Chapter 670: Short Soldiers
When Cao Zhenyan was sluggish, a throwing gun flew at him again, but fortunately, Li Mingli pulled him over and pressed him to the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Next, the flying axe and the short sword throwing spear seemed to never stop projecting, and the sharp axe fell on the side of Cao Zhenyan's face several times, and a long spark was rubbed on the hard mountain and rocky ground, Cao Zhenyan's whole body trembled, and then he realized that what he did was really a fatal deed, and it was no wonder that the boss would promise a future, and it was really a matter of life and death.
When he was questioned, Cao Zhenyan was still ignorant, but fortunately Li Mingli kicked him, Cao Zhenyan came to his senses and replied: "Back to the master, the slave doesn't know, every time he goes up, he is on the edge of the slope, and he has never gone deep, Bi Mazi said that it is not safe to go deep, and he is afraid of being seen by the guards of the rest of the departments......"
"Useless waste." He glanced at the young Han Jun with contemptuous eyes, and he could see that Cao Zhenyan was frightened, and he could not provide any useful information.
Fortunately, under the cover of the bow and arrow, Hou Jinqian steadily moved forward, and at this time the people on the opposite side were also seen clearly, the two armies seemed to be the same, both spears and halberds were covered by swords, and the soldiers of the Thirteen Mountains on the opposite side were also wearing heavy armor, and the outer layer of iron armor was also bulging inside, obviously wearing multiple armors, such heavy armor was on the body, and the damage of the bow and arrow was indeed very small, almost negligible.
He raised his hand, and Niu Lu Zhen behind him shouted, and the cotton armor soldiers put away their bows and arrows, picked up their weapons, and prepared to engage the enemy.
Except in special circumstances, the Houjin will fill in the lives of the Han army or the clothed people, otherwise, under normal circumstances, the armored soldiers are in front, and the ordinary armored soldiers or bannermen are behind, and the heavy-armored elite breaks the formation, followed by the ordinary cotton armor soldiers or bannermen, they will expand the results of the battle and chase and kill the defeated and fleeing enemy soldiers.
Before the hand-to-hand combat began, the atmosphere became very tense, people's breathing became heavy, everyone knew that it was a very grand scene, intense, impassioned, flesh and blood, brute force collision and extraordinary skill are indispensable, coupled with solid armor, but also have a very strong luck, the destiny of the underworld...... No one can guarantee that they will survive hand-to-hand combat or be unscathed, and by providence, no one is safe.
After the outbreak of hand-to-hand combat, the scene is difficult to control, even a huge battlefield general of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can not do much, because after the battle, the formation is difficult to adjust, a small fine-tuning may cause the confidence of the soldiers to collapse, and the entire front will be chaotic, and in white-knuckle combat, regardless of the scale, it is most important to always maintain the array.
What makes me really nervous is that the array on the opposite side is also maintained quite well, and this gang has taken advantage after the raid, and now the array is neat and condescending.
"Kill it, break its array."
The forehead really screamed, all the white, red, and cotton armor roared in unison, and the spears and broadswords in the first row stretched out in unison, and at this time they were only fifty paces apart, and the impact at this short distance would no longer confuse the array.
"Hit!"
At this time, there was also a shout on the other side, and he could really understand simple Chinese, and he felt a little bad in his heart.
People first heard the sound, and then saw the fire burst out in front of the array on the opposite side, from a little light on the far left, and then to the far right, all the light lit up, and turned into a unique spectacle in the dark night sky, which was extremely gorgeous!
There are more than 100 firearms, and they are released in turn in an instant!
"It's a firebolt, a useless thing for a barbarian."
Seeing that it was a firecracker, he was really relieved, he was experienced in a hundred battles, in the early years of the expedition to the four parts of the Haixi Dynasty, the Hada Department that was deeply influenced by the Ming army had a lot of firearms, all of which were secretly bought from the Ming army over the years, but those firearms were not used to the top, far less powerful than the Jurchens used to use the foot bow, the range was not as far as the foot bow, the penetration was not as large as the foot bow, only at a very close distance to play and release some effect, but if you wear cotton armor, the effect of the fire gun will be offset a lot.
The trouble is the complications after being abrased by the fire gun projectile, and it is difficult to treat people after they have a fever, but that is not common.
The Jurchens were not afraid of firearms, and there was a distance of about fifty paces, although this distance was a little close, it was not the ideal distance for the Ming army to kill and wound them.
The projectile flew in the air, making a buzzing sound, and suddenly someone was shot, and the projectile that flew at high speed penetrated the iron armor, tore through the cotton armor, penetrated the skin, smashed the bones, and penetrated deep into the internal organs, and the person who was hit seemed to be hit by a giant hammer, his chest was dented, and a hole in the mouth of the bowl was broken under the huge kinetic energy, and the person screamed on the ground, looking at the wound on his chest in disbelief, but the wounded person only struggled for a short time before he died, and there were no screams.
