The rumbling sound of horses' hooves did not weaken as the army approached the Great Chinese Army, but became more urgent.

Thousands of cavalry were rapidly approaching the military formation in front, and the distance was less than five hundred paces, but Dahua's military formation was still not moving.

A thousand general manager stood on the left side of the front row in a drape, and saw him holding a scimitar high and shouting: "All steady, no one is allowed to shoot without hearing the order, and the violator will be dealt with by military law!" ”

At the end of the big array, hundreds of Napoleonic bronze artillery guns were lined up, and the aiming men were nervously checking the gun positions to prevent the artillery from missing, and Dong Guo, as the commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion, was patrolling around behind the gun positions with a cold face, and said with a cold face from time to time: "Everyone listen, aim at Lao Tzu, if anyone will let the projectile fall on our own brother's head, Lao Tzu will stuff him into the cannon chamber and shoot it out." ”

As the size of the army gradually expanded, so did the tactics of the artillery battalion. In the past, when the war began, the artillery of the artillery battalion was arranged in front of each large array, which had the advantage of having a wide field of vision, and second, that the artillery battalion could play at will without worrying about accidental injury.

But the disadvantage of this is also great, the biggest disadvantage is that the position of the artillery battalion is too far forward, as long as the enemy rushes to the front, the unarmed gunners can only become a live target for the enemy.

However, when the army began to place the artillery behind the military formation, it was strongly opposed by many infantry generals, after all, no one wanted to put their own safety in front of the artillery, in case one day the gunner carelessly lowered the gun carriage by such a point. Wouldn't it cost you your own life?

But this matter is a good thing for the artillery battalion. If it weren't necessary, the foot soldiers would want to put themselves at the forefront of the position. So this lawsuit came to Pang Gang, and in the end, it was Pang Gang who pressed it down, which made the infantry generals shut up.

However, Pang Gang forcibly pushed the position of the artillery battalion back and also issued a strict order to the artillery battalion, if the artillery battalion dropped the projectile on its own head, which gun fired it would severely punish all the gunners of which gun, and it was precisely because of this strict order that the gunners were also trembling when firing shells.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was already less than four hundred steps away from the front position of the formation, Dong Guo, who had been staring at them for a long time, shouted loudly: "Listen to all the gun positions, adjust the height to three knots." Directly ahead, a flowering bomb, ready to be released! ”

"Knock Knock"

With Dong Guo's order, a sound like thunder sounded. Hundreds of guns lined up in unison spewed out a large puff of white smoke, accompanied by a huge roar, and the thrust of countless projectiles erupted when the gunpowder exploded instantly, rushing out of the barrel and flying forward

In people's impression, the cavalry has always been fearless, they ride tall horses, hold all kinds of weapons high, with the fastest speed and fearless attitude to rush to the enemy formation, tearing the enemy to pieces, can be called the bravest group of people.

Now, at the forefront was a group of cavalrymen with blue flags. The leader was a Baya Laja Zhangjing, who was now mixed in the middle of thousands of troops, holding his saber high and shouting: "Warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty, rush, kill all those lowly Nikans!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

With the power of their horses, the Qing soldiers held their longbows and clinged to their horses to reduce the resistance of the wind and rushed forward desperately, and they all firmly believed that as long as they rushed to the front of the army, those cowardly Han people would definitely be vulnerable.

Just when these Qing soldiers were desperately rushing forward. Huang Taiji and a group of Manchu generals also came to a slightly higher place under the support of a group of elite Zhenghuang Banner Baya soldiers, each holding a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movement of the charge ahead.

These cavalrymen with blue flags were instructed by Huang Taiji to test the strength of the Dahua army, and Huang Taiji was very curious about the Dahua army that defeated Dolgon, Abatai and others, and he wanted to see if the other party had three heads and six arms.

At this moment, a muffled thunderous voice came. Those with sharp eyes could also see countless small black dots flying in the air in front of them, and they fell towards the group of cavalry that was struggling forward.

"Boom Boom"

Suddenly. It seemed like a huge moment like a landslide and the ground cracked one after another, and the huge explosion made the war horse under Huang Taiji's crotch also raised its front hooves and neighed, almost tearing Huang Taiji off the horse.

"Hiss"

The horse that Huang Taiji sat on couldn't stop leaning back on his front hooves, so frightened that the two Goshha around him hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse to stop the next move of the war horse, otherwise if Huang Taiji was thrown down, even if they had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut off.

