Chapter 067: Battle of Gaizhou III

'Woo...'

The melodious sound of the bull's horn sounded, which meant that one side was about to attack.

Chen Cao set up a Taishi chair not far in front of the artillery array, and sat there with a golden sword like a military leader in the late Ming Dynasty, and then commanded the Quartet.

"Master..."Yidu's cronies and servants rode over, their faces full of anxiety: "Da Qiye, he..."

Seeing the appearance of his cronies and servants, Eyi knew what he meant, and nodded: "I know, go down." After speaking, he stared ahead and said, "Attack." ”

Han Dai received the order, drew his long knife, shouted, and rushed towards Chen Cao's large array with three thousand cavalry.

Chen Cao was fascinated, so he listened to Zhao Xin: "Uncle, the Tartar cavalry split into three ways and killed our two wings. ”

"That's the case," Chen Cao said with a smile, these people only have this kind of tactics, and in Chen Cao's opinion, they are still a bit old-fashioned: "The orders given to the armies on both wings, no matter how the Tartars try to attack, can only attack back with bows and arrows, and are not allowed to go out of the car formation." ”

"Yes..."

"Ulala..."

The Han Dynasty rushed towards the ditch with more than 1,000 horsemen, and the position of the vanguard that the two Tang Kainian brothers in the ditch fought for with great difficulty, although they lost more than 300 brothers on the night of the night attack, but fortunately, the establishment was also complete, and it was more than enough to fight against more than 700 people against this more than 1,000 horsemen.

"It's close, listen to it, Uncle said, it doesn't matter if you run out of ammunition, I'm afraid you can't afford to fight, everyone is dead, and you have to change to a Tartar cavalry, Uncle said that the Jiannu population is limited, and you can't afford to fight a war of attrition, so you give Lao Tzu a hard beat." Tang Kainian walked back and forth in the trench and said loudly.

Tang Yannian looked up and saw that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was getting closer and closer, so he drew his sword and shouted: "The thousandth household, shoot freely." ”

"Bang bang bang..."

The guns rang out, and the soldiers of the 1,000th household in the trench raised their guns one after another, and they perfectly dodged the attack of throwing weapons such as Tartar arrows and meteor hammers in the trench, and the trajectory of the lead bullet hit the war horses from time to time at a low angle, and those Tartars fell off the war horses but were trampled to death by the hooves of the horses galloping behind them.

Han Dai was shocked, and if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that there would not be many of his 1,000 people who could go back, so he shouted: "Throw all the meteor hammers and throwing spears into the trap." ”

This order is really embarrassing, the best strike effect of throwing objects on a high-speed galloping war horse is to attack a distant ground target, the trench is underground, and whoever can throw something into it is thanks to the blessing of the ancestors.

Because Tang Yannian was closest to the tunnel, a javelin of great luck was inserted straight in front of his eyes half a step, and the rest either fell in front of the tunnel or behind the tunnel.

"Withdraw..."Han Dai finally couldn't hold on, his cavalry was now only three hundred, and with this one charge, he lost nearly seven hundred people, but most of them were killed by wounded horses.

Eyidu looked at the battlefield from a distance, and saw that there were not many more than 1,000 cavalry left in the Han Dynasty, and his face was dark, but what made him relieved was that many of the cavalry who had divided their troops to attack the two wings broke through the chariot formation and were attacking the main formation of the Ming army.

But it's actually the most dangerous.

Once the cavalry slows down, it is a moving live target, and their number is too small, and it is a fool's dream to break through the Ming army's formation.

But that's what warplanes are.

Eyi drew his long knife: "The whole army is attacking..."

The mixed attack of infantry and cavalry is the quality and number of the army, Chen Caoman is more than 20,000 people, and there are 70,000 on the Yidu side, which is an overwhelming strength in terms of numbers.

"Uncle, the whole Tartar army has attacked." Zhao Xin said.

Chen Cao was waiting for this time, and immediately stood up, stood on the chair and looked: "Okay, order the artillery array, Zhuyuan load, and open the cannon." ”

"Yes..."

Halfway through his horse, he heard the sound of thunder, so he shouted: "The Ming army fires artillery, and all the cattle pay attention to dodge." ”

After the thunder, the shells galloped along the parabola.

The Tartars attacked in clusters, so the first thing to fire was solid shells, and the so-called one cannon could not erode ten miles, one mile was enough.

Li Yongfang's 40,000 horses, many of them were Ming troops who surrendered during the Fushun and Salhu battles.

Eyidu and others rode war horses and rushed out violently, and at this time, the thunder sounded again, because they saw the Tartars scattering, so at this moment ten rounds were ***.

At least 20 people were killed in each explosion, although there were not many people, but this was a kind of deterrent, and although those Liaodong veterans had defected to the enemy and treason, they were quite familiar with their own country's firearms.

