Chapter 6: The Tartars Retreat!
After Lai Hongda saw the situation of the car formation clearly, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes. The Ming army www.biquge.info relied on a few thin chariots, plus dozens of shields painted with tigers in front of the chariots, and wanted to stop the hundreds of Yanbu iron horsemen behind him? It seems that in addition to the Ming army general who has some skills, most of the remaining Ming people are incompetent.
As for the three-eyed firearm in the hands of the Ming army, he didn't pay attention to it. The bird gunners on the city of the Ming army have been suppressed by the sharpshooters in the clan, and the accuracy and range of other fire systems are far inferior to bows and arrows, not to mention the long reloading time, and it is easy to blow up and hurt themselves. Moreover, the Ming people are timid, and they will often fire the bullets indiscriminately from a distance, and the damage caused is really limited.
As long as he sent some warriors in the clan about thirty steps in front of the Ming army's formation, and suppressed them with armor-piercing heavy arrows and bows, it wouldn't be long before the Ming people would retreat without a fight. At that time, he can lead his troops to chase and kill the defeated soldiers, and rush into the city on the other hand, and make the first contribution to the destruction of the city.
Thinking of this time, he gave a loud order, and ordered the guards in the front row to raise their shields to resist the Ming people's bullets, and cover the archers in the back row to release arrows to disrupt the Ming army's position.
Seeing the rapid approach of the Mongolian cavalry, although it was not the first time for the soldiers of Changning Fort to go into battle, the pressure that continued to pour into their hearts still made everyone gasp for breath and keep their eyes fixed on the enemy ahead.
Zhou Daqi fought on the battlefield for a long time, and saw that the armor on the body of this group of Mongolian Tartars was quite complete, and they held maces, sabers, and spears in their hands, and they were all good products, so he knew that the combat power of this group of Tartars should not be underestimated.
Loudly told the fire commander not to panic, General Ding had already prepared and did not need to worry, and waited for the Tartar to enter the firing range before firing a salvo to kill the enemy. At the same time, the rattan was ordered to raise his shield against the Tartar's bow, and the pikemen were on guard with their guns, ready to assassinate the Tartar who rushed into the formation. The general rules of the flag are to patrol and restrain subordinates, and if there are those who do not obey the order, they will be killed.
Lei Tietan also commanded the men who were in charge of handling the Tiger brand, and prepared the fire fold, as long as he gave an order, he was determined to let these dog Tartars see the benefits of our army.
Relying on the cover of the chariot's upper baffle, the locust-like arrows kept hitting the baffle with a thumping sound. The tension in everyone's hearts was heightened, and they watched vigilantly as the Mongol cavalry rushed closer. In my heart, I hope that these dog tartars will soon be within the range of the fire system. Eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps. The Tartars are coming!
At this time, Zhou Daqi and Lei Tiedan shouted in unison: "Fire!" ”
The words landed, and a deafening sound of fire rang out instantly. Although the Three-Eyed Gun and the Three-Eyed Gun shoot at the same time, the targets aimed by the Gunner are also different due to the difference in armor-piercing ability.
The Three-Eyed Gun is slightly weaker in armor-piercing. The Gunner mainly targets unarmored horses under the crotch of the Tartar. The three-eyed guns on the chariots are as powerful as the birds, and they are also powerful in salvos, and are mainly used against those who wear heavy armor and carry shields.
As the smoke of gunpowder rose, the leather wooden shield that rushed to the hands of the Tartars in the front row was instantly pierced by the bullets, and the flying sawdust pierced into the face of the Tartars, causing the Tartars to wail in the array.
A Tartar soldier who was thinking about how to plunder after entering the city covered his throat in horror, only to see that blood was gushing out of the wound left by a bullet in his throat.
