Chapter 751: Trial Attack

After the roar of artillery, nearly 100,000 horses on the battlefield immediately fell silent, only looking at the wreckage of the battlefield that had been cut off half of their bodies. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until the wreckage fell to the ground that he reacted, Yu Siqiang was also a popular figure in Datong Town, and he was a popular candidate for deputy general and general soldier, and many of the generals in Datong Town knew him, this time, whether it was in the formation of the Huwei Army or in the army of Jizhen, there were generals sent by Datong Town to coordinate, and they all recognized Yu Siqiang.

Seeing that this person was shamelessly talking about "King Shunyi" there, everyone believed in it with itchy teeth, and with a thunderbolt, the remaining four were shattered, quieted down, and suddenly thunderous cheers sounded.

The two armies fought against each other, and the Ming army had already won in morale, and it could be seen that under the golden banner, several cavalry ran towards the army.

These cavalrymen were carrying banners, which were the herald cavalry of the Tartars, and wherever they ran, the queue moved with them.

"Knock knock" The cowhide drum sounded, and from the ranks of the Tartar cavalry, there were cavalry columns, these cavalry out of the battle looked nothing special, even weaker than those in front of the formation, and the equipment looked tattered.

There were nearly 1,000 horsemen on the left and right, and nearly 3,000 horsemen in the middle, and these 3,000 horsemen could clearly be seen to be much more elite.

This kind of combination makes people feel quite stunned, but for the Ming army's car battalion, the enemy attack is the best way to fight, and let the enemy hit his head in front of firearms and bows and arrows.

As soon as the drums stopped, they rang out a few times, and the Tartar cavalry who came out of the battle shouted, and the movements moved forward in unison, and the generals in the Ming army array all gave loud orders to let the soldiers get ready.

The cavalry queue between the Jizhen army formation and the Huwei army army also began to move forward slowly, and the cavalry placed in the formation by the Tartars looked the most elite, and it seemed that it was against the horse team of the Ming army, and there must be a fierce battle.

"Great commander, the Tartars have soldiers out again, just after the horse team that went out first."

The soldiers on the watchtower shouted, Wang Tong frowned, let the guards who watched him come down, and went up by himself, and sure enough, the three teams of cavalry that went out of the battle first, except for the middle team, there were cavalry behind the other two teams, following behind.

The three teams of cavalry that came out of the battle could still be neck and neck at the beginning, but later, it became that the middle team was behind, and the other two teams were in front.

In Wang Tong's position, he could vaguely see that the formation of the two teams of cavalry was a little scattered, and it was only a few hundred paces away, how could the Tartar cavalry, who were good at horsemanship, not be able to control the formation.

"Tiger Squat Cannon Check Lead"

"Put a pound of guns on the cart, and adjust the angle of the rest of the guns, and tell the leaders of the coachmen to take care of the cattle and horses, or else ......"

The artillery team Baihu Muen and the general banner Zhang Wu shouted in front of the array, the space in the formation was not so spacious, and horseback riding was not allowed, but the artillery team was a special case, and the heavy artillery was dragged, and the two artillery attachés were running back and forth on horseback, ordering everywhere.

"Musketeers, archers get on the board, get ready"

"The spearmen stepped forward to prepare according to their carts, and they had to move quickly, the mutton has been full these days, why don't you have the strength, hurry up"

The generals everywhere were shouting orders, and Wang Tong pondered for a while, and immediately leaned out from the watchtower and shouted:

"Mu En, the artillery is only allowed to use one pound of cannons, and the enemy cavalry enters the range of the firearms, and then fires ten tiger squat cannons."

Hearing Wang Tong's order, Mu En, who was still supervising on horseback, was stunned, and the reins were pulled suddenly, and the person almost fell off the horse, he looked at Wang Tong on the watchtower, and saw Wang Tong's cautious face, only to know that he had heard correctly.

The effective firing range of a catty cannon is only 120 steps, and the damage is not large, the tiger squat cannon is to shoot the elixir, and the emphasis is on the enemy entering 30 steps before firing, such a shot, the effective range of the fire gun is 80 to 90 steps, and there is no way to kill and injure the enemy if you fire within this distance.

However, a military order is a military order, Mu En and Zhang Wu almost roared the order, and the artillery soldiers who heard these orders were all stunned, and they didn't know why at all.

In the blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Tartar cavalry had already arrived, and when it was one hundred and fifty or sixty paces away, a low artillery roar had begun to sound on the side of Jizhen.

There are Franc cannons on the side vans, and the range of this kind of light cannon is not far, about one pound or one and a half pounds of metal projectiles to shoot about 150 to 200 steps.

One hundred and fifty steps of internal shooting, this is considered an effective range, although the two positions are very far apart, but can still clearly hear the screams of the Tartar cavalry, Wang Tong in this position actually saw these Tartar cavalry front team rushing towards the Huwei army array, and he was actually panicked.

