Wanli 1592

Chapter 651 It's Now!

Wang Hui put away a little bit of nostalgia, and resolutely carried out the orders of this Marshal Xiao who will always follow, taking his orders as the highest criterion.

Even if it was the emperor's order, he would not pay attention to it, as long as it was against the order of Marshal Xiao.

The northern captive cavalry entered the Ming army's ambush circle with a somewhat flamboyant look, lined up in several columns, and moved in an orderly manner. From time to time, they looked towards the hillsides on both sides, with vigilance in their eyes.

It has to be said that these northern captives have fought against Daming for hundreds of years, and it is not completely fruitless.

They have gone from rushing and fighting in the primitive era to having their own set of regulations. During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the nomads developed cavalry tactics to the extreme, and with the gunpowder of the Han people, they swept half the world.

After the Ming Dynasty expelled the northern captives, they plummeted and lost gunpowder and technology. However, they still had cavalry tactics, which caused the Ming army a headache. It is no wonder that the current Ming army is rarely willing to fight the northern captives on a large scale. The reason is that the casualties were relatively large, and the training and equipment of the Ming army itself were extremely poor.

Under such circumstances, rashly going to battle is tantamount to death. In many cases, the equipment worn by the Ming army is not even as good as the leather armor of the Beilu, and the quality of the sword may not be better than that of the Beilu. How can I dare to fight because I lack confidence?
The later the Ming Dynasty, the more it relied on the private soldiers of the frontier generals to fight, and the guards belonging to the imperial court had long been rotten and unbearable. Now at least 40.00% of the people fighting with Xiao Ruxun belonged to the generals of the towns Private soldier.

It is true that these people have considerable fighting power, but they are not soldiers of the imperial court. They listen to their own generals more than the imperial court, and the group of guard soldiers who belong to the imperial court sequence, whose grandma doesn't love grandma and grandma don't love them, don't mention how miserable they are.

That is to say, Xiao Ruxun fed them and clothed them warmly. Now many of them went to the soldiers of the Zhennan Army to ask if they could ask Governor Xiao to show kindness and take them back to the Zhennan Army as Governor Xiao's private soldiers. I really can't go on.

Many people said that they wanted to report their death in battle, leave the guard post with feigned death, and then enter the Zhennan Army to serve as a private soldier for Governor Xiao. Strong isn't it?

Every time I read this, Xiao Ruxun would lament the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, if Zhang Juzheng had not been in power for ten years with an iron fist and extended his life to the Ming Dynasty for 50 years, Xiao Ruxun should now be an independent warlord. It's time to go back to the era of the Three Kingdoms War.

Looking at these northern captives again, how can there be so many broken things?
It has to be said that their strength and advantages are sometimes worth learning from. It is not without reason that they are strong, and it is not without reason that they are passively beaten.Is the Tang Dynasty the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperous age of Kaiyuan obtained by lying down and dreaming?

Xiao Ruxun slowly drew out his sword.

The power of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the power of the Hongwu Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty were not achieved in dreams, they were achieved by killing with one sword and one blood.

How can a weak military become a powerful country? !
Rebirth from Nirvana!

It's now!

Xiao Ruxun straightened up and pointed his sword towards the sky: "Beat the drum!! Fire the cannon!!!"

The rumble of war drums sounded loudly, and the heavy melody played the battle songs of the Han nationality that have never disappeared throughout the ages.

Accompanied by the ancient battle song, the artillery began to roar.

The roar of a hundred Francophone guns was terrifying, and countless shells fell from the sky, ruthlessly piercing into the unsuspecting North Korean army.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Countless cannonballs exploded on the ground, gravel and lead flew randomly. At that moment, countless blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of people and horses, and took away countless lives in an instant. The shouts of people, the neighing of horses, the artillery The roar of these sounds intertwined together, playing an extremely gorgeous and cruel battlefield concerto.

But this is just the beginning.

The rolled logs and rocks that had been prepared long ago rolled down from the top of the mountain, rolling faster and faster. This ancient and effective method brought destruction and panic to the northern captives no less than artillery.

When the rolling logs and rocks fell, the lucky Beilu soldiers were just passed by, but the unlucky ones were hit right in front of the door, smashed into a puddle of meat sauce by a large stone, and died in a terrible state. , It can even scare the people around you crazy, and this kind of situation is not an exception, it keeps appearing among the Beilu army stretching for several miles.

This is also a beginning. The archers of the Ming army also began to release arrows. They aimed their arrows at mid-air. A greater force hit the ground, ruthlessly pinning some unlucky northern captives to the ground, and could take their lives on the spot.

Bows and arrows, as the earliest long-range strike weapons of the Han army that could effectively attack nomadic cavalry, have been passed down. Today, in Xiao Ruxun's army, due to the continuous improvement and popularity of firearms, the role of bows and crossbows is not very prominent. Sometimes, when the gunpowder runs out, the crossbow is still a very reliable long-range killing weapon.

It's the same now, musketeers need to temporarily hide their sharpness, and in order to inflict greater damage on the enemy, they need the appearance of crossbowmen.

The sudden appearance of the Ming army's long-range strike raid caught the northern captive army by surprise and caused heavy casualties.

Beilu never expected that there would be an ambush from the Ming army here. Although he was vigilant, he was not prepared. Xiao Ruxun's previous victories and defeats led Helitu's judgment astray, so in Helitu's thinking, This ring has never been ambushed here.

In Helitu's view, the Ming army will concentrate all its forces in Datong to fight against him. This is the only choice for the Ming army at present, but the Ming army is here to ambush?And he fought so fiercely? !

Boom boom boom boom———

The cannons of the Ming army continued to roar, the Francophone guns roared, and the Hongyi cannons also began to roar. Although Xiao Ruxun only had five Hongyi cannons in his hands at the moment, as long as they were used skillfully, five cannons could be used. Played a big role, the solid bullet and the blooming bullet hit the head of the Beilu together, bringing them a catastrophe.

"Boss! We have been attacked! We have been attacked! The Han people have an ambush!"

"Big leader! What should we do now? The Han people are in an ambush! We have been tricked!"

"The hateful Han people actually have an ambush!"

"what!!!!"

While a group of tribal leaders, big and small, around Helitu were exchanging ideas in a panic, a flower bomb exploded not far from them, and a piece of fragment hit the right arm of one of them impartially. One of his arms flew out, and blood spurted wildly from the severed arm, spraying blood all over the faces of the surrounding people.
