Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 702
Yang Menglong ran to Fuzhou in a hurry, and naturally he would not come empty-handed. He brought a large number of cavalry, which the Dongjiang Army lacked most.These cavalry were all trained by Wu Sheng hard. If they were to fight head-to-head with the Manchurian iron cavalry, they would definitely be meat buns beating dogs. There was no turning back. Only the Heluo Xinjun could rely on their strength to take the golden iron cavalry. And the Lancers of the Tianxiong Army, the three thousand cavalry of the Guanning Army are so-so, and the cavalry of the Denglai New Army?Not even close.However, letting these cavalry patrol and reconnaissance is still competent and happy. These cavalry were released after a short rest, opened the mighty security screen, and a series of small but extremely tragic fights broke out with Houjin scouts. Their galloping figures.Hou Jinshao rode a horse with a strong bow and anger. He learned to ride a horse before he learned to walk. It goes without saying that his combat power is strong. Fighting against them is definitely not the opponent of the Houjin Iron Cavalry, but they are really not afraid of building slaves in this small-scale battle against sentry cavalry, and with the big victory in Lushun, they are not at a disadvantage psychologically. The cavalry tried their best to push back the rear golden sentry cavalry, while the rear golden sentry cavalry spared no effort to wipe out the Denglai cavalry, and the two sides fought with sparks flying.

What is puzzling is that Houjin seems to have been satisfied with this small-scale sentry cavalry battle. Their army did not make any moves for several days, but kept sending teams of sentry cavalry to fight with the Denglai cavalry.Occasionally, Denglai cavalry broke through their mighty security screen and went deep into their rear, but they didn't find any trace of large troop mobilization, and they were quickly pressed back by them.It's understandable if it's like this for one or two days, but if it's like this for seven days in a row, people have to be vigilant.

Yang Menglong squatted in front of the map and looked at the series of plains, mountains and rivers on the map, frowning like hemp rope.According to the information brought back by the small boat that the Ming army ventured into Yingkou for reconnaissance, the Houjin Xianghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner had already sailed along the coastal plain towards Fuzhou, and the Xiangbai Banner stayed at Yingkou as a response. The strength of the three banners, plus The attached Mongolian and Han armies numbered more than 3 at least. It is impossible to mobilize such a huge force to Fuzhou just to test the combat effectiveness of the sentry cavalry of the Ming army?The daily consumption of food and fodder is astonishing during the expedition of a large army. Once it becomes a protracted tug-of-war, the whole country will be overwhelmed. This is the reason why "soldiers are expensive and fast". , really no one is willing to deliberately make the whole battle protracted in order to make the process look better.Right now, Houjin seems to be making such a mistake, but his intuition tells Yang Menglong that this is impossible. Houjin has a large number of experienced generals on his side, and there is no ordinary person who would not make such a low-level mistake.

What kind of medicine is sold in those wild boar skin gourds?

Li Weiluan, Mao Yongjun and the others also frowned into hemp ropes, and Shang Keyi paced back and forth, mumbling incessantly: "It's strange, this is not like Jiannu's style! Tens of thousands of troops pressed down on Lushun but they didn't attract them. Don't they know that the weather will get colder and colder, and it will be less and less suitable for combat? And if it drags on for a long time, our army's reinforcements will continue to arrive. If they don't attack at this time, they won't be able to move in the future Restoration of the state!"

Shang Kexi said: "Also, they have to use so many civilians to transfer food, grass and weapons to ensure the logistics supply of the army. If this war is delayed, how many civilians will die of cold on the road? How many people can they have, and they can be squandered like this? "

Yuan Zongdi was lucky, because he had an outstanding performance in the first battle in Japan—for example, he was very handy in coercing tens of thousands of Japanese civilians to attack Japanese cities, because he was originally doing this— ——And was appreciated by Yang Menglong, after Wu Sheng rushed back to Denglai to preside over the overall situation, he was unexpectedly left by Yang Menglong's side, temporarily acting as Wu Sheng's command of the Denglai new army.Seeing that everyone was frowning, he came up with a good idea: "How about we leave the camp, press forward, and try Jiannu's reaction?"

