Hundreds of Rumi guns are firing together! And it's not just a blind fight with your eyes closed, because the ones who shoot the muskets are all young soldiers trained by Zhu Youjian - they all have real skills!
And the Rumi guns they use are also good things passed down from their ancestors! After the Battle of Saarhu, Emperor Wanli ordered the Military Affairs Bureau of the Twenty-Four Yamen to hire good craftsmen and use the secret method left by Zhao Shizhen, who died of illness in the 39th year of Wanli. Because the manufacturing process of Lumi guns was complicated and the yield rate was low, not many were produced until the death of Emperor Wanli, only a few hundred in total.
And these hundreds of Lumi guns were of no use. Before Chongzhen came to power, it had been thrown into the warehouse of the Military War Bureau. In the original history, Zhu Youjian sent all these muskets to the Yongwei camp, and then nothing happened, and they didn't seem to be of much use.
This time, Zhu Youjian, who was "on duty" again, became more capable and knew how to use these Turkish matchlock guns. The projectile weight of the Turkish matchlock is smaller than that of the Spanish matchlock, but larger than that of the Japanese blunderbuss, and its shooting accuracy is higher than that of the Spanish muskets and Japanese blunderbuss. It is most suitable for shooting black guns.
The first batch of black spearmen to use these "Turkish black guns" were all young soldiers trained by Zhu Youjian himself - these young people were educated, literate and had strong learning abilities. Under his personal guidance, he mastered the art of shooting black guns within a few months.
I can’t say that I can penetrate a Yang at a hundred steps, but I’m pretty sure I can penetrate a horse at forty steps. If the target is wearing heavy armor, like the Eight Banners’ white-armored soldiers, it will be a bit difficult to fight. Fortunately, the armored cavalry inserted into the Han tribe did not have such reliable protection, so there was still a high probability of killing these armored soldiers.
After a burst of crackling gunfire, about twenty armored cavalrymen who had invaded the Han troops were brought down, including Gui Yingcha who was at the forefront. The one who killed him was Zhu Youjian, the most powerful warrior in the Ming Dynasty and the best martial arts hero in the world! The bullet penetrated his head directly, and he lost his life before he even had time to scream.
This wave of shooting knocked down more than twenty people, which was actually not too many, but the remaining Mongolian iron warriors were frightened by this sudden black gun!
None of them saw where the person who fired the black gun was... So many warriors were gone, and among them there seemed to be Gui Yingcha, the first warrior in Mongolia!
Such a powerful warrior is gone!
This is too scary, it’s better to run for your life!
In fact, the Mongolian warriors these days are not very brave anymore... More than 200 Mongolian warriors reined in their horses, then turned their horses around, and the charging formation was suddenly in chaos.
This is the opportunity for the cavalry in front of the tent to launch an assault!
Zhu Youjian brought out more than 700 people this time, 100 of whom were his "black gun soldiers." There are also 500 people who belong to the first battalion of the first regiment of the pro-insurgents in front of the tent, led by Sun Chuanting and Hu Dawei. There are more than a hundred people who are Mangui's servants, and they are following Zhu Youjian, waiting for the Mongols to come in and rescue him.
However, Mangui has no chance to save the enemy, because this term of Long Live the Ming Dynasty uses troops like a god!
In addition to more than 100 black guns, he also has ruthless moves! Just when the Mongolian cavalry was in chaos, Sun Chuanting and Hu Dawei each led 200 cavalry, came out from behind the deserted village, and began to attack... Both parts of the cavalry formed two rows of assault teams. shape. There were a total of four rows of cavalry, each with a spear in hand, and the team was quite dense, almost shoulder to shoulder. Like four walls of knights, one after another, they rolled over the chaotic Mongolian cavalry.
It is difficult for the lancers who rush into the wall to attack the dense lancer formation of the infantry, but to attack the loose cavalry team, it is accurate with one charge.
Moreover, these four rows of cavalry only charge, do not fight, and leave immediately after charging, so as not to hinder the next wave of charge. However, they will not go far, but will quickly form a team outside the optimal impact distance, and then attack again - if one wave cannot defeat the enemy, then charge in two or three waves until they are overwhelmed!
At the same time, more than a hundred light cavalry led by Li Zicheng (they also had armor, but not wearing armor) were divided into groups of five, chasing the Mongolian iron cavalry who fled alone. Among these five cavalry, two held spears and three held bows. They cooperated with each other. The ones with bows shot horses, and the ones with spears stabbed people... No one was left alive! This is too cruel!
