Chapter 19: The Fire-Breathing Monster

Xiao Tianjian also saw this Tartar cavalry with a white flag, when he saw them rushing over so swaggeringly, Xiao Tianjian sneered in his heart, he didn't know how many actual combat tests his battle formation had been tested, it was a piece of cake to deal with such a charge of the Tartar cavalry, he didn't even have the interest of personally ordering and commanding the battle, just coldly watching Li Yantian on the left wing deal with it.

The leader of the team, Lazhangjing, as he got closer and closer to the Xingtian Army's infantry formation, also began to become more and more bloodthirsty, the two bull's eyes exuded a cruel fierce light, slightly lowered the body on the war horse, pointed the iron lance in his hand forward, and roared in Manchu: "Kill!" Kill all these dogs! ……”

"Aim! ......"When a fire-gun commander saw that the Tartars had rushed seventy paces to the flank of the large formation, he finally swung his sword forward, fell heavily and roared.

The first row of firecrackers responded by lowering the shoulders of the self-generated firecrackers, flattening them up, and barely making too much aim, they aimed their guns at the oncoming group of Tartar cavalry, and pulled the trigger together.

Although the wind is relatively strong today, if it is the Ming Army's bird gun, such a windy day is easy to blow away the gunpowder of the bird gun into the powder pool, so that the bird gun can not be fired, but this kind of thing is not a problem at all for the self-generated fire gun used by the Xingtian Army at the moment, every self-generated fire gun, even including the more old-fashioned bird gun of the Xingtian Army, has an automatically opened medicine pool cover, which will block the wind and only be turned on when the fire is fired, so such a windy day basically does not affect the self-generated fire of the Xingtian Army. A volley of buckshot whizzed out of the mouth of the gun and headed straight for their target.

When the Tartar cavalry rushed to this distance, some shrewd Tartar soldiers had already begun to drum up a little in their hearts, because the group of enemies they encountered today obviously had a much better psychological quality than the Ming gunners they had encountered before. But today, until they rushed to within 100 steps of the enemy's large array, these firecrackers in the enemy formation were still looking at them coldly, without the slightest commotion, quietly waiting for them to rush closer, which was very rare in the Ming army.

However, because they were under military orders, although they made a mistake in their hearts, they could not stop the attack, and could only continue to follow the Jia Lazhangjing in front of them to continue to accelerate the charge, until they entered a distance of nearly seventy paces, they saw that the firecrackers in the enemy formation began to move, one by one the guns fell on their shoulders, and aimed at them flatly, what surprised them even more was that these thieves did not light the fire rope, just aimed at them, some of the Tartars almost laughed, can the bird guns without the fire rope be used? Can't you scare them?

But before they could laugh, they saw the flashes of the "bird guns" in the enemy formation, and almost instantly, they felt the neighing sound of the war horses sitting down, and one after another the war horses neighed and crashed into the ground, and the flying bullets opened huge blood holes in the horses they sat on, and the bright red horse blood immediately splattered out, where could the heavily injured war horses still hold their masters to charge into battle!

As a result, the Tartar cavalry who rushed to the front followed their horses one after another to the cold and hard ground, and the unlucky ones broke their necks on the spot, and the lucky ones also fell to the ground, rolling on the ground and couldn't get up, even if someone got up, they were immediately knocked out by the horses of their comrades who came after, and immediately stepped on the horse's hooves.

The firecrackers of the Xingtian Army faithfully carried out their officers' orders, and chose to target these relatively large war horses, and overturned twenty or thirty war horses at once, some of which had more than three or four projectiles in their bodies.

Even the one who rushed to the front with great momentum was overturned in front of the left flank of the Xingtian Army on the spot, broke his neck and died on the spot.

But such a salvo did not really frighten these Tartar cavalry, this group of barbarians nerves are indeed big enough, although seeing the cavalry brothers in front of them suffer, but for them, this is nothing, they are all Jurchen athletes, they should gallop on the battlefield, death is inevitable, and they know very well that the Ming army's bird guns are a hammer deal, after a row of guns is spared, there is no time to reload, with the sacrifice of these warriors in front, they can unscrupulously rush to the front of this group of enemies to release arrows, So the Tartar cavalry behind not only did not be afraid, but continued to speed up one by one with a strange howl, and some of them set up arrows, and when they got closer, they released arrows towards the Xingtian army formation.

