Chapter 97: Gone in Smoke (Fourth Update, Ask for Subscription!!) )

Boom - Boom -

Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded in my ears.

This time, it was ten times more powerful than the explosion of the flowering bomb!

A huge wave of sound hits the eardrums, making people lose their hearing in an instant.

Next, the flames soared into the sky, and although Boyan couldn't hear the sound, he clearly felt that the earth was shaking.

The charging formation composed of 5,000 cavalry collapsed in an instant, and for a while, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the beautiful grassland became a hell on earth.

Perhaps because Boyan had prayed for the protection of the Immortal Heaven before going into battle, his companions around him helped him block the deadly shrapnel and shock waves, and he was able to escape.

The follow-up troops did not know what was happening, only to see a flash of fire explode, and then, the troops in front disappeared.

Yes, disappear into thin air!

Driven by the inertia of the rapid charge, the troops could not stop at all, and continued to move forward.

Everything was so fast, and in the blink of an eye, the scene changed dramatically.

However, Boyan didn't have time to feel the fear at all, he had already crossed the explosion zone and rushed to the front of the Ming army.

However, he was greeted by rows of muzzles with black holes.

Boyan didn't have time to think at this time, so he pulled the reins on the ground, and the war horse under the seat neighed, and the person stood up.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

White smoke rose from the muzzle of the flintlock pistol, and rows of lead bullets shot out, and the Varat cavalry in the front row suddenly turned on their backs.

The war horse under Boyan's seat was knocked out of seven or eight holes, like a hornet's nest, fell heavily to the ground, and after a few convulsions, it completely lost its breath.

The first batch of new firearms developed by Wang Gong Factory was not equipped with the Shenji Battalion, but was given to the 3,000 Battalion.

Before setting out on the expedition, Zhu Qizhen reorganized three battalions.

The 3,000 battalion was still a cavalry unit, fully armed with flintlock pistols and armed with twenty artillery pieces.

The Shenji Battalion was reorganized into an artillery battalion and became a single heavy firepower unit.

The five battalions were still predominantly infantry, with 20 percent of the personnel armed with flintlock pistols and a small amount of artillery.

All in all, the era of cold weapons is a thing of the past, and it will be the world of firearms in the future.

After Li Zhen arrived at Yumuchuan, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the Warat people, he immediately buried more than a dozen mines on the periphery of the camp in advance.

It's powerful, but the technical hurdles of the trigger haven't been overcome.

Therefore, the most effective way is to cooperate with artillery, shelling minefields with shells, detonating mines.

How did the Warats know that there was still this thing buried under the meadow, and after the first wave of bombardment, the losses were heavy.

However, the nightmare has only just begun.

The reloading speed of the flintlock pistol was simply incomparable to that of the original firearm, and the Ming army still used the tactic of three strikes, alternating fire, and with the dense burst of gunfire, the Warat cavalry fell one after another.

Boyan finally realized the seriousness of the matter, got up from the ground, and limped backwards.

More than half of the 5,000 cavalry were killed or wounded, and the rest had completely collapsed, and those on the outskirts of the ranks had fled in all directions, and many more were scurrying like headless flies.

Li Zhen stood on a high platform, silently watching the changes taking place on the battlefield, and immediately gave an order.

"Cavalry attack!"

The herald blew his horn in a high-pitched and sharp voice, and then the sound of killing filled the sky, and all the cavalry battalions poured out of their nests and slaughtered the enemy.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

This is the first time since the 3,000 battalions left the Great Wall to fight against the Warats, originally a little nervous, after all, the new tactics were changed, but seeing the opponent's cavalry collapse directly under the blow of artillery and muskets, the worry in my heart suddenly disappeared, and the next step was to beat the water dogs.

The momentum of the Ming army has reached its peak, on the contrary, the confidence of the Warat people has been completely shattered.

Five thousand cavalrymen were killed and wounded, and only a few escaped the pursuit and fled in all directions.

In the midst of the chaos, Boyan found an escaped war horse, turned over and stepped on the horse's back, and galloped north lifelessly.

Where is this Ming army, this is a group of devils!

Who has ever seen such a powerful explosive, and a long-barreled fire gun that does not need to be ignited.

This is an evil weapon that even the Immortal Heaven cannot fight!

The morale of the Ming army was high, and they chased out for more than 30 miles, but seeing that it was getting late, they reluctantly returned to the camp.

Li Zhen was overjoyed, and in just one confrontation, he completely destroyed the elite cavalry that the Warats were proud of.

The power of the new firearms is beyond expectations, and it is simply incredible.

When the emperor ordered the 3,000 battalions to be equipped with firearms, Li Zhen's first reaction was confusion and incomprehension.

Who has ever seen a cavalry unit charge with muskets?

However, today's battle made him completely convinced.

The emperor is right, melee combat is a thing of the past, and the future will be the era when firearms are king.

Under the convening of Yexian, the four major departments of Warat, namely the Dzungar Division, the Heshute Division, the Dulbert Division, and the Turghut Division, had all arrived at the Kurultai Assembly on time.

The Tatar sweat took off without thinking about it for a long time, and finally came to the meeting as scheduled.

Seeing that it is also powerful, if he doesn't go, it will be difficult to let him take the opportunity to stand on his own.

Although the Tatars have always boasted of being a golden family, in the steppe, bloodline does not represent everything, in the final analysis, whoever has more soldiers has the right to speak.

I am also very satisfied with the arrival of the detachment.

After all, the people are the nominal Great Khan, representing Mongolian orthodoxy.

In this conference, the most important thing is to discuss joining forces against the Ming army, and as for the battle for the throne of the Khan, it can be placed after the war.

After destroying the Ming Dynasty, occupying Dadu, and reviving the Great Yuan Empire, the next Great Yuan Emperor must be himself.

Tokhtobu looked around and asked, "Why don't you see the Buryat Ministry?" ”

He also replied first: "The Buryat Department lives in the North Sea, is sparsely populated, and is also facing the invasion of the Rakshasas, and has not participated in the war in the Central Plains for many years. ”

Totobuhua nodded, and then asked, "Master Taixian, how many soldiers and horses do you have here?" ”

In August last year, the four-way army on the grassland went south, and took off Buhua to lead people to attack Liaodong, taking advantage of the Ming army's main focus on the Xuanfu Datong area, and wantonly looted near Jinzhou, and gained a lot.

On the other hand, on the side of Warat, he also personally led the army to almost completely annihilate the main force of the Ming army, but unfortunately was turned over by the Ming army in a desperate situation, and instead of winning, he suffered heavy losses.

As a result of this, the gap between Varat and Tatar began to narrow.

Detachment does not ask such questions, but also to test the reality of the first.

Unexpectedly, he said unhurriedly: "200,000 elite soldiers!" ”

Tokhovi gasped, no wonder he was so arrogant first, there were so many people.

He also smiled proudly and said: "This time I will send troops, and I will definitely capture Dadu, and I will be ashamed!" ”