Yang Menglong shook his head: "No, the Dongjiang army is not capable of confronting the Jiannu of the Three Banners head-on, so if they want to leave the camp, they have to wait for the main force of the new Denglai army to come up!"

General Dongjiang's expression suddenly became a little strange.Of course they knew that what Yang Menglong said was the truth. The combat effectiveness of the Dongjiang Army has indeed improved a lot compared to before, but it is not enough to compare with the Denglai New Army...Of course, the Denglai New Army and the Heluo New Army It's a bit worse than the previous one.However, this kind of truth still makes them feel embarrassed. I guess no army is willing to be said that their army is inferior to others, right?But they couldn't refute, so they could only be ruthless in their hearts: they must train those subordinates hard in the future!
Yuan Zongdi said: "We will not advance too far, press forward for a dozen miles, and retreat immediately after encountering the main force of slavery..."

Yang Menglong said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to withdraw at that time. Forget it, our purpose is to keep Fuzhou. If the slaves don't move, we won't move. If he has the ability, he will spend with me! Strengthen our guard, and , Li Zongbing, don’t let the troops idle, while there is nothing to do now, step up the drills, the more you practice, the stronger your combat power will be, and the chances of winning against Jiannu will be higher in the future, so don’t grind your guns in front of the battle!”

Li Weiluan said: "The humble official understands, it's just..."

Yang Menglong asked: "Just what?"

Li Weiluan said with some embarrassment: "It's just that our army drills according to the drill method of the Denglai New Army, but it never gets it right. Every time the troops train, they have great opinions..."

Yang Menglong was furious: "Fuck, you guys won't practice if the troops have opinions? Don't Jiannu ask for their opinions before chopping off their heads? Grandma, call up the troops, and I will drill them myself, so I don't want to make shit out of them I write the Yang character upside down!"

Li Weiluan and others couldn't get what they wanted, so they happily summoned their subordinates and handed them over to Yang Menglong for training.As early as in the Battle of Lushun, they were very envious of the combat effectiveness of the Denglai New Army, Heluo New Army, and Tianxiong Army. They have also tried their best to learn from the Denglai New Army this year, following the drills of the Denglai New Army The method drilled the troops, but the soldiers yelled that they would rather go to the battlefield and fight the slaves than drill all day like this, and everyone was at a loss.It's all right now, Yang Menglong is willing to help them train, this is a wishful thing!
"The new army of the Ming Dynasty is here." Twenty miles outside Fuzhou City, on a hill, Abatai looked at the sentries chasing and fighting not far away, his voice was gloomy.

Dodo gritted his teeth and said, "Good job! I'm afraid they won't come!"

Abatai said: "Don't be impulsive, we have more important things to do, and it won't be worthwhile to fight the new Ming army."

Duduo said angrily: "Brother Qi, if you are afraid, you can stay here. I will lead three thousand soldiers to kill him. I will not look back until I behead the generals of the new Ming army!"

Abate glanced at him: "Do we have three thousand soldiers?"

Duduo was stunned for a moment and fell silent. He drew out his heavy sword and slashed at a tree hard, causing sawdust to dance wildly.

