong bows and arrows, excellent armor, and retreated in time, so that the opponent’s artillery could not keep up.
This is also because the opponent does not have enough horses. If there are more horses and the artillery carriages are improved, their infantry may not be able to outrun the artillery.
Wu Gezhen and Donagu couldn’t help but feel that the fight this time was too worthwhile.
Although they lost nearly 200 people, they must be severely held accountable.
But they tried out the opponent’s depth, and had a deep understanding of the opponent’s weapons, morale, lineup, and the level of the generals.
This is very valuable, very important military information.
They believed that the Great Khan would whip them 20 lashes at most, and would never behead them.
And if they run away directly in front of the battle.
Maybe they can bring back 280 people and only lose about 20 unlucky ghosts.
But they will definitely be beheaded, or directly turned into dead soldiers.
Before each battle, the stragglers wandering at the front of the formation were usually barbaric Jurchens, used to disrupt the formation of the Ming army.
“We must report to the Great Khan immediately. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com had better send ten people to report quickly.”
“But the Great Khan is fighting in the pass.”
Donagu and Wu Gezhen were talking to each other.
“First report to Erbeile, and then at the same time inform Great Khan.”
“it is good.”
Soon the two separated.
Donagu led half of the team and all the white armor back to the city to organize defense.
And Wu Gezhen led all the cavalry to inform the Khan in the pass overnight.
They are very talented, and they understand that this new team must let Dahan know as soon as possible, so as to gather manpower to the greatest extent and defeat them.
