0712 artillery massacre

Then he said loudly: "These Mongolian *** actually learn the methods of our ancestors to scare people! Do they light two torches and think we can't see it? It's stupid!"

Officers at all levels quickly passed on Liu Haojia's words, which immediately caused a burst of laughter among the soldiers! The soldiers also felt that there was something wrong with the minds of these Mongols, and they actually used their brains compared with the Han Chinese! So the prestige that Hatch painstakingly built was wiped out in Liu Haojia's words!

However, Hatch didn't know this, and he felt that he would definitely scare his opponent, so he launched an attack with confidence!

This time, the cavalry who rushed ahead all lay on their horses and held up a huge shield to protect the horses and themselves. The others were also holding crude wooden shields. It seems that he wanted to block the shot of lead bullets with this large wooden shield!

But this is simply wishful thinking! In the face of this situation, the officers of the Wu'an Army had been prepared for a long time, and they didn't take this tactic seriously at all! The wooden shield is very large, and it is no problem to block lead bullets. But can it hold off shells? You have a big goal as a cavalryman, and you are holding such a large wooden shield, are you afraid that I will not be able to see you?

So without waiting for those cavalry to get closer, the artillery was the first to fire! Moreover, Liu Haojia concentrated most of the artillery on the front, and now there are 50 artillery pieces on the north wall of the wall, which are divided into two groups to fire in turn, where can those cavalry rush over!

The cannonball hit the wooden shield, and the wooden shield shattered in an instant, and the cavalry was lucky enough to be directly pierced through the chest by the artillery and was directly killed! The unlucky arms were broken, and he was pierced by the flying wooden thorns and fell to the ground wailing! So these three rows of cavalry with huge shields did not play any role at all, and they were beaten to pieces!

And the cavalry in the back row is too superstitious about the giant shield, so they follow very closely! This fully unleashes the lethality of solid shells! Basically, each shell can take at least two people's lives! Even after landing, you have to take one or two horse legs with you! It can be said that these Mongol cavalry suffered heavy losses!

Especially after the musketeers began to shoot, rows of buckshot shot down the cavalry companies and horses! Some of the cavalrymen with wooden shields really blocked the attack of lead bullets, but they also shook half of their shoulders! Then he was killed by a second buckshot! Some of the unlucky ones didn't sit still, and were directly knocked off the horse by the impact of the buckshot and died without a place to be buried!

However, since it was not yet dawn at this time, the artillery could only fire when the Mongol cavalry appeared in the light of the fire, so the firing distance was relatively short. This gives them a chance to rush over! But just when the Mongol cavalry had already approached the wall, and some people threw their flying grabs at the wall, and some people rushed towards the baggage vehicles, those artillery trucks disguised as baggage vehicles finally became powerful! Look at the book

The impatient artilleryman, who had been waiting for a long time, reached out and pushed open the gun window, and the other two soldiers worked together to push the cannon, sticking the muzzle out and fixing the gun to the cart. And then the gunner lit the fuse of the artillery!

These cannons are full of shotguns, and when they are shot, a barrage will be formed within 50 paces and sweep over, and the cavalry companies and horses at the front of the entire battlefield will be beaten into a sieve!

But that's not the end! There are a total of five Franc cannons! I saw an artilleryman twist and pull, and the empty Zi Gong was pulled out! The artillery who had already been prepared next to him filled the next gun and loaded it, and the other person plugged in the fuse and prepared to shoot!

The artillerymen's fluid movements took less than three seconds, but it was enough for the Mongol cavalry to get close to the corpse-strewn field in front of them again! As a result, before they could break out of the range of the last cavalry casualties, the second round of artillery fire again!

In this way, the Franc machine gun, which can be quickly loaded, has the feeling of firing in turns, and the entire wall is full of artillery guns one after another! The dense lead bullets swept across the battlefield over and over again, knocking down the Mongol cavalry who rushed to the front one by one, and in an instant the front of the battle turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Seeing this scene, the three firearms didn't care about anything else, and shouted almost at the same time: "Retreat! Fall back! Withdraw quickly!"

But without their greetings, the Mongol cavalry in the vanguard had already retreated! They were already frightened by the dense artillery in front! And when they turned around and ran back, the Wu'an army also pursued three rounds of fire and one round of artillery bombardment!

Wait until the sound of guns and artillery ceases

At that time, there was not a single active Mongol on the battlefield, except for the wounded who were still groaning!

When the people and horses withdrew, the three of them were so distressed that they almost cried! From a rough point of view, Hatch's losses alone were close to three hundred, and Hatch's soldiers and horses were in the center, which was the focus of artillery care, so the number of dead and wounded in his tribe was the largest!

And even many of the people who fled back were also wounded, and many were even seriously injured, just coming back with a breath! Hatch watched as one of the horsemen fell from his horse with his stomach in his hands, and died without catching it!

After this cavalryman got off his horse, it was like an example, and many people planted it from their horses one after another! Although there were people who came to their aid and helped to tie their wounds, people kept dying!

The three of Hatch looked at these cavalrymen and were all miserable! They know that although these people can't die now, they can't escape death when they return to the tribe! It's a fluke to survive, but I'm afraid it's also useless! I didn't eat the mutton now, but I made a fuss! More than thirty percent of the tribal elite is wasted here!

As for the tribe of Ansger and the two people, it is much smaller than the tribe of Hatch, and the loss this time makes them even more distressed! Bahu Nai simply made up his mind and said loudly, "I can't fight anymore! If you continue to fight, you won't be able to break through the camp of the Ming army if you fill all the sons and daughters in the tribe, this Ming army is too evil!"

Hatch looked at Ansger and, seeing that he also nodded in agreement, ordered a retreat. And these Mongol cavalry really came and went, they hurriedly checked all the wounded, and the seriously wounded were directly mended, and then tied the dead and wounded together on their horses, and took advantage of the darkness before dawn to quickly retreat to the north.

At this time, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army in the camp were cheering loudly to vent their pride and fear in their hearts! Especially those artillerymen who were taken care of by the infantry! Pat your head and beat your back, and punch your chest! They expressed their love for the artillery in that rough way, and beat the artillerymen to a scream, but there was smugness in the shouting!

The soldiers had just laughed for a moment when they were interrupted by the officers, who instructed them to adjust their weapons and rest the walls. Send someone outside to cut off the head, pull the dead horse, and be busy!
