Chapter 26: Impact
Listening to the drum sound on the opposite side, Zhou Shao'er's heart jumped wildly, the two teams of musketeers who had just finished shooting were retreating from him, and there were still two rows squatting behind the breastwork, and the captain of the firearms flag did not look at the oncoming Jiannu at all, his face turned to the side, looking at the Ling Qi of the deputy Qianzong on the side.
Zhou Shao'er probed out, the front vision was very good, rows of shields were moving, some were painted with bright beast patterns, he held back a mouthful of saliva, moistened his dry throat, Chen Ying behind him let out a heavy breath, this Dongjiang soldier just shot a Mongolian rider in the gap, Zhou Shao'er saw him carved a painting on his waist card, it is estimated that he is still calculating how many lives Jiannu misses his family. At this time, the fourth clock said to the crowd: "After swinging away, knock down the wall first." ”
Zhou Shao'er nodded vigorously, looked over the heads of the two rows of squatting musketeers, and looked at the breastwork, where wood and stones were exposed in the dirt, and the inner side was not splashed with water at all, and it only took a few people to work together to push it down, and the killer team's attack would not be affected by the breastwork.
Chen Xin never thought of being beaten passively, and all the chest walls on the front only splashed a small amount of water on the front to pretend to have a solid appearance. Let Jiannu think that the Wendeng camp will only defend, and now Jiannu's two flanks only leave a hundred people from the left and right camps, and in Chen Xin's opinion, they are still extremely contemptuous of themselves while being careful, and this contempt is what he wants to use.
Jiannu's shield array slowly advanced to sixty steps, basically maintaining a neat line, the spears and broadswords in the back row were erected high, like a moving forest, and there were horseback garrisons (reserves) behind the left, center, and right lines, especially the garrison on the right wing of Jiannu, dressed in silver-white armor, which was the Bayala emphasized many times by the Dongjiang soldiers, these people were all veterans for many years, skilled in battle, well-equipped, and determined.
Liu Pojun, who was beside Chen Xin, had a flushed face, looking at the dense crowd opposite, his eyes showed deep hatred, and the scenes of suffering for many years after the fall of Liaodong appeared in front of him.
Jiannu cautiously walked to the icy area, getting closer and closer to the fifty paces distance mark.
Chen Xin's voice sounded in his ears: "Tiger squat cannon preparation!" Three or four rows of firearms teams ready! Killer Team Ready! ”
Liu Pojun hissed and shouted: "Point the change cannon!" The trumpeter prepares, the trumpeter prepares. ”
"Tom" a change of order cannon sounded, and the eyes of all the commanders turned to the Chinese army, waiting for the order that would decide the life and death of countless people.
The fifty-step mark was covered by the Jiannu Front, and Chen Xin shouted: "Tiger squat cannon shooting!" ”
"Horn flute blowing suona!"
The two suona hands blew the ugly suona at the same time, and the sound spread across the front line over the soldiers.
The twenty tiger squatting cannons in front of the Wendeng camp thundered at the same time, and the eight-tael gunpowder turned into brilliant red flames and thick white smoke, and a total of 1,000 small projectiles of one or two weights and 20 iron bullets were poured on the two-hundred-pace-wide Houjin Front. Layers of lead bullets rushed out of the muzzle, slowly dispersed, like dense raindrops crashed into one shield after another, easily breaking through the cowhide and plank, turning into a flat piece, like a hammer smashed into the armor of the armor behind the shield.
The front row of Houjin was like a bush blown by a strong wind, hundreds of armor soldiers fell in unison, countless blood arrows spurted out of their bodies, and countless screams sounded at the same time, and the sudden blow made the other armor soldiers mess up, and the complete shield line was shattered.
Tak Tan opened his mouth wide, the sharp ringing in his ears made him unable to hear the panicked howls around him, he looked at the struggling armor soldiers in front of him in a pool of blood in horror, these battle-hardened elites came across thousands of miles, they were so weak in front of the cheap lead, the qiē in front of him had shattered all the beliefs he had established since his entrance, and the other armor soldiers around him were also affected by this huge blow, and the array had stagnated.
Before the roar in Taktan's ears disappeared, there was a long sound of a swan from the horn on the opposite side, and Taktan was deeply impressed by the sound before the musket was fired, and subconsciously lowered his body.
The opposite breastwork immediately erupted into more violent flames than at the beginning, the rear row of musketeers held the combined machine guns in the gap of the front row, the front and rear two rows of arquebusiers three hundred combined guns aimed at the Jiannu fifty paces away to set fire, more than a hundred people fell on the broken array, the flying blood mist sprinkled on the face of Tak Tan, he didn't have time to wipe it, his mind was blank, looking blankly at the opposite side, the low wall had been completely submerged in thick white smoke.
The sound of the explosion is still endless, the turtledove's foot phalanx on both sides is a group of ten people, quickly rotating the salvo, the turtledove's foot gun is indestructible, several people are hit in each salvo, under the continuous blow, Jiannu's front has been in chaos, Jiannu's Chinese army does not seem to have reacted, has not issued any orders.
The Chinese army in the Wendeng camp sounded twice and waved the horn, and the killer teams arranged in the vertical formation were all spread out into four rows of horizontal formations, and the firearms teams that had finished shooting all retreated to the back row.
