Perhaps because of the news before, the two Tatar cavalry directly encircled 20,000 elite tigers and leopards before the war to form a temporary defense line, and then it was like a hunter quietly lurking in the mountains of Liaodong, waiting for a fighter plane to appear.
As the whole encirclement and suppression campaign passed day by day, thousands of Tatar cavalry had been driven step by step to a very narrow area of Liaodong Peninsula and had to fight to the death with the elite of 20,000 tiger and leopard troops.
I have been lurking in Liaodong territory and learned that after the defense, the Golden Tiger and Leopard Army is a group of recruits who have just put hoes and have not been trained. After this news, the commander-in-chief two cavalry Niulu Zhangjingma became active.
Defending Liaodong and Houjin, although the Tiger and Leopard Army has a large number of people and there are walls for defense, they are all a group of recruits after all … If they attack them with the elite of Houjin, they will not be wiped out like chopping melons and chopping vegetables …
Two Niu Lu Zhang Jing believe that the destruction of the Tiger and Leopard Army will kill all the Han people hiding in the county seat with the Tiger and Leopard Army occupying the county seat … This result will definitely be more destructive to Liaodong and Tiger and Leopard Army than before killing ordinary Han people …
In this case, the butch army has no way to establish itself in Liaodong …
Just do it. The commander of Zhangjing, a 500-meter-long Tatar Fighter, did not hesitate to pounce on the first garrison division of Liaodong, a group of resident creek county …
A month ago, because of the invasion of the red flag and the red flag, Zhongxi County was once breached and occupied by the Tatars for almost half a month.
There are still more than ten feet to go. The walls of Gaoxi County have become broken at this moment.
Not only that, the city wall stretches for miles, but there are also several huge gaps with a width of more than one foot.
On the surface, these gaps are temporarily blocked by soldiers’ sandbags, but anyone who needs military common sense knows that this method of blocking gaps is appropriate.
Once Xixi County is really attacked, these gaps will definitely become the main attack direction of the enemy. It is more important to attack from these gaps. The enemy can easily climb the city wall and attack Xixi County without climbing the ladder directly with his bare hands …
Just when 500 Tatars fighters rushed to Xixi County, there were not many people in Xixi County because the Tatars had invaded the base. All kinds of guns sounded like firecrackers … I didn’t want to know that the first garrison stationed in Xixi was desperately training …
After several days of intensive training in Zhong Zhaoyu’s headquarters, plus white lead bullets for each person, more than 100 musketeers shot live ammunition. Although they are still not proficient in using musketeers in their hands, there is still no problem for veterans to shoot one lead bullet when shooting two lead bullets.
After the musketeers’ firing speed is slow, it is necessary to train a qualified musketeer array in order to keep the battlefield powerful and continuously shoot lead bullets at the enemy.
Because a qualified musket array can largely make up for the disadvantage of musket firing rate …
At this moment, Zhong Zhaoyu, the company commander, is with a full face of serious training to persuade soldiers to master three-stage shooting …
Seeing that the training ground in front of me was too slow for a few soldiers to react, it seemed that the musket array was in chaos again, and it was a little on fire that Zhong Zhaoyu finally could not help but shout with anger in his heart …
"You all take my orders as a joke? How many times have I said that in the course of fighting, no matter whether the musket in your hand is to be ordered to retreat, you must give up the position immediately and let your brother in front of it … Now I will give you another day of training. If there are still people who can’t meet the requirements, don’t blame the company commander … Liaodong, don’t have as many young men with two legs as you want … You can be safe and worry about getting paid after you enter the butch army … If you can’t meet the training requirements, I will ask you to leave the butch army with an order …
More than one hundred people with a full face of tension to continue training, but also because the training can not see the results and frown, the deputy company commander quickly walked over and said
"The company commander, after all, they are all a group of people who have just put hoes. It’s good to have such training results. You know, they just skipped the basic training for recruits for three months …"
"I don’t think there is basic training for recruits to let them know that they are cooperating with each other. Even if they are given another five days, it is impossible for them to train a three-stage musket array …"
Zhong Zhaoyu’s brow wrinkled and his angry face flashed a trace of unnoticed dissatisfaction and then asked the deputy company commander in front of him, "Is there any good way for Deputy Company Commander Wang …"
The deputy company commander first shook his head, then nodded, and finally said, "There is no good way … but I have a suggestion that I don’t know if it is feasible …"
After hearing this sentence, Zhong Zhaoyu’s dignified eyes quickly shot out two shirts and asked the deputy company commander with a face of expectation
"What’s the idea? If we can let our brothers go to the battlefield for a short time, we will all give it a try … I have a hunch that our horses in Xixi County will be attacked by the Tatars … "
After shaking his head, the deputy company commander directly said, "The company commander brothers can’t master the three-stage shooting skillfully. As I just said, it’s because they don’t have basic training for recruits and don’t know how to cooperate with each other …"
"But there is a critical problem, that is, there are too many people … If we can solve this problem, I believe that nothing will be a problem …"
"My idea is that since there is no way for more than one hundred people to form a three-stage musket array, we will arrange units to form three small three-stage musket arrays …"
"So there are twelve musketeers in each row of each musketeer array …"
It is much easier for a squad leader to command eleven departments to carry out guns and retreat than for a platoon leader to command more than thirty departments …
Zhong Zhaoyu’s eyes lit up and his face was thoughtful. He replied, "On the surface, it is a good way to form three musket arrays. Our firepower is scattered … but it is no different from the fact that thousands of people are fighting on the battlefield."
