Chapter 149: Defeat (Fourth Update)

In addition to the red-coated cannons, Wang Zezhi also brought thirty furlong cannons.

Wang Zezhi assigned two gunners to each Furlong cannon, one of whom was strong enough to unload and load, and the other was responsible for aiming and firing the cannon.

There was also a battalion commander with swords and shields guarding behind them.

Hearing the command, the gunner aimed and fired the gun.

After firing a shot, the unloaders of the thirty guns stabbed iron rods into the handles of the sub-guns and unloaded the sub-guns from the mother.

The bronze cannon of the Furlong machine is composed of a mother gun and a sub-gun, and each gun is equipped with five or six guns, which are preloaded with ammunition, and only need to replace the guns, and the firing speed is quite fast.

After several bomb unloaders unloaded the sub-gun, they picked up a sub-gun placed next to it, installed it in the thick and elongated hole at the back of the mother, and hit it with a concave iron rod to align the two mouths of the child and the mother.

The gunner of each cannon immediately took out a long red-hot iron hook and lit it at the fire door.

"Boom~"

At this time, the results of another round of firing of thirty Furlong bronze cannons came out.

The Tartar cavalry was trapped by barbed wire trenches, and with their fearless charge, they managed to use thousands of lives and horse lives to bulldoze three lines of defense.

At this moment, the rounds of fire from Furlong's cannons arrived, and more than thirty iron balls hit the cavalry who rushed to the defensive line.

Some of the cavalrymen knew how powerful the barbed wire was, dismounted and began to chop the barbed wire.

These wires are made of four or five wires mixed and twisted together, where can be easily cut with a few knives.

Another round of attack from the Fran cannon arrived, and thirty iron balls hit the Tartars and their horses, directly smashing the flesh and blood of the men and horses.

Some of the cavalry were not shot, but they were crushed under them by the fallen horses.

For a moment, under the fourth line of defense, there were wails and screams.

In the Tartars who arrived later, a hundred households came, and he scolded and organized a group of dead soldiers to rush over from the gap in the position.

Seeing this, the other Tartar cavalry gave up chopping the barbed wire fence and rushed over.

The road could only accommodate a maximum of two horsemen, and the advantage of cavalry charging was lost.

Wang Zezhi ordered the artillery to stop the attack and transferred the Lu Mi gun from the fire battalion.

With the order of the king, the battlements on the city and the battlements on the left and right sides of the city gate were already densely covered with firecrackers, who were holding firearms and only aimed at the Tartar cavalry who were charging forward.

Lu Mi's shooting is much higher than that of a bow and arrow, and Wang Zezhi doesn't need to order the sword and shield hand to step forward to protect it, just let the fire gun hand shoot in turn.

Wang Zezhi specially put the Tartar cavalry fifty paces in, and then ordered to kill the cavalry on the horse.

Wang Zezhi did not allow them to shoot war horses, first, he needed war horses, especially the high-grade war horses of the Tartars, and second, he wanted to test them on the battlefield.

After all, I usually do so many live-fire exercises.

It's also time to see the results.

On the city wall opposite the road, on the battlements on both sides of the road, the first batch of sergeants, the fire guns rang out in unison, and a large amount of fire and smoke filled the city wall.

The Tartar cavalry that had rushed through half of the position fell one after another, and only the war horses under their crotches still rushed towards the city gate.

Wang Zezhi had a thousand-strong team of Lumi guns, and at this moment, the first batch of sergeants finished shooting and retreated to reload.

The second group went to the battlements and continued to fire.

These firecrackers are usually masters of the eight rings and above when they train, and at this moment they all aim at the tartars on their horses.

All of a sudden, there was a terrible scream from the passage in the middle of the position.

The second batch finished shooting, and the third continued. I love to read Chinese

As smoke rose from the battlements, a tartar fell from the middle of the passage again.

After three rounds of volleys, the passage in the middle of the position was already a little congested, and the Tartars attacked several times, but they didn't even have a chance to release their arrows, and they all had the idea of retreating.

The Tartars had not yet retreated, and the fourth salvo arrived.

The Gunner didn't shoot yet, but set up the Rummy Gun on the battlement, and the Tartar gave up the charge with a scream, turned his horse's head and shouted in a chaotic manner.

The Tartars in front turned their horses' heads and stopped, while the Tartars in the back continued to charge, and the sergeants were already in disarray before they could shoot the Tartars.

However, the sergeants did not let the Tartars go because of this, for them it was all military merit.

The fourth round of attacks arrived.

As smoke rose from the walls, the Tartars collapsed.

The first to retreat were the Tartars who rushed under the fourth line of defense, and the Tartars in the middle of the road were blocked, and they could not rush for a while, so they jumped off their horses and began to run.

Seeing this, Wang Zezhi ordered the Fran cannon and the red-coated cannon to pursue the victory.

The gunners, who had already loaded their ammunition, couldn't wait, and with Wang Zeyi's order, the gunners lit the cannons.

"Boom~"

The blow of the artillery was like a talisman, and the Tartars completely lost the courage to fight.

They heard the sound of artillery, and they all fled in hysterical howls.

Except for the cavalry that stayed behind to guard Lin Dan Khan, the Tartar cavalry who attacked the fourth line of defense all fled.

Instead of fleeing back to Lin Dan Khan's tent, they scattered and fled.

That's because Lin Dan Khan's punishment for deserters is particularly severe, and those who are not allowed to retreat are considered deserters and face joint punishment.

If one of the 10 escapes and the others do not stop it on the spot, the whole team will be executed, and if all the 10 team escapes, all the 100 team to which the 10 team belongs will be executed.

These Tartar cavalry were afraid and did not dare to return to the tent of Lin Dan Khan, so they could only take advantage of the chaos and scatter in all directions.

Lin Dan Khan was furious and hurriedly ordered the cavalry under his tent to shoot and force back the fleeing cavalry.

This shot was like stabbing a hornet's nest, these Tartar cavalry, unable to escape, actually bent their bows and arrows and began to attack Lin Dan Khan's Chinese army tent.

Lin Dan Khan's Chinese army tent is all elite, where is he afraid of the impact of these deserters.

They reacted very quickly, and immediately organized shield guards to defend themselves, and the shields blocked the attack of bows and arrows, and then they began to counterattack in formation.

The rain of arrows came in patches, and these scattered Tartar cavalry were no match for them at all.

In an instant, countless casualties were imposed.

Seeing that they could not do anything, the deserters fled in the direction of Liangcheng and Yulin respectively.

However, they did not defect to these two places, but quickly fled before Lin Dan Khan's army could react, so as not to chase these people out.

Lin Dan Khan's Chinese army was all elite, and each of them was equipped with three or four horses for a long-distance attack.

The Tartar horses are short and sturdy, with thick skin and thick hair, and are extremely tolerant, and can tolerate the bitter cold of minus 40 degrees.

However, Lin Dan Khan's tactics such as marching, detouring, interspersing, and deception were extremely demanding on war horses, and no matter how endurance the war horses were, they could not bear it, so Lin Dan Khan's elite Chinese army, each cavalry usually had four or five spare horses.

Their saddles were also different from those of ordinary cavalrymen, as their saddles were almost flat on horseback, allowing cavalry to move freely, especially when retreating, with Parthian return shots at the enemy.

Most importantly, their armor was also different from the leather armor of ordinary cavalrymen, but iron plate armor.

If they react, these deserters will be caught and will shed their skin if they don't die.

Therefore, when these deserters scattered and fled, they symbolically shot two arrows, clamped their horses, and waved their whips vigorously, desperately fleeing.
