Chapter 183: Field Slaughter
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Yang Mingzheng led the men and horses, frantically pursued, and wantonly slashed, in his eyes, the rogue was a group of lambs, not worth mentioning. The more you kill, the crazier you get, the more proud you become.
But at this moment, there were many brightly clad and unscrupulous cavalrymen in the distance, who were investigating their situation. Yang Ming didn't know what kind of army the other party was from, so he just beckoned his subordinates to rush forward frantically.
Guan Ningjun roared, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the snowy saber was raised high, which was particularly terrifying. At this moment, a terrifying scene appeared, only to see that the other party suddenly took out a firearm, more than thirty steps away, knocked the trigger, the smoke rose, and the cavalry of the Guanning Army fell off their horses as if they had been electrocuted.
It seemed that the other party was not too happy, and after a shot, he immediately changed to another firearm, and the gunshots rang out, and a cloud of blood splashed on his chest. Two or three layers of armor may be useful in the face of the sword, but in front of the fire, it becomes vulnerable.
Even the best cotton armor is lined with metal sheets and copper nails on the outside, but after being hit by lead shots, even if the armor does not penetrate, the huge kinetic energy is directly transmitted to the flesh and blood.
A strong impact can easily break the muscles and bones and damage the internal organs. Guan Ningjun, who were shot, opened their mouths one after another, and blood arrows mixed with internal organs were scattered in front of the horse. The man fell hard under the horse, twitching, and lost the last of his vitality.
Yang Ming saw this scene from afar, and his jaw suddenly dropped, he didn't see the other party's fire rope burning, and he raised his hand directly to the gun, which was really unacceptable!
In fact, this is just that Yang Ming is rare and strange, and the An** scout uses a self-generated fire gun. Gu Zhenhua brought out a lot of self-generated firearms from the capital. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the right attendant of Nanjing's household department, Bi Maokang, made a self-made firebolt, and replaced the arquebus with a flint bolt, which is the earliest flint gun in our country that is recorded.
The flint gun is driven by a trigger through a guò spring to drive a hammer to hit the flint flakes. The sharp friction between the tongguò and the flint flakes caused the sparks to ignite the gunpowder, so it was not necessary to drag a long lit fire rope during battle, like the arquebus, which could not be used in rainy days, and the light of the fire rope could easily expose the shooter at night.
There was no doubt that this was a huge step forward, but due to the deterioration of the Ming Dynasty's finances at the time, it was unable to promote it. Moreover, the number of fires made is too small, and many ills have not been solved, and these self-generated fires are not yet mature. It is also very difficult to manufacture.
The most important thing is a strong spring, which is quite difficult to produce, and when it is excited, it requires a lot of force. As a result, aiming is affected.
Gu Zhenhua also asked Ge Craftsman to study hard. Do your best to produce a suitable self-generated fire. Of course, the existing self-generated fire guns can't be wasted, and after passing through the equipment, they are directly equipped with night elite soldiers.
Galloping on horseback, there was obviously no time to light the arquebus, and the self-made fire became the most suitable weapon. Each cavalry was equipped with three, and there were as many as forty or fifty cavalry for a dozen cavalry, and they easily killed more than two dozen cavalrymen, and then they retreated triumphantly. Yang Ming didn't dare to send someone to chase after him.
"Go, check it out for me. Whose troops exactly? ”
The scouts of the Guan Ning army were also dispatched, and they saw the banner of An ** from a distance, and the flags were waving, like a sea of red. In the middle of the many flags, a big flag more than three zhang high, embroidered with the golden Gu character, waving in the wind, is extraordinarily conspicuous.
Quiet**!
Yang Ming also hit a thunderbolt in his mind, it was only a few months, and the tragic lesson of Shanhaiguan was still vivid. Wu Sangui was shot by Gu Zhenhua with a bow and arrow, and lost two of his front teeth, a good heroic general, was completely disfigured.
And what makes Guan Ningjun even more heartbroken is that Jingguan! They shudder at the thought of it. Although from Wu Sangui to every soldier, they constantly told themselves that the surrender of the Qing Dynasty was in accordance with the number of days, and those who knew the times were Junjie, and they did not make any mistakes.
But this kind of self-deception still did not convince themselves, and there was another powerful voice in their hearts that kept warning them that betraying the country and joining the enemy is a traitor!
"General, what do you think we should do?"
"What else can I do, kill, defeat them, our Guan Ning army is fearless, wash away the shame with blood, kill Gu Zhenhua, and annihilate An**!"
Yang Ming roared frantically, and Guan Ningjun immediately prepared for battle. Yang Ming brought a total of more than 5,000 subordinates, all cavalry, of which more than 2,000 were elite in armor.
It stands to reason that these horses are enough to defeat tens of thousands of infantry. However, Yang Ming still didn't dare to be careless, he first let the cavalry clash back and forth, making the dust big, the smoke and dust were filled, and the people shouted and neighed, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, and the momentum was very terrifying.
This kind of bluff may be okay to deal with others, but it is too bad to deal with An **, Yue Poyu and they are all from Guan Ningjun, and they are all from Guan Ningjun, and they are very clear about these little tricks, and they don't bother to respond at all.