The Tartar soldiers thought well, but today they chose the wrong object, they didn't understand the power of the Xingtian Army, and all their cognitions were quickly completely overturned, just as they continued to accelerate and rush to the Xingtian Army's large array, the second row of self-made fire guns rang out again, a series of bean-like guns, practiced into one, and another row of gunballs shot fiercely into the Tartar cavalry group that followed.

The first row of firecrackers had already withdrawn to the rear in an orderly manner, and began to clean and reload in a tense and orderly manner.

The leader of the team, Lazhangjing, was stunned to see the formation of the Heavenly Punishment Army like a monster that could breathe fire, spitting flames almost all the time, hitting row after row of hot lead bullets into the bodies of his soldiers and horses, and the brave and invincible athletes under his command seemed to be like targets, row after row of men and horses fell to the ground, and the wounded and wounded horses spread all over the side of the enemy formation and let out a miserable scream that covered a loud sound, and the blood of people and horses was still steaming in the cold wind.

He couldn't figure out how this gang of thieves could do this, so dense to fire at them, and this gang of thieves' "bird guns" is also terrifying, the accuracy is also ridiculously high, every gun can cause fatal damage to his soldiers and horses, their iron cotton armor and lined chain mail in front of these guns, like paper paste, can not stop these guns at all, just a short time of effort, he has more than 100 people folded here, and the enemy's fire guns seem to never stop, The continuous ringing of rows continued to knock the warriors who rushed him to the ground.

The distance of fifty paces seemed to have become an impassable death trench, and the warriors who had not known how many Ming troops they had defeated could only be cut to the ground by the enemy's bullets like rice harvesting.

Although the Tartar soldiers are very brave and good at fighting, but this does not mean that they do not have a little humanity, they do not know the pain and do not know the fear, when they see their robes falling one after another, they also begin to have an irrepressible fear, many Tartar soldiers see that they can't rush over, and they begin to shoot arrows at the enemy on horseback from a distance.

And the cavalry is impossible to open a strong bow on horseback, they all use a horn bow, the bow power is relatively soft, the range is naturally limited, sixty or seventy steps away, many arrows do not wait to fall into the crowd of the Xingtian Army, they fall to the ground, even if they float into the crowd of the Xingtian Army, for the various armored Xingtian Army members, as long as they do not hit the face, basically it will not cause any damage, occasionally a few people with arrows in the face or arm, will also immediately retreat into the center of the formation, and immediately there will be medical guards with the battalion to raise arrows for them, Stop the bleeding, medicate them, and bandage them to make sure they don't die from their injuries or become crippled later.

At this moment of the two armies, the firearms of the Xingtian Army exerted great power, beating this group of invincible Tartar cavalry on their backs.

This Jia Lazhang Jing was angry and shouted, and he did not believe in evil and urged his troops to attack the Xingtian Army again and again, trying to break this one-sided situation, but the ending was very miserable, and all his efforts were shattered in front of the rows of Xingtian Arms Gun.

In just a quarter of an hour, this group of elite Tartar cavalry with a white flag under the command of Dolgon launched several attacks on the flank of the Xingtian Army, but the result in exchange was that they left two or three hundred corpses of men and horses on the side of the Xingtian Army's formation, but they almost did not cause much damage to the Xingtian Army, let alone disperse the Xingtian Army's large array, while the large array of Li Yantian's camp was like a fire-breathing monster, constantly devouring the corpses of the Tartar cavalry who rushed up.

That Jialazhangjing watched batch after batch of subordinate warriors fall in front of the formation, and finally his nerves finally collapsed, and he also realized that it was impossible to achieve any effect if he continued to rush like this, and if he continued like this, he could only leave these remaining warriors here, in that case, he could not afford it anyway, even their Belle Dolgon.

You have to know how many of them are Jurchens! The horse armor soldiers and infantry soldiers that can be drawn out of a banner are only two or three thousand people at most, and the rest are still unarmored followers, but in just such a short time, he lost the bravest soldiers in the two or three hundred banners, so he had to grit his teeth with red eyes and order a retreat, and no longer dare to lead his troops to attack this extremely terrible enemy army.

Looking at this group of Tartar cavalry who began to turn their horses and flee with infinite fear, the Xingtian Army suddenly cheered up and down, and the morale of the army was even more invigorated, what bullshit Tartars, I don't know if I don't fight, after the fight, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army found that they were actually not more than Erer, and the firearms of the Xingtian Army were simply a weapon to defeat the enemy, no matter how fierce they were, in front of the firearms of the Xingtian Army, they were all pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, so the morale of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army was suddenly boosted a lot, One by one, the last trace of fear of the Tartar army in their hearts was completely left behind.
