Chapter 238: This is the Future

Day 3.

"Look, isn't there a war horse?"

Wang Yue looked ahead with interest, a large number of cavalry were pouring out of the humble Guancheng, and then they began to line up with their backs to the Guancheng......

This is Suzhou Pass.

In fact, it is the bee waist in the north of Dalian Bay.

It was originally a bee waist several kilometers wide, but it turned out that there was a mountain on one side, and the tidal flat with high tide on the other side, and there was only more than one kilometer of passage left in the middle, and an earthen wall was cut off casually, and a gate city was set aside in the middle, and the outside was the wharf, and all the merchant ships that came here unloaded their goods, and they had to pay taxes at Suzhou Pass before they could go north to enter the market of the entire Liaodong.

So the Jurchens didn't mind Wang Yue's landing.

From the mouth of Arthur to here, it was a full two-day walk, which was enough for them to mobilize nearby troops to come and wait.

In this kind of place, the cavalry is to crush the infantry.

They didn't need to go over the mountains and run to the Lushun Pass to take the initiative to attack.

"That's at least 2,000 cavalry."

Ma Kuo said.

Standing on a high vantage point, he could even see behind Seki Castle.

The surging cavalry was constantly passing through the fortress and then appearing on the battlefield in the south.

"To me, you are like a chicken, you take your brothers to fight, I will go to the back to block the door, and the enemy must be annihilated in this battle."

Wang Yue said.

After speaking, he directly carried the Mo knife and walked towards the mountains and forests.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Ma Kuo immediately shouted.

All the infantry in front of him moved forward silently, lined up in the barren grass between the mountains and the sea.

The cavalry on the opposite side would not give them enough time, and at the same time, the cavalry that was the first to go out of the pass could not wait to attack, and more than five hundred cavalry rushed wildly, bending their bows and arrows on horseback one by one, but the infantry on this side were unmoved, and still silently completed their formation. Soon the first cavalry arrived, and the tentative attack did not need to come too close, and the arrows were fired at a distance of fifty meters, and then fell in the middle of the hoplites who had already raised their spears.

But there is no point.

These spearmen have reached the rank of three-quarters of the first.

The arrows fired by the less powerful cavalry bows could not penetrate the two-millimeter carburized wrought iron plates, and like falling hailstones, they smashed into the sound of ping-pong and bounced off one by one.

The spearmen laughed.

These guys are actually from Liaodong, and even many of them can speak Jurchen words, so they laugh at them directly.

The cavalry on the opposite side moved forward angrily, but the arrows shot from a distance of ten zhang were still useless, two millimeters of carburized wrought iron was really not something that a cavalry bow could shoot through, the British had done countless tests before the longbow bill, even if it was actually an infantry bow longbow for this kind of plate armor that could not be said whether it was steel or iron, two millimeters was still a difficult thickness to penetrate. One millimeter against stray arrows, one point five serious against arrows, two millimeters have to be a longbow to really shoot at close range, and a longbow up to three millimeters is useless to shoot at close range.

The cuirass of these soldiers was practically up to three millimeters.

Not to mention the cavalry bow, the infantry bow can't penetrate it at a distance of ten meters.

But at this time, the archers behind the spearmen could already harvest the cavalry.

These cavalrymen simply gave up their bows and arrows, and charged at full speed with their spears, and at this time the victorious army was in formation, just a simple line of infantry, spears, shields, and archers, as long as they ran through and broke down, on the contrary, if they were delayed, these infantry would stand up to resist their horses, cloth them with thistles, and even erect large oars and shields.

Thirty meters is only a blink of an eye.

The cavalry forward, who was firing with infantry bows, was three feet in a blink of an eye.

The brave Jurchen soldiers on horseback shouted, their spears pointed at the infantry behind their shields, ignoring the spears that were propped forward in their hands.

This moment of life-and-death decisive battle.

Crashing into it is victory, and any hesitation is death.

Such a charge did not retreat, and the turn was to be hit by the companions behind, and only by moving forward could he live.

There was a fragile line of infantry ahead.

If you hit it, it will run over like a stone that smashes an egg......

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the infantry turned into fire-breathing monsters.

Countless flames erupted densely from above those shields with a huge sound, and the entire infantry line was filled with fire and smoke, and at the same time, with the sound of breaking the air, countless unknown things hit the middle of the cavalry, and then shot out a splash of flesh and blood. Even the armor could not stop it, and the cavalry at the front instantly turned on their backs, and in the screams of terror and the mournful screams of the war horses, the few who survived found that their war horses under their crotches were turning around in horror and trying to escape.

Then they fell.

Then their follow-up cavalry also rammed into each other in confusion.

The entire infantry formation was full of fallen cavalry and horses in confusion, and only a few of them had completed the assault they had first envisioned, but they also fell in the thrust of the spears in the hands of the infantrymen.