Seeing this, Li Yongfang was horrified and immediately stopped the men to stop the soldiers who were going to run, and he was even more determined in his heart to send these people to Hetuara to repair the house for the armored people after this victory.

Chen Cao looked over from afar and saw that there were many of them, so he ordered: "Order Guanhaiwei and Yangzhou Wei to strictly prevent the safety of the two wings, and the rest of the guards will go out to kill the enemy." ”

"Yes..."

"Uncle has an order, Guanhai Wei Yangzhou Wei defends the two wings, and the rest of the people wait to go out to kill the enemy."

The cavalry of the Tartars was beaten in pieces, and the current situation is a great opportunity for Chen Cao's side: "Zhao Xin, when the killing begins, keep an eye on Wan Qing for me, you have seen him, expose the position of Eyidu to me, capture the thief first, capture the king first, kill Eyidu, these tens of thousands of horses are self-defeating." ”

"Yes..."

Wan Qing's name on the Jurchen side is Malha, and he is the most trusted servant of Eyidu, second only to his cronies.

At this moment, Eyi had already led the army to attack Chen Cao's front, but what awaited them was the merciless blow of muskets.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a burst of gunshots, and the Tartars who rushed to the ground one after another fell to the ground and wailed, and if they were lucky, they died directly, of course, because there were a lot of pawns mixed in, because there were Jurchen people around them, so they had to face the scalp and go up.

Finally...

The first flintlock musket with an exploding chamber appeared in the Qianhu team in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, because of the long-term shooting, the heat of the barrel has long been unable to adapt to the impact after the burning of the gun/powder, resulting in the flintlock pistol in the hand of a right guard pawn was ignited by the too hot barrel when it was ready to load the bullet and exploded the chamber, the position is at the door, where it is the weakest, and the barrel will not have problems because it is forged from mille-feuille steel.

"Big brother, what if it blows up like this?" Tang Yannian frowned and said urgently.

Tang Kainian couldn't care about it so much, and scolded sharply: "If the bore is blown up, the bayonet will be put on, and if there is no bore, the gun will continue to shoot, and the Tartar can't break through the formation and go back to your position." ”

"Hey..."Tang Yannian was reprimanded, and then went to command again.

The muskets of the right guard rained lead bullets on the Tartar infantry like a beehive, and few of the frontal attackers could get close to the trench, and under this strong suppression, the Tartar infantry who were not very firm in their minds began a huge rout.

"Run..."

Escape matters..."

Seeing this, the overseers of Eyidu immediately drew their knives and cut down a soldier who had escaped, shouting: "Whoever dares to run will die." ”

Advancing is death, and retreating is also death, it is better to rush in and survive.

Suddenly, the Tartar foot soldiers made up their minds to rush forward.

"Uncle, I saw Wan Qing." Zhao Xin stood on the war horse and shouted.

Chen Cao always remembered Wan Qing's words, and also learned from Zhao Xin's appearance to stand on horseback, and looked in the direction of Zhao Xin's finger, and saw Wan Qing riding a horse next to a group of Tartar generals, a Tartar dressed in bright yellow cloth armor and a lightning rod on his head was wielding a knife to command, plus Wan Qing said that the age of Yidu, the white beard was floating in the wind, Chen Cao was overjoyed: "Quick, call me the commander of the mortar." ”

Ning Guoxing, a hundred households of the artillery team, ran over with a mortar squad and saluted Chen Cao.

Chen Cao was very anxious, for fear of losing his target: "Don't it, come up." ”

Ning Guoxing stood on horseback with the help of Zhao Xin, looked at Chen Cao's hand, and then frowned: "Uncle, but the man with the bright yellow helmet?" But there are a few of them. ”

Chen Cao frowned, too, and then pointed at Wan Qing and said, "Did you see that round-faced man, it's the one next to them." ”

There are a lot of people around Eyidu, but Wan Qing is next to Eyidu, his dark round face is unusually eye-catching, Ning Guoxing said: "I saw it." ”

Saying that, Ning Guoxing used the method on the drill code, raised the thumb of his right hand, and squinted his eyes to compare his forehead: "Seven hundred steps away, order, adjust the muzzle." ”

The soldier next to the horse immediately turned the small rotary joystick of the mortar base and tilted the muzzle: "Report to the lord, the distance has been adjusted." ”

"Put..."

Another soldier put a **** at the muzzle of the gun and put it in.

Boom...

The sound was not loud, the smoke was not loud, and Chen Cao could see a small black dot flying quickly towards Yidu with his naked eye.

Eyidu was commanding, and suddenly there was an explosion in the position of a dozen paces in front of him.

Frightened, he lowered his head to dodge, and more than a dozen people fell at the point of impact, and he was already breathless.

