Chapter 1022: Divine Fire Flying Crow
~~~~~~
"Governor, the Tartars are up!"
"Governor, the Tartars still have three hundred steps to go from the outpost!"
"Governor, the Tartars still have two hundred and fifty paces left in the outpost......"
In the front, the heralds continued to report the latest battle situation on the front line to Inspector Yuan through the voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In this state, sound is the most direct and effective way to transmit it.
At this time, the entire offensive of the Houjin army was not too majestic, and it was basically based on path-finding and testing, and the speed was not fast.
But even so, at the head of the city, Emperor Chongzhen and all the princes and magnates were already on the verge of raising their throats.
But the main camp of the Guanning army, on the side of Inspector Yuan, is still calm.
He did not rush to give the order, and even less to give the order to open fire. just observed the formation of the Houjin army unhurriedly, as if everything was under control.
"Your Majesty, the Tartars have come up! Ahead, why not fire at the front? Defeat them! ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Your Majesty, the Tartars are about to approach our Ming position. Quickly order the soldiers below to open fire. ”
“………”
Around Emperor Chongzhen, some nobles couldn't hold their breath anymore and made requests one after another.
They really couldn't stand it, these dog tartars were so arrogant in front of the entire Ming court, which directly endangered their safety.
At this time, although Emperor Chongzhen was also extremely nervous, the majesty of the Son of Heaven still forced him to maintain his last composure.
Emperor Chongzhen also understood at this time that these Tartars who came up first were dressed in a variety of ways, and if they didn't sound good, they were like being called flowers.
This is obviously not the elite of the post-Jin army.
What is Huang Taiji trying to do?
"Silence, silence! There is a big man in front of you to command the battle, what are you waiting for? ”
Although he didn't understand it in his heart, when he saw the front, the high-ranking Inspector Yuan was still calm, and Emperor Chongzhen also had a little confidence in his heart, and loudly scolded the nobles around him.
These nobles did not dare to say anything more, so they had to watch the battle ahead with their eyes and eyes.
At this time~, it was almost the same as Inspector Yuan expected.
These armored men and Mongol miscellaneous servants suddenly stopped within 200 steps of pushing to the Ming army's outpost.
They began to dig pits and pile up earth walls under the noses of the entire Ming court and tens of thousands of Ming army soldiers, as if to make more adequate preparations for the next step, the arrival of their main force.
Two hundred paces, with the exception of artillery, is a relatively safe distance.
Bows and arrows can't be shot, birds can't be shot.
Throwing weapons such as javelins and throwing axes are even more impossible to hit.
Although these Tartar minions are so arrogant under the noses of the Ming army, if the artillery does not fire, the Ming army really can't do anything about them.
But this is a war after all, even if you lose the human field, you must not lose the aura!
The soldiers of the Beijing camp couldn't bear it anymore, they carefully hid behind the trenches and earthen walls, and began to curse these dog tartars.
At first, it was only one person and two people, but soon, all the soldiers in the Beijing camp reacted, and began to 'attack it in groups', and the skilled Beijing film was eager to dig out the eighteen generations of Huang Taiji's ancestors from the grave and roll it up.
Many of these armor-clad and Mongol minions can understand Chinese.
Especially the Beijing films in Beijing, the national scolding is too standard, it can be called the quintessence of the country.
These armor-clad and Mongolian people had a temper, and they also began to talk back and curse loudly.
It's a pity that they have few people after all, and how can they be the opponents of these Jingying soldiers? This is the top-secret weapon of the soldiers of the Beijing camp!
Soon, the national scolding already had an overwhelming advantage.
Especially with the emperor behind him, these soldiers of the Beijing camp simply became more and more excited the more they scolded, and the more they scolded, the more energetic they became, and they even completely forgot that this was a battlefield.
Some people even jumped directly onto the earthen wall outside the trench, pinched their waists with one hand, and scolded these Tartars with the other.
But although this behavior was vulgar, it quickly brought up the morale of the entire Ming army.
Looking down from the city, the bright red battle array of the Ming army was ready to move, and it was very excited.
At the head of the city, on the little face that Emperor Chongzhen had been tense, he couldn't help but show a relaxed smile, and muttered: "I'm Daming, it's not that I don't have a good son." Who said that Jingying can't be used? ”
Beside him, Wang Chengen is old and stable after all, and he has already understood some Taoism at this time, and the work of these Tartar minions seems to be ...... It's almost done.
But at this time, it is obviously not the time to pour cold water, Wang Chengen naturally closed his mouth tightly.
In the distance, in the battle formation of the Houjin Army, Abatai, who had already risen up, couldn't help but show a trace of contemptuous smile, and whispered: "These Ming dogs really don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”
Beside Huang Taiji, Haoge's lungs were about to be blown up, and he roared like a wolf: "Khan Ama, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and kill these lowly dogs! ”
Huang Taiji glanced at Haoge.
Haugden was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he also reacted and hurriedly closed his mouth.
After all, it's his own son.
Huang Taiji slowly exhaled and said, "Haoge, what are you anxious about?" This is the Jingshi of the Ming people, is it child's play? If they don't prepare well, how can the warriors get the results? ”
Haoge also understood what Huang Taiji meant at this time, and hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully: "Khan Ama, Erchen understands." ”
Huang Taiji smiled softly: "Haoge, you are brave and unparalleled, this is a good thing." But~, you have to remember that fighting a war is not just about brute force. For example, at this time, the defense line of the Ming army is so tight, if we don't use our brains, how many more warriors' lives will we have to pay? ”
Haoge hurriedly nodded respectfully, but secretly said in his heart: "If you can kill in the city, you must kill all these cheap dog offal!" ”
At this time, seeing that the time was almost up, Huang Taiji waved his hand, "Let's attack the main force." Remember, don't rush, push through slowly! If you see that things are not good, take a step back! ”
"Wow!"
