Chapter 200: Hunting the Jurchen 20
"No!"
This sudden artillery bombardment made Nuer Ha Chi stunned, he never thought that the red-coated cannon with such a range and power could be carried with the army, which completely subverted his previous perception of the Ming artillery.
Nuer Hachi's heart was dripping blood, but at this moment, the arrow was on the string, and he had to send it, the charge had been launched, and he couldn't stop anymore. After such an acceleration, the speed of the horses has been fully exerted, and if it is suddenly stopped, the formation will definitely be disrupted, and it will inevitably fall into the same rush as before.
Whining!
The low horn sounded, this is the order for the whole army to attack in the Jurchen Eight Banners, and as soon as this order is issued, it will not retain any remaining strength, and all of it will be pressed. Nuer Hachi had no choice but to put his chips up and gamble.
"As long as you can get me close, as long as you can get me close." Nuerha's eyes were red, and he shouted frantically, and getting close to the Yulin Army became his only goal.
At this time, with the long-distance running, the Jurchens seemed to have learned to be more shrewd, and they followed their own banner owners and Niu Lu, densely formed a formation, separated from each other, so as to minimize the harm of shelling, after all, it was still a solid bullet at this time, and it was necessary to leave a large enough distance, and the cannonball lost its kinetic energy when it jumped.
Moreover, the dense crowd can reduce the space, and the shells can jump away and go somewhere else, which can also reduce some losses.
The Jurchens are worthy of being a famous fighting clan, and their fighting instincts are amazing when they have just been civilized, but they have figured out ways to reduce their losses in just a short contact.
Next, as the cavalry increased its speed and approached, although Xu Wen adjusted the elevation angle twice, the damage caused was far less than the first sudden artillery bombardment, and the effect was not very good in disrupting the formation, although some of the Jurchen cavalry that had been baptized by artillery fire had collapsed and scattered, but there were still three cavalry brigades in dense groups, and they rushed over frantically.
The Jurchens were not very good at riding, they were a fishing and hunting people, not nomads, and their riding skills were naturally not much better. However, after so many years of war, those who can't ride horses are dead, and the rest are skilled in horsemanship, even if they are dragoons, give him a horse, and they can charge.
At this time, the scene in front of him showed the exquisite riding skills of the Jurchens, and I saw that as the distance approached, the cavalry that had originally been divided into three groups of cavalry gradually approached, converged into one, and rushed towards the musketeers frantically.
It's just that behind the scenes of this crazy rush, there is also a slight abnormality, about 10,000 Jurchen cavalry are slowing down, gradually breaking away from the ranks, and after the speed slows down, they quickly turn their horses' heads and gallop towards the back, even the thousands of cavalry that were previously routed by artillery do not converge, and flee directly.
"Farewell, Amma!" Huang Taiji shouted silently in his heart, and left without looking back, he wanted to go over the mountains and mountains to Mongolia.
And the remaining more than 30,000 cavalry were densely packed, with a crazy momentum, desperately rushing forward.
Li Tao stood behind the battle line, sat on the horse, stared at the opposite side coldly, and kept calculating the distance between the two sides in his heart.
"A hundred steps... Ninety steps...... Eighty steps....... seventy steps....... sixty-five steps....... is now! As the distance got closer and closer, Li Tao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end they were like fire, and when the distance came to the critical point of sixty-five steps, his eyes were like a flame, and they burned with a breath.
"Fire!" Li Tao's terrible voice suddenly sounded, and anyone would be startled if he heard it suddenly, but the staff officer who had been waiting for the order next to him did not, he was concentrating, just waiting for the commander's order.
The range of the musket armor piercing was 60 paces, and the reason why the order was given at a distance of 65 paces was because it took time for the command to fire to be transmitted, and it took time for the soldiers to react, and when the order was passed on, it was almost 60 paces.
No, at the speed of the other party, it must have reached sixty steps.
Bang bang bang!
The musketeers on the first line of battle opened fire one after another, and because of the delay in the transmission of orders, some of them received orders to fire first, and some of them were later, and when they reached the second battle line, there were more of them, and the sound of gunfire almost turned into a loud bang, and the smoke of gunpowder quickly spread.
Soon, time turned, the first round of three shots was over, and then the second was the second one, this time after the discussion and shooting just now, the gunfire rang out neatly again.
After the loud banging sound of gunshots, the smoke of gunpowder became thicker again.
When the musket kept firing, Li Tao was staring at the loud noise, tilting his ears sideways, listening intently, and every time the battle line was exchanged, there was a very short period of silence, and it was in this short period of time that Li Tao relied on his hearing to carefully judge the state of the Jurchen cavalry.
"Ceasefire! Retreat! Suddenly, after the third round of three-stage strikes, Li Tao's mournful voice sounded again, and the loyal staff officer passed on the order with the same speed. After giving the order, Li Tao turned around and left.
All the musketeers immediately stopped what they were doing, and turned to retreat from the passage left by the phalanx, or from the gap between the three phalanxes, and from the flanks, to which they knew during training that this was a command for their lives, and to which they were particularly sensitive.
However, due to the delay in the transmission of orders, there are early and late retreats, and after noticing this, Li Taoyu, who was retreating, secretly said in his heart, "It is necessary to vigorously train the commander of the musketeers, and the disadvantages of one person in unified command are too great." ”
Thinking of this, Li Tao swept the company commanders and battalion commanders who shouted orders with some envy, with these knowledgeable and experienced commanders, Li Yuyu obviously didn't need to shout like he did just now, just stand in place elegantly.
While the musketeers retreated, the spearmen did not sit idle, both the soldiers who had just entered the battlefield and the officers who had experienced the battle, understood that their retreat meant that the cavalry was about to rush over.
"Reject the horse! Rejection! Officers at all levels shouted hoarsely. After hearing the order, the soldiers in the front row reflexively squatted down, the end of the spear on the ground, and the soldiers in the back put the spear on their shoulders, and pierced out of the gap in the back.
With an all-iron cuirass, a solid companion behind him, and a steel jungle with a cold light at the tip of a spear in front of him, even a soldier on the front line is full of security.
The next moment, a ride rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder!
