Chapter 1599 Jiang Quanyi's tactics
PS: Thanks to book friend "Danzu Wu from Guangwu Road" for his monthly vote.
What Lan Bai unexpectedly expected was that Jiang Quanyi had more sinister, shameless and despicable methods.
Due to the violent explosion, smoke and dust were raised.
It is impossible to observe the movements inside the city outside the city.
In addition, he encountered a catastrophe unexpectedly, the Qing cavalry outside the city were more "soothing" their minds, or gathering them to treat the wounded.
No one would think that under such a situation, the defenders in the city could still turn over.
Yes, this explosion did catch the Qing army off guard and looked extremely embarrassed, but it could not change the situation.
The casualties of thousands of people could not shake Lan Bai's army.
Therefore, more people, including Lan Bai, believed that this was the desperate bet of the defenders before retreating.
When the smoke and dust settle, you can reorganize the team into the city.
It's just a somewhat embarrassing episode.
It is precisely because of the consensus of the enemy from top to bottom that no one ordered the warning or the entire team.
In other words, after a quarter of an hour, under the power of the explosion, the Qing army's already scattered and chaotic team was still chaotic.
So, under Jiang Quanyi's "strict training", they learned how to be a human being and how to fight.
....
Jiang Quanyi's methods have always been vicious and he doesn't listen to them very well.
If he bites it, it will be difficult to escape unscathed.
According to Jiang Quanyi, even if I was defeated, died, and before I died, I had to tear a piece of flesh off the enemy, so that the enemy would be heartbroken every night in the future and never forget it... Then, in fact, I was not defeated, I was still alive, and lived in the hearts of the enemy.
If you search for the entire Northern Expedition Army like this, only Jiang Quanyi can do it alone. Even if it was Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng would never joke about the lives of the soldiers and fight a defensive counterattack, and it would be a defensive counterattack with the enemy and our forces completely disproportionately. This is not gambling, but a gambling life, a madman gambling life.
Because of the preparations in advance, Jiang Qianyi retreated the defenders two miles away, which should have been closer, but Jiang Quanyi meant that it would be too unfair to die under the enemy's sword or arrow, but it would be too unfair to die under the rocks caused by the explosion of his own gunpowder.
Listen, listen, isn’t this guy who can play with nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers regardless of the fate of them, but insist on caring about the casualties caused by the splash of gravels? Isn’t it ridiculous?
This is like when countless soldiers starve to death, he is worried that the soldiers will choke to death if they eat too fast.
But his soldiers only take his own tricks.
When the explosion sounded, the soldiers surrounding Jiang Quanyi looked at Jiang Quanyi with admiration and obedience, as if the person in front of him was taking them to heaven, not hell.
My brother, do you know that there are tens of thousands of enemy cavalry outside the city?!
....
Those who are prepared, those who are not prepared will take advantage of it.
This is indisputable.
When Jiang Quanyi led his subordinates, who were less than 3,000 people, rushed out like a group of refugees from the smoke-filled city wall, the enemy was shocked, and Lan Bai was also shocked.
A little bit of shock was in exchange for the defenders rushing to less than a mile in front of them.
When countless black bumps were thrown at me, the Qing army learned their lessons, and that thing would explode!
These cavalry are not Dorgon's iron armored heavy cavalry, and they cannot use heavy armor to resist the power of grenade explosion.
Therefore, the Qing army consciously chose to retreat.
Lan Bai was retreating too, and he turned his horse's head and retreated faster.
There is no need to restrain the retreating soldiers, because four legs are definitely faster than two legs. After setting a distance and organizing a counterattack, these southern barbarians will definitely collapse under the iron hooves.
Lan Bai had even thought about it that when he counterattacked, he would kill all the southern barbarians and then trample on their corpses back and forth to relieve his hatred.
The spontaneous retreat of the Qing army was undoubtedly correct. The team was cholera and the cavalry had no speed. How could it fight against the rushing defenders?
Moreover, the defenders have grenades and muskets in their hands, which are weapons that do not require contact. Moreover, compared with the range of the bow, it is the difference between long-range and short-range.
Lan Bai is indeed a veteran on the battlefield and has rich experience. In his opinion, his experienced army will not collapse due to some setbacks. This is an orderly retreat.
However, Lan Bai ignored one, a crucial point.
That is the lineup of tens of thousands of cavalry, with a long depth.
Even if it had already spread out and faced the city wall several miles wide, it was three or four miles deep.
The previous explosion did kill hundreds of Qing troops, but the Qing army outside the city wall was not very harmful, and more were injured by shock and flying gravel.
This group of minor injuries is numerous. So, when Jiang Quanyi led his troops to suddenly counterattack, the Qing army, who were not injured in the front, quickly turned around and retreated. Naturally, the group of people who were left behind were slower. Some of these people were injured lighter, and they could control their own war horses, while others were more seriously injured and needed someone to support them.
This caused the Qing army's retreating team to be loose, messy and continuous.
That would be very terrible!
Whether the injury is mild or severe, the injured person lacks resistance, especially when the main force retreats, he falls behind and is pursued by the enemy, and cannot be expressed in words.
This despair left them with only one thought in their minds - to run, run to death.
But can you run past these defenders who have accelerated and charge with their feet?
This is almost impossible in a short period of time, at least before the warhorse accelerates.
The war horses accelerated very quickly, but the problem is that everyone has retreating people in front of them, and the depth of the team of several miles is a huge pit. The continuous reflux of the Qing cavalry is like a rewinding wave, which naturally revolves to both sides when obstructed from the front.
So, the formation of the team began to be chaotic.
The most important thing is that Jiang Quanyi's troops chased and fired while chasing, and did not load them after firing, and continued to chase and grenades.
If you don’t aim at the muzzle, you can hit the best, and the grenades will be thrown even more messy. As long as the direction is right, it doesn’t matter whether you blow up or not. What’s important is to force the enemy to escape.
In fact, if someone stands on the city tower at this time, no, the city tower has been blown up at this time. It should be said that standing on a high place, you will find a strange phenomenon on the battlefield.
A wave of the back of the defenders was beating the front of the Qing army.
Continuously slapping makes the previous wave "going forward" and further the "waves" in front.
The originally ordered "waves" in front were constantly beaten by the back waves, and finally became messy. Then, the back waves were replaced and took advantage of the back waves to shoot the waves in front.
Lan Bai, who was running back, was stunned.
In fact, he couldn't understand this tactic, he thought it was just an emergency.
But Jiang Quanyi disagreed because he was prepared to use this trick.
This tactic has a nice name, called "reverse bead curtain".
