To the south of the carriage camp, the Oirat military formation that was suddenly bombarded by artillery shells was shattered to pieces. The large defense line of thousands of infantry and cavalry was like a spider web torn to pieces by the violent wind and rain, and almost every gap was torn open by the two teams that rushed to block it.
The cavalry also folded in front of the ditch, and were covered by rockets in the panic of the shells. They hurriedly retreated and took advantage of this opportunity. The cavalry led by Marco rushed to the ditch and threw the sandbags carried on the backs of the mules into the ditch.
In the middle of the battle, several narrow passages were filled in an instant. Rockets shot into the sky, artillery shells roared at the side, and huge lead pellets were pushed across the battlefield and thrown into the distance. The border soldiers wearing red cotton armor crossed the ditch under Ma Ke.
The team regrouped and launched an assault on ten times the enemy. The guard on the left wing of Guardat was Doji Taiji from the Hot Ministry. He was the sixth son of the national adviser Khan. As early as the smoke and dust were billowing in Liu Chengzong's formation, Doji Taiji arrived.
He realized that the Han army was about to break through, but due to his misjudgment, the 6,000 Oirat regiments south of Cheying could not form a complete defense line at this time. Their defense in the southwest was tighter, and there was a large gap in the due south.
Doji Taiji's previous judgment was that the Han army would retreat to the west where there was no encirclement. All the Oirat leaders, including the national advisor Khan, had judged this way. This was their strategy of moving the Han army from east to west in Queyue formation.
The military truck camp was wrapped up, forcing it to retreat westward, and then pursued it during the retreat. Everyone knew that the truck camp would have counterattack force, but no one recognized it. They believed that the truck camp came from the south.
Therefore, the Oirat leaders all thought that the Han army would go north. They never expected that the Han army's assault direction would be south. The suppressive fire was suddenly bombarded by artillery. Dozens of large and small cannons detonated
In the middle, the whole camp was immediately thrown into chaos. The morale-defying guard Duoji Taiji was so angry by his troops that he was so angry that he did not rush to give the order. He ordered the soldiers to gather and arrange the camel city and chariot city. He could see it most clearly in the formation.
, rocket artillery, in this situation where it cannot kill a few people, but in this situation where a few people are not killed, artillery is the weapon of the army. The officers did not dare to gather their subordinates together, and the soldiers were scattered.
, how to stop the enemy’s attack?
Duoji Taiji had just thought of so many things and was in a panic when he saw a man and a horse rushing out of the Han army's carriage camp. He was so frightened that he rushed out and ordered the guards to be pushed up.
There were only a hundred or so cavalry guards blocking the enemy, but from their skills to their equipment, they were all Hete's masters. They were almost unbeatable. These more than a hundred cavalrymen were different from the other cavalrymen wearing leather armor in Hete's department.
Wearing mail armor and four-mirror armor from trade, the mounts also wear mail armor as chests and wild animal skins. They are also equipped with spears, sabers, hatchets, bows and muskets. They are treated favorably and favorably. They are Doji Taiji's favorite guard cavalry.
After receiving the order, he quickly completed the assembly. Under the leadership of a Dahan, he whistled on his horse and galloped away to welcome the Han cavalry formation that was six times his own. Duoji Taiji gritted his teeth and issued such an order. He knew very well in his heart,
I am afraid that the guards he trained with a lot of money will never come back. He took a deep look at the backs of the guards without hesitation, turned around and shouted to his men at the top of his lungs: "Form up, form a formation. Thousands of people in the south camp are in chaos and the special troops are in a hurry."
They gathered to the southwest, used camels and Lele chariots to set up a simple circular formation, and deployed troops to defend the perimeter with muskets and bows. It was not until the formation first emerged that Doji Taiji could finally feel it from thousands of tribesmen.
There was a slight sense of security, but when he looked north, the brief battle on the battlefield once again made him feel his heart in his throat. The guard cavalry only had more than a hundred cavalry. In order to buy thousands of troops time to form formations, they could only spread out two rows through cracks.
In a horizontal formation, facing Ma Ke's six formations lined up in a row, they executed a nearly suicidal charge. They held the ignited match ropes, galloped and fired when they were a hundred paces apart, drew their bows at extremely fast speeds, and fired three or even two arrows.
, the distance between the two armies was only thirty or fifty steps, and only a few people could draw out their muskets and get close. In a flash, the spears and muskets were intertwined, the gunshots and roars flew together, and a crowd of men and horses were thrown on the battlefield.
After penetrating the horizontal formation of the special guard cavalry, they still galloped forward unabated. Behind them, a few guard cavalry who were lucky enough not to fall off their horses slowed down and looked around. After the disaster, they had dumb faces and calmed each other down.
Slowly approaching, a roar came from nowhere. Several Han cavalrymen who had been knocked off their horses raised their bows and arrows, or charged with spears. Some even snatched the ownerless horses. Fighting broke out again between the two sides. Ma Ke fell off his horse regardless of his behind.
