Chapter 952: Heavy Cavalry Camp
The Ming soldiers lined up in three rows in the fence, and released guns outward, and countless guns sprayed out, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was accompanied by rising gunsmoke, filling the front.
"Put!" The non-commissioned officers endured the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke amid the shouts of the officers, coughing nervously and taking turns shooting in the white smoke.
However, the speed of their shooting, really could not stop the cavalry of the attack, when the four sons of the Franc machine quickly finished, the speed of the Franc machine's artillery attack immediately slowed down, and without the Franc machine shot out pieces of iron sand to knock down the oncoming Qing cavalry, the Ming army's firepower immediately weakened by half, and the Qing cavalry immediately rushed to the front of the battalion.
All this was only for a moment, but it made the soldiers of the Ming army fantasize that if the rate of fire of the bird guns was faster, if there were more Francophone guns, and there were endless sub-guns, would it be able to stop the cavalry from rushing up.
At this time, three thousand Mongolian cavalry, more than six or seven hundred dead and wounded, they approached the camp, they threw out flying hooks, hooked the fence of the Ming camp, and then urged the war horse to pull back, the front hooves of the war horse raised, a neigh, more than ten horses at the same time, the rope jumped straight, inserted into the fence in the soil, and was immediately pulled and shaken.
The Qing cavalry waved their whips, beating desperately, the horses were in pain, struggling to pluck the horses' hooves, and finally in a long neigh, they suddenly pulled down a section of fence that was three feet long, bringing out patches of dirt, and in the whole process, the Qing cavalry was still shot off the horse.
In the distance, Dai Shan's eyes were like water, he squinted and watched the Mongolian cavalry pull open the fence of the Ming army camp, and did not feel sorry for the casualties of the Mongolian soldiers, but waved his hand, "Heavy cavalry attack!" ”
As the elder of the Aixin Jueluo family, Dai Shan has gone through ups and downs, and when he was young, he also won the title of "Baturu", and he commanded countless battles in his life and had rich experience.
Although he became more conservative and gentle in temperament as he got older, once he decided to fight, he did not hesitate to command and acted resolutely.
"Woo..." The trumpet of the Qing army sounded again, and three thousand cavalry rushed out of the Qing army.
Although the Mongols in front suffered heavy casualties, they had already broken through the fence of the Ming army camp and created conditions for the heavy cavalry to rush into the Ming army camp.
At this time, the Ming army's front had been covered by Qing cavalry arrows, and the guns were constantly shot down, and the formation was slightly loosened, and the Mongolian cavalry opened the fence of the Ming army's camp, which was undoubtedly further exposed by the Ming army.
There is a way that the house leak happened to rain overnight, the ship was broken and the first wave was hit, Xie Qian was pre-letting the soldiers stabilize the formation, the horn of the Qing army rose to the sky, he looked at the Qing army, only to see a cavalry team slowly drove out, the men and horses were armoured, and the whole team was cold and shining under the sun.
"Heavy Ride!" Ruan Mei exclaimed.
The most fighting with the cavalry of the Qing army was the army of the Chu Party, and the infantry of the Ming army was most afraid of the heavy cavalry of the Qing army.
Xie Qian's face was cold, his expression became solemn, he had not fought with the Qing army's heavy cavalry, but when the imperial court's martial arts taught the generals, he mentioned the Qing army's heavy cavalry many times, and compiled books and sent them to the front-line generals for experience exchange.
Xie Qian saw that these cavalry were as tall as a hill, and they charged up and shook the mountain, and the momentum was monstrous, so he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Franc machine for live ammunition, suspend the attack!" ”
The chess officer behind him immediately gave the order, the heavy cavalry bow and arrow are difficult to hurt, and the gun pill can only break the armor within fifty steps, but at such a close distance, at most one round of guns, the front line will be hit.
The order was delivered, and the Franc machine immediately stopped, and the gunners hurriedly loaded the sub-guns with ammunition and prepared all four sub-guns so that they could fire four rounds rapidly.
The Qing army's heavy cavalry slowly raised its speed, and when it reached five hundred paces away, the general led by him knew that he was about to enter the range of the Franc machine's attack, and the Qing general, who only leaked a pair of eyes, raised his spear, and the heavy cavalry in the front row all looked at him, and stretched out the cavalry spear in his hand, pressed it down, and aimed the spear at the Ming array.
"Kill!" The heavy cavalry is wrapped in iron armor, and the people and horses plus the armor are at least hundreds of catties, and the impact of running is enough to shake the mountains and rivers.
The heavy cavalry is too heavy to start, so it starts very slowly, but once it runs, it can easily slow down.
Seeing that the heavy cavalry had raised its speed, the four hooves flew in, and the cavalry leaned forward, and the mountains were about to impact the Ming army's front.
Xie Qian stared closely at the incoming cavalry, silently calculating the distance in his heart, and when the cavalry entered five hundred steps, he decisively waved his hand!
The flag platoon officer waved the red flag, and the commander who commanded the Franc machine shouted: "Release!" ”
The cannon sounded, the sound was like muffled thunder, the whistling cannonballs flew quickly towards the enemy cavalry, in the front row, a knight was suddenly hit by the cannonball on the helmet, a crisp sound, the cavalry was smashed neck up, the cervical vertebrae were broken, the cavalry gun in the hand hung down, and the body slowly fell on the horse's back.
In order to strengthen the impact, the Qing army tied the cavalry to the war horse, even if it was stoned to death, it was rarely off the horse, the war horse with his corpse, continued to gallop, the Ming army saw that no cavalry fell, they showed horror.
At this time, a cannonball finally hit the horse's head, and the entire war horse took off with the cavalry, and then fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, which made the Ming army in the front row immediately breathe a sigh of relief.
"Spearman!" Xie Qian let out a loud roar, and the pikemen immediately quickly ran from the gap between the guns to the front line, and then crouched down and erected the spear forest to resist the onslaught of the heavy cavalry.
One hundred and fifty steps! Fifty steps!
As the distance approached, the officer commanding the hand, perhaps because of nervousness, his voice was a little out of tune, "Put!" ”
Streams of gunpowder smoke rose and thousands of guns were fired at the same time, and the spearmen sitting in front of them saw a spectacular scene.
The cavalry that rushed to the front fell one after another, and the gunners did not hit anyone, but all aimed at the war horses, and in the blink of an eye, there seemed to be an earthquake in the whole plain, and the earth and rocks were splashed, and one after another the war horses fell to the ground.
The Ming soldiers did not have time to rejoice, the heavy cavalry crashed into the Ming army's gun forest like a monstrous flood, the entire large array quickly recessed, and the heavy cavalry broke down several lines of defense of the Ming infantry in a blink of an eye, and the Ming army front was instantly knocked away by the Qing cavalry with the momentum of breaking the embankment.
"Lord Li, the cavalry has broken through the Ming army's front!" Nikan said loudly, pointing at the cavalry, his face full of joy.
Dai Shan had already seen it, but although the heavy cavalry rushed away from the Ming formation, the entire front of the Ming army was not chaotic, and the Ming army that was rushed away gathered again, obviously not one or two collisions can be defeated.
Dai Shan waved his hand, "Wakda, lead 10,000 cavalry, see the opportunity and rush into the camp." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Nikan again, "This king gives you 10,000 infantry troops, you must break the Korean army on the flank of the Ming army as soon as possible, and then outflank the rear road of the Ming army, this king wants to leave 30,000 Ming troops here." ”
