Shield chariots were defeated in succession, and finally stopped being arrogant.

The shield car, which used to defend against artillery and muskets, was once again released.

This old fox Daishan is much more stable than the young people.

Like other banner owners, such as Duoduo Yuetuo, when they were confronting the Ming army, they now disdained to use shield cars.

What happened? In the end, they all died under their pride.

Although the chariots in the east were inspired by the Ming army, their combat ideas and chariot designs were completely different from those in the Ming army.

It can be said that the Eastern Charge is invented in a targeted manner and is used to restrain Ming munitions and firearm tactics.

When Nurhaci established the Eight Banners against the Ming Dynasty, the East lacked firearms.

Facing the Ming munitions with a range of more powerful than bows and arrows, Dongkai was at a disadvantage.

How to get the Eastern Cavalry to approach the Ming army to shoot bows and arrows has become a problem that Nurhaci needs to solve, so the shield chariot came into being.

The Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War has described the chariots from the Eastern Capitol:

"The card is very thick, with a layer of cowhide and a layer of iron. Small bricks and stones will not move when they hit, large bricks and stones will not roll down, and firewood will not burn when they throw it."

The design of the Dongkai chariot is simpler than that of the Ming army, and its main structure is the huge wooden sign erected on the two-wheeled chariot.

A car can move and cover twenty people. The wooden sign uses 2-5-inch thick wooden boards and paste iron and cowhide on the wooden boards to form a three-layer composite structure, which can be said to be a composite armor.

The Ming army chariots only need to defend against bows and arrows. The assembled wooden boards are very thin, and usually only 1 inch thick wooden boards are installed.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the light car designed by Ye Mengxiong was even only 6 minutes thick in order to reduce weight.

From such a sharp contrast, it can be seen that the Dongkai Tank focuses more on defense functions.

The heavy-duty costro guns in the 16th to 17th centuries could penetrate 4mm iron plates, but they were powerless to face the defense level of the shield car.

It is obvious that the bird guns and three-eyed guns used by the Ming army could not penetrate the Eastern Capitol chariots.

Secondly, as an opponent of the Eastern Capitol, the Ming army often faced the intensive charge of Mongolian cavalry during combat.

Therefore, when using artillery artillery, the Ming army often likes to use light artillery with fast firing speeds, such as Franchise, tiger squat cannons and other light artillery.

In addition, the Ming army often used a wide spread area that could strike a piece of enemy shotguns.

Qi Jiguang even referred to the smoothbore cannon of the breeze loading of the Fran aircraft to transform the original general guns of the Ming army into "Invincible General Cannons" that could fire five hundred leads in one shot.

The Ming army often did not use large artillery fire at far distances, but instead hid cannons that fired shotguns in the array.

The Mongolian cavalry only fired the cannon when they approached a very close distance, in order to pursue the effect of "striking twenty feet across" in one shot.

Unfortunately, the shotgun was just unable to defeat the Eastern Capitol chariot.

With chariots that can effectively resist Ming arms, Dongkai can rely on chariots to advance to the Ming army's battle formation.

Archers, infantry and cavalry can hide behind chariots. When approaching the Ming army, archers can hide behind the chariots and shoot at the Ming army.

Infantry can take the opportunity to rush out and rush into the Ming army camp to knock down the Ming army's chariots, deer antlers and other obstacles, and the cavalry rushed out from behind to disrupt the Ming army's formation.

The battle of using chariots in the East is the most typical example of the Battle of Daling River that took place in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

At that time, the military inspector Zhang Chun rescued the Daling River, and the Ming military vehicle camp fought a field battle with the Eight Banners.

According to the records of the Eight Banners Monthly Archives, the Ming army's infantry camp "draw trenches in square formations and set up guns and guns." The Ming army used chariots as the camp, digging trenches in cubes, and placing guns and guns to resist the Qing army.

So Huang Taiji ordered the Eight Banners Camp to arrange the chariots in front of the formation, and the Yala and the Mongolian cavalry were arranged behind the formation. The camps pushed the chariots forward, and the horse and infantry followed.

