Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 185

For such a famous thing as the barbed wire, Boss Zhu must of course "invent" it.

In fact, the technical difficulty of this thing is not very difficult, especially in the Ming Dynasty when even railroad tracks can be laid, it is of course not difficult to get some barbed wire.

Moreover, in history, this thing was used by Americans for grazing, and it was only an accidental opportunity to use it in the military.

So when the starry night came, General Shengjing of the Qing court who arrived at the battlefield, and Lin Ning, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army on the Liaodong battlefield, saw two rows of simple barbed wire stretched apart, blocking the Qing army on the east and west sides. The barbed wire fence looked unreliable, so Lin Ning didn't pay much attention to it, but held up a telescope to observe the Ming army formation waiting for the Qing army to come up in Tieling Fort.

Not many cavalry.

At least there are no serious cavalry.

Just a few horse-riding infantry battalions. As the name suggests, this kind of horse-riding infantry is the infantry on horseback. They usually fight with black guns. When fighting, they still have to dismount and fight on foot.

The number of people is also the same as the intelligence.

What is the use of that thin fence?

Can the cavalry pass by as soon as they charge?
If they were facing other enemies, Lin Ning would have ordered the cavalry to rush forward.

But now that he was facing the Ming army, he had to be cautious, temporarily stopped his troops on the west side, and stopped at a distance of about five miles from the Ming army's battle formation together with Liuqianhuihuibabanner.

Lin Ning's arrival shocked the morale of the Qing army on the battlefield.

Tens of thousands of cavalry "surrounded" this group of more than 1 infantry of the Ming army.

Many Eight Banners officials are cheering.

"This time, I will kill thousands of them!"

"This is a victory that the country has never had since the rise of troops against the Ming Dynasty!"

"The Qing still has to rely on our Eight Banners outside the Guanwai."

"They have no choice but to run now. Lord Lin Ning led tens of thousands of cavalry, and they have a total of more than 1 infantry. How can they run!!"

for a while.

It can be said that the morale of the Qing army was greatly shaken.

Although in the pass, the Qing Army's Green Battalion, Green Banner, Packed Army, and even the Manchurian Eight Banners and Sauron cavalry were wiped out in tens of thousands, and almost all of them were defeated on the battlefield.

But as it is now, it is quite rare for tens of thousands of cavalry to surround more than ten thousand infantry of the Ming army who came from afar.

Even if it can't be wiped out.

With such a battlefield situation, how can we win a big victory?

Also arriving at the battlefield were Russia's Governor of Eastern Siberia, Lieutenant General of the Russian Empire Mikhail Kutuzov, and a dissident from the Russian Empire, an opponent of Her Majesty, and a scholar suspected of being a Russian traitor Alexander Ladise husband.

"Your Excellency, in front of you are the soldiers of the Ming Empire. How do they compare with your soldiers?"

Mikhail was also holding up a telescope to observe the Ming army ahead.

In a military stronghold that Mikhail didn't seem to be secure, it was quite well organized.

The discipline of the soldiers is very good, no matter what, they maintain a strict queue, with two in a row and three in a row.

The morale is also good, the nutritional status is also very good, the stature is tall, the body is strong, and the face is round and red, indicating that the supply of this army is very good, and the physical condition is much better than that of the garrison and Cossack cavalry in the Russian Far East. In Irkutsk, it often happens that soldiers don't have enough to eat.

In addition, the equipment of the Ming army is also very sophisticated, with a large number of artillery. Soldiers generally carry flintlock guns with bayonets inserted, and there are several wooden-handled grenades on their waists.

However, when facing the Qing cavalry, they did not seem to form a line of infantry, but instead got into a trench dug in advance.

A trench, two rows of barbed wire.

This is probably the fortification of the Ming army.

This is too crude?

thought Mikhail.

Just a row of Musketeers relying on the trench defense.

The cavalry will disperse as soon as they charge, right?
Although the Ming army's grenades and mortars have a strong firepower density.

But Mikhail still thinks that the Ming army in front of him is too big.

Thanks to Boss Zhu's invention.

Military revolutions are also taking place in Europe now.

In fact, if both sides are equipped with a large number of flowering ammunition, the tactic of queuing up and shooting will no longer be able to continue.

But it's a pity.

At any time, the army is a relatively conservative force in the army.

Even in the era when rear-loaded needle rifles have appeared in later generations.

Isn't there still an old stubborn soldier in the army who thinks that lying down or kneeling to shoot is a disgrace to the honor of soldiers, and insists that the soldiers under his command pat the team and forcefully go up to die with the swishing bullets.

So now the Ming army's equipment seems to be quite excellent in Mikhail's view, but there are too many things to discuss about the defensive layout.

"So thin? Can it be broken through by rushing directly?"

Heilongjiang General Shu Liang said.

Lin Ning shook her head: "Ni Ming has a lot of moths, let's not underestimate it, I'm afraid it's a scam!"

Jilin General Bao Lin also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you can't underestimate them. Why don't you ask someone to try it out."

"Let who go?"

Lin Ning looked at Huihui, who was wearing a gray cloth and torn cotton coat not far away, stretched his neck and looked forward.

"Let's go back to the Eight Banners to try it out!"

"It only came out after [-] shots?"

Peng Jun frowned.

"It seems that the Tartars are afraid of being beaten, and they dare not take such a big advantage."

Chen Jianhui said regretfully.

"Six thousand is six thousand. If they want to test it, they will test it and order the shelling, so that the more than [-] people of the Eight Banners will be bombed. This town wants to see if the tartars can hold their breath."

Peng Jun said with a sneer.

Now Lin Ning didn't dare to go all out, but the direct motive for them to lead the troops to the south was to pick up the more than 1 bannermen from Tunbao in Tieling, and at the same time, they might not have the idea of ​​​​seeing if they could take advantage of it.

