Chapter 413: I Don't Believe It, the Cannon Can't Knock You Away!

The psychological pressure on the officers and men of the Ming Dynasty is also increasing. When the infantry encounters a cavalry assault, the psychological pressure is always very high. Under the organization of their respective commanders, they formed battle formations and prepared to respond to the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry. Spears of all colors and fiery knives are all ready to fight. As soon as the enemy's cavalry rushes up, they must first collide with their spear array.

Soon there were cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army all over the week. They were either in groups of ten or five, forming a dense battle line. However, they did not seem to have any intention of attacking the Ming army. Instead, they lined up in a line, then all dismounted and raised their fires towards the Ming ranks.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out, and they were immediately enveloped in a cloud of white smoke.

Mini's bullets whizzed over and hit the middle of the Ming army. In the ranks of the Ming army, someone suddenly fell. Blood splattered and screamed.

The distance between the two sides was actually less than four feet, and the ranks of the Ming army were very dense, and they suffered such intensive shooting, so the casualties were naturally very heavy.

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

Zhu Dadian was anxious and angry, and hurriedly ordered the troops to attack.

Zhu Han's cavalry battalion had to attack again.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army fired another burst of gunfire, and then turned and ran.

Zhu Han's cavalry battalion is not chasing, and it is not chasing it, it is really embarrassing. After catching up, it is very likely that he fell into the situation of being besieged before, and was finally broken by the cavalry of the Tiger Army, and all the war horses were snatched away. But if you don't chase it, the cavalry of the Tiger Army will most likely make a comeback. The opponent's fire prosper has a long range and great power, and they can only be beaten passively.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Zhu Dadian saw his nephew hesitating and hurriedly shouted.

There were still a few hundred cavalry left, and he was reluctant to waste them.

Zhu Han then ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The cavalry battalion slowly retreated, disengaged from contact with the cavalry of the Tiger Army. As a result, the cavalry of the Tiger Army caught up again. Still at a distance of forty zhang, he kept shooting at the Ming army. They were so unscrupulous that they were like no one, and they didn't pay attention to the 40,000 Ming troops in front of them at all.

The Ming army had no choice but to raise their shields to resist. These heavy shields, all made of cast iron, were at least a finger thick, and they were indeed very effective against bullets and arrows. Mini struck the shield, leaving only a white dot and completely non-lethal. However, there is a problem, when these heavy shields are raised, the large army of the Ming army can only stay in the delivery and cannot move.

Zhu Dadian was angry and angry, and ordered the losses to be counted. As a result, I don't know if I don't count, and I am shocked when I count it. The indiscriminate shooting of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army just now actually killed and wounded more than 300 people.

"How is that possible?"

"How is that possible?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhu Dadian muttered to himself in shock.

The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army only shot two rounds. Just two rounds of firing cost the officers and men three hundred. If the thieves kept shooting, wouldn't they have suffered more casualties? On the way, we have to go to Qingzhou City... Zhu Dadian didn't dare to think about it.

Because Zhu Dadian ranked the most unpleasant guards in the outermost layer, it was these guards who suffered the main casualties. Fortunately, it was a dispensable guard, all of them were dead, and Zhu Dadian would not frown. If it is a soldier, Zhu Dadian will have heartache again.

However, even for the guards, such casualty figures are very impressive. His troops could not afford such casualties. The casualty ratio that the average soldier can bear is about 20 or 30 percent. Even if it is his own soldiers, the casualties that can be sustained, that is, thirty or forty percent. If it is more than fifty percent, it will all collapse. His cavalry battalion has actually lost its combat effectiveness.

Even now, the Ming army raised its shield to block, and there were still casualties. The fire of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army is really powerful, as if these thick shields are a little unstoppable. Due to the large casualties, the guards outside the team have already appeared in chaos. Fortunately, the soldiers inside were able to suppress the bullets, so they did not cause a big riot.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Now the Ming army can only be beaten passively, and the cavalry of the Tiger Army shoot even more unscrupulously.

The shield of the Ming army, after all, could not block all the mini bullets. The lethality of Mini bullets is much more powerful than that of bows and arrows. The only thing that falls short is penetration. With such a thick pig iron shield, Mini bullets really can't penetrate it. The buckshot hit the pig iron shield and immediately deformed. However, it doesn't matter, as long as you pass through the gap, the Ming army behind the gap will inevitably fall to the ground screaming.

The shields of the Ming army were not dense enough to block all the Ming troops. A considerable number of Ming troops actually did not have the effective protection of shields. Therefore, those Tiger Ben soldiers with better marksmanship all aimed at places without shields. Some of the cavalry of the Tiger Army even ran to a place less than 30 zhang away from the Ming army's large contingent and fired again. Such actions are simply unscrupulous, and no one is in sight.

