The thirty-eighth chapter of the common servants and the gentleman's golden drums (twenty-two)
His plan sounded a bit bold, but it was really feasible to think about it carefully.
Use infantry to hide cannons, and when the Yue people approached, they suddenly fired volleys. In fact, they used these small cannons as muskets, and used the formation of the Yue people to instantly destroy the Yue people to create a deterrence. Most of the Yue people on the right wing were some of the previous defeated soldiers.
Relieve the threat from the right wing and then use infantry to defend the front to support it.
The brigade coach of the Sixth Brigade thought for a while and said, "I thought we would also be in a thick step formation here, just hold on to the left wing and surround it."
Six fingers said repeatedly: "It's waste of resources, it's waste of resources! The brigades on our right wing are all above the armor during the assessment. Why do you have to put them into thick arrays and throw them away the advantages of our arrays and marching like the wind?"
"Our formation is already dense. If we set up a thick formation, the Yue people might not be able to rush away us, but all the enemies are all from all directions. If we set up a thick formation, the artillery will not be able to perform. After the musketeers fired twice, they could only use short swords to cover the side of the stair formation... We are different from the brigades on the left wing, we are 40% musketeers."
He understood the role of these brigades that were reformed by the military. He had learned a lot before, and it can be said that they were all talking about the military on paper.
But talking about war on paper may not be useless, or a person who talks about war on paper is far better than never talking about war. Especially since the composition of these brigades is unprecedented, there is no saying that practical experience crushes people who talk on paper.
The battle was about to happen, and after discussing it, these people agreed with Liuzhi's idea.
At this time, we can also notice that the central army of the Yishi Division is also slowly and unremittingly moving slightly to the right side to increase the defense of the right wing and the joint of the central army.
If you are strong and positive, although the elite gentleman army of Yue people has not yet fought with the righteous army, the psychological advantages accumulated before have made these people naturally believe that if you are strong and positive, the righteous army will not be afraid of any strong army in the world.
Then the only threat is the right side, and when someone is surrounded by someone, there will be danger. Liu Finger's proposal is also aimed at this matter, using attack as defense, and using a single hit to remove the threat on the right side.
Immediately, the 7th Brigade where the Six Fingers were located was arranged on the right according to the agreed results.
Behind the Spearman Company, there were fifteen reloaded cannons hidden, and they did not participate in the bombardment of the Vietnamese army formation and the suppression of the archers.
The two spearmen companies on the front of the artillery are the two best spearmen companies in the assessment in the 7th Brigade. They formed a slightly sparse formation according to the orders. Once the enemy approaches, they should quickly concentrate to leave a shooting perspective for the small cannons behind.
The musketeer company where King Shu Qing was located was assigned to the left of the 7th Brigade. According to the plan, if the Yue people collapsed, they were the musketeer company chasing them with the spearman company: this time the pursuit was to chase the broken Yue people without a chance to reassemble them. Mo Zi attached great importance to this in his city defense technique. He also made it clear during training that although there were many defeated troops, they actually had no combat power. If you chase them hard behind, the defeated troops that could not reassemble were a bunch of loose sand, and a dozen people could catch up with hundreds.
This kind of thing was originally done by cavalry, but the Yishi's cavalry totaled 500, and this kind of thing could only be done by the only two types of infantry.
The snare drums of the Yue people sounded, and the Shuqing King couldn't tell who these Yue people were, or which doctors they belonged to, or whether they were the Gentleman Army or the priests. In his opinion, there seemed to be no difference.
It is said that Yue people are brave, but in the previous offensive battle, it can be seen that Yue people's bravery is just that.
Once this psychological advantage is established, the panic will disappear.
It was clearly stated before the war that they were just fishing bait. After the fishing was successful, they would turn from fishing into an anvil in the blacksmith shop in Peixian County, and the left wing of the Yishi was a sledgehammer that made the iron.
Since it is an anvil, it is naturally harder than a stone.
Look at my company. This offensive battle, there were only three injured in my company, which did not affect the battle.
There were few injured people in the spearman company next to him, because there were no close combat at all. The previous six brigades had nearly nine thousand people. The main force of the Yue people was not on the opposite side of the right wing at first, and they used nine thousand elite troops to fight ten thousand Yue people's soldiers, and also supported muskets, cannons and cavalry. It was like a hot iron knife to cut the pickled lard from the soldiers' marching rations.
Now their task is the Yue people on the right. Since the positive things have nothing to do with them for the time being, King Shu Qing would not find a way to take a step to see what happened in the front where the drums sounded loudly.
He just stared at the Yue people in front of him.
Most of the Yue people who were defeated in the battle before, if the cavalry of the Yi Division were sufficient, or if they were thinking of breaking through on the right wing, these Yue people would no longer have the chance to enter the battle.
But now the King of Yue gathered them back together, and it seemed that there were a large number of people, and it was impossible to count how many of them were.
The Yue people started to activate the drums, and these Yue people began to approach. In front of them, they were led by nobles, who were riding in a car or fighting in the field and holding swords, slowly approaching the position of the Shu Qing King.
