Chapter 1362: Nervousness and Ease Make a Big Difference

The unmissable shells swept through the bodies of the cavalrymen, shattering any flesh they touched, and some of the shells hit the horses, and the strong horses bent their bodies at strange angles and knocked their nearby companions away.

The Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry queue was in a panic, the artillery of the landing men and horses was really sharp, but the momentum of the cavalry charge did not stop, the first cannon was fired, and the second cannon didn't know when, so he rushed to the front during this gap and cut down these inexplicable reinforcements!

The artillery was rapidly raising the firing angle, and the gunners of the Zhao Jiajun used extremely skillful movements to prepare and reload, and then the second round of shelling was fired again.

It was the cavalry rear that was killed and wounded this time, because I didn't expect the second shelling to come so quickly, and the cavalry of the Jianzhou Jurchens began to separate and then converged, and the shells fell into the crowd, and the damage was not much smaller than just now, and the people turned on their backs, howling miserably.

The people who rushed to the front subconsciously looked around, wondering if there were other artillery pieces for this group of reinforcements, or maybe the strange cannon on the ship was firing again?

Not! On the right flank of the thin square in front of him, the four guns spewed out gunpowder smoke again, and this artillery actually fired so fast!

But having reached this distance, there is no possibility of retreating and scattering, only to continue to rush forward, rush to the front, I don't believe that these reinforcements can still hold up.

Since arranging the formation to meet the enemy, Zhuang Liu's expression has been serious and abnormal, and no matter how excited he is about to win or lose, he can't show it in front of his subordinates, otherwise the morale of the army will fluctuate and affect the battle situation.

But at this time, a smile appeared on Zhuang Liu's face, and the process of the battle situation was incorporated into the orbit of Zhao Jiajun, and every time he fought, every enemy who met Zhao Jiajun for the first time would make the same choice and reaction.

No one could have imagined that firearms had such great power, such a range and firing frequency, and everyone regarded Zhao Jiajun as the Ming army or a stronger Ming army, and everyone's impression of firearms, even the Ming army itself, thought that it was the level of the Ming army.

When you enter the charge, even if you see the power, you can't stop because of the inertia of the charge, and if you stop, the team will either collapse or trample on each other, which is a miserable situation.

The formation of the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry was not as tight as it was at the beginning, but they could not disperse, the front of the enemy formation they were about to attack was too narrow, and if it spread, it could only rush towards the sea.

Not only Zhuang Liu smiled, but even the firecracker soldiers in the front row also showed a relaxed face, they had seen too many similar processes.

The Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry entered the range of the firearms, and the main team shouted and ordered, the first row of firecrackers fired, and the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry who rushed in front subconsciously raised their arms to block the front door, according to previous experience, this is enough, so as not to splash into the eyes of iron sand and the like, but everyone feels that this is probably not enough, some horses were hit, horses neighed in pain, fell to the ground and rolled, some cavalry were hit, and the whole body seemed to be hit by some invisible force, and fell directly from the horse.

But the cavalry of the brigade is still moving forward, the second row of firecrackers fired, and the queue rushing in front is even more sparse, the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry is extremely angry, the distance is dozens of steps, why don't you disperse, why don't you run away, we are about to rush to you to kill people, but the firecrackers in front of them didn't even tremble in their bodies, and even had a smile on their faces, just fired steadily, fired, fired!

When the fifth row of firearms fired, the momentum of the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry was already very slow, looking at the companions and horses in front of them, the people behind did not want to go up to die, and even their mounts were subconsciously slowing down, their bravery and toughness were limited, when the other party was equally tough and brave, and even surpassed, the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry was about to cringe, they were also people, and they also cared about life and death.

The Jianzhou cavalry in the back row was already outside the range of the firearms, but they forgot that there was still artillery, and by this time, the four guns had readjusted the angle and direction of fire, and they opened fire again!

This round of artillery destroyed the only remaining courage in the hearts of the cavalry, no one dared to rush forward, but they were still a little hesitant, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses were brave, on the one hand, the wild nature of the white mountains and black waters did not retreat, on the other hand, it was the harsh military law, and it was an ironclad capital crime to escape from the battle, is it to die now? Or will he be dealt with by military justice after he returns? It's really hard to choose!

"Fire Gun Queue, Thirty Steps Forward and Fire!" Such an order came from the other side, and they saw the reinforcements with firearms running forward quickly.

Running forward? The soldiers with firearms still dare to run forward? This action made the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry dumbfounded, and when those reinforcement soldiers with firearms ran forward and stood, lined up in the same neat formation, they opened fire again, and now everyone was within range

If it is a bow and arrow, the arrows outside the range can even be grasped by hand, but such a firebolt has suffered heavy casualties within his range, and outside the range, the lead bullet of the firearm is not without damage, but it can still kill people if it deviates from the direction.

