Boom! Boom! Boom!

The artillerymen at the three artillery positions kept wiping the cannons and cleaning the barrels with brushes. Then they lifted the heavy artillery shells, loaded them with black powder from the muzzle, compacted them, and finally fired them.

Zhu Youxiao's cannon is still a backward portal cannon. There is a certain delay in firing. For the army, such a cannon is enough. This delay is nothing, but for the navy, it is too long.

Often after aiming and firing, the target has already changed its posture, and the shell stage has landed in another place.

Seeing the continuous firing of artillery, Zhu Youxiao thought divergently about the navy. The navy also needs better cannons, preferably flintlock cannons, which can be fired after ignition. Moreover, the power of solid bullets is too small and can only be smashed by kinetic energy.

People still need to develop explosive bombs.

Thinking of explosive bombs, Zhu Youxiao quickly thought of another thing, that is, the People's Liberation Army's heartless cannon. The official name of the heartless cannon is Feilei. It is a projectile weapon with explosive packs, and its main body is a gasoline barrel.

, then fill it with propellant, ignite it, and throw out an explosive package.

Although Zhu Youxiao does not have a gasoline barrel, he does have a half-length twelve-pound cannon. In terms of sturdiness, this iron cannon is definitely better than the gasoline barrel, but the caliber is smaller, but that doesn't matter, it can be expanded. As for the explosives

It doesn't matter if you pack it, just use black gunpowder instead, and stuff it with rocks, nails, and the like. Although black gunpowder is less powerful and useless against strong city walls, it's definitely useful for killing enemies.

With this, there seems to be no need for small-caliber artillery. To be honest, for enemy soldiers, a three-pound or six-pound solid bullet is only a relatively large deterrent. In terms of real damage,

It's really not that big. For example, now, Zhu Youxiao is firing hundreds of artillery fire, which seems huge, but in fact there is not much typhoid fever. So far, the real casualties of Jurchens are only four to five hundred people.

The power of solid bullets is reflected in attacking fortresses, but only large-caliber artillery is useful. Thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly realized that his pursuit of range on army artillery was a wrong decision. He has not really entered firearms yet.

In the era, all kinds of ultra-long-range cannons and tanks did not appear. Today's mainstream warfare still focuses on close combat and bow and arrow shooting.

The range of bows and arrows is ridiculous for artillery, even the smallest artillery.

"It seems... very exciting!" Zhu Youxiao's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he suddenly discovered a shortcut to improve his combat effectiveness.

Boom boom boom!

The violent sound of artillery sounded again, but the sound seemed to come from the seaside. Zhu Youxiao was interrupted and did not take it seriously. He turned around and looked over, and found that it was the navy that had started shelling. The navy's naval guns were comparable to those of the army.

The caliber is much larger, all twelve-pound cannons, and even the largest flagship has eighteen close-range cannons.

"Boom, give me a hard blast and kill these stupid Tatars!" Standing on the command building of the flagship, Yu Zigao held up his telescope and stared at the situation on land.

Under his bombardment, the Tatar cavalry near the seaside were beaten to pieces. They kept whipping their horses and fled inland. Next to the flagship, there were ten gunboats arranged in a battle line.

Gunboats, large and small, kept spitting flames to vent their anger.

"It's so enjoyable, it's so damn enjoyable." Yu Zigao put down the telescope with unfinished content, and then ordered, "Send my order to stop the bombardment, all warships weigh anchor and pursue along the coastline!"

It was not until the Tatar cavalry was out of the maximum range of the 18 close-range guns that Yu Zigao ordered the bombardment to stop.

The violent bombardment at the seaside and behind them completely exploded the entire Jurchen. Although the number of people who died directly under the cannon was very small for the 60,000-strong Eight Banners, no one dared to bet on this probability. Who knew whether the shells would be fired at the next moment?

Will it fly to my head?

No one can guarantee that, especially those military aristocrats who have been accustomed to enjoying the glory and wealth since the beginning of the army. Faced with this powerless situation, they have no idea of ​​counterattack. They just want to take their troops and horses to leave this ghost place. Everything

We can wait until we get out of here.

"The red cannons of the Ming Dynasty can be so powerful when used together. Damn it, why don't we Jurchens have it!" Nuerhachi was the first to take the lead. As he ran, he thought fiercely in his heart. He also thought

Want a cannon.

"Stop the bombardment and order Li Tu to pursue ten miles in succession!" Seeing that the entire Jurchen formation was completely disintegrated under the continuous bombardment, Zhu Youxiao began to dispatch his only 5,000 cavalry.

He was not worried about the safety of these cavalry. In such a chaotic situation, the entire Eight Banners military organization had long since collapsed. The soldiers did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers. The pursuit at this time was the time to expand the results of the battle. What's more, Zhu You

The colonel did not believe that the pursuing cavalry general did not even know that the priority was to destroy the enemy's massed soldiers.

Boom!

The neat and crisp sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, and became louder and louder. The breastplate made of black lacquer shone in the sun, making people feel solemn and depressed just looking at it. The neat armor, neat horses, neat

Cavalry troops, densely packed into a wall, exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

Although it was a pursuit, Li Tu did not increase his speed all at once, but slowly controlled the rhythm of the horses' running, getting closer to the chaotic Tatar cavalry little by little.

