It began to snow in October. Liu Bu, who trained the army in Jimo, also felt a big mistake. Rain can mean the arrival of winter, which means that this winter may be long, lasting at least four months.
If it is a good harvest year and the warehouse is full of grain, it can naturally be said that it is a good harvest year with auspicious snow, or someone will sigh: suddenly, it is like a spring breeze in one night, thousands of trees and pear flowers bloom.
Liu Bu, who trained in Jimo, also felt Liu Fuqi, that is, the cold weather meant that people could not go out to work, but the consumption increased further. For example, clothes and quilts could not be saved, and firewood burned more, because people needed to burn a fire to warm up, and they had to provide enough housing for so many victims, In such weather, you will starve or die of cold in the wild.
Since his father Liu Yuanqiao took over the disaster relief plan, the efficiency has been greatly improved. He can raise all the government forces in Laizhou, two prefectures and five counties to carry out disaster relief. They have set up a large number of resettlement sites, which are temporarily built around the city wall, but they all see a steady influx of refugees, Many people can't go to the resettlement site.
All of Liu Bu's new recruits were deployed here in Jimo for centralized training.
Because they had many experienced veterans in their hands during the last large-scale training, they could select many excellent instructors to do it on their behalf.
For example, the last time they conducted military training, all their work could not be done without Liu Zhongyong. But now, because they have a large number of excellent veterans and instructors, they can promote many veterans to be instructors, so that they can bring recruits and train recruits for them.
It can be said that this has alleviated Liu Bu's pressure to a certain extent. Their military training is not the same as at the beginning. The direct training is to train long gunmen and knife and shield players, or they are divided into multiple arms, mainly their knife and shield knives, archers, Musketeers and cavalry.
They are trained in basic combat skills by different instructors. After their first training, they will form an army formation for cooperative combat training.
This is prepared to deal with a powerful enemy.
Liu Bu told them that after he was not responsible for training recruits, he could spend more time in charge of logistics. Here, he has always worked hard to train a well-trained army, but to train a well-trained army, the first thing is the problem of equipment and military welfare. Liu Bu knows these two points.
For example, the Qi family army, which was the most powerful army in the world, was invincible and invincible. At the same time, their welfare, treatment and equipment were also the best.
For example, in their car camp, each battalion has 128 carts, and each cart has a Frankie gun. The whole battalion has more than 2800 people, nearly 3000 people, but these 3000 people have strong field combat ability.
All the firearms in the car camp were fired in one volley, with a total of 768 shells and bullets. The projectile projection can reach nearly 200 kg, which will cause extremely terrible killing effect at a distance of 80 meters.
If the above firepower density is properly used, it can bring extremely heavy losses to the enemy within effective range, which is enough to disintegrate a large-scale cavalry charge of 10000 people. It can be said that even the most elite Mongolian ironware will collapse in the face of such firepower.
Liu Bu's plan is to first train their troops in basic combat skills, and then set up car battalions and carry out walking car coordination.
If the infantry car is coordinated, he will consider using the car camp, because without these big car camps, they don't have Farah to fight quickly in the field with hundreds of kilograms of artillery.
The main defense of the car camp is based on the car array. When the time is right, the car will be used for active defense. When the power is not caught, the car defense will be changed to passive defense. In order to defend both sides, side cars are set up at the same time. Each chariot is equipped with 20 soldiers. There are 128 chariots in a battalion. They move like a big wall.
Liu Bu has been busy with the equipment and design of his car camp.
However, Qi's army has now disappeared and disappeared. The once powerful car camp no longer exists. It only exists in some documents. Moreover, there are few talents who are good at setting up car camps and have practical combat experience. They can't be obtained by excavation. They can only study by themselves and Liu Zhongyong, Looking for technical talents in this field.
When Liu Bu was thinking about this, he had a headache, mainly for people who had no practical experience in this field.
But Liu Bu knew that among the current military systems, car battalion was their only choice.
Because he has requirements for his army, that is, an army with artillery and rapid delivery and rapid movement ability, which means that they must use car camps to move these artillery quickly. Otherwise, they let soldiers run around with artillery all day, and they can't fight at all.
After the civil castle war, the Ming army's posture towards Mongolia changed from attack to defense, and the repair of the border army's defense was quickly put on the agenda. Until I Tahan broke through Gubeikou and plundered the capital and the tribute was granted during the Longqing period, the Mongolian tactics had not changed much. It was probably to concentrate superior forces to seek a breakthrough in weak points from the thousands of miles border of the Ming Dynasty, and then plunder and leave smoothly, If not, run away quickly.
