Chapter 143: Moths to the Fire

The more than 200 mortars of the artillery battalion were chirping, and the artillerymen were tired of waiting for the guns to be fired. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dozens of mortar shells crossed the heads of the Laizhou soldiers in a parabola and chased the fleeing captive soldiers.

Soon, the rumbling explosion sounded in the crowd of captives and war horses not far behind.

The steel bullet rain generated by the explosion of the cannonballs hit the body of the Manchu devil, cut through the body of the war horse, and wiped out hundreds of fleeing Manchu headquarters soldiers on the spot.

However, more than 200 of the Manchu headquarters led by Kuroki Jin finally escaped. It was not solved by Wang Rui at one time.

Because the generals of the Manchu devils did not understand the Laizhou Army, or they directly treated the Laizhou Army as an ordinary Ming army, they were ruthlessly calculated by Wang Rui.

Not only did the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Manchu headquarters led by Hei Mujin almost be wiped out by Xu Fu, but the Mongol Tatar soldiers who attacked the front and left and right flanks of the Laizhou army also fell into blood mold in front of the violent volley of the Laizhou army.

In fact, in the final analysis, whether it was Heimu Jin or Unag, they despised the Laizhou Army too much at the beginning.

Even after a tentative attack and a great loss, they still took it for granted that the loading and firing speed of this Ming army was only slightly faster than that of the ordinary Ming army.

And they had never encountered such an all-enforced army as the Laizhou Army before. The old revolution has encountered a new problem!

Because the Ming army they have always encountered, without exception, is a general with a small number of elite family members, plus a large number of ordinary soldiers like beggars. As long as you defeat the family members of these generals, the rest of the matter is to chase and kill all the way.

However, in the Laizhou Army, whether you are a man in the cooking squad or a baggage soldier who is responsible for carrying supplies and ammunition, the training for 20 days a month is not touched by the wind or thunder.

This is also the reason why Unag, who has been in battle for a long time, still insisted on launching a full-army assault after being hit by several rounds of salvos and killing and wounding more than 2,000 Mongol soldiers.

This Unag was already in his forties at this time, and since he took refuge in the old wild boar skin of Manchu, he had been fighting with Manchu, saying that he could not fight, had no experience in battle formations, and could not observe the enemy's situation, which was undoubtedly untrue.

But the Laizhou Army, an army that should not have appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, its equipment, its combat power, and its organizational structure completely surpassed the imagination of anyone in this era. All empiricism will be taught a lesson in front of it by bloody and tragic failures!

When more than 8,000 Mongol soldiers charged the Laizhou army, Unag seemed to see the dawn of victory. In his memory, every time he launched such a fierce charge, he could crush the Ming army in one fell swoop.

But he was unsurprisingly disappointed in the end. Because the Laizhou Army, whether it was on the front or on the left and right flanks, the continuous shooting started one after another, and countless warriors who rushed to the front fell one by one in the metal bullet rain of the Laizhou Army.

"Rush! Rush! Keep blowing the trumpet! Unag saw that his son-in-law was constantly lying in a pool of blood, and at this time he completely lost his mind, and urged the Bayala beside him to continue to blow the trumpet.

As a result, in the front and left and right flank positions of the Laizhou Army, there was also the same scene as the rear formation: countless Mongolian Tatar soldiers rushed towards the Laizhou Army position like moths to the fire!

"Holy shit! These captive Tartars are crazy! Give Lao Tzu an order: three rows for one round, three sections of shooting! Zhu Lei stared at the big excited eyes, and gave orders loudly in a rough voice.

Although the wide lawn in front of the Laizhou army was full of bloody corpses of Mongolian Tatars, these captives still rushed in one after another, cooperating with the massacre of the Laizhou army!

"Smack, smack, smack!" Under the command of Zhu Lei and officers at all levels, three rows and one round of rear-loading guns rang out continuously. Dense bullets whirled towards the frantically charging Mongol soldiers, harvesting the lives of these Tartar soldiers who were still killing and setting fire to the left of the Ming Jing Division yesterday.

