Chapter 345 Assault on artillery positions

But Wu Xiang's subordinates looked back at their own general, and saw that he was still standing on the wooden platform, although his face was as white as paper, he still stood still, and he didn't have any intention of running.

As a result, the morale of the army was stabilized a little.

Wu Xiang knew his own family affairs, he knew the quality of his subordinates, and if the casualties reached a certain level, whether he was on the front line or not, his subordinates would collapse on their own.

So he could only shout frantically in his heart: "Brother-in-law, come quickly, come quickly, otherwise our army will be defeated!" ”

Zhang Chun and Song Wei were afraid of the Houjin cavalry and did not dare to send troops to attack the Houjin army array, so they could only watch Wu Xiang's troops being bombarded by artillery.

It can be said that every time Hou Jin Bing released a round of cannons, Zhang Chun's heart felt like he had been smashed a few times with a heavy hammer, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and the sense of powerlessness made him almost crazy.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu can hold on for so long! If he is really defeated, I don't have much to say, but if Zong Zu doesn't come here again, and Zong Wu's troops are defeated, it will be the turn of our army and Song Zongzhen. Mr. Zu, when are you coming, come quickly! Zhang Chun looked at the east, looking at it, and muttered to himself.

Zhang Chun pinned all his hopes on Zu Dashou.

Besides, the two blue flags led by the ancestors and Liu Renyu and Yue Tuo, the two red flags and the four flags fought fiercely for a long time, and although their own side suffered heavy losses, this kind of life-fighting style made Yue Tuo unbearable at all.

The two sides had only been fighting for about forty minutes, and the two blue flags and the two red flags had already lost nearly a thousand men and horses, which made Yue Tuo's heart drip blood in distress.

And Jue Rosselle's face has long since turned the color of pig liver, and now every minute of his time on the battlefield is torment.

But Yue Tuo, Ye Chen, He Shuotu, Jue Luo Sele, and Zhanggu all knew that Huang Taiji was behind them, and even if they were burdened with huge casualties, they would have to hold on until Huang Taiji's side was victorious.

Huang Taiji won, and the Ming army that rushed out of Dalinghe City broke their minds and could only retreat obediently, so that their four banners were not sacrificed in vain.

Liu Renyu rode his horse and galloped, killing the enemy while paying attention to the movement of another battlefield in the west, he had been worried that Jiannu would use artillery and his own reinforcements would not be able to parry.

When he heard a dull roar from the west, he knew that it was the sound of a cannon firing after a long time of battle, and this was very different from the previous roar, this sound came from so far away, and it still had such an effect, and he concluded that this must be the powerful cannon used by the Houjin army.

Thinking of this, he rode back to his chariot with a hot air balloon tied to it, and ordered the herald to wave the flag towards Ke Zhihong, asking what the wind was now.

Ke Zhihong replied again and again, indicating that it was now the east wind, and the wind was blowing from the east and was blowing to the west.

"Quick, order Ke Zhihong to take all the hot air balloons and fly to the west, as long as they encounter Jiannu's artillery, they will blow up Lao Tzu as a goddamn person, and then they try to land in the reinforcement camp, if not, they will simply fly to Jinzhou." Liu Renyu said in a downward voice to the herald.

"Yes, General." When the herald received the order, he quickly waved the order flag and transmitted the news to Ke Zhihong and the other air forces.

Ke Zhihong received the order, so he immediately ordered his three hot air balloons to throw off the ropes, and took advantage of the east wind to fly towards the west.

During the flight, the pilots of the Jingbianbao Army controlled the furnace and used the troposphere to gradually approach the military formation where Huang Taiji was located.

After flying over a mountain beam, the Jingbianbao Air Force saw an open field in front of them, and the battle situation of the enemy army and their own reinforcements was all seen by them.

To the east of the Houjin formation, forty artillery pieces were lined up, bombarding their own barracks, and the enemy was installing a pavilion-like guard for the artillery, and at this time half of the artillery was already under the protection of this guard.

"Damn, there are so many flowery intestines in Jiannu, brothers, do you remember the method of throwing bombs while moving?" Ke Zhihong shouted loudly to his subordinates.

"Remember, you have to vote before you get close to the goal." A group of Air Force soldiers replied.

