Valley Emperor

The Tang Dynasty, and even the entire East Asia region, because of the arrival of Li Xuan, there has already been a fork in history. There has never been a queuing and shooting tactic on the battlefield of China. It was introduced and promoted by Li Xuan, and even played out. A higher standard than its contemporary European counterparts.

When the European army was still stuck in the Spanish phalanx tactics, when they did not have bayonets, sights, and arquebuses with rulers, the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty was already under the leadership of Li Xuan, using belts Arquebuses with bayonets, sights, rulers, and paper-cased ammunition.

The above-mentioned bayonet, front sight, ruler and even paper shell ammunition actually have no technical limitations. The biggest limitation here is a question of knowledge. As long as someone puts it up, it is actually very easy to come out.

The emergence of paper shell ammunition also made it easier for the musketeers of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty to load, which also brought higher shooting.

Sights and rulers make it easier for musketeers to aim. Although it is limited by the inherent accuracy defects of muskets, when shooting long-distance targets, the hit rate is still unsightly, but at medium and short distances, the shooting accuracy is There has been a huge improvement.

The more important bayonet, the appearance of the bayonet, can directly allow the musketeers of the Datang 6th Army to replace the cold-weapon infantry arms such as spearmen and sword and shield soldiers to a certain extent.

This series of technical innovations of arquebus have actually made the arquebus of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty span the early and middle stages, and directly entered the peak maturity of the arquebus.

If you want to replace the existing matchlock gun, you can only wait for the flintlock gun to come out, and it must be mature in technology, and the flintlock gun with the matchlock gun in the hit rate, the early flint gun because the hit rate is too low, can not replace this kind of gun. Show mature arquebus.

Under the guidance of Li Xuan, the King of the Tang Dynasty carried out a series of equipment and tactical innovations and entered the ranks of the 6th Army in modern times.

As the old opponent of the Great Tang King, the Ming army did not foolishly continue to use traditional cold weapons and those bowl-mouthed guns and handguns to continue to fight against the Great Tang King.

After they suffered several losses, the front-line generals had already started to follow the example of the Datang 6th Army to build guns and train new troops, and the muskets and artillery were basically copied as they were.

In this way, in fact, they also learned the techniques of bayonets, front sights, rulers, and paper shell fixed ammunition by the way!

In terms of the technical level of arquebuses alone, in this era, the Tang Dynasty considered itself the first, then the Ming Dynasty should be the second. As for the European counterparts, it is already a backward era!

The new army of the Ming army, who used new guns and guns, also directly copied the tactics of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, and they also played line combat.

This tactic has been used in several small-scale battles, but it has never been won!

Guns can be copied, tactics and organization can be copied, but these are the most superficial things, and there are many factors that affect the combat effectiveness of an army.

Highly qualified officers, rigorous training, combat experience, these things are actually more important than mere equipment and surface tactics.

The Ming army lacked these things. Therefore, although Zhang Yue still has tens of thousands of governors and frontier troops in his hands, he is still so cautious and is still unwilling to reduce the number of troops in his hands in the face of the pseudo-Tang bandit army attacking Nanchang. As for the main force, only ten thousand guards were sent back to defend Nanchang.

But he also knew that it would be of no avail if he only sent 10,000 Guardsmen back, so he also sent 1,000 cavalry back to Nanchang!

But it is not so easy for these thousand Ming cavalrymen with single horses to rush back smoothly!

Don't think that the cavalry marching speed is fast, in fact, the speed is just like that!

The main role of cavalry on the battlefield has never been long-distance fast marching, but the impact of short-distance high mobility and explosive force.

The 1,000 Ming cavalrymen did not stop all the way in order to hurry, and the cavalry kept their horses all the way. Moreover, the cavalry did not have a large amount of baggage like the infantry, and the small amount of baggage was carried by the cavalry themselves. If you say that the cavalry master does not want to walk, wants to march on horseback, or does not want to carry luggage forward, but wants to carry his mount, believe it or not, the military judge will hack him to death every minute!

Although the marching speed of the 1,000 Ming cavalrymen is not fast, but because of the emergency, and the load is small, the total distance is not long, so they go faster, and they are expected to walk about 40 kilometers in one day. To catch up with the fourth mixed group, it will take about two days!

It's not that the Ming army cavalry did not want to be faster, but this is almost the limit of the Ming army's cavalry in the case of maintaining normal combat effectiveness. A cavalry unit with only one horse, if you want to reach the battlefield If you still maintain combat effectiveness, you need to ensure that the horse has enough physical strength at all times.