In the face of the musket bullets of the powerful and dense Laizhou army, these Mongolian soldiers of the Manchu headquarters with high riding and archery skills and strong individual combat power were as weak as lambs to be slaughtered at this time.

After all, the salvo firepower of the three rows and one round of the Laizhou Army's front formation is really not something that human flesh and blood can resist.

It is estimated that readers who often read novels will be puzzled when they see Zhu Lei's command: Brother! What about Qi Shaobao's three-stage rotation tactics?

Yes! This is also a three-stage round. Our Lord Wang Rui, when training officers, did not mention Qi Shuai's musket tactics.

However, after talking about this three-stage round-round shooting tactic, he specially added that no matter how many rounds of shooting are taken, the core essence is to maintain continuous firepower!

In layman's terms, it means that you can shoot in three rounds, let the fire continue, and you will shoot in three rounds. If you reload slowly, you can do four or five rounds.

Of course, the Xianglaizhou army is now equipped with rear-loading firing pistols or fixed-loading ammunition, and ordinary soldiers can reload and fire five rounds per minute. In fact, two rounds of fire can completely stop any infantry charge.

As to what tactics to adopt, the Laizhou Army has made many explorations in previous exercises and actual combat.

Therefore, Wang Rui completely delegated the command of the battle to the commanders of each battalion. Therefore, Zhu Lei and Xu Fu had their own tactics in the face of enemy attacks.

Zhu Lei and Xu Fu's front and back battles were lively, but Chen Ming and Li Zhenghao on the left and right flanks felt quite lonely.

Chen Ming believed that he was Wang Rui's brother-in-law, and he was bent on making meritorious contributions, and after hearing the gunshots in front and behind, he was also looking forward to participating in the war with warm eyes.

As for Li Zhenghao, as a newly promoted battalion officer, he also needs an opportunity to prove his command ability, and he is also looking forward to the coming of the captives.

If the generals of the Ming army knew that there were such two strange and unpopular guards officers, I don't know if they would be stunned and cry and laugh. Well, what's that? It's a big surprise!

The generals of the Ming army, now from Guanning to Jiubian, who is not afraid of captives like tigers? can't hide, so there's still hope that they will come to fight soon!

The ridiculous minds of these two guys, no one knows now. But the full-fledged devil soldiers they were looking forward to really came!

It is said that it is a Manchurian devil soldier, but it is actually a part of the left and right wings of Mongolia assigned by Unag, all of which are Mongolian Tatar soldiers from the Manchu headquarters in Liaodong. However, their clothing and equipment are already similar to those of the Manchu devil soldiers, at least Chen Ming and Li Zhenghao can't tell the difference.

"Rush over! Shoot these dogs! "The two Mongol Taiji who attacked Chen Ming's left flank with more than 1,000 Mongol soldiers were Hadan Batel and Geriletu.

They shouted and commanded the warriors of their tribe to attack. It is also the old tactic used by the Mongols, that is, cavalry and archery.

In the past, such tactics were very effective against the Ming army. Because the Mongol soldiers had not yet rushed to the front, the Ming soldiers usually couldn't hold it back, and "suddenly, suddenly, suddenly" let go of the bird mill in their hands.

And because the Ming army's bird milling was generally inferior in workmanship and easy to explode, the soldiers who used it did not dare to aim and shoot at all. Most people shoot with their eyes closed, and the muzzle of the gun is either aimed at the sky or at the ground, and the effective lethality of the enemy in front of them is actually very small.

Moreover, the Mongols were charging on horseback, and the speed was extremely fast, so it was much more difficult to shoot the running cavalry.

Therefore, it is not possible for the captives and the Tartars not to despise it. It's just that this time they met the Laizhou Army, but they kicked them on the tip of the subway.
