"Smack!"

"Push!"

The whip was whipped, and the shouting began. The Mongols who were in charge of supervising the sand shield car shouted one after another: "Quick, push!" ”

Liu Minzhong didn't care about the hot pain on his back, gritted his teeth and continued to push the shield cart forward with all his might.

The shield cart slowly rolled forward, pulling out a long wave.

This time Kublai Khan made Saidianchi. There were more than 200 sand shield vehicles built by Gan Siding, although they withstood the strong firepower of the Northern Ming Army, but ...... Due to the appearance of these sand shield carts, the Mongol cavalry was of little use. Because the route of the cavalry charge has been blocked by the sand shield car and the artillery car.

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry is now being tossed into the Mongolian Cavalry Infantry!

"My experience of watching the battle in Liujia Market Town is that the time when I relied on cavalry to dominate the world has passed. The thieves' big guns and heavenly thunder can not only kill and injure cavalry, but also frighten horses and disrupt the cavalry formation. And their steel armor was able to restrain cavalry and shoot, so that the bows and arrows of the Great Mongols lost their power. Without the power of the bow and arrow, our Mongolian cavalry was left with only one way to chisel through the formation. And the spears of the thieves restrained the cavalry from charging into battle. And if I want to reverse the unfavorable situation against the Ming thief, I can't rest on my laurels and don't know how to be flexible. For today's plan, only by changing the ride to the foot, using more chariot formations, firearms, iron armor, and spears, can we defeat the enemy! ”

Kublai Khan rode on his horse and watched his sand shield cart slowly advance, although some of the sand shield carts were damaged, but the huge body and purse were piled together, which could still play a role in blocking the shells. can't help but proudly show off to the left and right generals.

Kublai Khan must have been a king who had the courage to change, and in history he was called the emperor and practiced Han law. The old rules of Mongolian patriarchy were changed, and even the Mongolian script formulated during the time of Genghis Khan was reformed. It can be seen that there are no rules and regulations in his thinking. I have to keep the old Mongolian system and not change it. It will not be like the Qing Dynasty in later generations, when a crow was made, the British used a Western-style army to beat their heads all over the place. Twenty years later, when the Anglo-French army came, Monk Greenqin still used horseback archery to deal with it......

Such a granite-like stubborn head, Kublai Khan did not have!

Therefore, after he found that the traditional Mongolian archery of archery and horse riding could no longer deal with the cannons and steel armor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, he immediately set about reform.

Now the use of chariot formations, bronze guns, and dismounted foot combat against the cannons and steel armor of the Northern Ming is just the beginning, and there will be more military reforms later.

"What? with chariots, firearms, iron armor, spears...... Is this still a Mongol? ”

The old prince is very unconvinced, he is a marksman praised by Genghis Khan!

Kublai Khan snorted coldly: "I used a chariot array, a fire gun, an iron armor, and a spear...... We Mongolians have a future! Otherwise, it will be Han in the future! ”

However, Kublai Khan ignored a fundamental aspect, that is, this military revolution needs to be backed by a strong economic foundation! It's not that you can just make do with some small copper guns in the cottage, build hundreds of wooden carts and pile some sandbags on them.

In order to win the support of the Mongols under his command, Kublai Khan had to kill chickens and eggs. did not hesitate to destroy the production of Hebei and Henan in order to squeeze a one-time windfall......

When the Mongols' sand shield chariot formation slowly approached the artillery position of the Northern Ming Army, the artillery of the Northern Ming Army began to burst out with real destructive power.

Shells hit the shield cart with precision, shattering the planks and sometimes sending the sandbags behind the planks flying. The huge impact force often breaks the unreliable wheels of the Shadun car, causing the vehicle to overturn.

Kublai Khan's face gradually became difficult to look at, because the number of sand shield vehicles that were still moving before became fewer and fewer, and gradually only a few dozen were still barely moving forward. And with the sand shield cars lying on their stomachs one after another, the artillery vehicles and infantry following the sand shield cars were also exposed to the fire of the Ming army.

And. Tachar's soldiers also issued tattered spears to all Han Ding Zhuang who had "lost their jobs" due to the damage of the sand shield cart, and told them to use them as cannon fodder in front. And these Ding Zhuang were very afraid of the cannon, and when they heard the sound of the cannon, they would fall to the ground and lie on their stomachs for a while. After making sure that the cannonball or thunder arrow is flying overhead, he is willing to get up and continue to move forward.

The sand shield cart pushed by Liu Min had also fallen apart, and a fierce Mongolian handed him a broken gun with a straight barrel.

"A penny man. Work hard for the Great Khan and finish this battle. You're ready to go home! ”

Go home? Still a home?

Liu Minzhong took the wooden spear and glanced at the Mongolian with a gloomy and cold look.

"What? What do you want? The Mongol roared. Do you want to rebel? ”

"No, don't dare to ......" Liu Minzhong hurriedly suppressed his anger and said with a panicked face. But in his heart, he was thinking: "The emperor is surrounded by traitors like you, and the country of Dayuan will be ruined sooner or later!" It seems that Xu Ziyuan's thoughts are still right......"

