MTL - Mystery Makes Me Strong-Chapter 2118 before the war

At this time, the giant shield soldiers have been advancing.

They began to attack the enemy's gate.

Soon they were at the door.

At this time, several old Jurchens started shooting.

Then they were all blocked by shields.

The musketeers also shot through the shooting holes on the shield in time.

A row of bullets passed by, and the elderly Jurchen soldier who was trying to shoot fell down.

In fact, this method of warfare is similar to the car camp.

However, there has not been such a large-scale emergence of such arms in history.

Obviously it has great disadvantages.

One of the disadvantages is that the mobility is too poor.

The second disadvantage is that the cost is too high.

You have to get a shield, and you have to get a stomach.

For Westerners, their manpower at this time is very cheap.

Those mercenaries are all guys who can't eat.

The death rate among sailors was as high as 75%.

How did the average sailor get here?

When I arrived at the port, I invited people to drink, got drunk, and tied them to the ship.

Therefore, it is common for a rebellion to occur on board and a loss of life.

The same is true for mercenaries. The reason why musketeers appeared in large numbers to replace archers is because they took shape after three months of training with whips and sticks.

Going to the battlefield means doing what the officer tells you to do.

Rely on sticks to become a conditioned reflex.

Feudal archers cannot be trained in this way, it takes at least 3 years, and it takes 3 years to make a bow.

When the Jurchen veterans were beaten to death.

Several other old, weak, sick and disabled Jurchens also started to flee.

In fact, the Jurchens are of course also afraid of death.

In this case, they had already resisted, and they would not be beheaded if they fled.

They can escape in the name of reporting.

But if you run without resistance, you will definitely be beheaded.

This is the cruel military law of the Jurchens.

Of course, if the Eight Banners dignitaries lead the team and find that the opponent is strong enough, they can also retreat before the battle.

Not a problem.

There is still a difference between the master's life and the slave's life.

Those few old, weak, sick and disabled rode desperately on horses and mules, trying to escape through the back door of Zhuangzi.

However, they did not escape very far, because the exit of Empress Zhuang had long been blocked by people from outside.

There was another volley of guns, and these men fell.

A few horses also fell down, which made them feel distressed.

After all, these horses are very precious, and it is too expensive to transport them over long distances. It is best to replenish them locally.

The necessary condition for a scout in this era is to have a horse.

You can't be a scout without a horse.

As the Jurchens were killed, the remaining coated minions soon began to surrender.

There were a few coats who surrendered, and there was obviously active hatred in their eyes, and they took the initiative to lead the way.

With their help, the army found the grain and grass in Zhuangzi to supplement.

There are also three wells for supplementing fresh water.

Because they came so fast, the Zhuangzi's people didn't have time to destroy the grain and water wells.

This provides some convenience for the army to advance.

After searching for food and grass, Zhuangzi was burned, and the packers were escorted to the rear.

The men breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Jurchens did this, they would definitely kill the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, leaving only the young and strong.

At most one-third of the remaining people, if anyone dares to resist, it is normal to kill them all in the era of Lao Khan.

At this time, Huang Taiji didn't often kill them all, but he would also be captured as slaves.

Huang Taiji is not kind, but knows how to use human resources better.

These coatings will be sent to some uninhabited islands along the road for reclamation and maintenance of supply points.

Especially if you want to raise horses on nearby islands, the long-distance transportation is too expensive.

A horse may be jolted for ten days without dying, but it will die after being jolted for 15 consecutive days.

If there is an island in the middle that can provide transit, turning 15 days into two periods, and the horse rests on the middle island for three days or half a month, then the transfer will be successful.

These coats are valuable human resources.

They were captives anyway, and no one considered their wishes.

It would be nice not to kill you, but to stutter and keep you alive. What else do you want?

Wen Rensheng can't use the advanced concept that everyone is equal.

He can only rely on the strength of the crowd and use the ideas and technologies already in this period to achieve his goals.

Then came the second Zhuangzi, the third Zhuangzi, and the fourth Zhuangzi, all the way like a broken bamboo.

With their huge force of 7,000, entering the bandits at this time obviously caught the Jurchens by surprise strategically.

You must know that Mao Wenlong was dead at this time, and Dongjiang's people were in chaos, so he didn't play a restraining role at all.

