The actual damage caused by six shells was not too great - at least compared to a cavalry of a thousand men, the casualties of about twenty people were not particularly serious.
However, the explosion of artillery shells and the stimulation of the smell of blood made the cavalrymen of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp feel uneasy.
Many horses jumped up on the spot and collided with other horses, causing a backlog.
The roaring continued.
The charging cavalry was in chaos.
"Spread out! Quickly spread out!"
Zha Lang'a yelled hurriedly.
His reaction was quite quick.
Without waiting for the second wave of shells to arrive, he ordered his men to disperse.
The dispersed cavalry were like a torrent separated by a dam, flowing along both sides of the hollow phalanx. At the same time, the knights on the war horses began to draw arrows and shoot arrows towards the Ming army's air force phalanx.
at the same time.
The musketeers of the Hollow Phalanx also began to fight back with their muskets.
Bows and arrows fell from the sky, and most of them landed on the steel helmets of Ming soldiers.
The arrowheads used by the Qing army were made of pig iron and were not strong enough to penetrate the helmets.
But the lead bullets fired by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were fatal.
The Qing cavalry passed by the hollow square formation.
The bows and arrows failed to kill many people, but a large number of knights on horseback fell down, falling to the ground like dumplings along the way.
For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, only the soldiers in the front row were vulnerable to bow and arrow attacks.
However, because the Qing army on horses adopted a projectile tactic, the flight path of the arrows was a parabola, so the arrowheads falling from the sky were blocked by the wide-rimmed helmets of the Ming army.
So this kind of cross-reflection is very asymmetrical.
There are only a few injured here.
There are large areas of people falling to the ground.
"Let the cavalry retreat!"
Lebao's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water.
Simply dispatching cavalry seems to have no effect.
Because of the presence of the sandbag truck behind.
Those large general artillery that could reach the Ming army's hollow phalanx with direct firepower were also unable to work.
Now all that's left is to dispatch the infantry and charge into battle in hand-to-hand combat!
"The governor's supervisor is going to fight! Send out four thousand people, come together!"
Four against one! It will work this time.
"Horizontal team! Horizontal team!"
On the Ming army's side, when they saw the opponent sending out infantry, the frontline commander immediately changed their formation.
The drums beat unhurriedly, and the Ming infantry who changed from the hollow square array to the horizontal array raised their spears and started to move faster and faster.
behind them.
The grenadiers had already been prepared.
"Drop a bomb! Drop a bomb!!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless grenades flew overhead and flew towards the Qing army formation ahead.
Explosions came one after another, and the strict military formation was blown to pieces in an instant, and at this moment.
More than a thousand bayonets suddenly struck.
Phew! Phew!
The bayonet penetrated the human body, and the sound of blood splattering lingered on the battlefield.
"Okay! One thousand against four thousand, easily defeated! The soldiers of the 17th Brigade have been trained!"
Yang Yuchun held up the telescope behind him and smiled.
The next moment, the smile on his face solidified.
After those sandbag carts. Exit the transcoding page, please download the app Aiyue to read the latest chapter.
A series of mortar bombs rose into the sky.
Attacking towards the already somewhat chaotic battle formation.
The violent explosions one after another, accompanied by thick smoke, instantly obscured the battlefield, making Yang Yuchun anxious.
Suddenly encountered shelling.
I don’t know what’s going on?
The sound of these dozens of mortars firing a large amount of explosives filled with black powder was really huge.
Because the quality of the Qing army's gunpowder was not very good.
The power of the explosion was uneven.
But the smoke is quite big.
Suddenly the entire battlefield was filled with choking smoke.
Most of the infantrymen of the 17th Brigade that were bombarded were new recruits.
Suddenly bombarded by artillery shells.
Some people retreated in a hurry, while others fell to the ground.
The battle formation could hardly be maintained on the spot.
If they hadn't already crushed the melee soldiers of the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps before, they would have caused chaos with the Southern Green Camp soldiers behind them.
Now this Ming army infantry is probably going to be wiped out by the regiment.
"Ming Jin retreats! Let the first and second battalions come down to rectify!"
Yang Yuchun was furious.
"Both battalions will receive a major offense!!"
"The reserve team stabilizes the front!"
"The inspection team gathered up the defeated troops and found someone who escaped from the battle. Military law will be engaged!"
Nothing said.
This time there must be many unlucky people who have lost their weapons and have all their beards and tails, and they will be punished by military law.
The military law of the Ming army was quite strict.
They all refer to "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Records".
Although many of the rules about beheading at every turn have been removed.
But it's still quite strict.
...
"Okay! Good fight!"
Qianlong slapped his thigh directly.
In fact, during this period, the Qing army suffered at least thousands of casualties.
There were less than a hundred people on the Ming army's side.
The casualty ratio is quite disparate.
But this was also the first time that the Qing army defeated the Ming army in a battle.
It can be said to be considerable progress.
"Lebao is my loyal minister! He commanded well! You should be rewarded!"
Qianlong was in a good mood.
"Have you seen that the soldiers of the Green Camp and the mortars of the Baoyi Army cooperated with each other, and they were able to make the Ming army scurry! These more than thirty mortars can achieve such results. In the future, our army must pay attention to the flowering We need to create a larger mortar with a longer range!"
"If there are thousands of cannons like this, what kind of enemy cannot be defeated!"
The swap ratio is ugly though.
However, Qianlong still expressed his joy at winning this battle and spoke loudly to encourage the generals.
He Lin on the side had a look of regret at this time.
