Just when Qianlong was preparing to devour more than 5,000 Ming troops under Yang Yuchun in one go.
The cavalry led by Agui and Hailancha were already fighting against the "mule cavalry" of the Ming army.
Along the north bank of Ganjiang River.
More than a dozen Ming army mule soldiers in red uniforms, with sabers, double-barreled short-fire muskets and cavalry rifled guns (slightly shorter barrels) on their waists, are vigorously urging the war horses under their crotches - if they can be regarded as war horses. .
And behind them.
They were Mongolian cavalry with about thirty riders.
These Mongols are just like their ancestors.
Except that the armor on his body is cowhide armor-this is because the current Mongolian cavalry definitely cannot get iron armor and the like.
The bows in their hands, the horses on their crotches, scimitars, throwing hammers, etc., all make people seem to see the shadow of the invincible iron cavalry that crossed the Eurasian continent.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
A dozen arrows were thrown from the sky.
However, it failed to cause any damage - they were all light arrows, which were exhausted when thrown from the air. The arrows on the horses only broke a little skin. The red military uniforms worn by the Ming army were made of wool and were very thick. It was so hard that the arrow couldn't even penetrate.
But these Mongolian cavalry didn't care either.
This was originally their tactic.
Harass the opponent with light arrows.
Their equestrian skills are also very good. Many of them hold the horse's belly between their legs, hold up the bow and arrow with both hands, and shoot arrows while riding the horse.
But their opponents, the mule cavalry of the Ming Army, did not dare to let go of the reins and just ran forward with their heads covered.
However, their horses were not fast enough and they were about to be overtaken.
Mongolian cavalry have already begun to prepare to switch to heavy arrows and shoot their opponents into a hornet's nest.
In the grass not far away, intensive gunfire suddenly rang out.
Bang bang bang bang!
Thirty Mongolian soldiers on horseback were suddenly attacked. The horses were spinning in panic. After a while, the knights on horseback were all killed by bullets fired from the grass and bushes.
"Well done! Hahahaha!" Please download the app Aiyue app to read the latest content
Luo Dingshan, who not only became a troop leader again, but also gained a promotion, emerged from the bushes.
"Just fight like this! This is how cavalry should be used!"
Luo Dingshan smiled.
If military strategists with traditional European cavalry saw Luo Dingshan using cavalry in this way, they would be furious that he had no chivalry at all. On the contrary, the red-necked militiamen from the North American continent would think that Luo Dingshan was just like them.
Lure the enemy, ambush, and shoot with a black gun.
Luo Dingshan's skills are indeed quite good.
Those equestrian skills and horses are faster than the Ming Army's Dragoon Brigade - the 21st Cavalry Brigade, also nicknamed the Mule Cavalry Brigade by other Ming Army troops, has the best record in the entire army these days.
Taking advantage of the range and accuracy of rifled guns.
This tactic of luring the enemy, ambushing and shooting with a black gun has been tried and tested many times.
If the opponent doesn't chase.
That relies on the range advantage of rifled guns.
The Ming army's mule cavalry could stick to their opponents and fight.
Wait until your opponent can't take it anymore and pursue him...
That's the result now.
"Brigadier, it's time to gather the troops. Now the two old guys Agui and Hailancha should not dare to spill his cavalry."
The speaker was Zeng Ada.
King Ming personally ordered Luo Dingshan to be the commander of the dragoon brigade, responsible for the overall organization and summary of tactics - after all, there was no similar unit before.
And Luo Dingshan was not polite. After all, he didn't want to feed the horses in the stable all the time.
So he came to King Ming's tent, and after being summoned by King Ming, he took office.
The first thing he did was to transfer his capable subordinate Zeng Ada to his subordinates and become the commander of the first battalion.
After some exploration.
Summarized the most suitable tactics for the "mule cavalry" - one is to fly kites, and the other is to shoot black guns.
This is what King Ming described.
It's quite vivid.
"Go get their horses back and attack your mother's mule soldiers. They think I don't want good horses."
Luo Dingshan said cursingly.
He looked at the hot air balloon in the sky, with red, green and blue flags hanging below it.
These are the eyes of his mule soldiers.
"A large group of cavalry is coming, hurry up!"
........
When Agui arrived with his troops, he only saw the corpses of more than thirty Mongolian cavalry, and his face couldn't help but become more gloomy.
The torture he had suffered in the past few days was the most uncomfortable he had ever suffered since leading the army in combat.
The feeling of being beaten completely passively is simply maddening.
Those Ming army cavalry riding Japanese horses or simply mules came up in small teams, and then fired from a distance. What was annoying was that they could hit far and accurately.
When you are chasing, you will easily fall into someone else's circle.
And even more irritating.
They basically move within a few miles of the hot air balloon.
Agui knew that the lookout on the hot air balloon used flags to inform the Ming cavalry within the range of the battlefield situation.
in this case.
Even though the Mongolian soldiers under Agui are good at riding and fast.
He also said it repeatedly.
Moreover, eyes in the sky were watching. As long as Agui's cavalry approached the Ming army's formation, they would encounter the infantry formation that was waiting for them.
Not to mention the Ming army infantry who now have super firepower.
