Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 115 The Great Ming Iron Cavalry
The next day, [-] cavalry were ready for battle, and the front line was full of heavy cavalry. Not only the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were covered in armor, but even the horses sitting on them were all covered in armor.

And this heavy cavalry is also Chang Yuchun's confidence in this battle. Even if the general's cannon and flintlock guns are not effective, the power of this heavy cavalry is enough for Dorgon's men to drink a pot.

Not everyone in the Manchu Qing cavalry was covered with armor. Even the Eight Banners, the Manchu Qing did not have the luxury to cover everyone with armor, so the victory or defeat of this battle is still in doubt.

After Xu Da, Liu Bowen and others knew that all the [-] cavalry brought by Chang Yuchun were heavy cavalry, they were relieved for the most part.

Daming dispatched twice as many cavalry to cooperate with the fusiliers and infantry to encircle and suppress, all of which caused heavy losses to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Boren, this battle depends entirely on you!" Xu Da personally came to the cavalry camp to see Chang Yuchun off.

"Haha, don't worry, Marshal Xu, prepare good wine for us, and we'll have a drink with you when I come back." Chang Yuchun's laughter resounded all over the field.

As for the new equipment for the cavalry under his command, it was naturally arranged by the crown prince Zhu Biao for his father-in-law first. Zhu Biao also had a headache for his father-in-law who loved to take the lead in the charge. Even so, Zhu Biao could not stop Chang Yuchun Chang Yuchun would have been the first to refuse this act of leading the charge, otherwise Lao Zhu would not have to speak up.

Not only the new type of armor is given priority, but also the low-level pills refined by Dai Sigong and others give priority to the cavalry led by Chang Yuchun. After all, cavalry is the big killer on the battlefield before hot weapons are rampant, especially Da Ming is the most elite All the cavalry were in the hands of Chang Yuchun, and Chang Yuchun was leading troops to conquer the new world for Ming Dynasty, so Lao Zhu turned a blind eye and agreed to Zhu Biao's operation in favor of Chang Yuchun.

Lao Zhu and others agreed, and Tang He and others who stayed in the early Ming world naturally had no objection, so the latest weapons and armors were given priority to the Ming cavalry led by Chang Yuchun.

After Chang Yuchun bowed his hand to Xu Da, he didn't say anything more, just gave an order, and the whole army was dispatched, with [-] people covering the mountains and plains, let alone [-] cavalry.

And the Manchus had already led their troops to retreat yesterday, and the Manchu cavalry had already retreated to the vicinity of Shanhaiwei. If you look at it from the current map, it is the original area near Qinhuangdao, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.

Yesterday, the cavalry led by Chang Yuchun arrived in Funing City, and the spies sent by the Qing Dynasty naturally noticed it. Dorgon didn't need to ask, he knew that Daming was definitely going to fight with him, so he needed to find out A decisive battle in a place where the advantages of cavalry charge can be used.

At the same time, the distance should not be too far, the Ming army is not an idiot if it is too far, they galloped all the way in a foolish way, and they would definitely not fight directly with themselves without repairing, so Dorgon chose the position between Funing City and Shanhaiwei , Out of Funing City, go eastward for more than [-] miles, and the cavalry will not take too long to arrive.

The distance is not far, and the Ming Dynasty will not correct the whole army, but the state is definitely not as good as the Manchu Qing army waiting for work.

At the same time, it can also abolish the artillery on Funing City. This is what Dorgon valued the most. Compared with the previous ones, the power of Daming's artillery has been greatly improved. The artillery on Shanhaiguan Pass is not as good as Funing With the mightiness of the city, Dorgon naturally had to find a way to abolish this great threat.

As for the firecrackers, if the hundreds of thousands of cavalry charged, they would not be able to exert much power. They would go on and on, and it would not take long for them to rush to the front of the flintlock team. At that time, the flintlock in their hands would not even be as good as a firestick Easy to use, Manchu cavalry can easily carry out massacres.

It's a pity that the final result may disappoint Dorgon. Xu Da tried his best to damage the general cannon, and dismantled all the general cannons in Funing City. Chun had already set off before departure, and in order to avoid Dorgon's spies, he not only sent people to clean up the spies in front of the artillery transport team, but also took the small roads, avoiding all the main roads.

If an easy road capable of transporting the General's Cannon and a rough and difficult path were placed in front of Tang Shengzong, Tang Shengzong would choose the narrow path without hesitation, in order to ensure that the General's Cannon could be transported without leaking any news. To the distance that can hit the Manchu cavalry.

The maximum range of the General Cannon can reach ten miles, and the maximum range of maintaining accuracy is five miles. It was used for defending the city before, and the super long range of the General Cannon was not brought into full play. This time, it will be given to the Manchu cavalry It was a surprise, let them see how terrifying the power of old Zhu Qin's Ming Dynasty's state-defending artifacts are at this stage.

With 10,000+ cavalry arrayed on the opposite side, the general's cannon does not need to pursue any accuracy. As long as the range is enough, you can fire casually and make no mistakes in the general direction, and you can bring the greatest damage to the opposing cavalry. That's why the generals of Ming Dynasty will Such careful transportation of the General Cannon, even in order to prevent leakage of information, not only sent someone to clean up the horse on the opposite side, but after cleaning it, they were careful not to take the main road, but turned to the side road, in order to give the opposite side a surprise.

I just don't know what Dorgon will look like when he sees that his own army has suffered heavy casualties before the cavalry of the two armies charged.

At the same time, the fusiliers in the city were not idle either. The fusiliers set off at the same time as the cavalry, but the cavalry was faster than the infantry, and the fusiliers were Xu Da's backhand who arranged to block the fish that slipped through the net on the opposite side. If he can win, Xu Da will fight to keep all the opponents behind. If he loses, the fusiliers can also delay the time for the opposing cavalry to reach Funing City.

As for the last [-] infantry, Xu Da did not order the infantry to follow the cavalry led by Chang Yuchun to the direction of Shanhaiwei. Instead, they stayed in Funing City, doing the work of cutting down trees, breaking bridges, and destroying roads. .

The completely blocked roads and damaged bridges will be repaired after Chang Yuchun returns from victory. If Chang Yuchun also loses, these [-] infantry will be the last line of defense.

"Master Liu, do you really stop thinking about it?" Xu Da looked at Liu Bowen, who looked like an old god, and asked again.

"Xu Shuai, needless to say, before General Chang came, I, Da Ming, had the power to fight. Although the outcome is hard to say, now that General Chang has come, he also brought fifty thousand heavy cavalry. I don't think Da Ming will lose. I will definitely not lose." Liu Bowen smiled and rejected Xu Da's idea of ​​letting Mu Ying escort him to the capital of Daming in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Haha, under an even match, I, Ming, will never lose. Let's see what kind of surprise Boren can bring you and me this time. The strength of the soldiers in his army has improved rapidly these days!" Xu Xu Da Da was filled with emotions, and at the same time felt that Chang Yuchun was a wise and foolish person, who actually let his daughter make a marriage contract with Zhu Biao before the superior had achieved great success.

You know, this is a marriage contract that Lao Zhu and Empress Ma personally agreed to. Now that Lao Zhu has established Daming, once the eldest girl of Chang Yuchun's family marries Zhu Biao, she will be the concubine of Daming.

Crown Princess, there are not many people in Ming Dynasty whose status is higher than hers. Thinking of this, Xu Da thought of his little girl who was only seven years old. She hadn't seen her for a long time. I don't know if she has grown taller. Are you fat or thin now?
