The team of firecrackers led by Liu Wenxiu are not ordinary firecrackers, but so-called grenade firecrackers, which are firecrackers equipped with wooden handle grenades. This wooden handle grenade is also the son of Zhu Youjian.

The treasure copied there is a hollow cast iron ball with a wooden handle. The hollow iron ball is filled with black powder inside, and a hole is opened in the ball for inserting a wooden tube fuse.

Because the power of gunpowder deflagration is limited, the charge in the hollow cast iron ball cannot be too small. If the charge is too much, the size of the iron ball must be increased, and the weight of the iron ball will of course be increased. If you want to make such an explosive iron ball

The pimple can be thrown far away, but it can't be done if you don't have a few kilograms of strength.

Therefore, those who can be selected as grenadiers are all strong men with great length and strength. There are not many such people in the youth army in front of the tent. A battalion of a thousand people can at most form a team of a hundred people, which is almost one out of ten.

.

You must know that the Youth Army in front of the tent is originally selected from the Youth Army in front of the tent, and the Youth Army itself is carefully selected. These warriors who have been selected at all levels have been trained rigorously for five or six years, and they have become

If you have excellent martial arts skills, you may not be able to defeat the white-armored soldiers, but you won't necessarily lose in a hand-to-hand fight with the red-armored soldiers.

But when such strong men came into the hands of Zhu Youjian, he gave them grenades and firecrackers! Of course, hand-to-hand combat was also necessary, but the enemy should be killed with firecrackers and grenades first, and then the hand-to-hand combat.

The use of firecrackers and grenades is not limited to the desperate tactics of lining up to shoot and lining up to drop bombs in a majestic formation, such as rushing to within twenty steps of the enemy's fire and then firing.

One of the infantry tactics. Anyone who thinks of it as the only tactic is a fool.

The art of war is all about trickery! How can there be someone who is not evil? In history, the British lobster soldiers didn’t use black guns and cannons? There is no such thing!

Therefore, the team of grenadier soldiers led by Liu Wenxiu are not only good at shooting black guns, but they are also good at using grenades to trick people!

This time, the mission of Liu Wenxiu and his more than a hundred young grenadiers was to set up an ambush in the grass three to four hundred steps in front of the Ming army's main position, specifically to attack the white-armored soldiers of the Jin army.

A "protection net" was supported in front of the main position of the Ming army to prevent the cavalry of the Jin army from approaching the main position of the Ming army to harass and spy.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Wenxiu's hundreds of grenadiers to cover the positions of more than 20,000 people. This arduous task requires the 4 infantry regiments of the Youth Army in front of the tent (a total of

There are 5 (including 1 reserve) 16 grenadiers in the 16 infantry battalions under their jurisdiction, together with the same number of cavalry teams to complete the task.

More than 3,200 infantry and cavalry were divided into 16 teams, like 16 trickling streams, flowing out of the newly formed main position composed of battalion square formations. Then they were divided into two groups, in front of the Ming army's main position and

The grenadiers who spread out on the left wing dispersed in groups of ten, and soon disappeared into the grass. The cavalry dispersed in groups of thirty or forty cavalry, and then formed horizontal lines, in the main line of the Ming army.

Three hundred steps away from the front and left wing, two "curtain walls" were deployed to cover the main formation.

And on the periphery of these two "curtain walls", there are hundreds of cavalry who are good at shooting black spears, and they are currently competing with the vanguard of the Hou Jin Army.

The main position of the Ming army was firmly covered.

Don't think that when fighting in formation, you should set up a majestic formation and let the enemy admire it. There is no perfect formation in the world. If the enemy peeks at it, they can always find weaknesses.

Moreover, the youth army in front of the tent is also mainly infantry, and the Jin army behind the army is all cavalry. Today's battle is a standard infantry defeating cavalry. And the difficulty of infantry defeating cavalry has never been set up so that the cavalry cannot rush.

If we can't even set up a strong formation, then what's the point of fighting in the field?

The real difficulty of infantry defeating cavalry is how to allow the infantry in formation to move and rest safely under the surveillance and harassment of the enemy's cavalry.