After that, Zhong Zhaoyu directly said firmly: "Let’s do it … Lao Wang, you organize your brothers to train according to what you just thought …"
Don’t say that the size of each musket array is much smaller after the number of people is less, but it has become more and more decent in terms of advance and retreat
Two hours passed quickly.
Leave Zhong Zhaoyu to recognize that the afternoon training will end like this.
Three very harsh screams suddenly sounded in the direction of the city gate and reached Zhong Zhaoyu’s ear.
When he looked in the direction of the sound, three flying flares had left three flight paths composed of white smoke …
Just then three very crisp explosions followed by Zhong Zhaoyu’s ear …
Zhong Zhaoyu’s brow wrinkled up when he saw three fireworks exploding quickly.
At this moment, Zhong Zhaoyu’s heart is very complicated, with both longing and expectation for the battle and the meritorious military service, and worrying about the soldiers …
He didn’t know that after arriving at the scene, more than 100 people couldn’t even master the three-stage shooting. How did the Brotherhood behave and whether it could hold Jiaoxi County?
But at this moment, when there is no need, let him think about it.
The explosion sounded and the heavy command of instantaneous tone has blurted out from Zhong Zhaoyu’s mouth.
"I really didn’t expect the Tatars to come so fast … brothers, stop training and bring ammunition with me … It’s good for the head to delimit the defensive area for us. There must be no accident at the main entrance, otherwise our group of more than 1,000 brothers will be cut off by the Tatars …"
See before because of his sudden command directly into shock and unprepared, more than one hundred new recruits company commander Zhong Zhaoyu face worry is even stronger.
However, the enemy’s current company commander can’t show it in front of these recruits even if he is worried again. Otherwise, these recruits may lose their courage in Lian Deng City Wall.
After taking a deep breath and suppressing my complicated mood, I ordered, "What are you still doing here waiting for death? … The platoon leader? The horse and the brothers will join me in the wall. You have all beaten the Tatars, and there is nothing to be afraid of. A lead bullet can still kill them in the past. Cheer up …"
Chapter four hundred and ninety-five Defeat of the Garrison
Soon, more than 100 frightened soldiers led Zhong Zhaoyu to climb the dilapidated city wall.
Looking out of the city, a group of 500 people just felt a burst of murderous look at a glance, and the Tatar fighters suddenly appeared in the position of 300 steps outside the city.
Just a glance at those recruits around Zhong Zhaoyu was too scared to breathe. What’s more, his face turned pale directly because of fear.
If the soldiers around you are veteran Zhong Zhaoyu ten days ago, you can be very sure that there are 500 tartars outside the city, even if you take the elite first garrison, you can eat them all without even a little bone residue.
But Zhong Zhaoyu’s side is not the veteran of the late Jin Dynasty, but the people who have just put hoes in less than a few days, and the 500 elite tartars outside the city are small in number, but from Zhong Zhaoyu’s point of view, these cavalry must be rare elite fighters in the late Jin Dynasty.
In this case, even if the first garrison has three times the strength advantage, it is difficult to take advantage of the battlefield. After all, there is a huge gap between the Tatars and the garrison.
More than one thousand soldiers of the garrison were caught in worry and fear when they were three hundred steps outside the city and set foot on five hundred Tatar fighters to move directly.
Five hundred Tatar fighters rushed to Xixi County from different directions.
Soon the speed of 500 fighters increased to the extreme.
Looking around, although the number of Tatar fighters is small, it has created a shocking picture for more than 1,000 soldiers of the First Garrison.
As the Dalai Lama gets closer and closer to the city wall, the foot of the city wall is shaking with the horses’ hooves. More than 1,000 garrison soldiers and officers at all levels are commanding like flies, and the city wall is running back and forth. From them, I don’t see the slightest quality of soldiers.
For the present situation, the head of the first garrison regiment is anxious in his eyes.
However, the head of the garrison did not panic like the Ministry because he still had the card of artillery in his hand.
Thought of here, the garrison commander finally calmed down a lot.
Without thinking, he ordered, "Gun orders artillery and horse guns."
After the roar gun battlefield sounded, the deafening shell exploded just like thunder outside the city. In this round of explosion, more than a dozen Tatar cavalry directly rushed to the ground.
However, when the garrison fired the second round of shells and roared down the city, it was attacked, and Tatar was ready for it.
Because we just got together, the Dalai Lama quickly dispersed as if we had discussed it.
More than a dozen exploding shells only destroyed less than five tartars. When the third round of shells landed, the number of tartars that could be destroyed directly became very few.
At this time, the head of the garrison had to pin his hopes on the fact that more than 1,000 recruits were in a panic, and soon the guns rang out on the battlefield.
Flying lead bullets because the recruits have no aim at the battlefield and the fear of Tartars outside the city
A round of hundreds of lead bullets actually wiped out several tartars.
In the face of this result, the face of the head of the garrison became gloomy directly because of shame.
Just as round after round of lead bullets kept flying out of the city, causing countless casualties to the Tatars, five scattered Tatar cavalry had rushed to a position less than ten paces away from the city wall.
At this time, the face of the head of the garrison regiment has changed from gloomy to panic.
He didn’t expect these recruits to be so unbearable, and he didn’t expect that the fighting capacity outside the city would be so tough and he couldn’t be the same as meeting the Dalai again.
I was afraid that the head of the garrison had to play his last hand grenade.
Facing the growing fear around us, the head of the garrison regiment of the Ministry of Defence had to growl, "What are you still doing? The musketeers continue to shoot. The bombers are ready to hand grenades, and they will not order the soldiers to take a step back or the military will engage in it."
As soon as the order reached the roar of officers at all levels, the battlefield sounded.
Of course, not all of these Tatars will face the end of destruction.
