Chapter 388: Battle of the Ascending Dragon II

With Yu Dayou's golden voice, the soldiers who had rushed out immediately retreated and relined themselves beside Yu Dayou.

The battle was brilliant, crushing the enemy's forward with few casualties, which can be said to be a great victory.

Your own luck is the misfortune of your opponent.

Yu Dayou was elated, while Mo Dengyong was gloomy.

Mo Dengyong's attack was originally a bit tentative, wanting to touch the details of the opponent, but he never expected the opponent to be so powerful. As soon as the battle was engaged, it was brutally defeated.

A phalanx of the Mozambican army attacked was almost completely killed and wounded.

Of course, the people in this phalanx were killed by the Yongjun army and were killed by the Mo army. It's almost half to half. He was either chased and killed by the wolf-like Yong army, or he was killed by the Mo army in the name of disrupting the military formation. Only a small number of people remained, bypassing the formation of the Mo army and retreating to the rear from both sides.

"This sincerity cannot be defeated." Mo Dengyong couldn't think of any way to attack the Yongjun army for a while, and he was able to achieve victory. I have to give such an assessment.

However, it is not that the Yongjun army can fight and achieve the final victory. Mo Dengyong's eyes saw the Zhancheng army that flanked each other's Yong army.

Immediately gave the order, held on to the front, and mainly attacked the Champa army.

Since you are so powerful, I will not hit you, the weak link of the attack. Mordenyong's idea is not wrong. So he wanted to make a detour to attack the phalanx in the rear, but he turned around and killed the Cham army.

What was the combat effectiveness of the Cham army? How does it compare to Mo Jun? Zhu Houhuang has no bottom on these things, and he doesn't know how long the war between the two sides can last.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang was not at ease to let the Cham army support the overall situation. Immediately give an order to Yu Dayou and attack.

Zhu Houhuang must attack, since the opponent is so vulnerable, it is time to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

It was not very easy for Yu Dayou's artillery to move, so Yu Dayou did not move the artillery this time, but directly transferred the pikemen in the rear to the front.

It's a fine-tuning.

As mentioned earlier, warfare in ancient times has always been manual work, and if you do not understand this, you cannot understand many of the rules of warfare.

Yu Dayou knew that the striker had already fought once. Although the victory was great, the physical strength that should have been consumed was still consumed. Therefore, Yu Dayou turned back and forth, allowing the soldiers who had already fought to rest for a while.

After all, there are tens of thousands of opponents, and today's battle is not something that can be fought in one or two formations.

Still in front of the sword and shield hand. The spear was like a forest, and it slowly pressed over. When they came to the front of the two armies, a black cloud flew out from the spear array, and it was a rain of arrows.

Except for the several rows of pikemen in front. The pikemen in the back stuck their spears in the ground, took out their bows and arrows, and fired several rounds in a row.

Archers use physical strength to shoot bows and arrows, and even in ancient times, they used to be able to shoot a few stones of bows to rely on the strength of one person. The average archer can shoot thirty arrows in one go, which can already be said to be very good.

However, the bow and arrow skills of these pikemen are obviously amateurish. It's pretty good to be able to shoot a few rounds, and you can count on others.

Yu Dayou's round of arrow rain that split his head and covered his face can also show that the two sides have entered the effective killing of bows and arrows. There was also a rain of arrows on the opposite side, and a few artillery pieces were fired.

This is thanks to the rout just now.

It is important to know that the problem of loading gunpowder weapons has always been one of the problems affecting the use of gunpowder weapons. When it was just to deal with the rout, it can be said that the means were all out, and many weapons were shot out, and many things could not be loaded for a while.

I saw a few shells flying over, and two of them were planted on the ground before they could reach the battle formation, but one of them smashed the ground and hit a shield.

Zhu Houhuang's carefully built wooden iron shield, as if it was paper paste, was instantly smashed out of a fist-sized hole, the cannonball castrated, smashed the sword and shield hand hard, smashed the sword and shield hand out of a transparent hole, and rolled into the formation, smashing the legs of the two spearmen alive, and then stopped moving.

