Chapter Ninety-Four: The Artillery Runs Out of Medicine

"Twelve Bellemo panicked, Ju has been waiting for the Ming army for a long time! Let them taste the power of our Dajin Tianyou Shenwei General! ”

Commanding the banner of the Han army, the people of Dajin called "Tong Banchao" in the West House, Ang Bang Zhangjing Tong Yang has been waiting for a long time, and when the defeated soldiers with red flags retreat across the river, they hurriedly shouted, after shouting here, his nephew Tong Tulai shouted over there, and 1,600 gunners of the original Ming army immediately took their places.

Sixteen red-clothed generals' cannons and fifty-two bronze cannons transported from Yizhou and Shenyang were lined up, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed directly at the other side of the river, which was extremely hideous.

Those gunners of the Ming army have been fighting for many years, and some of them are even subordinates of Li Taishi, these people are carefully selected by Tong Yangxing, they are well-fed and well-dressed, and their treatment is much better than that of other prisoners. Some even gave captive Han girls as wives, and they had been in the Jin Kingdom for a long time, and they had long forgotten their ancestors, so they would be willing to sell their lives for the Great Jin Kingdom. Everyone has a thought in their hearts, this is the first battle of the artillery battalion, no matter what, they must play majestic, only if they are fought, the masters will pay attention to them in the future, if they do not fight well, they will have to be distributed to the armored people as slaves after they go back.

finally turned from a captive into a soldier of the Dajin Kingdom, it was not easy to marry a wife and have children, and it was not easy to live a good life, who is willing to go back to the past. My father's ancestors have died early, and people have to live for their own plans! (Author's note: Li Taishi, Liaodong General Li Chengliang.) )

For a time, the gunners of these Han army flags were all working hard, charging the charge, tamping the tamping, and the gun distance had been measured before the war, so they didn't need to aim, they just ignited and fired.

Seeing from a distance that the chariot of the Ming army was already approaching Xiaoling River, Tong Tulai glanced at his uncle, his face was flushed, and he was both excited and scared. After a nervous moment of waiting, he waved the order flag in his hand fiercely.

"Fire!"

In the sound of "whistling", more than a dozen red-clothed cannonballs fell into the Ming army, and the heavenly maiden exploded like scattered flowers.

The Ming army, which was the first to be bombed, was smashed into five bones in an instant, and the men and horses were unstoppable, with one dead and wounded, and the screams came and went.

"Where did Jiannu get the Hongyi cannon?!"

Hearing the sound of cannons, the Ming army was alarmed, and Zhang Chun's face turned white, since the slave chieftain started the army, he has never heard that the slave has a cannon, let alone the Hongyi cannon of the Westerners, has this Jiannu also learned to make cannons? !

The front car formation was already in chaos, and the soldiers ran away in fright in order to avoid the Jin army's artillery, and the formation of the army also stagnated.

There were two Hongyi shells that landed in the chariot, and before the Ming army next to the chariot could react, the chariot was overturned into the sky, and then fell to the ground with a bang and scattered into a ball.

None of the 40,000 Ming troops thought that the Jin army would have artillery, and the roar of the cannons alarmed them, and the formation began to be chaotic, and in a few places the Ming army even began to retreat.

"Pass the order, continue to move forward, no one can take a step back, violators, behead!"

Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and gave a death order, as the commander of the army, he was ready to kill the rout at any time, he must not let the rout rush the entire army, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

Zhang Chun had no choice, if he ordered a retreat at this time, not only would his previous achievements be wasted, but the army would also be swept away by Jiannu's cavalry.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of massacre it was, and he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences of defeat would be for Da Linghe, for Jinzhou, and for Da Ming.

But he never thought about what his fate would be if he lost.

………

"Listen to me and fire together!"

After a round of red-coated cannons needed to be reloaded, Tong Tulai saw that the Ming army had been disrupted by the artillery, and feared that the Ming army would take advantage of the intermittent time of the red-coated cannons to slow down and rush across the river, so he hurriedly ordered the dozens of bronze cannons to fire.

As the command flag in his hand waved again, the fifty-two bronze cannons captured from the Ming army shook violently at the same time, and the muzzles of the cannons erupted with fierce fire, and thick smoke rose with it.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the deafening cannon fire, fifty-two iron balls smashed viciously into the Ming army's formation. As the shells fell and jumped, the Ming army was again a sea of corpses and blood, and the severed limbs and stumps were thrown from time to time.

