Chapter 121: Artillery Bombardment

"That's it! Brethren! Get on the horse and rush with Lao Tzu! Let these southern barbarians see how powerful we are! Chen sometimes put on two layers of heavy armor, shouted loudly, stepped on the stirrup, and jumped on the war horse when he was flying, and the war horse immediately let out a neigh, Chen sometimes had a very stinky fart to lift the horse's reins, so that the front hooves of the war horse off the ground, jumped up the front half of the body, and made the image quite great.

The rebel generals also mounted their horses one after another, and began to shake the swords and guns in their hands frantically, whistling loudly, and began to cheer themselves up.

Under Chen's order, more than 1,000 cavalry of the rebels began to urge the war horse, and slowly rushed down from the dirt slope, the speed was not fast at first, the war horse was just in a slow walking state, and gradually began to adjust to fast walking, and then began to accelerate to a jogging state, the war horse also began to be excited at this time, after resting, before the battle, the war horse must also be adjusted to a more excited state, each war horse snorted, and began to adjust the speed of the horse's hooves gradually according to the constraints of the knight.

More than 1,000 rebels gathered into a horizontal formation of several horses, keeping a certain distance from each other, opposite the Yujia army, lined up into a wide formation of nearly a mile or so, and rushed towards the Yujia army formation.

Yu Xiaotian watched the actions of the rebel cavalry, nodded secretly, knowing that this group of cavalry was indeed an elite cavalry, it turned out that they were all Han Chinese, who had followed Mao Wenlong in Liaodong and fought countless bloody battles with Jiannu, but because of the mistakes of the Ming court and Yuan Chonghuan, they killed Mao Wenlong by mistake, which made the entire Dongjiang army fall apart.

These old departments of the Dongjiang Army are indeed warlords, they actually don't have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in their eyes, when Mao Wenlong was there, they were loyal to Mao Wenlong, but after Mao Wenlong was killed, most of them were disgruntled, and they had played the court many times, asking Chongzhen to clear Mao Wenlong's grievances.

But Chongzhen is an extremely face-loving person, even if he knew that Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong by mistake, he felt a pity in private, but let him rehabilitate Mao Wenlong, he would never be able to do it, because rehabilitating Mao Wenlong was tantamount to denying what he did at the beginning.

When Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he invested his trust in Yuan Chonghuan wholeheartedly, even if he didn't like it in his heart, he didn't reprimand Yuan Chonghuan for this, and even in order to support Yuan Chonghuan, he also affirmed Yuan Chonghuan's approach and publicly declared that Yuan Chonghuan was right to kill Mao Wenlong.

But now that Yuan Chonghuan has been proven, he is not a usable person, and the five years of Pingliao are completely foolish, and he has done a lot of stupid things in Liaodong under the influence of power, so he was dragged out by him and cut by a thousand knives.

He regretted Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong at that time, but this could only be regretted in private, let him rehabilitate Mao Wenlong, he couldn't do it, Chongzhen has one of the biggest problems, that is, he is too good to have a face, and he values face more than anything else.

Don't look at him a few times to sin his own edict, but in fact, he is also pasting gold on himself, really some wrong things, he will never admit it, in his mind, he, the emperor, must be in everyone's eyes, are Mingjun, in the green history, must leave a tall image, and can not have any flaws, if there is a mistake, it is below, and what is done well is his!

And face is really going to kill people, Daming can't say that there is no turnaround in the end, if Chongzhen is not so good-looking, in fact, there are still some opportunities to reorganize the rivers and mountains, but because of his good face, he finally brought Daming to the ditch and led to the fall of Daming.

The old department of the Dongjiang Army asked Chongzhen to rehabilitate Mao Wenlong many times, but in the end, it was all over, and one by one it can be said that they are resentful of the court, let alone loyal.

Later, Yuan Chonghuan deliberately wanted to divide the Dongjiang Army, and even led the Dongjiang Army to split and squeeze out each other, so that many Dongjiang generals could not gain a foothold in Dongjiang Town, so they had to flee to Denglai, and were later taken in by Sun Yuanhua, wanting to use them to resist the Jiannu army and make it continue to be used by the imperial court.

However, this also bought a hidden danger for the Denglai Rebellion, and the rejection of the Dongjiang Army and the Liaodong people by the Shandong people completely intensified the contradictions, and finally caused such a catastrophe, which led to the destruction of the entire Denglai area beyond recognition, and also led to the loss of a large number of officers and soldiers, which made the Ming Dynasty's finances even worse, and Shandong also completely lost the elite soldiers and horses that could fight, and in the next few years, it was impossible to stop the Jiannu army that entered the customs, and even the civil unrest was not able to be effectively contained.

