Chapter 329: Linghe's Great Victory, the World Shakes (Medium)
Generally, thousands are used to describe the large number of people, and Xiao Yi didn't feel anything at all, and this word naturally sounded easier than seeing it with his own eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because there are more than 100 people on the battlefield, especially in this kind of large array, it is not enough to mention, like a drop of sea water in the sea, which is not conspicuous at all.
But now that time has passed, Xiao Yi has gone through a lot of big battles, especially this time, before and after, the two armies add up to nearly 100,000 people.
Whether it's a rabble or an elite division, at least it looks spectacular.
If you don't climb to the height, ordinary people see thousands of people rushing towards them, it is a black oppression, even young people should be startled, thinking carefully about whether to fight or flee.
Like now, the thousands of Tatar Han troops roaring and rushing up in front of him, and the more than 10,000 Jurchen cavalry slowly advancing, even now Xiao Ye stood on the car and looked into the distance, it looked like a sea of black and red.
Looking behind him, although the armor of the Ming army was not as neat as that of the Tartars, more than 10,000 men and horses stood together, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.
Now that I think about it, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of officers and soldiers would encounter thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of displaced people who would kill them, and they would definitely be frightened.
Then there will be any thoughts of resistance, and it is inevitable that they will not dare to defend the city.
Even with the current Yong'an Army, hundreds of people meet thousands or tens of thousands of displaced people, no matter how they fight, it will be a loss, even if they can fight with one against ten, so what can they do?
Not to mention the rabble guards of the guards, the thieves attacked the city all the way, and it was reasonable that the official army was defeated.
Xiao also thought that when he returned to Ulzhou, it was time to set up a Yong'an Army drill code and send officers to achieve the effect of training recruits in batches.
However, these generals are not ambiguous when they go into battle, but almost all of them don't recognize a single big character, and there are many drill codes and decorations, which is a headache.
Seeing that the 'cannon fodder' in front had rushed to about a few hundred steps away, Xiao Yi stood on the car, Qi Jiadao pointed forward, and shouted: "Artillery fire!" ”
…
After the order is given, the superiority and inferiority can still be immediately reflected, and the same preparation time.
At the same time as Xiao Yi's order, the artillery men of the Yong'an Army had already violently pushed the shotgun into the cannon body, and when Xiao Yi's voice fell, the shotgun had already been pushed out with the sound.
On the other hand, the rest of the Ming artillerymen, with the same preparation time and orders, they were lazy by nature because they had not practiced and used them for many years.
By the time the Yong'an Army's gunners were already preparing for the second round of fire, a few of them were able to shoot the first shot, and some of them were so nervous that they forgot to replace their lead bullets with shotguns.
However, for these, Xiao Yi is also powerless, and the time given to him is too short, so that these people can obey the order in a unified manner, and they have already reached the limit without escaping, and it is impossible to let them do the same as the soldiers of the Yongan Army who have been in battle for a long time.
"Boom!"
When the attack was being made, there was a sudden continuous sound of artillery from the Ming army's position, and there was no surprise between the Tatar Han army in the impact and the Jurchen cavalry watching the battle and waiting for the opportunity to attack.
Of course, there is no fear at all, and they are still rushing forward without fear of death, isn't it the same every time they fight, and the Ming army doesn't always want to push out these useless things and use them as decorations.
The Tartar cavalry was already sharpening their knives and ready to charge.
When the first batch of Yong'an Army shotguns exploded, countless projectiles fell in the plains, although most of them hit the Tartar Han army, but in Xiao Yi's opinion, the effect was still not obvious.
At this time, the second round of artillery mixed with the rest of the Ming army came one after another, although many of them missed, but the number of artillery of the Ming army made up for this very well.
Seeing that a large area of the Tartar Han army in front of him was immediately vacant, Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, it seems that under the premise of quality, quantity is also the key to victory, and it is at this time.
A few small copper cannons not far behind him suddenly exploded, killing several Ming gunners and sergeants.
It turned out that due to improper operation, it was not used for a long time, and the gunner forgot to water it to remove the temperature, and the continuous fire led to the explosion of the chamber.
The surrounding Ming troops fled in panic, which also caused a small open space to immediately appear nearby, and a small riot broke out.
However, the chaos behind the Ming army can not be seen, they can only see the Yong'an army shield array that is still motionless, if they see it, I am afraid that they will attack the whole line a long time ago.
At the signal of Sun Chengzong and Meng Xiping, their standard camp sergeants stepped forward angrily, and the elite standard camp sergeants quickly contained this small commotion.
These are all within Xiao Yi's expectations, and Xiao Yi also trusts Sun Chengzong and Meng Xiping, so when he heard the sound, Xiao Yi didn't care at all, just glanced at Meng Xiping on the left, and made a move.
shouted: "Set up a horse rejection, sprinkle horse foot nails!" ”
The spearmen of the Yong'an Army in the last row put the tiger spear in their hands on the ground, trotted, and flexibly sprang out of the shield array, first scattering some small things into the distance, and spread them on the ground shining.
