Chapter 214: God of War (I)

Since Huang Taiji gave up such a good opportunity, Yang Tingjian planned to let Jiannu experience the "God of War...... artillery".

The drumming of "dong dong" came to an abrupt halt amid the shouts of "one, two, three, four", and the phalanx of the tiger army stopped eight hundred meters before the glaive formation of Jiannu.

"Halberd, spear."

The first-line halberd soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army's formation immediately poked the halberd in their hands on the ground, and the halberd pointed obliquely at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.

The long-range strike weapons of the Tiger Ben Army had not yet been installed in place, and the artillery men in the various formations, under the command of the commander, quickly took the artillery off the back of the four-wheeled carriage and began to set up gun emplacements.

The Shenwei artillery comes with two wheels and a support frame, the terrain in this area is relatively flat, there is no need to trim the ground, you can directly unfold it, and the installation of three hundred and four Shenwei artillery pieces can be completed in five or six minutes.

Huang Taiji has been using monoculars to observe the Tiger Army, the cannons of the Tiger Army were dragged behind the four-wheeled carriage, Huang Taiji did not see it at all, Huang Taiji has always thought that the four-wheeled carriage in the Tiger Ben military formation is the side carriage often used by the Ming army.

During the battle of the Hunhe River, Huang Taiji's father, Emperor Nurhachi, took him to attack the Qi army's partial van formation, and more than 3,000 Qi family troops took the partial van as a formation to block 60,000 Jiannu in a bloody battle for three days and three nights, and Jiannu annihilated this army, and Jiannu also paid more than 5,000 casualties.

This is also the reason why Huang Taiji did not take the initiative to attack in the end, and he was also worried that these Ming troops would put up a partial car formation. Huang Taiji is waiting for the Tiger Ben Army to take the initiative to attack, once this army takes the initiative to attack, these Ming troops will not be able to use the partial car formation. When Huang Taiji found out that hundreds of cannons were actually dragging behind these four-wheeled carriages, he immediately exclaimed in his heart:

"Damn Minggou, it's really insidious...... Ao Bai. You take 5,000 men to attack the left flank of Ming Gou, Sony, you take 5,000 men to attack the right flank of the Ming army, Sukh Saha, you take 5,000 men to raid the bottom, and I personally lead 15,000 warriors to assault head-on......"

"Your Majesty, look at it...... Those bright dogs have a lot of cannons. ”

"I know, quick, organize the soldiers and horses. Immediately assault the whole army...... These bright dogs want to bombard us with cannons. ”

Several generals under Huang Taiji also saw clearly the cannons of the Tiger Ben Army a few hundred meters away, this is not a few cannons, but hundreds, and countless artillery of the Tiger Ben Army are busy installing cannons, if they let the Tiger Ben Army bombard their formation.

Even the elite Jiannu will be bombarded by these cannons with heavy casualties, and their formations don't want to remain intact under the bombardment of so many cannons. Collapse is certain, and then it is pursued by the cavalry of the people.

Several important generals under Huang Taiji received the order, and immediately rushed back to their own formation, conveying the order to prepare for the attack, fortunately, Jiannu's cavalry was more numerous, and more elite, and their mobilization speed was very fast.

After Ao Bai quickly ran back to his main formation, he immediately asked his soldiers to shout in unison:

"The whole army assaulted the left flank of Minggou...... Fast...... Fast...... Sortie. ”

Ao Baike is a hot-tempered person. Personal martial arts are even more remarkable, as the saying goes: the art master is bold. Ao Bai is this kind of person. After galloping back to his own position, he did not stop at all, and immediately rushed out first, while his own soldiers shouted loudly the order to assault the whole army.

Aobai's subordinates were indeed elite, and the three thousand cavalrymen with two armor stabs immediately rushed out after Aobai, and the remaining two thousand infantry also followed and charged. Aobai's troops were dispatched at the fastest speed. But their formation is very scattered.

Are Aobai's subordinates a rabble? Big mistake, their cavalry galloped and formed a whole team, and there was no need for anyone to command it at all, every Jiannu consciously looked for a suitable combat position, and the same was true for the charging infantry.

Not a taste of the charging army. It is impossible to have such a su zhì, such a charging array, which has been tempered in countless battles. Yang Tingjian saw the cousin of Aobai's subordinates, and couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"It's really no accident that Li Zicheng and the Ming army can't defeat Jiannu, just with Jiannu's elite Cheng Dù, they are by no means Jiannu's opponents."

More than 300 cannons were originally aimed at the Tartars in the front, but the Tartars suddenly began to attack from all sides, and the artillery had to divide the more than 300 cannons into four directions, about 75 guns in each direction.

The seventy-five artillery pieces facing the Jiannu Glaive Formation have been prepared in place, and they immediately began to bombard, and the Jiannu Formation in front of them is the Chinese army of Huang Taiji, and they are also preparing for a surprise attack of the whole army, but they have not yet launched a charge.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

More than seventy Shenwei artillery pieces suddenly began to fire in a salvo, and the sound was like a deafening explosion in the sky, and this huge sound made everyone's ears produce a "buzzing" flute sound.

The muzzles of more than 70 Shenwei artillery pieces "banged", and a huge white smoke of gunpowder was spewed, and the pig iron projectile with a diameter of 120 millimeters weighed 14 catties, roaring towards the Jiannu main formation 800 meters away.

The firing range of the Shenwei artillery is more than 2,000 meters, and the best firing distance is within a kilometer, because the projectile loses less kinetic energy, so the pig iron projectile bounces at a long distance.

Yang Tingjian had already experienced the power of the Shenwei artillery in Shanghuyukou, shooting at the enemy within a kilometer, the bounce distance of the pig iron projectile was at least 200 meters away, that was next to death, rubbing to death, at least a lack of arms and legs.

More than 70 7-kilogram pig iron projectiles smashed into Huang Taiji's Chinese army, and the pig iron projectiles that landed on the ground first made a "boom" sound, and then flew backwards with a visible afterimage.

The first Jiannu was directly smashed into meat sauce, and the back was hit by a ricochet and immediately died Huangquan, these people didn't even have time to shout for their mothers, only those Jiannu who were rubbed by pig iron projectiles in the non-lethal parts were missing arms and legs, and they could make a terrible scream.

A pig iron projectile is a blood groove, this blood groove is at least two hundred meters long, and the irregular line where the pig iron projectile bounces is full of the corpses of Jiannu people and horses, as well as the Jiannu who is missing arms and legs There are ghosts crying wolves.

Huang Taiji's formation is relatively dense, the bounce distance of two hundred meters, not to mention twenty or thirty Jiannu were killed, more than a dozen Jiannu were disabled for life, this salvo is more than 70 shells, Huang Taiji's Chinese army just endured this salvo, and lost more than 1,000 elite soldiers of the two yellow flags.

Huang Taiji's eyes were red, and at this time, he was like a gambler with red eyes, waving the golden waist knife in his hand, and ordered in a hissing voice:

"All-Army Assault...... Fast...... Minggou's cannon can't be allowed to fire a second round to rush into their formation...... Retreat Kills ...... Overseer team on ...... On ......"
