The two sides have shown quite good field ability in the face of cavalry, infantry and crossbowmen in the Ningxia Plain.
Before the Xixia rebel cavalry launched an attack, the Flying Tigers had already started firing the general guns.
Although riding a general gun can’t hit a flowering bullet, a solid bullet can still cause losses to the Xixia rebels, especially when facing a tight army.
The direct angle of a solid bullet is crashing, and sometimes it is like reaching out to smooth the sand surface and drawing a line, which directly smoothes an army array, that is, rebel soldiers.
This kind of Xixia rebels have never seen a terrible weapon, which instantly collapsed the Xixia rebel army array.
Dozens of guns fired dozens of solid bombs in unison, wrapped in a strong heat wave, crashing like thunder and lightning, marking their army with a bloody "straight line"
It’s not only the infantry array that is bombarded by the general of the chariot that wants to live, but also the cavalry array that is bombarded by shells.
One by one, the hot iron bullets were smashed in an instant, and some were directly embedded in the ground, and some of them could bounce up to give the Xixia rebels secondary damage.
Although the actual hit rate is not high, the power of the shells is still strong
One shot shattered all men and women.
One shot was powerful, and people and horses were broken, and bodies were spilled all over the place, and red and foul things filled the whole battlefield. Xixia rebels were overwhelmed by this round of shelling.
After five consecutive volleys of 50 chariots and general guns, the army cavalry decisively attacked the firearms phalanx and the normal infantry phalanx.
Chapter 1 The Spring Breeze Does Not Measure Yumen
At this moment, there is chaos, and the Xixia rebels are fighting back.
The soldiers were in a panic because they were hit by horrible firearms that they had never seen before.
A large number of soldiers screamed and tried to escape. They saw the horror of their comrades being broken by firearms. They were attacked by gods or monsters.
In this case, they couldn’t resist the army’s initiative to attack the rebels. The crossbowman collapsed without putting a few arrows.
As a result, a large number of people retreated and fled, and a few fought back and got nothing.
After a short period of resistance, the rebel cavalry was annihilated by the army cavalry department, the infantry was cut off by the army cavalry, the rear road was attacked by two sides, and it was also attacked by the gunners at close range.
Their faces were met with lead bullets, and they were beaten by gunmen. They were bloody and miserable.
A total of 20,000 rebels were smashed by 5,000 Shenji Battalion and 5,000 Hexi Corps troops in Ningxia Plain. The army killed more than 3,000 Xixia rebels, captured more than 16,000 people, and the army itself only killed 36 people and injured more than 100 people.
The main casualties were caused by the nervousness of the recruits of Hexi Corps who had never really been to the battlefield and were attacked by Xixia veterans who were eager to escape and survive.
A cavalry soldier died in the camp of the Magic Machine, and a long gunner died, leaving more than a dozen long gunners and musketeers with bruises or sprained feet.
Compared with the Xixia rebels, there were heavy casualties, not to mention those who were beaten to death. Some battlefields found bodies, even their arms or calves, interrupted by lead bullets, but people also bled to death.
There are also many rebel prisoners who have been injured by muskets and died several days after being captured.
The new weapons and tactics of the Shenji camp were displayed in Ningxia Plain, so that Jiang Liangping and the generals and soldiers of Northwest Corps also saw the great power of firearms and the great potential of firearms phalanx. Jiang Liangping suddenly yearned for artillery and muskets.
The battle took place at the end of October, and a whole November and December camp was held. As Jiang Liangping moved to four places, he killed more than 3,000 rebels in six wars, six wars and six victories, and the results were remarkable.
On December 11th, Xuanhua House, the last stronghold of the rebels, was captured by the artillery of Shenji Camp, and the last rebel fled to Shazhou and Guazhou Road, which was chased and killed by the army cavalry.
Then five thousand soldiers of Hexi Corps and five thousand magic battalions followed Jiang Liangping on the road to Guazhou and Shazhou, and prepared to take Shazhou, the westernmost part of Xixia territory, to the westernmost part of the current territory.
There is also a majestic mountain in Shazhou that has been hidden for a long time in history, namely Yumen, an important pass in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty. Yumen lost its importance in the early and late Tang Dynasty, and Yumen disappeared completely after Xixia invaded the Hexi Corridor.
Su Yonglin asked Jiang Liangping to lead people to find the former site of Yumen in those days. If it can be found, a monument will be erected to express the great emperor’s sigh over the vicissitudes of life.
Stop here. The rebel forces are gone.