A cannonball smashed into the array at the front of the Ming army, although the soldiers scattered like a tide at the landing point, but the solid bullet did not explode directly than the flowering bullet, but jumped up on the ground, smashing out a human avenue alive.

A cannonball jumped up and down as if it had eyes, swept forward nearly a hundred steps, and took the lives of countless people along the way, the head, body, arms, and thighs and legs of many people, like gadgets in the hands of jugglers, kept rising and falling. It wasn't until the bullet was exhausted that the shell stopped peacefully, and the whole body was blood-red, leaving a long and mournful howl of blood and weeping.

"Fire!"

Tong Tulai called out his temperament, looking at the tragic situation of the Ming army, and the command flag in his hand waved extremely powerfully.

After the copper cannon roared, the red-coated cannon fired again, like the wind blowing rice, near the landing point of the Hongyi cannonball, one by one the Ming soldiers were hit by shrapnel and fell, wailing, screaming, rolling...

One chariot after another was overturned or smashed.

The Ming army behind was frightened by the tragic situation in front of them, as if the cannon would fall on their heads at any time, listening to the wailing, their tense heartstrings broke violently, and thousands of Ming troops began to run in unison.

Waiting for them was a team of 3,000 cavalry, and the deputy general Zhang Hongmo personally led his subordinates to supervise the formation, and the shining saber pointed directly at those routed soldiers.

"No retreat, no retreat!"

"Kill those who retreat! Kill the retreater! ”

"Master Bingbei has given a death order, not to take a step back!"

After killing nearly 100 routers, the rout was stopped. Under the pressure of the cavalry, the Ming army infantry reluctantly turned around. They weren't brave enough to fight their own cavalry.

The entire army, but the only one army not only did not retreat, but advanced more than a hundred steps. This is the 5,000 firearms soldiers led by the deputy general Wang Zhiku, who also experienced the blow of the Jin army's artillery fire, and suffered the same heavy losses, but from top to bottom, no one retreated.

"Steady, steady, the brothers are steady, as long as we rush across the river, we can take Jiannu's artillery array!"

"Spread out, spread out, the group is so dense, do you want to eat the cannons!"

"Don't be afraid of those cannons, the more you are afraid, the more they will fall on your head! Listen to it all the damn, Lord Yama is also afraid of murderers! As long as we are not afraid, he will not be able to accept this life! ”

Wang Zhiku's voice was hoarse, and the smoke choked his tears, but he didn't care about taking a breath or drinking saliva, because he knew that if the Chinese army collapsed, not only would it be impossible to relieve the siege of the Daling River, but the entire army, including him and his five thousand soldiers, would be buried between the white mountains and black soil outside this pass.

It's all rushed to Xiaoling River, where is there any reason to go back! Dog. Mother-raised Jiannu, Lao Tzu looks at how many cannons you have!

Wang Zhiku gritted his teeth and shouted an order, let the troops spread out as much as possible, those soldiers who were injured by the cannons could not care, and the only way now was to rush across the river and rush to the Jiannu artillery array, so that their cannons could not be fired.

Zhang Jifu, Man Ku, Yang Zhenghua and other troops also quickly suppressed the rout, and seeing that Wang's troops were advancing under artillery fire, they ordered to organize an offensive again.

But they didn't expect that the artillery of the Jin army was so fast that the formation dispersed the generals, and their artillery hit again, this time the opponent spread out a lot, but there were also a lot of shells from the opposite side, and the casualties were still not small.

A wave of cannonballs came, and dozens of large and small iron balls smashed into the cavalry formation of the overseer, and these cavalry were not much better than the infantry, with flesh and blood flying, broken hands and feet.

However, instead of fleeing for their lives like the infantry, they tried to control their mounts and continued to move forward.

At this juncture, no one knows what it means to retreat, and the Eight Banners on the other side of the river wish they would collapse on their own!

…………

"King Khan, this cannon is well hit, it's a good fight!"

"Our Dajin's God Bless Shenwei General is mighty, mighty, ha, ha, bomb, blow up, blow up those Ming barbarians!"

Looking at the death of the Ming army on the other side of the river, the banners of the Jin army invariably sounded the earth-shattering cheers, but at this time the smoke had not yet dissipated, and the situation on the opposite side was not clear, but all the Eight Banners soldiers were shouting and cheering loudly there as if they had already won the victory.