And the Jurchens also confidently and boldly chose to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

But Wen Rensheng understands that if that player Huang Taiji can also see his progress, then he will leave enough defensive troops.

If the other party can't see their own progress, then their own side has a great advantage.

From the current point of view, the other party seems to be invisible.

Probably because the one who was betting against him was the Golden Armored God, a mere player, just a pawn, and a **** was not entitled to see the chess player.

It's easy to verify.

At this time, Wen Rensheng saw Huang Taiji under a yellow umbrella, commanding the siege in the distance of a city.

After watching it for a while, he understood that the other party wanted to build a logistics supply point.

A long-distance attack also requires a foothold.

Otherwise, what about the wounded soldiers?

Without a rear recuperation, a minor injury would turn into a serious injury, and a serious injury would directly lead to death.

For the Jurchens, the wounded soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han and Mongolia can be abandoned, but the wounded soldiers of their own clan cannot be abandoned unless the situation is critical.

Even with serious injuries, relying on a strong physique and rich nutrition, there is still a one-to-two chance of surviving.

Or three or five out of a hundred can survive.

If it is a minor injury, seven or eight out of ten can survive.

The premise is to recuperate in one place.

But at this time, the city could no longer support it.

There are no red cannons here, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty captured the city after paying a certain amount of casualties.

Then there is the massacre of the city, which is the tradition of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Those who resist will inevitably massacre the city, without exception.

It can be said that they are the lower limit of the team in history.

Only leave some young and strong as coats, reduce the pressure on logistics, and promote some heavy soldiers.

Relying on this layer upon layer of oppression, the morale of the soldiers of the Eight Banners was once again boosted.

The Han Eight Banners and the Baoyi who broke the city were compensated. Although the Man Eight Banners accounted for most of the spoils in the end, they still got some slaves and property, which greatly improved the morale that had been reduced due to heavy losses.

In terms of distinguishing rewards and punishments, Jurchen beat Daming by ten streets.

Daming was capable of annihilating all the Qi family's troops who were begging for military pay. With this in mind, there is nothing to say about their annihilation.

The Manchus did not do this until the end. It can be seen that the Manchus have always understood the importance of force, but they have never understood the importance of ideas, and have always treated others as slaves and slaves...In the end, they died of ideas and were established by themselves. The new army was overthrown.

Huang Taiji was obviously very happy.

When the city was full of blood and blood, a banquet was held to entertain the warriors who broke the city, and a few of them were humbled and promoted to the flag on the spot.

Under such circumstances, those coats forgot the oppression they had suffered and the hatred they had with the Jurchens, and turned around and became converts.

From here, Wen Rensheng knew that if Huang Taiji knew that he had sent troops to the north, he would not be so happy.

And when his team set out from the temporary port and went 200 miles deep, they finally encountered danger.

Jurched cavalry began to appear.

At first they were in groups of three or five, and later there were more than ten or twenty.

They rode on horses, or even stood on horses, looking at the army from afar.

That pair of bear-like eyes stared at this team.

It's full of hate.

They began strangling the northern army's scouts from time to time.

Obviously, the scouts of the army going north must not be able to do this kind of strangulation.

They have never fought land battles, they have always been at sea.

Fortunately, they also have advantages, that is, they have binoculars and a better stomach.

If you can't beat it, you can escape.

If the opponent chases, attack the opponent's horse with a short-fired gun.

Those bullets are very powerful, but if you rely on horses to chase them, you can't use a powerful step bow, and the power of riding a bow is too small.

It can't break the chain mail of cavalry and the leather armor of horses.

But enough to drive away these scouts.

The scouts quickly returned to the army.

This time, the trouble will be big.

If the scouts can't beat the opponent, it means that the battlefield map is blocked.

Where did the enemy come from? How many and where is the ambush?

Do you want to outflank your own rear?

These are all ignorance.

Now if you want more victories, you need to attack further.

But in that case, the danger is great.

The other party can quietly copy their own back.

Then dig trenches to block the escape route, which is the specialty of the Eight Banners.

Wen Rensheng's soldier output is mainly firearms.

This firearm is powerful, but it also consumes a lot.

Once the gunpowder is gone, the main output will be spent.

Relying on spearmen and shield soldiers cannot deal with the infantry and cavalry of the Eight Banners.

They wear heavy armor and fight in formation.