There will be no resistance in Shazhou and Guazhouji. Jiang Liangping led the army to conquer, mainly to occupy Shazhou, a stable country, and establish a smooth and stable transportation line in western Xinjiang to start operating Shazhou.
Further west in Shazhou is the old country of the Khitans, the Western Liao Empire, which has never communicated with the state.
The counter-insurgency war went quite smoothly, and it was a bit hearty. Jiang Liangping wrote a war report to the Privy Council as usual, and then wrote to Su Yonglin to express the same thoughts as Su Haisheng.
Boss, I want a magic camp, too. What do you think if there are no 5,000 people, 4,000 people, 3,000 people, or even 2,000 people, I can equip myself?
Su Yonglin felt very funny after receiving the news at the end of December, and then wrote back to Jiang Liangping.
Send the camp back honestly, and don’t even think about it. This is a model for the future army reform of our model army. If you dare to touch me, I won’t slap you!
It is a good thing that the generals are all interested in the camp, and Su Yonglin is constantly trying to improve the efficiency of firearms production.
He constantly invested money to build coking workshops, ironmaking workshops, musket workshops and artillery workshops in the suburbs, and many military factories were built by him. Many craftsmen were recruited and sent to the workshops to continuously expand the production scale.
However, even if there is a large-scale production efficiency in manual firearms production, it is difficult to achieve high efficiency.
After all, human beings have their limits. If they really want high production efficiency to the point where firearms can be installed in the army, there is still a little bit of difficulty.
Although Su Yonglin has introduced the concept of mold and mechanical production to the producers, all this requires the birth of new power sources.
However, the research on steam engines has not yet reached the laboratory stage.
So far, it is qualified, and there are enough guns to form an army of 10 thousand people. The amount of materials is about enough to support the war for three months, which is about the amount of a local war
This amount is obviously insufficient.
Moreover, with the great power of the igniter troops, not only the infantry troops took a fancy to the importance of firearms, but also the water army began to seek to equip itself with firearms
After the First Song War, the Navy made a great contribution to realize the escort of the infantry and further defeated the Navy in the Southern Song Dynasty, which greatly threatened the strategic security of the Southern Song Dynasty and forced Zhao Gou to Lin ‘an for the first time.
Therefore, there is a strategic arm that can’t be ignored in the sequence of water army.
After the war, Su Yonglin reorganized the Army Navy, and reorganized the original Jiaolong Army into two armies, which was equivalent to giving the Navy two ranks, that is, the current two naval divisions.
The first Weihai Army stationed in Ninghai Prefecture, Shandong Province, is commanding Zhou Mancheng’s more than 400 sailors, with a total of 10,000 men.
The second naval army stationed in Liaoyang province, Fuzhou bugle, is commanding Kong Zhende, and the number of more than 500 sailors in large and small warships is also 10,000.
At the same time, the two naval divisions are also equipped with tens of thousands of auxiliary sailors and handymen who are responsible for some non-combat orderly.
Both of them led the navy in the first Song War and made great achievements. Su Yonglin, the national navy’s prestige and the soul of the army, made them an offensive naval commander.
There is no doubt that after seeing the power of the artillery, the two men immediately decided that the artillery would become the main weapon of the navy and would end the dominant position of the jump gang war to a considerable extent.
Firearms during the big rocket period could not prevent Song Jun Navy from approaching the naval navy to carry out gang jumping and ship collision, but after being equipped with artillery, they found that the power of artillery and the firing speed of general artillery were quite excellent.
If there are enough, they will have enough confidence to destroy the hostile navy before the war.
Moreover, as far as the current intelligence is concerned, although the navy division in the Southern Song Dynasty has been rebuilt on a certain scale, the number of warships of the main battle navy division is even less than 300, which can not be compared with the combat strength of the thousand-ship navy division.
The combat navy with a scale of 1,000 ships already has the power to dominate the East Asian waters, and once this power is assisted by artillery, it will be even more indestructible.
Chapter 19 Xixia political stop
As early as July of Hongwu four years, Zhou Mancheng and Kong Zhende jointly asked Su Yonglin to give them a certain number of artillery to equip the navy’s main warships.
At present, the two naval divisions have their own ten main warships equipped with ten guns.
In this way, 200 adaptive warships, vehicles and general guns were distributed.
And these 20 main ships equipped with artillery guns performed very well in the sea war exercises, and the navy division, which has strong lethality, has a greater demand for artillery. They have repeatedly requested the Privy Council and Su Yonglin to allocate artillery
In Su Yonglin’s current artillery production capacity, 40% will be given to the Navy. That’s it. The Navy still thinks it’s not enough.
