Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jay Chou's army has been discovered by the Manchus. After all, it is impossible for such an army to remain undiscovered.

    However, even if the other party discovers it, Jay Chou has nothing to worry about.

    As a general of the Song Empire, he was very confident.

    This confidence comes not only from sophisticated weapons and artillery, nor from elite imperial soldiers, but mainly because it has been continuously established through wars in the years since the rise of the empire.

    Looking at the battles the empire has gone through, it seems that it has never failed.

    During the initial war against the British, Zhao Hongyu was still very weak at that time, and there were only a few hundred genetic men around him.

    But at that time, he could fight the British with these hundreds of people and win without losing.

    In the end, the British were completely cleared from Manhattan.

    Furthermore, the empire also fought with the local Indians, as well as the Iroquois, who had a large number of exhibitors in Quebec. It stands to reason that the Indians, as natives, should be able to inflict powerful damage on Zhao Hongyu.

    However, in front of Zhao Hongyu and others, quantity does not represent an advantage.

    The Song Empire army under Zhao Hongyu still won.

    Subsequently, the war against the Dutch and Spanish completely established the foundation of the Song Empire and gained European recognition.

    After so many wars, the Song Empire did not suffer any defeats, which shows the strength of its military.

    It is precisely for this reason that the generals of the Song Empire developed extremely strong self-confidence.

    This kind of self-confidence is not blind, but methodical self-confidence.

    Because they have capital and confidence, right?

    Jay Chou is like this too.

    He didn¡¯t think that Hou Jin¡¯s Manchu army was any different. No matter how strong it was, could it still be stronger than the Europeans?  Or an Indian?

    In the age of cold weapons, don¡¯t say who is stronger than the other, because this is simply a joke.

    ??In fact, it is a confrontation in the era of cold weapons.  What is being compared is the will of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy.

    The one with a strong will can basically win.

    Europeans appear a little weak because of their population and their different understanding of war.

    But you can¡¯t fail to see their advantages.

    The Fire Guns and the Spanish Phalanx actually have merit.

    At least, the phalanx created by the Spaniards was very effective against cavalry.

    If you give the Europeans enough troops to fight the Manchus, then the Europeans will not necessarily lose.

    Of course, the Europeans¡¯ will to fight is a big problem.

    Because they have a habit of surrendering.  This is a little different from the East.

    Even after their generals surrender, they can pay a ransom to lose themselves back.

    Therefore, European generals basically have no willpower at all if the war goes against them.

    The Manchus are different from the Europeans.

    They have mastered combat skills since they were young, and take killing as their profession. They have a strong desire and demandingness for war.

    And because of the confrontation with Ming Dynasty, the Manchus gradually developed a kind of self-confidence.  This confidence can be shown from their appearance.

    It is a kind of tough temperament that cannot be seen, as if they are the second child in the world, and they are the third child.

    But no matter what, Hou Jin¡¯s army still used cold weapons.

    At this point.  No country can compare with the Song Empire's army.

    You must know that all the troops in the Song Empire used muskets.  The manufacturing process of this kind of musket was even a whole era ahead of this era, and it only appeared in the 18th century.

    Even artillery is like this.

    At the same time, the musket is equipped with a bayonet.  To facilitate hand-to-hand combat.

    Each soldier is also equipped with a sharp Gurkha machete and five grenades.

    Whether it is a long-range attack or a close-range fight, the soldiers of the Song Empire can handle it more than enough.

    At the same time, grenades and muskets, as well as the artillery equipped in the army, can bring great damage to the enemy.

    Many times, the Army of the Song Empire never had the opportunity to use machetes to fight the enemy.

    Jay Chou originally had 32,000 people under his commandArmy soldiers, but 5,000 Army soldiers were left in Manila to control the situation, and 2,000 remained on the battleships.

    Therefore, now Jay Chou can only command 25,000 soldiers.

    From the perspective of military strength, Jay Chou may be at a disadvantage.

    After all, the Hou Jin army that besieged the capital of the Ming Dynasty had between 50,000 and 60,000 soldiers.

    These troops are more than double the strength of the army led by Jay Chou.

    But, things can¡¯t be seen that way.

    At least, that¡¯s not how Jay Chou sees it.

    It¡¯s true that your own strength is doubled, but the opponent¡¯s weapons and tactics are not as good as yours.

    At the same time, the quality of the soldiers is not good either.

    Therefore, no matter how you look at it, you have a greater advantage.

    If everyone is an army of this era, then it goes without saying that the army of the Later Jin Manchus is a powerful enemy.

    However, after all, the soldiers under his command have modern ideas, and the officers have advanced tactics.

    ??If compared to this, the army of the Later Jin Dynasty is a complete joke.

    There are less than ten thousand Jurchens, but ten thousand are invincible?

