Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 733

Guns and cannons have been used, and the tactical thinking is still in the era of cold weapons. This is the short board of the Mughal Empire. The show off just now is the habit of Tianzhu people to show off their personal bravery, flip back and roar to intimidate the enemy. This point has even been handed down to later generations. It can be seen from watching Indians parade that a motorcycle carried a platoon.

If you are also an Indian, you may think it is really scary, but in the eyes of the Ming army...

baffling!

Just like the U.S. fleet that opened the door to Japan, the shogunate sent a few big fat men to play sumo on the U.S. warships, trying to scare these guys with the ferocity of the samurai. As a result, the Americans were confused and gave back to the devil Stupid evaluation.

The dense and precise bullets from the skirmisher battalion in the front row hit the past, and the one or two hundred "fierce" soldiers of the Lord in front were knocked down, especially the heroic soldier who spewed fire just now. When I came out, there happened to be a 360-degree fire-breathing whirl.

The normal war procedure requires a warrior to single out, and he died all over the place in a daze. Obviously, the Bangladeshi commander was stunned, and the scene was cold for a few seconds, until the second round of ammunition was almost loaded, and the star was shot. Only then did a heart-piercing roar resound from the huge army formation of the Moon Sun Green Flag.

"Atak, Sorotis!"

As the imperial army that conquered the South Asian subcontinent, it does have its majesty. More than 3 cavalry rode their horses with whips and horses. Their heavy hoofs trampled on the dry land and raised smoke and dust all over the sky. The knife reflected the dazzling cold light, and howling and roaring that were not human voices came and went one after another.

The greatest power of the cavalry is not the irresistible impact when charging, but the powerful deterrent force when charging and its unparalleled mobility in this era. Looking at the charging of thousands of troops, even if they are as active as the Ming Expeditionary Army. The team composed of young veterans still makes their hearts beat wildly.

Especially rushing to the front, dozens of war behemoths were truly armed to the teeth, and the shiny armor reflected the panicked faces of the Ming army on the opposite side.

"put!"

The various commanders of the skirmish battalions in the front row, regardless of whether their subordinates had finished loading or not, shouted anxiously and fired a shot hastily. It was like bumping into a reef, another group of people turned their backs, but hundreds of people fell to the ground without affecting the galloping cavalry group. Amidst the whining roar, the Bangladeshi army kept roaring and rushing towards the Ming army.

However, the cavalrymen who were trampling around didn't even notice that there were a lot of long strings of glowing red things suddenly appearing under their feet.

After completing the arrangement and attraction, the leading infantry retreated directly along the edges of the hollow phalanxes one by one. The phalanxes that were striding forward stopped at this point. With more intensive drumbeats, the infantry hurriedly organized Formation.

Song Qingshu chose Li Dingguo as the commander-in-chief of the Huguang and Mughal expeditionary forces. It is not without reason. Today's huge 50 Ming army was almost brought out by Song Qingshu, and he also inherited his tactical style as a whole, such as Zhou Yuji, Li Tiezhu, Scar Face, even Liu Zongmin, in fact, the main tactic is to fight defensive counterattacks. It must be emphasized to occupy the battlefield first, pre-set positions, establish a solid defense, and then counterattack after defeating the enemy.

The battle of Yixing and the battle of Poyang Lake are all like this.

Among the huge Ming army, only Li Dingguo is considered an outlier. His series of battles in Southeast Asia were mainly offensive. He was a rare offensive talent in the Ming army. His troop casualty rate was not the lowest, but he always fought. The fiercest.

But the same is true of the actual battlefield. India is a country of location. Its mountains and rivers are only revealed on the map. Not every time you have the opportunity to preset the battlefield in advance to attract the enemy to fight. In this environment, Li Dingguo is much stronger than other generals.

But now, even if he believed in his commander, the active troops of the three divisions striding forward in the center still had their hearts beating wildly, and the hands holding the rifles trembled a little when they watched the giant beast attack.

But even so, these numb soldiers who had been trained for a long time still followed their officers' instructions. The front row prostrated on the ground, the bayonets pointed obliquely ahead, and the rear two rows stood up straight with their guns, squinting their eyes and aiming.

At this time, facing such a bold charge, Li Dingguo's heart was actually beating violently. However, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, he had no time to be nervous or afraid. He just held a pocket watch and watched The second hand on the top is counting rapidly.

"twenty!"

"fifteen!"

"ten!"

"five!"

On the ground, a bunch of red things were thrown by the skirmisher battalion. With the ticking of the second hand, the green smoke has almost dissipated. Some of them were stamped out by the horseshoes, but more of them burned into the red core. , as the voice fell in the penultimate second, the first one began to explode.

crackling crackling crackling!

Intense sparks seemed to ignite on the ground for a moment, and large swaths of thick smoke rang out, but the lethality of this explosion was very average. It couldn't even break off a few hairs on the horse, and it was thrown on the battlefield by Li Dingguo so solemnly. The ones on it are the most common firecrackers during the festive opening of Chinese weddings.

If it was in China, this appearance would not scare anyone. However, this is Tianzhu, these brothers have never seen firecrackers, not only them, but also war elephants!Suddenly four or fifty meters ahead of the formation, nearly hundreds of thousands of earth red explosions exploded, and the effect was simply dramatic.

In the fright of the firecrackers, the Arabian horses stopped running in horror, stood up, and slammed the knight on the back to the ground. This is not the most deadly. Driven by the mahout to charge forward violently, the Indian elephant also screamed and raised its trunk. In the fear of the mahout, it turned its heavy body around and fled backwards.

War elephants, with their huge size and unparalleled strength, have become the darlings of military commanders in the past. However, in history, war elephants are actually not so useful.

In a few seconds, the sound of firecrackers even drowned out the name of the Ming Expeditionary Army. It wasn't until the Ming army, whose ears were buzzing as the firecrackers exploded, turned around to see his commander waving his saber desperately forward, that he Suddenly enlightened, he suddenly picked up the rifle and shot forward.

After the two rounds of gunfire in the front row, the roar of the ears gradually dissipated, and the rapid snare drum sounded again. With the guns in hand, the ten hollow phalanxes marched forward again in neat steps, and they will compete with the chaotic Bengali cavalry for 60 meters. The battlefield distance is fully occupied.

The larger the army, the easier it is to be confused, not to mention the degree of tacit organization, the army composed of princes and nobles in these places is no match for the well-trained Ming army, and it is impossible to organize another charge, almost face to face with Li Dingguo Next to each other, the chaotic and panicked Bangladeshi cavalry had to fight hand-to-hand with the expeditionary army in a panic on their horses.

A cavalry without impact is a club!On the noisy and chaotic battlefield, the infantry of the Ming army on the edge lifted their bayonets with ease and happily, and directly picked off the Indian cavalry who had struggled to adjust the position of their horses. The battlefield was filled with screams of fallen cavalry for a while.

However, when he retreated into the formation at this time, Li Dingguo felt no joy at all. Instead, he raised his binoculars with great difficulty and looked towards the northwest...

　Our firecrackers are called Dadihong here, but I don’t know what they call them there.
