Luo Luohun and Kar Chuxu led two thousand men and horses to hurry up, and finally felt the battlefield, but they didn't expect to see a scene that surprised them.
"Ha Feng, you dog minion, what are you doing?" The irascible Karchu was the first to shout.
When he saw Luo Luohun and Kar Chuxu, Ha Feng'a shuddered, he knew that today's defeat was probably impossible to hide. He hurriedly rode his horse to the two of them, and reported with a sad face: "Qiqi two Beizi, the slave has embarrassed you this time, just now...... The minions folded a cow record into it! ”
Luo Luohun and Karchu looked at the battlefield, and after seeing the messy battlefield, they said with a calm face: "Ha Feng Ah...... You can really do it, it's only been a long time, you actually lost a cow, it's good that Amma is not here, otherwise he will be angry with you. Anyway, how did you lose this cow record? ”
"Chirp ......"
Ha Feng'a didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly recounted the battle just now. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "The minions really can't imagine that those Ming dogs' fire guns are so powerful and shoot so far, two Beizi, it's great that you are here, you are here to supervise the battle, and the minions will personally lead people up to kill all those Ming dogs!" ”
Although Luo Luohun was only nineteen years old, he was quite capable of military affairs, and he pondered for a while and said, "Well, you must do your best in this attack, although Minggou's firearm is powerful, it is not invulnerable. Ha Feng, you were careless just now, otherwise you wouldn't have lost so badly, this time my third brother and I will sweep the battle for you. You take your men and horses to attack me again, I want to see. How powerful are those bright dogs' firecrackers! ”
"Good!" Ha Feng'a's ferocity was also aroused, and a ray of fierce light appeared in his eyes and shouted: "Beizi, don't worry, if the slave doesn't kill all those Ming dogs this time, he will never stop!" ”
"Okay, let's go!" Luo Luohun nodded, "If you can defeat those Ming dogs this time, I will ask for credit for you in front of Grandma, if not...... You know the consequences. By the end, there was already a look of calm on his face.
"Wow!"
Ha Feng'a, who had a murderous face, immediately left in a hurry with a few of his Niu Lu Zhang Jingxing.
Unlike the angry Houjin, it was a different situation in the phalanx of the Ming army. After the total annihilation of the Houjin Niulu, the morale of the sergeants also became high, and the sergeants' original fear of the Houjin army was gradually eliminated.
Looking at the thunderous troops, the corners of Yue Yang's mouth turned upward. He knew that after today's battle, these armies would soon transform into a real army in the city, and an army that had never seen blood could not become a real elite division no matter how much it was trained.
Looking at the side, Yue Yang ordered: "Order Feng Xiaoming, the front two phalanxes immediately withdraw to the back, and move the back two phalanxes to the front!" ”
"Yes!"
The order was passed to Feng Xiaoming. Feng Xiaoming immediately understood Yue Yang's thoughts, he planned to let the sergeants of the two phalanxes behind also see blood. Feng Xiaoming didn't dare to slack off, and in the sound of passwords, the soldiers in the front two phalanxes retreated, and the two phalanxes in the back walked forward quickly. The cavalry on both sides was more vigilant to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.
Less than a quarter of an hour's work. The four phalanxes had already been reversed, and they had just lined up when they heard another desolate trumpet sound in front of them, and the Houjin army was about to attack again.
Yue Yang, who was standing on the bucket cart, immediately showed the movements of the Jin soldiers and horses in front of him, and he could see from the binoculars that the Jurchens had become a lot more cautious this time.
I saw a boxy oversized vehicle in front of me, which people usually call a shield car. Seeing the shield cart slowly coming forward, Yue Yang counted them, there were about thirty of them, and each shield cart had a few flags on it that he couldn't understand, and he couldn't see how many people were inside and behind the shield cart. Yue Yang also appeared, not far behind the shield car, followed by one after another Houjin soldiers, and behind, there were hundreds of auxiliary soldiers holding thick wooden shields, which were large enough to accommodate two or three people to hide behind.
Yue Yang made a rough calculation, and estimated that the Houjin army dispatched at least three more soldiers and more than 500 auxiliary soldiers this time, although he couldn't see the movement of the Houjin army behind the shield car, but he also saw it when he read the history books, and the Houjin or Qing army fought in history, and it has always been to take the shield car as the forefront, which is used to consume the firepower of the Ming army on the city wall or in front of the battle, and use the shield car to resist bows, arrows, guns and bullets. This was followed by the soldiers, who were armed with shields, broadswords, spears and other weapons, and wore two layers of heavy armor. These two layers of heavy armor are generally chain mail on the inside, and cotton armor on the outside is inlaid with iron plates, so the protection is quite amazing, and it can block the attacks of ordinary arrows.
Some Houjin generals even wore three layers of heavy armor, the innermost layer of chain mail, followed by iron armor, and the outermost layer of iron-inlaid cotton armor. With these three layers of heavy armor, it can also effectively protect against bows and arrows and firearms strikes at a certain distance.