There is also a powerful walking bow, which is a talent brought about by the life of fishing and hunting.

If you fight like this, the shield soldiers can protect for a while, but it will be very difficult to confront them.

Shields would take too much energy.

How to obtain battlefield information now?

Wen Rensheng didn't give any advice.

Yi Zijia sent out an infantry squad using heavy matchlock guns, combined with cavalry as scouts.

Cover the cavalry with infantry.

They relied on their heavy matchlock guns to drive back the enemy's cavalry.

Unless the enemy cavalry dismounts and uses an infantry bow, riding a bow cannot cause effective damage.

But the step bow is powerful, but it does not pursue the range and speed of fire, but the armor-piercing.

However, the range of the heavy matchlock gun can reach 200 steps, far exceeding the range of the Jurchen step bow, and its power is far beyond.

Breaking armor is easy.

A fork is required for support.

So with the help of the infantry to drive them away, the opponent's precious scouts, after losing a few, no longer approached these teams.

It's too bad to fight.

You must know that all of these scouts are qualified to be white armored soldiers, and some of them can even be Gebush Xian.

Scouts are the most elite soldiers in the army, none of them.

If anyone uses miscellaneous soldiers as scouts, the general is either a fool, or he just doesn't want to survive.

Intelligence is always paramount in war.

In this way, the small group of infantry cooperated with the cavalry, and finally drove away the Jurchen cavalry surrounding the large group of troops.

They tended to retreat as soon as they saw the squad approaching.

No one would be foolish enough to charge forward.

Even if it is possible to disperse, before that, within 200 steps, there will be two rounds of shooting, a total of 60 to 100 rounds of bullets.

Hit rate is high.

Because the opponent is hitting a horse.

Without the horses, the scouts would be finished too.

Soon, new information will arrive.

A Jurchen team of about 300 people is camping ahead.

It was a river with only one bridge over it.

The other party is setting up camp behind the bridge.

The composition of 300 people is 30 white armored soldiers, 200 armored Eight Banners Ding, and 70 mixed Mongolian and Jurchen cavalry.

Obviously they are mainly infantry.

All 300 people are soldiers.

It is not surprising to be able to defeat several thousand people from Daming head-on.

And now, they obviously have the confidence to stop the strange army of 7,000 people.

It's just that they obviously don't know the details of their opponents.

Yizi A called the other four people and began to discuss the next arrangement.

"There were only 300 of them, and they didn't run away. Instead, they camped. Obviously, they wanted to stop us and wait for the reinforcements to gather," Yizi Yi said.

"Since this is the case, we must hurry up and find out the upstream and downstream of this river to prevent the other party from outflanking." Yizi Bing said immediately.

"I've already done this, and I ordered them to find out the upstream and downstream situation at any cost." Yi Zijia nodded.

"Now we are not familiar with the terrain, they are very familiar with the terrain. We'd better retreat to the harbor." Yizi Bing said again.

He's clearly a conservative.

There are always three factions in battle.

Aggressive, conservative, neutral.

Yizi A was silent.

It is safest to retreat, but there will be no results in this way.

The Jurchens were smart too, they didn't land.

Instead, it is cultivated on the plains far from the coast.

Moreover, they are all old, weak, sick, disabled and coated. The broken Zhuangzi added up, that is to say, more than two thousand coated slaves were arrested and more than one hundred old, weak, sick and disabled Jurchens were killed.

It can be said that there is basically no victory.

Totally a big loss.

The freight and various expenses for this trip to the north, the dead horses alone far exceeded these results.

If you quit like this, you will not be able to fight again next time.

Because there is no value for money.

The Jurchens could support this kind of battle a hundred times, but they could only last two or three times. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

So we have to keep fighting.

At least there must be enough harvest, or war experience, or war capture.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Immediately notify the guards on the back road, let them closely monitor the movement of the back road, and report immediately if there are enemy scouts. And let them expel and kill the scouts on the back road as much as possible. , we can’t let them figure out our way out.”

Obviously, he was cautious and careful enough. This was also specially selected by Wen Rensheng.

In the first battle, it is better to be cautious and lose money than to make bold advances and wipe out the whole army.

Soon the crowd was in motion.

"Our minimum goal is to kill the 300 Jurchen warriors in front of us. The highest goal is to continue to penetrate and hit the first city of the Jurchens, Yangliao City."
