Chapter 688: The Collapse of the Prairie
A line of smoke rose in front of the 'Bang Bang ......' army, and the Tartar horses that rushed into range were shot one after another, because the Tatars were so skilled that they all shrank to the smallest and were mostly blocked by the horse's neck, so the Divine Battalion Musketeers could only open fire.
The horses that rushed to the front were shot and splashed with blood, but the horses were much more able to withstand than humans, so they accelerated towards the army under the control of skilled riders.
The three waves fired in turn, because the enemy came quickly, so they fought quickly, and the closer they were, the more powerful the muskets became, and even the horses could not stand such an attack, and they slipped forward with their hooves, and the Tatar targets on their backs became larger and larger, and from time to time they were directly shot and fell off their horses.
Although the Tatars were stubbornly sniped, but the three-fold wave formation also suffered the strongest attack ever, the power of the Tatar cavalry impact was unique in the world, not hastily organized, the White Lotus cavalry that lacked actual combat drills could compare, let alone the lack of horses and fewer Japanese robbers, they came like a tide, the people in front of them just fell, and more people rushed up on the corpses of their companions.
The musketeer's ability to attack continuously is always a problem, and Qi Jing, who commanded the battle on the spot, (Note: Guilty of sin, he has been renamed Qi Chen for a long time before, in fact, this character is not made up blindly, so it is better to give people a proper name, hehe, guess who he is?) Don't go straight to Baidu! Seeing that the enemy cavalry had rushed seventy or eighty paces away in the blink of an eye, he immediately ordered: "Put away your muskets in the even-numbered queue and attack with grenades!" Everyone sped up and retreated! ”
After receiving the order, half of the soldiers of the Shenshu battalion put away their muskets, took the grenade from their belts, waited for the enemy to arrive, and then lit the grenade with the fire rope, saw the Tartar coming, and threw the grenade into the Tartar pile with all his might.
'Boom...... Boom......'
The most feared scene of the Tatars was staged again, the grenade was no better than the musket, it exploded on the ground, and the affected people and horses were directly in different places, and the shock wave and sound wave also made the nearby horses extremely frightened and difficult to control, the Tatar charge was finally chaotic, and the offensive was blocked and it was not so easy to rush again.
"It's still easy to use grenades...... Qi Jing thought to himself, but grenades are more difficult to make, the number is limited, and each soldier in the Shenshu Battalion wears only two grenades, once they are exhausted, it will be difficult to resist the Tatar charge with muskets alone.
Qi Jing did not hesitate, he ordered someone to send out the flag order, their two wings violently killed two cavalry, led by the big tiger and the second tiger of the four tigers of the Rong family, they led the temporarily recruited cavalry from the two wings to the Tatars who stormed the artillery array, although it was a temporary formation of cavalry, but their formation was quite neat, and the equipment on their bodies was unambiguous, and the elite degree was far better than the vast majority of the guards.
The cavalry flanked on both flanks soon collided with the Tatar cavalry that was meeting them separately, and the swords flew and the blood was stirred, and both sides were fierce warriors, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.
The sound of artillery that had been silent for a while sounded dullly again, and the iron bullets that demanded their lives fell on the densest places in the Tatar army, and the terrible 'heavenly thunder' was once again powerful, and the Tatar flesh and blood were blown up and the ghosts cried wolf, the most terrible thing was not to be killed, but not to know when they would be hit by the heavenly thunder, the steadfast descendants of the Golden Family, the strongest cavalry in the world, deeply felt the fear of death.
The people on Cailiang Mountain seem to have been forgotten by the battlefield, their muskets and grenades have been out of reach of the enemy who has been far away, but the cannons on the mountain are still roaring, the gunners obey the orders of Lord Qincha, and send the shells to the place where the enemy's flag is the most, sometimes the target distance is too far, they try to raise the muzzle of the cannon, and the cannonball is far away, many times the bomb explodes before it hits the ground, and the scattered shamprapnel smashes the crying father and mother, but they are gloating and happy on the mountain.
Just when he was having fun, Duan Fei ordered: "Everyone, stop playing, everyone except the gunner packs up their things and prepares to line up to go down the mountain!" ”
Hearing the order, everyone hurriedly collected their minds, packed up their things, and prepared to go down the mountain, Jiang Hui followed Duan Fei's side, there was nothing to prepare, he looked at the form under the mountain, and said: "My lord, although the Tatars have suffered heavy losses now, they have not yet shown their defeat, don't we plan to wait for the Tatar troops to retreat and retreat before going down the mountain to pursue?" ”
Duan Fei got up and said leisurely, "Haven't you seen it yet?" The Tatars have long had no intention of fighting again, since they can't rush through, the only way out is to turn around, and the most important thing is that there are still a lot fewer flags under the mountain, and the wolves that have lost their leader are just a pack of sheep, and it is estimated that after another round of shelling, the Tatars will be completely defeated, and then you are ready to go down the mountain, but I am afraid that you will not even be able to pick up a hair. ”
Duan Fei condescendingly saw very clearly, under the fierce bombardment, the Tatars were on the verge of collapse, no matter how strong the fighters were, they would become frightened in the face of irresistible forces, their current offensive was only the last stubborn resistance, one blow and then three times exhausted, when they found that they could not break through the encirclement of the Shu army no matter what, and the terrible explosion continued, it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
In fact, the situation changed even faster than Duan Fei expected, and a bloodied warrior came to Ah Zhu with difficulty and said, "Great Khan, General Vodoo, he ...... Killed by a thunderbolt! The Ming army has sharp firearms, and the front army has suffered heavy losses, let's ...... Can't rush over ......"