……

"This ...... Is it a positional war? Chen Dexing, who was looking at the tower, also looked at the battlefield intently, and this kind of fighting style was also the first time he had seen it. About 200 sand shield vehicles were paralyzed one by one, forming one bunker after another on the battlefield, but blocking the long-range fire of the Ming army's artillery fire. If the Mongols used these bunkers as a starting position and launched a night attack in small groups, it would be more difficult to deal with.

"Big brother, big brother, the Mongols have charged with the Han Ding Zhuang to cover the artillery cart!"

Chen Qianyi's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Chen Dexing's thoughts. Chen Dexing hurriedly raised the binoculars to take a look, and sure enough, this was the case.

Two or three thousand Han Chinese, dressed in tattered clothes, armed with wooden guns, were forced forward by the Mongol archers, and the ranks scattered into a large area. Behind them, there were hundreds of hand-pushed artillery carriages, and they were not scattered, but concentrated in the middle of the battle line, that is, directly opposite the Guards Infantry Division. If the Guards Rifle Division had fought back, then these artillery trucks would have opened fire right away!

"Quick, hurry up and order the infantry not to attack! Scatter them with cannons! ”

Chen Dexing was followed by the soldiers who were waving the flag, and immediately waved the flag to give the order to the front. But at this moment, the three division commanders on the front line had already issued combat orders, and Yu Bao, Guo Kan, and Zhu Sijiu did not let the infantry charge, but sent crossbowmen up -- all of them were unarmored crossbowmen, recruits who joined the "Daimyo Reorganization Army" during the "Daimyo Reorganization Army". The "Daimyo Consolidation Army" was carried out based on the experience of the Battle of Liujiajizhen, and all the brigades were adjusted according to Guo Kan's Yinjia Brigade model.

The number of crossbowmen was reduced to twenty percent of the total number of soldiers and was already in a relatively secondary position. All crossbowmen are no longer armoured, and all are recruits. Veterans are used to strengthen hand-to-hand combat units. In addition, the sword and shield bearers of each brigade also had to serve as grenadiers, and all of them were assigned small thunderbolts to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

"Archers! It's the archers! ”

Desperate screams rang out among the Han Chinese who were forced to charge, all of them without armor or shields, and had no equipment to defend against bows and arrows. Many of them subconsciously wanted to flee, but the Mongols behind them immediately shot them with accurate arrows!

"Rush! Rush with me! ”

Liu Minzhong's mind is sober, and he knows that he can only rush at this moment, not retreat! To retreat is to die...... There is still a chance to rush forward!

He shouted and rushed forward, not looking at anyone around him, no matter how many arrows were shooting in front of him, just bowing his head and rushing forward.

"Hey, there are such warriors among the Han people!" Kublai Khan, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw this scene from the telescope, turned back to An Tong and said, "An Tong, this person is not dead, he can be an official." ”

"Yes." When An Tong agreed. The officer commanding the crossbowmen of the Ming army also waved the red flag in his hand.

"Stretch it!"

There was a sound of bowstrings, and countless feathered arrows were thrown. A perfect parabola was drawn through the air, and then raindrops fell like raindrops in the middle of the charging Han man Ding Zhuang. Immediately there was screaming again and again!

However, among those who were shot with bows and arrows, there was no Liu Minzhong. Because he rushed forward, the rain of arrows fell behind him.

"Rush! Hurry up! ...... same rush as Xu Ziyuan"

Liu Minzhong raised his head and looked ahead, the crossbowmen of the Ming army were not far away!

He dragged his tattered spear and just ran as hard as he could. At this moment, he suddenly saw that the Ming archers in front of him did not know how to panic, some of them were lying on the ground, and some were running around, not at all like a well-trained elite.

What's going on?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard a loud bang in his ears! Not from the front, but from the rear. Then a heart-rending pain came from his right arm, as if a mighty giant struck him with a sledgehammer and broke one of his arms alive!

"Ahh Liu Minzhong screamed and fell to the ground, his left hand subconsciously touched his right arm from the severe pain, but he threw himself into the air, he looked down, but what he saw was a scene that frightened him, half of his right arm was gone, and the remaining arm was still spurting blood.

"It's so cold, it's so cold...... the chill has hit the bone, Liu Minzhong's strength seems to be flowing with the blood, he tried his best to use his left hand to pinch the broken right arm where the severe pain came, and the whole person was groggy and lying on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, resigned to fate.

What broke Liu Minzhong's arm was a three, four, or two heavy lead bullet, and the lead bullet was fired by a small copper cannon mounted on a flatbed car! These artillery carriages were pushed by the Semu soldiers behind the Han Zhuangding who were forced to charge, and when the Ming archers completed a volley, these artillery carriages also rushed to a distance where they could fire. So more than 100 small copper guns opened fire at the same time! The ammunition shot out is also varied, including lead, copper, and iron sand, and the hula is not lively. And in the eyes of those color-eyed people, it doesn't make a difference whether it is the Han Ding Zhuang on the Mongolian side who is in front of them, or the archers of the Ming army, they just mess around, as long as they can kill a few Ming soldiers. After the battle, they dragged the artillery cart and retreated, leaving only a chaotic battlefield. (To be continued......)