The military drum in the Wenden camp slowly sounded, and the first row of killers began to advance, and together they pushed down the breastwork and crossed their own line, and the three reserve teams behind them also began to move forward at the same time. At this time, the Turtledove Gun phalanx had completed the cover shooting, and the firearms team was all quiet, busy loading ammunition, and after loading, they would also move forward, and only the drums and the screams of Jiannu were left on the front line.
More than 600 killer soldiers pierced out of the white smoke and appeared in front of the chaotic front of Jiannu, the black armor was inlaid in the white background, which was particularly conspicuous, and the Chinese army of Jiannu also sounded the big drum, and the officers at all levels shouted orders, so that the soldiers were ready to fight, they never thought that the Ming army would dare to fight hand-to-hand, this strange army had completely subverted their concept, all the soldiers were not psychologically prepared for this, since the Hunhe, they once again felt fear in front of a Ming army.
The Chinese military drums of the Wenden camp became tighter and tighter, and the array of the killer team began to accelerate, and they still subconsciously maintained a neat pace as they did during training, making a roaring sound of footsteps.
They soon approached thirty paces, and the scattered arrows were shot from Jiannu's side, because of the confusion, most of them had no chance to shoot arrows, and they had to prepare for the hand-to-hand combat that would come soon, when they had the last advantage in their beliefs.
A horn sounded, and the six hundred soldiers of the killer squad shouted in unison, "Tiger!" ”。
After three sounds, the drum beat tightened, and the whole line of the Wendeng camp began to trot, the beating nail leaves reflected the morning sun, flashing countless dazzling points of light, the Chinese army drum of the Wendeng camp soon reached the highest frequency, and the killer team maintained a straight and complete front like a wall.
The Houjin army rose up in the howl of the officers, and shouted the same loudly, and the broadswords and spears in the back row were flattened one after another, heading towards the Ming army, their command was already in confusion, some were advancing, some were still in place, and the array became a zigzag shape.
Two black torrents came towards him, Chen Ying stared at a soldier twenty paces away from him, both of them were holding spears, and the soldier suddenly accelerated and rushed over after entering ten steps. Chen Ying did not evade, let out a beastly howl, the spear in his hand stabbed out violently, he and another teammate stabbed the chest of the iron armor of the Houjin pikeman at the same time, the tip of the spear made a piercing steel friction sound, the middle of the spear shaft arched upwards slightly, and the spearhead of the point steel pierced the iron armor through the inertia of the impact, breaking into the chest of the armor soldier, and the wooden spear in the hand of the Houjin soldier stopped in front of Chen Ying.
The fierce-looking armor soldier was pushed back two steps by the two, he dropped the spear in his hand, grabbed the two guns weakly with both hands, spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was distorted beyond recognition, Chen Ying and the two pulled out the spear together, and the armor soldier immediately fell to the ground.
There was a scream next to Chen Ying, and one of their team's palladium boring hands was stabbed in the abdomen with a spear, Chen Ying stepped forward, and the spear quickly stabbed out, killing the pikeman. As soon as he put away his gun, two more sword and shield men rushed out from behind the pikeman, and the two of them held round shields to protect their bodies, and rushed forward with their bows.
Chen Ying quickly raised his right hand high, lowered his left hand, and the spear tip pressed against a shield, which was the standard defensive sword and shield action of the spear, the armor soldier's close-quarters attempt failed, the shield was crooked by the resistance of the spear, he couldn't retract his momentum, he actually turned around and fell to the ground, before he could get up, a spear on the side had already pierced his neck, and after the spear tip was withdrawn, he covered his neck and struggled silently on the ground.
The other sword and shield soldier was not blocked, he bowed his body, and with a hideous face, he used the upper edge of the shield in his left hand to jack the spear shaft, ready to push into the dead corner of the spear, he was an experienced veteran, as long as he entered this distance, the Ming army all turned around and fled, and then he killed them one by one from behind.
He just took a step, a spear in the back row stabbed out from the gap in the front row, stabbed his calf exposed under the round shield, the armor soldier paused, he roared, and slashed the gun shaft below, cutting off the gun shaft, when he swung it, he exposed the right side of the space, a boring palladium attacked, the armor soldier quickly rolled to the side, and when he got up again, he still maintained the posture of the shield forward, he was fierce, regardless of the injury, he continued to attack, a thick knife stick slammed on the shield with the sound of the wind, The big stick with the iron head burst out with a violent force by the inertia of the swing, and the plank of the round shield was smashed to pieces with a "boom", and half of the armor soldier's body was numb, half of his body was shaken, and he couldn't move while he sat on the ground, watching a spear in the back row come towards him......
The killers of the Wendeng battalion were lined up with dense weapons in front of them, with boring palladium and big sticks with the spears of the front and rear rows, and the armored soldiers in front of Jiannu were attacked by several weapons every time, and those who were lucky enough to rush close were also repelled by the big sticks and sword and shield soldiers. Houjin's crippled armored front was simply unable to cope with the attack of both the front and rear rows, and after the first casualties, they began to retreat step by step, and there were no small gaps in many places, revealing the frightened lightly armored archers behind, and in the face of the killer team of heavy armored soldiers, their one-handed swords were powerless to fight back.
Chen Ying was like a raging beast, fiercely attacking every enemy within the range of his spear, and the first Houjin soldier to turn around and flee finally appeared in front of him. Zhong Laosi shouted loudly, waving his flag gun to speed up the attack, and the remaining armor soldiers also began to retreat, and the gap became bigger and bigger.
At this moment, a group of Houjin soldiers in silver-white armor appeared in front of Chen Ying, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves began to sound on both wings.