Ah Zhi's heart sank, Volodus is a tiger general, invincible in the prairie, and made great contributions to the unification of Tatar by A, but he didn't expect that today he was useless at all, and he was killed by the fierce artillery of the Ming people.
Alatan said in a trembling voice: "Father Khan, let's ...... It's better to withdraw as soon as possible, and if you continue to be bombarded by artillery like this, I'm afraid that the situation will soon be out of control......"
Ah Zhu frowned, his heart fought fiercely, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, when suddenly someone shouted: "Protect the Great Khan!" The thunder is coming! ”
Ah Zhu was thrown to the ground in a blink of an eye, and many people were pressed on top of each other, Ah Zhu didn't seem to feel the weight on his body, his heart tightened, and he clenched his teeth, and the expected explosion came from the air, through the layers of human body to Ah Zhu's ears, and the deafening explosion was so close that Ah Zhu's heart trembled violently - the heavenly thunder was really powerful, and the Shu army had such sharp firearms, no wonder he deliberately lured them into the pass, obviously trying to annihilate them in the pass......
The shrapnel hit the person's body with a pop, but Ah Zhu's ears were still ringing, he couldn't hear these sounds, he pushed the people lying on his body one by one, and immediately shouted after getting up: "Order to retreat, return the same way, and withdraw to the grassland from Huyukou!" ”
"Great Khan! Alatan he ...... "A guard knelt in front of Alatan who was covered in blood, Alatan loved him the most, and his favorite was this son who had been different everywhere since he was a child, he saw this and grabbed a step, but he didn't dare to touch it, but asked in a trembling voice: "Alatan he...... How's it going? ”
The guard hurriedly replied, "Great Khan, the little prince is still angry, he was only slightly wounded, and he was pressed to his chest by the horse's stock and held his breath." ”
Ah Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately shouted, "Ji Nang! How do you take care of your brother? Take him with you and go back to the grassland! ”
The whining horn sounded, and in fact before the horn sounded, the Tatars had already begun to crumble, a total collapse, and the first thing that collapsed was their courage, the courage of being bombarded with grenades and artillery to the dregs......
The panicked retreat spread like a plague, the Tatars collapsed completely, and all of them, whether they were generals or soldiers, whether they were on the front line or in the rear, chose the same action, turned around and fled!
As the Tatars began to rout, the trumpet of pursuit sounded on Cailiang Mountain, Qi Jing first turned over and got on his horse, brandished the saber in his hand, and shouted: "Everyone get on the horse, catch up and fuck him!" Don't let a single Tatar escape back to the steppe! ”
On the battlefield, the fighting voices were everywhere, and the Tatars who had the superior number were defeated by the Shu army that was far inferior to them, and pursued and killed, and the troops that had been completely defeated were ineffective, not to mention that most of the troops pursuing them had muskets that could be attacked from afar, and even the kind of grenades that could be carried with them and had amazing power, and the Tatars did not dare to stop for a while, for fear of falling to the end and being ruthlessly slaughtered by the Shu army.
The great rout of the Tatars was completely in Duan Fei's expectations, but the strength of the Tatars was not greatly damaged, only one of the ten pavilions was passed, if they were given to return to the steppe, after the purge, it would still be a powerful force, the cannon was difficult to tow, and it was difficult to have this chance of successfully ambushing the enemy's main force, Duan Fei would never easily let the Tatars escape back to the steppe so completely, this time he wanted to leave the more than 100,000 Tatar elites completely on the hilly land in the pass.
The main force of the Tatar army rushed to the east, but there was a sudden rumbling cannon sound on the Longfeng Mountain in the east, and there were also cannons of the Shu army hidden on this inconspicuous earth mountain! The Tatars, who were frightened by the thunder, heard the change of color, and immediately changed their route to the north, and the cannonballs also sounded on the stone forest mountains in the north, and the cannonballs whistled and flew, and the Tatars turned their horses on their backs, and the Tatars did not dare to turn around and go south, no matter how bold they were, they broke into two roads, and rushed to the northeast and northwest respectively, although Ah Zhu found that the sound of the cannons from the east was different, but now the defeat has been achieved, and no order can be conveyed to the front, and no one will obey the order, everything is only left to fate.
The defeated Tatars are like a swarm of chaotic flies, and they are slapped by the swatting of flies, and sometimes a few grenades can make them change the route of their advance, and gradually all the way the Tatar defeated soldiers are driven to the foot of the mountain, on one side is the pursuers, on the other side is the lofty mountains and the Great Wall, and on the other side is the imperial river, this way the Tatar defeated soldiers fell into the Jedi!
Just when many Tatars rushed to the top of the mountain or tried to force their way across the imperial river, the pursuers of the Shu army stopped, and a strong horse rushed out of the array, it was the eldest of the four tigers of the Rong family, he ran to a place less than 100 meters away from the Tatar army, and shouted loudly in Tatar language: "Bah! Listen to me! My family said, you have been forced into a desperate situation, God has the virtue of a good life, my family wants to pray for the great tomorrow, leave a way for you to live, as long as you obediently put down your weapons and surrender, you can save your life, go home to visit your family, I give you dozens of sounds, after counting those who refuse to put down their arms and surrender, there is no forgiveness! ”