Because the outcome of the battle between cavalry and foot is rarely determined in one burst, and it is common to fight back and forth for more than a dozen battles. Sometimes the winner cannot be decided during the day, and the battle has to be done at night.

The side with the huge cavalry advantage, because they have the initiative, can choose to fight or move, or they can cover their main force, so that they can fight the enemy with a small number of troops in a tiring battle while resting comfortably.

After spending days and nights, you still haven’t exhausted your opponent?

But now the young army in front of the tent, which is mainly infantry, must not only defeat cavalry with infantry, but also win with less and win more. They must also fight this battle on the grassland on the west bank of the Laoha River, which is conducive to cavalry.

OK?

So what the main formation of the Youth Army in front of the tent looks like is not visible to anyone. If you want to see it, just risk your life!

"boom"

As a rocket exploded in the air and turned into a ball of gorgeous fireworks, the Ming army's black lancers, who were at the forefront and the vanguard cavalry of the Jin Army, retreated at the same time. The crackling gunfire also

It gradually became sparse, and finally there was no movement at all.

“Finally quit”

Abatai, who was ordered to command the 3,000 white-armored soldiers drawn from various banners and the 1,000 bird gunners from the Wuzhenchaoha battalion who led the charge, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

It’s really not easy to fight in this first battle!

The opponents are too insidious. Judging from their skill on horseback, they are clearly not inferior to Dajin's horse-armored soldiers. Moreover, the horses under their crotches are also Mongolian horses selected from thousands of people. The armor they wear seems to be made of

It is made of large pieces of iron sheet hammered out (actually spliced ​​plate armor), and it looks sturdy. With such good horses, good armor, and good kung fu, even if you fight an upright battle with the soldiers in the golden vests, you may not necessarily lose.

But these people just want to cheat!

Some of the knights lured the enemy, while others hid in the weeds and used Rumi blunderbuss to assassinate the golden warriors. How cunning!

Fortunately, the Great Khan is not an honest man. He compares himself to Zhuge. What kind of honest man can he be? The Great Khan has long known that Zhu Youjian's cavalry will use black muskets to kill people. So the white-armored soldiers sent to Abatai are all

Mongolian white armor, not Manchu white armor. Moreover, Huang Taiji sent 1,000 gun soldiers from Wuzhenchaoha camp to Abatai, asking them to use black guns against black guns!

It's just that the effect of the black gun on the black gun is not very good. In less than two hours, the bird gun soldiers of Wu Zhenchaoha's camp killed and injured two hundred people!

He is no match for me at all. My sweat’s hard work will be in vain again!

It turns out that after Huang Taiji's defeat at Yanshan, he paid more attention to the development of firearms. So he sent people from the Ping'an Road in North Korea and the more than 200,000 Koreans who were captured back to Daikin to collect a group of people who could make firecrackers.

The craftsmen all raised their flags and were incorporated into the Wuzhenchaoha camp. They also selected 2,000 people from the Han Eight Banners and the Korean Eight Banners to specialize in bird gun training. However, this bird gun seems to be difficult to practice. Wuzhen Chaoha Camp

The bird gun soldiers usually look quite similar, and the bird guns they use don't explode very much. But today, when they faced the Ming Army's black gun cavalry, how come they were only shot to death?

"Amma," Abatai's second son Bo and Tuo also followed their father to the front line this time. Seeing the Ming army's cavalry retreat, they were a little eager to fight, "the southern army's cavalry retreated, let's chase them for a while.

Bar!"

"Pursuit?" Abatai glanced at his son, "Do you think we have defeated Hong Chengchou? This has just begun! What is our mission? We are the vanguard who must find out the situation of the enemy's position for the large group of people following behind.

Control the territory where troops are deployed!"

Bo Hetuo was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to talk back to Ama. Just when he was about to ask for advice, the sound of gunshots suddenly sounded in front, and then he saw the Mongolian white-armored soldiers who had just followed the retreating Ming army cavalry.

They all retreated in confusion. One of them, Jia La E Zhen Pegasus, arrived in front of Abatai's horse and loudly reported: "Master Beile, the slaves have discovered that the Ming army has arrived. All they can see are cavalry, and there are also fire soldiers."
