Zhang Feng held the binoculars and saw the Tartar array, and also saw the big shield of the Tartar heavy armor soldiers, the thick shield that was taller than a person, forming a shield wall that was taller than a person and almost impermeable.
Zhang Feng said slowly: "Dolgon, this is a calculation, we can't use artillery!" ”
If it weren't for the heavy rain, the artillery in Zhang Feng's hand would definitely be able to fire, but not now, without artillery, it would be hard to deal with that shield wall!
Dolgon calculated this correctly, so thousands of heavily armored soldiers equipped with huge thick shields formed a shield wall and slowly advanced over. Behind the thousands of heavily armored soldiers were thousands of archers, armed with strong bows, and then tens of thousands of cavalry followed.
Wang Chaoyong said: "Lord Commander, their huge shield looks very strong, I don't know if our muskets can penetrate this thick shield." ”
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "I'll know later." ”
Whether Dolgon's shield is strong, or Zhang Feng's spear is powerful, when the battle begins, everything will be known.
Meng Mingzhao, as a military advisor, stood next to Zhang Feng, holding a telescope and looking ahead, Meng Mingzhao said in his heart, this telescope is really good, with this thing, you can see much more clearly.
"Childe, there are so many Tartars, several times more than us, and taking advantage of the heavy rain, we must beware of their encirclement, we must be careful of the flanks and behind."
Zhang Feng said: "Division Commander Wang, you are personally responsible for the command of the flanks and the rear defense, there is no need to report the situation, you can act cheaply." ”
"Yes!"
Wang Chaoyong took a few guards and got off the control tower.
Distance.
The Tartars are advancing, the distance is getting closer, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters......
Visually inspecting that the distance between the Tartar heavy armor soldiers was less than three hundred meters, Zhang Feng took out his short gun, and shot at the sky outside, "bang" a gunshot, and then, Zhang Feng said loudly.
"Attack! Shoot!!! ”
Nearly a thousand tanks began to advance towards the Tartars, and the fighters in the vehicles began to shoot through the firing holes, and dense gunfire rang out, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Both sides were watching the battle, Zhang Feng stood on the conning tower, holding a telescope and looking ahead, Zhang Feng saw that the thick shield of the Tartar was indeed strong, and at such a distance, his musket could barely penetrate the thick shield of the Tartar at most, and the casualties of the Tartar were limited.
Dolgon was riding on horseback, also looking ahead, and was shocked when he saw the dense gunshots, and at this time, Dolgon knew that there were people hidden in those strange things, and he actually hid in that thing and shot.
"Master, it's not good! There were people in those big coffins on four wheels, and they were actually hiding there and shooting at us! ”
Dorgon was startled at first, and then quickly reassured, because he saw that his thick shield worked, and the opponent's musket really couldn't penetrate his thick shield.
As a result, several Tartar generals became excited: "Haha, master, look, our shooting is useless. ”
"Now, they're dead."
"Kill !!"
Some Tartar generals actually drew their sabers, shouted sharply and excitedly, and commanded the speed of acceleration.
Behind the heavy armor of the Tartars, thousands of archers set up their bows and stretched out their arrows, each big bow was full, and the sharp arrows were pointed diagonally towards the sky, and the arrows could see the cold cold light, and the Tartars were ready to shoot.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters......
When the distance between the two sides enters within 100 meters, the casualties of the Tartars increase significantly, and at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the muskets cannot penetrate the thick shield of the Tartars, but it does not mean that they cannot penetrate within a distance of nearly 100 meters.
Muskets are rifled guns, and the bullets are not soft lead bullets, but steel bullets with pointed heads, which have strong penetration and great power.
One bullet at a time pierced through the thick shield of the Tartars, and then continued to pierce the heavy armor on the Tartar heavy armor, and a famous Tartar heavy armor soldier began to fall.
When the casualties of the Tartar heavy armor soldiers were relatively small, a heavy armor soldier fell, and the heavy armor soldiers immediately filled the position, and the shield wall composed of thick shields was not chaotic, and there was no gap for the time being, and there was no absence.
However, as the casualties of the heavy armor increased, the Tartar shield wall was disorganized, and there were many gaps, and one bullet after another hit the Tartar archers behind from these gaps.
"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow !!"
The leading Tartars shouted loudly, and the Tartar archers, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately fired arrows into the sky, which was a projectile, a dense rain of arrows, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
Many chariots were hit by arrows, and sharp arrows were shot at the chariots, and the power of the Tartar bow and arrow was not small, and they were shot very deep, nailed to the chariot, and the shaft of the arrow trembled slightly.
To exaggerate, after a few rounds of arrows, some chariots were shot into hedgehogs, but nothing more, it was completely impossible to shoot through a plank about one or two inches thick.
And the shooting of the fighters, all the time, round after round, the sound of musket fire has been intensive, and the casualties of the Tartars have been rising.
