Chapter 529: The Fifth Battle of the Prairie War

The cavalrymen of the two yellow flags were terrified, and they had already regarded the place they were in as a hell of a nose, and they hated to put on their wings and fly out.

The idea was immediately shattered by reality, snap, snap, snap,.........

The third round of musket shooting of the Jingbian Army began, the first round of guns knocked down the Houjin soldiers, the second round of guns knocked down the Houjin soldiers, like crazy to get up from the ground and run back, they all thought that there was armor protection, arquebuses at this distance, should not have much lethality.

However, the reality is that Mini bullets, with huge kinetic energy, completely disregard the armor as cardboard, unceremoniously pierce the armor, burrow into the human body, and spin in a burst, stirring up the internal organs.

In the case of survival, people's potential is stimulated, and even if some Houjin soldiers are shot multiple times, they can desperately run to their own army formation with a single thought.

At this time, your own military formation is the safest harbor.

Slap, slap, slap,.................

The gunfire continued to ring, and the Houjin soldiers, who had lost their horses and fell to the ground, were killed and wounded.

When the first round of charging Houjin soldiers ran away, the smoke dissipated, and in the open space between the two armies, more than 700 Houjin soldiers were left, as well as nearly 600 horses.

Many of the Houjin soldiers who desperately fled back also died of vomiting black blood because of ruptured internal organs.

The Houjin army was in a great panic for a while, and the army's heart was in turmoil, and they didn't know what kind of new weapons the Jingbian army on the other side had come up with, and it could be so ferocious.

********

"That's not an arquebus, what the hell is that?"

Huang Taiji put down the clairvoyant mirror, and in a hurry, he almost roared and asked this question.

Houjin magnates, you look at me, I look at you, where can I know.

"Quick, let the Han people see, does anyone know, what is this?"

When the guards heard this, they quickly went to find the Han people who had surrendered, and asked them to identify what the Jingbian army was holding in their hands.

Unfortunately, these Han people surrendered early, and they had never seen flintlock pistols on the Western side, so no one could recognize them.

Huang Taiji was in a hurry, and he asked again, what were the casualties in the first round of the charge of the two yellow flags?

The answer suffocated him, 3,000 people charged, those who died on the spot, those who did not die, those who could not come back, and those who fled back but finally could not escape death, there were as many as 900 people, this battle could not be fought, the two yellow flags totaled 20,000 flags, and they were fought down like this, and they were all fought out in less than an hour.

Huang Taiji didn't understand until this time that Liu Renyu would be so confident when talking to him, it turned out that he not only had hot air balloons, but also this kind of fire gun that he had never seen before.

When the Houjin army was still panicking, an even greater panic hit them.

I saw that in the large array of the Chinese army of Liu Renyu's army on the opposite side, in addition to the hot air balloon that had been raised, four hot air balloons were also raised, and a total of five hot air balloons on the opposite side were lined up in a herringbone shape, floating up and down in this direction.

Honk...................

On the side of the Jingbian Army, the sound of the trumpets sounded again, and the musketeers marched forward to the beat of the drums, and the cannons still rumbled, constantly scattering projectiles.

Aircraft artillery, nothing more than that!

Liu Renyu suddenly remembered the Bali Bridge in later history, where Monk Greenqin led 38,000 soldiers against the British and French forces, desperate charges, Mongolian iron cavalry, and became a laughing stock.

The advent of rifles has turned what should have been a fierce battle into a boring one.

Zhang Tieniu, Yang Desheng, and He Yaozong, who replaced Ma Wenshan in charge of the sword and shield soldiers, all had gloomy faces, and they didn't seem to be overly happy because of the superior combat power of their firecrackers.

Liu Renyu knew what they were thinking.

"Gentlemen, you have all seen that the power of the rifle is superb, it only takes three months to train a rifleman, Tie Niu, Desheng, Yaozong, how long does it take to train a qualified archer and pikeman, how long does it take to form a sword and shield soldier, and how long does it take to form combat effectiveness?

The era of cold weapons has passed, and you originally hoped to fight Jiannu, but the firecrackers gave Jiannu such a lot of damage from the beginning, and they were already frightened, as long as our army gave them a considerable degree of damage, they would collapse.

