Chapter 697: A Prince's Final Journey (8)

"Rush! Keep rushing! Don't stay here and wait for death, then rush!! "Zha Leng Mu almost crushed his teeth! He howled as hard as he could, urging his cavalry to continue the charge! How cold-blooded the Manchus were, they saw it better than anyone else, because they themselves were accomplices!

Yàoshi was frightened at this time and turned around and went back, and Duoduo would definitely not hesitate to cut off his head! Anyway, there are many wandering herdsmen on the Mongolian plateau!

The Manchu cavalry, who were cornered, chose to continue their assault before they completely collapsed.

The Manchu cavalry spread out as much as they could, leaning down and hiding on horseback, trying to reduce their own impact area. There's no point in doing that, but it's better than doing nothing, right?

Looking at the surging cavalry cluster on the opposite side, Gao Yang took out a cigarette and lit it. He said in a low voice, "Momentum, bucuo." In the era of cold weapons, it can be regarded as powerful. ”

"You also said that it was the era of cold weapons." The origin responded: "What's the use of being strong?" In the face of an army that is fully firearmed, no matter what you do, you are just dying in vain. ”

"At least it looks powerful. The visuals are good. The era of hot weapons has developed to the extreme, and there are no people to be seen at all. It's not fun to throw things at each other from afar. Gao Yang smacked his lips and said, "This is much better than watching a movie." ”

As he spoke, another round of shelling passed. The same power, the same lethality. However, it is nowhere near as violent as in the first round. The already dispersed cavalry groups used spatial distances to reduce losses from artillery strikes.

"yàoshi is good with a flowering bullet." Yuan Dian said softly.

"The bore pressure of the cannon is too high, and it is difficult for a hollow flowering shell to withstand this pressure. If yàoshi is equipped with another batch of howitzers, first of all, it is logistical trouble, and then there is no need for this. Napoleonic guns of two calibers were enough. There's no need for such trouble. Gao Yang explained aloud.

"The progress of science and technology is coming little by little. If you pull too high at one time, it will not be good for the future development of this world. Yuan Dian said softly.

"Huh." Gao Yang shook his head and chuckled, "I don't live here, I can't control what happens to them in the future." Just do what you can to do your best. I can't do all the work, I can't do it. I laid a good foundation for them, and the future road still needs for them to rely on themselves. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Dian replied lightly and said, "Let's talk about these things after the battle." Things are more troublesome in modern space-time. ”

The high-speed galloping war horse gulped white gas, its strong and powerful limbs struggled, and the heavy horse's hooves, which were larger than the mouth of the bowl, hit the ground like thunder. Its tremendous power even made the floating soil and stones on the trenches of the Ming army's front-line positions constantly shake.

"Damn, so much?" A soldier of the Ming army from the countryside of Beizhili poked his head out of a trench. Looking at the crowd of cavalry rushing over like a black wave on the opposite side, his jaw almost hit the ground in shock. Well-trained and high morale does not hide the fear in the heart. The soldiers were equally afraid.

The trenches were filled with Ming troops leaning on their shoulders with muskets and cigarettes in their hands. Most of them looked nervous. The fingers holding the cigarette were trembling slightly. Of course, there are also soldiers who look at ease and don't care too much, but there are not many of them. After all, this army has not experienced much of the baptism of war, and at the moment most of them are still recruits. This pre-war anxiety could not be avoided. After going through the baptism of blood and fire, life and death, you will naturally become a veteran.

From time to time, a terrible, shrill chirp pierced the sky. The soldiers are all speech, it is their own artillery. Strong force is the source of confidence for the soldiers. The soldiers believed only in the knives and guns in their hands.

As the biochemical soldiers who served as grassroots officers blew their whistles, almost all the Ming soldiers who were still sitting in the trenches smoking and farting to relieve their pre-war fears jumped up. Raise the musket in your hand and start reloading.

The advanced Ferguson breech-loading gun in the hands of a trained soldier can fire at a rate of fire of more than six rounds per minute! So even if there is no Makqin there. The Ming army could still rely on dense rifle fire to deal with large groups of cavalry.

What's more important is that Gao Yang laid barbed wire in front of the Ming army's position! This is the killer weapon to deal with the dense charge without Maxim!

This kind of barbed wire, which costs only tens or hundreds of yuan a roll on the Internet, is simple and convenient, and the effect is excellent. After pulling away, it is arranged in front of the position to form a continuous spike. Once the cavalry rushed Jinqu, it was absolutely impossible to get rid of the entanglement of these barbed wires.

"Oops." Gao Yang didn't think of something. Suddenly put down the binoculars in his hand, reached out and patted his thigh, frowned and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Origin asked, confused.

