So he decided to resist.
More than a dozen village-level farmers’ associations and two township farmers’ associations in Ningzhou led the organization of more than a thousand peasant armed forces to attack the Zhou rebels, but despite full preparations, they failed, and dozens of people were forced to retreat and adopted siege tactics.
However, Zhou’s land staple food is quite large, so the encirclement tactics may not work even for a year or two, and they can even benefit from the continuous cultivation of their fortress land and continue to obtain food to fight a protracted war
The farmers’ association of Naining requested support from the regular army.
So this was given to the magic camp. Flying Tiger led the magic camp to the battlefield on the seventh day of September. After a little observation of the decent military fortress, he nodded his head.
"It’s really decent, but it’s just a native tile dog in front of the artillery."
Su Haisheng, who came with him, had some doubts about the position of the Flying Tigers, but he didn’t say anything, just waiting to see the performance of the firearms forces.
The flying tigers surveyed the surrounding terrain and decided to attack head-on
He asked Su Haisheng to put the 1,000 cavalry he brought on the other three sides to prevent the people inside from fleeing, so he planned to attack from the front and make a positive breakthrough.
Su Haisheng wakes up with kindness.
"Surrounded on all sides, leaving no way out. This is a big taboo for military strategists. They will fight to the death. Our army will have a greater loss. It is not appropriate to lose too many soldiers’ lives because of this group of insects. It is better to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, let them go one way, and then the cavalry will pursue them to win."
Flying Tiger knew Su Haisheng’s meaning but shook his head.
"They are like a piece of paper in front of the artillery in the military camp. There is no desperate struggle. Maybe I am confident that this group of rebels will be completely collapsed in the shortest time without pursuit."
Su Haisheng didn’t say anything when he saw that he had a well-thought-out plan, so he did as the Flying Tigers said, and put his cavalry on three sides of the military village to be surrounded on all sides.
The flying tiger brought fifty cars to ride the general gun. He looked at the size of the military camp and decided not to take thirty.
He lined up ten cars and rode general guns, and left ten behind them, and there were ten more to prepare for the ladder launch.
He predicted that a round of artillery attack would completely destroy the front defense of the military camp and seriously shake the morale of the army. If the effect is not good, another round of 30 rounds will completely destroy the defense of the military camp and the morale of the resistance army
The distance from the muzzle of the general gun to the military fortress is almost 250 meters, which is proved to be an effective range by exact experimental data.
Behind the artillery team is a phalanx of firearms.
Firearms phalanx is not a musketeer, but a phalanx composed of knife and shield hand, long gunner, crossbowman, cavalry and musketeers.
When Su Yonglin designed the firearms phalanx, he made reference to the early European musket phalanx, such as the famous Spanish and Dutch musket phalanx. These musket phalanxes are mainly composed of long gunners and musketeers, and most of the time they lack the cooperation of other arms.
Su Yonglin’s consideration of the weaponization of weapons and the extremely elite cold weapon combat troops, and the fact that the range of the arm bow and the strong crossbow is indeed far longer than that of the matchlock gun, is meaningless.
Even with crossbows, not to mention cavalry and other hand-to-hand combat units, they are not firearms that can replace European musketeers at the same time, and they are often covered with cold weapons.
It is a long process for firearms to replace cold weapons, and cold weapons are necessary in this process.
It is a great loss to give up cold weapons at one go and adopt too many firearms troops.
For example, during the confrontation between Zhu’s army and Houjin, they ate too many firearms, but the field troops were weak and the climate was humid. The firearms roots could not be used by cavalry and heavy infantry to annihilate the highly weaponized Zhu’s army.
What really dealt a great blow to Houjinqi’s army was the cold weapon and the white-armed soldiers.
Although firearms are the mainstream of the future and destined to become the king of future wars, at present, it is indispensable for the powerful assistance of cold weapons.
The musket phalanx in the camp of Shenji University has a strong cold weapon color.
Behind the front row of the knife shield hand is the musketeer, then the long gunner, and finally the crossbowman, and then the cavalry and artillery units with two wings are separated. The main coordination force is to move with the army.
As we move forward, the team forms a phalanx
During the war, the phalanx spread out to the two wings and became an impact army. The two wings of cavalry assisted in protecting the infantry and attacked the two wings of the army.
Before the official war, artillery fired first to bombard the enemy’s army array and tried to destroy it.
If the enemy array is really destroyed, the cavalry will attack the rear road and attack the array quickly to achieve the effect of body count.
If the enemy army array is not destroyed by artillery, it will continue to carry out regular warfare.
In regular warfare, the crossbowman, the cornerstone of the stable army array at the top of the knife and shield, took the lead in shooting arrows and rain attacks on the enemy army array for the first round because of his range advantage.
When Ragun Jin was close to the range of the matchlock, the three matchlock gunmen finished shooting as quickly as possible, and the crossbowman still kept shooting without breaking.
After finishing shooting, each matchlock gunner quickly moves to the back of the long gunner queue, in front of the crossbowman queue, and the long gunner queue gradually moves forward.
After the three rounds of firing of the matchlock, the three rows of matchlock gunmen retreated to the core position of the military array to load ammunition.
At this time, the main battle force becomes the sword shield hand and the long gunner, because the enemy army array has collapsed with high probability, and the long gunner and the sword shield hand can start harvesting the enemy’s head and expand the results.
If the musketeers need to fire again later, the commander of the army array can issue an order to repeat the tactics until the enemy completely collapses
However, according to the calculation of the Staff College, there is no equivalent device for firearms, and the enemy phalanx will not survive three rounds of shooting and will face collapse.
