Chapter 482: The Strongest Tactic

In the limited-time free, Rolls-Roy finally waited for a big recommendation, and it was still at the end of the month, so can you take advantage of the free east wind to ask for a monthly pass?

The Mongol thunder and arrow bombardment lasted for about two quarters of an hour (sundial time, an hour is eight minutes, equivalent to half an hour in the West), and more than 100 three-bow bed crossbows have fired more than 1,000 rounds of thunder arrows. More than seventy percent of the heavenly thunder arrows carried by Kublai Khan's army were emptied, and even a small half of the more than 100 three-bow crossbows were damaged due to the high frequency of use. And when the thunder and arrow bombardment of the day was coming to an end, the five cowardly Xue thousand-man teams, the five thousand-man teams of Tachar's department, and the one hundred and eight artillery vehicles of the Mongolian artillery army were already pouring out of the gaps in the "sand shield car wall" like a tide!

On the central front of the Ming army, Zhu Sijiu was squatting behind the chest wall of the artillery position with his head in his hands, his face full of bad luck. He has always been Chen Dexing's confidant and is in charge of Chen Dexing's personal guards. Although he frequently goes out into battle, he is always following Chen Dexing's buttocks, and he is actually a "herald". It's the first time I've really been on my own like this!

But for the first time, he met a clever Mongol. There was no stupid use of cavalry to rush into the phalanx of the Ming army, nor did they use the stubborn horn bow to shoot at the bronze cannons. Instead, they were very clever in using sand shield vehicles and covering infantry and artillery vehicles with sky thunder arrows. Although the thunder and arrow bombardment just now did not cause many casualties to Zhu Sijiu's guards division, the smoke blown by the northwest wind strictly blocked the realization of the defenders.

As soon as the bombardment of the Mongols' heavenly thunder arrows stopped, Zhu Sijiu jumped up, and pushed away an artillery company commander who had just protected him with his body as if he wanted to help him block the heavenly thunder arrows. also scolded and scolded: "Straight thief, what kind of sycophant!" Hurry up and check the situation of each gun position! "I took the soldiers for a few years. Although there is no chance to be alone, it is a fierce and auspicious shape on the battlefield. He could feel it even with his eyes closed.

When Zhu Sijiu shouted, he choked on the gunpowder smoke - the quality of the Mongolian H medicine is not good, and the combustion is not sufficient, and the smoke is very big and choking. He rubbed his eyes and looked across the side. The smoke is too heavy to see clearly. I only heard the sound of a wave of people whistling from the opposite side. Zhu Sijiu, who knows some Mongolian dialect, heard it clearly that it was "Immortal Heaven bless the Mongolians".

The officers and men on the artillery position also took action under the shouts of the artillery company commander, loaded all six cannons with shotguns, and then nervously aimed at the battlefield filled with gunpowder in front of them. Although there was a lot of gunsmoke, the wind could not be resisted after all, and the opposite formation was soon displayed in front of the defenders. Everyone gasped.

At the forefront were artillery vehicles lined up, more than a hundred of them! More than ten times more than the 6 cannons assigned to the Guards Division! Behind the artillery carriage, there were Mongolian generals pouring down like a landslide! The Mongols, wearing cast-iron helmets and iron armor, lined up a not very neat phalanx side by side! Everyone was armed with a spear (a carbine), and rows of spears rose and fell forward. On that "sand shield car wall", the Mongols are still turning over in a steady stream. The entire battlefield was almost stuffed with Mongolian soldiers!

It is clear that Kublai Khan has shown the utmost determination. It is necessary to concentrate the strongest firepower and the strongest troops to destroy the center of the Ming army's battle line in one fell swoop.

Zhu Sijiu jumped on the chest wall covering the artillery, and looked at Yiqi in front of him dumbfounded, "Mother." Kublai Khan is planning to drown Lao Tzu with a sea of people and a sea of fire......"

Zhu Sijiu suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted at the artillery company commander: "Don't fire!" Don't fire! Let them hit first! Their artillery vehicles are of little use for birds, they are just to scare people...... Wait for the Mongol artillery to retreat before bombarding their infantry! ”

Finished shouting. He jumped off the breastwork again and yelled at the herald beside him, "Go." Go and ask the king for help! Go and tell the commanders of all brigades that you must stick to the end! Then he shouted an order to the chief of staff of the Guards Division: "Gather all the staff officers and auxiliaries of the Chinese army." Form a reserve battalion! ”

Chen Dexing rode his horse halfway to the defense line of the Guards Division, and also saw the Mongolian army rushing like a tide, and his face was a little ugly. Kublai Khan really deserves to be the big boss in the original history, and his ability to fight is really very set. If you let yourself and Kublai Khan switch positions, you will definitely not be able to fight such a wonderful offensive - Kublai Khan has almost exerted his military strength to the maximum!

If Kublai Khan had possessed the granular H medicine and forged a truly useful bronze cannon, today's battle, the Ming army is afraid that it will usher in a fatal fiasco!

This heroic figure in history should not be underestimated!

"All! Kneel! ”

At this time, the commander of the 1st Guards Brigade, who was in charge of the troops on the front line, and Chen, nicknamed Chen Da Voice, gave the order to avoid artillery.

