Chapter 55: Tears and Blood
"How is that possible! How could Juehua Island have such a cannon! ”
The strings of cannon sounds startled Mang Gutai and Wu Nage fiercely, and they heard it very clearly, this was no less than the red-clothed cannon like the roaring tiger at the head of Ningyuan City, not the tiger squat cannon like the big dog in the past.
These cannon shots made the two feel deeply shocked.
Fortunately, after this round of cannons, Juehua Island died down again.
Although the two of them didn't like to think very much, they had accumulated a wealth of experience in being bombarded under Ningyuan City, and they had already guessed in an instant that there would definitely be no more than three red-clothed cannons on the island.
The rest of the Jiannu cavalry was also roughly the same.
Therefore, the Jiannu cavalry, who was a little restless, suddenly felt inexplicably at ease, and quickly pacified the equally restless war horses under the seat.
At the same time, Mang Gutai was already roaring and calling out the name of Wu Nag, who also roared and issued a military order containing incomparable anger and faint panic: "The second team is on the left!" Three teams on the right! Sortie! ”
The second and third teams of Jiannu all had more than 1,000 cavalry.
As a result, more than 2,000 Jiannu cavalry suddenly roared out like beasts off the fence.
The battle was like a sea of mountains, and its momentum was multiplied by more than the previous more than 600 cavalry, as if it was vowing to avenge the city of Ningyuan and the revenge that had just been bombarded.
However, the courage and belief of Juehua Mingjun have been completely stimulated by the round of bombardment just now, so even in the face of the once extremely feared Jiannu Iron Cavalry, what is there to fear?
They calmly performed their duties, did not panic, did not panic, and only guarded the ground under their feet steadily.
Huang Chongzhen saw that although the two groups of cavalry were divided into two routes, one left and one right, the way they chose to charge was still in a straight line, rather than making full use of their superb horsemanship.
The line between the two points was the shortest, and Huang Chongzhen knew that they might not understand this truth, but they must know how to rush to the weak dragon city wall in the shortest possible time, and then jump into the city and slash and kill.
Probably in the eyes of these fierce and fierce Jurchen cavalry, the cannon was the last remaining courage of the Ming army defending the island, and once this courage dissipated due to the loss of distance advantage, it was only the end of being slaughtered.
With the step-by-step efforts of all the artillery crew's auxiliaries, the dark chamber of the cannon has gradually cooled down, and it has become even darker and shinier, and the tiger-like red-coated cannon is once again ready to go.
Since there was such a good opportunity, Huang Chongzhen naturally unceremoniously gave one of the cavalry to meet the attack: "Adjust the gun position to the left!" Ten shots ready for a row! Reload! Hook the line! Ignition! Put! ”
Boom Boom! Boom Boom! ……
A series of earth-shattering cannonballs sounded once again in a rhythmic and rhythmic manner.
In an instant, in the thousand-man formation of the Jiannu cavalry that bravely sprinted, there was another tragic man's back-to-back flip.
The roar of the men and the wailing of the horses resounded in the eye, but they were all suppressed by the roaring cannons.
And just as the vanguard of the cavalry on the left turned on their backs, the followers still braved the meteor shower of flaming shells to step up their charge, and the cavalry on the right took the opportunity to rush to the island under the cover of this.
The more than 400 Jiannu cavalry who had previously gone to the island had already jumped over the horse-rejecting deer firewood that the Ming army had arranged at the front and had not tied to the wires, and then slammed into the thin wires that were messy in the air without warning.
This is the first barbed wire defense line arranged under the guidance of Huang Chongzhen, in order to let the Jiannu cavalry enter the dead corner of the artillery shelling at a speed, just when they think they will no longer have any scruples.
Suddenly, they will be dealt an even more lethal blow than before, in order to continue to provoke them, while also mentally superimposing them for their eventual collapse.
It sounds complicated, but it's also very subtle.
Just like the human psyche, it cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists and can be felt.
Under the nervous and expectant gaze of the soldiers guarding the island, the tight thin wire was just as the young man with the national character face said, and instantly caused almost brutal damage to the Jiannu cavalry, who were neither mentally prepared nor physically defenseless.
"Buzz!" "Boom!" "Hula!" "Whew!" ……
With wave after wave of fearless charges, the tight wire that was impacted continued to tremble.
Some of them cut off a part of the enemy's body and then break it in an instant.
In some cases, the stumps were torn up due to the tremendous momentum.
More than that, there was the trembling sound of the Jiannu cavalry and their horses being cut into pieces.
After all, in order to reduce the unnecessary weight as much as possible and reduce the possibility of the ice being overwhelmed, the 10,000 cavalry did not even wear the iron armor that almost never left their bodies before.
Thus, those tight wires are embedded in the so-called warriors who charge fearlessly like brutes.
