Chapter 758: Listen to my orders to charge forward

Although a trebuchet was intact, most of the operators around it were killed or wounded, and one or two who were lucky enough to survive did not dare to stay here, screaming and fleeing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was already a ignition stone bullet on this trebuchet, and it burned on the lever, and I don't know what ignited on the side, the trebuchet was originally a wooden iron structure, and after a while, the whole trebuchet also burned.

The quality of this trebuchet did not attract the attention of others, and the fire and earth-shattering shouts of killing in the Jizhen position covered everything, and everyone's attention was focused on that side.

Until the second cannon was fired, the trebuchet was such a big target, and more than a dozen of them were lined up over there, even if the accuracy of the artillery was not high, it was not difficult to hit.

The artillery roared, and another trebuchet was hit and collapsed, and the wooden frame was shattered by the shells, and the broken wood flew wildly, which was more powerful than the firearms on the other side of Jizhen.

What's more, the trebuchet is so far away from Jizhen, this side is regarded as an area without any danger, a large number of cavalry are gathered under the trebuchet, and then move forward, not to mention the craftsmen and soldiers who operate the trebuchet, the broken wood exploded, and the people around were penetrated and killed, and immediately fell to a piece.

The momentum of the cannonballs was not diminished by the trebuchet's blockade, and continued to inflict death in the Tartar formation, and when the third cannon fired, another trebuchet fell, and the effect was no different from that of the square......

The sound of artillery sounded again, only the trebuchet was knocked down, and the killing effect was not as good as Fang Cai, whether it was the craftsmen and laborers who operated the trebuchet, or the Tartar cavalry, they were as far away from the trebuchet as possible, and did not dare to approach, so as not to be affected by the artillery.

The diagonal artillery seemed to be more powerful and had a longer range than Fang Cai's artillery, almost penetrating the battlefield between the Tartars and the Jizhen military formations.

This time the sound was not as dense and continuous as on the other side, but the sound was spaced apart, but the trebuchets were knocked down one by one, and the Tartar cavalry avoided it.

The battle line was gradually divided, and the Tartar cavalry who rushed into the Jizhen army formation had no follow-up support, and the roar and screams that sounded behind them made their morale lower and lower, and some people turned back in panic, seeing their comrades retreating and hiding away, and seeing the collapsing trebuchet.

In the middle of the van formation, the fire made the officers and soldiers of Jizhen panic, but it also caused inconvenience to the Tartar cavalry attacking on horseback, and the horses were afraid of the flames and always avoided them.

And in this car formation, the power that Jizhen can use is far greater than the Tartar cavalry that broke in, and the situation has reached such a point, the officers and soldiers of Jizhen, who are a little overwhelmed, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and began to deploy troops and begin to besiege and kill the Tartar cavalry that broke into their formation.

At this time, the sun was already in the west, Wang Tong rode on his horse, looked around, the current battle situation, he didn't need to look at the guards on the tower to report that he knew.

Fang Cai's strangulation situation has ended, the Tartars' offensive has been completely suppressed back, seeing that the Tartars have invested so much capital in order to set up a trebuchet, Wang Tong does not believe that the other party will have any back.

The nine-pound artillery over there had already opened fire one after another, the deterrent formed by the trebuchets had been completely destroyed, and the Tartar offensive had been completely suppressed.

"Marshal, get ready for the artillery array"

Mu En shouted loudly there, Wang Tong turned around, buckled his face armor, waved his long knife down, and said loudly:

"Open the gun"

The same order was also issued on the side of Muen, and the people who approached the artillery position blocked their ears, and the ground trembled again, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

In fact, the number of the Tartar formation directly opposite Wang Tong's side was already very sparse, and this time the fire was fired, and the artillery also adjusted its direction, but the Tartar formation on the opposite side did not react, the muzzle of the gun was not deflected too much, and they did not think that the artillery could not only be loaded so quickly, but also could adjust the direction so quickly, and hit accurately.

This shelling made a gap in the Tartars' main formation, and Wang Tong shouted loudly on the horse:

"The 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment are attacking in unison towards the enemy's main position"

The herald quickly conveyed the order, and the sound of drums and trumpets immediately became excited, and the soldiers shouted in unison and charged towards the Tartar army in front.

"Ordered Ma Sanbiao, leave 400 people to guard Zhang Wu, and the rest follow the marshal"

Wang Tong's second order was issued again, and not long after, Ma Sanbiao led the horse team to this side, Zhang Wu's nine-jin cannon had begun to adjust the direction, and bombarded the Tartar formation diagonally, and the cavalry led by Ma Yong gradually eased up, and began to cooperate with the infantry in the formation to strangle the Tartar cavalry who had no time to retreat.

The first and second regiments were both foot soldiers, and although they began to charge, because they marched in unison, they could not be too fast, and they were nothing more than slow trotting.

