MTL - Mystery Makes Me Strong-Chapter 2123 retreat before the enemy
This moment.
The 7,000 people led by Yi Zijia are burning, killing and looting all over the Liaodong Jurchen.
They sent out small teams one by one.
Sweep around.
Break up Zhuangzi, burn farmland, and take away those coats, regardless of the elderly and children, take them all away.
At this time, Erbeile Amin, who had received the news early, had already started to gather information.
From the more than 10,000 people left behind, he gathered 2,000 cavalry.
Then the horse whipped up, one man and two horses, rushed over to stop the opponent, and ordered the infantry to come slowly.
After receiving the news of the opponent's large-scale cavalry dispatch, Wen Rensheng's adopted sons quickly began to shrink the soldiers back.
And began to retreat gradually.
The total time for burning, killing and kidnapping is the ten-day window period.
But when retreating, they now have a huge advantage, that is, they have Western artillery accompanying the army.
Now the Jurchens have cannons, but they can only be used to defend the city. They are the cannons on the captured city of the Ming army, which are too bulky.
Now the Jurchens do not have this kind of accompanying artillery.
After gathering, they began to retreat quickly.
They retreated all the way to the bridge of the river which had been blocked before.
Then retreated to the south of the river and burned the bridge.
None of the weaker 300 burned the bridge, they did.
This phenomenon made A Min, who was chasing him, understand that the opponent was a group of novices who lacked confidence.
Amin immediately ordered the cavalry to collect ships along the upstream and downstream, look for shallow and narrow places, try to cross the river from upstream and downstream, outflank and flank the opponent.
At the same time he ordered the infantry behind to speed up.
Since the opponent is a novice, there is no need to worry about the infantry rushing too fast and being defeated by the opponent.
Adopted child A found that there is indeed some trouble now.
He knew there was a place up the river where he could cross.
If the opponent came around from the north of the river, he could quickly catch up with his infantry.
Now his location is a total of 300 miles away from the temporary seaport.
Continue to retreat to the harbor, and now we can retreat 60 miles a day.
This is already the upper limit of speed for carrying a large number of accompanying artillery and the population that has just been robbed.
Every day can only do a temporary camp, the simplest version.
Even so, it will take 5 days before they can retreat to the vicinity of the temporary harbor and get a guarantee of safety.
But Amin's cavalry had already crossed the river.
Then chase at a speed of 150 a day.
Finally, within 150 miles from the harbor, he caught up with his opponent.
At this time, the two sides started a battle 150 miles away from the harbor.
This battle is obviously not what Yi Zijia is willing to carry out.
But he couldn't run away from the opponent, so he had to carry on.
Just like in Riding and Blade and Slash, the most important thing in the early stage is to add guide skills, not one of them.
However, Amin made a huge mistake without knowing it.
Can't blame him either.
At this time, he still didn't know that Huang Taiji was returning thousands of miles away, ready to catch the enemy.
He pursued all the way, but instead oppressed the opponent to the harbor...
In order to prevent leakage of information, Huang Taiji did not notify Amin when he set off.
Otherwise, Amin has chosen not to back down now.
Should show weakness.
He even deliberately fought a losing battle against renunciation...
Lure the enemy deep.
However, none of this became a reality.
It was very simple for Huang Taiji to inform Amin.
He can use the post station of the Ming Dynasty to inform.
Directly from Shanhaiguan, and then to Jin*, just spend the money directly.
It only takes five days to notify Amin.
As for why Amin is so active and wants to win this battle.
That is, he wanted to make military exploits, and everyone else made military exploits by looting in the pass.
He is defending his hometown outside the pass.
At this time, Yi Zijia ordered the small team to form a brigade.
A squad of 150 people can deal with a team of 300 people, but it will definitely not be able to deal with cavalry of a thousand people.
Ten teams of 150 people were integrated to form a large hollow square formation of 1,500 people.
Put the cannon in the middle.
The spearman is in the middle, the shieldman is in front, and the musketeers are distributed in the 4 corners.
He used it to fire a musket.
Used against cavalry.
The opponent's cavalry is actually mounted infantry.
They are going to fight with heavy armor and step bow formation.
Instead of riding and shooting with soft bows like the Mongolians do now.
The two sides met.
The distance is three miles.
Amin looked at the opponent's formation from afar.
He saw the other party began to put on armor.
He has a good look.
The opponent's shield hand wears three layers of armor, the pikeman wears double armor, and the arquebus shooter also wears double armor.
And his soldiers and horses also began to wear armor early.
The soldiers had all dismounted and began to lead the horses forward.
Bao Yi and his attendants help the white armor to put on a layer of armor, and the red armor to put on a double layer, but not necessarily, the rich red armor can also wear three armors.
