The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 556
Seeing the momentum of Jin Jiang's army, Long Zai knew he was defeated.

The most important thing now.

How to preserve the greatest strength in the hands of Jinjiang Jundu, especially what to do with the old brothers and the injured old brothers.

In an instant.

Countless thoughts came out.

How to make the most favorable choice depends on Longzaiqian's overall view and forward-looking.

A lot of suffering.

"Brothers, follow us."

Luo Da gritted his teeth.

The cavalry of the Jinjiang Army scattered over tens of miles of land, either driving out the rout, or finding a single small unit to stop them.

There are also a few larger teams to prevent the opponent from concentrating their strength.

Countless tentacles, each with a mind.

The cavalry squad that encountered Luo Da first, not only did not fight with it, but instead fled obliquely, not entangled with Luo Da.

The more Luo Da pursued, the more cavalry squads harassed him.

When he saw Huayan, he ignored these cavalry squads and rushed directly to Huayan's location, preparing to defeat the opponent's general first.

"Humph."

Dazzling and not stupid.

He fought for a long time, and his subordinates turned their backs on their backs, how could they be opponents of others.

He led two thousand riders under his command and left behind the broken soldiers who were chasing sheep, turned around and ran away.

Luo Da's horse preserved its strength, and although the dazzled horse rested for a while, it couldn't outrun Luo Da, thanks to the strong endurance of Jin Jiangjun's horse.

Now Huayan is like the queen of hyenas, avoiding the lions chasing after her.

The rest of the cavalry squad didn't even have to wait for the headquarters to unfurl the flag, they already surrounded them tacitly.

Looking down from the sky, it is a messy scene.

Most people can't see the situation clearly, they just feel dazzled.

Only the squads who were alone in it, under the leadership of the captain, performed their duties, not only did not lose order, but they advanced and retreated very skillfully.

"Whoosh whoosh."

The cavalry fired arrows at Luo Da's team from the flanks.

Some of the elite vagrant cavalry also let go of the reins on their horses and drew their bows with both hands to reflect.

If the fighting will of the refugee cavalry is not weaker than that of the Jinjiang Army, then in terms of organization and skills, it falls behind the Jinjiang Army.

Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers, average quality, or overall quality.

arrows.

The refugee army cavalry obviously suffered a disadvantage.

From time to time, some riders fell off their horses with arrows, and because of the stirrups under their feet, they were dragged by the horses for a long time, or they were shot directly at the horses.

Luo Da's speed dropped unconsciously.

Seeing that the chase was hopeless, he angrily ordered loudly, turned his horse's head and chased the cavalry around him who harassed him.

This kind of contest between cavalry.

It can only happen on the land in the north.

Not all terrains are suitable, but there are generally many plains in the north, which are suitable for cavalry combat, and the role of cavalry is too powerful.

And there are many rivers in the south.

No matter Huguang or Jiangnan.

On the fragmented land, there are rivers, lakes, mountains and forests everywhere, and the unevenness provides no favorable location for the large-scale use of cavalry.

Limited by terrain.

Large-scale cavalry transfer tactics, etc., cannot be used, and can only play a small part.

The battlefield can be supplemented with small cavalry.

But if you have to use cavalry on a large scale, it is not as good as infantry in the south.

In short.

The cavalry of the refugee army and the cavalry of the Jinjiang Army staged a cavalry confrontation in which you chased each other, divided troops and attacked each other, and you came and went.

Overall.

The two sides fell into anxiety.

War is not reckless.

Cavalry has a variety of flexible tactics.

Instead, infantry.

Because of the speed limit, it is not as good as the cavalry in general.

Luo Da wanted to use cavalry to hedge, relying on his own infantry who rushed to defeat the Jinjiang army's cavalry in a quick battle.

Huayan certainly didn't do what he wanted.

Even the dragon can't wait.

In front.

An army that has never been seen before, using extremely weird tactics, is gradually approaching the army formation of the refugee army.

……

The birth of any new tactics, there must be a group of fanatics.

Otherwise, how to break the old concept.

In World War II, Germany used tanks on a large scale, and adopted the rapid combat tactics of coordinated attacks, because there were a group of believers.

Unwavering commitment to this tactic.

Under the pressure of the absolute strength of the conservatives, they resisted all opinions and created a foundation for Germany to crush the traditional tactics of neighboring countries.

same.

The graduates of the Jinjiang Army, referring to the general's suggestion, explored the column tactics based on self-generated firecrackers.

This new tactic is also not recognized by the Jinjiang army.

Some people even accused military academies that in recent years, the military cadets trained had too many ideas, which was not good for the command of the army.

anyway.

Jinjiang Army is a new army.

"Dong dong dong."