The sergeant held up his long sword while running to suppress the charging pace of the various units, and stabilized his pace at small steps. Facing the hastily assembled circular formation a hundred steps away, he led the team to move slightly eastward, but did not dare to directly cross
Passing through, because the Oirat camp assembled in the east was also billowing with smoke and dust, making the gap look like a big net. But he didn't know that Huang Shengxiao, who was in the south of the vehicle formation, looked at his back and clenched his fists, almost dying of panic as he watched the enemy troops form.
It was a good time for the artillery to show off its power, but Ma Ke led six cavalry teams and got stuck in the middle, leaving him undecided. As the successor of the marshal's artillery force Fang Yao, Huang Shengxiao was used to cooperating with Yang Yao, Zhang Tian and other cavalry generals.
On a small battlefield where heavy artillery can cover a radius of several miles, the training camp of the Marshal's Mansion has a basis for coordinated operations under long-term collaborative training in Juwan. If the one rushing in front is the training camp led by Yang Yao, they will fight with the enemy.
Maintaining an appropriate distance, Huang Shengxiao would not let the twelve heavy cannons blast the enemy with shells from above their heads, and then the cavalry would launch an attack while the shells were attacking the enemy. But now it was Ma Ke who had never cooperated before.
Most of the Ming troops led by his subordinates surrendered. The distance between them was wrong. Huang Shengxiao could not order the bombardment. Huang Shengxiao found that it was useless to rush. Ma Ke's soldiers were faster and slower for a while, and finally moved a little eastward, which made him determined.
If they don't coordinate, they don't have the ability anyway. Instead of risking coordination, it's better to let Marco get out of the shooting range, just in time to use the thirty-two lion cannons with a maximum range of 600 steps. If they can release them all, he can just shout
A man said: "Go quickly and ask Marco to evacuate to the east. Do you want the cavalry to stand there and get shot?"
The distance between the two sides was only 200 steps, and the cavalrymen quickly caught up to convey Huang Shengxiao's order. Only then did Ma Ke realize that there were artillerymen behind him. He glanced back and led the team to escape to the east, while counting the casualties of the forty-four men behind him.
The light and heavy artillery fired again. The shells in the smoke were clearly fired at two shooting angles. The light artillery almost adjusted the angle to the highest level, and shot the shells into the air like a goddess scattering flowers. According to the weight, it fell downwards in the formation. The momentum was so powerful that it scared people.
The Hete troops in the circular formation all raised their heads to dodge, but the light cannon at this distance was better than nothing. The weight of the shells was there. If you were lucky, you could kill or injure an enemy. If you were unlucky, you could only
Compared with a small hole in the hard beach, the flat fire of twelve heavy cannons shines brightly, the heavy cast iron ball bursts through the smoke and enters the enemy formation, the tall and strong camels fly with flesh and blood, and the Lele vehicles that provide protection are shattered.
These costs saved most of the Hete soldiers from being hit by artillery shells, but there was still a shell that passed through the gap between the Lele vehicle and the large livestock. It happened that the leader of the Mongolian column on the move was a Hete snake armed to the teeth.
The word "jin" comes from the Chinese word "sheren", which is a person close to the prince. He wears heavy leather armor, and the big fur hat is removed to the back of his neck, revealing a Hacker-style visored head with a gun high on his head.
Xiang was particularly dazzling in the sun. Faced with the threat of a seven-pound iron ball, the bow and horse martial arts he had honed on the grassland since childhood were of no use, and the armor made of steel fur was useless. The steel exploded into a burst of red and white blood mist, and the soldiers behind the column
There was only time to scream uncontrollably, and the shell that had not lost its power had already landed. It immediately jumped up, rolled and jumped, interrupted the three legs belonging to two people, and continued to move forward, cutting a bloody path in the column, and finally ended up at Doji Taiji.
The sand dunes in front of them were filled with sand and fog, and the nobles who were fascinated by Taiji rushed to run. At the end of Taiji's side, Taiji asked for help. People saw that he was unscathed except that his eyes were squinted by the sand, so they all volunteered to ask for help.
Just like when fighting with the Chinese expedition team, take advantage of the situation and charge forward to seize the enemy's artillery. Some suggested that Taiji retreat beyond the range of the artillery. Most people wanted Doji Taiji to propose to the national adviser Khan that the army retreat two miles away.
The besieged enemies were all talking in a confused and chaotic manner for a while, which was very annoying. Doji Taiji did not listen to any of these suggestions. He just grabbed the seven-pound iron bullet that rolled down at his feet. In fact, he calculated very clearly.
Artillery bombardment, more than a hundred artillery shells fell into the formation, causing very few casualties. All together, less than twenty people were killed. However, the casualties of less than twenty people reduced the morale of the army to the extreme. The purpose of fighting is not to kill.