"Very well, blow up their gunpowder jars later, with incendiary bombs." Ke Zhihong shouted loudly.

"Yes, put the total." When the soldiers received the order, they took out incendiary bombs and searched for the gunpowder storage of the Houjin artillerymen.

At this time, the Houjin soldiers had already discovered the hot air balloon of the Ming army flying towards their own military formation.

At this time, their own personnel were dense, and the Ming army could cause large casualties by dropping a few bombs at will, so all the Houjin troops looked nervously at the hot air balloon in the sky, and where the hot air balloon let it fly, they left there and ran elsewhere.

Even Huang Taiji didn't care about the majesty of the Great Khan at this time, so he rode his horse and took refuge in all directions.

But the nourishing artillery unit could not run.

Previously, he already knew that the hot air balloons of the Ming army in Dalinghe City were attacking, so as soon as he arranged the cannon emplacement, he immediately urged his subordinates to install wooden shelves for protection to protect the cannons, so that the hot air balloons of the Ming army could not be used.

Who knew that the Ming army was advancing so fast, and it didn't take long for the war to send a hot air balloon to rush over.

Tong Yangxing was dumbfounded when he saw that the Ming army had killed him.

"Damn, the west wind was still blowing just now, why did it become an east wind after a while. Quick, quickly push the gunpowder away, push it into the wooden shed to hide, so that they can't blow up, and the cannons in the shed then bombard the Ming army camp. Tong Yang ordered again and again.

The Houjin artillery had the order to rush to push the two-wheeled carts loaded with cans of gunpowder.

In order to facilitate the charging and increase the rate of fire, these post-gold artillerymen packed the gunpowder into small clay pots and loaded them on two-wheeled vehicles for backup at any time. If this is attacked by the Ming army with incendiary bombs once, your artillery formation will be completely finished.

So the Houjin artillerymen who got the order hurriedly abandoned the artillery, and pushed the two-wheeled cart in unison and pushed towards the wooden shed.

"Damn, they're really going to figure it out. Ke Zhihong saw Hou Jinbing's style, and couldn't help but punch the rattan frame heavily, very angry.

"Ke Ye, the west wind is getting more and more urgent, if we don't drop bombs, we will miss this round of offensive." Ke Zhihong's deputy said urgently.

"Damn," Ke Zhihong stared angrily at the artillery position of the Houjin Army, he looked at it unconsciously for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he had a brilliant idea.

It turned out that the Houjin artillery position was set up temporarily, on a barren grass, and the grass was withered and yellow, and it looked almost a meter high.

"Brothers, line up in a line, in front of the artillery position close to Jiannu, and still incendiary bombs towards the grass, so that the grass will burn." Ke Zhihong said excitedly.

"Yes, Master Ke." When the Jingbianbao Air Force received the order, they controlled the hot air balloon, tried their best to make the hot air balloon fly in a line, and marched in unison towards the Houjin artillery position.

"Hey, what can you do to me?" Tong Yangxing saw the Ming army's hot air balloon attack, and he didn't panic at all, because long before the hot air balloon flew, he had already gathered the gunners and gunpowder into the wooden shed, and he left the cannon on the position.

So he squinted his eyes so confidently, squinted at the hot air balloon of the Ming army, looked around with pride, and said, "They will definitely be in vain." ”

When Tong Yangxing's subordinates heard this, they all praised themselves for their proper planning and response to the law.

But before their words fell, a sudden change occurred.

I saw that the Ming army threw incendiary bombs from the hot air balloon again and again and threw them on the grass three feet away in front of their artillery position,......。 ”

Loud noises rang out one after another.

The huge fireball from the incendiary bomb ignited the grass in an instant, and at this time, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the hot air balloon of the Ming army was blown away by the wind after throwing a round of incendiary bombs, and before it could throw the second round.

But this strong wind fueled the fire, and almost in the blink of an eye, the monstrous fire was about to burn to Houjin's artillery position.

At this time, the wooden shed was crowded with two-wheeled carts full of gunpowder, and if it exploded, it would have to be.

Seeing such monstrous flames rushing in, Tong Yangxing was already frightened, and he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "It's over, the fire is burning, our army can't stop it, retreat quickly, retreat quickly." ”
