Section 122 Bloody Battle
The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer
"Three-eyed gun, prepare. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The soldiers armed with the three-eyed guns were divided into a square team for every 100 people, led by 100 households, and there were a total of 500 people.
The first three rows of soldiers with three-eyed guns were half-kneeling on the ground, and behind them were pikemen who stood the tail of their guns on the ground and held them with their feet, and the heads of their guns pointed obliquely upward, densely packed like hedgehogs shrunk into a ball.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Before the officer's order could be given, there were gunners who opened fire without permission.
When the other three-eyed gunmen heard the gunshot, they also rushed to ignite the powder twister, pouring the gunpowder in the barrel of the gun into the dead soldiers of the Han army flag who rushed over.
"Don't rush, wait! It's not thirty steps yet! ”
The officer's futile stops were quickly drowned out by the crackling gunfire.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost all towns in eastern Liaodong used three-eyed guns as standard equipment, and both cavalry and infantry were generally equipped with three-eyed guns.
Although the three-eyed gun has a short barrel and cannot be aimed at three points and one line, it still has considerable power and sufficient shooting accuracy at thirty or forty paces!
The best range of the Three-Eyed Gun is 30 paces, breaking heavy armor, it can severely damage unarmored targets at 50 paces, and it has no lethality at 100 paces.
Fortunately, the three-eyed gun is dual-purpose, and after firing the bullet, the iron pipe composed of the three barrels in front can be used as a mace.
If they have a firearm like a shotgun in their hand, they can only be used as a burning stick and slaughtered by others.
Therefore, the border soldiers in the north did not like to use shotguns, even if they hit far.
Without entering the effective distance of the Three-Eyed Gun, the damage to the dead soldiers of the Han Army Banner was not enough, and only a dozen damned soldiers fell from their horses and were trampled into mud.
Wang Pu's face was ugly, and he waved his whip and shouted loudly.
Lack of training, as soon as you get to the battlefield, you will drop the chain.
"Boom", "boom", "boom......
Fortunately, under the supervision of his own soldiers, the gunners of the Francophone guns continued to open fire, and the formation of the dead soldiers of the Han army flag was torn apart.
In addition, the gunners had a large shield in front of them, which could somewhat protect them from arrows, which also increased the gunner's courage.
Wang Shixuan's Han army flag could not withstand the bombardment of artillery, so it had to stop continuing to attack and disperse to both sides.
At the critical moment, the Mongolian light cavalry entered about 30 steps away from the Ming army led by Wang Pu, easily turned the horse's head, turned to lateral movement, and began to shoot arrows at the Ming army with a riding bow.
They used heavy arrows, and at a distance of thirty paces, they were able to pierce through heavy armor.
Moreover, the speed at which they shoot arrows is very fast, they can shoot one arrow in two breaths, and the number of Ming soldiers who fell this time gradually increased.
Wang Pu's Xuanfu soldiers all used three-eyed guns, which had a short range, which could not compare to bows and crossbows, and the reloading speed was too slow.
However, these soldiers are all border soldiers belonging to Xuanfu Town, and they often fight with the Mongolian tribes, and they know that under the current situation, the formation must not be dispersed, otherwise there is only a dead end.
Therefore, they all consciously maintained their formation, and when some of their nearby comrades fell, they immediately made up for it, raised their spears, and could not let the enemy's cavalry rush in.
Du Du stood in the distance on a war horse, and the soldiers on both sides kept screaming and falling under the horse, but he was not moved at all.
Yishan and his white-armored heavy armor were fully dressed and waited for Du Du's order.
In front, the Mongol cavalry changed wave after wave, each time with the same tactics, trying to shake the formation of the Ming army with the killing of bows and arrows, but failed again and again.
The two sides gradually became a stalemate, and no one could help anyone.
The Mongol light cavalry was skilled in riding with bows and arrows, and Wang Pu's Xuanda soldiers and horses were superior to the fast Franky cannons.
"I am willing to die for Baylor!"
"I am willing to die for Baylor!"
……
Suddenly, there was a burst of roars from Jiannu, although it was Manchu, many border soldiers could understand it.
Then I heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and unlike those Mongolian light horses, the horses did not run fast, but they felt as steady as a mountain, and slowly pressed over.
The cavalry ran faster and faster, constantly accelerating, and gradually forming the sound of wind and thunder.
Through the faint smoke, Wang Pu felt a black wall pressing down from far and near in the rear.
"Dashuai, it's a white-armored heavy soldier! It's Jiannu's white-armored heavy soldiers! The human and horse harness is heavy armor, like a wall, there is no advance or retreat! ”
There was a trilling voice in Wang Pu's personal soldiers' voices, obviously extremely frightened.
"Don't panic, they want to charge, the spear is in front, the bow and crossbow are ready!"
After all, Wang Pu has been a general at the border for a long time, and he has some knowledge, so he immediately said calmly.
In the distance, the cavalry charge line stabbed straight at him like a sharp sword out of its sheath, and he thought for a moment before ordering, "Open the cannon!" Come on! ”
"Boom!" The Franky guns arranged in front had already begun to fire, and the white-armored heavy soldiers had already entered a distance of more than 100 paces.
The gunners used shotguns in order to inflict a large number of casualties on the rushing enemy cavalry, so that the Tartars would be able to retreat.
Although they caused some casualties, they still had no intention of stopping at all, and continued to rush straight ahead. ,
There was smoke ahead, and everything was hazy.
Wang Pu personally estimated the distance, and finally, he felt that he was almost fifty steps away, and hurriedly shouted: "Bow and crossbow ready!" ”
"Squeak", "squeak", ...... The sound of the bow opening sounded, the bow and crossbow had already been opened and aimed ahead, the crossbow arrow had been placed on the groove, and as long as the mechanism was detained, the machine bracket would be released.
To deal with this kind of heavy cavalry, the bows and arrows of the soldiers will not have much power, and the key is to look at the bow and crossbow.
Yishan's elite white-armored heavy troops were like bamboos, and the Jiannu in front of them got out of the way, letting him rush all the way over, and the corpses on the battlefield let them trample through, and under the iron hooves was a pool of blood and flesh.
The Mongol cavalry bypassed in front of Wang Pu's defensive formation, stopped their horses on the flanks, and waited for the formation.
Watching the enemy's cavalry brigade keep approaching, everyone felt nervous.
"Put! Shoot! The soldiers shouted with all their might.
"Boom", "boom", "boom", the sound of the release of the bow and crossbow rang out unevenly.
The crossbow bolts broke through the fog and flew towards the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu who were advancing like a wall.
The huge penetrating force and powerful kinetic energy connected the Tartars who rushed in front like kebabs, but this did not affect their pace in the slightest.
Even if the people were dead and their hands were loose, they were still able to sit on their horses and follow the horse team to continue to charge towards the Ming army.
The white-armored heavy soldiers in front had already crashed into the spears, some of them were pierced by the spears with their men and horses, and some of them broke the spears due to the huge impact force.
Some of the Tartars were not stabbed, so they used their waist knives, iron whips, battle axes and other weapons to slash left and right, and rushed into the depths.
The crossbowmen did not dare to stand still any longer, turned and ran backwards. However, they were immediately stopped by Wang Pu's personal soldiers behind, "Those who retreat, behead!" ”
