This time, it was ten times more powerful than the explosion of the explosive bomb!
The huge sound waves impact the eardrums, making people lose their hearing instantly.
Next, the fire shot into the sky. Although Boyan couldn't hear the sound, he could clearly feel the earth shaking.
The charge formation composed of five thousand cavalry collapsed instantly. For a time, the battlefield was filled with smoke, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the beautiful grassland turned into a hell on earth.
Perhaps because Boyan had prayed for the protection of the Immortal Heaven before going into battle, his companions around him helped him block the deadly shrapnel and shock waves, and he was able to escape.
The follow-up troops didn't know what happened. They only saw an explosion of fire, and then the troops in front disappeared.
Yes, disappeared into thin air!
Driven by the inertia of the rapid charge, the troops could not stop at all and continued to move forward. Some people could not avoid it and bumped into it before their eyes. Suddenly another group of people were turned upside down.
Everything happened so fast. In just the blink of an eye, the scene changed drastically.
However, Boyan had no time to feel the fear. He had already crossed the explosion zone and rushed in front of the Ming army.
However, what greeted him were rows of black gun muzzles.
Boyan didn't have time to think at this time, so he pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse under him neighed, and he stood up.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
White smoke emitted from the muzzle of the flintlock gun, and rows of lead bullets were shot out. The Ora cavalry in the front row suddenly fell on their backs.
Boyan's horse was punched with seven or eight holes, like a hornet's nest. It fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times and then completely lost its breath.
The first batch of new firearms developed by Wang Gong Factory were not equipped to the Shenji Battalion, but to the Three Thousand Battalion.
Before the expedition, Zhu Qizhen reorganized three major battalions.
The three thousand battalion is still a cavalry unit, all equipped with flintlock muskets and twenty artillery pieces.
The Shenji Battalion was reorganized into an artillery battalion and became a single heavy firepower unit.
The fifth military camp is still dominated by infantry, with 20% of the personnel equipped with flintlocks and a small number of artillery.
In a word, the era of cold weapons has become a thing of the past, and the future will be dominated by firearms.
After Li Zhen arrived at Yumuchuan, she immediately buried more than a dozen landmines outside the camp in advance to prevent a sneak attack by the Walas.
This thing is very powerful, but the technical difficulties of the trigger device have not been broken through.
Therefore, the most effective way is to cooperate with artillery, bombard the minefield with artillery shells, and detonate the mines.
How did the Oara people know that this thing was still buried under the grass? After the first wave of bombardment, they suffered heavy losses.
However, the nightmare has just begun.
The reloading speed of flintlock muskets is completely different from that of the original muskets. The Ming army still used the three-stage attack tactic, firing alternately. With the intensive bursts of gunfire, the Ora cavalry fell off their horses one after another. p>
Boyan finally realized the seriousness of the matter, got up from the ground, and limped back to escape.
More than half of the five thousand cavalry were killed or wounded, and the rest had completely collapsed. Those on the periphery of the team had fled in all directions, while more people were bumping into each other like headless chickens.
Li Zhen stood on a high platform, silently watching the changes on the battlefield, and immediately gave the order.
"Cavalry attacks!"
The messenger blew the horn, the sound was high and sharp, and then, the sound of killing filled the sky, and all the cavalry battalions rushed out to kill the enemy.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
This was the first time the Three Thousand Battalion had faced off against the Walas since they came out of the Great Wall. I was a little nervous at first. After all, they had adopted new tactics. However, seeing the opponent's cavalry collapse directly under the attack of artillery and muskets, the worries in my heart disappeared immediately.
The next step is to beat up the drowned dog.
The momentum of the Ming army reached its peak, but on the contrary, the confidence of the Wala people had been completely shattered.
The five thousand cavalrymen were all killed or injured, and only a few were lucky enough to escape the pursuit and fled in all directions.
In the chaos of the army, Boyan found a fleeing war horse, got on the horse's back, and ran desperately northward.
What kind of Ming army is this? They are a group of devils!
Who has ever seen such powerful explosives and long-barreled firecrackers that don’t need to be set off?
This is an evil weapon that even Changshengtian cannot fight against!
The morale of the Ming army was so high that they chased them for more than thirty miles. Seeing that it was getting late, they reluctantly returned to the camp.
Li Zhen was overjoyed. In just one confrontation, the elite cavalry that the Oara people were proud of was completely destroyed.
The power displayed by the new firearms far exceeds expectations and is simply incredible.
When the emperor ordered the Three Thousand Battalions to be equipped with firearms, Li Zhen's first reaction was confusion and confusion.
Who has seen cavalry troops charging with muskets?
However, today's battle made him completely convinced.
The emperor is right, melee combat has become a thing of the past, and the future will be an era when firearms are king.
…………
Under Ye Xian's call, the four major Wala tribes, namely the Junggar tribe, the Heshuote tribe, the Dulbert tribe, and the Torgut tribe, all arrived at the Khuliltai Conference on time.
Tatar sweated profusely and thought about it for a long time, and finally came to attend the meeting as scheduled.
Seeing that the situation is strong, if I don't go and let him take advantage of it, it will be difficult to do it.
Although the Tatar tribe has always claimed to be a golden family, bloodline does not mean everything on the grassland. In the final analysis, whoever has more soldiers has the right to speak.
I am very satisfied with the arrival of Tuotuo Buhua.
After all, he is the nominal Great Khan, representing Mongolian orthodoxy.
The most important thing in this conference is to discuss joining forces to fight against the Ming army. As for the battle for the throne, it can be left after the war.
After destroying the Ming Dynasty, occupying most of the capital, and reviving the Yuan Empire, the next Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty must be himself.
Totobuhua looked around and asked, "Why don't we see the Buryat tribe?"
Ye first replied: "The Buryat tribe lives in the North Sea, sparsely populated, and also faces attacks by the Rakshasa people. It has not participated in the war in the Central Plains for many years."
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua nodded and asked: "Ye Xian Grand Master, how many soldiers and horses do you have here?"
In August last year, the four armies on the grassland went south, and Tuotuo Buhua led his troops to attack Liaodong. Taking advantage of the Ming army's main focus on the Datong area of Xuanfu, they looted and looted near Jinzhou and gained a lot.
On the other hand, Wala personally led the army to almost completely annihilate the main force of the Ming army. Unfortunately, the Ming army came back from a desperate situation. Instead of winning, they suffered heavy losses.
As a result, the gap between Oara and Tatar began to narrow.
Tuotuo Buhua asked this question just to test Ye Xian's truth.
Unexpectedly, he said calmly: "Two hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
Tuotuo Buhua took a breath of cold air, no wonder he was so arrogant in the first place, and there were so many people.
He also smiled proudly and said: "This time we send troops, we will definitely capture most of the capital and avenge our previous shame!"
