Chapter 1439 Datong Town Troop Chariot Operation Method

"Commander Li has an order, Jiang Xiang's troops must stick to their position without making any mistakes!" As the ordering soldier watched the ordering flag carefully, he couldn't help but hurriedly relayed it.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiang looked at Yang Chengzu's troops on the right who were fighting fiercely with the Houjin Cavalry, and then at the Houjin Cavalry that had just turned in from the left, and frowned.

He had the intention to refuse this order, but considering that his younger brother Jiang Xuan was also entrusted with an important task by Zhang Shun, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Okay, reply to Li Shuai: Jiang Xiang will not die, but his right wing will not be lost!" In the end, he gritted his teeth and accepted the order.

As a general, Jiang Xiang actually didn't have much moral integrity, only profit.

However, with this small benefit, not many people could satisfy him, except "King Shun".

It’s okay to work hard, but you have to show “sincerity”.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, with Li Zicheng, Ye Tinggui and Zhang Weishi Zhuyu in front, it is obvious that Zhang Shun's "sincerity" is more sufficient and he is more worthy of risking his life for it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiang couldn't help but sneer and said: "All the officers and soldiers listen to my orders and form formations to defend against the enemy. Let the Tatars have a taste of the power of my Datong Town Troop Chariot maneuvers!"

It turns out that this "Datong Town Troop Chariot Driving Method" came from "Yu Hu" Yu Daqiu, one of Qi Long and Yu Hu during the Jiajing period.

Its method is inherited from Zeng milling car camp method and from Qi Jiguang's sidecar method. It is a link between the past and the future, which is quite unique.

The specific preparation is as follows: First, set up a one-wheeled chariot with a wheel diameter of four feet and six inches and a length of one foot and two.

There are four large gun heads installed on the front of the car, one large flange machine, two shields, one small moon flag, and one pair of cloth curtains.

There are two brackets in front of the car and two iron cones in the back. When the car is put down, the front can be used as a frame and the back can be nailed into the soil like a ship anchor.

There is a standing log behind it, which is held by the team officer like a rudder.

The total weight of the entire vehicle is only 300 kilograms, and sixteen people can be divided into two teams to carry it out in turns.

When it moves, it forms a formation, when it stops, it forms a camp.

Each vehicle has fifty people, including sixteen soldiers, ten cavalry, sixteen carts, and eight people in charge of logistics and pack horses.

There are 16 warriors with two flag bearers, four card players, two tiger fork bearers, two hook and sickle bearers, and four sword bearers each holding a sharp spear and a bird blunderbuss.

There are 16 people in the cart, including four gunmen, four sharpshooters, four people in charge of the flange machine and carrying the gun, and four swordsmen.

These sixteen people are only responsible for pushing carts and cabooses, not charging or trapping.

In addition, there are two people in charge of the team. One person is the team member holding the green flag on the car and supervising the chargers to break the formation; the other person is the team deputy responsible for steering the car behind the car and supervising the guards and the caboose.

According to Yu Daqiu's establishment, there were originally 13 teams as a small battalion and 13 small battalions as a large battalion, with a total of 8,450 people.

How could Jiang Xiang have the ability to organize so many people?

Originally, he had only four small battalions with fifty-two tanks under his command. Later, after joining the rebel army, Zhang Shun ordered him to complete the establishment, so he transferred 650 people to serve as the central army alone without tanks. .

Following his order, the four small battalions immediately surrounded his central army, forming an airtight circular formation.

Not to mention what Jiang Xiang was planning, let's talk about the fact that Hou Jin's right-wing cavalry crossed the entire battlefield from behind and finally reached the right wing of the rebel army. What they saw was such a hedgehog-like military formation.

"What kind of formation is this?" King Lama Jinzhou of Zasak led his right-wing troops to the front of the formation and asked involuntarily.

"Report to your lord, this is Yu Daqiu's chariot maneuvering technique!" Unexpectedly, Mongolian Gushan Ezhenda from the Eight Banners with the Yellow Banner came and responded.

It turns out that Lama Jinzhou was originally a noble of the Chahar tribe. Later, after Huduntuhan died of illness in Dacaotan, he led his people to surrender to Hongtai, and was named King Zasak, under the banner of Xianghuang Banner.