Then he sliced open their strong bodies, and let the hot blood be thrown into the air, spilling on the ground, leaving strings of fine beads of blood on the wire.
Or quickly drip to the ground, or more often blown by the icy sea breeze, and even the last trace of residual warmth of life is frozen on it.
The good flesh and blood body, the body of life, was divided into cold pieces without warning.
It was so fast that even the bodies were still instinctively thrashing in pools of blood, like oversized maggots.
This...... It's a terrifying and disgusting scene.
If it weren't for the ice and blood beads condensed in the air indicating that there was something ahead, the Jiannu cavalry, who had great reverence for the totem god, would have thought that the Ming dog on the island would have evil arts, or have the help of ghosts and gods.
For them, it is impossible to go backwards, let alone turn around and run.
Just as Huang Chongzhen thought, the Jiannu cavalry became more angry, more ferocious, and more irrational because of the anger of their comrades' blood.
They charged forward one after the other, slashing down their heavy weapons in a vain attempt to cut the slender dog things in the air in half.
Many of the powerful Jiannu cavalry succeeded at the first time, and many more did not have this skill, but the wooden stakes that had been driven deep into the earth and frozen firmly in the ground also began to loosen.
The thin straight wires tied to the ends also become twisted and twisted. Even many of the tree stumps were uprooted or strangled alive. It can be seen that the elite and brave of the Jiannu cavalry is indeed not covered.
However, they didn't know that even if these thin wires could not cause fatal damage to them sitting on the war horse, they still had a lot of ties and even entanglement effects on the four hooves and even the body of the war horse.
Many of the horses' hooves were entangled.
The free-spirited war horse naturally tries its best to get rid of it, but this method of using only brute force can only be thrown more and more violently, and as it falls deeper and deeper, the only end is to be entangled all over the body.
Then, the more he struggled, the tighter he wound up, and eventually the already loose wires became tight again, embedding into the thick skin of men and horses, cutting through muscles and slicing blood vessels.
Many, many Jiannu cavalry fell on the road to charge the short city in front of them because of this.
Seeing that their companions, who were still alive just now, fell in their own pools of blood like this, the remaining Jiannu cavalry became even more angry, roared even more angrily, and rushed towards Dragon City.
"What a fearless and savage charge!" Huang Chongzhen saw it, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Civilization and barbarism will eventually collide like a fateful collision, and if civilization is not civilized enough, and barbarism is not barbaric enough, then both sides will pay extremely heavy prices and lessons.
All in all, no matter how the mood of the Jiannu cavalry changed, and how heroic the way they charged, they could not change a fact that they deliberately ignored and was enough to make them feel ashamed.
That is-so far, the Jiannu cavalry has not even seen the shadow of the Da Ming Juehua soldiers.
The imaginary scene of a short hand-to-hand encounter, quickly defeating it, and then ruthlessly slaughtering the island, is also unseen.
On the contrary, it was the Jiannu cavalry, who was as strong as a brute and had no one in sight, falling in waves.
Although this picture was full of dripping blood and disgusting severed limbs, the Ming troops defending the island saw it, but instead of being timid, they were greatly encouraged.
Especially the soldiers guarding the outermost city wall, so the distance is the closest and the visual impact is also the strongest, many soldiers can't help but burst into tears, and at the same time admire and admire the young man with the shape of the national character.
Once upon a time, the Ming people in Liaodong, whether they were the rebellious army or the unarmed people, suffered such a shackled fate - slaughtered, mercilessly slaughtered.
It is precisely because of this that although most of the black land has been occupied by Jiannu, the remaining Liaodong people only occupy the narrow Liaoxi Corridor and a few isolated islands overseas, and they still continue to resist stubbornly.
The taste of tears and blood is hot and salty, and it becomes so vivid and intense when blended.
However, all the soldiers defending the island had to admit that the Jurchen cavalry, who were completely enraged, were brave and terrifying, and they did have the ability to win the battle of Sarhu, the battle of Guangning, and the battle of Liaoyang, and crisscross Liaodong for more than ten years.
Many Jurchen warriors fought hard to break free from the shackles of barbed wire.
Even if blood gushes, you have to look up to the sky and roar.
Even if he was crumbling, he was not willing to fall backwards, but danced his weapons, rushed forward with all his strength, and used his own blood and flesh to pave a bloody road to Dragon City for his companions behind him.
In Huang Chongzhen's eyes, this is indeed a tragic and costly bloody road.
The first team of more than 400 Jiannu cavalry on the island almost did not survive, but this bloody road was paved anyway.
At this point, the first team of Jiannu cavalry that raided Juehua Island, a full 600 people, whether they were strong and elite, or vigorous and savage, had been wiped out.
The first line of defense painstakingly arranged by the Juehua soldiers was finally lost.