The rhythmic drums beat, and seeing the four small spear squares moving forward, the foot soldiers dared to rush forward in the face of the cavalry?

There are too many people I don't understand, but no one thinks, and no one dares to continue thinking here, retreat, escape, and leave quickly if you don't want to die.

The sound of the guns had stopped, only the artillery was still firing at a faster pace than the Jurchen artillery, and everything on the battlefield was quiet except for the screams and muffled sounds of being hit.

The Jianzhou Jurchen brigade is still continuing to move forward, not that the cavalry has retreated, they will also retreat, and in the current situation, it is necessary to block the landing.

The sampans were already close to the shore, so they didn't have to rush to the beach, they jumped directly from the sampans, and the spearmen supported their bodies with their spears in the chest-high water, and walked towards the shore with their spears.

The soldiers wore thin clothes and dragged their sampans to the shore, and the boats were equipped with guns and ammunition, as well as dry cloths to wipe their bodies, so that they could immediately go into battle.

The three large ships stranded on the tidal flats were not idle, and the braziers were removed from above, so that the musket soldiers were ready to shoot, and some people jumped off the ship with axes, chisels and saws, and started directly at the front of the ship, and they had to saw the front of the hull, so that the cannons could be carried out from inside.

The eight companies of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade led by Zhuang Liu had advanced a hundred steps, and they raised the banner of the Zhao Army, and the soldiers who came ashore later converged towards this banner, and lined up in a square under the banner, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers in front of them were getting closer and closer.

Not all the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry scattered and fled, compared to the various enemies faced by the Zhao family's army, most of them returned to their own formation, the Jianzhou Jurchen infantry brigade did not pause, the various Niu Lu gathered and separated, and had entered the battle formation, the archers ran quickly to the front, and the cavalry turned to the flank of the army and continued to move forward.

"In the end, it's a Tartar, this is much stronger than the Ming army and the thieves." Zhuang Liu sighed, he looked back, there were more than a dozen spear companies behind him, but there was only one more fire company, and the artillery was two more one-pound light guns than just now, and the firepower was not much stronger than just now.

If the Jianzhou Jurchen was as strong as rumored, six light cannons and hundreds of firearms could not stop the charge of thousands of people, no matter how strong the firepower of the Zhao family army was, the other party could still rush to the front.

After all, the cavalry of Fang Jianzhou was only a few hundred, and they could clearly realize the losses after facing the head-on attack, while the brigade of thousands of people, the current number of artillery and firearms could make them mess up at most, but there was no way to hurt it.

Zhuang Liu looked at the side, a guard was carrying a bow, Zhuang Liu is famous for archery, he always carries his bow and arrow on the battlefield, compared to fighting with a spear, Zhuang Liu prefers to shoot arrows with a bow, kill the enemy one by one at a long distance, and now Zhao Jiajun's firearm He also plays well, compared to the soldiers of the Zhao family army who began to resist firearms, Zhuang Liu is very interested in firearms, and also participates in the formulation of shooting drills.

But the scene in front of him was not the time to use a bow and a firecracker, Zhuang Liu smiled, waved the halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill the tartars!" ”

Many of the soldiers who came ashore were still dripping with water, and when they heard this, they all shouted and clamoured, and even the drummers and trumpeters were making fun of it, and the scene was noisy for a while.

After so many battles, officers and non-commissioned officers went to the soldiers below, or experienced in actual combat, or were shared and taught, the combat power of the Zhao family army came from the formation, if there was no formation, then there would be danger!

When the Zhao family army set out from Dengzhou, they also recruited a lot of soldiers from the former Liao Town, not to use them to fight, but to use them as guides, although there are many descriptions in their mouths that are quite exaggerated, but for the first time to set foot in Liaodong, the first time to face the Jianzhou Jurchen Zhao Jiajun, it is still very useful.

Just now there were a few guides to follow ashore, the guide included Zhuang Ding in the farmland, there were also refugee deserters from Dengzhou Mansion, when the Jianzhou Jurchen rushed over just now, the guide from Zhuang Ding was pale, trembling, but he could still stand there calmly, and the recruited people in Dengzhou Mansion turned their heads and ran, but the landing was on the beach, they could only run towards the sea, and then ran into the sea, they heard the roar of firearms behind them, and looked back, but found that the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry who were afraid of tigers was beaten to the ground, I only saw the smoke of gunpowder, only heard the sound of screams, and then the corpses of the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry fell to the ground and retreated in disarray.

Such a result made the Liaodong refugees in Dengzhou Mansion stunned, but even so, they did not dare to continue to go ashore, they had already seen the Jianzhou Jurchen Brigade pressing up, there were so few people on the shore, and the opposite side was so powerful, there was no way to fight at all, but they were not willing to go up to die.
