Chapter 286: The Three Views Are Beginning to Collapse!
Qin Liangyu was moved, so he desperately wanted to keep up with Zhu Zilong's troops.
Qin Yiming and the other officers and soldiers of the Qin army were more anxious than Qin Liangyu at this time, and they immediately started the army without her explanation. The reason, simpler. Because they and Zhu Zilong have agreed to cooperate for a long time and prosperous business, for most of the soldiers and officers of the Qin army, Zhu Zilong is now the God of Wealth.
Could that make him have an accident?
After a while, Qin Yiming and the others rode on a small horse and galloped behind them, and shouted to Zhu Zilong from a distance: "Brother Sihai, be cautious." Hou Ti is expensive! After the Jin Break, the Ministry of Warriors has 5,000 warriors, and the forward of your department is only more than 2,500 cavalry that can be fought with. ”
The meaning of Qin Yiming's words, the subtext is very clear, the strength is quite good, you beat the egg?
It's not that he looks down on you, Da Ming didn't have an army that dared to fight with Houjin one-on-one and won a big victory. The same force is not enough, not to mention the vanguard cavalry of about 2,500 people in your TM, rushing towards the Houjin army of more than 5,000 people.
Even if they are only broken troops, not everyone is cavalry. You have fewer people than the other party, and you are too pretending!
Zhu Zilong, who was racing wildly on the horse in front of him, still had time to turn around and smile at Qin Yi at this time, and replied with a loud roar: "Our forward is just to hold back the Houjin troops and not let them run, and the infantry and artillery team of our department that followed will soon be able to catch up, and then it will be the time for the decisive battle." ”
The battle situation in front was indeed as Zhu Zilong said, and Abatai saw Zhu Zilong's forward cavalry rushing over.
began to set up the formation on the spot, no longer moved, and had to fight on the spot.
This time Abatai robbed so many things, his cavalry had long been dragged down into pig soldiers. The whole army walked very slowly, and in the face of the incoming enemy, it could only change the formation and fight like the Ming Dynasty army.
Speaking of which, it was also a surprise, in the hearts of the Qing army, no army in the Ming Dynasty dared to intercept them, so they were so careless.
The distance between the two sides was two or three miles, and they stopped at each other.
"I'm Zhu Jiajun." As soon as Zhu Zilong waved his hand, the herald shouted.
"Mighty!"
"I'm Zhu Jiajun!"
"Mighty!"
The vanguard cavalry of the first battalion of the Zhu family army cooperated with the tsunami-like shouts.
This is the first to fight the momentum of the battle, beating people first to fight the courage, but also to strengthen the morale of the party.
And behind the vanguard army, the Qin army helped the infantry regiment of the Zhu family army push the artillery together. Of course, there was something special about the place where they walked, it was a place on higher ground, which was chosen as an artillery position.
The sappers who followed quickly waved their shovels and flew around, and a shallow trench quickly appeared in front of the artillery camp. Sacks filled with soil and built low walls. A protected area for the formation of artillery regiments!
Only one trail remained, but it was also guarded by a large group of infantry.
The rest of the infantry immediately accelerated forward and followed the forward battalion.
Abatai's gaze on the opposite side was cloudy, and any commander with a modicum of military knowledge would not easily give the order to attack immediately when he saw a well-organized enemy army.
Especially when a Ming army suddenly appeared, and dared to take the initiative to instigate its own army, there must be a demon when something goes wrong.
So, Abatai ordered to continue the whole team, and he led a few people to ride forward, and the war horse rushed up a slope to observe the Ming army on the opposite side.
"A strange team, about 3,000 cavalry, 4,500 infantry, and some logistics, an army of 10,000 people. It is estimated that this is what Tagude said, the Ming army that defeated him. Signal, set up in battle formation, trotting close to three hundred paces. ”
After a round of observations, Comrade Abatai made a decision that would surely make him regret it for the rest of his life.
If at this time, he immediately threw away the stolen Ming people and property, and ran away with the troops, Zhu Zilong would have no way to keep them, let alone hit them hard.
However, for many years, the Qing army, which has always won more than defeated against the Ming army, how could it be the first time to run away?
It was Abatai who ordered this, and it is estimated that the soldiers of the Qing army would not agree.
Soon, the 5,000 Qing troops of Houjin put on a common charge formation and slowly approached forward. At this time, Qin Yiming, who came forward, had a white face, and wanted to persuade Zhu Zilong to retreat and fight again after converging with their Qin army and the infantry phalanx of the Zhu family's army.
As a result, Zhu Zilong didn't wait for him to speak, and dropped a sentence when they met directly: "Follow me obediently, don't talk, don't move, otherwise military law will be ruthless." Ben Hou has his own ideas! ”
In the incomprehensible expressions of Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming and the others, Zhu Zilong asked the herald soldiers to play a flag.
The First Artillery Regiment of the Zhu Family's Army, which saw the flag in the rear on the right, immediately began to act: "Ranging!" Reload, aim. ”
"Report, the artillery team is ready!" The soldiers of the artillery regiment of the first artillery reported loudly to the various commanders.
Wang Guodong, deputy commander of the First Artillery Regiment, calmly looked at the enemy with a telescope. Hearing this, he said lightly: "The test launch begins!" ”
Rumble!
There was some deviation in the first test firing, and when it was fifty meters away from the Houjin army, the projectile had already landed, rolled forward for a while, and no one was injured.
Of course, it was still somewhat intimidating to Abatai's soldiers, and they realized that the Ming army on the opposite side seemed to have artillery.
"Adjusted again!" The roars of the soldiers of the artillery regiment sounded again, and Wang Guodong decisively ordered again: "Fire!" ”
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
A few shells landed accurately in the dense Houjin formation, and the damage caused by this time can be described as huge.
Many of the Qing soldiers in the front line were affected by the projectile and rolled to the ground screaming. It's a mess everywhere!
However, the shelling was only the beginning, and the second round, having ensured accuracy and distance, the artillery regiment finally began to open full-scale fire.
For a while, Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming and others, who were watching the battle, felt that their three views were beginning to collapse.
At this moment, Qin Yiming and Qin Liangyu have been holding the telescope and never put it down, everything that happened on the battlefield has subverted all their perceptions of the war in the Ming Dynasty. On the right side of the rear, Zhu Jiajun's artillery can endure it lightly, but how can it achieve a rate of fire of 20 breaths (about 20 seconds) per round?
Take the few big general cannons in the Ming Dynasty now.
Cast with pig iron, more than three feet long, weighing several thousand catties, there is a shining star in the front, there is a light door in the back, the charge is more than three or five catties, the lead (cannonball) weighs five to eight catties, and the firing range can reach two or three miles away.
There are multiple reinforcing hoops, divided into large, medium and small three, firing 7 catties, 3 catties and 1 catties of lead bullets, carried by one vehicle. The wheels are high in the front and low in the back, and can be fired directly from the car, which has great power. However, it takes an average of more than a minute to fire a shot, and after many shots, you have to stop and rest for half an hour, otherwise there is a danger of exploding.
The artillery of the Zhu family army in front of him is smaller than the general's cannon, but it can also hit about two miles, even if the weight of the shell is slightly lighter, but it will fire a cannon in about 20 seconds (breath), and it will be fired three times in a minute, which is too exaggerated.
I saw that dozens of nearly 100 shells entered intensively, and in the ranks of the Qing army that were trotting forward, they instantly disrupted the Houjin charging formation with Niu Lu as the unit. Originally, their military formation was a zigzag formation, but now they are messed together, scurrying like headless flies-
