The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 651 The Tactics of the Guan Ning Army

Finally, under the cover of artillery fire, the main force of the infantry of the Ming army launched an attack on Huangzhou City.

The ear-piercing charge sounded, and the elite soldiers of the Ming army began to attack the city, heading towards Huangzhou City.

At this moment, the entire Ming army noticed that the ground was trembling!

Looking along the source of the sound, they saw Guan Ning's fine cavalry entering the battlefield again.

The cavalry galloped towards the flank of the Ming army preparing to attack Huangzhou City.

Seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Ming army also entered the arena again, and they went up to meet them without giving in, ready to fight with the cavalry of the Guanning army!
boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!

When the shelling sounded, part of the naval guns of the Ming army quickly adjusted their shooting, and aimed their guns at the cavalry of the Guanning Army who had entered the battlefield.

Amidst the sound of shelling, gunpowder smoke filled the air!
A round of solid shells packed with terrifying kinetic energy and shot towards the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army.

After the shell hit the ground, it rolled and spun, smashing out blank areas in the Guan Ning army formation.

In the blank area, blood was splashed, and stumps and broken arms were everywhere!
Whether it is a man or a horse, whether it is armored or not, it is as fragile as paper in front of shells.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry array of the Guan Ning Army was smashed to pieces one after another by shells.

A large number of war horses were frightened and ran around, neighing rhythmically, which made the cavalry array even more chaotic.

Even Wu Yingqi himself was full of fear.

Because just now, a shell brushed against his body, smashing the morale of a Guan Ning army behind him to pieces.

Blood and broken bones splashed all over him!
Wu Yingqi will never forget the oppressive feeling of the shells whizzing by, as well as the scorching and oppressive feeling carried by the shells!

Wu Yingqi's palm holding the horsewhip trembled slightly, and the fear on his face was so intense that it couldn't be resolved.

Just now!

Just now!

He, Wu Yingqi, almost died.

It was only a little short, but if the shell was a little bit higher, Wu Yingqi would be the one who was smashed into a meat paste by the shell.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Ming army roared into the battlefield.

Charge towards the flank of the Guanning Army cavalry!

Seeing this scene, Wu Yingqi quickly freed himself from the fear, and gave an order.

"retreat!"

Wu Yingqi is not stupid, he knows what to do when.

Now the formation of our own cavalry is in disarray, and under the shelling of the Ming army, the morale is still very low. How can it be the opponent of the Ming army cavalry who is boiling and roaring to kill?
You know, the cavalry of the Ming army is only bad at riding skills, but their combat effectiveness is not bad.

If you don't withdraw now, what are you waiting for? !

After waiting for the two sides to fight, are they defeated by the Ming army and then killed?
As the cavalry of the Guan Ning Army withdrew from the battlefield, the cavalry of the Ming Army quickly returned to their own camp after conducting a proper pursuit and causing certain damage to the Guan Ning Army.

The current Ming army has no intention of fighting with the cavalry of the Guanning army!
After all, as long as they advance steadily along the Yangtze River, they can win the victory, so why bother to fight the waves of the Guanning Army?
However, before the Ming army had been complacent for a long time, Wu Yingqi led the Guan Ning army to kill again roaring.

This time Wu Yingqi learned the lesson of concentrating his forces and being bombarded by the Ming army's naval guns. When launching an attack, he ordered the superior cavalry of the Guanning army to be dispersed.

With scattered small forces, they continuously raided the camp of the Ming army!

It is not necessary to cause much damage to the Ming army, as long as it can affect the Ming army's siege.

……

Standing on a high platform, He Wenxiu, the main general of the Ming army's western expedition, frowned slightly as he watched the situation on the battlefield.

Before He Wenxiu took command of the Western Expedition this time, he was once Zhu Hongyu's head of the imperial guards.

After Li Guangyuan was dismissed by Zhu Hongyu, he was the one who took over.

After the launch of the Western Expedition, He Wenxiu voluntarily resigned from the post of commander of the Imperial Guard Division, and asked Zhu Hongyu to be the head coach of the Western Expedition.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Hongyu agreed and appointed him as the coach of Xizheng.

As for the appointment of He Wenxiu as the coach of the Western Expedition, will it have any impact on the Western Expedition?
In fact, Zhu Hongyu is not worried.

He Wenxiu is not outstanding in all aspects among the current generals of the Ming army, but his greatest strengths are obedience, loyalty, and a very cautious personality.

What you need to know is that when the Ming army goes out to fight now, its army command procedures are different from those of the traditional feudal army.

The military command of the Ming army is not just the commander in chief, the staff group and political commissar also have a great say.

Even in many cases, the military's decisions are made after consultation with the staff group!

All the coach has to do is to order the deployment of troops.

In other words, for the current Ming army, the staff group is the real brain of the army.

The coach is just a mouth responsible for delivering orders!

Just listen to advice!

Generally speaking, as long as the coach acts according to the suggestions given by the staff, there is a high probability that there will be no accidents.

Therefore, for the current Ming army, although the ability of the coach is still important, it is not as important as a professional staff group.

Furthermore, He Wenxiu's ability is not bad either. Before he took over as the commander of the Imperial Guard Division, he also experienced on the battlefield.

Let him be the coach of the Western Expedition, Zhu Hongyu is quite at ease!

"Now Guan Ning's army's intentions are very clear. They don't plan to confront my Ming Dynasty head-on. They just want to slow down my Ming Dynasty's advance speed through harassment!"

"Do you have any opinions on this matter, or a solution?"

He Wenxiu's fingers lightly tapped the cover of the pocket watch in her hand, the expression on her face was full of obvious worries.

The reason was because he knew that the reinforcements from the Guanning Army led by Wu Sangui had entered Henan and were advancing towards the Nanyang Basin along the Fangcheng Ancient Road.

As long as they pass through the Nanyang Basin, the Guan Ning Army led by Wu Sangui will not be far from Wuchang!
Originally, the Ming army's attack on Wuchang was a sure thing.

He didn't want to wait until Wu Sangui led his troops to Huguang. They hadn't been able to take Wuchang yet, and captured the entire Huguang for their own side, increasing the difficulty out of thin air.

"Our army needs to speed up the progress!"

"If we can't capture Wuchang City before Wu Sangui leads his troops to Huguang, then it will be regarded as adding difficulty to my Ming's strategy of Huguang."

"At that time, even if my Ming Dynasty can win, it will inevitably cost more money, food and weapons!"

He Wenxiu said.

Behind him, the members of the staff group also started to discuss.

"The intention of the Guan Ning army is very clear now, it is to delay my Ming Dynasty's offensive pace by means of sporadic attacks!"

"Indeed, this statement is not bad, but although Guan Ningjun's intentions are clear, it is also true that my Ming Dynasty has no good solution."
