Chapter 1441: Cavalry Tide Hundreds of steps away
The cavalry brigade of Jianzhou Jurchen approached here, and many people saw this scene, and they all immediately laughed and leaned back together, these Han dogs are really bad breeds, so scared, wouldn't they be scared to pee their pants with a shout.
Laughing so wantonly, in fact, there is another reason, everyone suddenly relaxed, it turned out that Zhao Jiajun's artillery was so useless, before the war, I heard such and such rumors, and I heard how terrible it was to hear my companions who had experienced it, but after experiencing it myself, I found that it was so wasteful, and it was so far behind, what are we afraid of such artillery, it is not worth mentioning at all, and after the brigade rushes to the front, just chop melons and vegetables.
After the soldiers of the Jianzhou artillery team were circled back, the sound of the artillery here sounded again, and in the roar of laughter, it was difficult to be noticed, and no one was afraid, but the officers and soldiers of the Jianzhou artillery team were stunned and exclaimed: "Why did the second round fight so fast!" ”
"What's the hurry, it's that they have so many cannons, they are loaded and take turns firing!"
Q&A explained, but their conversation made the Zhao Jiajun artillery only afraid of crooking their noses after hearing it, such an interval was already unqualified for the Zhao Jiajun artillery, the reason why the second cannon sounded so slowly was specially ordered by Chen Sheng, who would have thought that the special delay would be thought to be fast by the other party.
After the last shelling, the officers and soldiers of the Jianzhou artillery team were not so frightened this time, even if the direction of the whistling sound was very right, and they didn't dare to run if they wanted to, the Jurchen cavalry escorting them were all drawing swords and bows, and they were ready to kill people at any time.
"Han dog without eggs, isn't it going to scare you when you listen to the sound of the cannon battle during the New Year, hurry up and set up the cannon!" Someone just stopped in front of the Jianzhou artillery array, and shouted angrily there.
The officers and men of the artillery team scolded in their stomachs, and everyone knew that the Jianzhou Zuo Leader who shouted at him knew that his family was still a hundred households in Fushun a few decades ago, and he fled into Jianzhou after committing military law, but he didn't expect to become the leader of the Eight Banners and came back, and this Han banner man treated the Han people extremely harshly and ruthlessly, without showing any mercy.
However, no one dared to resist, although this leader was not very well received in the banner, but the other Eight Banners General Zuo Wanwan would not allow the Han army to offend the banner people, and everyone could only endure listening.
In fact, Na Zuo Ling continued to scold, but his scolding was drowned out by the increasingly loud screams of breaking through the air, and by this time, the horses under Zuo Ling's crotch were first frightened, and then this Zuo Ling couldn't help but look back
He didn't have time to turn back, a cannonball hit his upper body, and the upper body of the leader disappeared directly, along with the horse's head, in front of the lead ball with a huge impulse, flesh and blood were nothing, whether it was a human being, or a horse that was far tougher than a man.
The human body and the horse's head were directly shattered, and the flesh mixed with bones splattered everywhere, but it was nothing, and it didn't even pose an obstacle, and the cannonball fell to the ground, and then ricocheted off as usual.
There have been definite statistics related to the Zhao family's firearms, and the damage caused by the first landing of the cannonball is far less than the damage caused by the cannonball bounce into a ricochet, because although the distance of the second flight and ejection is short, it is often in the formation of the enemy army, and it will naturally hit the hell of flesh and blood.
The higher the height of the bounce, the longer the distance, the faster the speed, and the stronger the killing.
The first time the cannonball landed, the hard iron earth was smashed into a shallow pit, and the hard snow blocks, ice and broken earth splattered out, this was like dense iron sand, everything that was hit was bloody eyes, and the real damage was the bouncing lead ball.
The lead ball bounced up and swept through the artillery team, one flesh and blood could not stop it, and ten could not stop it either, and by the time this shell landed, more than ten people had already fallen.
The second shell also fell in the Jianzhou artillery team, but the first landing point did not hit people, but fell on a large car, the car was smashed, the artillery loaded on the car rolled to the ground, and the wooden and iron parts were splashed and fired, only to be gathered back by the artillery officers and men who fell into bad luck.
The flying wood and iron parts were no worse than the fire guns and lead bullets at this time, and these officers and men of the artillery team were wearing cotton jackets and no armor because they did not have to go into hand-to-hand combat, although in the face of such an attack, the armor was useless.
Screams rang out, a person's body was pierced, and the damage caused by the shell smashing things was far greater than the shell itself.
In the second round of shelling, four artillery pieces still fired, and this time two shells hit the Jianzhou artillery team, killing and wounding a lot.
The officers and soldiers of the Jianzhou artillery team scattered in a hurry again, and the cavalry escorted around them did not say that they were supervising the battle, and they first dispersed in a hurry, lest they be affected by this artillery.
As estimated by the Zhao Jiajun artillery array, there is no need for large-scale shelling of the Jianzhou artillery team, as long as it is guaranteed that every shell can kill people, then these half-hearted Jianzhou artillery will not have the courage to set up artillery, let alone open artillery.