Supervising the standard cavalry with a single horse, the marching degree is slightly worse, and it is similar to the cavalry of the 6th Tang Army, because the cavalry of the 6th Tang Army is only equipped with one horse!

However, if it is replaced by the frontier cavalry with two horses, then the normal marching rate will be greatly improved, but the improvement is limited, at most it is only 60 to 70 kilometers a day!

No matter what type of cavalry it is, in fact, its marching speed can generally be compared with the walking speed of humans!

For cavalry with two horses, one of the war horses has no load, and the other horse is light-loaded, such as carrying equipment and luggage. Please note that the cavalry still has to lead the horse.

If it is a luxury cavalry with three horses, there will also be a combat horse that marches without weight from beginning to end, one horse carries equipment and baggage, and the remaining horse, the cavalry can ride occasionally when they are tired. , Note, only occasionally, you can't ride all the time, most of the time, even when a three-horse cavalry marches, you have to walk by yourself.

Of course, this is the standard modern and modern cavalry marching method, and the countless iron cavalry described in the fantasy literature ran all the way. The cavalry directly rode, or switched to multiple horses to attack or chase the enemy hundreds of kilometers away. Army is not the same concept!

To distinguish whether it is a war case or a fantasy, you can directly see whether the cavalry is riding a combat horse during the march.

If you ride, it is 100% fantasy!

Cavalry horses cannot be ridden by any means before they reach the battlefield and charge, even those in the three-horse cavalry units cannot ride all the time, they can only ride occasionally!

So, don't expect the cavalry to march on horses all the way, that is the cavalry with three horses, and then make the so-called transfer!

Of course, the above situation is just an ordinary situation. If it is an emergency, if you run to the death and the cavalry is left behind in large numbers, the speed will become faster and can be increased to 60 to 70 kilometers!

However, in this case, after the 1,000-strong cavalry trooper continued to maneuver for a day, there would never be more than half of the cavalry left to fight. If this state of high marching continued for four or five days , then the remaining cavalry can have one tenth left to burn high incense!

The supervising cavalry of the Ming army used a normal marching speed, even if it was accelerated, but it was on the premise of ensuring the physical fitness of the horse and the cavalry!

But compared to the cavalry, if they wanted to ensure their physical fitness, those scouts or messengers would not spare the physical strength of their horses, because for them, time was the most important thing.

After finding out the enemy's information, you need to send it back as soon as possible!

So they tend to ride on horses and even use relays!

Otherwise, whether it is Zhang Yue, Hao Bainian, or Gu Shizhong, they will not be able to get news from the front line in time, but even so, because the entire battlefield is hundreds of kilometers wide, the news they get often needs to be delayed. One day or even two days.

The unusualness of the information also means that Gu Shizhong has not yet discovered that there is a Ming army cavalry that has already killed his fourth mixed regiment!

After running for a day, in order to prevent any accidents after dark, Gu Shizhong started to order the troops to stop marching and then start camping when it was approaching the evening.

That night, he continued to discuss the military situation with his staff and the officers under his command~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and at the same time, he was waiting for the report of the reconnaissance cavalry sent to Nanchang yesterday.

If you count the time, the reconnaissance cavalry should be almost back now.

Gu Shizhong's estimation was correct. When it was almost night, a few cavalry soldiers with tired faces came back, and then reported to Gu Shizhong the situation in the direction of Nanchang!

"My lord, there is no large-scale Ming army movement outside Nanchang City. In addition, several people outside the city were interrogated, and two Ming army soldiers who were patrolling the city were captured. After interrogation, they said that now There are about 10,000 pirate troops in the city, and neither the superintendent nor the frontier troops are there!"

The one who reported to Gu Shizhong was a cavalry sergeant, with a strong Kong Wu and a mighty force, and he could be regarded as an old cavalry in the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty!

After listening to Gu Shizhong, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Ming army in Nanchang City was as expected by Li Chunjing, and there was not much main force. In this case, he would work harder tomorrow and try to reach within ten miles outside Nanchang City, so that the day after tomorrow would dawn. Go ahead and try to arrive outside Nanchang City in the morning and prepare for the siege. If there is no accident, a large-scale artillery attack can be carried out in the afternoon, and then the general attack will be launched early in the morning!

In this way, it will take three days to complete the calculation!

As long as the reinforcements of the Ming army cannot arrive within three days, then there is great hope to capture Nanchang. As long as he conquers Nanchang and then relies on Nanchang to conduct defensive operations, then the main force of the Ming army will return to help, and he is also confident to defend.

But now Gu Shizhong doesn't know that behind him, a Ming army cavalry is rushing forward, and according to the direction and speed of the two sides, if there is no accident, there is a great possibility that the two sides will meet tomorrow!
