Chapter 514: The First Appearance of the Blossom Bomb

In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, the armored slaves and infantry were also disguised.

However, the Ming army has been fighting against them for many years, and to be honest, they have long figured out their combat routines.

In the past, due to psychological disadvantages and other reasons, it was true that they could not find a good way to restrain them, so there were many riots at this time, and finally the whole body was affected by one trigger, resulting in the collapse of the whole army.

But now is different from the past, the left and right flanks are not like the front army with swords and shields to stand by, and the comprehensive use of hot and cold weapons is fiercely fought with the armored slaves, the infantry of the Eight Banners, and the cavalry who are riding horses and shooting arrows that rush up close to the military formation.

I saw that there were soon teams of soldiers behind the artillery battalion, running out in an orderly manner.

When Huang Taiji saw it from afar, he immediately scoffed.

Because these soldiers did not even have a decent piece of armor, they only wore a thick cotton coat.

"There is an attack in defense, an attack in defense, a part connects the whole, and the whole drives the part."

In fact, Chongzhen still attaches more importance to the offensive, and this offensive is in a broad sense, not just referring to a military offensive.

For example, making yourself strong and maintaining an aggressive posture is also an offense.

The cotton coat is for warmth, and when the musketeer's body is warm, his hands are warm, and his fingers are flexible.

The crosshair, the rate of fire, can also be guaranteed.

"Click! Click! Click! ……”

There was a sound of pulling the bolt, and it sounded refreshing.

The movements of the senior and young musketeers were as clean as they were during the hard training—a huge investment not only harvested firearms in batches, but also harvested a well-trained unit of pure firearms.

The Eight Banners soldiers such as Aobai, who were captured alive in Liaodong, all became live targets for this firearms unit.

This is how easily the psychological barrier can be overcome, who made the legendary invulnerable Tunguska savages, after seeing their companions shot with firearms, face the muzzle of the gun, and also incontinent like a human?

Ao Bai is very strong, even if it is tied to a strong knot, it does not change the proud nature of the gorilla.

Then a shuttle bullet went down, and the roaring King Kong became a human heart sieve.

Porous!

Now, all the manpower, material and financial resources invested in the early stage have all been reaped in this war, and they have reaped rich returns.

The musketeers of the second row fell to their knees on one knee and shot the men before the horses.

The third row of musketeers stood with their feet apart and adjusted their bodies to a stable seat, and the group of killers relied on their marksmanship, and the bullets were directly hailed at the cavalrymen on their horses.

Often, a single bullet can hit a cavalryman.

Of course, the Jurchen cavalry would not be willing to be used as a moving target, in addition to the iron armor inside and the cotton armor outside, they also held a huge shield with one hand to protect the door.

Even their war horses have a lot of flesh and skin, which is protected by iron tools.

The defense is not tight, but the Ming army's bullets are too dense.

Bolts, chambers, bullets...... Compensated for the lack of a musket rate of fire that was not enough to restrain the cavalry.

This shadow over firearms will gradually be broken.

The musketeers in the front row lay directly on the ground.

Whenever anyone is shot off their horses, and those who are shot off their horses are not willing to fail, their strong bodies bounce as soon as they touch the ground, and their bullets will immediately beckon.

These young and sinister guys are doing a job of mending guns!

The musket alone was enough for the legendary white-armored cavalry of the Eight Banners to drink a pot, not to mention the cannonballs whistling overhead!

Not to mention the 360-degree strike, but the combination of the projectile and the bullet completely makes up for the disadvantage that the bullet cannot turn.

In terms of function alone, firearms are no different from crossbow arrows!

Power and lethality are incomparable.

Bullets struck the charging Jiannu cavalry intensively, solid shells fell on their path in a strange rhythm, and each gunner worked hard to adjust the angle of his shot.

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the guns and cannons rang out in unison. However, the sound of the gears biting and separating from each other still clearly reached the ears of every soldier in the firearms battalion, and the sound was crisp and beautiful.

Seeing the extremely elite Eight Banners cavalry from a distance, falling to the wet ground one after another, Huang Taiji closed his eyes in pain. They were not his elite horsemen, but they were the most heroic of the Jurchen Baturu.

A generation of Tiancong Khan would not give up so easily, so he closed his eyes in pain as if he blinked once.

"The marshal of the Ming army is in Yingming? Would you have expected that Ben Khan would order the white-armored cavalry to fight in the front and use them as cannon fodder? ”

Thinking of his cruelty, Huang Taiji was not without pride. This cruelty was manifested in his kneading of the power of the Eight Banners, matching the Jurchen Han family and the rest of the ethnic groups, as well as luring Shang Kexi and other Han generals and officials.

It can be called anything!

Five hundred of the most elite cavalry were already in place in this chaotic battlefield.

This was carefully selected by Huang Taiji himself, including the most heroic Baturu, the most elite white-armored soldiers, the most savage Tunguska savages, and the most cruel savage Jurchens in the savage Jurchens.

