Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 157 Strategic Purpose
All the sergeants, all singing in unison.

This song seems to have a magical power, the singer's blood is surging, as if all dangers and difficulties are nothing.

Those who listen to the song are also emotionally excited.

The city guards looked at the team that drove out of the city, and they felt so beautiful.

Shen Chen was a little dazed.

Forget about the strong army before, that was Zhao Cheng's team.

What's going on with these Huai'an troops?

How many days have they been with Zhao Cheng?
How did it become like this!

What magic power does this Zhao Cheng have?
……

"We have eaten five niulu in Zhenglanqi, plus the one in Qiangdi before, we have already eaten six of them.

Mang Gurtai's temperament is very irritable, and he will definitely not let it go after suffering such a big loss.

He can't let it go.Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to be the banner owner.

Life is hard for Mangurtai now!This Tartar has no humanity. In order to please his father, he killed his own mother. He is also looked down upon in the Tartar camp, and no one supports him except Zhenglan Qi. "

Zhao Cheng was holding a large tea mug in his hand, and his other hand was on his hip.

At first, he meant to imitate the great man, but after he got used to this action, he found that it was very addictive!

Another cigarette...

In this extremely stressful battlefield, it is really decompressing.

In the big tent, clouds and mist lingered.

This is a characteristic of the high-level meetings of the strong army.

Zhao Cheng doesn't prohibit anything, everyone is allowed to smoke.

"In order to please his father, he killed his mother? Tartars are really inferior to pigs and dogs!"

Li Erdan cursed.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone is smiling.

"Savages! Tartars are called Jian slaves. In fact, the current Eight Banners are not just Jianzhou Tartars, they just started in Jianzhou.

The Jianzhou Tartars have more contact with our Daming, and they are relatively civilized.The wild boar Pi Nurhachi even served as an official of our Ming Dynasty.

However, the number of Jianzhou Tartars was too small. During the process of expansion, they absorbed many Jurchen savages from the white mountains and black waters.

Those savages are all uncivilized in the mountains and forests.But their ancestors hunted, so they are very good at archery.

If we don't live up to our expectations, if we can't beat those savages, we will be enslaved by those bastards.

There will even be many people vying to be their slaves, and they will be proud to call them masters. "

Zhao Cheng's tone was a bit heavy.

Because what he said was the truth.

"Damn! Even if I die, I won't recognize those savages as masters!"

"Yes! With adults here, we can't lose to those savages!"

"..."

All the generals shouted one after another.

"Don't worry! Our strong army is getting stronger and stronger. That kind of history will never happen again."

Zhao Cheng's voice was firm.

"This time, let's eat Zhenglan Qi first. This Mangurtai had a conflict with the slave chief Huang Taiji before.

They are two brothers, but Mangurtai almost drew his sword and cut Huang Taiji at a disagreement.

Huang Taiji is the Great Khan of the Tartars, he must have wanted to kill Mang Gurtai a long time ago.Mangurtai knew this too.

Therefore, he will not give Huang Taiji an excuse.Zhenglan Qi suffered such a big loss this time, he must have lost face.

He has reason to have to take the initiative to attack as soon as possible.This is our fighter.

You also have to remember, you can't be impatient on the battlefield, once you are impatient, it is easy to do bad things. "

Zhao Cheng took the opportunity to give a military lesson to his soldiers.

"My lord doesn't go out in a strong place, how does he know about these things about the Tartars? Even the leader of the Tartar Banner knows how to please his father and kill his mother!"

These young officers all looked at Zhao Cheng with admiration.

"Your Excellency is a Bodhisattva from heaven! Of course you know everything." Niu Dali took it for granted.

Zhao Cheng chuckled and didn't explain much.

The current strong military government needs a cult of personality.

"You must remember that our strategic goal in this battle is to injure Zhenglan Qi as much as possible! It is best to completely maim Zhenglan Qi.

So, at the beginning we have to attract them to attack us..."

Zhao Cheng talked eloquently about the strategic arrangement.

Before the battle, let the soldiers know why they are fighting, what kind of battle needs to be fought, and what kind of results must be achieved to be satisfied...

After the pre-war mobilization meeting, Zhao Cheng began to set up the battlefield.

First of all, he chose a high ground that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a position.

Then, began to deploy a large number of anti-tank horses and electric cat and mouse traps around the high ground...

The small position was arranged by him like an iron bucket.

Zhao Cheng exchanged for a few more Napoleon cannons, plus the previous ones, making up a total of twenty.

There are more than 300 of them, and the number of artillery has reached as many as [-]. This configuration of heavy firepower is definitely very powerful.

The Napoleon gun is characterized by strong mobility, fierce firepower, and can fire various types of ammunition such as solid bullets, flowering bullets, shotgun shells, and shrapnel shells.

To say the disadvantage is that it consumes too many manpower.

A Napoleon cannon has eight gunners at full strength.

This does not include vehicles, coachmen, etc. for transporting artillery and shells.

When fighting, it is commanded by a gunner, who is the so-called gunner.

When the artillery is erected on the position, the gunner also needs to control the front vehicle, which is generally located about 20 steps behind the artillery line.

In combat, all eight gunners have specific responsibilities, and they have to undergo long-term and arduous training to perform their respective responsibilities in an orderly manner in difficult combat environments.

During the training of Qiangdi, a group of gunners were trained.

Skilled gunners should be able to continue to play a role when there are only two people left, provided that they cannot flee from their posts due to fear.

In some cases, the artillery was able to function when there was only one gunner left, thanks to effective training and the bravery of the soldiers themselves.

The gunner training time of the Qiangdi Army is too short, and the actual combat experience is insufficient, so Zhao Cheng dare not casually reduce the number of personnel.

Each of the twenty Napoleonic guns was fully loaded.

Under the supervision of the gunner, 4 gunners loaded the ammunition and fired the artillery, and the other 3 gunners prepared the ammunition and moved the ammunition from the front vehicle to the artillery.

Good cooperation can ensure the rate of fire of the Napoleon cannon reaches two to three rounds per minute.

This rate of fire is terrifying.

Zhao Cheng is going to teach Zhenglan Qi a profound lesson here.

Just when the Qiangdi army had just been deployed, the Zhenglan Banner army arrived.

From a distance, the dust can be seen steaming.

The sky was full of yellow sand, as if a sandstorm had been rolled up.

After the Tartar vanguard arrived, they did not launch an attack immediately, but stopped outside the range of the artillery, and faced each other far away.

Then, several teams split out to encircle in all directions.