"I think something is wrong." Gao Yang stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, sighed lightly and said, "The barbed wire fence should be placed at least a hundred meters away in front of the trench." It's too close now. What a mistake I made. ”

"Does it make a difference?" The origin didn't understand what Gao Yang meant at all.

"Fight back! Counterattack! The counterattack of the Manchu army! Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Now in this position." Their bows and arrows can be shot into the trenches. If yàoshi is far away, this situation will not occur, and he can only stare and be beaten! ”

"That's right. Really. Yuan Dian thought for a moment and said, "But even if there is a bow and arrow to fight back." It shouldn't cause many casualties, right? The sergeants were hiding in the trenches, and there were steel helmets. How many arrows could the Manchu cavalry who were trapped in the barbed wire fence shoot under the dense firepower? ”

"That's not what it meant." Gao Yang waved his hand, his gaze returned to the battlefield in the distance, and said in a low voice, "As a commander, this is my mistake. ”

"There's a limit to your energy, and it's normal for you to not be perfect. There is no need to blame yourself. You've done a great job. However, you do need a staff member who can take all the heavy lifting off your shoulders. "The origin is comforting.

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded, rubbed his eyebrows lightly with one hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's finish the battle first." ”

Nearly 4,000 Manchu cavalry braved the sky of artillery fire and a rain of sharp muskets and bullets to assault all the way to the front of the Ming army's position. But that's the end of it. Many of the lucky ones who rushed to the front had already drawn their swords, licking their lips and wanting to rush into the Ming army's position and kill them wreak. But for some reason, he suddenly fell to the ground. Even people and horses.

Many people even fall down to find out that the ground has not been covered with layers of fence-like things. It is iron, with barbs. A lot, a lot. Almost all the way to the Ming position.

The offensive of the Manchu cavalry was blocked in this place. Even if the cavalry behind realized that something was wrong, they did not hit Jinqu after reducing their speed. However, their position at the moment is in front of the Ming army's position! Not how many muskets are being aimed at them!

"Bang bang bang ~~~" The Ming army's shooting instantly intensified. If it was just an ordinary firecracker before, it is definitely lightning now. The road ahead was blocked, and a large number of their own people poured up behind. The Manchu cavalry, who couldn't move, became the best live target. Dense fire at the most suitable distance.

Buckshot pierces the bodies of men and horses, breaking bones and shattering flesh. Take away the lives one by one. The screams and wails were endless. The ground was covered with corpses and blood, the living and the dead fell together, and Juéàng watched his life fade away.

There were unwilling Manchu cavalry who bent their bows and arrows and threw arrows at the Ming positions in front. As for how effective it is, they don't see it. The Manchu troops in the front row were hardly able to resist for more than ten seconds. The ubiquitous buckshot would drop them to the ground in an instant. Whether they are temporarily alive or dead, they will never be separated from this black land.

The corpses on the line of life and death were piled up to half a person's height. Man and horse, flesh and blood, living and dead. Thousands of cavalry burst out with extremely rare courage and advanced to this place despite the huge casualties. But it was stopped almost within reach of the cavalry! Welcome the baptism of death.

The barbed wire fences also do not cover all the lots. There are also many passages that can be used by people and horses. This is the advance channel reserved for the counteroffensive troops. Many Manchu cavalry wanted to continue through these passages, but how could such a place not be blocked by heavy fire? The narrow passage was already covered with corpses.

Seeing the rapid reduction of the soldiers and horses under his command, the corners of Zha Lengmu's eyes had already burst out with blood. At the front were all his Mongol cavalry. Most of Duan Na and his more than 2,000 Ding are foot soldiers, and they are still running on the road behind at the moment!

"Bastard! Bastard!! It's all assholes!! Zha Leng Mu tugged at his greasy whirring hair, and howled with all his might, "Damn Duoduo! Damn Duanna! Damn the Ming Army! It's all bastards!! ”

This feeling of being beaten and unable to fight back made the Manchu cavalry unacceptable. They had never encountered such a way of warfare. In the past, they all rushed over to fight in close combat, and fought for life and death between swords and swords. Where have you ever encountered a battlefield like this at this moment, where even the enemy army can't see it?

There is a limit to the casualties that an army can sustain. More than two layers of casualties in this era were enough to collapse this force. But at this moment, the casualties of these more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and hundreds of Manchu Yu Ding cavalry are definitely over five layers! He also wanted to escape, but the formation was too crowded, and the people behind him were desperately squeezing forward. The one in front can't go even if you want to!

Just when Zha Leng Mu Juéàng was shedding muddy tears, the sound of the horn of the retreating soldiers suddenly sounded from the Manchu Qing Great Array in the distance behind him! To be continued ......)
