"Shoot! Shoot fast! ”
"The Tartars are up, speed up the shot!"
The road between the two brothers Luo Luohun and Karchu was broken by Yue Yang with a small iron thistle, but Ha Feng'a's crazy attack achieved certain results, after losing nearly thirty percent of the soldiers and horses, Ha Feng'a finally commanded the remaining more than 1,000 people to approach to a distance of less than thirty steps from the Ming army's array.
At this time, the sky above the Ming military array was already shrouded in a thick layer of white smoke, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke choked almost everyone coughed.
Because the vision was too blurry, the Ming army's musketeers were greatly affected in terms of shooting accuracy and reloading.
A general manager ran to Feng Xiaoming's side and shouted at the top of his voice: "My lord, our firearms are too fast, and some of the barrels have already turned red. ”
"No way!" Feng Xiaoming shouted at the top of his voice: "The Tartars are about to press up, if you slow down the shooting degree, they will rush to us in a few breaths, and then it will be trouble!" ”
"Your Excellency...... The Tartars are rushing up! ”
As soon as Feng Xiaoming's words fell, someone next to him shouted loudly. Feng Xiaoming turned his head and saw that on the right side of the phalanx, there were already seven or eight Tartar horse armor soldiers who had advanced to the front of the phalanx with the help of the cover of shields, rushed into the phalanx and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with several firecrackers.
"Quick, drive those Tartars out, and we must not let them disrupt our phalanx!"
Seeing such a situation, Feng Xiaoming's eyes suddenly turned red. The advantage of the Ming army lies in the sharpness of firearms. The advantage of the Tartars lies in their proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, in which the Ming army trained no matter how young they were to train. The Tartars who have been fighting on the battlefield for seven or eight years are beautiful.
If the Tartars were allowed to break into the phalanx, it would be equivalent to attacking the enemy's strength with their own shortness, and the losses would be great.
"Kill!"
A heavily armored Houjin horse armor soldier rushed out from behind a wooden shield and rushed into the Ming army like a whirlwind. He held a small round shield in his left hand, and brandished a long knife in his right hand, but with a single knife, he slashed at the shoulder of a Ming army gunner, and with a loud "bang", the firecracker shook a few times, took a few steps back, and sat on the ground.
Although the firecracker was cut to the ground. But the fierce face of the vest also showed a look of surprise. In his impression, in the past, if other Ming soldiers had dealt with his sword, this Ming army gunner would definitely have ended up with broken armor, broken bones and tendons, but he didn't expect that he just looked at it with a knife and felt like a knife on the iron, and the other party was just knocked to the ground by himself, and he was not fatally injured.
Just before he could think about it, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. He hurriedly waved the small round shield in his hand to block it. Only a "dang" sound was heard, and the bayonet of one of the musketeers had already stabbed his round shield with a crisp sound.
"Kill!"
Before the vest soldier could come to his senses, two more firecrackers stabbed at him with firearms, their black-gray bayonets flashing with the cold light of the forest. The vest soldier tried to dodge his body and let go of the bayonet on the left, but the bayonet on the right did not dodge. He only felt a chill pass through the corner of his eye, then a cold sensation in his neck, followed by a tingling pain, and then his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.
One of the musketeers withdrew his bayonet, and the heavy body of the vest soldier fell to the ground like a sack. It's just that the firecracker hasn't had time to rejoice. An arrow shot lightning onto the mask, making a "clang" sound. The sturdy visor made of stainless steel flashed a spark and sunk into contact with the arrowhead, and the firecracker immediately fell to the ground on his back, dead or alive.
Not far away, a Houjin archer in cotton armor showed his figure behind a shield cart, and when he saw that he had shot down a Ming soldier, he immediately drew another arrow from the arrow magazine behind him, aimed it at another Ming soldier, and opened his bow.
It has to be said that his movements are very fast, but he has no chance to shoot a second arrow, and a few sounds like fried beans sounded, and a large hole was opened in the lower abdomen of the archer, and a stream of blood mixed with blue-gray intestines gushed out of the big hole. Because he was shot in the abdomen, the archer did not die in the first place, and the great pain made him throw away the longbow in his hand and fall to the ground in the first time, wailing and rolling, because the intestines had flowed out of the stomach, so when he rolled, the blue-gray intestines were also dragged to the ground, like a long and ugly earthworm squirming.
Yue Yang naturally saw the news that the front row of the phalanx had been broken through, he took a deep breath, and ordered the herald beside him: "Order the phalanx behind to move forward, replace the two phalanxes in front, and then order the baggage troops to use 10,000 enemies to block the enemy!" ”
"Yes!"
