Zhou Yuji felt that there was no need to stand around and be beaten like this. Regardless of whether he was shot or not, it was not good for morale, so he simply blew the trumpet and moved forward.
When Li Yongfang saw the other party, he was only briefly panicked under the fire from his side's heavy rifle bow, and then regained his composure.
He was very surprised, and the bow and arrow on his side had no effect.
He panicked.
Their stomachs are far different from those of their opponents, so they will definitely suffer in a fight.
Moreover, the militiamen on the opposite side all looked very tall and strong. Physically it's also very good.
Although the famine has been severe in the past two years, Yang Fan's domestic slaves and households have all been allocated irrigated land, which ensures harvests despite droughts and floods, as well as high-quality seeds. There is enough for everyone.
There are also frozen fat pork for sale in the store. There was enough grain, as well as fatty pork, and the caloric intake far exceeded that of anyone in this era. Vegetable seeds are also delivered in large quantities, and there are even mulched greenhouses for growing off-season vegetables. Balanced nutritional intake.
After all, the Eight Banners Han Army were all surrendered Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, although the local Han people in Liaodong were stronger than the Han people in Guannei.
However, during the three years of famine, their treatment was definitely not as good as that of the slaves. They did not eat well and were very thin. Han soldiers also had many unique corruptions and bad habits, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Jian slaves.
In later generations, the decay of the Eight Banners began with the Han military flag. They brought with them all the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty.
Both Kangxi and Yongzheng angrily rebuked the Han Banners for their indolence, slickness, corruption, harming good people, exploiting local areas, and opportunism, which led to the destruction of both the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
Their fighting will is also far inferior to that of Jiannu.
Li Yongfang saw that the militiamen leveled the Swiss halberd with a brush. The ten-foot-long halberd was leveled, and they all walked forward in unison, ignoring the rain of arrows, and came in unison.
Every step up and down is uniform, and the sound of footsteps shakes the earth. The footsteps were like drums beating against the earth.
The unified steps of more than 10,000 people made even the earth tremble slightly.
Woo! The horns of the Han army flags were also blown immediately.
In front of the Han army flag were three thousand heavy armored infantry. They immediately picked up their weapons and walked forward.
As the teams on both sides approached, the rear team of the Han Army Banner stopped firing bows and arrows.
After all, under the heavy bows and arrows, the cloth-faced armor worn by their own heavy-armored infantry couldn't block the backs. It's easy to shoot your own people to death.
At this time, Yang Fan had already begun to put on his clothes and mount his horse.
After all, if there was a fight with Zhenglan Qi later, he would personally lead the charge into battle. Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru also mounted their horses in armor, one on the left and one on the right, protecting Yang Fan.
Yang Fan, Xiao Niangpi, Lin Yueru, and the five hundred cavalrymen all wore bulletproof vests on the inside and aluminum alloy armor on the outside. Riding on a tall and majestic Don horse. The horses are all covered with stab-proof fabric riding clothes and have steel armor on their heads.
The soldiers are all selected strong soldiers who are over 1.8 meters tall. This group of people looks very impressive.
Yang Fan never understood the equipment of Jiannu's heavy armored infantry. This is the first time to observe on the battlefield.
The equipment of the Eight Banners infantry was formed fifteen years ago.
In the eighth year of Tianming (1623), Nurhachi reformed the establishment. Determine weapons, equipment and team tactics. He stipulates:
Each Niulu sent out a hundred armored soldiers, including ten men named Baiyala, carrying two cannons and three spears.
Then divide the ninety armored soldiers.
The forty armored soldiers were red bagaras, carrying ten cannons, twenty spears, ten men, two shield chariots, and two kettles.
There are fifty men in the black camp, carrying ten cannons, twenty lances, and twenty men carrying two shield carts, one ladder, two chisels, two adzes, two fishhooks, two sickles, and two axes. , four mat collars, two forks, a stick with a clamp, two kettles, charcoal for one month, and fifteen pairs of cotton armor.
Each armor carries two cannons.
It can be seen that Jiannu has never been a pure cold weapon army. They have been equipped with a large number of firearms from the beginning.
The translation of this passage is that a cow recruits 300 people and selects 100 of them. Then from these 100 people, ten white bagaras were selected, with two cannons and three muskets, leaving 90 people, 40 of which were red bagaras, with ten cannons, 20 muskets, and two more Shield car. In other words, a Niulu has 12 artillery pieces, more than 20 muskets, and the equipment rate of light firearms is less than 10%.
This is the level of the Eight Banners infantry. So what weapons were equipped by the Han soldiers who established slaves?
The Khan's edict said: "If the Han officials are in charge of 4,000 people, they will use 200 people as soldiers. The 100 soldiers will be equipped with ten cannons and 80 long muskets. The other hundred soldiers will be at your disposal."
Nurhaci stipulated that Han officials who were in charge of 4,000 Han people must select 200 people from among his subjects to serve as soldiers.
Among them, 100 soldiers were equipped with firearms and formed a separate team. They were equipped with ten cannons and 80 muskets. One hundred people were equipped with cold weapons to fight.
From the analysis of the article, this so-called long gun should be an individual firearm and a fire door gun.
Soon after, the Khan sent a letter saying: "With three guerrillas in each banner, one guerrilla will prepare a cannon at the flag. Each cannon is equipped with two horses and is entrusted with management. Among the remaining people, select those who are strong enough to wear bows and order them to Wear a bow. Those who cannot wear a bow are ordered to carry three-hole cannons and blunderbuss."
This passage makes the principles of building an army of slaves very clear. Those who are strong, able to fight, and good at using bows and arrows are organized into troops with cold weapons and used to charge into battle.
As for those soldiers who are weak and lack fighting ability, they are equipped with firearms.
The physical fitness of the Han army was obviously not as good as that of the Eight Banners. Therefore, the firearm equipment rate of the Eight Banners was less than 10%, but half of the Han army was equipped with firearms.
Yang Fan has always been confused about what Jiannu's firearms and cannons are.
This time I saw everything clearly. The long gun is a magic gun. The so-called three-hole cannon is a three-eyed firecracker. The muskets are all muskets.
Those cannons and cannons are amazing things.
Yang Fan was riding on a horse, at the highest point of the camp, and could see everything clearly with a telescope.
Li Yongfang and others stood on a small mound in the middle of the army on horseback, commanding from the center.
The first phalanx of the Han Army Flag is a heavy armored infantry phalanx of 3,000 men. This part involves fighting the militia right away.
Three thousand heavy armored infantry, followed by three thousand people armed with three-eyed blunderbuss, magic guns and other firearms. Yang Fan could see clearly through the telescope that these firearms were clearly the standard equipment of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army. It should be that these people surrendered and were brought over by Jian Nu, or they were captured by Jian Nu in previous battles.
Further back, there are three military formations in the shape of a Chinese character. Each military formation is composed of three thousand people. These teams are equipped with cold weapons. The weapons are quite chaotic, including spears, long swords, and three-pronged forks (the Ming army also equipped them in large quantities, which were used to block the opponent's weapons when the infantry unit was defending.). The most commonly used weapons were long knives. This kind of knife is one meter three to four meters long. Use with both hands. The waist knife is the kind of clearing knife that is commonly seen in TV and movies.
In front of these three Z-shaped military formations, there are artillery arrays.
Seeing these artillery pieces, Yang Fan's eyes narrowed.
