Chapter 857: One-sided slaughter
Tens of thousands of the original famous troops came with great momentum, and the weapons they carried in their hands were varied.
Some use axes, some use spears that are longer than short spears, and some even hold weapons made of stone.
Hong Chengchou saw that the coke was broken, as the saying goes, people move to live, trees move to die, this is really different in a different place, and finally met some weak chickens!
Think about it, when I was in the Ming Dynasty, I fought against the powerful Eight Banners Army in Liaodong;
Later, after the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty became extremely strong again, in short, he was beaten everywhere!
It's different now, the other party is basically a Stone Age guy, and his luck has finally exploded!
Hong Chengchou shouted loudly on the Luan driver: "Go to war, my warriors of Dadong!" Charge at these enemies who refuse to be slaves and make them feel the power of the Empire! ”
At the same time, the Chinese army gave the signal to attack.
For a while, the trumpets and cannons rang out in unison, and the heavily armed Dongguo troops shouted and slaughtered from the formation.
They formed a classic platoon gun formation in front of the formation, like the Ming army, and there were some tiger squat cannons in the formation that served as a supplement to the firepower.
"The whole army is ready!"
One by one, the muskets were raised, and thousands of Eastern Army musketeers were aimed at the indigenous army opposite.
In the eyes of the aboriginal chiefs, there is basically no art of war at all, they feel that only strong strength is the magic weapon to kill the enemy, and this powerful power is reflected in the number of the army!
The chiefs didn't know much about their firearms, let alone what they would face next.
Without hesitation, he raised the axe in his hand and shouted in Indian: "Kill!" ”
Tens of thousands of allied troops swarmed up under the leadership of the Great Chief of the Wind River Tribe, and their momentum was very high.
The Komanche people, in particular, were the most excited, with a bloodthirsty sparkle in their eyes, and they seemed to be in love with those magical four-hoofed animals on the other side, those iron cloaks on the enemy's body!
The number of aborigines is very large, most of them 40,000 or 50,000, but the weapons that can be used are very backward, which is backward compared to the era of cold weapons.
The main weapons of their soldiers were sticks, stone axes, javelins, spears, bows and arrows, and slingshots (small stones that catapult small stones), while the Komanche, who were most focused on the development of weapons, had slightly better weapons, spears and bows.
Before the Eastern colonists set foot on this land, the Comanche was a powerful tribe that dominated the western part of North and South America, and they often fought in the east and west, destroying many of the surrounding tribes and expanding their territory.
The Komanche may have more than enough weapons against other small tribes, but when faced with the advanced eastern world and the Han army banner that had fought for more than ten years, their military superiority was gone.
Whether in terms of weapons and equipment, or in tactics, as well as in army discipline, there is more than one version of the difference.
Almost all of the soldiers of the Great Eastern Kingdom were equipped with flintlock pistols, which were better and more powerful than the arquebuses used by the Spanish during their invasion of the Canadian Empire.
"Fire!"
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”
The Eastern Army's musket array emitted layers of light, and countless marbles screamed into the pile of natives.
The first round of gunfire converged as if a giant cannon was shelling, and the loud roar produced startled the aboriginal coalition forces on the opposite side.
They didn't think much of it, because time did not allow, and countless buckshots shot through the defenseless aboriginal army without hindrance.
With the roar of muskets, the Indian army in the front row was knocked to the ground like chopping vegetables, rolling on the ground and screaming loudly, even among some of the Indians with wooden shields in their hands.
"Fire!"
Thousands of muskets fired a second round of guns, the crackling sound continued, and the screams of the coalition troops were heard again.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
The musket array of the Eastern Army, the continuous gunfire is lined up one after another, and the advantages of the fixed paper barrel ammunition learned from the Ming Army make the loading and firing speed of the Eastern Army's musketeers extremely fast.
Where have the aboriginal coalition army seen this kind of battle, several big chiefs were stunned for a long time, and after they reacted, they saw that the front formation that had just rushed out had become a mess.
The ground was littered with rolling and screaming warriors, some killed on the spot, others not dead, just screaming loudly on the ground in a blur of flesh and blood.
The big chiefs opened their mouths wide enough to fit a melon.
They couldn't have imagined that the weapons of these guys on the other side were so powerful, and they were used on a particularly large scale, and their own people and horses were knocked over in an eye before they could touch each other!
After all, the big chiefs are all big shots, and their mental state is all first-class good, and those ordinary aboriginal soldiers are not so strong.
Looking at the terrible scene in front of them, the faces of the aborigines changed from daze to horror, and suddenly they screamed hoarsely, turned around and ran back.
They can't afford to throw away their armor, because they don't have armor at all!
