The hillside is not high and the terrain is smooth, but the view from the top is still very good.
Yu Qian stood there and watched the ground, and couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificent scene.
The cavalry and infantry all had formations on the field, with smoke floating in the air, and some defeated soldiers scattered like sand collapsed on sand trays running around on the ground.
The battlefield is undoubtedly a grand and quaint activity. It consumes a lot but does not show any gorgeousness. In the greenness of nature, the gray-black tone of the army's weapons appears to be solemn and bleak.
But that excitement soon disappeared, and Yu Qian realized that this ambush would not cause a substantial blow to the rebels as soon as possible.At first, he had no hope of annihilation of the rebels in this battle. If the weak Southern Army could defeat the opponent, what is the significance of the Northern Army with many people?It will definitely be uncomfortable to actually go through this process.
The arrangements and arrangements designed by Yao Fang have taken advantage of the right time and place, and more people than the opponents, and it is considered to be a trick, but it is inevitable that the battlefield failure will be defeated.The young Yu Qian couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
But he soon felt relieved from this bad mood. He firmly believed that he was doing a great thing that benefited the country and the people. In order to usher in a peaceful and prosperous era earlier, to live and work in peace and contentment for such a just goal, even if he really used any shameful conspiracy and tricks, even if he used any means, he could be open-minded and worthy of the world.
Futai, the thief army is coming. You leave here first and let the generals wait for them here.A general said flatteringly from the side.
Yu Qian said in a casual tone: My life is not important.
Perhaps it was because of the outrageous spirit of his body that few of the generals present doubted the true intention of the governor's words, and people couldn't help but feel respectful.
Duke Cheng once wrote a letter to make new firearms. He made a lot of sense, and our cannons are unbearable.Yu Qian sighed again.
He witnessed the entire process of this battle with his own eyes, and did not feel that he had made any mistakes. There was nothing wrong with the tactical concept of using cavalry and artillery coordination in ambush wars. The reason for the lack of results: first, the rebels' military discipline was rectified and it was extremely difficult to collapse. If it were an ordinary rebel army, two rounds of artillery attacks and cavalry advances would definitely defeat them; second, Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh that the artillery was unusable, and the Ming army's artillery performance and tactics were not suitable for such a war model, and it was impossible to open a gap for the cavalry with certainty.
For a moment, Yu Qian had many thoughts in his mind. If he wrote it down in the future and published it into a book, it might become an epoch-making military ideological work.
The shouts of the rebels approaching the foot of the mountain made him come to his senses quickly, and he ordered without hesitation: The general's cannon should not be loaded with solid bullets, change the pieces, and prepare to defend against the attack of the bandits.
A general next to him hurriedly said: "It's a clear record to comfort the Taiwan Strait, it's very troublesome to install a heavy artillery.It is probably too late to change clothes and disguise.
The Ming military's use of artillery to hit shots is a conventional tactic, and there is a set of loading procedures, but Yu Qian is a civil servant who does not have enough understanding of many military details.
According to normal operations, when loading the cannons, they must first be erected. For cannons weighing hundreds of kilograms, this is not an easy task. Then load gunpowder, place wooden partitions above the gunpowder, and finally place projectiles on the partitions, and soil needs to be filled between the projectiles.
Be careful to compact before preparing to fire...
Obviously, it is not working to use shotguns temporarily as a defense method at present.
However, Yu Qian could not allow the artillery to carry out the second round of solid bullet strikes, because according to the tactical rules agreed before, Meng Guang, the general of the Southern Army, had to order the cavalry to launch an attack on the attacking rebel flanks after hearing the cannon. Each round of attack was huge. The charge just now was completely ineffective but at least hundreds of cavalry warriors were lost.
Yu Qian had an established strategic idea in his mind. If he could not severely damage the rebels, he needed to temporarily preserve the strength of the Southern Army in order to form an effective restraint against the enemy.
At present, he is unwilling to lose his cavalry's strength and thus lose his deterrence to the rebels and affect the overall situation.
After thinking, he ordered again: Immediately send someone to send an order to General Meng, stop attacking the enemy, and immediately evacuate eastward after receiving the order.
Here, a group of troops were left to break the rear, and the other infantry abandoned the heavier ordnance, and each unit evacuated the battlefield on its own. If the pursuers were dispersed, they would gather in the camp.
Get order!
The deputy general looked at the people coming up from below with concern and asked: Futai, how should the people behind the rear defend the high ground?
Using bowl-mouth guns and heavy arrows, we are close to the God of Use motorcycle.Yu Qian replied.
Shortly after the military order was issued, the infantry on the hillside quickly turned around and went north to go down the mountain, discarding many supplies, weapons, and armor along the way. In addition, many teams were in a hurry to retreat before the battle, and they were already in chaos and rushed to run away.
The soldiers who were cut off the rear were also panic when they saw that the large number of people ran away, but they saw that Yu Qian and other senior officials were still standing behind them, so they bit the bullet and did not move.
The deputy general advised Yu Qian to evacuate now, but he still stood tall; at this time, he led the horse over.
