Chapter 430: The Wooden Wall Is Like a Reef, and the Enemy Soldiers Are Like Waves
readx;
The shouting on the watchtower was more to let the generals below know, Wang Tong stood on the top of the carriage and looked around to see clearly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition to the frontal group, the Tartar cavalry was divided into two groups, each of which was about four hundred men, and each was parked on one side.
Hearing the whining horn, the originally scattered Tatar cavalry began to gather and converge, lined up in formation, but the Tartar horse team moved, and inside the Feng camp, the artillerymen and Ding Zhuang pushed the four-wheeled cart to transfer the small cannon, and they also moved quickly. This kind of small cannon with a projectile of about nine taels is less than 300 catties, and it is equipped with iron wheels, and the number of people is strong, which is equivalent to translating on the cart, and it is very fast.
This time he came in a hurry, and brought a total of thirty of these small cannons, and since the enemy was attacking from several directions, he transferred the artillery to these three directions.
The tiger squat cannon was originally a standing in the Ming army, and the Tianjin Guard Firearms Workshop had a lot of inventory, and this time it brought more than 70 pieces, but the tiger squat cannon was light, and more than 100 guns were more convenient.
With so many guns, it is not only the artillery that is operating, it is generally two artillery officers commanding a few soldiers to work together, fortunately, the loading and preparation of this small cannon is very simple, and when the opposing cavalry is still preparing, this side has been loaded. "Everywhere I estimated the distance, and then I fought after I entered the firing range of thirty steps, and the military law of early combat was served!!
The firearms were concentrated on one side, and everyone was bold, and now they were separated, and some places were obviously in a hurry, Wang Tong saw all this in his eyes on the top of the box, and couldn't help but shout and restrain him.
With an extremely sharp whistle, the Tartar cavalry in three directions rushed forward with a shout, but this attack was much smaller than the scale.
In front of him, at least 800 horsemen were invested at one time, and the team was also very dense, pondering to rush in by relying on the number of people to withstand the rain of arrows of the Ming army at a time.
This time, the sound of hooves was far less powerful than Fang Cai, and there were only more than 100 horsemen rushing in front in each direction, and the formation of these 100 horsemen was also quite sparse, and the brigade behind was slowly moving forward.
I also saw that the firearms of the Ming army were powerful, and they dispersed to avoid greater damage, but as long as the Feng camp of the Ming army was opened, the brigade that followed behind would rush in.
That is, in the blink of an eye, the Tartar cavalry was already within the range of the artillery, "Fire!" The shouts rang out from three directions, like a drum being beaten, and the artillery burst into flames.
This second wave of artillery bombardment was not as effective as the one just now, the enemy cavalry was very scattered, and the artillery fire also needed to be aimed, but fortunately, the body of this pound cannon was light, and it was very convenient to move, and it could still be targeted.
But artillery is artillery after all, and it is impossible to be extremely accurate, and the sharp whistling sound in mid-air was heard densely, but this time the screams that followed were much rarer.
The high-flying metal cannonballs are not what those flesh and blood can withstand, the people who are smashed, the flesh is smashed, the head is smashed, the horses are hit, and they fall directly to the ground, and even the shells kill three people in a row, and the terrible screams continue, but they still get close to the side of the baffle. "Find shelter, raise your shield to block!!"
The generals of the Huwei battalion roared loudly, and the Tatar cavalry dozens of paces away from the big baffle drew their bows and arrows on their horses, and the artillery was too late to reload the second round, the artillerymen grabbed the shields on the side and leaned against the baffle, and everyone in the camp was either a ruckus. Go under the cart, or gather a crowd and raise their shields.
The location of the watchtower is the most central, the scale of the Feng camp is very large, so that there is no need to worry about the other party's arrows shooting, Wang Tong looked around coldly, and said: "Our archers and firecrackers are too few, and the cannon is not a cannon, Tartar Xun can rush to the front after all."
Before General Tan next to him answered, the Tartar cavalry's crusts had rained down, and the sound of dense bumping sounded, and the arrows either pierced into the ground or into the shield.
But after all, the concealment can not be said to be complete, there are also arrows exposed from the gaps in the shield, someone was shot in the body, there screamed in pain, Wang Tong shouted on the top of the compartment: "Bandage the wounded simply, put them on the side of the baggage and the cart, and make a mess and shout the marching method!"
The firearms of the Fan people remained in the front, and the more than 100 archers were divided into three groups and spread in three directions, and the first wave of arrows from the opponent rained down, and counterattacks immediately began everywhere.
The frontal firearms and bows and arrows were intertwined, directly blocking the momentum of the cavalry forward, but the other two directions could not be stopped, and the enemy still rushed to the front, and you went back and forth with arrows.
The mount was bumpy, and the bows and arrows fired were of course not accurate, but after all, they were continuous, and the archers who were shooting at them on the cart also suffered casualties, and the Tartar cavalry also rushed to the front.
