Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ps: Today is the first update. Yesterday, we waited all day but it was still not our child's turn. There are too many people, so we have to wait in line today. It's not enough if we don't line up. If we miss the line, we have to start again  Parents, please forgive me. As a father, my children must come first now¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    "Array up!"

    The cold wind was biting, and the flags swayed with the wind, making a dull sound of "bang bang".

    Ordo led ten thousand taels of blue flag cavalry and set up a formation one mile in front of Jay Chou's army.

    "My lord, the soldiers and horses in front of us don't seem to be the Ming army."

    A leader next to Erdo put down his hand on his forehead, turned around and said to him.

    "Looking at the flag, I don't think it looks like the Ming army."

    Erdo nodded.

    "No matter who he is, he will be crushed in front of my invincible Eight Banners cavalry."

    Erdo held the reins tightly, his tone unquestionable.

    This kind of confidence did not come out of thin air. It was obtained by Hou Jin's army from countless victories.

    In their eyes, there is no one in the East who can be called an opponent.

    "The Mongols can't do it, the Koreans can't do it, the Ming Dynasty can't do it either.

    That¡¯s why Ordo would say such a thing.

    The leader laughed after hearing this: "Hahahaha! Your Excellency is right, in front of my invincible Eight Banners cavalry, there is no opponent. I just don't know that these soldiers and horses in front can resist my two blue cavalry."  How many times did the flag cavalry charge?"

    When the sergeant said this, some of the generals around him spoke one after another.

    "I think we can defeat them in one charge!"

    "I see that the opponent's army is in great shape, and it seems to be different from the sluggish Ming army. I think it will be a little troublesome for us to defeat them. Let's charge three times."

    "It's a joke, how could our two Blue Flag cavalry be so weak? Even the Ming army can't withstand our charge in one go. And we are not the weaklings of the surrendered army, so I bet we can defeat them in one go."

    "Confidence is a good thing, but you have to be cautious in everything. These people are obviously different from the Ming army, so I bet twice."

    Some of the generals of the Houjin and Blue Banners beside Ordo were very confident, believing that they could defeat or even defeat Jay Chou and the Imperial Army in a single charge.

    Some people have a slightly different view and are very cautious.

    But none of them thought that this upcoming battle would end in their own defeat.

    Now the two blue flag armies, from the generals to the soldiers, all believe that the victory in this battle will definitely be theirs.

    only.  Fighting isn't just a matter of wishful thinking.

    To win a battle, there are many complicated factors.

    It¡¯s as if the battle hasn¡¯t even started yet, and these people start to think that they will be able to win, which is a bit crazy.

    Although here in the East, the Hou Jin army had no defeats, after all, the opponents they had to face were extraordinary.

    It¡¯s just that Ordo and the others don¡¯t know.

    Opposite, Jay Chou was observing the formation of Ordo and the others with a cone telescope.

    ?Through observation, Jay Chou discovered that the rear Jin army in front was placed.  It is a cavalry charge formation.

    It is conceivable that as long as the battle starts, the 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side will rush towards us like a tide.

    Cavalry, in this era.  That is a unit comparable to a tank.

    For infantry, there are innate restraint conditions.

    And, the rise of the Manchu cavalry among the black mountains and white waters is the same as the Mongols on the grassland.  They are also very good at riding and shooting.

    A Manchu cavalryman has an arrow pot on his waist, which contains thirty feather arrows.

    In other words, a soldier basically rides his horse before charging into battle.  They need to shoot thirty arrows.  The troops fighting him had to withstand the rain of arrows.

    ¡° Then counting the number of the opponent¡¯s troops and horses, one¡¯s own side will be able to withstand the covering fire of 300,000 arrows.

    Of course, the opponent¡¯s arrow range is about 150 yards, which is less than 100 meters away.

    Only within this distance, the arrow will be powerful and accurate. Beyond this distance, the arrow will have no power.

    On the other hand, our own muskets have a shooting power range of three hundred yards, and their accuracy is also very high.This distance is completely twice that of the opponent.

    Therefore, if the opponent wants to enter the effective arrow shooting distance, he must first rush within 150 yards.

    But before they could rush into the range of 150 yards, they would first be attacked by their own musketry.

    The army of the Song Empire was different from the Ming Army because they all used muskets.

    This kind of weapon is very lethal to both humans and war horses.

    Thinking about it, the Houjin army on the opposite side is enough to make them drink a pot.

    The troops on our side are not the Ming army armed with cold weapons and left to be rounded and flattened by you.

    hey-hey!

    "Just let me surprise you for a while, otherwise you will really think that you are invincible."

    Jay Chou put down the telescope in his hand and began to give orders.

    "Move the artillery forward! Prepare explosive shells! Focus on the left and right wings, prepare in linear formation!"

    ¡°The first team loads some medicine!¡±

    "Second team inspection!"