Even in the Han infantry formation hundreds of years ago, no cavalry dared to charge directly.
The strategic intention of using cavalry to contain the main force of the Ming army has now clearly failed.
And what worries Agui even more is...
The role played by the Ming army's mule cavalry.
This group of cavalry does not only ride horses.
There is nothing a cavalry should do.
But the effect is not very good.
Aguilema was now on the same spot, exhaling heavily, and ordered with a livid face: "Send someone to ask the emperor for instructions. Now it is difficult for our cavalry to interfere with the march of the Ming army. It is better to mobilize the troops in one place to avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy." ."
Seeing his subordinates leaving after receiving orders.
Agui sighed.
Said to himself.
"Damn it, it shows that the cavalry is not good. Why do you suddenly have such a mule soldier now?"
If you ride a horse like that, you can have such combat power.
So the Qing Dynasty previously estimated that it could defend the north with its cavalry superiority...
It should be a little dangerous.
.........
Qianlong is now preparing for the first wave of attack on Shengmidu.
The heavy artillery of the Qing army.
Three thousand kilograms of general cannon.
A muzzle-loading smoothbore gun cast from pig iron.
The technology of casting cannons was learned by the Ming Dynasty from the Portuguese more than 200 years ago. However, because Kong Youde rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty obtained this large Western naval gun - also known as the Red Coat at the time ( A casting method for old cannons.
So among the Qing army.
This kind of heavy artillery, which can fire 10 kilograms of solid bullets and shotgun shells, has a very large number of possessions and manufacturing quantities.
After all, this kind of iron cannon made of pig iron, as long as it is properly maintained, can be used from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.
So this time in order to offset the Ming army's firepower advantage.
The Qing army relied on the advantages of river transportation on the Yangtze River.
Thirty general cannons were transported to the front line in one go.
Now it was pulled up in one breath, and the bombardment started outside the range of the Ming army's mortars.
The sound of cannons rumbled and the smoke filled the air.
Visible iron projectiles flew in the air, and most of them hit the parapet of the Ming army's position. However, the destructive power of these solid bullets on the sandbag wall was very limited. Anyway, the Ming army hiding behind the parapet was safe and sound.
However, the Qing army did not expect that this kind of horizontal firepower could cause any damage to the Ming army hiding in the fortifications.
Instead, they just used the general's artillery to suppress fire.
Under the rumble of cannon.
A large number of southern green soldiers used their hands and feet to push a shield cart filled with sandbags forward.
There were more than a hundred shield carts in total, which were large carts with two wheels. The carts were built with a sandbag wall, which seemed to be used to avoid bullets and shell fragments.
Hidden behind these large shield vehicles are small vehicles equipped with small mortars.
Use a shield truck built with sandbags to cover the mortar truck.
This is still very creative.
"Sandbags can effectively reduce the lethality of Ni Ming's artillery shells. Even if the shield truck is lying down, it can also be used as a forward cover for attacking Ni Ming's position. After the mortar fires, Ni Ming can only go out if he can avoid being passively beaten. Fight, so that the coat army can rely on these sandbag carts and Ni Ming to engage in musketry!"
It was Qing army general Fukang'an who came up with this idea.
"When the coat army shoots at each other for a while, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp Tengpai soldiers hiding behind can rush forward, throw a round of small sky thunder bombs, and then rush into the trenches of the Ni Ming army to fight hand-to-hand, using the Tengpai soldiers to deal with Ni Ming's bayonets. , they must be the ones who suffer!"
Fukangan said beside Qianlong.
Qianlong nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes! Even though Ni Ming's guns and artillery are sharp, they are not without weaknesses. As long as we fight flexibly, I don't believe we can't win this battle."
Fukang'an is indeed a general.
The growth rate is very fast.
They all began to think about how to fight positional warfare.
This made use of the deadly force of the southern green camp soldiers, the muskets and mortars in the hands of the coated troops, and the elite courage of the Shaanxi-Gansu green camp.
This arrangement.
It looks like we are really going to win.
...
"What charter is this?"
Yang Yuchun raised his telescope and frowned.
"Brigadier, there's news from the hot air balloon." A subordinate came and handed the note in his hand to Yang Yuchun.
"There's a mortar behind the sandbag truck."
"Want an artillery battle?"
Yang Yuchun didn't know why.
"Use the light howitzer to shoot directly and knock down all their sandbag trucks!"
As Yang Yunchun's order was issued.
A dozen small-caliber front-loading rifled guns had their muzzles flattened.
It is the same as the large-caliber howitzer used by the Ming army.
The artillery shells are no longer the wooden shells they used to be.
It is a steel-cased cannon equipped with a copper ring to facilitate engagement with the rifling.
This kind of artillery shell can use full propellant, and the artillery shell has strong armor-piercing ability!
Boom boom boom!
As the Ming army's artillery opened fire.
The impact of the shells penetrated into the sandbags and exploded, smashing the sandbags filled with soil into pieces. The huge impact also easily broke the wheels of the unreliable carts. These sandbag carts soon collapsed. .
And the exposed southern green camp soldiers were completely exposed to the firepower of the Ming army at this time...
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