They didn't dare to rush ahead of time, and they were finally smarter.
Fortunately, the order issued by the Seventh Brigade was to strictly prohibit shooting in advance, but to wait until the Yue people approached about thirty steps and fired together, relying on artillery to defeat the Yue people in one fell swoop.
Without artillery bombardment and musket shooting, these Yue people seemed much more neat than before, and their drums kept approaching the long formation of the Seventh Brigade with the rumbling drums.
King Shu Qing calculated the distance and finally waited for the sound of his flute, and shouted at the same time with Yu Tu, one left, one right, one front and one back: "Rise the gun!"
While shouting, he also raised the musket hard, carefully checked the fuse, and then half-squatted on the ground.
This time, in order to defeat the Yue people at one time, the Seventh Brigade had a big bet, and the musketeers were arranged in three rows, relying on a round of volleys and artillery hidden behind the spearmen, they defeated the Yue people in one fell swoop.
After King Shu Qing squatted down, the soldiers in the second row stood in place and raised their guns, while the soldiers in the third row moved a little backward, just taking advantage of the "disadvantages" that must be big between the gaps between the convex gunners, and they can hit the enemy but cannot hit themselves.
In the previous brief battle, these musketeers had adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield. The accumulated psychological advantages also made them believe what they learned in their daily lives: living towards death, it seems that the closer they are, the more dangerous they are, but the closer they are, the greater the chance of hitting the enemy, and the more dangerous the enemy, it depends on who will sacrifice their lives, and who will eventually cherish their lives.
As Yue people got closer and closer, King Shu Qing's musket was lifted more and more resolutely.
…………
The Yue people on the opposite side felt a little lucky.
They were scared by the righteous master before.
In the previous offensive battle, artillery fired volleys, muskets fired, and then spearmen attacked, and cavalry flanks rushed and chased...
The six charity masters on the opposite side used the most luxurious configuration and beat the weakest wing among the Yue people. They really collapsed in an instant when they met.
Many people in Yue didn't know why they ran away before.
I saw that my friends around me had fallen into pieces in an instant. The dead were terrible and the surviving ones were panicked. I don’t know who turned around and fled first, which triggered more people to escape, just thinking about staying away from this group of people.
A little further away from the strange thing that would fly out of the iron meatballs.
But now, I am much lucky.
The things that could fly out of the iron balls were bombarding elsewhere, and the Yishi I faced was dead and there was no movement.
Many Yue people thought, don’t let those iron balls be smashed, as long as they don’t hit me.
They had been moving forward timidly for a while before, without any danger.
When they approached until they were only seventy or eighty steps, the Yishi Master's front was still as quiet as death, as if the fighting on the other side had not affected these people at all.
When they finally advanced to fifty or sixty steps, the Yue people finally felt relieved, and the courage they had lost was gradually reborn. The nobles shouted with swords and waved their flags, ready to attack.
After the first few Yue people ran up, they suddenly found something was wrong.
The distance between fifty and sixty steps will actually arrive very quickly once the impact starts running.
The few Yue people in the front found that the spearmen of the charity master opposite them were originally loose, but suddenly a strange sound of horns came from the opposite side. The loose spearmen quickly moved to one side, revealing the entire row of black holes behind.
In the sun, the copper cannons reflected a green luster, the torches held by the charity gunners, and the braziers placed behind the cannons to burn red iron drills, the eyes of these Yue people burned.
"It's over!"
The Yue people who rushed in front saw the black hole aiming at their muzzle, and suddenly thought of the fear of the previous battle. He had seen his partner's head break directly by this thing.
The courage to attack this time was due to their thought that these terrifying weapons were bombarding other places, but they did not expect that they would appear in front of them now.
And so close, so many.
The Yue man in front almost subconsciously lay on the ground, covering his head with both hands. This was easy to be trampled to death during the impact, but he would rather be trampled to death than be smashed by Tiemao.
The few people beside him turned around and ran away, shouting wildly: "Run! Run!"
Just as the Yue man who was subconsciously lying on the ground was lying on his head with his head down, fifteen cannons filled with gravel small iron balls opened fire at the same time.
The sound of the cannon was also a signal that the musketeers fired, and the three-person row of musketeers also pulled the copper hook at the same time.
Lead bullets, gravels, iron balls... all of this is burned by gunpowder, and with the speed of reaping life, it forms a piece of rain that cannot be washed away. Rain composed of lead bullets and iron balls.
With a distance of thirty steps, you can hit someone even with your eyes closed.
With a volley, Yue Ren instantly knocked down more than 500 people, and many of them were in the fan of the fifteen small cannons.
The deaths of five hundred people may not be too many than the battlefield of ten thousand people, but if these five hundred people die at the same time, the shock brought by them will be endless.
The Yue army formation, which was originally somewhat of a certain formation, instantly showed a huge gap, which was even looser than before.
War requires formation. Without formation support, it is a group of loose sand.
War requires morale. In fear, even the nobles are no match for a strong disciple.
