Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 215 Can the trap catch the real dragon?

"this is?!"

Wearing a cotton armor lined with blue cloth and steel sheets, Hou Tongzhou of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom held up a telescope to check the fortifications of the Ming army ahead.

Due to the large-scale steel production of the Ming Dynasty, even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is at war, can obtain a small amount of cheap steel produced by the Lantau Iron and Steel Plant through smuggling channels.

However, this kind of cotton and steel composite cloth face armor lined with steel sheets can only be equipped by the high-level officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

It would be good for the other soldiers to get a piece of iron cotton armor.

And what appeared in front of Ran Tianyuan at this time was the fortifications built by Luo Dingshan's two army brigades.

It's actually not complicated.

The trenches were dug, and the soldiers squatted in the trenches.

Then two barbed wire fences were pulled.

Ran Tianyuan looked at it in a daze, not knowing what kind of tricks the Ming army was playing.

Isn't it lined up on the wall, twenty steps to decide the outcome?

Why is it squatting and drawing now.

"Master Hou, that looks like a wire with nails hanging on it!"

The sharp-eyed soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom can already see clearly that what is wrapped around the stakes are rows of spiked iron wires!
"It doesn't seem very solid."

"Anyway, there are tens of thousands of people. It's just a wire and a few trenches. They can pass through in one rush."

"Yeah, as long as we rush over, won't the Ming army in the mud pit be killed by us casually?"

Look at the two barbed wire fences.

Ran Tianyuan frowned.

He is not as optimistic as his subordinates.

But I always feel that these two barbed wire fences are weird.

Although it shows that the army has already used barbed wire in Liaodong, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's intelligence network is very backward, so this is the first time they have seen such a weird defensive position.

"It's a bit weird, let's send a thousand riders to try it out first!"

Then Ran Tianyuan waved his hand.

A thousand government soldiers rode on horses and pressed into a ball.

Although the Fubing's combat will is very strong, the level of training is actually not very good.

The wall-style cavalry attack that advances like a wall cannot be hit.

They could only reluctantly gather together and rush forward.

However, relying on the well-made armor and the style of daring to fight and rush.

It is enough to deal with the regiment training and Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army.

Although the formation is not very strict.

But the mood of these elite soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven is quite relaxed.

It's just a wire, and there's a ditch behind it.

The Ming army behind the trench was loose and loose, and there was no formation.

How can such a loose infantry stop the cavalry from charging?
since ancient times.

Which Buke rides does not rely on strict formation and strict discipline.

Otherwise, thousands of troops and horses will rush forward, and the timid ones will throw away their weapons and run away.
And if there is no strict formation.

How can the loose infantry stop the horses coming, and the impact force of the horses and horses is hundreds of kilograms?

So when the horseshoes of the cavalry of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gradually became tighter, they trotted all the way until the speed gradually became faster.

They will know.

This battle, won.

And it will be easy to win!

"This Ran Tianyuan is really a fierce general who rushes and fights. It's a pity that he is still a little more cautious. If he sends [-] cavalry at once, maybe our barbed wire really can't stop him."

Ren Jiangliu laughed.

"It doesn't matter if you can't stop it. At worst, just retreat after a while and find a place to build a position." Luo Dingshan said, "Anyway, a thousand riders came. No need for barbed wire, rifled guns can kill them all."

His voice fell.

The more than 3000 dismounted and infantry dragoons arranged on the front line put their guns on the parapet of the trench, and each started aiming, but they did not fire immediately.

Now it is the 7th Dragoon Brigade.

It is a very old team.

The experience of fighting is naturally very rich, and of course knowing when to shoot has the best effect.

Moreover, there are two barbed wire fences across the front, which on the one hand give the soldiers a little more sense of security, and on the other hand can also be a good calibration object for the soldiers to judge the distance.

"Aim! Prepare!"

The company commander's password rang in Lu Fuhai's ears.

He was a Hakka hunter from northern Guangdong who was enlisted in the army on the battlefield of Nanxiong Prefecture in the first year of Liberation.

Because of his meritorious service, he has become a seventh-rank sergeant.

If it wasn't for the fact that he always failed the culture test, he would have been promoted to an officer a long time ago.

But not only the officers, but the seventh-rank non-commissioned officers are also incredible.

In the 7th Dragoon Brigade, no officer dared to call and drink Lu Fuhai casually.

The brigade commander of the 7th Dragoon Brigade saw Lu Fuhai voluntarily handing over cigarettes, and was worried that the soldier king would quit and apply for retirement and go home.

After all, Lu Fuhai has fought all the way north from the battlefield of Nanxiong Prefecture to the present.

First, the best [-] mu of paddy field was obtained in Yingtianfu, and [-] mu of paddy field was rewarded because of the third-class merit twice and the first-class merit once, and here it is only [-] mu.

If he applies for retirement now, he can still get about fifteen acres of military meritorious land.

It can be said that as long as Lu Fuhai retires now.

He will soon be the landlord who owns 75 mu of paddy fields near the central capital of Ming Dynasty.

With 75 mu of paddy fields in Liangjiang, this is definitely not a small landlord.