"Fuck, these Jurchen Tartars are really coming over in turtle shells." Seeing such a situation, Yue Yang couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if those Mini rifles could cause damage to those Houjin soldiers who were wrapped in several layers of iron armor.
Those shield carts got closer and closer, and they had reached a distance of more than two hundred steps, and at this time, they could already see the appearance of those shield carts with the naked eye. In front of these shield carts were tall thick planks covered with a thick leather quilt to effectively resist guns and bows, and below were four wheels that could be rotated flexibly. Inside, you can hide people, as long as you push the shield cart to the front of the formation, the soldiers in the cart can immediately jump out and fight the enemy. This kind of shield car is also the most proud of the Jurchens siege and attack weapons, in the previous battles, the Jurchens are invincible with this kind of shield car siege and land.
Seeing the shield cart approaching, Yue Yang immediately ordered loudly: "The tiger squatting cannon is out of the queue and knocks out those dog days' shield carts!" ”
Soon, more than 100 Ming soldiers carried twelve tiger squat cannons through the middle of the two phalanxes and came to the front of the formation. The tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty is a kind of light artillery, the tail of this gun is 2 feet long, 7 iron hoops are added around the body, the head of the cannon is erected by two iron claws, and there are iron stumbling, the total weight is 36 catties. It looks like the tiger is powerful and majestic. Before shooting, the cannon body must be fixed on the ground with a large iron nail, and each shot can be loaded with 1oo small lead or small pebbles weighing 5 yuan, which is a sharp weapon against infantry.
Yue Yang, on the other hand, used modern technology to improve these tiger squat cannons, so that these tiger squat cannons increased their caliber while maintaining the same weight, and could be loaded with two hundred pieces of black powder and lead bullets of one or two catties at a time or an eight-pound iron pellet, and shoot them to a distance of one mile.
These soldiers placed the tiger squat cannon on their shoulders on the ground and the muzzle of the cannon was facing the place, and then used an iron hammer to hammer the large iron nail fixed at the muzzle to fix it. Afterwards, two gunners poured gunpowder into it, staggered it with a thick wooden stick, and then inserted iron pellets and fire ropes, ready to shoot.
Seeing that the tiger squat cannon was loaded with ammunition, Feng Xiaoming, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately took out his long knife and pointed forward, shouting: "Open the cannon!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" The twelve tiger squatting cannons roared one after another.
At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the projectiles fired by the twelve guns.
I saw twelve projectiles that had become hot due to high temperature and friction flew towards the Houjin army in front with fire and wisps of green smoke.
"Boom ......"
A violent crash sounded, and an eight-pound iron pellet hit a shield cart with high heat and height.
Although the shield cart was surrounded by thick wooden planks, the kinetic energy of this iron pellet was too great, and after being hit, it immediately spread apart and fell apart, revealing five or six Tartar soldiers hiding inside.
And the kinetic energy of this iron pellet has not yet dissipated, and it still hits the head of a Tartar with residual momentum, taking away half of his face, and the Tartar falls to the ground without saying a word, and the white brain runs all over the ground.
The remaining Tartars and the soldiers who had been hiding behind the shield cart also scattered in fright when they saw this.
"Well played!"
Seeing the shield cart that was torn apart and the Tartar that fled in all directions from a distance, Feng Xiaoming's eyebrows fluttered. He looked at the whereabouts of the other projectiles, but unfortunately only one of the twelve projectiles had hit the shield cart, and none of the remaining projectiles had hit.
However, although they did not hit the rest of the shield carts, these projectiles were still wielding their value, and although several projectiles did not hit their targets, they kept bouncing on the ground, and then hit several Houjin auxiliaries with heavy shields. The power of the eight-pound projectile carrying inertia is powerful, and those heavy shields that look strong are so fragile in front of them. The projectiles shattered the heavy shields into pieces, and the shattered heavy shields turned into sawdust that flew everywhere, some of which flew into the faces of the soldiers who followed closely behind, and hit him with blood.
"Hurry up and reload!" Feng Xiaoming, who had been paying attention to the results of the battle, loudly gave orders to those gunners.
In fact, there was no need for him to say it, and the loader next to him had already picked up a wooden stick wrapped with a thick cloth and began to clean up the remaining medicine residue in the tiger squat cannon. After stabbing twice to clean up the residue, he immediately picked up a paper bag, tore it open, poured gunpowder into it, stunned it a few times, and then put in the iron pellet and the arquelot.
After the preparation, the sightman looked behind the gun about twice, adjusted the position of the gun, and began to fire again.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The Tiger Squat Cannon fired three rounds in a row, hitting only four shield carts and more than a dozen heavy shields in total, and wounding thirty or forty Houjin soldiers.
Seeing such a result, Yue Yang shook his head very dissatisfied......
