Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Because elites may not always be able to do what is ordered and prohibited, but those who can do what is ordered and prohibited are definitely elites.

There is no doubt about this!
"General, the thief has taken the bait!"

"The end will fight!"

Hailan on the side saw the Ming army leaving the camp, his eyes flashed with fighting intent, and he spoke.

Hearing this, Agui nodded calmly and said.

"It's true, the thief bit the hook!"

"But, Hailancha, can your Sauron soldiers still fight?"

Yesterday, in a fierce battle outside Changsha City, Sauron's soldiers were defeated and returned with heavy losses.

It has almost lost its combat effectiveness!

Therefore, Agui has this question.

Hearing this, Hai Lancha nodded and said.

"Don't worry, General, the sharp blade of Sauron's soldiers has not been broken yet!"

"As long as the military order is issued, Sauron soldiers can still fight and dare to fight. They will definitely be able to penetrate the array of Ming thieves and avenge their shame!"

Of course, when Hailancha said this, it was actually a bit false.

In yesterday's battle, more than half of Sauron's soldiers were lost in one breath, so how could they really not be affected?

The reason why he stood up and asked for a fight was just because he was unwilling to do so.

He felt that the reason why the Ming army was able to win yesterday was because Sauron's soldiers and horses were exhausted.

But today, Sauron's soldiers' horses are very physically fit.

If we fight again, the loser will definitely not be their Sauron soldiers!
Hearing this, Agui took a deep breath and said.

"Okay, then, I will leave this battle to you, Hailancha, to take charge of the battle."

"Get ready. Later you will be responsible for leading the Sauron soldiers to cut through the formation of the Ming thief army that is fighting the Henan Green Camp."

"The cavalry from the Xishan Jianrui Battalion and the Gansu-Shaanxi Green Battalion will also quickly follow up and cooperate with you to annihilate the Ming thief troops who left the camp."

"Then capture the Ming army's camp!"

Agui knew that the greatest advantage of the Qing Dynasty over the Ming thieves in this battle was the cavalry.

It's the mobility of the cavalry!
If he wants to give full play to his advantages, he can't play infantry attack with the Ming army.

The Ming army must be mobilized out of the camp, and then use the mobility advantage of one's own cavalry to concentrate superior forces on a certain front in order to annihilate the Ming army in the field.

And Henan Green Camp was the bait laid by Agui.

The reason why he chose to set the battlefield in a circle surrounded by the Ming army was because Agui felt that if they did not have the upper hand, the Ming army's troops might not leave the camp.

In other words, Agui's battle was actually a dangerous move.

The bet is that the cavalry of the Qing army can severely damage the Ming army leaving the camp before the Ming army reinforcements arrive, and even defeat and annihilate the Ming army leaving the camp.

Then capture the Ming army's camp outside Changsha City!
Use this to turn the tide of the battle!

But then again, there are so many smooth battles.

Most of the time, the generals who lead the troops are actually gambling.

The reason why Agui asked Henan Green Camp to be the bait and the bet was because the situation in Henan was relatively stable. Even if Henan Green Camp was damaged, Henan would not be in chaos.

But although the main force of the White Lotus Sect in Hubei was defeated, its remnants continued to flee.

Hubei Green Camp may still be of great use in the future, so Agui does not intend to let Hubei Green Camp take risks.

Also, Chen Yaozu, the leading general of Hubei Green Camp, is the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou and is stationed in Jingzhou.

Chen Yaozu had a good relationship with Jingzhou General Ersu, the Eight Banners garrison general, and they were good fair-weather friends.

Agui didn't want to offend Jingzhou General Ersu, so he naturally wouldn't let Hubei Green Camp take risks and use them as bait.

And the remaining Shaanxi Green Camp is even more impossible!

The Shaanxi Green Camp was the main force in this battle. No matter how hard Agui tried, he couldn't let his main force act as bait to lure the enemy.

Therefore, I have no choice but to say sorry to Henan Green Camp!
Who said they have no backers?

But compared with the Hunan Green Camp, which was assigned to tackle tough tasks, the Henan Green Camp was still better...

On the battlefield outside the Ming army's camp, artillery fire roared, and before the infantry from both sides came into contact, gaps were blasted out in the Qing army's array.

The array of Henan Green Camp was bombarded by Ming army's field artillery for several rounds, and the number of casualties was rising.

The Qing army's infantry array was obviously shaken!
However, under the pressure of the supervising team, the Henan Green Camp still barely maintained the array and continued to advance.

But the Ming army was loading their muskets in an orderly manner, preparing to line up and shoot.

As the distance between the two-shot arrays got closer and closer, scattered gunshots began to sound on the battlefield.

That was the Ming army's rifle shooters firing.

They wanted to use such long-distance sniping to cause damage to the Qing army and lure the Qing army's birds to shoot indiscriminately.

To put it bluntly, this is a psychological tactic.

Just like when the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were in Liaodong, they often sent dead soldiers to shoot in front of the Ming army's formations every time there was a war, luring the Ming army's musketeers to start shooting indiscriminately while the Qing army was still out of range.

Of course, this tactic usually involves abusing the food.

Once faced with well-trained elites, it would be a joke.

On the battlefield, the Ming army's rifled guns fired very accurately, as if the king of hell was calling names.

