Chapter 699: Fierce Battle

On the hill on the left, on a small piece of flat open space, more than a dozen soldiers kept feeding cannonballs to the general cannon of Zhankou, and one soldier kept his mouth excited: "It's enjoyable, it's really fucking enjoyable, it's like throwing a boulder into the chicken coop, and none of the chicks can escape." This shelling killed more than a dozen Tartar soldiers, and it was the first time I had seen it, and it was really a pleasure. ”

"Cut, what is this? At that time, on the West Cliff Ferry, Zhang Qianhu took us to the other side. Cannon, dozens of casualties in one shot, that scene is not inferior to this. ”

"I haven't seen what you said, and besides, it's always our Ming army that is facing again, how can you have fun bombing these dog tartars this time?"

"That's the same, look at these bunch of things with pigtails, draped hair, not men and women, and they are angry."

A soldier who looked like a small flag officer shouted: "Hurry up and work, what are you talking about?" After firing twenty-five shells, we are going to tear it, Zhang Qianhu can say, whoever can't finish the fight is not allowed to leave, wait for the Tartars to come up and open their stomachs. ”

The soldiers hurriedly stopped, because the Tartars below had realized that it was sporadic shelling, and hundreds of Tartars had abandoned their horses and walked around the pits on both sides of the road to attack the hill, and these dozen people did not want to block even a short time.

Soon after the explosion, Batu realized that it was the artillery harassment of the Ming army, and the black clouds rising sporadically on the hills on both sides were incoherent, indicating that there were only a few firearms bombarding at most, and he immediately ordered his generals to lead hundreds of soldiers to attack the hills on both sides.

When the Tartar soldiers rushed up the mountain bag with fire in their eyes, a cannon with a steaming heat and a little deformed boring mouth was lying alone on the top of the mountain, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the side of the hillside, you can see the figure of more than a dozen soldiers running away with rolling and crawling.

The bald man could hear the bombardment in front of him in the rear, and thought that he had exchanged fire with the Ming army, and when the situation was discovered, he ordered Batu to continue to advance. Batu planned to send his troops and horses to search along several small hills on both sides before marching, but he was urged to go on the road.

However, the team marched for less than a moment, and there was artillery fire on the hills on both sides, this time there were more than two, and a dozen of them were bombarded into the Tartar front army formation, although the distance between the head was slightly worse, but it still caused more than 100 casualties.

Here Batu ordered people to capture the mountain bags on both sides, and what he saw was still the back of a dozen deformed iron bumps and a small group of Ming soldiers who did not turn back and fled.

Ignoring Batu's complaints, believing that this was a strategy of the Ming army to delay, and the casualties were not large, Batu was ordered to ignore the surrounding artillery bombardment and only speed up the march; Batu rushed forward, and then he was baptized by more large iron balls; The two hundred generals were relatively densely arranged on the two sides of the mountain packs three miles away from Jingyu City, and the strategy of the Ming army was to just finish the shells, and then discard the cannons and run. By the time they reached their intended location, they had suffered more than 3,000 casualties; The artillery fire along the way blocked and gnawed off a piece of thigh meat of the Tartar army so painlessly.

The anger in the heart of the bald man is indescribable, Song Nan's behavior of hiding his head and showing his tail makes him very unhappy, he thinks that Song Nan is not worthy of being the commander of the army, the two sides are equal in strength, and they should face each other head-on, instead of playing tricks and tricks from the beginning of his arrival.

But they finally arrived at the predetermined location, the front army stabilized its position, and the Chinese army also arrived along the way. After the soldiers leveled the field, two hundred Condor cannons were lined up in more than a dozen columns outside Jingyu City, and the tall and thick barrels were as terrible as the murder weapon under the man's crotch, glowing black and swarthy in the twilight.

"Don't you like to make trouble? You don't like to play. Is it harassed? Let Ben Khan give you insight and insight, what is called fighting. Cannon, what is called bombing. I want to make the small city of Jingyu City not grow grass and save tiles. ”

With a cruel smile on his face, he personally raised the command flag for firing the cannon and waved it down.

"Boom! Rumble! Click. ”

Rows of cannons purchased from the Grand Duchy of Russia roared in furious form, huge shells with terrifying screeches and dizzying afterimages in the dim sky. A moment later, a fire rose in the distant Jingyu City, like lightning shining in a black cloud, the huge explosion of cannonballs shook people's ears, the pungent smoke of gunpowder and the iron tribulus terrestris flying everywhere, the earth trembled, and the air burned.

The small city of Jingyu was bombarded by 200 shells in an instant, and the streets were full of smoke and fire, and the houses collapsed like decay, freeing up the smoke and dust of the loess hustle and bustle. Soon after, the tall city gate tower was hit by three shells, in the explosion sound, the city tower collapsed in half, a monstrous fire rose, under the deliberate bombardment, the city gate was destroyed, several city walls collapsed to form a gap, the defense of Jingyu City has been useless.

