Chapter Seventy-Six: Katyusha in the Ming Dynasty

"Put a signal, notify the battleship" The fleeing Ming army threw thistles on the ground from time to time, and the Jurchen cavalry that followed all the way in the rear did not dare to approach easily after being pitted several times, and could only hang far away along the way, as soon as they saw the Ming army move, they immediately changed the road, and never took the route that the Ming army walked, and the Jurchens wanted to avoid the route of the Ming army along the way, so that this small group of Ming troops successfully escaped to the beach.

A fireworks signal flare rose into the air with a terrible roar, and the imperial warship that was wandering on the sea, after receiving the signal, the general on the warship roared loudly: "Received the signal from the shore team, immediately set sail to meet it" A large number of sailors got busy, lowered their sails, turned the bow of the ship and began to approach the shore.

The warship began to sail along the coast close to the sea, and this sea area was specially selected when it landed, not only the water was gentle, but there were no reefs on the bottom of the sea, so that the warship could sail close to the coastline at high speed.

"My lord, our iron thistle terrestris is not much" a Ming sergeant rode a horse close to his general and said his worries, this time the Jurchen leader is also a master, along the way, send a small group of pioneers from time to time close to the Ming army to release arrows, a large group of people and horses in the rear far away, although the Jurchens behind them are only a small team, but the Ming army does not dare to turn back, at this time once it is entangled, it is really powerless, under the scoundrel Ming army can only run while throwing down the iron thistle terrestris to temporarily force back the Jurchens behind them, It's just that the effect is not ideal. The opponent is just a small group of men and horses, unlike the cavalry of the brigade, which is not easy to turn and stop, and can flexibly avoid the thistles left on the march route by himself and others.

"The warship support has been notified, as long as we rush to the beach, we will be safe" The general, who had seen the Ming warship in full firepower during the experiment, was not worried about the Jurchens who were only a thousand people after the ascension.

"I found that my men and horses were approaching at high speed, and a large group of enemy cavalry was following behind them," and the lookout of the warship reported the latest military situation he had observed.

"Abandon all the thistles, advance at full speed and join the warships" After sprinkling the few thistles, the fleeing Ming army no longer cherished horsepower and began to increase the speed of the horses with all their might.

"The other side has no thistles, bypass the front route, and the whole army pursues" The large Jurchen cavalry was divided into two, bypassing the route that the Ming army had just accelerated on, and for a while the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the sound pierced all directions, if the Ming army had no other tactics, it would have to be explained here today.

"Lord Ezhen, a Ming warship has been found on the sea ahead, be careful of the other party's fraud," the Han people beside him reminded carefully.

"You Han people are cowardly, no matter how powerful the Ming sailor is, he can't go ashore, last time he wasn't burned by the Great Khan, this whip is a reward for you. If you dare to mess with my army's heart, I really cut you off" The Jurchen savage on horseback, a horse whip was whipped on the face of the Han man who spoke just now, and he entrusted his Great Khan Emperor Taiji with a large number of Ming court scholars as staff, Gushan is really unscrupulous, and the Ming people are weak, that is the best livestock left by Changshengtian to the Jurchens, how can they climb to the head of their own masters, what do the Jurchen warriors need to grab directly, if the Ming people dare to resist and disobey, they will be killed, it's that simple, it takes so many tricks.

The cavalry of both sides drew closer and closer to the warship.

"All god rockets, fan-shaped to the east, in order to elevate the angle of thirty-two scales to thirty-five scales arrangement" Now all the warships of the Ming Navy Division are double-decker design, and the belly of the ship is similar to the general battleships of this period, all of which are loaded with red-coated cannons, but all the cannons on the deck have been removed, replaced with 2 rows of bed crossbows, and a large number of god rockets are piled up near the bed crossbows.

After receiving the order of the lookout, all the sailors began to calibrate the scale after the bed crossbow raised its head, and the current lookout is not only responsible for observing the enemy's situation, but also responsible for calculating the landing point of the god rocket, and guiding the bed crossbowman to launch a unified attack, so it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Under the proofreading of the bed crossbowman, all the bed crossbows were neatly aligned, and the ceramic divine rockets revealed their majestic arrows pointing obliquely at the sky, quietly waiting for the enemy to approach.

Soon the cavalry of the Ming army began to walk side by side with the warship, slowly overtaking the warship, and the cavalry of the Jurchen brigade on the shore also began to slowly follow the warship, and whistled at the sailors on the warship as they walked, as if to say that I will chase and kill your people in front of you, what's the matter.

"Brothers, those barbarians dare to laugh at us, give him some color" Someone in the cabin saw this scene through the cannon firing hole, and his teeth itched with anger.

"The enemy's main force is approaching, ready" Shooting holes were opened in the belly of the ship, and one by one the red-coated cannons were pushed out, and the black muzzles of the guns shone with the light of death in the sun.

"What's polite, let this group of savages taste the power of the cannon, and fire the cannon" From the stern to the bow of the ship, the sailors who control the cannon light the fuse of the cannon in turn.

Before they could run, they heard a burst of "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom", the cannon that had just been stretched out on the warship had already fired, and more than a dozen shells flew out from the stern to the bow of the ship, and the Jurchen cavalrymen who hit the horses turned over, and many horses that had lost their owners were frightened out of control by the sound of cannons, and they were strung around.

After the cannon sounded, all the Jurchens who had fought with the Ming army finally breathed a sigh of relief, the red-clothed cannons of the Ming army were already advantageous, but they could not fire continuously in a short time, and this time was enough for them to escape from the vicinity of this warship.

"Divine rockets, release" With the order of the lookout, after a burst of "boom", "boom" and "boom" sounds, more than a hundred arm-thick divine rockets formed a phalanx to cover the heads of the Jurchens, and the cannons fired by the warship just now were all solid bullets, more than a dozen shots, although the momentum was amazing, but the power was concentrated on the dozen or so ballistics, in the face of thousands of enemy troops, the number of people killed was extremely limited.

Unlike cannons, the power of the god rocket does not mainly rely on the penetrating force when shooting, but on the fire ignited after the impact to kill the enemy, hundreds of crossbow arrows with fire are fired continuously, crossing arcs in the sky, and the fire oil sprayed after the broken arrow body causes a fire within a radius of several square meters, the thick hair of the war horse, when it encounters extremely viscous fire oil, it is a little bit of fire, countless burning war horses gallop around, crash everywhere, and the Jurchen cavalry formation is chaotic for a while.

The bed crossbows in the array were fired together, and the dense divine rockets fell overwhelmingly, a large-scale fire, this scene, even if Chongzhen from later generations saw it for the first time in the school field, he was not moved, and the first thought in his mind was that he actually made up the Ming Dynasty version of the Katyusha rocket artillery.
