Chapter 142 hands-on

The Ming army's "beach landing" continued. The command headquarters of the Funing Marquis Zhu Guobi, who had a little understanding of military tactics, advanced forward, thinking that the troops in the rear could provide a sufficiently open landing site. The Marquis was so proactive not only because the thieves fled far away, but more because they were worried that the subsequent troops would not be able to keep up.

As the Ming army advanced forward, they accidentally discovered that there were many wealth discarded by thieves on the ground, including broken silver and copper coins, and suddenly many soldiers rushed to rob them.

Seeing that the looting was about to spread, Zhu Guobi, a robe in a white robe, rode his horse and killed a soldier with a sword. He said angrily: "This thief must not be fooled!"

He also said: "What can I grab some money? The thieves and wealth in Yangzhou City are piled up like mountains. After the city is broken, I will all divide it with you!"

This statement greatly boosted the morale of the army, and the Ming army's looting behavior was immediately curbed. Under the leadership of all officers, all the big and small, the rushing forward fiercely.

Occasionally, some people really couldn't bear to leave the copper plate under their feet and bent over to pick up the broken silver. They just asked the people behind to form a little messy and could not interfere with the overall situation.

Not long after, the troops of Zhu Guobi, the troops of the Marquis of Funing, advanced two miles eastward from Guazhou Ferry. Perhaps because they were afraid of accidental injuries, the Ming navy on the river stopped shelling.

On the other side of the ferry, the troops of the two Zhang brothers also began to land. Although it was still chaotic, as time passed, the main force of the Ming army had already landed 60% of them.

The governor of the Jiang Shang decided to go ashore and personally supervised the generals to march towards Yangzhou.

All the staff and Zheng Hongkui did not dissuade them because they all thought that the bandit army had completely collapsed and there was no danger in the supervision of the army to go ashore.

"The three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang. When you come to all your bad ideas, do you see, the officers and soldiers will not be fooled!"

Lu Si, who had already stood up from the ground, slapped the soil on his butt and asked someone to put on his armor. He was really angry at Sun Wu's bad idea that he had come up with.

"It's unreasonable,"

Sun Wujin secretly underestimated it, and felt strange that this move of the Chuang Army and the Daxi Army were repeatedly unhappy, and the Ming Army was repeatedly attacked, so why did it become unacceptable to the local conditions and the local conditions on the Yangtze River and it was useless?

But I don’t know that the Marquis of Funing said that this trick has endured too much. As the saying goes, there are only three things. Marquis of Funing can’t always fall in the same place.

The inventor who used wealth and goods to lure opponents into looting and then took the opportunity to cover up and kill was not the peasant army, but the Japanese pirates during the Jiajing period.

"It's almost done, let's do it."

Lu Si, who was wearing armor, waved his hand, and immediately a flag-plaque soldier took out a fire piece and lit the firecracker in his hand. With a "swoosh" sound, he exploded in the air like a monkey flying around.

This is a signal of the Huai Army's attack.

On the battlefield for more than ten miles, the messenger alone cannot exert force at the same time. Only this fireworks that can be clearly visible in the daytime can make everyone who hears it.

There were similar signal flares in the Ming army, called "smoke-fire cartridges". This flares should have been made of fireworks during the Wanli period and were often used in the battle to aid Korea.

............

If the Ming army observes carefully, they will find that the "thief army" on the shore does not simply flee in one direction, but "flees" in three directions in triangles. Each "thief army" in the escape direction has several stocks.

Afu, a team leader who had been promoted to a team leader after the Battle of Shi Jiadang, was a team leader among the Huai Army in the east. He was said to be a team leader, but in fact, Afu's team had nearly 400 people, all holding bamboo poles and short swords.

The Huai Army camp consists of 250 people, while the Afu team has 400 people, which is obviously not in line with the current Huai Army camp, and should be a temporary organization.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Afu's team is not strong, because except for the more than 30 old brothers who had survived the Shi Jiadang war, half were river workers who went south without a war, and half were surrendered soldiers.