The battlefield has always been so cruel, and those who kill are also killed, or rather, it is so fair.

"Boom" artillery rang out, artillery from the north.

Because the Mo clan was afraid that there were Zhu Houhuang's ambushes on the head of the city, the place where the two sides fought was some distance from the city wall, so there was a large open space between the city wall and the military array.

These guns were arranged on the north side, and there were not many of them, only four or five, but as soon as they began to fire, it was a round of rapid fire.

In this round of rapid fire, each gun fired five or six shells. Because to transfer the position of the artillery, even if they have artillery carriages, it is much easier to transfer the position, and it is not a simple matter, all the subsystems that have just been fired are not fully loaded. Therefore, after firing a few shots, it returned to the rhythm of one shot a little more than a minute.

One by one, the shells smashed into the formation.

Mo Dengyong's military formation immediately began to waver.

With an order, Mo Dengyong's army began to attack. It stands to reason that Mo Dengyong already knows the reality of the Ming army, knows that it is not an opponent, and should not retreat?

However, Mo Dengyong knew that he could never retreat, he knew his subordinates very well, and knew that they had absolutely no ability to withdraw under the pursuit of the enemy, and it was estimated that as soon as he retreated, the beginning of the great rout would begin. They could not withstand the artillery bombardment, so they could only attack.

Success or failure is another matter, and they must not be allowed to stand and be beaten.

However, the target of this attack was not the opponent Yu Dayou's military formation, but the artillery positions in the north.

Mo Dengyong can see that the Ming army relies on the power of this artillery to scare people. So in order to win, it is necessary to seize the artillery that is being dealt with.

Therefore, the Mozambican army brigade rushed towards the artillery position, which consisted of only a hundred people.

If you want to use firearms to contain the tactics of crowds, that is after the machine guns came out. And even though the Franc cannon has a fast rate of fire, this speed is in this era. The plan could not withstand the onslaught of the brigade.

Seeing this, Yu Dayou immediately divided the forces of a division to protect the artillery. A small sub-battlefield was formed in the north.

Zhu Houhuang divided the artillery unit in front of the formation into two parts, one part of which was already hidden in the military formation, and this part was still commanded by Yu Dayou. At this moment, several artillery pieces in the north are from this part, and the other part is at the place where the Yongjun army formation intersects with the Zhancheng army formation. Occupy a small position, in this position, this batch of artillery can support both Yu Dayou's side and the Zhancheng army's side.

And at the moment they are all speaking for the Cham army.

The Mozambican army and the Cham army have already begun to fight.

As soon as the Champa army and the Mo army got into battle, they were evenly matched, which made Zhu Houhuang overjoyed, but he did not dare to pin his success on the super-level performance of the Champa army.

So half of the artillery was dialed over.

At this moment, Zhu Houhuang deeply felt what it meant to be overstretched.

It's not just that the book is hated less when it is used, but the soldiers are also hated less when it is used. With the help of artillery. The Cham army repelled the attack of the Mozambican army.

However, the gap between the Cham army and the Yong army was also revealed, just now the Yong army pursued with victory and defeated a phalanx of the opponent in one fell swoop, while the Cham army saw the Mo army retreating, but did not dare to pursue.

The Mo army immediately focused its attention on the position where the Champa army intersected with the Yong army, on top of the artillery position.

Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to ask Yu Dayou to send soldiers to protect him. For a while, the battle was scorching, and the center of gravity of the battle was on artillery. Whether or not the Mozambican army can seize artillery has become an important condition for whether the Mozambican army can win.

And Zhu Houhuang's face is not very good-looking.

Because the other side still has a lot of troops that have not been used, Zhu Houhuang's side has already engaged in a full-scale battle. In the reserve, only the military judges and guards around Zhu Houhuang remained, with more than 500 people.

Such an army, in a big war of such a scale, can't even splash a little wave, Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "From now on, I will never do anything to outnumber." ”