, but victory; killing, shocking, confusing, frightening and even the battle itself are just means to achieve this goal. For Doji Taiji, this large-caliber, long-range artillery has brought him unprecedented
In the eyes of the nobles who give orders, war has always been a matter of low risk and high returns. As a national advisor, Duoji Taiji attaches great importance to the son who is second only to the eldest son. It is such a noble man that he has the best armor in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
He has the sharpest weapons, hundreds of war horses of his own, a guard of hundreds of good warriors who are armed to the teeth, and thousands of nomadic soldiers who are well-trained and obedient to orders. As long as he doesn't show off and lead the army into the battle
, countless heroes are willing to fight and die for him. What kind of battle can kill him?
To put it bluntly, before the blood of these thousands of soldiers dries up, he can do whatever he wants and fight to the last moment. But this iron bullet rolling down at his feet shatters this common sense of war. The power of a weapon lies in its range. Artillery
With this kind of power, it is not like an ordinary man's anger that can kill five steps, nor is it different from a lead bullet weighing a few dollars, which can pierce a man's hole in a horse within thirty steps; this big iron bullet weighing seven kilograms means that within two miles
Everyone is equal, and if you take a hit, you will either die or be disabled. Duoji Taiji's hand holding the iron ball trembled slightly and he was not the only one who was afraid. To the north of the car camp, the nobles leading the army had taken the opportunity to rush to the car camp, but they were beaten by different people.
The strategy of blocking the ditch and dealing with the ditch by the special generals was to drive a small number of livestock to fill it. This was the fastest and most effective filling method when there were no pockets and branches. Compared with Liu Chengzong's formation, which contained groups of war horses and mules, the cost was not high, but they
They had just driven the livestock to fill a few gaps, and before the cavalry could file in, hundreds of rifles were fired in front of the formation. The lead pellets and large bullets in the smoke formed a dense barrage, penetrating everything within the range.
The enemy troops in the North Camp immediately retreated along the same route, while the Dongying army simply did not make any attempts and directly withdrew eastward under the orders of the National Advisor Khan. The Dongying army retreated out of the artillery range. It was like an order, and the people in the South Camp and Prince Te were excited.
, everyone urged Duoji Taiji to retreat, but Duoji Taiji did not dare... Because the glaring Ma Ke and Huang Shengxiao came over with a barrage of artillery fire, opening a window in Ma Ke's mind, leaving the imaginary map of the battlefield. The battlefield no longer only contains
He and the enemy in front of him, as well as the support of friendly forces and enemies behind him. In this imaginary picture, Ma Ke found that he had more than 500 cavalry. Not only did he have the important mission of communicating with the south, but he could also fight in a short period of time.
Playing a more vital role - such as preventing the enemy who is ten times his size from withdrawing from the range of artillery fire. His more than 500 cavalry are like a stick, moving on the east side of Doji Taiji's circular formation, slowly
Slowly move south through the gap between the east and south battalions, and move to the southeast of the circular formation. Duoji Taiji did not dare to break camp. He was afraid that the troops would be attacked by Mako when they moved away from defense, so they could only move the Lele vehicles and accompanying livestock to the north for cover.
Liu Chengzong, who was standing on the sandbags in the military camp amid the shells, saw the movements of the Ma Ke Department, and then saw that the Duoji Taiji camp was motionless. He immediately saw the fighter planes and immediately ordered: "Load the lion cannon, move eight units each to the north and east, and the remaining
Place the sixteenth gate in the southeast corner, "Give me the heavy artillery to continue firing, and let Huang Shengxiao lead a hundred gun trucks to prepare to go out and fight for a while."
At this time, the three-sided siege formation, the east and north sides, had gradually withdrawn from the artillery firing range. Only the southern round formation, due to the threat of Marco on the side, Doji Taiji did not dare to break camp and retreat, and their siege formation was out of touch.
Liu Chengzong stood on the sandbag and looked at Ma Ke with a telescope in one hand. He clenched his fist with the other hand and whispered: "Ma Ke listens to the order, go behind him, go behind him..."
Ma Ke seemed to have heard the order from King Biang:, and indeed he led his troops to circle southward along the east side of the Duoji Taiji Ring Formation, moved close to the south, and did not leave. He looked at the formation with a tiger's eye. This move made Liu Chengzong very angry.
Out of excitement, he jumped down from Sandbag Mountain, handed the telescope to the guard, and shouted: "Yang!"
The sudden shout made Yang startled, and Liu Chengzong ordered in a hurry: "Sixteen lion cannons are given to you. Go out to the ditch in front of the southeast corner. The enemy troops in the east camp will advance westward. Sanzi will give him 200 steps on the flank;
The enemy troops went to the southwest to support him, and they also used Sanzi to flank him for 200 steps. Liu Chengzong showed a smile on his face, but his eyes were fierce: "Let Huang Shengxiao lead the gun truck, go south to the west, circle half the camp and beat him.