And the team opposite the Ming army horse team, is almost moving forward, they are so, the Ming army horse team is naturally cautious, Ma Sanbiao's side of the flag bearer's flag is always straight to the sky, this is a signal to stay still.

"Open the gun"

It was as if the cowhide drum was beaten, and the light artillery under the pound on the cart was fired one after another, and the shells of the light artillery could even see the trajectory of his whistling and gliding, and the Tartar formation that rushed over was already chaotic, and in some places the people were densely concentrated, and in some places it was loose.

Even if the Ming army only has bows and arrows, such a charging formation is ridiculous, the loose side is fine, the dense side will inevitably be strengthened, and the second wave of attacks will be concentrated in this direction.

Hit by a cannonball, the horse fell directly to the ground, the cavalry fell directly from the horse, the density of the artillery was limited after all, a group of people fell, and more people still rushed to the front.

Rather, the tiger squat cannon was fired in the gap between the carts, and although the clouds of smoke exploded, there was no damage, and within a hundred paces, the firecrackers and archers on the carts could already see the distorted faces of these cavalrymen, and their deep fear and panic.

Most of the firecrackers were veterans, and many of them had participated in the battles outside Xuanfu and Gubeikou, and the Tatar cavalry they faced, especially those who rushed to the front, often had excitement on their faces, rampant, crazy, and even indifference, but there were few such fears and panics.

Charging into battle is something that only elite cavalry can do, and if you panic, you may run away halfway through the repetition, which will even affect the battle of your teammates and those behind you.

In front of them, these cavalry have already escaped and escaped, but in the state of charging, if you want to turn the mounts that have already run, the end will be very miserable, these mounts that don't look very strong often fall directly to the ground, and the cavalry on their backs will fall to the ground.

Even if some people were lucky enough to run out of the array, they would be shot directly by the elite cavalry in the middle.

Although they are wrong, the enemy is the enemy, and the firecrackers of the Huwei Army will not be soft-hearted, ninety steps...... At eighty paces, the Tartars' vanguard cavalry had already broken into range.

"Fire"

With the shouts of the generals, a dense firecracker-like firecracker firecracker rang out, and the Tatar cavalry charging forward seemed to be blown by a metal storm, and the men and horses were all planted on the ground.

On the side of Jizhen, there were also guns and cannons, bird guns, three-eyed guns, Franc machine guns, and tiger squat cannons, all of which were fired, and the cavalry who rushed to their side all fell to the ground screaming.

Shooting with firearms on the cart, because the space on the cart is limited, there can only be two rows of firecrackers on the cart, and the rest of the firecrackers can only stand by under the cart, because there is a process of getting on the carriage from below, the shooting cannot form an uninterrupted round fire, and the cavalry has more opportunities to rush to the front.

The Huwei army is still like this, and the firearms on the side of Jizhen will be interrupted, so the foot soldiers armed with spears, knives and axes are ready to start hand-to-hand combat with the wooden wall as a barrier at any time.

But the Tartars who rushed up this time were really not worth mentioning, and by the time they were fifty paces away, their courage seemed to have been exhausted, and the mass death of their companions gave them plenty of room to maneuver, and the horses were reduced to the point where they could turn.

Some of the Tartars were crying, some were screaming like crazy, and they turned away, and the firecrackers of the Tiger Army saw this sight, and some even forgot to shoot in astonishment, and the same was true of the needlework on the other side of Thistle.

The smoke and chaos made everyone confused, and the generals in the two positions were shouting loudly and scolding loudly, so that the soldiers could react from their stunned moments as soon as possible and be ready for battle.

The targets of the musketeers and artillerymen were inclined towards the middle, because the very calm Tartar cavalry team over there was still moving forward slowly, and there were still two hundred paces away from the two military formations, and they were confronting the Ming army's horse team, and they did not see any intention of attacking.

"Woo~~~" The long horn sounded, and the Tartar cavalry in the middle turned around and began to retreat backwards, which also made the people stunned

"....... Wansheng...... Wan Sheng"

There were already bursts of cheers from the Ji soldiers' position, although the enemy who came this time was strange, but the corpses lying there were real, and the victory was a great boost, and everyone was uplifted.

The atmosphere on Huweijun's side was also high-spirited, and before they could cheer, Wang Tong ordered loudly from the watchtower:

"Muen, the artillery team is all ready, what are you happy about, this is just the beginning"

"Venerable Pullik, the firearms in the position of Jizhen on the left are as far as two hundred paces, and the Ming Forbidden Arms on the right can be as far as one hundred and fifty paces."

Several generals were surrounded by a bearded man with a golden helmet, who could wear a golden helmet in the Mongol tribes, and only the king of Khan and his immediate relatives, this was the eldest son of the monk Guleng, the first son of the monk Guleng who was thirty-five years old.

Rick groaned and said in a deep voice:

"Three hundred steps away from the Jizhen Front...... Although the forbidden army fought not far, but for the sake of safety, it was also three hundred steps away, and those wastes that fled were all caught, and they will be used later."
