Chapter 102: The Divine Machine Battalion is mighty

It's an attempt, and it can be considered an adventure.

This was a war that was completely based on firecrackers and artillery, and apart from firecrackers and artillerymen, Sun Chengzong did not choose the third branch. Sun Chengzong was a man of letters, and his brain turned much faster than that of a martial artist. It was only after becoming familiar with the use of these firecrackers and learning about their power that Sun Chengzong expected that the mode of war in this world would only change.

This time, it's actually an attempt. If you can, you can win a battle, and by the way, you can save Zu Dashou back. If he fails, he can also retreat with his whole body, at most, these guns and cannons can be destroyed directly when retreating. As for the soldiers, each of them had a knife at his waist, which was the only melee weapon.

"Sons, be careful what you know about the fire gun in the past three days, and recognize your own identity! You are soldiers, you are the border army of Liaodong, and you are a strong army in the world! The difference between you and the past is that you have changed your weapons, but your combat experience will not disappear just because you have changed weapons, right? How to war, have you forgotten? Sun Chengzong asked before the battle.

"I never forget!" The border soldiers who survived in the sea of corpses and blood, who would forget the means of survival.

"Pick up your firearms and check your medicine pots and cartridges, our enemy is in front, and your general, General Zu Dashou, is also trapped in Dalinghe City at this moment. He needs our rescue, and if we don't get there, they'll run out of ammunition. We are not necessarily afraid of the past, the fire in our hands is comparable to a strong bow, the enemy's advantage is weakened to the maximum, you don't even need to fight one-on-one with those Tartars of Houjin, I ask you, are you still afraid of this? Sun Chengzong continued to ask.

"Don't be afraid!" This doesn't need to be considered at all, if you're afraid, you won't be a soldier here for a long time.

"Let's go, let the Tartars see how powerful our Shenji Battalion is!" After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he took the lead and started his journey.

The soldiers were very excited, seeing that Sun Chengzong, who was once a literati and was now sixty-eight years old, was walking in front, they naturally followed immediately. The requirements of the soldiers are actually very simple, they can eat well, they can get salaries, they can get pensions, and the most important thing is that the officials should not be so.

They are Liao soldiers, and there is no need to doubt that they can get paid silver if they are full, and the most important thing is that now this Lord Sun dares to take the lead! He is a general who dares to say "rush with me", even if he originally came from the civilian system, he has been recognized by the defenders of Liaodong over the years.

The brigade began to advance, but after half a day's effort, it was met with a thousand Tartar rangers.

They went south to plunder, and by the way checked the troops of the Han reinforcements, but the leader was Huang Taiji's fifteenth brother Duoduo. As early as the second encirclement to send reinforcements, Azigre worshiped Wu Xiang and Song Wei and made military exploits, but he also saw the weakness of the Ming army. It's rare to be young and vigorous, so naturally you want to make some military achievements. Seeing that the time is not short, the Ming Dynasty should send people north to support, so he brought a thousand people, about three cattle recorded, even if he didn't meet the Ming army, it was okay to fight the grass valley.

At this time, there was an encounter between the two sides, but this situation was the most test of the commander's adaptability and field combat ability.

You must know that at that time, the 1,000 people of Houjin were all cavalry, and they were all cavalry who were good at riding and shooting. Even if it is light cavalry, there is still an advantage against the Shenji Battalion troops, which have no cavalry at all. At the very least, if the initial response fails, it is likely to turn into an unsustainable rout.

"Formation, artillery filling!" The distance between the two sides was less than two miles, and Houjin's cavalry was accelerating.

The artillery was a firearm that had been put into use for a long time, so the non-commissioned officers of the artillery began to be busy, and as for the firecrackers, they were arranged according to Mu Ying's three-stage strike mode, waiting for the arrival of the enemy. Seriously, these were originally the quasi-first-line soldiers of Liaodong, second only to the troops of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the familiar weapons were suddenly replaced with this kind of fire stick-like firecrackers, which was really not very adaptable.

But if they don't adapt, they can't help it, if they want to live, they have to react quickly. They are no longer newcomers, and they are afraid of something that must be suppressed in the case of a threat to their lives. Otherwise, life is gone, and there is no point in being afraid.

"Boom!" The artillery vented its fire for the first time.

However, there were only five shots, but they directly hit the Houjin cavalry who had just entered the horizon. directly caused the death of more than a dozen people, and most importantly, caused the speed of their horses to drop suddenly. Cavalry, as long as the speed can't keep up, it's even more useless than infantry.

"Charge!" Dodor urged his soldiers to move quickly, knowing that the only way to win was to speed up.

Artillery, especially when bombarded at close range, had nothing to resist, especially since they were light cavalry in the first place.

"Boom!" The second round of artillery fire began, and by this time Dordor was only about three hundred paces away from the main army.

"Shoot!" Seeing more than a dozen Houjin warriors falling, Duoduo's eyes turned red.

At this distance, riding and archery can already play a role, and it will not be used now, but when?

However, he bent his bow and arrows, and was about to start shooting accurately, but he didn't want bursts of black smoke to come out of the opponent's position, and there were bursts of fried beans. Duoduo is no stranger to this thing, it is the sound of the fire gun, and he was also watching from the side when Huang Taiji tried the fire gun earlier.

But I didn't want to, these firecrackers began to shoot at a distance of more than 200 paces. You must know that the guns of the general Ming army, a hundred paces away, are not powerful at all, and there is no accuracy. Who knows, but now it has more than doubled this distance.

As a result, the bows and arrows on the Jin army's side were fired, and a large number of lead bullets were harvested at the same time. It's not just one shot, the essence of a three-stage strike is a three-stage burst of shots, which is as much as three times more efficient!

"This ......" With a muffled sound, Dordor found that there was an extra hole in his chest, and that hole was now bleeding.

I was shot? Duoduo couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, but the pain in his chest and the warm blood that flowed out of it kept reminding him that this was the truth.

"Woohoo!" The sound of fried beans continued, and Duoduo was originally a leading general, but he was facing the most advanced firearms of the Ming army.

The second bullet hole to the fifth, as the general of Houjin, he was treated with special favors.

In the end, he didn't know if he was killed by bullets or bleeding to death, and Duoduo fell from his horse and died.

As for the Houjin cavalry unit of more than 1,000 people, forty percent of them were directly killed by bullets, and the artillery also reaped about one percent of the results during this period.

The remaining fifty percent saw Duoduo's body fall, and their own casualties continued to expand, so one of the surviving Niu Lu screamed, and the large army began to retreat, and disappeared on the horizon in a short time.

killed hundreds of Jin people in one go, and also killed Jin ** and returned defeated, seeing the scene in front of him, not to mention Sun Chengzong, even ordinary soldiers were doubting their eyes. Wonder if you're still dreaming.

You must know that in an ordinary battle, beheading the heads of five or six Houjin Tartars is already a monstrous feat.

Now shooting hundreds of people in one go, isn't that an unprecedented level of combat exploitation? Sun Chengzong smiled, he seemed to see Da Ming becoming stronger and stronger; The soldiers laughed, they saw a rich reward, you must know that the Ming Dynasty gave a lot of rewards to the Houjin, especially the head of the real Houjin Tartar.

"Rest on the spot, transport the things back, and by the way, let them bring a batch of gunpowder and ammunition!" Sun Chengzong gave the order.

A battle is indeed cool, but the projectiles consumed are also very huge, in other words, it is completely a matter of burning money for war merits. For the next battle, Sun Chengzong didn't know how not to pay attention to every detail of the firecracker, and he didn't want to lead the rout of the army because a certain detail was not taken care of.

For the generals, it should be so.