    As the Manchus who claim to be descendants of the Jurchens, they also clamor for such slogans.

    So, let me bust this myth.

    Jay Chou looked at the distant horizon, a line of black shadow slowly appearing, and said to himself.

    Needless to say, the dense black line that appears on the horizon at the end of the plain is the Manchu army.

    Since you have been discovered by the other party, it is impossible for the other party to have no reaction.

    Jay Chou¡¯s guess was not wrong at all.

    Opposite the Song Empire¡¯s army, what did appear were 10,000 Two Blue Flag cavalry led by Ordo.

    Originally, Ordo led the cavalry of the two blue flags to find traces of Jay Chou and the others, and then give them a powerful blow according to Huang Taiji's instructions.

    However, not long after Ordo and the others left the camp, the reconnaissance cavalry dispatched by the camp discovered Jay Chou and the others, and after losing five people, they reported the news to the camp.

    Huang Taiji, who received the news, was also surprised.  Because he did not expect that this mysterious army would arrive near the capital in such a short period of time and be very close to Hou Jin's military camp.

    Therefore, Huang Taiji made a decision in the shortest possible time, that is, to let Ordo, who had just left, lead an army to stop this mysterious army.

    Now Huang Taiji¡¯s soldiers and horses have been scattered in the four directions of the capital.

    Therefore, he was not able to assemble the entire army for a while, and it would take some time to do so.

    At the same time, if a large army is assembled, then the armies in the other three directions will withdraw.  Then the plan to siege the capital will go bankrupt.

    This is a situation that Huang Taiji does not want to see happen.

    Therefore, he wanted Ordo to fight this mysterious army and test the opponent's strength at the same time.

    If Ordo can defeat the opponent, then he can breathe a sigh of relief.

    And if Ordo cannot defeat the opponent, or is even defeated by the opponent, then even if Huang Taiji is unwilling, he will have no choice but to stop besieging the capital and start to gather troops to fight Jay Chou, or start to withdraw his troops.

    Huang Taiji began to fiddle with his little abacus again.

    It¡¯s just that his thinking is a bit rigid.  I am using the same thinking as fighting the Ming army to deal with the current matter.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that his current opponent is simply not comparable to the incompetent Ming army?  Because this is a team from the other side of the ocean.  The military of a powerful nation that emerged in just four years.

    Furthermore, the soldiers in this army were strong-willed and well-equipped, far beyond any army Huang Taiji knew.

    After all, Huang Taiji is not a god.  Even though he is very smart, it is impossible for him to know something beyond his understanding.

    For example, the rise of the Song Empire was completely unparalleled.

    And the existence of Zhao Hongyu is something that people of the entire era cannot believe.

    Ordo led the troops of the two blue flags and did not go far.  Then he was overtaken by the messengers sent by the camp and conveyed Huang Taiji's new decree.

    Therefore, the armies of Ordo and the Two Blue Banners appeared in front of Jay Chou's army.

    The flag with a red background has never been seen before.

    It seems that the Ming army did not have a team with such a banner.

    Furthermore, the clothes worn by the enemy in frontIt's also a little different and weird. It's not the style of the Ming army's clothes or the Ming Dynasty.

    It¡¯s really strange, where did this army come from?

    This is definitely not the so-called wolf soldiers of Guangxi, because the barbarians in the south would not dress like this. The spies of the Later Jin Kingdom had already had some portraits and information about the wolf soldiers that the Ming Dynasty relied on.

    After forming their formation, Erdo sat on his horse and looked at Jay Chou's army on the opposite side, and then he began to think about it in his mind.

    But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find any clues.

    ??????????????? But their military appearance is quite impressive, I hope it¡¯s not just a show.

    At this time, Ordo has not yet taken his enemies seriously.

    After all, he had never fought against the Song Empire's army, so how could he know how powerful the Song Empire's army was.

    Jay Chou has just put down the telescope and is talking to the adjutant next to him.

    "This is the army of the rear army, the predecessor of our Qing Dynasty? It is said to be the most elite army in the East in this era?"

    After hearing this, the adjutant responded: "You're right, General. Opposite us is Hou Jin's army. Judging from their flags, they should be soldiers and horses of Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner."

    Jay Chou curled his lips, with a look of disdain on his face.

    "Order the artillery team to start concentrating on the center and prepare explosive shells at the same time. The 10th Brigade is responsible for the left wing, and the 9th Brigade is responsible for the right wing. If there is a fight later, these Manchus will definitely charge on our two wings."

    While giving orders with his mouth, Jay Chou kept complaining in his heart.

    As expected, it¡¯s the money rat tail hairstyle, it¡¯s really ugly.

    Those Qing palace dramas in movies and TV dramas are all lies, how can there be such a beautiful braided hairstyle (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
