Chapter 56: The Three-Stage Shooting Method Reappears

However, this did not prevent the officers and men defending the island from stirring in their hearts, greatly boosting their morale, and greatly increasing their faith.

After all, just the long-range bombardment of the battlefield layout and artillery, without a single soldier, wiped out the entire two elite cavalry of Niulu's Jiannu, which was almost an unprecedented victory since the start of the Ming and Jin wars.

In addition, following the first team and rushed to the island, the second and third teams of Jiannu, in front of the place where they came into view, there were still a lot of horses, deer firewood, wooden stakes, and tree stumps.

Because of the painful lesson in front of them, they had to become cautious, but they never expected that these things were just Huang Chongzhen, a stinky villain, used to confuse them.

Jin Shilin looked sideways at his angular side face, and suddenly felt that this kid was definitely not as horizontal and vertical as he looked on his face, but more winding than the flowery intestines of those who read.

"With such a complex battlefield arrangement, how did this kid come up with it?" Jin Shilin tilted his head and thought silently, and the simple young man's face was thoughtful.

The Jiannu cavalry on the right side of the second wave, because they didn't have to bear the shelling, saw this scene from afar, and their anger overshadowed all their emotions, and under the tearing of their eyes, they naturally desperately urged the war horses under their seats.

However, even if they tried their best to rush to the battlefield as fast as possible, they could only see that the flesh and blood in one place were gradually being frozen.

The Jiannu cavalry, which had taken thirty shells on the left, also hurried over.

After feeling the tragedy and tragedy in front of him at close range, they were all extremely indignant, roaring and vowing to slaughter the Ming army who was probing their brains in the city wall in front of them.

A few big brute beast-like and strong Niu Lu really glanced at each other quickly, and they already understood.

In order to avoid a similar battle situation from happening again, they immediately decided to find out all the roads leading to the small dragon city in front of them for the follow-up army and remove all obstacles.

Therefore, it was immediately reduced to zero, and the most basic preparation of the Jurchen ancestors when hunting, the Niu Lu, was used as a unit.

Led by their respective Ezhen, they cautiously probed.

I saw that they destroyed the horse-rejecting deer firewood on the side of the road one by one, and they did not even let go of the stumps and wooden piers, which can be said to follow the trend, instead of relying on horseback and leaping as before.

"You also have today!" When the soldiers of the Ming army inside the city wall saw this scene, they secretly sneered in their hearts, and they really wanted to remind them, but of course they wouldn't do it.

It was only after almost all the obstacles were cleared that the two Jiannu cavalry realized that the reason why their predecessors were desperate was to pave a bloody road for them to attack heartily, and they had succeeded.

The road to Little Dragon City had already become a smooth road, and in shame, he screamed and launched a fierce attack.

Seeing this, the Ming troops in the city immediately grasped their respective weapons to defend the island, and only waited for their respective generals to give orders, and they would attack them head-on.

Although the walls of Xiaolong City are not high, for the Jiannu cavalry who want to leap in one hand, it is like a small moat.

Therefore, out of inertia, the direction of most of the Jiannu cavalry is still the small city gate.

It's closer, it's closer, it's really closer, so close that it's almost a stone's throw away, and even the three-eyed bird, which has a very bad crosshair, can fire in anger without hesitation.

The unique sound of the bird's gun sounded dull and dense.

The Niulu cavalry, which was in the center and attacked the city gate, was the first to suffer heavy losses.

A large number of cavalry were brought on their backs and fell from their horses by the powerful penetrating force of the bird guns - after discovering that the Jiannu cavalry did not wear iron armor, the fire gun team immediately adjusted the strategy of shooting people and horses first, and directly poured angry marbles on the cavalrymen's body, directly killing and injuring a large number of people.

The screams, curses, and roars of the people were mixed with the mournful roars of the horses, and the battlefield seemed tragic and chaotic in an instant.

However, the two groups of Niulu cavalry on the left and right did not flinch because of this, first the left flank drove the war horse, accelerated to come, and at the same time bent the bow and arrow, trying to return the attack with the bow and arrow - the art of riding and archery!

This is the greatest honor of Jiannu to fight across Liaodong and defeat the former suzerain, Mingguo!

Theoretically, the range of the bird gun is naturally slightly better than that of Jiannu's archery.

According to past experience, as long as they carried the first round of bird gun shooting of the Ming soldiers, the cavalry of Jiannu could use bows and arrows to fight back, and then rush forward with superb riding skills and slash and slash at will.

However, this time, the imaginary reload interval of at least twenty or thirty breaths seemed extremely short.

It can even be said that there is not even the slightest gap, and a second wave of sound sounded dullly.

Bang bang......

Although this wave of gunfire was not as dense as just now, it also caused heavy losses to the Niulu cavalry on the left flank.

The Niu Lu cavalry on the right flank didn't think about it, and took the opportunity to pounce over.

But they were greeted by a batch of scorching marbles.

Niu Lu Ezhen, who had taken the lead, felt a tingling pain in his proud chest, and a large wave of scorching marbles was embedded in his bulging pectoral muscles, burning the wide lobes of his lungs and seemingly hurting his huge heart.

