Chapter 568: Heavenly Thunder Rolls
The fleeing men of the Hatbal tribe knew best what this shrill whistling meant, and they began to beat their horses and run to the side.
However, in the process of charging quickly, such an act is tantamount to adding chaos to the entire team.
They suddenly changed direction and ran to the side, blocking the path of their companions behind them.
For a while, the front and rear people collided, knocking dozens of knights to the ground, and their positions were in chaos.
However, what really caused the chaos was the artillery shells from the Dengzhou army.
The first round of more than 250 mortars fired by the artillery battalion instantly fell into the herd of Menglu's horses, and these shells exploded almost at the same time, blowing up the Menglu's charging team into chaos.
The shrapnel from the explosion of the "boom, boom, boom......" shell was like countless knives, and with the tremendous power provided by gunpowder, it instantly drilled into the bodies of the surrounding captives and horses.
The shock wave of these shells blew up people on their backs at each landing point, and the bodies of these people and horses who fell to the ground became a stumbling block for the charging knights behind.
These captives, who were lucky enough not to be bombed, had to rein in their horses or turn their horses to avoid them, and their actions objectively caused even greater confusion.
"Quick! Just rush forward! The artillery of the Ming army is slow, rush in front of them and we will win! Oktulu stared at his reddened eyes and yelled like a madman.
Oktulu had taken the warriors of the tribe to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to fight in the grass valley before, passed under the fort of the Ming army countless times, and once encountered the Ming army's artillery attack.
But the accuracy of the Ming army's artillery is really flattering, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are referring to the east and the west. As for the speed of the artillery, there were several times when Oktulu ran out more than a mile with his own men, and the second round of artillery shells of the Ming army could be fired.
Oktulu really can't understand that these Ming troops are really stupid. The artillery is so slow, what are you doing in the second round?
Of course, only Ming Jun himself can explain the cattiness of this.
"Yo hehe......", "Wulala......", "Ya yo hehe......" The Mengyu Tartar cried, nimbly past the fallen men and horses, and continued to rush towards the position of the Dengzhou army.
However, no matter how skillful the captives were, in the process of charging at high speed, many horses still stepped on the fallen Tartars. The heavy horse's hooves instantly trampled these unlucky eggs into Tujia sauce cakes.
However, in the face of the sharp artillery of the Dengzhou army, Oktulu's past experience judgment did not play any role at all.
Just as the captives adjusted their formation and continued to charge, another round of shells whistled and rushed towards them again. They savagely cut through the vast sky, and their voices were eerie and terrifying.
Hundreds of shells are again falling accurately into the ranks of the captives. Each of these shells with correction seems to have eyes, and almost everywhere there are people.
Dense shells exploded in an instant, and the casualties caused by these shells far exceeded those of the first round. In this explosion alone, more than 200 people were killed and injured.
However, that's not all. Only a dozen breaths later, the shells of the Dengzhou army roared again......
Today, the boys of the artillery battalion of the Dengzhou Army performed particularly well, firing a total of nearly 1,500 shells in the two minutes before Long Dulu gave the order to end the shelling, turning the entire area where the Meng Lu was located into a sea of fire.
The effect of this brutal covering bombing was even more unexpectedly beautiful - more than 1,000 people died under the artillery of the Dengzhou army.
The more than 2,300 tribal warriors brought by Oktulu were cut in half before they came into contact with the Dengzhou army, and they were still separated by more than a mile.
These black iron bullets falling from the sky, like tyrannical thunder, ruthlessly tore the steppe wolves into pieces of flesh with superb riding skills, excellent marksmanship, and infinite strength, so that they had no chance to shoot feathered arrows and wield scimitars.
"Immortal Heaven is angry!" "Is the wolf going to abandon its offspring?" The Trengrin Division's charging spirit vanished, and many old men raised their heads to the sky and let out a miserable wail.
"Tamin Chagan!" "They're the devil!" Many of the captives had a frightened look in their eyes, and they turned their horses' heads and fled to the location of the old camp in Tun'er.
"Good! Add chicken legs to the brothers in the artillery battalion at night! Ha ha! Long Dulu put down the telescope in front of him, and the coolness in his heart was beyond words.
"Dragon Chief! Where did the chicken drumsticks come from on this grassland? Liu Laosan reminded with a smile.
"Liu Laosan, you dog, you have made a fool of the girl! Stupid pig! Without chicken legs, can't Lao Tzu add lamb legs? Long Duanyu joked with Liu Laosan all the way.
"Leg of lamb, leg of lamb! Ha ha! Liu Laosan thought of the golden roasted leg of lamb, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Okay, go grab the leg of lamb!" The dragon drew his long knife, the tip of which was pointed in the direction of the collapse of the Trengreen to the northwest.
His face flushed with excitement, as if he were drunk, and he roared like a bell, "All of them! Follow Lao Tzu to charge! Kill all the captive men in front of you! Not a single male is allowed to stay! ”
"Bloody charge, never die!" The guards cavalry beside Long Dulu began to roar in unison, and the Chinese military command flag began to be raised high, waving three times in the direction of Mengyu.
"Bloody charge, never die!" The companies behind began to wave their flags in response, and the echoes of the soldiers came and went, like huge waves crashing on the shore.
"Rush!" The dragon slapped the war horse, and the jujube red horse under the crotch let out a long roar, like a red ball, and was shot out first.
"Rush!" "Kill! The officers and men of the Dengzhou Army shouted excitedly, urging the horse's hooves.
The dense horse's hooves are like thousands of hammers, striking heavily on this Chinese homeland, arousing the endless pride of the soldiers, and at the same time, it also wakes up the heroic souls of the sons and daughters of the Han family who are sleeping underground......
The rapid change in the situation of the war completely exceeded the scope of Yang Jianing's imagination, and the fierce scene of the enemy rushing close to the musket and firing a salvo of bows and arrows, and the fierce scene of slashing and slashing with a knife did not appear at all.
It only took a wave of extremely fast artillery bombardment to break the backbone of this captive army, and they began to flee in panic.
Just as the soldiers of the Han Warrior Army were still thinking about how to fight the Tartars, the command to charge issued by Long Dulu had already resounded through the clouds......
As a result, a very strange battlefield scene suddenly appeared:
The Dengzhou Army was strangely divided into two parts. Some of them were cavalry that galloped and charged, chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy; The other part was the artillery battalion stationed in place, as well as the unresponsive Yang Jianing division of the Han Yong Army.
"My lord, what shall we do?" Yang Biao, the leader of the family, was eager to try, and asked Yang Jianing both wanting and fearing.
"Do you need to say it? Hurry! All get on the horse with Lao Tzu and follow the brothers of the Dengzhou Army to kill the Tartars! Yang Jianing turned over and got on his horse while beckoning his own soldiers.
"Kill the Tartars, rob the women!" The soldiers of the Han Yong Army who could follow them to the grassland were not cowards, and everyone also got on their horses one after another, chasing the Dengzhou Army to kill.