At this time, the brigade that had been following behind also rushed forward, and the bows and arrows stopped, but the Tartar cavalry, armed with long swords and axes, began to dismount and rush towards the baffle. "Change the spear and sword, change the spear and shield!!" When the Tartar cavalry began to dismount and rush up, the battalions standing on the carts were there shouting orders, the artillerymen and archers jumped out of the carts, the gunners went straight to the bottom of the carts, and the archers ran backwards with bows and arrows, stood still and hung outward.
The spearmen trotted forward in a line, but without the JL cart, the first column was a step away from the cart, and in front of them stood soldiers with swords and shields.
The bows and arrows of the Tartars outside kept hanging in, and the sword and shield soldiers raised the shields in their hands diagonally, covering the people behind them, and the Tartar soldiers holding the weapons were about to turn over the baffle, revealing the upper body, and the spear immediately pierced it, and although the baffle outside was hanging diagonally on the cart, the slope was very steep.
When the man climbed up, he could not use his strength, and he had to balance his body, but the spearmen were waiting behind the cart, and the enemy outside could not make any fighting movements at the moment when they climbed over the baffle, and they were directly assassinated in defenseless.
The approaching Tartar cavalry did not dare to continue to shoot arrows, but the scattered arrows from inside continued to shoot, and one by one their companions climbed into the cart, but they kept hanging on the baffle, and died there without an inch.
The Tartar cavalry attacking from the southeast side watched their companions in front of them die there one by one, and there were also a few brave people who fought their tempers, and drove their horses to rush over, trying to cross the baffle, the Mongolian horses were short, but the baffle was not too high, some people fell directly in front of the baffle, and some people were lucky to cross it. "Thorn!!
Anyone who shows their heads on the side of the baffle will be assassinated, and the soldiers in the car camp have already had a subconscious reaction, even if the horses crossed, the cavalry crossed, several soldiers shouted and stabbed the spears in their hands, the horses neighed, the weight of people and horses was quite large, and the spearmen were suddenly pressed back, and two spears were directly broken.
But the queue was a little disorganized, but more spears pierced, and the Tartar cavalry on the horse had only just raised their swords.
Now the shouts and screams are intertwined, Wang Tong watched the Tartar cavalry on three sides on the carriage rush up like a tide, but the baffle of the Fengying camp seems to be a reef in the tide, no matter how big the wave is, it is smashed on the reef, and it is impossible to enter at all.
On the front, the reloading time of the firebolt is slightly longer, but it is always maintained at a steady frequency, and the archers fill this gap, and the approaching Tartar cavalry is always cruising around the perimeter, but cannot get close, and wants to shoot arrows but is suppressed by the opponent's firearms and bows.
Because it can't get close, the artillery can also be calmly loaded, and it has been fired three times, and the attack on the frontal side is becoming more and more like a diversion.
On both sides, despite the heavy casualties in the climb to the clapper, the process felt like a promising breakthrough, and more and more cavalry approached to dismount and rush forward with swords in hand.
The foot soldiers of the Huwei battalion all leaned in front of the cart, slashing and stabbing the tired Tartars with their swords and spears, and more and more people gathered in several places. "Tiger squat cannon, tiger squat cannon!!"
Wang Tong, who was standing on the roof of the car, shouted that the Tatar cavalry formation was too scattered to charge, so that the tiger squat cannon with a close range of shotgun was useless, although it was loaded with ammunition, it never found a chance to shoot, and now it was crowded enough in several places.
Wang Tong shouted, but the shouting and killing everywhere was already earth-shattering, no one could hear clearly, the pro-soldiers below followed the shouting, and the nearby folk Ding Zhuang also shouted, and the artillery at the bottom of the car finally heard clearly, and the water used both hands and feet went to the tiger squat cannon, found the nearest brazier, and took the red-hot iron drill for ignition to the lead.
The sound of roaring sounded continuously, and the battlefield suddenly fell silent, except for the open space that was about twenty paces in front of him, there were corpses on the ground, or crawling and screaming.
Artillery commander Mu En just retreated and didn't know what to do, the artillery was too late to load, he picked up a long knife, but he couldn't insert it into the battle formation in front, and when the tiger squatting cannon was finished, the scene was a little quiet, he finally reacted, threw away the weapon in his hand, slapped his cheek with his hand, and then ran quickly to the car, shouting: "Brothers, come out and load ammunition, don't delay!" The artillerymen agreed, and the trembling men who were hiding behind also ran over.
The Tartar cavalry outside thought that they were about to break through just now, but no matter how hard they tried to add people, they were never able to break through the wooden wall that was less than one person high, and everyone who went up was killed" The opponent's artillery fired again in the vicinity, and wanted to continue to charge, looking at the corpses of his companions who fell in front of the wooden wall, they had no courage at all, and everyone hesitated. Everyone hesitated, everyone conformed to the crowd, they all hesitated there, and some people also estimated that the artillery was about to shoot again, and subconsciously turned their horses, preparing to escape.
At this time, the horn sounded briefly, and when the Tartar cavalry heard it, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly reined in their horses and turned back, which was the signal to withdraw their troops......
If nothing else, double the season, it is a monthly pass!! s!