A brave cavalryman got up from the ground and drew his sword and slashed at the chest of one of the infantrymen, but unfortunately the knife in his hand only cut a scratch in the latter's armor, and the latter struck him in the face with something like a pestle......

This thing is hot!

That's the last feeling of the Jurchen cavalry.

The cavalry behind them stopped in fright, and then looked at each other, this strange scene completely frightened them, and then they turned around and fled without hesitation.

"This is the future, this guy is not bad!"

Later, Ma Kuo said with emotion.

The important purpose of Wang Yue's lone expedition was to experiment with this semi-firearms army.

In fact, he prepared a three-eyed gun for all the soldiers, this thing is really weak, the current use of this kind of road goods, ten zhang distance can also penetrate the chain mail, twenty meters distance to really break the armor, but this is enough, unless the enemy learns to push the shield cart, otherwise after all, it will still taste the power of science and technology, the Ming army can use this thing to the country, it proves that this thing is really useful.

Arquebuses can indeed be made.

But the technical content of that one is much higher after all, not to mention that the barrel alone has to be drilled for a long time, and it is impossible to easily make it like this in a small workshop in Kaifeng now.

As for the cannon......

Wang Yue is still afraid that he will be killed by a bombardment!

This battle made all the Jurchens on the other side stop, it was obvious that this was beyond their understanding, and how Ah Guta died at this time had also spread everywhere, it was obvious that not only Wang Yue knew the demon law, but also had trained a legion that knew the demon law.

In that case......

Of course, you can't run away because of this.

The Jurchens at this time were not a hundred years later.

Since the other party knows how to demons, then it's better to use cannon fodder here.

These cavalrymen continued to maintain their vigilance in formation, and then called out the Bohai cannon fodder behind.

At this time, Ma Kuo's side was still in formation, just now it was actually more to scare the Jurchens back, and there were less than fifty people who were actually killed, and he knew the power of this thing very well, his infantry was still at a disadvantage in the face of cavalry, so what he needed was to establish a real formation. At the same time that the Jurchens were frightened, this side quickly began to refine their formation, diagonally inserting the rejecting horses buried in the ground, the shield wall discharged by logs, and also throwing thistles in front of the formation, and even digging trenches.

Including small trebuchets are also erected.

Behind them were the sailors led by Ruan Xiaoqi, who would follow them until they actually conquered Suzhou, and then continue to be responsible for transporting supplies for them until the coast froze, which was the end of September in the solar calendar, and they still had two months to go. As for the army led by Wang Yue, whether it will be withdrawn before the freeze depends on the progress of the war, if they can't directly attack Huanglong in two months, maybe they will stay in Liaodong and hold on until next year.

As for Wang Yue, it doesn't matter.

Even if he is frozen, how many days can he use it when he runs back from Liaodong?

The frightened Jurchen cavalry on the opposite side were still waiting for their cannon fodder, and the Bohai and Han people in this area were unlucky, and they were all armed to get out of the pass in their drive, and then prepared to attack this army of demon magic.

It's going to take time.

In fact, until dark, they were not able to launch a real attack.

Only a small number of cavalry continued to come over to harass, but they never dared to enter the range of ten zhang, the demon law is still very deterrent in this era, especially for these superstitious shamans Jurchen, in short, the next step is to let the cannon fodder use human lives to test the details of this demon law, these Jurchen warriors will attack, as for how many cannon fodder people die......

Who cares about the death toll of cannon fodder?

In this way, night soon fell, and in the middle of the night, the Jurchens drove the cannon fodder to make a tentative sneak attack, but they were once again frightened back by the three-eyed gun.

Then the two sides will not interfere with each other.

Then the next day came, in the morning the Jurchen army still did not attack, until the afternoon, their number of cannon fodder has been nearly 10,000, then began to attack again, driven by the Jurchen cavalry, those Bohai and Han cannon fodder, wearing rudimentary armor, holding shields and weapons, trembling forward. In front of them was already a well-established infantry defense line, densely planted behind the repulsive horses on the ground, behind the shield walls lined with logs, the heavy infantry was waiting for them.

In the midst of them, three-eyed guns protruded from the muzzles of their guns.

Behind them, small trebuchets waited, and in the skins behind them were small thunderbolts.

Ten pounds.

But it's easy to throw fifty paces away with this small trebuchet.

And the cannon fodder continued to move forward in the Jurchen cavalry drive.

Neither they nor the Jurchens behind them noticed that a ghostly figure was quietly walking towards the city gate behind them, and on the sea on both sides of them, centipede ships also quietly appeared to complete the blockade of the sea, and were even ready to land and occupy the city wall.

A wall that stretches across the wall.

There is sea water on both sides......

In other words, if this city gate is blocked, the food in Suzhou City on the other side cannot be transported to this city wall, so what will the 12,000 cavalry in the south eat?