The artillery of the Jianzhou Jurchens are all prisoners and surrendered Ming soldiers, they are ashamed, they don't know where to go in the future, and they are the most despicable layer in the Eight Banners system, and they are beaten and scolded every day.
After this round of shelling, there was a quiet period, and the artillery of the Zhao family army had a good grasp of the time, which made the Jianzhou side always feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of this quiet to set up artillery and even counterattack.
When the Jurchen cavalry drove the artillery back to the artillery position, let them clean up the mess, and prepared to set up the artillery and fire, there was another cannon sound, this time no one paid attention to the direction of the whistling sound, who would dare to bet, who would dare to have any luck thoughts, run fast, if you run slowly, you will be hit.
Not to mention the Jianzhou Jurchen artillery, even the cavalry who supervised the battle were scattered in a hurry, and it was too miserable to be affected, and no one was willing to take risks.
This time, only three nine-pounder guns fired, but the two shellings could already ensure the approximate accurate direction, and the shells fell in the Jianzhou artillery array, and this time no one was injured, but it hit a cart carrying shells, and the hits were scattered, and the cattle and horses dragging the carts and artillery had not had time to unload, and at this time they were frightened and ran around, and the scene was chaotic.
At this time, everyone knew that Zhao Jiajun's artillery was powerful, and with such an unhurried bombardment on the opposite side, his own artillery had no chance to use it.
Fortunately, the rhythm of Zhao Jiajun's artillery firing has not changed, but even so, everyone didn't even dare to approach the artillery array area, they were far away, and the Jurchen side led the team to hurriedly send someone to report, but as soon as the people set off, Amin sent someone over.
"Lord Belle asks you, if you fire a cannon, can you be the same as the enemy?" The tone of the pro-soldier leader was very cold, but everyone understood what Amin meant.
If you can hit it so accurately, no matter how much it costs human lives, you have to mount the cannon and bomb it, this thing can hit hundreds of paces and is so powerful, of course, you can't give up.
The artillery leader of the Jianzhou Jurchen was the firearms commander of the Ming army in Liaozhen back then, and he was also very enthusiastic about the fame and fortune of the Jurchens, knowing that if he could meet Amin's requirements, future rewards and the like would definitely be indispensable, but the military law was clear, and his life was at stake, even if he bragged and lied, he would be immediately exposed, and after hesitating for a moment, he still hung his head and said that he couldn't do it.
After the second round of artillery bombardment of the Zhao Jiajun came, the Jianzhou Cavalry Brigade, which was still watching the jokes, was a little nervous and panicked, and subconsciously moved away from the artillery position.
"Hangou's artillery is really troublesome, and there are a lot of casualties this time." Zilharang said in a muffled voice, without any look of distress and pity on his face.
Compared with the panic of their own artillery array, Amin and Zilharang and several heavy generals were very calm, there were more than 100 casualties over there, but such casualties were nothing compared to the entire army, and even worth it, through this boring unilateral casualties, we can see the quality of the Zhao family's artillery.
"It's worth it to have a lot of casualties, a few hundred paces away, the cavalry can't die too much, and when he rushes to the front, his artillery is useless, he can fight!" Amin nodded.
For the commander and general of the army, no matter how brave and reckless the individual is, it is only a calculation of addition and subtraction on the battlefield, what kind of losses will be suffered by a person who intends to suffer, what kind of damage will be caused, as long as his own death is less, the other party dies more, or from the perspective of the general trend, it can be achieved that his own death is less, and the other party dies more, then it is worth doing, and Amin, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, made a similar judgment.
However, Amin and Zilharang were not happy, their hole card was this large group of cavalry, they should have tried a few back and forth on the battlefield, and then played this hole card, which would have a miraculous effect, but they didn't expect to use it at the beginning, there was no other choice.
This made the Jianzhou Jurchen generals very uncomfortable, but on this narrow battlefield, there were not many choices from the beginning, only to pounce with all their might.
"Order, with my elite with the blue flag as the vanguard, the formation will be forward, Xu Jin will not be allowed to retreat, the fugitives who are in battle will be killed, and the death pension will be doubled!"
"The horse team charged at the enemy's main formation, ignoring the artillery, the enemy's main formation was in disarray, and the artillery destroyed itself!"
"Summoning Yue Tuo, after the army moves, the red flag can move, and it is not allowed to attack first!"
"The cavalry fled, beheaded the leader, the leader fled, the leader fled, the leader fled, the head of the charge was responsible, and the drum was forward!"
One after another military orders were issued from the position of the marshal flag of the central army, the war drums roared and beat, the cavalry brigade in the front of the Jianzhou Jurchens began to become quiet, people shouted orders in a low voice, the horses neighed, the formation became neat, and several flags could be seen moving forward rapidly, and after reaching the front line, some people shouted and shouted, the flag shook, and the Jianzhou Jurchen forward horse team slowly moved forward.
If it is a field battle between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Ming army, the distance between each other will not exceed two hundred steps, because only bows and arrows need to be guarded against, and the confrontation with the Zhao family army is to leave a gap of more than four hundred steps, in order to guard against the opponent's artillery.
