The corpse of Mr. Qian was quickly carried back by the soldiers.
Zhao Han glanced at it, and said to Zhang Tieniu: "After you go back, you will be rewarded for your merits, and the iron armor on this man will be rewarded to you."
"That's good." Zhang Tieniu's eyes lit up, wishing he could take off the armor immediately.
Zhao Han is still too poor. He didn't even have a pair of iron armor until now during the rebellion, and all the generals under his command can only wear leather armor.
In the Ming Dynasty, the management of weapons was not strict. As long as they were not firearms, even strong bows and crossbows were allowed to be owned by civilians. However, whoever dares to make and collect armor privately is tantamount to rebellion!
The deceased in front of him should be a hereditary military general, and his armor is also an antique, maybe a hundred or two hundred years old.
?With the iron factories in Xinyu and Fenyi counties, the weapons station will soon be open for operation.
The first thing to build is not a firearm, but thousands of waist knives. At least all the daggers on the archers should be replaced with war knives, which are not daggers at all, but iron spear heads with short handles.
The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Zhao Han paced over to comfort the wounded. Seeing Wu Yong was dressing his wound, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Did you catch the high official this time?"
Wu Yong said dejectedly: "This time the real senior officials are all riding horses, and they really can't catch up. There are so many horses for the officers and soldiers, there must be at least twenty of them."
Wu Yong belonged to the Nuer Army. He charged with Zhang Tieniu before, and his shoulder was cut with a big cut.
This kind of battle is the most intense.
On the contrary, it was a defensive battle commanded by Zhao Han himself. Regardless of the tens of thousands of people from the two armies fighting each other, in fact, the casualties of poking for half a day would not be very large. Even if the opponent is not a mob, but replaced by real elite soldiers of the imperial court, the process of fighting is similar.
The two armies stabbed each other and killed more than half of them, which is definitely a legendary level.
Let the Yue family army fight with the Sichuan white pole soldiers, maybe it can reach such an intensity. As for other armies, it is normal for a casualty rate to reach 5% to collapse, and a casualty rate of 10% to collapse can be called an elite soldier.
?For an army capable of withstanding 20% ??casualties, only 5,000 troops are enough for Zhao Han, and he can sweep several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.
Even the Houjin army at this time, if it suffers 20% casualties, it will definitely retreat. The Tartars are more desperate than you think.
The ability of Houjin to continue to grow does not depend on bravery and fearlessness, but on the strategy and tactics of rapid progress.
At the beginning of Nurhachi's army, he fought without any rules, and it was only after the establishment of the Eight Banners system that he truly became an army.
Even when it came to the Battle of Sarhu, the Tartars were not as powerful as the Ming Frontier Army. Every time, they exploited the loopholes in the inability of the Ming army to coordinate, and suddenly attacked one of the Ming troops, winning with two to three times the superior force, and then caused the other troops of the Ming army to flee.
What is truly terrifying is the speed at which the Tatars advance in tactics!
?Because of suffering a dark loss in the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi immediately adopted the shield car. The shield chariots were driven by heavy infantry, and the two shield chariots combined could cover the advance of twenty or thirty infantrymen, completely blinding the firearms of the frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, the tactics of the Ming army remained unchanged, and they still adopted the car camp firearms tactics against the Mongolian cavalry.
So this kind of war scene appeared¡ª¡ª
The Ming army set up chariots, and the soldiers hid behind the chariots. The archers shot arrows and the blunderbuss shot. This method of warfare has suppressed the Mongolian cavalry for hundreds of years.
The Tartars used heavy infantry in front, pushing shield chariots to cover the advance of the large troops. Most of the bows, arrows and bullets of the Ming army were blocked by shield vehicles. The Tartar archers hiding behind the shield chariot zoomed in and shot at the Ming army. After the infantry pushed away the obstacles along the way, the Tazi cavalry rushed out suddenly, mounted and shot at the Ming army, and immediately chased and killed them after they were routed.
This was the case in the Battle of Daling River. The Tartar cavalry fired two rounds in a row. With the archers' volley, the Ming army collapsed directly (the morale of the Ming army was actually good. After the first round of shooting by the Tartar cavalry, the second The second round was really overwhelmed and then retreated).
At that time, the main force of the Tartars was equipped with: 20% armored infantry, 30% mail archers, 40% light cavalry, and 10% armored cavalry.
And now, the Tartars have deployed firearms troops, which are even more difficult to deal with than in the Battle of Daling River!
It's completely tactical crushing. The Tatars keep improving their tactics, but the Ming army remains unchanged. How can the Ming army beat it?
? By the way, heavy artillery can break through the shield formations of the Tartars, but ordinary Franco cannons and Huzun cannons cannot.
With Zhao Han's current scumbag army, even if the soldiers can withstand 50% casualties, more than half of the soldiers will not retreat, and they will also suffer a disastrous defeat when they encounter the main force of the Tartars.
It's the same with white soldiers, because today's Tartars,"Hit me This is the thinking of the Jiangxi Third Division officials. They are afraid that Zhao Han will take advantage of the victory to attack and encircle Nanchang Mansion.
Zhao Han didn't bother to go there, he suffered from indigestion in the eight counties.
Even the Fengcheng County that Huang Yao captured, Zhao Han took the initiative to let it out, as a buffer zone between him and the government.
Li Maofang, Li Ruolian, and Wang Siren looked at each other in Nanchang.
"What should I do?" Li Ruolian asked.
Wang Siren sighed and said: "I still have half of my navy, and within a year, I will be able to regain my strength."
Li Maofang couldn't speak, the defeat was too complete.
Perhaps, Wang Siren still has the opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious deeds, because he is only a soldier in Jiangzhou.
Perhaps, Li Ruolian can be demoted and returned to Beijing because he is a military officer from Jinyiwei.
However, Li Maofang, as the governor of Jiangxi Province, is dismissed and dismissed from office, and it is very likely that he will be sent to prison for investigation!
It is true that civil servants have a high status, but once the city or land is lost, the main responsibility will also be counted on the civil servants. The Chongzhen Dynasty has planted several governors.
In the next two months, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren actively recruited troops to defend Nanchang City.
And Li Maofang has no interest in military affairs, he also has money in Nanchang. He sent his confidants to go straight to the capital by boat, and bribed the important officials of the court with money, so as to save his own life.
By the way, you can blame Wang Siren.
At the time of the decisive battle, Wang Siren's navy was defeated, which caused the main force of the officers and soldiers to collapse!
Yes, yes, this is Wang Siren's responsibility.