The Mongolian army in this era was not as simple as the people thought. In fact, there was a big gap in equipment among the Mongolian army, which was different from the simple Mongolian army in Mobei and Moxi. For example, the Mongolian army in Monan near the Han area, such as Chahar, all equipped cavalry and Armored Cavalry had actually been equipped on a large scale in Monan Mongolia.
Armed cavalry brought a problem to the Ming army, that is, it can use rapid impact tactics to offset the firepower of the Ming army. At the same time, it can exchange armed cavalry as cannon fodder with the former army of the Ming army. As long as the former army of the Ming army collapses in the field, the rest is like cutting melons and vegetables for the Mongolian cavalry.
In order to resist the Mongols' tactics, the Ming army needed a tactic that could resist the Mongols' attack with a small number of troops relying on fortifications. Therefore, the Ming army introduced a light small car camp. This kind of car camp is not a HUS cart, but a light vehicle weighing no more than 100 kg. It was proposed by Zhu Mian after the civil castle.
After I answered the tribute, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou began to reform the tactics of car battalion on the basis of. Yu Dayou said, "a car must use firearms to defeat thieves, and a firearm must use a car to resist horses."
Change to the European saying: the Spearman must use the Musketeer to break the enemy, and the Musketeer must use the Spearman to resist the horse.
Qi Jiguang's car battalion first established the system and the amount of troops and equipment used. The trunk car before Yu Dayou was extended here by Qi Jiguang. The so-called front compartment chariot is a chariot directly facing the enemy's barrier in front. Yu Dayou's chariot is different from his predecessors. In addition to using two wheels, the original durable pine and willow have been replaced by durable wood such as nanmu, birch and elm. In addition, the big board in front is painted with tiger, a powerful animal, which is used to scare the enemy's war horses, and the five spears in front are used to resist the horses.
The Ming army under Qi Jiguang played the role of chariot mandarin duck array by stacking artillery on the train and cooperating with the tactics of bird gun.
The so-called "those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements", which is mostly Qi Jiguang. In the first year of Wanli, Mongolian chief Dong Fox and Mongolian cavalry invaded. Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, Jizhen car camp defeated the Mongolian army, and even chief Dong fox was captured alive.
In the third year of Wanli, the Mongolian division of duoyanwei invaded again. Qi Jiguang led his army to pursue Yumu and Dongguan for more than 150 miles, and captured its leader Chang Tu alive again... Successive victories brought great confidence to the Ming court, and Qi Jiguang's car camp tactics began to spread. Since then, in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, the car camp has become more powerful after ye Mengxiong's transformation, The Ming army also won the victory of the three Wanli expeditions.
In the late Wanli period, JianNu in Northeast China rose in an all-round way. At this time, the booming JianNu is actually very different from the impression of Daming.
Different from the Mongols, the slave army did not take riding and shooting as the main tactics. Jianzhou Nuzhen is close to the Han area, and under the constraints of the Ming government for a long time, it has been agricultural to a considerable extent. It also deals with fishing and hunting in peacetime, and pays attention to the cooperation of multiple arms in war.
In the early years, JianNu suffered from the loss of the Ming Dynasty's chariots in the Hunhe war. Therefore, they also studied a set of anti car battalion tactics. The most important point of this tactic is the shield car.
Nurhachi ordered that there must be shield vehicles to fight with the Ming army. Some people have been convicted of not carrying shield vehicles. The tactics of JianNu military shield vehicle is to use the shield vehicle on the first floor, with a plate of about 56 inches. The shape is similar to the chariot. It is specially used to avoid the guns of the chariot. The heavy cavalry is in the front, and the archers are behind to cover it. After that, the small car is loaded with soil to fill the trenches dug by the Ming army, and the horse army is the last.
This so-called anti car battalion tactics is to take advantage of the lax armaments and insufficient firepower of the Ming army in Eastern Liaoning. After resisting the initial firepower with shield vehicles, they use heavy infantry to break through the defense line, then fill the trenches, and finally only the cavalry harvest.
The succession of Chongzhen to the throne was followed by the beginning of internal chaos in the Ming Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was also declining. On the side of JianNu, Huang Taiji, the new leader, paid unprecedented attention to firearms, and the strength of both sides changed one after another.
In the battle of Dalinghe, Huang Taiji, who got the increasing firepower from Kong Youde and others, used shield vehicles to push forward, and the multi arms cooperation of infantry and cavalry to completely defeat the reinforcements of the Ming army.
At this time, the post Jin army was not too inferior to the Ming army even with firearms. Therefore, the car camp tactics of the Ming army had been difficult to give full play to the original power, and the collapse of the border army of the Ming army was inevitable. The car camp scenery was no longer.