The price of 75 mu of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River is much more valuable than the dry land in the Central Plains of Shandong in Zhili, Henan.

Even if you don't farm the land yourself.

You can collect five or sixty yuan per year for rent.

This is something that Lu Fuhai never dared to think about before.

Of course, he still has seven years to serve as a soldier.

If you have not died after being a soldier for seven years.

Even if he did not perform any meritorious service in the past seven years, he still has at least one hundred acres of land to claim.

Now the family has also received Zhongdu, and planted the military merit field given by Emperor Zhu.

Just rely on this.

Lu Fuhai felt that it was definitely worthwhile for him to sell his life to Emperor Zhu.

The soldiers squatting in the same pit with him also had the same thoughts as Lu Fuhai.

Dozens of hundreds of acres of paddy fields.

Moreover, after serving in the army for ten years, he will have at least the title of a lord - although he does not have a noble annuity, he can vote in the county's political council.

One vote for voting.

This was completely treated by Emperor Zhu as one of his own.

For these veterans of the old troops of the 7th Brigade of the Dragon Cavalry of the Ming Army.

This is really the kiss between father and mother is not as good as that of Emperor Zhu.

Dozens of acres of paddy fields.

Can parents take it out?
Only the emperor can give it to the whole world.

And only the emperor of Ming Dynasty can lead everyone to keep this property.

The government soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven also divided the land, and the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty also had banner fields.

Can't keep it.

What's the use.

So whoever opposes Emperor Zhu.

Who is their sworn enemy.

Now these warriors who are absolutely loyal to Emperor Zhu, at least much more loyal than those civil servants and scholars, the sights of the rifled guns in their hands have already aimed at the cavalry rushing forward.

Such a tall target for cavalry.

Nature is easy to target.

Now everyone is just waiting for the opponent to get closer before shooting.

In order to ensure a more precise killing effect.

150 steps...

140 steps...

130 steps...

Lu Fuhai is silently calculating the distance.

The company commander beside him was also staring at the veteran.

As soon as Lu Fuhai took the lead to shoot, he immediately gave the order for everyone to shoot.

Snapped!
When the enemy approached the first barbed wire.

Lu Fuhai pulled the trigger suddenly, and for a moment, a Taiping Army officer who was rushing forward spurted blood on his chest, and fell from his horse.

"shooting!"

Immediately.

The sound of thunderbolt and lala guns rang out.

The bullets splashed forward like raindrops.

Like the sickle of death.

Shoot and kill a Taiping cavalryman.

The momentum of the Taiping cavalry's charge was also blocked by the first barbed wire. When they were in a dilemma, the intensive firepower caused them to turn around in circles and make a mess.

Such a violent blow made the scalps of these charging Taiping cavalry numb.

The barbed wire couldn't get through, so they had to stand still and get shot.

The cavalry who charged aggressively, finally withdrew in a hurry after leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

"This barbed wire."

Ran Tianyuan took a deep breath.

He could see the power of the barbed wire fence.

It's fine if it's just barbed wire.

But in conjunction with the rifled guns in the hands of the Ming army, they shot accurately and far.

It depends on the cavalry to break through the wire formation.
It is impossible unless great casualties are paid.

"Collect the brigade, why the hell does the Ming army have so many tricks?" Ran Tianyuan muttered.

But he wasn't in a hurry to attack.

because
The Ming army is looking for Liu Tianwang's Chinese army.

And the Taiping Army is also attracting the main force of Emperor Zhu.

Both sides set their own traps.

It depends on whose trap is stronger.

"We found Liu Zhixie's Chinese army!" Emperor Zhu, who had received the report from the front line, was so excited that he rubbed his hands.

"It seems that Liu Zhixie is planning to use Luo Dingyuan to surround the spot to fight for aid. It's just that he set a trap to catch wild deer, but he never expected that a real dragon came!"

Tao Biquan flattered a little, but he vividly described the current layout of the Taiping Army,
Help around the point.

Very unusual military deployment.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has assembled more than ten times the number of people.

Ordinarily.

He is indeed qualified to fight for help.

However, superiority in numbers is not equal to superiority in combat power.

Zhu Daohua stood up, and then called Li Sheng, the commander of the Guards Cavalry Brigade and one of the three hundred old brothers.

"The key to this battle lies in the horseback, Feiming, you have the confidence to defeat the enemy's [-] elite soldiers with [-] horses!"

Five thousand broke fifty thousand.

That's a ten to one troop comparison!

"Don't worry, your majesty, our cavalry is different from the cavalry of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The training methods, equipment, and horses are all much better!"

Li Sheng is a small man less than 1.7 meters tall. He is lean all over. His beard is shaved and his cheeks are sunken. He looks like a ruthless character. When he was in Europe, he learned the way of the European shock cavalry. After returning to the country, he observed and studied the combat mode of the Eastern Cavalry on the domestic battlefield.

It can be said that you have learned everything and mastered it.

"Okay! Our army doesn't care about other things in this battle, just go to Liu Zhixie's central army. Wherever his central army is, we will fight there!"

Emperor Zhu patted Li Sheng on the shoulder and said loudly.