Most of their weapons were gone, and they just wanted to run faster.
Watching the natives collapse and flee in the front, Hong Chengchou smiled, the future Dadong Kingdom, in this mysterious land, will inevitably be invincible!
After a few volleys, Hong Chengchou ordered the cavalry to go out to crush the enemy's central army and completely defeat the indigenous coalition army!
The cavalry army of the Eastern Army was divided into two parts, the left wing was led by Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and the right wing was led by Li Shutai, the king of Dingbei.
Without too much tactical arrangement, in the sound of drums, the cavalry of the Eastern Army directly fought out from both flanks and surrounded the aboriginal army.
The aboriginal soldiers, though outnumbered, immediately dropped their weapons and fled when they saw an unknown animal rushing towards them.
The Indians of North America did not know about domesticated horses at all, and in their eyes, the cavalry of the Eastern Army who wore armor on their chests and galloped on war horses were simply gods!
The cavalry of the Eastern Army galloped across the battlefield, trampling the poor Indians to death, cutting the Indians in half with their long sabers.
Although the aborigines' sticks and other weapons could also injure the people or horses of the Eastern Army, they could not kill them directly.
Under the impact of the cavalry, the aboriginal coalition army fell into chaos, many people were hit by the war horse and broke their bones, fell to the ground with wailing, and then were trampled into meat sauce by the cavalry army behind them.
Others trampled on each other in the chaos, and many suffocated to death.
In the face of these weak enemies, the cavalry of the Eastern Army only needed one charge to suffice!
Looking at the natives who were powerless to fight back in front of him, Hong Chengchou actually had a feeling of sympathy.
Once upon a time, the Han army flag was also unbearable in front of the Ming army.
Once upon a time, they were also suppressed by others, and this feeling is really empathetic!
But Hong Chengchou didn't have the slightest mercy, he ordered to continue to rush and kill!
Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, held a war knife in his hand, and under the escort of hundreds of personal guards and iron cavalry, he directly rushed into the Chinese army of the aboriginal coalition army, where the big chiefs were located.
He wanted to personally capture these big chiefs and leave the legend of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, on this land!
Wu Sangui rushed to the shoulder of the big chief of the Wind River tribe, and slashed several tribal lords who were carrying the shoulder with his sword, but immediately a few more people ran over to carry the shoulder and prepared to run away.
Seeing that the enemy was coming, these great chiefs hurriedly ordered their men to carry them and run away while beckoning their men to stop them.
The aboriginal soldiers launched a fierce attack on Wu Sangui's cavalry, but most of them were blocked by the armor and iron helmets on the opponent's body.
On the contrary, the aboriginal soldiers who only wore cloth clothes could not resist the spears and swords in the hands of the soldiers of the Eastern Army, and those who were killed should not be wanted.
In front of the sabers of the cavalry, their hidden "armor" and obsidian knives were not worth mentioning at all!
Under the charge of several cavalrymen, the shoulders of the Great Chief of the Wind River Tribe were knocked over, and the Great Chief, who had rolled around on the ground a few times, was captured alive.
Without the command of the Great Chief, tens of thousands of the original famous coalition troops howled and ran away, for fear that they would be overtaken by the terrifying four-hoofed monster behind them if they were one step too late.
The collision between different civilizations will inevitably crush the backward side.
With only 5,000 troops and horses, they easily defeated the enemy dozens of times the number of people, and the valley where the battle was fought was full of the wails of the coalition army.
The easterners continued to chase the fleeing aboriginal coalition, with a cavalry unit chasing the fleeing chieftains.
In this battle, nearly 10,000 aboriginal coalition troops were killed by the cavalry of the Eastern Army, if it weren't for Hong Chengchou's order to withdraw his troops due to nightfall, I'm afraid that these 40,000 or 50,000 coalition troops would have been wiped out!
According to the information released by the Ming Dynasty later, in the battle of Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Eastern Army defeated the 55,000-strong aboriginal coalition army with 5,000 men and horses, killed as many as 13,000 aborigines, captured seven great chiefs, and dozens of lords, and the loss of the Eastern Army was only a few dozen.......
This battle was the first large-scale dispatch of troops by the Great Eastern Kingdom to set foot overseas, and the brilliant results established the supreme position of the Great Eastern Kingdom in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
In the future, even if only a few dozen cavalry are dispatched to fight in the east, some aboriginal soldiers will be frightened and flee.
Many tribes chose to take refuge in the Great Eastern Kingdom and became the vanguard of their expansion of territory.
Since then, the Great Eastern Kingdom has expanded its power for thousands of miles at a rapid pace, all the way to the colonies of European colonists, and has broken out many disputes and wars with foreign powers until the Ming army sets foot on this land......