At that time, after Hong Tai's conquest of Huduntuhan was completed, the captives surrendered a large number of Mongolian men, who belonged to the Eight Banners.

Na Hongtai was worried that the Eight Great Heshuobele would become powerful and threaten his imperial power, so he ordered that one flag be set up under each Manchu banner, which was called the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Although the Eight Banners of Mongolia are still attached to the eight great Baylors of each banner and regard them as the masters, they do not set up Gushan Ezhen and accept Hongtai's dispatch to fight, which is equivalent to weakening the power of the Eight Great Heshuo Beile in disguise.

King Lama Jinzhou of Zasak was under the banner of Xianghuang Banner. Although he was a prince, he was still his slave, Mrs. Hong.

Although this slave does not know this formation, naturally some of the Mongolians who have suffered heavy losses do.

I only heard Zhenda Lai, who was standing on the mountain with a yellow flag, explaining: "This formation uses the chariots as the city, the artillery as the bows and arrows, the soldiers as the sharp blades, and the cavalry as the vultures. It is the most difficult to break."

Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through what he said when King Lama Jinzhou of Nazasak interrupted him and said, "It's useless to talk too much. Let's see the truth on the battlefield!"

This formation may or may not be difficult to break, but it makes no difference to Lama Jinzhou.

Because he is now King Zasak with a yellow flag, a high-level slave.

If he cannot implement the will of the flag master Hong Tai, then his fate will not be much better than that of other low-level slaves.

As soon as Lama Jinzhou gave an order, the Eight Banners Mongolians under his command suddenly swarmed up, surrounded the men and horses under Jiang Xiang, and then galloped around like a revolving lantern while shooting tentatively inside.

"Tatars?" Jiang Xiang couldn't help but perked up when he saw the opponent's tactics, and he suddenly understood.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was customary to call the Mongols "Tatars" and the Jurchens "Rubbers".

Although it is said that Tatars and captives have always been called together, the Tatars and captives are different after all.

The former is the one that the generals of the Ming Dynasty most like to use to earn their military exploits, while the latter is the one that is often used to earn their military exploits.

In the past, when the generals of the Ming army met, if any of their subordinates did not have dozens or hundreds of "Tatar" heads, everyone would be embarrassed to say hello.

Of course, if anyone has not been decapitated by dozens or hundreds of heads by "Jianlu", then that is the real bullshit.

"General, the Tartars are coming!" Someone had already warned Jiang Xiang when he saw the Eight Banners Mongolians starting to shoot arrows at him and others.

"Understood, now order the gunners to fight back at the enemy cavalry!" Jiang Xiang nodded and ordered calmly.

The biggest "weapon" of the Ming army's car camp was the dense muskets and artillery.

If these firearms are deceived and fired in advance, the opponent will seize the opportunity to reload the firearms and rush in.

If the opponent is deceived by him and uses firecrackers and artillery, then the opponent will suffer heavy casualties.

The truth is this, the key is who is more patient, who is more operational, and who is more resourceful!

"Bang, bang, bang!" As the rebel gunners fought back, Eight Banners Mongolians fell off their horses one after another.

Although the Mongolian warriors were very good at riding and shooting, the effective range of their bows and arrows was only more than twenty steps. How could they compare to the rebel gunners who could shoot at a hundred steps?

Not to mention, a well-trained gunman can reach almost eighty paces, and can basically do one of three.

And with twenty steps, not to mention a hundred hits, you can at least have a 70% hit rate.

Under such a sharp and precise counterattack by the gunman, the Eight Banners Mongolia obviously could not hold on.

"Your Majesty, the 'thief's' blunderbuss is so sharp!" The Mongolian Gushan Ezhen Dalai with the red flag couldn't help but remind Lama Jinzhou, "This is not the way to go!"

"Got it!" The king of Zasak, Lama Jinzhou, nodded expressionlessly and couldn't help but ordered, "Let the men come back for now, and don't send a group of cavalry to deceive the cannons."

"If his firearms are all fired, we will seize the opportunity to swarm him. If he refuses, let the cavalry get close to fight!"