Every time gunfire rang out from the Ming army, some soldiers in the front row of the Qing army would fall to the ground.

Soon, the gunners of the Qing army began to be unable to bear the pressure, and they pulled the triggers one after another and started shooting indiscriminately.

There was a burst of gunfire, and driven by the herd mentality, the soldiers in the front row of the Qing army almost rushed to pull the trigger... At this time, the distance between the arrays of the Ming army and the Qing army was still almost 150 meters.

At this distance, even the Ming army's flintlock rifles had no chance of hitting, let alone the Qing army's shotguns.

A burst of gunfire rang out, and no one on the Ming army fell to the ground.

At the same time, the Ming army continued to advance, with neat formations, neat footsteps, and loud chants. The morale of the Ming army was quite high.

There was another round of shelling, and several more holes were blasted out in the array of the Henan Green Camp in front of them.

As the distance got closer, the Ming army's artillery fire included not only solid bullets, but also a large number of shotgun shells.

Shotgun shells were sprayed out of the barrel and flying in the air.

The projectiles formed a dense barrage, and wherever they passed, Qing soldiers fell to the ground in rows.

The distance between the arrays on both sides is still getting closer!

Until the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps, the Ming army's musketeers received the order and began to aim their guns and prepare to shoot.

"Everyone has it, stack in and shoot, release!"

The next moment, a neat row of gunfire sounded.

The musketeers in the first row of the Ming army all pulled the triggers, then stood still and began to load the muskets in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, the second row of musketeers stepped forward, jumped over the first row of robes, and then pulled the trigger.

Under stacked shooting, even though the muskets used by the Ming army were muzzle-loading guns, they still delivered continuous firepower.

Although the Henan Green Camp was also fighting back, the messy shotgun fire was no match for the Ming army's stacked volleys.

The banging gunshots resounded across the battlefield, and all the soldiers in the front row of the Qing army fell to the ground.

Soon, deserters began to appear in the Qing army.

Not even the Supervisory Team could stop this trend.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army launched a bayonet charge.

The shrill charge horns resounded across the battlefield, and the Ming army's offensive was like a wave.

Agui looked at the battlefield, watching the defeat of the Henan Green Camp, watching the Ming army block the attack, without saying a word.

But at this time, he was indescribably shocked!
It turns out that firearms can still be played like this!

It turns out that if firearms are used properly, their power can be so terrifying!
How long did it take for the [-] Henan Green Camp to be defeated head-on by [-] Ming troops?

It is really evident that the Ming army is good at fighting.

Agui gathered her thoughts, suppressed the surprise in her heart, turned to Hailancha and Chatai and said to them.

"It's time for you to attack!"

"Go all out to defeat the Ming army that left the camp, and then use the defeated troops to capture the Ming army's camp."

The current situation on the battlefield is that the five thousand Henan Green Camp has been defeated, and the Ming Army has begun to pursue them.

Even if the Ming army discovered that the Qing cavalry had broken into the battlefield at this time, it would take some time for them to gather their forces and withdraw to the camp.

This gave the Qing army the opportunity to annihilate them!
Agui seized this opportunity very keenly.

The remnants of Sauron's troops led by Hailancha and the Xishan Jianrui Battalion led by Chatai quickly rushed to the battlefield.

At the same time, the Shaanxi Green Camp, which was confronting the Ming army at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, also detached a cavalry force and charged directly at the Ming army that was chasing the defeated Qing army.

……

On Yuelu Mountain, Zhu Jing'an continued to observe the battlefield.

Watching the Ming army defeat the Henan Green Camp and start their pursuit, he had a smile on his face.

But soon, he noticed the Qing cavalry rushing into the battlefield.

And the changes in Shaanxi Green Camp at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.

Zhu Jing'an's expression changed, until Agui, a fisherman, saw the fish biting the hook and was about to reel in the line.

He quickly asked the messengers to raise the flag and order the Ming army, which was chasing the defeated Qing army, to close their formation.

Form a hollow phalanx and prepare to engage the enemy!

There is no doubt that the hollow square formation is miraculous against cavalry.

This is an ironclad fact that has been proven countless times on the battlefield!

However, it should be noted that the hollow phalanx has a miraculous effect on cavalry.

But if you only use hollow square formations to deal with cavalry, then you have cerebral palsy.

The only thing that can really pose a fatal threat to cavalry is artillery.

The only way is to use artillery first to break up the cavalry group charge, and break the group charge cavalry into scattered cavalry squads.

Only the hollow square array can exert its due effect.

Otherwise, once the cavalry launches a large-scale charge, how can it be possible to withstand the overwhelming charge of the cavalry group based on the thinness of the hollow square formation and the rate of fire and density of firepower of the muzzleloader?

If the artillery cannot break up the cavalry group charge, it will only be an instant for the hollow phalanx to be overwhelmed by the cavalry charge.

At the same time, Zhu Jing'an continued to order.

"Instruct our cavalry troops to attack immediately, attack Agui's central army, penetrate the Qing army's array, and capture the flag for General Gu Zhan!"

Zhu Jing'an did not let the Ming army's cavalry attack the Qing army's cavalry because he knew that the Ming army's cavalry was no match for the Qing army's cavalry.

If the Ming cavalry were to engage in cavalry combat with the Qing cavalry, they would be risking their lives.

It’s not like that! (End of chapter)