In the plan assigned before the war, Afu's team was not the main backbone, but cooperated with the Iron Armored Guards. However, due to the sudden retreat order, Afu's team was out of touch with the Iron Armored Guards, with a distance of one mile.

Now that the whole team rushed to join the Iron Armored Guards, the Ming army who rushed from behind would fill the gap in this area, which might lead to the Ming army encircling the Iron Armored Guards from the flank.

So, after seeing the fireworks exploded in the air in the distance, Ah Fu made a decision, which was to make a formation turn around and directly fight against the officers and soldiers.

"Everyone, please listen. The dog-good officers and soldiers have muskets in their hands. You say this thing is scary and scary, and you say it is not scary or scary. Anyway, that's it. If you are not afraid of it, this musket is similar to a fire stick; if you are afraid of it, this musket is the life-seeking talisman of the King of Hell! So, don't be afraid, the more you are not afraid, the less the gun will not hit you!"

"Our Huai Army created the rules set by the army. When the battle is fought, the officers are in front and the soldiers are in the back. If the battalion officer dies, the team officer will be replenished; if the team officer dies, the sentry officer will be replenished..."

After talking about the rules, Ah Fu, who was from Daming Wu Youfu, drew out his long sword, sucked the smell of the river wind, and resolutely walked towards the rear.

What flashed in my mind was not the upcoming battle scene, but the scene of the officer who was bullying his daughter with a sickle, and the scene of his wife pulling her daughter in a carriage and waving to herself.

"Hey roar!"

The Battle of Shi Jiadang had a great impact on the Huai Army, and almost subconsciously "hey roar" sounded out of Wu Youfu's mouth.

"Hey roar!"

In groups of more than 400 two people, the Huai Army soldiers with a flat bamboo pole advanced forward while paying attention to their companions on both sides from the corner of their eyes, either slowing down or accelerating, and leveling the formation bit by bit.

Wu Youfu's team did not have fireworks on the bamboo poles, nor did they wear armor, cotton armor, or paper armor, but they used their flesh and blood to rush forward.

The same "hey roar" sounded halfway inside and outside. The soldiers of the Huo-character camp who had been gunning for a few days on Meihualing were lined up in an inconsistent queue under the leadership of the battalion officer Zuo Pan'an. They held the musket in their hand and slowly pressed over to the Ming army less than two miles away with the rhythm of "hey roar".

The 200 archers also turned around under the leadership of team officer Xu Chuanchao. The archers held the bow in their left hand and pinched the arrow in their right hand.

Behind them were 500 Huai soldiers carrying fifteen bamboo javelins on their shoulders. These people were not the most powerful, but they were thrown far away from the javelins.

During their training in Yangzhou, their arms went from soreness at the beginning to being unable to lift and then to being numb until now.

Lu Si tested the combat effectiveness of the javelin and found that the maximum range is less than 30 meters. Unless the enemy has no armor on its body, it can achieve a killing effect. If there is armor, the spearhead of the javelin will be difficult to break, even if it is cotton armor.

This type of javelin, which is also a one-time tactic, obviously cannot be used as a formal military branch of the Huai Army. Moreover, because the throwing distance is too short, the javelin soldiers need to be close to the enemy, which further restricts the use of javelin soldiers.

Lu Si's biggest purpose is to break the defense by using 500 people to practice javelins.

500 javelins were thrown out at the same time, which was very scary in terms of momentum.

The javelin will bend because it is a bamboo gun. Whether it is a formation or an enemy shield player in progress, it is impossible for them to have time to pull out the javelin. Such a long bamboo handle will disrupt their formation.

"Putting armor!"

With the command of the Iron Armored Guard and the Fujianese Huang Zhao, the auxiliary soldiers immediately put 56 iron armor on the front row of Iron Armored Guards, while the rest were all cotton armor, one with double armor.

After weighing the "horse-cutting sword" made of extended wooden handle in his hand, Huang Zhao closed the iron face, and immediately made people look gloomy and terrifying.