At the foot of the mountain, two sentry cavalry rushed past, each dropping two corpses.Afterwards, each of them reined in their horses and turned back. The rear golden cavalry drew their strong bows again and shot powerful heavy arrows at the Ming cavalry. There was only a series of bangs and bangs, tongues of flame burst out from the short barrel, and date-shaped bullets screamed out, gouging the bodies of the men and horses of the rear golden cavalry.It's not one shot or two shots, but every time the trigger is pulled, there will be a burst of flames!This thing was also produced in good faith by the Nanyang Military Factory. When the Venetian fleet came to imitate it, Kesselring gave Yang Menglong a flintlock pistol with rich decoration and jewels. Yang Menglong was very interested in this weapon and asked the military factory to imitate it. The factory imitated it quickly, and made a lot of improvements, making it a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy.The first thing is to rifle the barrel to improve the accuracy. After mastering the rifling processing technology, these guys are crazy. When they see a pipe, the first thought is how to rifle it; and then according to Yang Menglong’s Bad idea to make a six-round magazine, which can be loaded with six bullets at a time, and the magazine will rotate every time the trigger is pulled to ensure that the sparks ignited by the collision between the hammer and the flint can ignite the propellant; finally, creatively The kraft paper bullet casing is used to wrap the highly sensitive gun cotton, which achieves the integration of ammunition and greatly speeds up the loading speed.The weight of this thing is not light, it weighs a pound, and the effective range is quite sad, only 20 meters. If it is farther away, you will not know where the bullets will fly. Qualified.When Yang Menglong set off to fight Japan, the military factory drove out a batch of cavalry from Denglai New Army to Japan for experiments with Japanese cavalry, and the results were not bad.Now each of these sentry riders is equipped with two revolvers, and they can shoot if they disagree with each other. One or two may not be very good, but if a dozen or twenty are fired at the same time, the fun will be great. Blood arrows spewed out from the golden war horse and soldiers, screaming and falling down on the snow. The blood quickly solidified, freezing them together with the snow.

Seeing this scene, Abate's expression became even more gloomy.It can be seen that the riding skills and shooting accuracy of the Ming cavalry are not as good as Hou Jin Jian'er. In this round of shooting, the Ming cavalry suffered greater losses, but they have firearms!That thing is much more difficult to get than a three-eyed gun!No, the Ming army cavalry shot in one hand and held the saber in the other. After six bullets were fired, they also rushed in front of the Houjin cavalry. Don't be afraid of Hou Jin's illustrious reputation of "if the Jurchens are not equal to ten thousand, they will not be able to fight if they are not equal to ten thousand"!

In fact, after the great victory in Lushun, the Ming troops in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Liaonan, towns and towns generally had the courage to leave their camps to attack Houjin's villages and outposts.Are the Jurchens completely invincible?Bird, you 4 people in Lushun almost wiped out our regiment, you are so awesome!

Abate sighed and said, "Let the troops withdraw."

Immediately, someone blew the horn, and the Golden Whistle Cavalry, who were fighting bitterly with the Ming army, shot a wave of arrows angrily, and then retreated. The Ming army cavalry chased after them and shot violently with their revolvers. He stopped only after running out of bullets, raised his knife in the face of the heavy snow and cheered. If it weren't for the dangers in this place, he would have dismounted and twisted Yangko.Seeing this scene, the face of the Houjin Warrior on the mountain turned black, and he wished he could rush down the mountain to kill these crazy guys!But Abatai didn't give the order, and they could only stay obediently.

The Ming cavalry cheered for a while, then carried the corpse of the deceased onto the horse and tied it tightly. They cut off the head of the Houjin soldier and hung it on the horse's neck, and then returned to Fuzhou proudly.Although they lost more than the deposit, a win is a win, and a win is worth being happy about!

Duduo was about to gnash his teeth: "Just let them run away like this?"

Abate said in a calm voice, "What else do you want?"

Duoduo said: "They killed so many Dajin warriors, they should have killed them all, and then hung them on the tree!"

Abatai said: "Kill them all? Yes, as long as you are willing to die ten more warriors."

Duoduo couldn't help but suffocate... In order to eliminate this [-]-something sentry cavalry, another ten warriors died, no matter how you look at it, it's Houjin's loss!The Ming country has a population of over [-] million, and it has acquired a good horse farm in Mongolia, and can use various materials to directly exchange war horses with the Mongols. As long as they have enough war horses, they can organize enough cavalry and send them to the mountains. Keep pulling to the front line.Even if those cavalrymen can't even use knives on horseback, as long as they can use their revolvers to pull the trigger on the rear golden cavalry, they can always kill a few rear golden cavalry.
One ebbs and another...
