Chapter 286: Impact Stalemate
The extremely strong impact of the high-explosive fragments not only brought a deafening loud sound, but also a violent wave of air and terrifying lethality.
In an instant, I saw that at the landing point of every shell in the Mongolian cavalry, a large number of stumps and severed arms rose into the air, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
A Mongol soldier was on horseback, his heavy armor had been pierced by fragments of a cannonball, his heart was bleeding, he was holding the reins with one hand and his chest with the other.
He wanted to say something, but because of the severe pain in his body, he only opened his mouth and couldn't make any sound until he fell off the horse.
"Ahh My arm! ”
On the other side, there was also a Mongolian cavalryman on the back of the horse with a painful face, only to see that the arm that he used to hold the reins of the war horse was now gone, and he could only reluctantly use his other hand to control the balance and prevent himself from falling off the horse.
After all, in such a large-scale cavalry charge, falling from a war horse is basically equivalent to pronouncing one's own death sentence, and the best way is actually to be able to follow the war horse closely, and maybe have a glimmer of life.
In the artillery position of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army in the distance, all the new guns are lined up, and they are constantly repeating their loading. Launch.. The process of loading and firing!
Every reload launch was accompanied by the wails of Mongolian soldiers in the distance!
Not only that, when the cavalry's impact distance reached less than three hundred meters away from the Heavenly Tiger Army's military formation, the flag soldiers at the front of the military formation waved down the small flag representing the attack in their hands!
Marks the beginning of continuous sequential shooting!
"Shoot!!"
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, the Ming army array resounded with a dense sound like the explosion of beans roasted on a charcoal fire, and in front of the army formation, the cavalry facing Mongolia weaved a torrent of metal formed by the convergence of bullets!
"The second row shoots in an orderly manner!"
In fact, there is no need to be reminded by the flag soldiers, now the sequential shooting and then the retreat and reloading have become the muscle memory engraved in the bone marrow of the soldiers of the Tiger Army of the Great Tomorrow, and there is no need to be careful, and all the veterans under the command of Meng Tu were veterans who came down from the battlefield in Liaodong.
They are even more experienced, and they have become the backbone of the Tiger Army today, and they are also the confidence that Meng Tu dares to fight with the Mongolian cavalry in a flat area this time.
After all, they are all new rifles, and the overall loading speed and shooting speed of experienced veterans are much faster than the average person.
On the battlefield, being able to shoot more bullets in the same amount of time means that the battle will have a better chance of winning.
In the face of such a large-scale cavalry charge, he was also less likely to be afraid, and he was more determined to hold this new musket in his hand.
It's just that the advantage of cavalry is also there.
Gradually, casualties began to appear in the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, but Meng Tu did not react at all, and the soldiers were like robots, constantly repeating the action of shooting and loading, and one or two fish that slipped through the net and rushed into the military formation without any hindrance!
But if you stop what you are doing, then more cavalry will rush in.
But Meng Tu was better, and Dabalagan in the distance was observing the situation on the battlefield, but he was heartbroken, and he couldn't believe his eyes, knowing that among the fifteen thousand Mongolian iron cavalry, the cavalry of his Chahar department was at the forefront.
Like an invisible iron curtain, the Ming army is constantly harvesting the lives of all Mongolian cavalry.
"No..! Can't rush anymore! can't rush through at all, the artillery fire of the Ming army is getting more and more fierce! The cavalry in the back is already in disarray! ”
Dabara clearly saw the enormous damage that followed the shelling.
Behind the cavalry array that was charging towards the Ming army, many Mongolian soldiers were already retreating, and they were constantly tightening the reins to slow down the speed of the impact.
This was undoubtedly a devastating disaster for the Mongol cavalry, which relied on a strong shock force in a short period of time to win.
This is especially true for Dabaragan.
This group of soldiers from other Mongolian tribes undoubtedly gave priority to the lives and safety of the Mongolian cavalry of the Chahar tribe under their command in an instant, abandoning them in exchange for their own safety!
If it goes on like this, how can it be possible to win!
And behind Dabaragan, there were also many Mongol generals, and only one person spoke: "Great Khan! If you want to succeed, you have to be not confined to small sections! Attacking the Ming army formation is destined to bring casualties, as long as it can be attacked! No amount of casualties is worth it! ”
"Yes! We are all willing to support you as the Great Khan of the Mongols, and the warriors of the Chahar Department are all good, and they will not die in vain! We will honor them with the lives of the Ming army! ”
"Immortal Heaven will bless us!"
Such remarks made Dabaragan resist the idea of Mingjin withdrawing his troops, after all, in the unpredictable battlefield where victory and defeat are fleeting, once he can't withstand the pressure as a general, then a large-scale rout will become inevitable.
Over time.
More Mongolian cavalry gradually came into contact with the military formation of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, and in the distance, the Heavenly Tiger Army built a wooden structure tower in the style of a lookout early to serve as a commanding height for Meng Tu and other generals to observe the battlefield.
"Are you ready?"
Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry was holding scimitars in their hands, and the impact became more and more crazy, Meng Tu couldn't help but speak to a staff officer behind him.
"Master Meng, this batch of new equipment has not been tested in any actual combat, so such a rash attempt... Will there be a problem? ”
The staff officer on the side held tightly the instruction manual of the new weapon issued by the imperial court to the Heavenly Tiger Army, but his expression was extremely solemn, and his brows were furrowed.
But Meng Tu didn't care about this, and said directly: "Don't say this, I believe in the imperial court!" I believe that the emperor, it is impossible to send useless things over! ”
"Yes! Subordinates will do it! ”
...
On the battlefield, Dabaragan also occupied a commanding height, unlike the usual Mongol generals who liked to lead the charge, his thin body and the sharp firearms of the Ming army in the distance were constantly warning him that he should stop a little.
The Ming army was gradually changing its formation.
This is something that Dabaragan observed in an instant.
But not only the Ming army, but also the cavalry under his command began to change their formation because they could not resist the huge casualty pressure, and let the reserve cavalry detour behind the Ming army in an encirclement posture as much as possible!
In the face of the artillery fire and muskets of the Ming army, Dabalagan lamented in his heart, and he knew it better than anyone else.
As long as Daming is willing to continue fighting... Such an army does not know how many more it will be able to pull out.
However, the Mongolian cavalry is a number, and if one dies, I don't know how long it will take to make up for it.