After several advances, the Huwei army was close enough to the Tartars' main formation, and close enough to the yellow banner, to start charging, and it didn't take long to arrive.

Under the yellow banner is where the commander of the Tartars is, and there are naturally the most elite soldiers and horses of the Tartars who stay, and they are so disgraced by the artillery fire of the Huwei Army, you can see the foot soldiers rushing in, knowing that the artillery cannot fire at this time, and the cavalry quickly gathered forward, stretched out their bows and arrows.

The most depressing point of this battle for the Tartar cavalry is that they are always hit by the long-range fire of the Ming army, and their best bows and arrows are not given any chance to swing, the Ming army charges, and there is definitely no way to shoot the firecrackers in the process of marching, and everyone has seen that the firecrackers want to shoot, and the front is to take a wooden fork to stand the firecrackers, if you want to stop, the team will have a short pause, there will inevitably be chaos, take this opportunity to counterattack, maybe the situation can be improved.

It was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow, and the Tartar cavalry gradually drew their bows to the fullest, but what they didn't expect was that the two infantry soldiers of the Ming army had stopped, and the spearmen rushed up regardless of it.

The arrow has to be on the string, don't these Ming soldiers with spears and armor all over their bodies know the power of bows and arrows?

A rapid whistling sound sounded, and arrows rained down, but the spearmen of the Huwei Army, who were gradually approaching, only bowed their heads, and the bows and arrows shot on the plate armor and helmets, but they could not penetrate, but were only bounced away, at most leaving dents on them.

Others were shot in the thigh and arm, and others were unlucky enough to be shot in the neck, but this was a rare minority, and their casualties did not stop their comrades from advancing.

Such a fearless force rushed towards him, his weapons and armor flashing with cold light, but his proud bow and arrows had no effect, and every Tartar cavalry who came to stop him was a little panicked.

After all, it takes time to trot at a foot soldier, and the distance of dozens of steps can be shot with a bow and arrow, but the mood is frightened, and the original skillful movements are also a little deformed, which is not even more lethal.

The Tartar cavalry at the back of the line had already begun to turn their horses and fled, when the fiery guns rang out, and the rest of the men were knocked off their horses, except for the cavalry who were facing the spearmen.

In fact, when the firecrackers stopped and prepared to shoot, if the Tartar cavalry facing them broke forward, they might not have no results, but after these few hours of fighting, they were already afraid of the firecrackers and did not dare to enter the range of the firearms, but the firecrackers of the Huwei army were fearless, and they dared to move forward.

The first platoon of spearmen was still more than ten steps away from the nearest Tartar cavalry, and some of the Tartar cavalry hesitated to rush forward, but many more hesitated.

Finally, someone couldn't control it, regardless of twisting the mount, turning his head and running, this time he started, someone fled, and the rest of the people would not be stupidly sent to death here, and the whole formation collapsed instantly.

But they were a team after all, and the horses needed a lot of space to turn around, and the road was blocked by the Huwei army on both sides, and there were companions in the rear.

Everyone was scolding, even beating, to drive away their companions who were blocking their escape and let their horses run out, but the foot soldiers of the Tiger Army had already arrived.

The Tartar cavalry at the forefront had no hope of escaping, and the only thing they could do was to drive their horses forward, wielding broadswords and spears, to see if they could kill the Huwei infantry in front of them.

It was impossible for the Huwei infantry to be killed by him, and the spears of the Huwei army were longer than those of the Tartars, and at such a close distance, the impact of the cavalry had no effect at all, and the result was that they were stabbed off their horses screaming.

If it comes to the point of hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry has a condescending advantage over the foot soldiers, and the others are not much stronger, if it is in this kind of morale when the morale of the army is extremely low and everyone wants to escape, it is completely disadvantaged, not to mention that they are still facing the Tiger Army.

The Tartar cavalry who dared to resist was immediately assassinated by the spear, screaming and being picked off the horse, their screams made the situation even more collapsed, everyone wanted to run, but everyone couldn't run fast, they all became the target of the Huwei army's spears, the Huwei army's infantry queue was messed up for the first time, but it didn't matter, it was just so that every soldier could kill the enemy.

"The commander of the Tartars is always out of range of artillery"

Wang Tong led the horse team around the battlefield that was fighting fiercely, and now the various forces of the Tartars were either put into the battlefield, or were defeated or dragged by the Ming army, and the cavalry guarding the yellow flag was only more than a thousand people, Wang Tong looked at the banner and smiled, raised the long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"Capture the flag, everyone, kill me with me"

Hearing Wang Tong shout like this, Ma Sanbiao and the others shouted in unison, and the horse team rushed towards the yellow flag.

The big yellow flag began to move in the direction of Naturalization City, faster and faster.......