Originally, these cavalry were all mixed in with a variety of troops.

Now, unwittingly, they are in position and silently charging at the target – the left and right flanks.

The forces that Chongzhen arranged on the two wings were indeed relatively weak, firstly, because he fully believed in the power of the refined Great Open Firearms, and secondly, to attract more troops to be put into it to reduce the pressure on the front.

The third and most important reason is that there are not so many strong shields in this world!

Chongzhen always firmly believes that the shield is not as good as a spear, and the defense is not as good as the attack!

Chongzhen in the army under the city can't stand taller than Yuan Shisan, otherwise he will be exposed.

Jiannu's riding and archery skills are indeed amazing, even if his whole body is covered in iron armor, he does not disdain to take risks.

The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and the slave chief was cautious and only took one risk in his life, and he was bombarded under the city of Ningyuan.

Huang Taiji's agency took all the risks and made a detour to enter the customs, like a gambler making a big gamble.

In this battle, it was either the failure of the Ming Nirvana, or the mistake of the Houjin Stud.

Shigezhen did not notice that these groups of cavalry had completed a rapid assembly at a very close distance, their tough bows had been bent, and the bowstrings were tight.

As soon as the fingers were released, it was like a thunderbolt.

Lu, who turned into a war horse, clattered in the wet mud, and the angle of the surprise attack was extremely tricky.

When Zhou Yuji and Peng Hairpin suddenly sensed the danger, it was a little too late.

However, they did not panic and ordered to adjust the firing schedule and direction of the cannons, and the musketeers still methodically poured ammunition towards the front, vowing not to let the white-armored soldiers who had increased their strength surprise attack.

As far as the result is concerned, how elite the cavalry that came by surprise was not very influential in the battle situation.

The key is not to let them close the distance, not even a stone's throw away!

Chongzhen is to make the terrain of this arrow the same as the moat, so that Jiannu is insurmountable.

However, the more than 1,000 miscellaneous cavalry, which were more elite than the white-armored cavalry, almost succeeded.

Fortunately, there is a "big marshal" at the head of the city who is always watching the battlefield closely, especially the subtle changes.

He knew more about Jiannu than any Ming general.

His name is Sun Chengzong.

During this time, he worked tirelessly to understand the functions of all new weapons.

With that assiduous attitude, Ling Chongzhen thought that if he was given a bride, he would definitely be able to understand it thoroughly.

The most commendable thing is that when he saw any new weapon, Sun Chengzong could immediately think of the most suitable place to put it to restrain any form of impact launched by Jiannu with any type of troops.

In addition to the Hongyi cannon, which has the longest range, mortars are also arranged at the head of the city.

And these mortars are not solid shells, but flowering shells!

Chongzhen's idea was to use this formidable enough weapon to hit Huang Taiji's most arrogant self-esteem, and Sun Chengzong volunteered: "The old man is willing to do the work of dogs and horses!" ”

So with a wave of his hand, Chongzhen allocated all these weapons to this old man.

No one was convinced by this, not even Sun Yuanhua, who invented them, and he was very happy.

That kind of mood is like finding the best teacher for your child.

Sun Chengzong is like an extremely good tutor, according to the characteristics of all students, the function of each student is brought into full play.

The flowering bomb chose to show its power to the world at this moment, on the one hand, its homeopathic explosion power caused a great deal of damage to the Jiannu cavalry, and more importantly, the psychological pressure caused to all Jiannu.

The terrifying wave of air was blowing the hem of the warrior's armor and clothes nearby.

Many of the charging Jiannu cavalry, although far away, were rarely affected by the waves.

However, the terrifying sound of the explosion, as well as the heat wave that came from afar, made these elite iron horsemen, who had lived on horseback since childhood, fall from the horseback with a shock to the tiger's body.

It was as if a large, invisible hand had pinched them and torn them off from their horses.

Even Huang Taiji, who was far away, almost fell off his horse, and after trying to maintain his increasingly fat body, he did not roar angrily like his slave chieftain father, but gritted his teeth and said, "Attack! Go on the offensive! ”

On the other hand, the soldiers on both wings of the Ming army, although they were not far away, had long been accustomed to it during training.

People who are accustomed to firearms do not have so much ignorant fear of them.

Only in the simplest posture, effective protection of self.

In that interval, they seized the time to continue to open their mouths and open their guns to defeat the enemy. The mortars at the head of the city waited until a row of shells had blossomed to get a quick glimpse of how much they had gained.

Because the rate of fire of these mortars, which were modified from the Tiger Squat Cannon, was so fast and fierce that every time a shell was put in, they had to cover their ears and curl up in a corner.

If any of them keep staring with their mouths wide open, then I'm sorry, their eardrums may shatter with a loud roar, and they will become fools who can only distinguish the shape of a person's mouth.