They were all shocked.

"Ning Guoxing, you're the miss." Chen Cao scolded angrily.

Ning Guoxing compared again very quickly, and shouted: "Seven hundred and fifty steps away, three right-hand rotations, fire cannons..."

"Put..."

Boom...

Wan Qing was a little suspicious when he exploded for the first time, but when he saw that he was so flustered, he was a little prepared in his heart, so he deliberately stayed away from Er Yidu for almost five seats, and at this moment, Wan Qing, who couldn't help but look up at the sky, saw a black dot flying towards him, and he was horrified, and immediately turned over and dismounted, blocking the war horse in front of him.

Eyidu was commanding, and suddenly a loud bang exploded in his ears, and the whole person lost consciousness.

Li Yongfang was thrown off the horse by the qi wave, and immediately bleed from his mouth and nose.

This cannon hit very accurately, and the impact point was five steps to the right of Eyidu, and the explosion at this position was enough to blow up all the people around a dozen paces.

Li Yongfang's life is big, he is not very close to Eyidu, and Eyidu has a few sons and cronies around him to protect him, but it is useless.

Chen Cao directly saw that his forehead was blown off the horse, and he was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but hammer his hands, and then said, "Ning Guoxing, you did a good job." ”

Ning Guoxing also watched the target fall off the horse, and then dismounted and handed over: "It's just a lowly duty." ”

The workshop has developed a total of ten ****, and it took almost four months for this alone, which is very precious, now that the goal has been achieved, Chen Cao can no longer waste it, so he said: "Take back the mortar, continue to go to the gun position and wait for orders." ”

"Yes..."

"Amma... Amma..."Chaohar, the thirteenth son of Eyidu, was seriously injured and dragged his left hand, which was injured by shrapnel after the explosion, to Eyidu's side.

At this moment, his forehead is lying on the ground, the corners of his mouth are bleeding, and his right intercostal position is bleeding.

Liu Aita led the army to cover the attack on both wings, the speed was not very fast, and there was a feeling of grinding foreign workers, and seeing that there was chaos on the side of Eyidu, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop attacking.

Chen Cao struck while the iron was hot, mounted his war horse, drew his knife and ordered: "Order, the whole army will attack, Zhao Xin, let them shout to me, they are all dead, all those who surrender to the Tartars of my Ming army, as long as they surrender, Ben Bo assures them that the court is not to blame in the past." ”

"Yes..."Zhao Xin threw up his horse and rode away.

Chen Cao raised his sword: "All the soldiers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, beat the drums, and the whole army will attack..."

"Kill..."

The Ming army, which had been blindly defensive before, suddenly rushed out of the trench and formation at the moment when the drums sounded, and rushed towards the opponent with spears and knives.

The momentum is like a rainbow.

"The Ming Dynasty has an order for Wubo, and the soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered to the Tartars listen well, as long as your equipment surrenders, the court will not be to blame for the past..."

"The Ming Dynasty has an order for Wubo, and the soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered to the Tartars listen well, as long as your equipment surrenders, the court will not be to blame for the past..."

"The Ming Dynasty has an order for Wubo, and the soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered to the Tartars listen well, as long as your equipment surrenders, the court will not be to blame for the past..."

On the battlefield, the Tartars who were rushing to kill suddenly heard the shouts coming from the opponent's side, and they were all stunned, and everyone heard it clearly.

Liu Aita also heard it, and when he saw that the Ming army took the initiative to attack, he immediately ordered his cronies and servants: "Immediately send an order, the general army has an accident, the whole army retreats, quickly..."

"Tsk..."

Li Yongfang was already a frightened bird, and suddenly saw that the soldiers on both wings of him were retreating, and he was shocked at the moment, and the herald quickly came to report: "E, the big thing is not good, General Liu heard that something happened to the chief soldier, and they are all retreating." ”

"What?" Li Yongfang was shocked, and when he saw the soldiers on the battlefield in front of him suddenly turn against him, wielding a knife and slashing the Jurchens who were supervising the army, he immediately panicked: "Quickly retreat, retreat..."

Han Dai was not injured, but when he saw his Ama and thirteenth brother like this, he was also horrified, and all the troops in front were running away, and he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he ordered his subordinates to put all of them on the war horses, and then he quickly retreated and ran away with Chaohar.

The defeat was like a mountain...

On the battlefield, as long as there is a rout, if the army generals are mediocre and can't stop at all, Eyi is one of the five ministers, prestigious, and has never been defeated in his life, if he doesn't have an accident, even if there is a rout, it can be stopped, but those Ming troops who surrendered to the Tartars have seen Eyi fall to the ground, and the command position is in a panic, so one by one they have defected in order to survive, and there is a promise from Dingwubo, and the court will definitely let them make up for it...