Seeing the emperor's servants' light cavalry, armored cavalry, and black spears working together to skillfully use the terrain to lure the enemy, set up ambushes, counterattack, chase and other combat operations, Man Gui, who has been in the war for a long time, could not believe his eyes. Not to mention his servants, even Li Chengliang's servants couldn't produce this kind of cooperation in their heyday!
The servant is just a person who has superb martial arts skills and is not afraid of death. He can set up a "two walls" or "three walls" horizontal formation and charge on horseback (after the charge, there will be a hand-to-hand fight, and people will be cut off!), Even an invincible elite soldier.
And the emperor's servant in front of him...how could he fight like this?
How is this trained, organized, and directed?
Of course Mangui couldn’t understand! Zhu Youjian was training his servants using the methods found in the cavalry science textbooks at the Nanjing Military Academy. Moreover, only two battalions (and one battalion belonging to Lu Xiangsheng's second regiment) and his young soldiers were actually trained. The remaining battalions can only use light cavalry to lure the enemy and cooperate with the three-wall tactics.
Just when Man Gui was stunned, Zhu Youjian shouted again: "Quick, quick, put away the Rumi guns... Go and get the horses, let's seize the ford across the river! Mangui, are you coming?"
What? Are you going to grab the ford across the river?
Man Gui was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted, "Long live the sword, the sword has no eyes, just accept it when you see fit..."
Zhu Youjian's eyes widened: "It's dangerous... Now is the time to pursue the victory. If we don't control the ford across the river now, the Tatars will attack first. How many more people will we have to die?"
"But we only have more than a thousand people in total..." Man Gui reminded in a low voice.
Zhu Youjian glared at him again: "If you don't have enough people, why don't you mobilize troops? Fighting opportunities are fleeting...can't be missed!"
"But it's getting late now..."
"It's dark and it's time to fight at night! The soldiers in front of the tent are not afraid of night fighting!" As he said this, Zhu Youjian said to his left and right: "Pass on my word and order Lu Xiangsheng to quickly lead the third and fourth battalions to come for support!"
Then he loudly ordered Man Gui, "Man Gui, you quickly mobilize thousands of infantry, bring more horses, spears, three-eyed blunderbuss, and some general cannons, tiger squat cannons and leather drums. There must be no mistakes!" "
Zhu Youjian really felt like a famous general, and was going to take advantage of the opportunity before the Mongols could react to control the shoal crossing the river and establish a beachhead. If you still have the energy left, then harass the Mongols hard so that they won't even sleep tonight!
After giving the instructions, Zhu Youjian ignored Mangui and got on the horse that Hei Wentao had brought for him. He then headed forward again with more than a hundred soldiers.
Mangui had no choice but to ask a group of servants to bring their own orders to mobilize Zhenbiao and servants to come for reinforcements, and then led the servants around him to protect Zhu Youjian.
At this time, the first battalion of Emperor's servants commanded by Sun Chuanting and Hu Dawei had almost finished their turn in charging into the formation. When Sun Chuanting saw the young emperor moving towards the bank of Yuhe River, he immediately withdrew his troops and asked Hu Dawei and Li Zicheng to lead people to clean up the battlefield. He led his team to Zhu Youjian's side, and hundreds of armored cavalry headed towards the river in a mighty manner.
Along the way, many of the rangers and soldiers that Mangui had sent out followed them. By the time they drove a small number of Mongolians to the edge of the river beach, almost a thousand people had gathered.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and on the other side of the Yu River, there were only one or two thousand Mongolian nomadic soldiers guarding it, and no fortifications had been built.
"Your Majesty," Mangui already knew where the Yuhe River was shallow, so he said, "You can ford it here, and the water is up to your waist deep."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said to Man Gui who was following him: "General Man Town, let's see how I kill the enemy!"
How dare Man Gui put Zhu Youjian in danger, so he quickly took the initiative to ask for a fight, "Your Majesty, please bring your servants up!"
Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "If your people are not good...it's up to me!" Then he roared, "Sun Chuanting, Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao! I order you to lead 500 troops and dismount to form a party. Formation, ford the Yu River!"
What? Dismount and form a phalanx? Mangui was shocked again. If you have a horse but don't ride, dismount and form a foot formation, defeat the horse with foot... Is there such a way of fighting in the world? What kind of method does this long live master have?
