Chapter 145: Firearms Suppression

At this time, the Mongol soldiers defending the city were beating drums on the tower.

It was clear that he was also urgently sending the signal and mobilizing a large army to garrison the walls.

Zhou Xian said: "Lu Delin, don't need any hesitation, open fire." ”

"Yes!"

……

When Hazier in the city put on his armor and walked out of the general's palace with many cronies and generals.

Originally, I planned to go to the castle tower to personally supervise the battle.

But there was a whistling sound in the sky.

Immediately after that, a dozen shells landed on buildings as far as his eye could see.

In an instant, those buildings were destroyed.

The deafening sound even blasted the debris on the city walls into the air.

Rows and rows of Mongol defenders were blown up, and lychees hung on trees......

The power of fifteen artillery pieces was already terrifying to the Mongols.

After a wave of artillery fire, the Ming army outside the city fell silent again.

At this time, Lu Delin did not give the order of the army to attack the city at all.

For he knew that Hazir did not eat dry rice either.

There are also several layers of defense within Datong City.

Even if the city gate is breached, it will be ambushed by Hazir in the urn city inside.

Therefore, Lu Delin once again ordered the artillery fighters to continue to reload.

Keep banging!

Zhou Xian, who personally supervised the battle, listened to the deafening sound and watched the artillery fire burst on the city wall.

It's like a return to modern society all of a sudden.

It's as if you're fighting a modern war.

Hazir in the city was also taken aback.

He didn't dare to go up the city wall easily.

For this cannon, Hazir is very familiar.

Because not so long ago, Zarbak had obtained it from the Ming army.

And it has been tested in actual combat.

It can be said that Zalbak was able to break through the fifty-two forts of Datong in half a month.

Relying on the power of most of these cannons.

Now Zalbach has been wiped out.

It was clear that the cannons he had captured had also been returned to their rightful owners.

Hazir listened attentively, and from the dense sound of artillery, he roughly judged the firepower outside.

At this moment, Hazier's whole person was directly numb.

Because he has been coordinating the army.

The one who really fought was Zarbak.

So Hazier had not witnessed the power of Ming artillery before.

His knowledge of the redcoat cannon was limited to the historical facts that had already happened.

At that time, a war broke out between the Jurchens in the north and the Ming Dynasty on the Ningyuan defense line.

Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Ningyuan in the Ming Dynasty, relied on such artillery to deter Nurhachi.

It made the Jiannu people frightened of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Hazier didn't expect that as soon as the Ming army came, he would directly sacrifice that kind of big killing weapon.

If they were allowed to bombard indiscriminately, the soldiers under the command of Hazir would not dare to approach the city walls.

What does this mean?

It means that after his troops lose the protection of the city wall, they will completely become a lonely party.

And what is most difficult for Hazir to accept.

Looks tall on the city walls.

was actually bombarded by the Ming army.

Many of the troop transport passages on the city walls were directly collapsed by the strong earthquake before they were bombed.

Hazier could not understand the Ming Dynasty's tofu slag project.

Before, I only felt that Mingren had a black belly.

Now I feel that I am too shabi.

Knowing that the quality of the city wall is not very good, he still has to send troops to defend it.

Do you hold on?

Now Hazir regrets it.

He should have taken advantage of the chaos to loot the fifty-two forts of Datong instead of dividing his troops to defend them.

He should have led the army south to Yanmen Pass half a month ago.

Then plundered the wealth of the Ming Dynasty on the land of Shanxi.

Right now......

It seems that everything is late.

Zhou Xiandao: "Lu Delin, it's time for Jin Wuwei to show his power again." ”

Zhou Xian found that the city wall was in tatters.

There are quite a few gaps that can be entered.

Now it only takes Lu Delin to lead Jin Wuwei to rush in.

However, Zhou Xian's order had just been issued.

Hazir, who was cowering in the city, also made corresponding changes.

He ordered his soldiers to rush out.

That's right!

Hazir is gone.

He's going to attack.

To be precise, he wanted to break through the encirclement of the Ming army before the Ming army entered the city, and then fled all the way to the green prairie.

Of course, that's the worst-case scenario.

For Hazir now, he feels that he still has an advantage.

Because he found that the front armies of the Ming army were all Praetorian Guards, and the Praetorian Guards themselves were professional defenders of the city because of their functions.

So it's all infantry.

And the Jin Wuwei, who was used to charge, had been pressing the rear of the infantry.

This gave Hazir an opportunity.

He felt that his cavalry had a high probability of rushing out and breaking the front line of the Ming army, and the victory rate was also very high.

So Hazir personally mounted his horse and called on all the soldiers under his command to follow him and charge into battle.

Soon, Hazir was stunned.

As he approached the front of the battle, he suddenly found that he was facing an opponent who was not infantry at all.

It is the Shenji Battalion that has disappeared from history for ten years in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the flintlock pistol worn by the Shenji Battalion looks like a spear with it.

So from a certain distance, Hazir mistook it for an infantryman.

That's right, Zhou Xian was ready for a long time.

Just as he used three batches of flintlock muskets to knock down Zalbach's cavalry at Yanmen Pass.

At this time, the new flintlock pistol developed by Xu Rongbing in the Ming Dynasty burst out with amazing power.

Bursts of fire erupted from the barrel of the small, delicate fire.

With each flint, a Mongol cavalryman fell.

Hazir raised his whip and hurriedly stabilized his figure.

He was stunned.

But there is no complete confusion.

Instead, he shouted loudly and ordered the cavalry that followed behind him to spread out towards both flanks.

More than 10,000 people formed a semi-circular formation and pressed towards the Ming Dynasty army.

Hazier's tactics are also very simple, that is, he made it clear that he would use cavalry to wrap the dumplings of the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion.

However, Lu was prepared.

The cavalry of the Jinwu Guard, which he deliberately placed in the rear of the army, was to guard against Hazier's hand.

And the reason why the cavalry was to be left behind was also expected to be desperate.

Sure enough, Lu Delin expected Hazier's thoughts.

Therefore, the Jinwu Guard cavalry also quickly stepped forward to meet the enemy on both sides.

Cavalry hedge.

People turn on their backs.

Hazir watched as his winged iron cavalry was mercilessly crushed by a large array of neatly colored bright-armored cavalry.

In a matter of moments, his cavalry suffered thousands of casualties.

Hazir was stunned.

Zhou Xian watched calmly on the tall horse.

Now the cavalry of the Jin Wuwei has been like sharp knives, unscrupulously cutting through Hazir's military formation.

Cut from one piece into two pieces.

Two pieces and four pieces......

The Hazir Legion, which was already inferior in strength, had been completely exposed to the criss-crossing swords of the Ming army.

And Lu Delin raised the command flag.

At this time, the heavy infantry of the Praetorian Guard, who had been waiting for a long time, could rush into the city unimpeded.