The rebels who were attacking the back were climbing the hillside, but after closer inspection, they were still very well organized. When the vanguard approached, a burst of cannons sounded from the mountain, and a long row of bowl-mouthed guns erupted, and the shells tilted downwards.
There were only screams heard in the smoke of gunpowder. The dense formation was difficult to avoid being killed and injured, but it still failed to stop the attack.
The commander of the official army stared at the smokey underneath and shouted: Prepare for heavy arrows!
The military of the mainland garrison can only shoot dozens of steps away with heavy arrows, but it may be as far as a hundred steps on the hillside, which is the same as the rebels' megaline guns, so they will not suffer any loss.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a fire broke out on the hillside, and the fire flashed in the smoke, like lightning in the clouds.
The Suzaku military camp used a Franc to fight back. The cavalry cannon was a primary rear loading cannon. Each cannon was equipped with five sub-guns, and the firing rate was very fast.
After one round of artillery attacks, many archers in the same formation were killed and injured. Many people were frightened and pulled their bows and shot arrows. The arrows flew around, but they could not shoot at the rebels. Most of them fell on the hillside and threw them into the lake like stones.
Whoever dares to run away, kill immediately!The commander of the official army was foresighted, and shouted first, barely maintaining the formation.
Seeing this, Yu Qian took the reins and said to his entourage: Let's go.
The general who was commanding the battle was shouting: Change the arrow, prepare!
A gong sounded from the hillside, and the white smoke slightly blown away by the wind was crowded again.
When the second gong sounded, amid the shouts, there was a sudden crackling sound, and an invisible lead bullet flew over like raindrops.
A soldier Ah screamed, immediately dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and covered his left forehead. Blood splattered. In an instant, many people fell to the ground, and some corpses rolled down.
The troops were shocked and were already panicked. They immediately scattered and ran away, rushing to run away, and nothing could stop them. Even the generals were too lazy to yell and turned around and ran.
kill!Kill... The rebels roared on the hillside, and they bent over and rushed up hard.
The ones in front had lost the horizontal row, and a group of people rushed forward with short guns, waist knives, etc.
Unexpectedly, just as they were approaching dozens of steps, someone from the defeated army ignited two god locomotives, and a large number of rockets ejected out.
The god motorcycle is also called a swarm of bees and loaded with a large number of rockets. It sprays as spectacular as a rocket launcher. It screams when it smokes behind the arrows, as if it is a large-scale weapon of killing.
Unfortunately, the rockets had no rules in the ballistics under the advancement of gunpowder. The ballistics and gods, like the Bronck movement, couldn't figure out where they would fly. Some were wandering in the air and went straight to the sky, and some quickly landed on the ground, and then scattered a little further away.
Countless rockets scared the soldiers of the Suzaku Army, but there was no damage. They quickly occupied the high ground artillery formation of the government army.
Yu Qian was escorted by the guards and was on his way back to the east camp.
After he returned to the military camp, he was very frustrated when he saw the soldiers. More than 20,000 people were ambushing more than 10,000 people, and no one could be happy to fight like this.
Unexpectedly, as the overall planner of this battle, Yu Qian looked calm and calm.
What I want to say to you is that as long as we don’t make mistakes, we will definitely win this battle in the end.What big mistakes have we made so far?
Yu Qian said to the guards who came to the Central Army one after another.
The generals then realized that there were nearly 50,000 Northern Army troops and reinforcements, so they felt relieved.
Yu Qian comforted the generals and said: This battle can only be considered a draw, not a defeat.Although we have lost more troops, the military strength of the official army is far greater than that of the rebels, and we have also made some achievements. You have made contributions, and I will definitely focus on your bravery when performing the remarks.If this continues, the rebels will soon be unable to afford it.
However, what everyone is most concerned about is the current situation, and gradually some people start to discuss it.
I think it is better to retreat to the east of the Xiang River first, and rely on the high walls of Changsha Prefecture City to protect the capital... How can I cross the river?The cavalry and the others could not catch up, so they fled north first; the infantry threw away their baggage, and those who could get on board, and those who couldn't get on board would go back to the boat!Who can’t swim in our Huguang soldiers?
Some people are also opposing: Can someone take off the river and bring weapons and armor when you are driven down the river?Nothing is gone, and the generals are dispersed. What is the difference between defeat and defeat?If the thief army really wants to cross the river to attack Changsha Mansion, it depends on where you find someone to guard the city.
Bang!Suddenly, everyone turned around and saw Yu Qian slapped the table with his sword sheath, and his face looked angry, and everyone hurriedly stopped.
Yu Qian took a deep breath, feeling helpless, but in the end he calmed down and said coldly: Everyone present is the commander of the guards, the general who commanded the guards.If you are a general, wouldn’t you be responsible for defending your home and defeating the bandits?
Yes, yes...
Yu Qian said: To win the overall situation, the Southern Army's responsibility is to hold back the main force of the rebels, or to attack Chenzhou after retreating north. This is an established strategy.Anyone who disobeys will be punished as disobeying his life in the last battle and will never tolerate it!
Yu Qian stood there and watched the ground, and couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificent scene.