Cotton armor, chain mail, and iron armor, the three sets weigh 30 to 50 kilograms, and it is difficult for non-strong elites to carry them on their backs, let alone fight.

Both sides have already put on their armor and lined up.
A Min saw that his side was still a little faster than the other side.
But the opponent is also a well-trained elite, at least all have armor, which is very scary.
All 7000 people have A.
How rich do you have to be to do this?
He naturally didn't understand how big the profit of the sea trade was, which far exceeded their captivity.
He quickly ordered a Gushan to take 1,000 people to test the enemy's position.
And his own 300 white armors, and 1,700 more, acted as a reserve team. He didn't even move.
The cavalry led the horses forward.
They will not mount their horses until they are within 2 miles.
It's just that when the cavalry gradually approached, a cannon rang, disrupting their rhythm.
I saw that the two sides of the hollow phalanx had been pushed onto the artillery carts.
The horses were untied, and the cannon fire had begun.
These cannons affected the rhythm of the cavalry.
They began to mount their horses quickly, and then opened up the evacuation distance.
This makes solid shells much less effective.
Hit on the way of the cavalry charge.
Many shells went empty.
However, some shells were lucky and hit some horses.
Then, under Amin's distressed eyes, dozens of cavalry fell down.
Then they began to rapidly approach a front hollow phalanx.
There are ten 6-pound guns on each side.
They began to shoot one after another.
For this battle, Wen Rensheng also spent all his money.
A total of 60 6-pound guns were bought and imitated.
As the opponent's cavalry approached, the artillery began to load the cannons with shotguns one after another and pushed them to the front of the formation.
If all the 20 guns were loaded with shotguns and shot out, it would undoubtedly cause heavy casualties to the cavalry.
It is equivalent to punching the opponent directly in the heart, which is naturally very dangerous.
Only at this time, when the cavalry quickly approached, Amin had already noticed the danger of the opponent's artillery.
He immediately asked the flag bearer to wave the flag, and Gu Shan Ezhen, who was leading the army ahead, chose to retreat.
Their cavalry circled in front of the formation, and the 1,000 men finally left more than 20 wounded soldiers, and then withdrew.
They took away the wounded soldiers that could be taken away as much as possible.
Now the opponent's cannon is still roaring.
Some were loaded with shotgun, and some were still loaded with solid rounds.
If they delay for half a minute, they may lose dozens of people.
The enemy's guns fired fast and fiercely, and they were accurate.
Yes, it is much more accurate than the Ming army.
And he was very courageous, and he didn't run away when the cavalry approached.
After Amin discovered this, he did not choose to attack again.
Because he was reluctant to waste his strength.
He retreated two miles and set up camp.
Wait for your infantry to follow.
It is not so easy for the opponent to run.
Back in the tent, Amin's son couldn't help but said: "Ama, we just have to charge up, we can definitely beat them to pieces."
Hearing this, Amin scolded angrily: "If you charge hard, you will know how to charge hard. Do you know how much the people of this banner will lose if this happens?"
"The opponent has artillery, so we have no way to shoot them down with a step bow, let alone they have shields."
"The opponent's artillery fired far, fast, and accurately. I used the cavalry to probe, and I could kill dozens of people. If the infantry fired in groups, it would definitely kill hundreds of people."
"All of our dead are the most elite soldiers. They are all red-haired men and two-dollar men. After returning, the sweat will cut off my head, and then I will cut off your head first."
Amin's son immediately lowered his head.
He is the youngest son of Amin, he has just been in battle for a few years, and he still wants to make meritorious service.
And after hearing his father's analysis, he understood how powerful the battle was.
The Jurchens can't afford this kind of exchanging tactics.
If it wasn't a crucial battle, they would not be willing to spend their lives.
If it is a normal small battle, they all have to consider whether they can win a complete victory and whether they will lose money.
If they can't win all, then they would rather not fight.
Because they can't afford the bloodletting.
But whenever it comes to a big battle that determines the fate of the whole family, they dare to sacrifice.
They would not hesitate to kill thousands of people.
After the white armor beats the red armor, go on, and after the red armor beats the old man, go on.
We must keep down the aura of the Ming army and maintain the psychological advantage of being victorious in every battle.
At this time, Amin had already seen the tricky place.
The opponent has guns that can be used in field battles.
The Ming army also had cannons, but they were all small cannons with a range of no more than a hundred paces.
Not as powerful as their step bows.
So they are not afraid.
It also often explodes, it is simply their free mole.
But now, the opponent's artillery smashed their most powerful weapon, the infantry bow.
If he wants to break through the opponent's formation now, he must use cavalry to charge in a dense formation.