Chen Chu is one of Chen Dexing's twenty-four false sons. Unlike the scenery of the 22 brothers in Qionghualou, most of Chen Dexing's fake children are working as teachers - because they were relatively young when they followed Chen Dexing, and it was time to study. Therefore, it is easier to grasp the knowledge of later generations imparted by Chen Dexing.

With the establishment of the Beiming Army and Navy Military Academy and the Tiandao Academy, Chen Dexing, who was extremely short of teachers, sent most of his fake sons to teach. However, his performance in the army was very good, and he has now been promoted to brigade commander.

Draped neatly, with a full set of steel armor on his body, he stood on the right side of the first row of the travelers, also kneeling on one knee, with his head down and his helmet facing forward.

This is the posture of avoiding the gun, although it is ugly, but the effect is very good. Because the smoothbore guns at this time were all cannons, the trajectory was straight, and the ammunition was only two kinds of shotguns, solid shells and solid shells, and there were no flowering shells. Among them, the Shotgun Mongols did not have it, they would only use it as a shotgun after reloading it indiscriminately. However, because the air tightness of the gun chamber after filling with iron sand is not good, the power of the blast is also limited. What would really pose a threat to the steel-clad Ming army was a solid lead bullet or copper bullet - it was this kind of solid bullet that broke Liu Minzhong's arm.

However, the small bronze gun mounted on the flatbed cart had a high firing angle (in fact, the bronze cannon of the Northern Ming Army also had the same problem, and it was easy to fly over the enemy's head), and it was not much of a threat to the Northern Ming Army kneeling on one knee.

But it can't be said that there is no threat at all, especially unlucky people are said to be able to choke to death by drinking cold water, let alone going to the battlefield?

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The dense roar suddenly sounded, accompanied by clouds of thick black gunpowder smoke spewing out of the mouth, and lead bullets, copper bullets, and iron sand also flew out one after another, like raindrops to the Ming infantry and artillery positions in front! All kinds of projectiles flew in all directions, some flying over the heads of the Ming army, making a terrible chirping sound. There was also some iron sand that struck on the steel armor and helmet, making a crisp clanging sound. However, no screams were heard, and it seemed that the unlucky person did not appear.

Chen's helmet was also hit with iron sand, but the strength of this iron sand was exhausted, and it was useless except for making a little noise. Chen stood up abruptly with a loud voice, and roared when he tore away the loud voice given by his parents.

"The 1st Guards Brigade, up!"

With a "huh", the three thousand Great Ming Tigers stood up at the same time. Standing at the forefront was a battalion of sword and shield men. They were the elite of the Northern Ming Army, not only did they wear steel armor, but they also carried small thunderbolts that could be thrown, and they also served as grenadiers.

Behind the sword and shield men, seven spear battalions formed seven horizontal formations, and the first four columns were all dressed in shining steel armor, holding their heads high, and majestic, which formed a sharp inverse contrast to the panic of the crossbowmen. The last three columns are all unarmored recruits, with a round shield like a pot lid on their heads as helmets, which looks a little funny. But at this moment, everyone was solemn, all of them nervously held the spears in their hands, and their eyes radiated with hatred and anger - they were all children of the Han family in Hebei, and most of them were still believers in the Heavenly Taoism, not only personally felt the ferocity of Mongolia, but also brainwashed by the propaganda of the Heavenly Taoism!

Standing at the end were two battalions of crossbowmen, one with a crossbow and the other with a bow. They were bombarded by the Mongol artillery wagons, and the inspectors came down and opened the killing ring, beheading a few soldiers who had lost their weapons on the spot, and now their heads are still hanging on wooden poles and stuck in the back of the large array!

In addition, the officers of two battalions were also stripped of their sergeant titles! Now the generals of the two battalions are all holding back their strength and trying to turn around. One by one, they took their bows and crossbows, put on their feathered arrows, and pointed them into the air, waiting to shoot a rain of arrows.

"Grenadier, thunder ignition!"

Chen Chu pulled out a large horizontal knife and pointed ahead, and with a roar, he gave the orders of "Heavenly Thunder Ignition" and "Grenadier Advance". He was originally the battalion commander of the grenadier battalion, and now although he has been promoted to brigade commander, he still habitually gives orders to the grenadiers!

When the three hundred grenadiers heard the order, they unhurriedly put up their shields in their hands, and then took out the fire fold and the thunder and lit the fire.

Chen Chu glanced at the Mongolian soldiers who were running in the distance, estimated the distance, and then ordered again: "20 steps, grenade!" ”

The three hundred strong men immediately began to run, each of them holding in their hands the small heavenly thunder with a wooden handle that had been lit on fire, and rushed forward as they counted the steps. According to the order, they had to run 20 paces, then immediately drop bombs, and then divide into two teams to retreat from the left and right flanks, so as not to get in the way of the pikemen who would charge later!

Artillery bombardment, grenadier bombing, feather arrow covering, and finally pikeman stabbing - this is the standard combat mode of the Ming army at the moment, and it is also the best combination of firepower and hand-to-hand combat!

First the sea of fire, then the sea of blood, to completely drown the enemies of the nation! (To be continued......)