Stepping on the beat of the drum, in the sound of the trumpet, they lined up in five rows, with thousands of people lined up in each row, and a row was hundreds of steps long.

"Wei."

Each step left foot.

The distinctive captain in the lineup raised high the command saber made by the military school to imitate the general, erected it on his chest, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Tattoo."

The sound of uniform footsteps actually reached Long Zaiqian's ears.

Is it the sound that I see with my eyes, so the sound I imagined, or the real sound that reaches my ears.

Long Zai couldn't take care of it anymore, and was watching with all his attention.

The refugee army has never seen this kind of death.

They drew their bows and shot arrows one after another, and the arrows fell from the air into thousands of "weak troops" who were not wearing armor.

Yes.

In the habitual impression of many people.

This kind of army that does not wear armor must be an army with extremely poor combat effectiveness and is not taken seriously. Most of them are local defenders or township troops.

I have never seen a field army without armor.

"Boom."

A young Jinjiang Army soldier fell to the ground, clutching his chest and face in pain.

The comrades beside him walked away in rhythmic steps without looking back, while the privates behind him bypassed him and took his place.

Being able to line up hundreds of paces and walk neatly on the battlefield shows the organizational ability of the officers and the elite of the soldiers.

He is obviously an elite, but he doesn't wear armor.

"Whoosh."

Another burst of arrows.

Soldiers of the Jinjiang Army fell down one after another, but they didn't even panic at all. They seemed to be monsters without emotions.

The high-intensity training allowed the recruits to form instincts.

honor and goods.

Let them have no complaints.

"They still haven't opened fire, and they are still walking towards us."

The captain of the refugee army murmured.

It is different from the imperial court.

For example, in the Jinjiang Army, the captain is a grassroots officer.

But in the refugee army, the position of captain is a mid-level officer.

Even the captain of the refugee army lost his sense of proportion, let alone the rest of the refugee army.

The black firecracker looks so scary.

Even the muzzle of the gun can be seen clearly.

"Stand... stop!"

"Boom."

Thousands of people stopped in unison.

"Lift!"

"Wow wow wow."

Ordinary matchlock guns cannot be used in rainy or wet conditions.

Moreover, when fighting, you have to drag a long lit fire rope, and it is easy to expose your location at night.

Self-igniting muskets are fired with flint flakes.

But there are some technical issues.

One is the source of flint.

There are not many flints in Dazhou, and they are full of impurities, resulting in an extremely low ignition rate. Pull the trigger to ignite the medicine chamber, and only one out of ten can be fired once.

Therefore, the imperial court also produced self-generating firearms, but they did not promote them. People still like matchlock guns.

The second is because of the problem of the spring, it takes a lot of force to pull the trigger, and the force is too concentrated on the index finger that pulls the trigger, which will interfere with the action of holding the gun.

And also because of excessive strength and recoil, the muzzle of the gun is easily raised.

The former problem.

Through overseas trade, a large number of high-quality flints were purchased from abroad. After continuing to carefully select them, the ignition rate was roughly resolved.

With the efforts of the Ordnance Department, the springs for self-generating guns were specially manufactured.

therefore.

Self-generated firecrackers began to equip the Jin Jiang Army.

New weapons, new tactics.

This kind of attitude, as if he was resting on his forehead, waiting for someone to shoot, and the oppressive atmosphere are so crazy.

When the bow and arrow came, no one knew whether it would land on his head.

There is always a bit of luck.

The elite soldiers can bear it.

But who can win over the dense muzzles that are so close at hand?

death.

There are many kinds.

The same death, but with different results.

"Mother!"

A refugee army couldn't help but yelled and hid back.

Not only him.

Many people subconsciously hid back.

A few or a dozen people can't affect the army formation, but dozens of people, the people in the front row are all hiding back, and it's over.

If you hide from him, he also hides.

hide and hide.

"Bang bang bang."

The sound of frying peas sounded rapidly and intensively.

Many migrant soldiers in the front row fell down.

The arrow hurts.

And the hot lead bullets exploded in the body, burning the internal organs to smoke. This feeling is unbearable, and anyone will lose strength and fall down.

at this time.

The casualties of the refugee army were far lower than the sacrifices of the Jin Jiang army's advance.

But the refugee army lost order.

And the second column of the Jinjiang Army stepped forward.

……

Looking at the collapse ahead, the dragon is not waiting.

Whether he can be a successor for the army depends on his younger brother.

No extra gimmicks.

"withdraw!"

While turning the rear army into the front army to quickly clear the way, he commanded the various ministries to evacuate.

His setup is fine.

But the heart is broken.

The phalanx of the Jinjiang Army on the opposite side was not impacted, but on the other hand, look at your own side.