"King Khan, I didn't expect that the power of the cannon made by the forehead was so great, and when the minions heard the sound of the cannon just now, they really felt that the sky was falling apart, like a thunder roaring, and they almost screamed in fright, what a shame! Ashamed! ”

I couldn't help but praise Ning Wan, who was relieved, this was much more powerful than the two cannons I saw under the city of Yizhou, and when the cannons rang out just now, it could make his ears dazed.

"If you want to win this battle, you should take the first credit!"

Huang Taiji was also indescribably excited, holding a clairvoyant mirror and looking at the Ming army's array, wondering if the Ming army was in chaos. But there was too much smoke to see clearly, so I put down the mirror and waited with a smile on my face.

Soon, the smoke cleared.

After the smoke of gunpowder was dispersed, the large array of the Ming army on the opposite side was finally completely revealed, and the large array that was still quite disciplined had been torn open countless holes, and the Ming army was still full of morale, but now it became extremely embarrassed. The originally dense formation behind the chariot has now disappeared a lot, and many places have turned into a white field, and you can't see any blood on the ground, only purple-black dirt and corpses.

"Why, the Ming army hasn't collapsed yet?" Darhan looked carefully, and the large array of the Ming army was still moving slowly forward.

"Really?"

Huang Taiji frowned, raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked again, sure enough, the Ming army's chariot formation was still advancing, looking at the momentum, they were ready to cross the river at all costs.

"Huh?"

In the clairvoyant mirror, I suddenly saw a big banner with the word "Zhang" written on it gradually moving forward, and under the big flag, there seemed to be many Ming army generals and colonels.

"Zhang Chun is not afraid of death, it's rare."

Huang Taiji put down the clairvoyant mirror and smiled contemptuously, he was not in a hurry to order the banners to cross the river to counterattack the Ming army, but to wait for Tong Yang's artillery to blow up the Ming army's last bit of courage before making a move, which would have a better effect.

………

The cavalry of Wu Xiang and Song Wei on the left and right flanks were completely unhit, and thanks to the large array of the Chinese army, the cavalry on their two flanks were not targeted by the artillery fire of the Jin army.

However, although it was not attacked by artillery fire, the situation of the second division of Wu and Song was not optimistic, the sound of artillery frightened the war horses to shout and scream, and the formation was also a little scattered.

Seeing that the Chinese army's large array continued to advance, Song Wei did not hesitate to order his subordinates to move forward and prepare to force the Xiaoling River, but Wu Xiang actually ordered not to advance further, he was frightened by the Jin army's artillery fire, and began to rise up from end to end. The reason why he didn't turn around and retreat immediately was only because the Chinese army was still in array, and he had to make sure that the Chinese army was defeated before he dared to take people to escape, otherwise if Zhang Chun led the Chinese army to break through the Xiaoling River, he ran away, and there would be no good fruit to eat after going back.

…………

Zhang Chun risked being hit by the Jin army's artillery fire and resolutely moved forward with the army, and the Ming army was somewhat relieved after seeing the banner of the soldiers. Seeing that they were about to start crossing the river, the Jin army on the opposite side still did not come out to intercept, and the cannon no longer fired like a dumb fire, and the Ming army was a little surprised.

Not only they were surprised, Huang Taiji was also surprised, he did not order the flags to cross the river, that is, to wait for the Han Army Flag Artillery Battalion to completely blow up the Ming Army, but after waiting for a long time, still did not hear the sound of artillery, the Ming Army over there is going to cross the river again, the other side of the Xiaoling River is only inlaid with red flags and blue flags, if the Ming Army cannot be stopped, the artillery battalion is likely to be ended by the Ming Army.

"What's going on in Westinghouse? Why did this cannon stop! Huang Taiji was anxious and angry, holding a horsewhip and not knowing whether to lift or fall.

The generals on the left and right don't know what's going on, it's so good, why did this cannon stop?

"Why don't you ask!"

Seeing that the Goshkhas were still stunned, Huang Taiji was so angry that he whipped him. The Goshkhas were startled and hurried to beat their horses to ask what was going on. At this time, he saw a horse galloping, and the knight was a guerrilla of the Han Army Banner, and after the guerrilla saw the big tent of the Khan, he "pounced" and dismounted and ran over, and shouted urgently: "King Khan, our medicine has run out, and the king of Khan is asked to send troops to intercept the Ming army immediately!" ”

"What? Running out of medicine?! ”

Huang Taiji was stunned for more than ten seconds before he reacted, flicked his whip hatefully, and said to the guerrilla: "You quickly go and order Azig, tell him to immediately lead troops to stop the Ming army, and don't let them cross the river!"