The opponent's artillery can hit three miles.
At the beginning, the cavalry can advance in a sparse formation to avoid the damage of artillery fire.
But after 500 steps, we must gather.
Otherwise, there would be no time to assemble the whole team.
It takes about 30 seconds to rush to the front of the opponent with 500 steps.
The opponent should only be able to shoot one round.
But one round is also 20 shells.
One shell hits a flesh and blood alley, which can kill or injure 10 people.
20 is 200 people.
This is fatal.
What's more, it's useless to rush to the front of the formation, the opponent still has heavy shields and heavy armor.
There are also muskets in it.
The two sides shot at each other and still suffered.
The cavalry wants to charge hard, but the opponent has a long gun.
If you use precious cavalry to fight the spears, you will definitely lose money.
But if 10 cavalry are sacrificed, the opponent's formation will be loosened, the formation will collapse, and then it will be chasing and killing.
At that time, the death of 10 cavalrymen would allow other cavalrymen to slash and kill thousands of opponents, and that would be a profit.
That's why cavalry can still be seen risking their lives to attack the spear array.
As long as a gap is cleared, after other cavalry rush in, the kill will collapse, and the rear will be easy to kill.
What I'm afraid of is that the opponent will not collapse and keep fighting against the cavalry.
That would be a big problem.
Even if you dismount and shoot with heavy arrows, you must shoot flat within 30 meters to be able to penetrate shields and heavy armor.
However, at this time, the musket also has the function of piercing armor at this distance.
Amin who wants to understand these will naturally find it very difficult.
The opponent in the long-distance battle has a cannon, and the opponent in the melee has a heavy shield.
It can be said that Wen Rensheng designed this tactic from the beginning to ensure that he can gain a firm foothold in the case of passive defense.
This is the so-called invincibility.
No matter how strong the opponent's cavalry is, heavy arrows can't break through the giant shield, cavalry can't break through spears, and they have to accept the baptism of matchlock guns, and they will inevitably collapse.
Although Amin decided to fight at the beginning, when he found out that the opponent was a turtle.
Immediately began to professionalize the use of cavalry.
No longer rushing, but pestering and harassing.
Use a small team, a team of 10 cavalry, to attack and harass the opponent with such a number.
Get off the horse and shoot ten heavy arrows and run away, which is exciting and effective.
This forced the opponent's large formation to not disperse, the giant shield to get on the car, and the Jiawei not to leave the body.
If this continues, soldiers will quickly tire.
And he also let his infantry speed up.
He thought that at least 5,000 infantry could come.
In this case, 5000 infantry + 2000 cavalry will be able to charge.
Immediately, Yi Zi A felt uncomfortable.
If you want to shoot and bombard, you can't hit it.
I want to send cavalry to drive them away, but I can't beat them.
If you want to send a small team to drive out the outflank, you will not have enough mobility, and you also have to worry about being gathered by the opponent's cavalry and encircling and destroying them.
The other party has a large number of people and can support each other. This is not the time when there were 300 people before.
With a large scale, many tactics are completely different.
Adopted son Jia felt very uncomfortable.
But soon the red-haired people gave a solution...
They sent some excellent officers to act as skirmishers to drive away these scattered and harassing cavalry.
They carried expensive muzzle-loading guns and used small hammers to drive the lead into the barrel.
Then lie down in front of the formation and shoot at the cavalry's horses.
If the opponent dismounts a hundred steps away, they are their targets.
They can shoot accurately to 200 paces.
Horses have a much bigger goal than people.
The earliest rifled gun appeared in Augsburg, Hansland, in 1498.
The process of rifling was very complicated for the processing technology at that time, and the high price made it impossible for military use.
It is now after 16xx.
Rifling has become a must-have gun for many officers hunting, and it is also a weapon used by skirmishers.
This time, those scattered 10-member teams were out of luck.
They were killed one by one by precise bullets.
They had to stay 400 paces away.
And this distance is enough for the infantry in the phalanx to remove their armor and shields and put them on the car.
If they want to get together and fight, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gathering is very time-consuming, so they have time to put on their armor again.
In this way, Yi Zijia was finally able to start slowly again.
All the way to maintain the phalanx form to retreat.
The cavalry followed closely behind.
But the opponent's phalanx is not chaotic, and occasionally stragglers will shoot them.
This made the cavalry very uncomfortable.
If the Ming army had been followed by the Jurchens like this on the way to retreat, they would have collapsed long ago.
Because they knew that if they didn't escape first, they would serve as cannon fodder and shields to the general's servants to stop the Jurchens' cavalry.
So they must have scrambled to escape, and most of them were killed in the end.