A Mongol cavalryman to his right. At the same moment, a bullet broke through the leather armor on his body and shot into his abdomen. The tartar looked at the blood gushing out of his abdomen in astonishment, wailed, and rolled off the horse clutching his stomach. Looking at the comrades in the front row who died one after another, the Tartars in the back row couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Lai Hong, who rushed ahead, saw Mingren firing, and subconsciously blocked the door with a plate axe, "Ding! I remembered the sound of metal crashing. The Plate Axe blocked a shot that shot straight at the door. However, the horses under him were not so lucky, and they fell to the ground after being hit by several bullet shots, throwing Lai Hong off his horse.
Seeing Taiji fall off his horse, the guards who followed Lai Hongda hurriedly rescued him, and at this time he had no intention of fighting anymore and kept him retreating.
Just ran a few steps away. One of the guards felt a pain in the back of his neck, and an arrow shot from Tiger's mouth pierced his neck. Because the arcore was longer and the flight speed was not as fast as that of the gun, the rocket was fired at the same time, but it flew a little later, and landed right in the retreating Tartar formation.
The power of the salvo of hundreds of arrows with tail flames is staggering. The retreating position of the Mongol cavalry was completely disrupted, and dozens of Tartars fell from their horses with hatred. The successive deaths of their companions caused a panic among the retreating Mongol cavalry, and taking advantage of the chaos of the Tartars, Zhou Daqi and Lei Zhenwei withdrew into the city with their soldiers and horses.
Seeing that all the people and horses who went out of the city to rescue were withdrawn, Feng Wensheng, the commander-in-chief, immediately ordered the soldiers to close the fort gate tightly. However, the Mongol army had not retreated at this time, and Ziren and Sun Shoujing did not dare to be careless. After retreating into the city, he immediately led his troops to the south of the city to hold on.
Although Ziren was unable to move, he still ran around the city with crutches, and ordered people to bring all kinds of rockets allocated by Hao Jie, as well as 10,000 enemies and corpse oil in the battalion, to prepare for the next wave of Tartar offensives.
At this time, the sub-guns of our Furlong machine have been launched and are being reloaded. The remaining Second General Cannon, Exterminator Cannon, and Gun Mouth Gun were also overheated due to repeated firing, and they needed to be cold and unable to fire for a while.
Without the blockage of artillery, Da Brain, Chang Ang, and Bai Hongda can finally reorganize the men and horses, not to mention the heavy casualties in today's battle, the coolies and craftsmen who were coerced to besiege the city were also rescued by the Ming people, and the three of them looked at the closed city gate and were unwilling. Just as they were preparing to join forces to attack the city, the two men and horses, who had been watching from a distance, suddenly retreated north.
Stir-fried flowers and rabbits sent troops this time to get some oil and water, and they didn't want their subordinates to lose too much. The two did not participate in yesterday's siege battle, and today they are only watching from the sidelines. Seeing that the three of them, Chang Ang, and Bai Hong, they had suffered the hardships of the Ming army, and the gate of Pingyu Fort was closed again. In addition, the Ming army in the city had good combat strength, and they no longer had confidence in breaking through the city and led their troops to attack elsewhere.
As a result, the few remaining morales in the army with big brains also dissipated in an instant. I had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn, and then plan for the future after returning to the camp for repairs.
"The Tartars are back!" The city instantly resounded with cheers.
Seeing that the Tartars were slowly retreating, Ziren still didn't dare to say carelessly to Sun Shoujing, Jin Guan and others: "Don't underestimate the enemy, the Tartars have suffered a big loss today, and the ferocity of the Mongols will not stop there." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he called Lei Zhenwei and said: "Let the gunners load the Furlong machine as soon as possible and launch a cannon to bombard the enemy, don't let the Tartars drag away the corpses under the city, so many military exploits in hand can't let it slip away." ”
After the battle, Ziren couldn't help but feel a little tired, so he got up and went down to the city to rest. Who knew that as soon as he walked down the city wall, he was surrounded by the rescued people, and the people knelt down under the leadership of Tie Weineng, and said in a neat voice: "Thank you for the general's life!"
