Chapter 93: Firecrackers and Crossbows: The Lost Dog
Update time:2012-11-08
From Jinzhou to the Daling River, the terrain is flat, separated only by the Xiaoling River and a long mountain across the right bank of the Xiaoling River.
The plain terrain is conducive to cavalry charge. If the Ming army does not rely on strong strongholds, it will be difficult to resist the Jin army's offensive.
Zhang Chun was familiar with military affairs and was not a person who talked about military affairs on paper. He inspected the terrain when he arrived in Jinzhou. After repeated consideration, he finally decided to use the tactic of forming a chariot formation to compete with the Jin army.
Zhang Chun believed that a large formation of 2,300 chariots was enough to serve as ten mobile strongholds. If the army gathered in the formation and controlled the enemy with firearms, the Jin army would not be able to get close.[
Zhang Chun's confidence did not arise out of thin air. In fact, the plain terrain was beneficial to the Jin army, but it was also beneficial to the Ming army's tanks. What's more, Zhang Chun also had a trump card. He deployed the 20,000 soldiers newly produced by the Ministry of Industry for the Ming army.
Three thousand fire blunderbuss and 12,000 repeating crossbows. In addition, he even used up all the large blunderbuss equipped in the Beijing camp and brought a full 800 large blunderbuss to the outside of the pass. If it weren't for
The Hongyi cannons were difficult to transport, and he even planned to bring out all the Hongyi cannons from Jinzhou City.
With such intensive firepower and the cover of more than 2,000 tanks, Zhang Chun firmly believed that victory must belong to him and to the Ming Dynasty!
When the sound of gunfire sounded from the front, Zhang Chun suddenly sat down with relief. For him, his mission was over, and the rest depended on the performance of the soldiers.
…………
"Open the gun!"
"put!"
The Ming army, which did not send a forward at all, hid behind the chariot and rushed straight towards the Jin army. While the Jin army was still guessing where the Ming army would attack first, the Ming army's blunderbuss and repeating crossbows were fired at the officer's order.
Suddenly, a dense sound of firecrackers sounded in the sky above Jiming Post, and the pungent smell of medicine filled the entire battlefield. The thunderous crackle of the gunfire could be heard for several miles away, causing birds to fly all over the sky.
Xianghongqi didn't expect that the Ming army would attack like this, and all at once, so he couldn't help but get confused. Although the Ming army's firearms and crossbows didn't hurt many people, tens of thousands of Ming troops suddenly came up in front of them, and they didn't react.
A tactical fight, a life-threatening attack from the very beginning. The red flag with only one-eighth of the opponent's strength was obviously unable to withstand it.
Seeing that the Ming army was about to break into the defense line, Azig immediately made a decisive decision and personally led his red-armored and tooth-laden soldiers to pierce the Ming army like sharp arrows.
Seeing the flag master taking the lead and leading the Baoyala soldiers to rush towards the Ming army, the Manmeng Niulu people also came to their senses and quickly gathered together to rush towards the Ming army with the flag master's banner.
Azig obviously wanted to avenge the defeat more than ten days ago. He sighed in his heart and stared at the junction of the two Ming army's chariot battles. He thought about rushing in from there, but before he could get close, he heard
The Ming army generals on the opposite side started shouting, and soon, several muskets were fired in the Ming army formation, and the crossbow arrows were fired like a rain of arrows.
Before he could react, he was knocked to the ground and turned upside down.
"Rush, keep rushing!"
There was no one who could not die when charging into the formation. Azig did not care about the dozens of casualties. He raised his arms and roared at his soldiers to rush into the Ming army's formation at all costs.
During the charge, two crossbow arrows hit Azig, but were deflected by the layers of iron armor on his body and did not harm Azig at all.
The Ming army on the opposite side didn't know whether they were afraid of the iron hoofs of the Eight Banners or were confused. Those soldiers who were lying behind the chariots and firing guns suddenly turned around and ran back.
Seeing this, Jin Bing couldn't help cheering, and Azig also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Ming Manzi still has the same virtue as expected. After one round of firing, he no longer knows where his parents are.