The moment he fell off his horse, he could still scream angrily: "What the hell...... Could it be the legendary three-stage shooting method? ”

"That's right, that's the legendary three-stage shooting." Huang Chongzhen seemed to hear an unwilling roar, stood on top of the "dragon head" and opened his arms vigorously, roaring in response to the wind.

As the name suggests, the three-stage shooting method is to divide the musketeers into three groups, the first group to finish shooting and then retreat to the last, the second group to fill in the first row, and then to the last after completing the shot, and the third row to fill the position.

This cycle is repeated to compensate for the slow reloading speed of the firebolt.

This is invented by Mu Ying, the general of the early Ming Dynasty, and properly used the firearm shooting method, which is simple and effective, but for some reason, it has been gradually abandoned for a long time.

Now, as soon as Huang Chongzhen proposed it, and then the firecrackers brought by Zhao Shujiao from Shanhaiguan reviewed the past and learned the new, they immediately received a miraculous effect.

The flames of war, once ignited, are in full swing.

According to Huang Chongzhen's arrangement, the soldiers guarding the island cleverly arranged under the situation of occupying the best geographical position, and captured the subtle psychological role of people, and also made full use of the advantages of hot weapons, killing nearly 1,000 Jiannu cavalry in the first game.

This has to be said to be a miracle, and it is enough to be proud of the brilliant results.

But the fighting will continue, the flames will burn, and it will only be more tragic and scorching.

Until the incoming Jiannu is completely defeated, repulsed, or even defeated, any pride is deadly.

The Jiannu cavalry can be called a subtle horse archery technique, and sure enough, it has been vividly displayed at the same time.

As soon as the soldiers of the island poked out even the slightest bit from behind the thin walls, the cavalry could shoot them with a single arrow with the skill of accurate horse archery.

Some cavalrymen with amazing arm strength held three-stone strong bows, and some arrows forged from the string were powerful, and some arrows forged from fine iron could even chisel through thin walls with a single arrow, causing surprise and damage to the soldiers who were hiding behind the walls.

As soon as casualties appeared, they grew faster and larger.

Huang Chongzhen on the "dragon head" saw it in his eyes, and had to admit in his heart that Jiannu still had a set of wars, but he was not arrogant, did not admit cowardice, and did not admit fate.

The same is true of the rest of the soldiers who have the same hatred for the enemy, seeing their comrades falling to the ground from time to time, although they are sad and angry, they are not panicked.

In addition to the musketeers still under the general command, methodically delivering head-on blows to the frontal enemy, the crossbowmen were not to be outdone, raising their weapons, gritting their teeth and silently returning fire.

Such a silent output, such a concerted effort, is in stark contrast to the roar and angry roar of the Jiannu cavalry.

But in any case, the three groups of Jiannu cavalry who rushed to the island, after paying a great price, have fallen into a stalemate with the Ming army defending the island with the northern wall of Xiaolong City as a point of contention.

Once the Da Ming Juehua soldiers lost their advantage in distance, they gradually showed a decline.

On the other hand, the Jiannu cavalry seems to like this kind of melee and bad battle the most, it is like a fish in water, and the more they fight, the more brave they become.

Fortunately, the cavalry was not conducive to the siege of the city, and the Jiannu army during the Nu chieftain period was also more inclined to fight in the field, and because of the haste of attacking, they wanted to give the Juehua defenders a deadly surprise attack, and they did not carry any large siege equipment.

Therefore, although the walls of Xiaolong City are short and thin, they play a vital role in deterring the enemy.

There were two Jiannu cavalry from Niu Lu walking around the city, trying to find a flaw in other directions and break through.

However, although Dragon City is small, it bravely faces the sea to the north in an oblique posture.

Therefore, except for the thin low wall to the north, which can be attacked, the other three walls are almost all steep seas, and there is almost no chance to take advantage of them.

The two Niu Lu Ezhen sent people to report to Wu Nag, and the rest returned to the vicinity of the north gate, roaring to join the battle, which also made the battle burn more vigorously.

As soon as the beginning of the game, nearly a thousand elite cavalry were lost, so that the hearts of Mang Gutai and Wu Nage were dripping blood, you must know that this is the pure bloodline of the Eight Banners, and it is the absolute core of the Jianzhou Jurchens to fight across Liaodong.

After receiving a report about the entire island, the two finally realized that Juehua Island was not as vulnerable and easy to take as Huang Taiji said, and the soldiers and civilians on the island did not rush to the ground because of their sudden arrival.

If you want to win the battle of this island, you have to attack it head-on, and it is absolutely impossible to take this island with the second and third teams that have suffered great losses, but it must be pressed by the whole army.

So the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the murderous and crazy in each other's eyes, and after nodding heavily, they invariably pulled out the war knife on their waists that symbolized the glory of Jurchen Baturu, pointed at Juehua from afar, and roared angrily: "The whole army is attacking!" Leave no piece of armor behind! Kill! ”

"Kill!"

More than 7,000 Jiannu cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately roared like brute beasts, divided into three directions, left, middle and right, and launched a savage charge towards Juehua Island.