First, the cavalry in the rear and the rout of our own side.

In front is the main force of the Jin Jiang army.

It took less than an hour for the two sides to contact each other.

The army of refugees collapsed.

Taking a deep look at the position of the opponent's coach, the dragon who was not panicked at all was in front of him, amazed at the opponent's talent.

Why would such a person be willing to serve under Tang Qing'an.

And Tang Qing'an.

How dare you hand over an army of more than [-] to this person to lead the army outside.

Long Zaiqian deeply felt the strength of Jinjiang Town's confidence.

Originally, it could not be said that Jin Jiang Town was not taken seriously.

But get in touch.

Long Zai suddenly woke up.

The strength of Jinjiang Town is far beyond his imagination.

Yourself.

May be careless.

"New king, let's go."

The cronies around Long Zaiqian had already prepared their horses.

this scene.

In the early years they got used to it.

It's just that their faces are full of frustration and reluctance now.

Yesterday I was still dreaming of the new king becoming the emperor.

Today it was defeated.

This gap.

It's hard for anyone to get used to.

But if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood.

Escape is the top priority.

"Let's go."

The dragon sighed in front of him.

Riding on the horses sent by his cronies, he brought hundreds of guards and started a big retreat.

The refugee army just collapsed.

Zhu Xiu immediately ordered that the Chinese army dispatch to pursue him, and he must make full contributions so as not to leave any future troubles and avoid future troubles.

……

Li Rifang did not retreat.

In order to avoid casualties, Jin Jiang's army pulled up the artillery that finally arrived.

"Boom."

Under artillery fire, Li Rifang completely collapsed.

Facing the encircling Jinjiang army, Li Rifang charged on horseback with a knife in hand, but was shot dead by Jinjiang army soldiers.

The remaining refugee soldiers lacked morale and courage, and chose to surrender one after another.

When Luo Da saw the situation in the base camp, he no longer entangled with the cavalry of the Jinjiang Army, but changed his tactics to cover the retreat of most of them.

at this time.

He turned into the cavalry of the Jinjiang Army to attack, but he blocked the cavalry of the Jinjiang Army.

In the past, he had been pursuing a direct collision, but now he didn't want to, and Huayan launched the charge instead.

A thousand Lancers gathered together, rearranged their formation, and charged.

A branch of the refugee cavalry, Luo Da chose to cover the large army, and some of the rest chose to retreat, and some chose to hedge.

The Lancers just charged.

The remaining enemy troops were handed over to the comrades in the rear.

Huayan led his troops to the direction of the most refugee troops, while Chen Yu swept away the rest of the refugee cavalry.

Zheng Gang responded between the two.

A tributary militia army surrendered, and another tributary militia army could not escape, and stood firm to resist pursuit, which caused a lot of trouble for the Jinjiang army.

It mainly affected the speed of the Jin Jiang army.

Li Bosheng had already sent the army down the mountain, and cooperated with the soldiers in the village to intercept the collapsed refugee army halfway.

Big win.

Great victory.

Gu Yingshi and the officials were ecstatic.

"The elite of the refugee army, we all underestimated him, but this time he defeated the refugee army by 20, fortunately, Zhu Jie's command is restrained."

There are quite a few officials from the Second Town accompanying the army.

Even Gu Yingshi didn't dare to slack off, and came to cooperate in person, and at the same time couldn't help but go to the front line.

Some officials praised Zhu Xiu.

"The general once said that Zhu's ability to restrain himself is Jinjiang town's magic needle for calming the sea. This statement is true."

Everyone, you say what you say.

More and more excited.

The main force of the 20 refugee army was defeated, and the whole of Henan was within easy reach.

Gyeonggi is already within the sphere of influence of the Jinjiang Army.

Shanxi and Shaanxi are lands without owners.

Jinjiang Town has already won the game.

Everyone is a hero.

"I'm only in charge of central dispatching. What happens on the battlefield depends on the bravery of the generals and soldiers."

Zhu Xiu took the situation on the battlefield into consideration, felt relieved, and quickly said politely.

He saw Huayan go after the leader of the vagrant army.

This kind of thing does not need him to order in person.

All the generals will not let this person go.

If they didn't catch it, even if they ordered it themselves, it wouldn't change the result.

"Next, you will be even more busy."

Gu Yingshi interrupted everyone's flattery.

"Henan has been governed by the rogues for more than half a year, and the results have been outstanding. You have seen it in other places. We can't lose to the rogues."

"The town envoy is right."

"I didn't expect that thief leader to be quite capable in governing the country. The people have so much heart for him, and they can't tolerate sloppy."

……

The dragon is trapped ahead.

Trapped on a dirt slope, there is nowhere to guard the surrounding area.