Although the Ming army "fired guns and fired like hail, and the arrows were like rain", under the cover of chariots, the eastern abducted troops approached the Ming army, and the horse and infantry rushed into the Ming army's infantry formation, and the Ming army was eventually defeated.

It can be seen that the use of chariots between the Ming and Qing dynasties has their own characteristics, and they were created and invented targeted weapons and tactics based on their own conditions and the enemies they faced in a specific period.

With the introduction of Western military technology, the military technology of both sides has made great progress.

The unique tactical weapon of the chariot was gradually eliminated.

Especially when Dongkai possessed the latest firearms, Red and Barbarian artillery of the Ming Dynasty brought by the rebel general Kong Youde, and the corresponding firearm tactics.

The Eastern Abduct no longer requires chariots to cover the Ming munitions in front of the formation, because the Eastern Abduct can also bombard the Ming military formation with artillery.

The Ming army can also use red barbarian cannons with longer ranges and higher accuracy to launch strikes on the Eastern Abducted camp.

So in the Battle of Songjin in the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Ming and Qing dynasties each took out dozens of cannons on Rufeng Mountain and fought a vigorous artillery battle.

The next day after the war, the Ming army cleaned up the battlefield and picked up more than 400 shells with only seven or eight kilograms.

Later, as the Ming army became weaker and weaker, Dongkai gradually disdained to use the shield van, a defensive equipment.

Dai Shan didn't know yet, and his second son Shuotuo was killed by the Ming army again.

He rode on a tall horse, with his two other sons Mandahai and Hakda protecting him.

Dai Shan slowly pulled out the scimitar and sent the order:

The shield cart went forward to consume Mingdog shells, and the siege ladder advanced behind. Once it approached the city wall, it immediately began to siege the city.

"twitter"

The messenger agreed and immediately conveyed the order to siege the city.

After receiving the order from Prince Li Daishan to siege the city, the shield chariot from the east began to advance towards the Liaoyang city wall.

At the same time, the siege ladder from Dongkai was also pushed out, and this kind of siege ladder is not a simple cloud ladder.

The siege ladder is definitely not the simple wooden and bamboo ladder that we often use in film and television works (that is the director who is fooling people)

Using that kind of wooden ladder to attack the city will not only cause great casualties, but also make it difficult to succeed.

There were also experts in the military camps in Dongkai. In order to deal with the Ming army's city walls, they began to make efforts to modify and upgrade the old ladder trucks of the past.

First, two sharper large iron hooks were added to the top of the ladder. Once this large iron hook hooked the Ming army's city wall, the hook tip could be deeply hooked into the cracks of the wall at the top of the city.

Not to mention that the Ming army on the city was difficult to leverage, even if it was withdrawn after the war, it would take a lot of effort.

Next, guardrails were added on both sides of the ladder, and raw cowhide was covered with on the guardrail - to prevent the enemy's sharp arrows and artillery.

After this kind of cloud ladder was designed, it was called a tube ladder.

The use of the trunk ladder in several sieges against the Ming army in the east was indeed exerted great power.

The Ming army once used fire attack strategy to burn many trunk ladders from the East.

But burning the water-splashed staircase with fire is a time-consuming task, and it takes at least a quarter of an hour.

One minute is enough from the tray to the head of the city, to the east riding the tray to the tray to the Ming army's wall.

The reason why this powerful staircase exited the battlefield was not because it was afraid of fire in siege and was repeatedly burned.

But there is a more important reason, that is, cowhide cannot be supplied.

You should know that making a staircase that can be used by several people to siege the city requires at least hundreds of high-quality cowhides.

In order to prevent arrows, stones and imitation fire, the cowhide must be stacked in several layers, and calculated based on the loss of thirty cylindrical ladders by the Eastern Capture.

A city was captured, which was equivalent to losing 3,000 oxen. At that time, the oxen were very precious even in the east.

This chapter is a bit watery, mainly to let everyone know the situation at that time. Dongkai did not just rely on cavalry to rush fiercely.
Chapter completed!