Immediately after that, he turned back into the formation, and the pikemen of the penultimate two or three rows followed, stepped forward one after another, and quickly inserted the standard spear he was carrying into the back of the horse's foot nail about a step away.
Simply set up two layers of front defense, which will help the shield array to resist the onslaught of the Tartar cavalry, and it is unrealistic to rely on the shield array to meet the attack.
When all the pikemen were in position, the Tartar cavalry began to charge with all their strength, and they were still a few hundred paces away from the formation, but this was not very far, and once they were charged, it was only a matter of moments.
But the Tartar Han army had already rushed to within 100 steps, and at this time, without Xiao Yi's order, Liu Tong, who was quick-eyed, shouted fiercely.
"Put!"
The sound of fried beans sounded, these are the birds of the Yongan Army, after the birds of the Yongan Army put the guns, it is equivalent to giving an invisible military order to the Ming army behind them.
They are undisciplined and numb, but they are not fools.
Hearing the Yong'an soldiers in front of them, they naturally knew that it was time to shoot, and they all aimed at the front to let go of their breath, and due to the number of people, the momentum was quite sufficient.
Of course, after the release of the guns, there was always the sound of explosions and the panicked shouts of the Ming army behind their own formations, which was also unavoidable, but these were blocked by the dense banners and Yong'an army soldiers.
Whenever this happens, in order to prevent these people from affecting the formation of the Yong'an Army soldiers in front, not only Meng Xiping will lead his own standard battalion and family members to maintain order.
When it is serious, Sun Chengzong will personally lead the superintendent battalion to maintain it in the army, just so that Xiao Yi can give full play.
It is also because the soldiers of the Yong'an Army in front of the formation are still waiting for them, and none of them have fled, and the Ming army behind them does not know what is going on in front of them, and they can't see the black Tartars rushing over, so few people escape.
Against the Jurchens, few people have escaped until now, which is already incredible in the eyes of the rest of the Ming generals.
The artillery guns in the Ming army were fired in unison, and the Yongan army naturally still used the usual three-stage attack tactics, as for the other Ming army artillery gunners.
Xiao Yi is powerless, he can't manage so much, as long as he can beat the Tartar out of casualties and not rout, then it is already earned.
After paying a heavy price for casualties, the Tartar Han army, which was the first to attack, finally rushed to the front of the shield array of the Yongan army.
Although they were all panting like cows, there were many people with wounds or stains on their own blood.
But they are all extremely excited, as long as the Jurchen cavalry behind them rushes here, looking at the Ming army in front of them, they will definitely be defeated again.
At that time, it will be time to reap your own military merits, prove your value to your master, and ask for rewards!
Thinking that after the victory, the master would reward his beauties, gold and silver, and even Zhuangzi, these Ahabs were even more excited, looking at the sergeants of the Yong'an Army, as if they were all looking at Jinshan.
The first few rows of Tartar Han troops rushed to the front, and when they saw that they were about to meet each other, they suddenly felt a sharp pain under their feet, and they couldn't take a step anymore, and a miserable howl came.
Looking around and listening, there are many people like me, but fortunately, I only have a sharp pain in one foot, and many people have stepped on both feet, looking like they are in pain.
The person who was stabbed immediately jumped back a few steps, and under the severe pain, he was still fighting no matter what he was, and he had to check it as soon as he sat on the ground.
But I saw that the soles of their feet were inserted into a dense number of hardwood spikes, and a piece of flesh and blood was blurred, so I had to pull them off one by one, and each time I pulled out one of them, I grinned with bared teeth and severe pain.
The nails are very finely made, and the hardwood is wrapped in a layer of copper, so that they are not easily corroded without affecting sharpness.
Those who stepped on the nails all bared their teeth and wailed backwards, and those who did not step on them rejoiced and immediately stopped, at a loss for what to do at a distance of five or six steps in front of the Yong'an Army's shield array, and did not know whether to continue to rush.
Seeing these live targets in front of him, how could the bird of the Yong'an Army let go of such a wonderful opportunity, after hearing the order of Liu Tong, the commander of the Yong'an Army, the commanders of the armor hurriedly gave the order.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Just a few steps away, at such a distance, it was easy to hit these Tartar Han Army, and the Yongan Army's bird gunners saved a lot of aiming effort, and the launch was naturally fast and accurate.
In addition, I have the desire to make meritorious contributions in my heart, and I want to return to Ulzhou so that my wife and family can show off in the neighborhood, and many steps to change lead bullet are subconsciously completed.
As a result, the Yongan Army's bird gunners took less than 40 seconds to wait for the shot from the time they fired the lead bullet to the time they waited for the shot.
And the three-stage attack of the Yong'an Army, the interval between the two rounds of shooting by the bird gunner, the fastest is only less than three seconds, which if the current Jingying sergeant of the Shenji Battalion hears it, I am afraid that it will be shocked.
You must know that even the Shenji Battalion, in the entire Ming Dynasty, the fastest record such as replacing lead bullets was only more than 30 seconds, and the Yongan Army's bird gunners were almost the same as them.