"Grandpa Guo, let's recuperate, wait for them to make enough fuss and have no strength, and then go clean up these scum!"
Gu Zhenhua stood on the tall command platform, this command platform is made of two partial vans, one zhang high, and there is a solid roof on it, which can resist arrows.
"The whole army sits down, the scouts remain vigilant, and then tell sù high ambitions, the time has come for the artillery to show their skills, seize the opportunity, give me a good bomb!"
"Yes!"
The herald went down immediately, and after waiting for half an hour, Yang Ming and the others had enough tossing, so they rushed towards An **.
After the last fiasco, Wu Sangui also learned from the pain and pondered a lot of ways to deal with the firecrackers. A very important reason for the fiasco last time was that the troops were increased in batches and the tactics of adding fuel were carried out, and as a result, they were calmly eliminated.
Therefore, this time Yang Ming learned his lesson and threw the main force at one time, with five hundred elite armored soldiers in front, responsible for the impact, and the archers followed, mainly to attract fire from the front. Once the two sides fall into a melee, the follow-up troops will immediately disperse, use the advantage of cavalry and archery, attack the two flanks of An**, and finally break through the entire formation.
An ** perfected his tactics, Guan Ningjun was not idle, and this pair of old enemies met again on the battlefield.
The war horse is soaring and the tiger is leaping, the knight is fierce and abnormal, and the cavalry that has dominated the war for thousands of years has once again revealed its hideous nature, and the horse's head is like a flood that bursts the embankment, rushing forward, like a broken bamboo.
Facing the Guan Ning Army this time, the people at the front are no longer all veterans. Gu Zhenhua is becoming more and more precious to the veterans under him, according to his assumption, these veterans no longer need to be used as consumables, they should be like Napoleon's old guards, acting as the most critical strategic reserve force.
When the veteran is dispatched, it is the time to decide the victory or defeat! It's just that the recruits are not mature at the moment, so Gu Zhenhua arranged one battalion of veterans and two battalions of recruits at the front, using the old to lead the new, so that the recruits can mature quickly.
Looking at the sweeping cavalry, the veterans did not have any fear, and there was a relaxed expression on their faces, while the recruits were much worse, although they were still standing straight, but their muscles were tense, and their palms were sweaty, and they obviously had quite fear.
"Brothers, don't worry, the sky is falling, and the artillery brothers will take it first!" Xie Bin smiled and comforted the big guy.
Sure enough, as the Guanning army approached little by little, the artillery commanded by Gao Hongtu was ready for battle. The last time we dealt with Zukefa, the artillery only had all the same tiger squat cannons, but this time it was different, and fifteen Franc bronze cannons had just been shipped from Guide.
These guns weigh far more than tiger squatting guns, so they are equipped with special sports cars, and the combat effectiveness depends on this time!
Guan Ning's army quickly entered a distance of five hundred paces, and at this distance, the artillery sprinkled a lot of thistle terrestris in advance to delay the enemy's army, but seeing that Guan Ning's army rushed through quickly, and few people were hit, Gao Hongtu's face was a little gloomy.
Three hundred and fifty steps!
Ideal attack range!
"Shoot!"
A burst of cannonballs roared, and the charging cavalry saw dazzling firelight flashing in front of them, and a large group of white eyes rose into the air, and then saw fiery iron balls spinning and smashing towards them.
The medium-sized Francophone cannon fired a shell slightly larger than an adult's fist, and the high-spinning iron ball would tear it out of a huge bloody hole, leaving no hope of survival. What's even more terrifying is that the tall cannonballs will bounce and roll on the hard ground, and most of them will not die, but the injuries will be miserable.
Fifteen iron balls split the face, and the cavalry of the Guanning Army was densely packed, although there were several horse positions separated from the front and back, the left and right sides, but they could not stand the large number of people, and there were still five cannonballs that directly hit the horses.
A cannonball directly smashed the head of a general flag into the air, and his body in three layers of heavy armor was still galloping with the war horse, and his headless neck was like a fountain of large strands of blood. His body twitched, blood spilled all the way, and it took a long time for the headless body to fall with a bang, splashing dust on the ground.
An iron ball directly punched a huge blood hole in the body of a galloping war horse, and the war horse neighed, and a horse stumbled in front of it, directly throwing the knight on his back several meters away. Before the knight could stand up, he was struck by a horse rushing up behind him, and then trampled to pulp by the rolling cavalry.
A large force of cavalry charged. Especially in the case of letting the horse run wildly, the most fearful thing is to fall off the horse, and the knight behind him will not show mercy to their subordinates in order to control the horse's momentum, and directly rush up and bump into it, and the fate of the knight who falls off the horse is to be trampled into flesh.
Under the first round of shelling, the Guanning army paid a lot of casualties, more than 20 people were killed, and more than a dozen people were wounded.
Gu Zhenhua held the binoculars and looked at it carefully, with a smug expression on his face, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it is not an opponent of firearms!
"Kill, kill all these traitors!" (To be continued......)
