Chapter 593: Nanzhang's Despair!

Ba Song, the defender of the first pass of the Nanzhang defense line, is not a person who takes the lead.

He has always felt that it is important to lead the morale of the soldiers, but the probability of dying in front of the charge is higher.

Ba Song is not afraid of dying in battle.

But as a general, he should not die so meaninglessly, and should play more commanding roles.

So he's always in control from the back of the line.

The defeat of the 3,000 elephant army caught him off guard.

The powerful firepower after the Ming chariot broke through made him unbelievable.

The speed with which his defense line collapsed filled him with despair.

He didn't understand why Da Ming was able to make the chariot like a battleship, not only equipped with artillery, but also a powerful flowering shell.

Mu Jiajun does not have such a weapon configuration at all.

The Mu family army has artillery.

However, most of them are traditional solid bullets, and occasionally flowering bullets are used, but they are very powerful.

But at this moment, the shells that fell on your own defense line were all flowering shells.

Within a radius of ten paces around the drop point, there were almost no living people, and seven or eight were wounded.

But he soon learned why.

From the side of a fallen soldier, Ba Song picked up a "nail" stained with blood and bone residue, saying that it was a nail, but it was just a bit of a resemblance, but in fact it was not a nail, but a thick needle.

The front section is thick and elliptical with smooth streamlining.

The tail end is smaller.

There are four grooves.

Make its tail end look like an arrow tail.

This is the reason why the power of the flowering bullets fired by the Daming chariot has skyrocketed!

Ba Song could only smile bitterly.

Daming's gunpowder process turned out to be powerful, and the space in a cannonball was not large, and after turning into a large number of such "needles", the amount of gunpowder was much less, but it still had such a powerful explosive power.

The point is that such "needles" are fired with the explosion, and together with the shell shell fragments, it is no wonder that there will not be a living person within a radius of ten steps, and these needles and shell fragments have become a deadly god in the explosion.

Within ten steps, it can almost shoot through the human body.

Ba Song looked up not far away.

The despair brought by artillery is actually nothing, because the Ming Dynasty only has thirty chariots, and now there are three of them, and only twenty-seven are still combat-effective.

That is, twenty-seven guns.

There is always a time when the ammunition runs out.

What really made Ba Song feel desperate was the gushing tongue of fire of the chariot, which was the real roar from hell - because the Daming chariot was three hundred steps away, Ba Song had already organized three waves of offensives, hoping to get close to the Daming chariot to destroy it, but without exception, each wave of offensive could not get close to the Daming chariot within a hundred steps and would be destroyed, leaving corpses all the way.

Under the tongue of fire, the soldiers of the south fell to the ground and died in pieces.

And their own artillery positions have long been destroyed.

The bow and crossbow not only have insufficient range, even if the crossbow arrows shot out with the bed crossbow fell on the Ming chariot, there was no trauma, and they directly broke and fell to the ground.

Thirty Ming chariots spread in front of their own defense line.

And his own army of 30,000 is helpless to take it!

Well, there are no more thirty thousand.

The three thousand elephant army was defeated at this moment, and was chased and strangled by a thousand firecrackers behind the Ming chariot, and sooner or later it would be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

The 4,000 crossbowmen on the hills on the left and right sides suffered more than 30 percent of the battle losses under continuous shelling.

Of the 500 people in the artillery position, only a few dozen remained.

The 10,000 men on the frontal defensive line, after being washed by the Ming artillery, suffered more than 10% of the battle losses, organized three attacks, each time 2,000 people, 6,000 people came back alive and 4,000 people.

Under the frantic firepower of the Ming chariot, countless people were injured.

These people have also lost their combat effectiveness.

In other words, even with the reserve forces deployed behind the defensive line, there are no more than 20,000 people who can be put into battle!

How long has it been?

Ba Song never imagined that war could be fought like this.

In just half an hour, 30,000 people on his side were beaten like shit, the key is that they didn't even touch the edge of the enemy's clothes, and they were slaughtered by the Ming chariot about thirty percent at a distance of a few hundred steps.

It's so aggrieved.

But Ba Song did not give up.

This is war.

This is the invasion war of the Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't give up.

Because behind him, is the largest pass city on the border of Nanzhang, and it is the entire Nanzhang, once the war is lost, the home is gone, and the country is gone, he will think that Annan will be reduced to a part of the Ming Dynasty like Zhancheng.

Ba Song will fight to the end.

And the sons under his command, even if they have been killed by the Ming chariot, they still did not escape.

It is said that more than 30% of the battle damage has collapsed.

But these southern soldiers knew that they could not collapse and retreat, because there was no way out.

And there are nearly 20,000 more.

The main general Ba Song also told everyone, waiting for the time to counterattack!

There were only thirty Daming chariots.

There's only so much ammunition it can hold.

Once the ammunition is exhausted, it is a lamb to the slaughter.

When the time comes, avenge the fallen robes!

So they're waiting.

Wait for your time.

The military order conveyed by the guard general Ba Song is very simple: once the Ming chariot stops shooting, it is when it runs out of ammunition, and then the cavalry will go out and pursue with all its might, and the foot soldiers will quickly follow up and completely destroy the Daming chariot.

As a general, Ba Song's vision is not wrong.

But he was still wrong.

Because soon, the 1,000 muskeoners who followed the tank had completely routed the elephant army - of course, they were not all wiped out, after all, the number was small, and the elephant soldiers were fleeing for their lives in all directions.

It's just that after the pursuit, the elephant army completely lost its combat effectiveness.

The battle damage also exceeded fifty percent.

But for now, at least, Ba Song will not be able to gather the elephants.

It was unexpected.

The 1,000 firecrackers were not in a hurry to attack their own defense line, and the Ming Dynasty was scattered among the Ming chariots, maintaining a three-stage shooting formation, as if they were defending something.

What to defend against?

Ba Song soon knew.

Because in his eyes, a black cavalry appeared in the distance.

It's the Ming Dynasty's cavalry!

Ba Song gasped.

Mu Cong's main force has arrived?!

To Ba Song's surprise, the cavalry that seemed to be full of 5,000 was very slow, and after approaching, Ba Song found that there were indeed nearly four or five thousand horses, but only 1,000 cavalry.

Each of those people carried three war horses, and after they arrived, they did not attack their own defense line, but went to the side of the Daming chariot and quickly carried supplies to the Daming chariot.

This is the logistics supply team of the Ming Chariot!

The point is that you have nothing to do with it.

Because the Daming chariot is still bombarding and firing continuously, as long as the side rushes out of the front, it is still a situation where a large number of people fall to the ground and die.

I could only watch as the Daming chariot replenished ammunition.

Ba Song could only sigh, and he didn't know what to say in his heart: "......"

He was really desperate!

It's a hammer!