"Well done!"
Standing on the conning tower, condescending, Zhang Feng shouted in relief, his strategy was successful, this seemingly primitive and simple chariot played a great role, not only could it keep out the rain, but it was almost a turtle shell, and the Tartar's bow and arrow shooting was completely useless.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill !!"
"Shooting !!"
Hundreds of chariots, while shooting, while advancing, the Tartars suffered huge casualties, these hundreds of chariots were completely irresistible, rushed into the ranks of the Tartars, scattered the formation of the Tartars, and kept shooting the Tartars.
It's like being in a no-man's land!
Ahead, the two sides completely fought together, a big scuffle, but it can be seen that it is completely one-sided, the Tartars continue to fall, and it can be seen from the corpses on the ground that there are Tartar heavy armor soldiers, archers, and Tartar cavalry.
The Tartars found themselves confronted with tortoise shells, on which their swords could not be cut at all, and from the shooting holes, they always fired with muskets.
The two sides are fighting together, and it is impossible for either side to retreat, so they can only fight to the death!
Riding on his horse and watching the scuffle in front of him, Dolgon's face was ugly, and Dolgon never thought that the battle would develop like this.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Dorgon shouted as hard as he could, and even beat drums to give orders, but to little effect, only some of them were able to retreat, and most of the Tartars and warriors were mixed up, and could not retreat at all.
"Cool, this is refreshing!"
Standing on the conning tower, Zhang Feng held a telescope, looking at the battle in front of him, his heart was refreshed, Zhang Feng estimated that the casualties of the Tartars were at least thousands, and the ground was full of Tartar corpses.
"Lord Commander, the situation is not good!"
At this time, Wang Chaoyong ran over quickly, with a slight worry on his face, obviously there was a new situation, it turned out that nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Tartars had copied over from the back road, preparing to attack Zhang Feng's weakest defense.
Zhang Feng took the telescope and looked towards his big rear, and sure enough, the figure of the Tartar appeared in the distance, and Zhang Feng said loudly: "Reserve, prepare for action!" ”
Fortunately, Zhang Feng was well prepared and left behind a reserve force, a reserve force of two or three hundred "chariots" to cope with the rapidly changing battlefield situation.
"Lord Commander, I will personally lead the reserve team and give those Tartar cavalry a little color."
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, however, pay attention to our defense line and don't pursue too far." ”
Wang Chaoyong nodded, quickly got off the conning tower, and commanded the two or three hundred chariots to start meeting the enemy, and not long after, the two sides also fought together.
In this way, an unprecedented battle took place on the vast Liaodong Bay Plain, with 100,000 exhibitors and a very huge battle scene.
If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the Tartars gradually formed an encirclement on the periphery, besieging Zhang Feng in the center, and Zhang Feng relied on thousands of "chariots" to firmly resist the attack of the Tartars, and sometimes even rushed back and forth to kill several times.
That's right, it's a back and forth rush, this kind of chariot can be pushed forward from the inside by manpower, and the fighters inside the car shoot through the shooting holes to the outside.
Needless to say, the casualties of the Tartars were several times, even ten times that of Zhang Feng, after all, this kind of chariot was like a tortoise shell, and it was not easy for the Tatars to hurt the warriors who were hiding in the chariot and shooting.
The battle lasted for several hours, and when Dolgon finally withdrew his troops, Dolgon looked at the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, full of corpses, most of which were the corpses of his own people.
Dolgon's heart was sad, and he knew in his heart that he had lost another crushing defeat in this battle, and that his casualties must have been twenty or thirty thousand, of which the death toll was estimated to be at least more than 10,000.
Fiasco!
Defeated again!
Dolgon rode on the war horse, silently looking ahead, looking very lonely, and said in his heart, is this Zhang Feng really invincible? Could it be that he was born to be my nemesis?
Dolgon was a little disheartened, and after so long of preparation, he hoarded grain and grass and mobilized his troops and horses, and the result was a crushing defeat.
Contrary to Dolgon's mood, Zhang Feng's mood was happy, happy, and another big victory, not only achieved the purpose of training, but also annihilated more than 10,000 Tartars, plus the previous battles, this trip to Jinzhou, the beheading of Tartars reached about 20,000 or 30,000.
Twenty or thirty thousand!
Such a record is enough to be proud of many Ming Dynasty generals, to the height that others need to look up to, which is also the biggest victory of the Ming Dynasty over the Manchu Qing Dynasty since the Liaodong incident.
"Lord Commander, this battle is really enjoyable!" Wang Chaoyong looked excited.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "At this time, our cavalry should be almost finished." ”
That's right!
This time, this cavalry was really a strange army, Dolgon never thought about it, Zhang Feng also secretly left a hand, and directly hit the vital parts of the Dolgon faction.