In front of these rebels of the old Dongjiang Army, Yu Xiaotian had mixed feelings about them, they were once heroes of the Ming Dynasty and even the entire Han people, they put life and death out of the way, followed Mao Wenlong to defend the Liaodong Peninsula, fought to the death with Jiannu, and shed blood for the Ming Dynasty and even the Han nation, at that time, they were worthy of everyone's admiration.

But now they have turned around and become traitors who slaughtered their own people, in addition to standing on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty, but also on the opposite side of the Ming people, then they have become sinners.

There is no doubt that these soldiers are elite soldiers, and judging from the appearance of their horses and charging into battle, we know that they have been on the battlefield for a long time.

It's a pity that they are not fighting against Jiannu now, but against him Yu Xiaotian, so it's a pity, he Yu Xiaotian has to raise the butcher's knife in his hand against them and completely wipe them out of this world.

Before he gave the order, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, his eyes became firm again, and he slowly raised his hand and said, "Artillery preparation!" The enemy rushed into the marked shelling area and immediately opened fire! ”

The order was sent to the artillery position in an instant, and the artillery officer immediately answered the order, shouting: "All artillery ready!" The enemy enters the marked area and immediately fires the artillery! Listen to me! Get ready...... Shoot! ”

The three artillery batteries, each equipped with ten standard 12-pounder howitzers and two 6-pounder infantry guns, a total of 36 cannons, had already demarcated the firing range and pointed to the shelling area.

When the rebel cavalry brigade began to enter the shelling area within 400 meters of their designation, the artillerymen quickly lit the fire door behind the cannon barrel under the shouts of the officer.

More than 30 artillery pieces roared collectively in an instant, flashing flames on the artillery position, rising clouds of gunsmoke, and the deafening sound of artillery suddenly swept the entire battlefield and shook everyone's hearts.

The cannonballs flew out of the muzzles at a speed visible to the naked eye, and immediately scattered towards the rebel cavalry ranks, and the rebel generals' pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.

They felt that these cannons used by the Fujian officers and soldiers were not simple, and they seemed to hit them quite accurately, and they knew very well that in front of the shells, no matter how thick the armor they were, it was like paper paste, and there was nothing that could stop these shells.

They didn't dare to say that they had now reached the point where they saw death as home, but they were by no means like ordinary rebels, they were easily frightened by shells, all the rebel generals fell to the ground and began to continue to urge the horses to accelerate, as for who the shells hit next, it was fate, if the fate was bad, they would be killed by the shells, and if they were good, they could be unscathed, and these shells had not been able to scare them.

The cannonballs rained down on the rebel cavalry, raising a mist of blood, and the cannonballs landed on the solid and hard ground, and continued to fly forward, tearing everything that stood in their way to shreds.

More than 30 shells, in an instant in the rebel formation tore out more than 30 blood alleys, along the way of the war horses and rebel generals, were torn to pieces in an instant, stumps and broken arms, blood and horse blood scattered, screams into a piece, many horses fell into the battlefield, the back of the knight fell heavily to the ground, the wounded horse fell to the ground, let out a terrible neigh, and a large number of wounded people, lying on the ground and howling, in an instant this place became a hell on earth, Minced meat and human and horse's entrails flew everywhere.

As the shells landed, they slowed down and jumped shorter and shorter, until at the end of the day, the shells were so slow that they felt like they could reach out and shoot them down.

A rebel soldier saw a cannonball flying towards him, and without thinking about it, he immediately brandished a large axe in his hand, and with an axe, he slashed down, trying to chop the cannonball to the ground.

But with a click, one of the rebels' arms, along with a small half of their body, was torn off by the huge kinetic energy of the cannonball, and they broke away and shattered into slag, and the big axe burst immediately, flying far away before falling to the ground.

The rebel felt the pain at this time, and with a scream, he fell from his horse, and after a moment of hard work, there was no sound.

A war horse, the front chest was hit by a flying cannonball, the cannonball penetrated from the front chest of the war horse, pierced out from the buttocks, and immediately hollowed out the whole war horse, all the internal organs were broken into slag, including the body was also torn apart, without even saying a word, it scattered to the ground with a bang, and the cavalry on the back was thrown into a dog shit, and almost broke the neck.

Such a scene was constantly staged in the ranks of the rebel cavalry, and many people were splashed with a large amount of flesh and blood of men and horses, which made them exclaim again and again.

"Damn! Spread out some! Keep accelerating, rush to Lao Tzu! Rush over! Knock over their artillery array! Chen was sometimes frightened, he didn't expect the artillery of the Fujian official army to be so sharp, to hit so far, and to hit so accurately, and so ruthlessly, so he hurriedly scolded, roared and ordered, at this time in his heart, a sense of foreboding began to rise.