As the order quickly passed through.
In a moment, in the entire Houjin army's large array, the sound of the antlers became more intense and exciting.
Soon, nearly a thousand chariots of all kinds slowly poured out from the formation, and the main force of the Houjin Army, which had about six or seven thousand people with the positive yellow flag, the yellow flag, and the blue flag, slowly pressed towards the outpost battle formation of the Ming army.
The Ming troops in the outpost battle formation also reacted for a moment, and retreated into their respective trenches and bunkers one after another.
These soldiers of the Beijing camp did not dare to hold on anymore, and they hid like rats.
At the head of the city, Emperor Chongzhen's little face, which was originally slightly relaxed, instantly tensed, and he also understood that the real war was about to begin.
In the Guanning army array, the bloodline that Inspector Yuan had been waiting for for so long and was already a little tired began to burn rapidly, and the time for him to prove himself was coming!
The speed of the main force of the Houjin army was not fast, and after a full quarter of an hour, they approached the range of two hundred and fifty steps.
Inspector Yuan's hand, which had been holding the sword, had already begun to tremble.
But he knew that this was not the best time to do it, and that it would be the best time for them to get closer...... A little closer......
At this time, the main force of the Houjin army had been integrated with the previous armor people and Mongolian miscellaneous soldiers, and the entire battle array was close to the scale of 10,000 people.
Standing on the head of the city, looking at it, the flowers are green, and the bright red Ming army in front of him is the little eunuch Xiaodouzi, and the blood in his chest and abdomen can't stop rising!
There was only one word in my mind, "Kill!" ”
In the battle formation of the Houjin army, Abatai, who was in charge of supervising the battle, also came to the back of the earthen wall five hundred steps away from the Ming army's battle array.
He could already see that all kinds of firearms of the Ming army were ready.
But for a moment, the corners of his mouth showed a sneer of contempt, "Let's let these despicable Ming dogs talk for a while." ”
"Order, fifty steps for the first level, slowly advancing, no rash advance. Be sure to attract the firepower of Ming Gouzi! ”
"Wow!"
The order was quickly transmitted to the front through the flag.
The main battle formation of the entire Houjin army began to advance again.
Soon, they were already approaching the tipping point of a hundred steps!
In the battle formation of the Guanning army, Inspector Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted loudly: "Firearms, all fires!" ”
"Yes!"
"Firearms, salvo!"
"Firearms, salvo!"
“………”
One after another, orders and flags were instantly transmitted to the positions of all units of the Ming army.
The soldiers of the Jingying Shenji Battalion, who were in charge of these firearms, had just passed the end of their excitement, and when they heard the order coming, they hesitated for a moment before they reacted, and hurriedly began to ignite the firearms that had been prepared for a long time.
At such a distance, the heavy firearms such as the Lumi Gun, the Three-Eyed Gun, and the Nine-headed Bird, which the Shenji Battalion was proud of, were still a little bit behind.
Seventy or eighty steps is the most suitable distance for them.
Before, Inspector Yuan had also given them a death order, no matter how chaotic the situation was, they had to go seventy or eighty steps before firing.
At this time, Governor Yuan did not let the artillery in the position and the city open fire, he wanted to lure the enemy deeper, and it was more likely to kill and injure the Tartars.
The first line of defense of the Ming army with firearms is the legendary 'Divine Fire Flying Crow'!
The so-called Divine Fire Flying Crow is a kind of bird-like firecracker made by craftsmen based on crows and birds.
It is somewhat similar to the 'Drill Monkey' in later generations, the main material is bamboo or reed poles, however, the Divine Fire Crow has two 'boosters', that is, there are two bamboo tubes, both filled with gunpowder.
One is responsible for boosting and advancing, and the other is responsible for exploding.
The range of the Divine Fire Raven can reach three hundred paces or even more.
However, due to the lack of standard and precise tuning, its accuracy is not complimentary.
But Inspector Yuan had already prepared.
After the Divine Fire Crow, there is also a row of 'Sky Shaking Cannons'.
The Sky Quake Cannon is also an inherent firearm of the Ming Army, however, the Sky Quake Cannon is not as gorgeous as the effect of the Divine Fire Crow, and the range is closer, it is a pure broken rocket, the lethality is not bad, but it is difficult for people to kill directly.
Soon, as one by one the hyacinths were ignited, 'Xiu Xiu Xiu', like the grandest fireworks in full bloom, row by row, layer upon layer, there were hundreds, like burning flying crows, unknown objects, quickly leaping out of the battle formation of the Ming army, straight to the formation of the main force of the Houjin.
Woohoo!
Syllable!
Bang Bang Bang!
It's like a grand fireworks ball.
Some of the Divine Fire Flying Crows burst directly above the heads of the Houjin Army's battle array, some directly hit the Houjin Army's chariot and burst open, and some just flew out of the Ming Army's battle formation a few steps before they burst out of control.
For a time, the whole world was chaotic, and fires appeared.
It's a pity that the Divine Fire Crow is really good-looking, but its power and accuracy are really flattering.
However, the psychological deterrence caused to people should not be underestimated.
At least, at the head of the city, Emperor Chongzhen and a group of bigwigs and nobles were already a little dumbfounded.
In a moment, as soon as they reacted, the graceful sound of sycophants instantly surrounded Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen also had a lot of confidence in his heart at this time.
Da Ming has such a might, how can the dog tartar come over?