    "Move the artillery forward! The ammunition is loaded!"

    "The fourth team is ready!"

    "The fifth team is ready!"

    "The tenth team enters the left defensive circle!"

    "The ninth team enters the right wing defense circle and checks the ammunition!"

    Jay Chou's order was quickly issued, and each team began to move slowly according to the order and entered their combat state.

    "The enemy on the opposite side has set up a cavalry charge formation, and they will start to charge when the battle begins. This is the usual fighting method of the cavalry infantry, and I think they will definitely do this. At the same time, I predicted that in  Before their cavalry can charge into battle, they must have fired all the arrows in their quivers, so we have to hit them head-on before they enter the effective shooting range."

    Jay Chou expressed his views to the staff and adjutants around him.

    This battle is different from fighting the natives in Nanyang. After all, the natives have no rules when it comes to fighting.  It was all chaos and they launched a charge.

    So, when we were attacking the natives, we just had to line up and shoot them.

    At most, when chasing, just pay attention to the attacks and killings in the jungle.

    But the Hou Jin Dynasty was different from the natives of Nanyang, and the Manchu army was completely different from the native army.

    It can be said that Hou Jin's army was indeed the elite army in the East in this era.

    They fight very methodically, so they must not take it lightly.

    Jay Chou also cheered up and started to deal with it.

    After listening to Jay Chou¡¯s words, the staff behind him began to communicate one after another.

    The role of staff officers is to analyze the war situation.  And develop a sound strategy.

    After a short and quick exchange between the staff, the chief of staff got a more formal answer.

    Then, he said to Jay Chou: "General, we have analyzed it. According to the Manchu arrow range, I think if they want to give us effective damage, they must get within a hundred and fifty yards. But.  The effective shooting range of our army's muskets is three hundred yards, so"

    ?Basically.  What the advisers meant was similar to Jay Chou's own estimate.

    Fortunately, it did not contradict my own prediction.

    "Then how should we deal with their attack?"

    Although Jay Chou already had an idea, he still wanted to ask the staff what they meant.

    Hear the words.  The chief of staff responded with a smile: "It's just like fighting the British. Although the cavalry's mobility is very fast, the opponent still has no way to face the musket battle formation we use that only appeared in the Napoleonic era. I  I think we can effectively kill the opponent. Even if they can't rush within a hundred and fifty yards, don't forget, we also have powerful artillery. I think when the opponent launches a charge, the artillery will  I first inflicted a lot of damage on them, and the opponent's horse was blown up by the artillery"

    Ha ha ha ha!

    Jay Chou laughed loudly at this moment.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Chief of Staff's words completely spoke to his heart.

    It can be said that the staff members meant the same as he himself thought.

    Don¡¯t worry about what the enemy on the other side does, just use your muskets and artillery to maximize their power.

    Sometimes, you value the other person too much and think about how to deal with the reaction.??I fell behind.

    Isn¡¯t it just the cavalry?

    ??In fact, it¡¯s nothing remarkable.

    In another time and space, with the same muskets as their own, the British were able to defeat an enemy with more than 20,000 troops with only three to four hundred troops.

    So, with a well-equipped army of 25,000 under his command, is it possible that he still cannot defeat Hou Jin¡¯s army of only 10,000?

    "If he can't even do this, then Jay Chou will be an out-and-out trash.

    Jay Chou thought of the ¡®Boer War¡¯ in another time and space.

    Yes, that war was somewhat similar to my current situation. Both armies had firearms and had to face and fight cavalry.

    The difference is that the British had very few troops at that time, but now Jay Chou has sufficient troops.

    ??The British can win the war, so now that they have sufficient troops, is it difficult for them to win?

    Therefore, Jay Chou now has strong self-confidence in his heart.

    At this time, Jay Chou's artillery team has already moved into position, and all preparations have been completed.

    "Let's make the Eight Banners Army more powerful today, otherwise they will always think they are invincible."

    "What the general said is, let them know today that they are not invincible."

    After hearing this, the chief of staff and adjutant beside him all agreed.

    "Order Taize to charge into the formation and test the enemy's strength. At the same time, let Gular lead a charge from the enemy's left wing. Today we are going to eliminate these people here at once."

    In the two Blue Army formations on the opposite side, Ordo issued the order to start the war.

    His thinking is still on the way to deal with the Ming army, so he has made a big mistake now.

    That means that all the troops are not put into the charge at once.

    However, even if he devotes all his troops to the attack at once, there is nothing he can do to face the Empire's muskets and artillery.

    The two cavalrymen who received the military order separated from the army.

    Jay Chou saw all this clearly.

    "The army has entered combat mode and the enemy has begun to attack!"

    When the two blue flags took action, the team captains from the Song Empire began to shout loudly.

    Woo!  Woohoo!

    And in front of the two blue flag formations on the opposite side, the low sound of trumpets began to echo (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