However, the fire of the Ming army crackled, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the gunfire was dense and continuous, but in fact there was no effect. Because, the arquebuses they use can't hit that far at all. So, the two sides went back and forth, constantly firing, but only the Ming army fell. Faced with such a passive beating, Zhu Dadian wanted to die.

Some of the Ming troops really couldn't stand such a blow, so they simply went out and tried to rush up and fight hand-to-hand with the Tiger Ben army. As a result, their figures, as soon as they came out from behind the shields, were killed by a dense rain of bullets. Even the bravest of men were beaten to the ground covered in blood and fell to the ground. In this way, other Ming troops no longer have the courage to come up and fight hand-to-hand.

"Don't attack!"

"Defend in formation!"

"Set up the cannon!"

Finally, Zhu Dadian shouted angrily.

Just now, the Ming army was still in a state of marching money, and the cannons were still on the carriage and had not been folded off. The cannon is on the carriage, of course, it is impossible to shoot *.

Now, Zhu Dadian can't take care of it. He wanted to use heavy artillery fire to pay tribute to the fire of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army. I don't believe it, the cannon can't take you away! If you have the ability, you should not leave there!

"Heart, the enemy has set up a cannon!"

Zhong Wuying held up the clairvoyant mirror and shouted coldly.

The Ming army's action of erecting cannons, of course, could not hide their clairvoyant mirrors.

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat beyond the range of the artillery!"

Zhong Wuying quickly conveyed the order, and at the same time, he quickly turned on his horse and turned away.

In front of the cannon, the power of the tiger is still a little weak. The grape bullets fired by the cannons of the Franc machine can hit about 100 zhang. This is a big killer for cavalry. If they continue to stay here, they will definitely be beaten by the Portuguese bullets. They don't want to be idiots.

At the sound of an order, the surrounding Huben cavalry retreated one after another. It took a long time for the Ming army to set up artillery. When their cannons were erected, the surrounding Huben cavalry had all retreated.

"Bullet!"

"Fire!"

Zhu Dadian shouted fiercely.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

A deafening cannon roar rang out

Zhu Dadian carried a full thirty cannons and fired together.

Pieces of submunitions were fired in all directions. Where the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army haunted just now, bursts of bullets rained. The marbles kept falling, smashing up puffs of dust. However, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army has long been gone. So, these dense marbles have no effect. The artillery continued to bombard, continuing to prevent the Tiger Army cavalry from approaching.

Amid the rumbling cannons, the Tiger Warriors never appeared again. It seems that the cannon really drove away the cavalry of the Tiger Army. Around the Ming army, there were no more cavalry members of the Tiger Army. However, Zhu Dadian knew very well that there must be someone lurking around the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, carefully observing their movements. When given the chance, they will still show up.

There was artillery fire, and the cavalry of the Tiger Army definitely did not dare to approach. As long as there is the protection of artillery, the Ming army is safe. However, he couldn't keep the cannon firing all the time! When the cannon is fired, it cannot be transported. If you can't carry it, you can't reach Qingzhou City. If you can't reach Qingzhou City, you will naturally not be able to recover Qingzhou City.

For a time, Zhu Dadian's head was as big as a fight.

This Zhang Zhun, can you not be so vicious?

Knowing that Zhang Zhun was using fatigue tactics and constantly harassing himself, Zhu Dadian just had no way to crack it. The firing range of the Tiger Ben Arms Command is too far, and the Ming army can only counterattack the other side with artillery, and any other troops will be a dead end if they rush up. The only thing he could rely on now was artillery. However, the other party is all cavalry, extremely fast, now it is not right, immediately flee away, and the bombardment of artillery has no substantial effect. Hell, this is not a cavalry at all, this is a pack of hungry wolves!

"Set up camp!"

"Stay overnight!"

There was no way, Zhu Dadian helplessly conveyed the order.

Before he could come up with a better way, he had to slowly consume it with Zhang Zhun. Fortunately, even if he had a certain number of casualties, he still had 40,000 officers and soldiers. The army of 40,000, even if Zhang Zhun was beheaded while standing, would have to be cut off for a long time. With the protection of artillery, it is safe to be stationed for the time being.

The officers and men then set up camp on the spot, deployed defenses, and prepared to spend the night. In order to prevent the sneak attack of the cavalry of the Tiger Army, all the cannons are in a state of being ready to shoot at any time. All the cannons are loaded with powerful submunitions.

Until nightfall, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army never appeared again. Zhu Han, Shao Jinguang, Meng Xiangjun and others were all slightly relieved. Only Zhu Dadian's face was pale, because he suddenly appeared that he was less than thirty miles away from the east gate of Jinan City. Jinan City to Qingzhou City is 300 miles, and he has only walked less than 30 miles in one day...... What's going on!