The other party was in a panic at this moment and had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He just kept whipping the horses and ran forward desperately, regardless of whether the bombardment stopped.

"Clean the battlefield, break up camp after lunch and pursue pursuit!" After giving the order for the last day, Zhu Youxiao turned around and returned to his camp. He wanted to record his thoughts just now so as not to forget them later.

Although the collision between the Jurchen Eight Banners and the Yulin Army was fierce, it was very short in the world. It only lasted an hour. It was not yet noon, and there was still one afternoon, just enough to kill another wave.

As for Sun Chengzong and his party who were chased by Nuerhachi before, they probably started to lead people to retreat to Shanhaiguan as soon as the Jurchens withdrew. With the quality of the Liaodong Army in their hands, they would not go crazy at this time.

Rivals of the Tatars.

The fierce bombardment caused the Jurchens to be in chaos. No one thought of gathering Han slaves and transporting baggage, and they all ran forward regardless.

After they settled down a little, they discovered that a large number of cavalry with bright armor and murderous intent were chasing them. Nuerhachi, who had not yet caught his breath, was worthy of running away again.

During this period, he tried to organize the soldiers and horses several times, but they were all solved by the opponent's charge. After confronting him several times, Nuerhachi painfully discovered that the group of cavalry was simply not human. The three- to four-meter-long lances

Although it can only be used once, it is an excellent weapon for charging into battle. As soon as one charges, the person is stabbed down before he can touch the opponent, and then the formation breaks up.

The opponent's sabers and armor were also excellent weapons. The swords were made of hundred-forged steel and the armor was full-body armor. Nuerhachi couldn't bear the armor and weapons captured from the Ming army.

At this time, Houjin was still in its early stages. It was not the Qing Dynasty where blacksmith shops stretched for twenty miles outside Shengjing City. Most of the armor and weapons on his body were captured, and his own forging ability was not strong enough, so his output was not much.

Facing the water-forged swords of the Yulin Army's cavalry, these armors were simply not enough, and only the elites wearing double armor could barely withstand them.

After Nuerhachi failed several times, he finally gave up and fled forward, sandwiched by his own soldiers. The huge setback cast a heavy shadow on his heart, making his head dizzy and unable to move at all.

He couldn't think about it. If his soldiers hadn't done their duty, he might have died in this pursuit.

"Khan, hurry up and organize a counterattack from the front. The opponent only has more than 5,000 people and they are heavily armored. There is no strength left at this moment. It is a good time for us to fight back!" Just as Nuerhachi was confused, he didn't know how long he had been running.

When, Huang Taiji's still calm voice suddenly came to mind.

After hearing what he said, Nuerhachi smiled miserably. The opponent was almost running out of energy. Is there anyone left on his side? I'm afraid he might be worse than the opponent. But despite this, after knowing the number of enemies he was chasing, he was still full of energy.

Zhen, there are 60,000 mounted infantry on your side, how can you withstand the pursuit of 5,000 people?

The reason why they were forced to run around before was just because the fierce shelling disrupted the formation and made people lose their mind. However, it did not mean that the Jurchen cavalry were weaker than the opponent. Thinking of this, Nuerhachi used up the last remaining strength and ran forward, preparing to be in front.

A Gao Po raised his big bag and organized resistance.

Huang Taiji, on the other hand, turned around and rushed over with the more than a thousand cavalrymen he had managed to gather and save, and fought hard with the opponent.

boom!

After a silent shock, the two groups of cavalry collided fiercely. However, it was obvious that the Yulin Army, which still had long lances left, was clearly superior. The cavalry in front could hit them from a distance with their lances.

Under the huge impact of the Jurchen cavalry, the two layers of armor on the Jurchen cavalry were useless at all, and the spearhead directly penetrated the Jurchen cavalry.

Then, a huge reaction force came, and the entire gun shaft was directly shaken and broken. The cavalry of the Yulin Army was obviously familiar with the temperament of the lance in their hands. Just when they stabbed someone, their hands immediately let go and broke.

The grab for the bar did not hurt them. After throwing away their lances, they pulled out their sabers with their backhands, held them horizontally and ran towards the front.

With well-equipped equipment and large numbers, the thousand cavalry gathered by Huang Taiji were no match for the Yulin Army. However, his ultimate goal was not to gather and disperse the opponent, but to delay time. Obviously, he did this, and these thousand cavalry

But they are stubborn and don't care about their lives. Even if their formation is scattered, they will not give in. They dare to rush forward alone, just to stop them for even a second.

There is no doubt that they succeeded. After Li Tu led his men to annihilate the tenacious thousand people, Nuerhachi had already gathered a team of about three to four thousand people on that slope, and there were many people around them.

In the distance, countless people were moving towards that side.

"Retreat!" Li Tu, who was on the horse, made a clear judgment. Although he could still make a charge, the Jurchens had already passed the initial period of chaos. If they continued to attack at this time, it would be a bit outweighing the gains.

Our own cavalry is precious and cannot be exchanged for one with the opponent.
Chapter completed!