They have few Jurchens in Jianzhou, such a big battle, as long as the casualties exceed 3,000, most of the Huang Taiji will retreat, if he does not retreat, those Baylors under him will also force him to retreat, and in the future, our Jingbian army will gradually change into rifles, whether you understand or not, the order must be carried out. ”

"Dashuai, the archers who have worked so hard to train have just given up, what a pity."

Zhang Tieniu is a muddy person, at this time there is a little fog in his eyes, thinking about the hardships and difficulties of training in the past, but at this time, he wants to give up the archers, he obeys the order, but there is always some reluctance.

"If you are behind the times, you have to make changes, just imagine, if you are an archer on the opposite side, at a distance of seventy paces, in addition to the natural wrestler, the bow and arrow shot by an ordinary archer, is there still lethality? And my rifle, even a child, can kill and wound ordinary archers at a distance of seventy paces. ”

"I know it, and when I go back this time, I will change my clothes and put on a lucky gun."

"Hmm," Liu Renyu nodded.

"Marshal, just change it, the subordinates of the lowly position can be replaced, and the lowly function can still use his own stick?"

Yang Desheng rubbed the hardwood stick in his hand, as if he was holding his childhood sweetheart's lover, and he was unwilling to separate.

Liu Renyu chuckled lightly and said: "You are already the division commander, I am afraid that the opportunity to charge into battle is not as much as that of a brute bull and a stupid big man, your stick is the totem and symbol of your Yang stick method, of course you can take it, you can take it for as long as you want." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Desheng nodded, and there was no more to say.

He Yaozong is not an old man in Jingbian Fort, of course, he can only obey Liu Renyu's orders.

From now on, the Jingbian Army will completely bid farewell to cold weapons and become a hot army with equipment. Weapons of troops. In this era, the armed forces of East Asia cannot compete with it.

It's like the Houjin army opposite the Jingbian Army, which has been completely blinded at this time.

While approaching slowly, the Jingbian army opened fire, three shots, little by little, little by little, the barrage flew one after another, and the Jin soldiers were wearing several layers of armor, whether they were riding horses, or running like crazy, in the end they were all blood pillars flying, falling to the ground.

After a short time, the five hot air balloons flew over the Houjin Army array, and according to the usual practice, they threw 10,000 enemies.

Boom, boom, boom, loud noise, flames flew, the ignited Houjin soldiers rolled around on the ground, in great pain, and the ignited horses were frightened and scurried around, stirring up the Houjin army's military formation.

"Liu Renyu's weapons are sharp, our army cannot match it, Zhushen has few people, do not die in vain, retreat."

Huang Taiji was completely frightened by Liu Renyu's new weapons, and he could only order a retreat.

The Houjin army was all cavalry, and they ran quite fast.

If their opponent is an ordinary Ming army with few cavalry, they will naturally not have much loss, and this time their enemy is the Jingbian army, which has subdued half of the Mongols and has achieved one horse for everyone, and the cavalry of the Jingbian army is composed of naturalized Mongolian Han Chinese.

After these Mongols were naturalized, they were worried that they had no chance to show their loyalty to Liu Renyu, and now they finally caught an opportunity, so they naturally came out of the nest and beat the water dogs.

60,000 cavalry, scattered out, closely followed the retreating Houjin army, bows and arrows, iron bones, maces, three-eyed guns, and all kinds of weapons went into battle, killing the Houjin soldiers on their backs.

After chasing for ten miles, Liu Renjie led the cavalry back to the Chinese army.

This battle was really cool, the Jingbian army suffered eleven casualties, all of which were the cavalry that was killed by the Houjin army during the pursuit, and there were no casualties on the side of the firecrackers.

On the other hand, on the enemy's side, more than 3,500 people were killed, including more than 2,100 Jurchens, and the rest were Mongols.

Liu Renyu ordered his subordinates to collect the bones of their fallen soldiers, set them on fire, collect the ashes, and prepare to put them in the martyrs' shrine for worship.

The wounded horses were killed, and together with the horses that had died in battle, they were washed and flayed, and made into dried horse meat for later use.