"Knock knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
The twelve big drums behind Yue Yang began to sound rhythmically, and after hearing the sound of the drums, the firecrackers of the two phalanxes behind began to trot all the way to the back of the two phalanxes in front and began to prepare to take over the two phalanxes in front and retreat.
At the same time, a group of about 400 baggage soldiers also began to enter the battlefield. The first row of 200 heavy soldiers began to move forward slowly with a heavy shield made of stainless steel, and the second row of 200 heavy soldiers with a heavy cloth bag hanging from their waists and a torch in their left hand followed closely behind the heavy soldiers holding heavy shields.
At this time, the battle in the front of the phalanx had begun to become fierce, and the Houjin soldiers continued to break into the formation, while the firecrackers kept driving them out.
However, due to the fact that the Houjin soldiers were so strong in fighting, the firecrackers often had to pay a great price to kill them, and if it weren't for the fact that these firecrackers were wearing the Goethe's armor with amazing defensive power that Yue Yang had obtained from modern times, the casualties of the firecrackers would definitely be so great that they could not bear Yueyang.
But even so, the battle was still very difficult, the guns in their hands had begun to heat red due to the frequent shooting of the guns, and there were several explosions, so Feng Xiaoming had to order the guns to stop shooting and fight hand-to-hand with bayonets and Houjin soldiers.
The arrival of the baggage soldiers greatly relieved Feng Xiaoming's pressure, and the heavy steel shield with a face that was half a person tall could withstand most of the flying arrows after being erected.
After the heavy shields were erected, an officer of the baggage battalion hurriedly shouted: "Quick, throw your hand forward, turn the cup and throw ten thousand enemies!" ”
With the issuance of one order after another, the baggage soldiers behind also began to move forward, only to see that their right hand turned over the cloth bag around their waists, and took out a swarthy thing from it, the head of this thing was cylindrical like the size of an adult's fist, the tail was the handle of a wooden pole, and a white fuse rope was on the side.
I saw that these baggage soldiers brought the fire rope to the torch, and the fire rope quickly lit up, and there was a "whoosh" sound, and then these baggage soldiers threw the things in their hands towards the front of the formation.
At the same time, nearly two hundred black things that were still braving sparks rained down in front of Houjin's array.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As the black dot landed, it was followed by bursts of explosions sounding more than thirty paces away, and these explosions were so loud. The explosion was accompanied by puffs of smoke. This was followed by screams from the Houjin soldiers' attacking ranks.
What was thrown over by those baggage soldiers was the Ming Dynasty version of the grenade specially built by Yueyang, these things have also been Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty people called it "ten thousand enemies".
It's just that the gunpowder manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty was too poor, and this Ming Dynasty version of the grenade was too heavy, so the Ming army generally only used it when defending the city. Later, Yue Yang found the most suitable formula for black powder, and after several years, he controlled the weight of this ten thousand enemies to about two catties.
Although compared with modern grenades, this "10,000 enemies" is not only about twice as heavy, but also incomparable in power with those grenades loaded with nT high explosives, but this is also a helpless thing, after all, the gap in science and technology cannot be made up in a short time.
It's just that although Yue Yang produced this kind of throwing weapon, but today is the first time it has been applied on a large scale on the battlefield, after all, in this kind of large-scale operation, throwing this kind of 10,000 enemies is not a good way, nearly two catties of dangerous objects can only be thrown to a distance of about twenty steps, and one will hurt his own people if he is not careful, so in the weekday battle, this thing is almost forgotten by Yue Yang himself, if the situation is not endangered today, Yue Yang will not let those heavy soldiers take this risk.
But what Zero Yueyang didn't expect was that the Houjin soldiers, who had never seen this kind of attack, were actually stunned. As 10,000 enemies fell in the enemy's ranks, the sound of explosions continued to sound, and many Houjin soldiers who were originally swarming and were about to rush over were blown up in the bursts of explosions.
"Boom ......"
A 10,000-strong enemy exploded next to a shield cart, and the shield cart made of thick wooden planks was transformed into an explosion, and the two archers who had been hiding behind it to shoot arrows at the Ming army also lost their lives.
"Okay, just throw it like that, blow him up a shit!"
Due to the suddenness of the explosion, the Houjin soldiers suffered heavy casualties and the attack was forced to stop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two phalanxes in the back also took the opportunity to replace the two phalanxes in front.
Two thousand fresh troops came on the field, Feng Xiaoming also raised his eyebrows a lot, and soon bursts of gunfire immediately sounded on the phalanx.
The Ming army, which had recovered the degree of shooting, was defeated for a while, and the Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties......