Finally stopped the commotion of the war horse, and Huang Taiji asked left and right with a blushing face: "Is this the artillery of the Great Chinese Army?" ”

Abatai, who was also frightened and turned pale, lowered his head and said: "Back to the emperor, it is Dahua's artillery, Dahua's artillery has always been famous for its fierce firepower, minion"

"Boom Boom"

Before Abatai could finish his words, they were interrupted by another explosion in the blink of an eye, and they followed the sound of the explosion, puffs of smoke mixed with countless flying sand and rocks raged in the air, and countless Qing soldiers around the center of the explosion were blown into various positions by the shock wave like light leaves, flying in the air.

The stumps, severed arms, blood mist and the neighing of war horses became the main theme on the battlefield, and the black projectiles continued to explode after falling to the ground, constantly taking the lives of the Qing soldiers in the explosion.

As the sound of explosions continued to sound, countless frightened war horses neighed and ran in a panic on the battlefield, even if the knights on the horses desperately tightened the reins, it was to no avail, and the battlefield was chaotic for a while.

"What the hell is going on, how can the enemy have so many flowering bombs, don't these flowering bombs cost money?"

The angry voice of Huang Taiji echoed on a dirt slope about five hundred paces from the battlefield, and around him stood many Manchu princes and nobles, such as Dolgon, Duoduo, Abatai, Azig, and Hauge.

Looking at the battlefield that had become a pot of porridge, Huang Taiji couldn't believe his eyes, were the people and horses in front of him who were like stragglers still the powerful Qing Dynasty iron cavalry on weekdays? I'm afraid even the natives in the mountains are stronger than them, right?

Huang Taiji's fat body shook and looked like he was about to stand unsteadily, and the two Goshha on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care!"

Huang Taiji steadied his body, took a deep breath, pushed the two Goshha away, and waited for Dolgon beside him to say coldly: "Dolgon, you say, why does the enemy army have so many flowering bombs, has Dahua found a way to make flowering bullets on a large scale?" ”

The flowering bomb was first made by the Chinese people around 1000 AD, but the initial flowering bullet was limited by the factor of gunpowder power, and the power was very small.

This kind of shell is the use of fragments and shock waves generated after the explosion of the projectile to achieve the killing effect, to the Ming Dynasty, with the continuous improvement of gunpowder manufacturing technology and power, the production technology of the flowering bomb has made great progress and development, but the reason for restricting the large-scale use of the flowering bomb is the cost problem.

Even by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the cost of flowering bombs was still about fifty silver each, and the high price made everyone who wanted to use it think of the word bankruptcy before using it, so even the richest countries did not dare to use flowering bombs on a large scale.

But today's scene is to subvert Huang Taiji's cognition, he looked at the black spots full of waste and the sound of explosions one after another, the first thought that came to his mind was that Pang Gang had just dug a super gold mine, and dared to use such an expensive thing so unscrupulously.

Hearing Huang Taiji's question, Dolgon's face was bitter, it was not the first time he had seen such a situation, as early as the battle of Julu, he and Yang Wu's general Yue Tuo had suffered from this kind of flowering bomb, and today was just reliving the old dream.

Hearing Huang Taiji's question, Dolgon smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, as early as two years ago, when my brother came back from Julu, I showed you that Pang Gang's command was equipped with a large number of artillery, and many of the projectiles used were flowering shells. ”

"Ugh"

Huang Taiji's face stiffened, and then he recalled that when the two brothers Dolgon and Duoduo returned to Shengjing with Yue Tuo, who was seriously ill, they reported to him in person that Pang Gang's subordinates had used flowering bombs on a large scale, but he was ruthlessly reprimanded by himself at that time, because he didn't believe that anyone would be so defeated at that time, so it was no longer a war, but a throwing of silver.

But now it seems that what Dolgon and the others said at that time was true, and he was indeed too self-righteous at that time.

Seeing Huang Taiji's embarrassed face, Dolgon began to sneer in his heart, when he and Duoduo led the two flags of Zhengbai and Bai, which suffered heavy losses, from Julu, Huang Taiji not only did not comfort his two brothers, but instead scolded himself, saying that he was an excuse for being greedy for life and afraid of death. If it weren't for the seriously injured Yue Tuo to testify, I am afraid that I would have to be with Amin, but in the end, I still punished my two brothers for a year! Huang Taiji's vicious heart can be seen from this, but today he finally has nothing to say.

Although Dolgon was gloating, he still made a solemn look on his face and hung his head silently.

The sound of artillery in the distance continued, but the blue flag owner Abatai was already pale, and the one in front of him was bombed by the warriors with the blue flag, he couldn't watch the elite under his command die in vain.
