1256 Naval Inspiration
Qi Qitao didn't understand, but Liu Pei understood it as soon as he heard it! It turned out that the only weapon theory had already raised its head in his team! He organized a few words and said to Qi Qitao: "I already know this matter, it is indeed wrong! You must first unify your thoughts among the officers and tell them that the most important thing in war is not weapons, but people! Only with reliable soldiers and using reliable weapons can you truly be invincible and invincible! Just like the soldiers of the court, if you hand over all our weapons to them, they will still be defeated in front of the Qing army! This is the reason for the human race!"
Qi Qitao suddenly realized his mind and said, "That's right! That's right! I understand when the coach said this! I'll talk to my brothers again."
Liu Pei also asked an officer to arrange it. He asked the political commissars to organize their implementation and study. We must not let the development of weapons theory, of course, we cannot engage in spirit theory. Only the combination of weapons and spirit is the soul of an army!
After breakfast, the drums sounded slowly, and a war was about to begin! Both sides began to prepare in full swing! Both sides knew that if there was a release today, they would fall on the battlefield.
As soon as Abatai arranged everything he thought of in the big tent, he heard the drums of the Ming army. He said in a deep voice: "Okay, the war is about to begin! I would like to remind you that if the other party has artillery, our village wall may not be able to hold it for long! Unfortunately, we were too arrogant at the beginning and did not build a double-layer village wall. But even if it was built, it might not be able to support it under the other party's artillery! But we can wait for them to make a splash on the wall and let their people come in! Then entangle with them! This is our only hope for victory. Do you remember them all?"
All the Qing army generals bowed and said, "The last general understands!"
Abatai waved his hand and said, "Go to each one!"
At this moment, a soldier reported the account and said: "General, the Ming army has put something strange outside. We really can't understand! They actually mixed cannons and cavalry, but there were not many cavalry. It made people look confused and couldn't figure out what they wanted to do."
Abatai nodded and said, "I know
I said, I will go and see it myself."
After saying that, Abatai sent the military generals to their positions. He was going to see what the Ming army was doing?
But as soon as he left the tent, he heard the sound of artillery from the Ming army. He heard the sound of artillery sounds in both directions, which surprised him very much! The Ming army's troops can already support the front and back attack?
You should know that the front and back attacks mentioned in cold weapon combat are not really attacked by both sides. Generally, one side defends and the other side attacks fiercely, so there is a clear direction of attack.
The attack on both sides will not work without modern communication, and will only cause one side to fall into chaos.
But the truth of the matter was completely different from what Abatai thought. If he could see the Ming army's formation from the beginning, perhaps he could still come up with a countermeasure, but it was too late at this time!
The formation that Liu Pei set up today is indeed very strange. The ones placed in the front are rows of artillery. There is a team of cavalry next to each artillery.
If you look closely, you will find that the shells prepared by the artillery today are not ordinary shells, but two four-corner iron hooks that look like anchors!
The artillery immediately ignited the cannon after receiving the signal! The dull sound of cannons sounded, and the iron hook in the cannon bore immediately flew out from afar, drew a beautiful parabola and flew directly towards the Qing army's village wall!
Only then can you see a long rope tied behind these iron hooks. The other end of the rope is firmly tied to the war horses of dozens of cavalrymen.
As hundreds of hooks fell, some of them hooked on the Qing army's village walls, and some fell into the Qing army's camp. When the cavalry saw that the shooting was successful, they immediately shouted and rode their horses to run away!
The village wall hooked by the iron hook was pulled down one after another as the war horses exerted their strength. Even if the village wall was not held by the iron hook, it would be dragged to the ground due to a chain reaction. The Qing army's idea of using the village wall to defend for a period of time was easily broken!
After the large area of the village wall collapsed, the entire Qing army camp was exposed! Even the Qing army close to the village wall had not yet figured out what had happened, but they found that the village wall in front of them was gone!
This method was the idea given by the navy's liaison officer. At the beginning, the officers' plan was to use artillery to gather together to break a piece of the village wall and then attack.
However, the naval officer who came to the General Staff to be in charge of liaison at that time raised objections. He thought that since the Qing army used a single-layer wooden village wall, wouldn’t it be enough to just pull it off?
Then the army officer told him that this method was not impossible. If you want to hook the wall of the village, the cavalry would enter the range of the enemy's bow and arrow! Within a very close distance, the Qing army's bow and arrow were accurate and poisonous, and the casualties would be severe!
However, the naval officer told them that they could use guns to fire iron hooks! Just cover the gunpowder with a thicker cork and put it in the iron hook, and then nail the iron hook out!
The source of this inspiration is the whale forks on the whaling ship. The sailors on the whaling ship all use artillery to fire whaling forks! The cannons on the ship can fire whaling forks hundreds of meters away and then stab into the whales' bodies. Now they are just used to hook up the walls, which is simply useless.
After the artillery soldiers tried it briefly, they immediately realized that this method is really useful! That's why today's scene came about!
The two front and back walls were pulled open, and the Qing army's camp was completely exposed. As a result, the Qing army collapsed before it was ready, which surprised them very much and did not react for a while!
Abatai reacted quickly. He was stunned for a moment and immediately ordered the cavalry around him to rush forward and snatch off the opponent's artillery!
But the artillery on the opposite side reacted very quickly. After firing out the iron hook, they pulled out the iron nails nailed to the ground, tied the cannon to the pack horse and ran backwards, and soon disappeared into the soldiers' phalanx.
When Abatai saw this situation, he could only stop. At this time, a large number of cavalrymen on Liu Pei's side began to gather in front. Abatai was overjoyed when he saw this! Although he knew that the other side had a strange formation that could win battles. However, the number of cavalrymen on his side was far greater than that on the other side!