"What a pity! What a pity. If thousands of cavalry took advantage of the chaos to attack, Ni Ming's more than a thousand infantry would have to be handed over here. It's a pity that these sandbag carts are blocking the way..."
"Without these sandbag trucks, how could our army's mortars be safely transported to a position where they can reach the enemy?" Fukang'an said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, now that all these sandbag trucks are in place, we should send people to guard this antenna and push the battle line as close as possible to Ni Ming's position!"
Rely on the cover formed by these sand shield vehicles lying on the battlefield.
The Qing army was equivalent to launching an offensive position farther away from the Ming army.
Relying on the advantage of military strength.
Under a closer charge, the reaction time of the Ming army's artillery fire will be shorter.
That is to say.
As long as we can fight the Ming army as before and fight a war of attrition.
According to this situation.
It is definitely not impossible to eat these five thousand Ming troops! !
"In addition, we need to let the green battalions of the southern provinces go up to dig and fill trenches. Use the sandbag trucks as a line to dig out a trench, and rely on this trench to launch the attack. We should still follow the same formula, first use the green battalions of the southern provinces to attack, Consume the opponent's ammunition, and then the Ganshan Green Battalion and the Baoyi Army will look for opportunities to fight!"
Fukangan said.
Are you going to fight a war of attrition with the Ming army?
He Lin frowned slightly.
Can the Qing Dynasty win?
"It is possible to at least consume these five thousand Ming troops." Fukangan seemed to know what He Lin was thinking.
I, the Qing Dynasty, need a victory so much.
...
"Well done!"
At this time, as happy as Qianlong was our King Zhu Daming.
He was meeting with Luo Dingshan, the newly appointed commander of the Dragoon Brigade;
Able to achieve today's results despite a hasty army.
Luo Dingshan can indeed be regarded as having made a great contribution.
"Your Majesty, this dragoon brigade was originally formed by drawing the hunters from each brigade. They are all elite soldiers. It is not surprising that they can achieve such results." Luo Dingshan said with a smile.
The two were riding side by side, and Zhu Daohua asked, "How about it? Can such mounted infantry move across the Central Plains?"
This is what Zhu Daohua is most concerned about.
I want to raise thoroughbred horses step by step, and then train and train large-scale cavalry.
Not ten or eight years.
It's really not feasible.
It is impossible for Zhu Daohua to wait ten or eight years before conquering the Central Plains.
The sooner the Eight Banners Group in Manchuria is driven away, the better.
Judging from what Qianlong did in northern Jiangxi.
He really doesn't care about the lives of Han people.
But Zhu Daohua doesn't care. If the civil war ends, hundreds of millions of people will be lost.
That is really a pity.
Therefore, Zhu Daohua will never give Qianlong much time. After the incident in the south, the future Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will definitely be a thunderous blow, driving the Eight Banners of Manchuria out of the Central Plains with lightning speed.
To accomplish this goal.
Without enough cavalry - or troops capable of maneuvering like cavalry - it was unlikely to be possible.
Luo Dingshan's effective use of mounted infantry undoubtedly allowed Zhu Daohua to see another possibility.
"Your Majesty, the key to this mounted infantry is the guy in his hand, who is equipped with a rifled gun and can shoot far and accurately. Only then can the power of the mounted infantry be brought into play. It can be used as a guerrilla and in formations. When scattered, the sky will be filled with stars. Ju is a ball of fire, even if his riding skills are poor, it won't matter, as long as he can run away on horseback, anyway, he doesn't use the tactic of riding into battle."
Luo Dingshan said.
"A large number of mounted infantry is enough to contain or even defeat the enemy's cavalry. Our army will not have to worry about being entangled by the enemy's large cavalry group when it arrives on the battlefield in the Central Plains in the future."
Of course Luo Dingshan had to sell his mule soldiers to King Zhu Daming.
If there is a large-scale increase in the number of mounted infantry in the future.
As the commander of the first mounted infantry brigade, he will definitely be of great use in the future.
Zhu Daohua, on the other hand, is calculating the cost.
If you just want to be able to ride a horse.
The training cost is indeed not high.
Many of today's infantry brigades can be used as mounted infantry brigades with a little training.
And on the equipment.
First is the war horse.
If Japanese horses are used, Japanese horses are not expensive and can be imported on a large scale.
In the future, they can be replaced with better Mongolian horses - and Mongolian horses can be crossed with Japanese horses to form a large-scale horse herd, which can further reduce costs.
Second is firearms.
A rifled gun is required.
Before mass-produced steam engines were developed.
The cost of acquiring a rifled gun was also quite high.
However, now that there are machine tools with steam engines as stable power, the cost of the Ming army's production of muskets and even rifled guns has been greatly reduced, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.
So there is no problem in this regard.
The equipment cost of a mounted infantry is about twice that of an ordinary infantry - the main cost is just the horses.
Gradually a mounted infantry regiment of about 30,000 to 40,000 people was formed.
For Daming now, the pressure is not too great.
Especially after completely controlling the south, the new Ming Dynasty will have the world's largest tea, silk, and porcelain production base.
These are traditional China’s top export products.
In addition, Guangdong factories are expanding into new industrial chains such as cotton textiles, pharmaceuticals, sugar, and steel.
By then, Ming Dynasty will rely on these "high-tech" industrial chains to gain more wealth.
At this moment, a horse came on horseback.
"Report! 17th Brigade battle report!"
Zhu Daohua opened it and took a look.
His brows furrowed.
"Have you been losing for a while? What does Yang Yuchun do for food!"
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.