Now the people who are digging and searching have sent [-] insignificant back to the Eight Banners to fight.

It's clear that he wants to be prestige without wearing a helmet.

So Peng Jun decided to bombard Tieling Tunbao. Anyway, he brought enough shells this time, so there is no need to feel bad.

But Lin Ning must feel distressed.

Because that is the people of more than 1 ancestors.

Lin Ning, who couldn't bear the death of the people of the ancestors, would definitely lose her composure, or else she would have to watch the people of the ancestors being bombed to death.

It's cruel.

Song Shane in Tieling Tunbao has not yet felt the cruelty coming.

He feels fine now.

Still inspiring the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers in the fort.

"All cheer up!"

"Let's stay in the castle, and if Shuiming comes in, we'll kill one, and we'll kill each other!"

"Our masters of the Eight Banners are afraid of who will come."

"There are tens of thousands of our troops outside, and now Shunming is surrounded, so let's hold the fort and give him a place to bloom!"

Some encouragement.

The confidence of the Eight Banners soldiers in the fort, and even the banner people who took weapons and formed a team, was unprecedentedly high.

If Shun Ming can be severely injured under the Tieling Fort, and Shun Ming's spirit can be dampened, then everyone in the fort will have credit for it.

At that time, the emperor will transfer the big guys into the pass and go to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, and there is no need to stay outside the pass to farm the land.

Everyone is the Eight Banners.

Why can the Beijing camp be able to carry cages and birds.

Those outside the customs have to hoe the fields.

"The military order is here, open up and fight! Have fun!"

The artillery battalion that deployed artillery positions on the front line was overjoyed.

"Commander Luo, you don't know, we used to pick and search every time we bombarded, how can we be so generous this time."

"Of course I searched before, but I probably won't do it in the future."

Luo Jinyue—in the army, he changed his name to Luo Jin, the commander of the 33nd company of the Dragoon Battalion of the 2rd Brigade.

Now he was ordered to cover the front artillery battalion.

"Why?" asked the battalion commander of the artillery battalion.

This young captain who became a company commander at a young age seems to have a pretty good family background.

Compared with a certain hero who followed the emperor to fight in Nanyang back then.

Maybe his father was a marquis.

Therefore, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion is also quite polite.

why?
Of course it's because the shells are cheaper.

He has been to the cannonball factory in Guangdong. The production line is industrialized, and tens of thousands of cannonballs are produced every day with ease.

The cost of shell manufacturing is much lower than before.

So now the Ming army can open up its cannons.

Otherwise, it would be a fortress with little strategic value like Tieling Tunpu.

It would be nice to have a round of shelling.

After a round of shelling, the big soldiers charged with muskets and grenades.

But now.

If you can fire a few more rounds of cannon, it is best that when the infantry comes out at the end, it is just to clean up the mess, then the battle will be much safer.

And the winning rate is also high.

In future wars, it will be a competition to see who can shoot more and shoot far.

Luo Jinyue thought.

But he also knew that this was not something that a small company commander of his level should know.

So he said with a laugh: "It's all guesswork. Even the emperor came in person in these battles to restore the Liao Dynasty. It is normal that the guarantees in all aspects are more sufficient than before."

"That's right..." The battalion commander of the artillery battalion nodded, and then violently spat out the cigarette in his mouth.

"Hurry up and prepare for shelling!"

I saw that the artillery battalion was already preparing for shelling.

Luo Jinyue also hastily ordered.

"Hurry up, go into the trenches, check your equipment, and get ready to fight!"

The dragoon battalion is equipped with rifled guns.

With the advent of miniature bombs that are easy to load.

The weakness of rifled guns that were difficult to load was resolved.

So now it's not just dragoon battalions.

Some veteran infantry brigades have almost all been fully rifled.

Another result brought about by rifled guns and rear grenades is that the Ming army now rarely uses the tactic of queuing up and shooting.

You can rely on the precise sniping of rifled guns at long distances.

Why risk the enemy's firepower and run to thirty paces to shoot?
Moreover, under the fire density brought by rifled guns, grenades, and mortars,

The Ming army did not need to rely on dense formations to pursue the density of firepower.

Therefore, the combat and training regulations of the Ming army have begun to be improved.

The tactics of squatting in the pit have begun to occupy the mainstream.

And this time.

The target of Ha Guoxing, who was ordered to attack, happened to be the area where Luo Jinyue's troops were located-the artillery position must be an important strategic target.

At this time, Ha Guoxing was also mobilizing his soldiers.

In fact, there is nothing to mobilize, they are all empty promises.

Because back to the Eight Banners was originally formed temporarily.

Not well equipped.

Bad treatment.

Now it is just used as cannon fodder to consume the defense line of the Ming army.

But Ha Guoxing is very energetic.

Because it wasn't him who was the cannon fodder.

Dye the red crown with thousands of lives.

Ha Guoxing has no psychological burden at all.

"The time has come to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty! Those who rush into the trench first will be promoted to two levels in a row, beheaded by the enemy's head by one level, and will be rewarded with ten silver dollars! Whoever shrinks back! Beheaded!!"

Very wide, the chaotic six thousand back and eight banners formed a large horizontal formation and were pressed forward.

No, this can't even be called a horizontal formation, but a square formation.

It was messy and loose.

Mikhail, who was watching this scene in the distance, muttered in his heart when he saw this scene.

"Soldiers with such stretched hips, but the other side doesn't seem to be very smart. It's just a trench with a row of soldiers forming a line of defense. How can such a line of defense withstand the impact of cavalry?"

"In this battle, the Qing army is going to win an unprecedented victory."