While running, he saw Gushan'e Zhentunbulu leading a few Niulu coming from the left. Azig hurriedly shouted to the Goshiha who were following closely: "Hang the flag, let Tunbulu
Tear the hole wider!"
"twitter!"
After hearing the order, the two Goshha skillfully took out the big flags from behind and waved them back and forth on their horses. Tunbulu saw them and quickly gathered their troops and rushed towards Azig. In this way, the Jin army was able to defeat them.
There are thousands of people, but the Ming army's formation is too large and wide, so the distance is too spread out. Viewed from above, it is thousands of Jin army cavalry charging towards a single point of the Ming army.[
The situation is obviously not favorable for the Ming army.
There were still dozens of steps away from the Ming army's formation. When almost all the Jin soldiers thought that they were about to break into the Ming army's formation, those Ming soldiers who had retreated suddenly approached again carrying large poles and muskets more than six feet long.
Chariot.
Put the big musket on the chariot and start shooting at the Jin army.
"boom!"
The charge of that big stick gun is five to six times that of ordinary bird guns. When fired, not only is the sound loud, but the power is also astonishing.
In just a short moment, hundreds of large muskets were fired at once, and the charging Jin army fell to the ground like wheat.
If Goshiha had not protected the Lord in time, even Azig would not have been spared.
After a round of big cannons, thousands of Ming troops rushed towards the chariot like a tide, lying there and firing together. The Ming troops in the rear also fired their repeating crossbows at the front of the formation.
Under the repeated blows of blunderbuss, crossbow arrows, and big pole blunderbuss, the number of Jin soldiers who fell in front of the formation was no less than a thousand.
Azig's face changed suddenly, knowing that he had underestimated the enemy again. Looking at his subordinates who suffered heavy casualties, he was shocked: This chariot formation is so powerful! Retreat, you must retreat quickly, otherwise all your belongings will be ruined here!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
No longer caring about dignity and appearance, Azig pulled the horse's head, roared and retreated, and took the lead in running to the rear. He was completely different from the arrogant and indifferent appearance of the Ming army just now.
When the generals with the red flag saw that the flag owner had run away, they hurriedly followed suit, not even caring about their injured companions.
When the Ming army won the first battle, they did not send out cavalry to pursue them, but continued to advance slowly and methodically.
The corpses of the Jin soldiers lying in front of the formation were quickly piled up, forming a pile of more than a dozen people. No one of the passing Ming soldiers stopped to cut off their heads, but moved forward silently amidst the roars of the officers.
With.
"Okay, fight fast!"
In the telescope, Zhang Chun laughed loudly. The victory in the first battle strengthened his idea. With this formation of chariots, he would definitely be able to break the siege of Dalinghe City.
…………
"General, the fight is about to begin, the fight is about to begin!"
Hearing the sound of the gun, Cao Bianjiao screamed excitedly, but Shi Dayong was very nervous. However, the recruits behind him were not as nervous as him, a general. Everyone headed north eagerly, and the people behind kept pushing forward.
, to inquire about the battle situation of the army from those at the front.
Three miles away and with no high ground to stand on, Shi Dayong couldn't see how the fighting was going ahead. He was extremely nervous, fearing that the army would be defeated in just one round and he wouldn't even have a chance to step forward to save it. Fortunately,
, after waiting for a while, I saw that the formation of the army was still the same as before, there was no half-dispersion, no retreat, and it continued to move forward.
……………[
Azig withdrew seven or eight miles like a bereaved dog in one breath. Not only did he abandon the Jimingyi defense line, he also gave up the defense of Xiaoling River and retreated directly to Tong Yangxing's Han Army Flag Firearms Camp.
As soon as he crossed the river, he hurriedly fell off his horse. Because the armor on his body was too heavy, he accidentally fell down. He got up from the ground, not caring about the mess he was covered in dirt, and hurriedly shouted: "My brother-in-law, my brother-in-law."
!Hurry and prepare the red cannons. When the Ming army comes into range, fire immediately. We can’t let them charge forward any more!"