More people were shot, screams came one after another, some people were shot in the head, the whole head was torn, red blood and white brains burst out together, some people were shot in the abdomen, some people were shot in the chest, some people were shot in the arms or legs, they were not lucky, because they were hit at such a close distance, the arms and legs were broken, the bones were broken into pieces, even if they were lucky, they had to amputate their limbs, and they became disabled, and more likely to say that it was a complication caused by wound infection, In the end, they had to die in excruciating pain, rather than being killed on the spot.
His eyes were really as wide as bull's eyes, and he could never imagine why the power of the fire guns here in the Thirteen Mountains was so great, so big that it was unimaginable for him.
Cao Zhenyan and the other Han soldiers hid on their waists, they were extremely lucky to avoid this round of firecrackers, looking at the hellish scene in front of them, all the Han soldiers were shocked into a cold sweat, and Cao Zhenyan trembled all over.
Li Mingli was also surprised, and even suppressed his fear. It's not that he hasn't seen war, but under such a moonlight, seeing the firelight in front of him, the Jurchen armor soldiers around him were beaten so miserably, and at least fifty or sixty people fell after the first round of gunfire, which was really unprecedented, and the impact on Li Mingli was incomparably greater, and at this moment he even thought about why the firearms of the Ming army during the Battle of Salhu were far less powerful than they are now? There are more than 20,000 people in Juniper's department, and there are at least more than 3,000 guns, and the results achieved are far less than in front of them!
There was a rustling of footsteps not far away, and you could see that the armor soldiers on the opposite side had discarded the firecrackers in their hands, this kind of extremely powerful, and the extremely lethal firecrackers that were released seemed to be only the last blow before their impact, and they were already within fifty paces when they were just released, and they might face a strong assault from the Houjin soldiers when they reloaded, so the shooters simply threw away the firearms, even if they were on the hostile side, when Li Mingli saw the firecrackers discarded all over the ground, he still felt a pain in his flesh.
"Drink!"
Everyone knew that the moment had finally arrived, and the morale of the Houjin soldiers had already experienced two rounds of blows, but the long-term victory over the Han people made their morale far from reaching the point of collapse.
On the narrow hillside, a crowd of less than 400 armored soldiers finally collided together.
Because the battlefield is not large, the crowd seems to be densely packed together, the long soldiers on both sides are the first time to hold the weapons in their hands diagonally forward, and no one tries to stab at the first time, both sides are very experienced veterans, not as flustered as the recruits, see people do not count the distance is the first to stab, the move is too old to stab the enemy, waste the opportunity in vain.
However, the confrontation was not long, the battlefield was too small, the people behind were pouring up, and the people in front were forced to continue to move forward, and the distance between each other was kept from ten to five steps, and finally reached the limit, and the long soldiers on both sides were the first to shoot!
Most of He Yusheng's armor soldiers wear iron scale armor or piercing armor, and a small number of officers wear more expensive cuirass, Ren Mu is one of them, a sergeant major like him is qualified to wear a cuirass, and the bright cuirass is very eye-catching on such a battlefield, at the moment of attack, two white-armored soldiers wearing bright silver armor One held a spear and stabbed at Ren Mu, and the other rubbed his body forward, the shield in his left hand was raised diagonally, and his right hand slashed at Ren Mu's leg with a single knife.
Ren Mu snorted coldly, his body retreated, a shot blocked the opponent's spurt, both spears were shocked, and the white armor that waved a single knife did not make a contribution, the long knife was still a few inches away from Ren Mu's legs, he had to roll in place, at this time, the two spears of the Yusheng infantry stabbed at the shield of this white armor, the white armor did not have a hard frame, the shield swung obliquely, and the spear head swung out, when he rolled, another spear stabbed behind him, the white armor strength was lost, fortunately, the distance was enough, and the spearman slashed behind his legs, The sharp tip of the spear cut through the hem of the robe and trousers, and blood came out of the spear.
Both sides were surprised and could not accept such an outcome.
The two white armors cooperated, not only did they not be able to kill Ren Mu, but they suffered a small loss, and Ren Mu was even more surprised, his marksmanship was the best among the sergeant majors of He Yusheng, otherwise he would not be able to become an instructor, but he himself plus three pikemen, and the four of them did not keep a single white armor, only causing the other party to suffer a little minor injury.
The entire front was almost like this, and in the first formal battle with Yusheng and Houjin, each side felt the strength of the other!
He Yusheng fought with the North for a year, whether it was a cavalry battle or an infantry battle, or a garrison fort, the combat effectiveness of the North Lu in the eyes of the soldiers and Yusheng was very weak, and there was even a judgment in the army that an ironclad cavalry was enough to defeat five North Captives, and a team of infantry composed of Yusheng infantry was enough to face the enemy of 100 people in the North Captive, which may not be the case, but the results were similar to the rumors in the army.
On the side of the Thirteen Mountains, the Beiyu has been attacking the mountain with the Han army and the Han people who have plundered it, and the soldiers on the mountain and Yusheng just feel that the archery skills of the Dongyu are not inferior to the Beiyu, and the quality of the bow and arrow is far above the weak bow of the Beiyu, in addition to that, it feels that the Dongyu has a lot of money, and the number of armor soldiers in the Beiyu is very small, and the armor is mostly dilapidated, unlike the Jianzhou Jurchen side has a large number of armor soldiers, and the armor is mostly bright as new.