"Stop." The bald man can raise his hand to signal, the cannonballs are too expensive, and the supplies are insufficient this time, he can't pour out his anger with the cannonballs indifferently, there are still several fortified cities to attack behind, who knows if the supplies behind can keep up, so he doesn't want to waste too many cannonballs.

"Tulu, Batu, Halhan, the whole army is attacking, although the Condor cannons are powerful, but the final battle needs to be ended by the hands of my Tatar warriors; Rushing into the city, whoever caught the enemy commander Song Nan, Ben Khan gave him a land of cattle and sheep, so that he could have a more powerful tribe and countless jewels and beauties. ”

"Ho...... Ho ......" the general's eyes lit up with excitement, and the scimitar he drew was raised high, and a strange roar before the battle came out of his mouth.

"Kill."

More than 50,000 cavalry were divided into more than a dozen charging formations, and began to run slowly and orderly on the dark and open land, and as the speed became faster and faster, the entire earth seemed to tremble, like the scimitar raised by Lin, and the shout that resounded through the sky made every creature in heaven and earth silent, and even the summer insects, snakes and rats in the ground were curled up together and did not dare to probe.

The charging distance of more than three miles is a little longer, but the endurance of the horses on the grassland is amazing, they already need a longer charging distance, after a thousand steps, they are already like a rushing monstrous wave is irresistible, nothing can deter them, even if there is a sea of fire in front of them, they can rush through, break through and shatter.

The fire at the head of Jingyu City burned lonely, and the walls and houses that collapsed from time to time made a rumbling sound, but there was no groaning in this sound, the city was empty, all the people had been transferred out of the city, and all the people had been personally escorted to Guyuan by Yang Yiqing two days ago. In fact, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses walking back and forth on the city, and in order to create the illusion of being heavily guarded, Song Nan had to send more than 1,000 soldiers to take risks; When the cannon sounded, the more than 1,000 soldiers quickly fled for their lives, and hundreds of them failed to outrun the footsteps of the cannonballs, which was also helpless.

Now, when the rolling cavalry torrent charges towards the lonely Jingyu town, who will stop the footsteps of the Tartars, after the Jingyu city gives way, the back is a horse Pingchuan, and the east is Guyuan, which is the distribution center of Shaanxi soldiers, horses, materials, grain and grass, and the north is Lingzhou, and the north of Lingzhou is Ningxia Town; The consequences of a loss are unimaginable.

Time seemed to have frozen, and in this frozen atmosphere that was almost suffocating, in the awe-inspiring of horses' hooves rolling like crushing liver sausages, a red flare rose into the air with a ghostly scream; In the southwest of Jingyu City, in a dense long grassy beach, piles of dead things covered by dead branches and grass suddenly came to life, and after the black tarpaulin was removed, what was revealed was a dense honeycomb arm-thick, about five feet long fire cannon muzzle.

No one paid attention to the wasteland next to Jingyu City, and the Tartar artillery fire would not be smashed into the open ground for no reason, and the fifty Lady Lu rocket launchers were hidden in a fan shape here; The soldiers adjusting the direction of the muzzle of the rocket launcher at an unusual speed, and when the second red firework arrow pierced the dark blue night sky, someone gave the order.

"Put!"

The rotating shaft clicked, and the pin swiped across the flint plate, making a crackling spark, igniting all the fuses concentrated around the flint, "Ho-ho!" The sound of the rocket artillery firing was similar to the strange sound coming from the mouth of the Tartar cavalry, the slender barrels of the guns spewing flames, and the dense shells like flying locusts dragged the fiery red tails towards the Tartar cavalry's charging formation.

You can imagine what a horrible situation it was, and imagine as much as you can, the damage inflicted on flesh and blood in a dense firearm is unimaginable. The arm-thick cannonball touched the human body, and before it could burst, it could penetrate the bodies of several soldiers, causing a terrifying huge wound as it rolled, and then burst, releasing iron eggs flying sideways. Child.

What was even more terrifying was that the Tartar cavalry could not even rush to the position where the rocket artillery was fired, because the direction of their charge was Jingyu City, and the direction of the rocket artillery was on their flank to the right. In the case of the extreme speed increase, to turn and step onto the wasteland where the rocket launcher is located, you need a huge turning radius, and once you do, you first need to get close and personal with the ruined Jingyu City.

The Tatar cavalry watched as their flanks were hit, allowing thousands of rockets to penetrate the formation, and in just a dozen breaths, nearly half of the nearly 5,000 cavalry in the first echelon of the charge had disappeared, and there were human corpses and horse corpses everywhere, broken flesh and bones everywhere, and shells dragging the tail of fire all over the place.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, as if the devil had descended on heaven and earth to devour life on the battlefield, and no one could stop it.
