Chapter 80: Magic Power
Tens of thousands of cavalry became bandits in an instant from soldiers, and robbers were no different. Killing people, killing people is their only task now.
They don't need Khan's command. Killing is just one of their many instincts. The two cavalry dispersed in an instant, and both sides chased forward, and the cavalry became scattered soldiers. These hunters on the grassland seem to have returned to the grassland and hunted their prey together. It's just that this time it's not a beast, but a human. But this is no different for them, which means that life will be better in the future?
60,000 cavalrymen chased and killed the scattered Ming soldiers. Many Tatar cavalry shot and waved their arms freely, as if they were so free and refreshing for the first time in their lives. It was not until their hands groped in the arrow pot behind them that they found that the arrows had already shot out, so they immediately pulled out the saber and drove the horse forward, catching up with the Ming army that could only hold the head and rat. One knife by one, driven by the forward inertia of the horse, the battle knife became sharper, one by one, and the sharp edge one by one A cutout was pulled out on the back of the Ming man.
Now, these hunters and killed have left instincts, one is the instinct of life and the other is the instinct of killing. These Mingjun can only escape desperately. They can only watch and listen to their teammates cut to the ground by the flying Tatari, and then pray in their hearts that the next one is not themselves. However, basically, if the Tatans kills the people next to you, how can they not continue to cut you down? After praying for nothing, we have to welcome this "great moment".
Gradually, the scattered Ming army fled to the east side of Yingzhou City without fleeing into the city. The terrain of Yingzhou is high in the east and low in the west. Of course, this is also relative. There are several highs and lows in the east and a few lowlands, and the terrain is somewhat rugged. It seems that these Mingjun haven't been stupid yet?! He also knows how to run to places where these cavalry are not easy to move.
"But..." Boyan just praised the other party slightly. But this is not good..."
Boyan Mengkeyao watched his brigade kill to the mountains on the east side of Yingzhou City. Then, Bo Yan just needs to wait to report to herself that the Ming army has been annihilated, leaving only the empty city in front of her.
Bum!————Bum-Bum-Bum-
In an instant, a huge fire suddenly flashed there. Bo Yan was caught off guard and didn't wink at all of a sudden. What! What's the matter?"
The mountain shook for a while.
"It's coming" Wu Zheng was very nervous. He felt a bitter throat, which was caused by nervousness. I just heard the cry and the sound of arrows falling from afar. Because the scale of the arrow rain was too large, Wu Zheng thought that the fly was spinning around him from afar.
Seeing many scattered soldiers flee into his own formation, Wu Zheng's uneasy heart was slightly relieved. The Ming army, which fled back, slipped through a mountain pass on the side of the army, went to the rear of the army to receive medical treatment and rest. This is also the only comfort they can give to the remaining survivors.
The 2,000 cavalry where Wu Zheng was located were divided into two teams, listed in the side direction of the 3,000 firearms, while the artillery position of the Ming army was located on an open high ground a little farther away.
The army was already in array at night, waiting for the dawn and the fog to subsip.
"It's coming!" Wu Zheng no longer feels nervous. I only heard a faint sound and waited--
Fan Qianxun, a military minister in the Shenji camp, was specially appointed by Zhengde as the commander of all firearms troops of the army. The firearms and artillery were all dispatched by one of them. And the real commander of this army is Emperor Zhengde himself.
Far away, Wu Zheng didn't look very seriously, but on the high ground in that array, he still saw a huge, golden Wang Yi halogen book, golden umbrella cover standing straight there, and behind which was a huge yellow dragon battle flag.
Is His Majesty there?
Wu Zheng can't think so much now. He is very old. This is the first time to go to the battlefield, which can be regarded as "the first battle of veterans". The little tension and worry that existed has been completely eliminated under the influence of the bright umbrella cover of the emperor. How glorious it is to fight in the emperor's army! If you can survive in the future, you have to show off and tell others!
If, in case you fight bravely, you will be killed by the emperor...
At this time, not only Wu Zheng, but also all the soldiers in the whole army will more or less have this idea in their hearts.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill the Tatans and make great contributions!"
Many Tatar cavalrymen who rushed over now regretted that they had a feverish mind and lost their brains. They still know that the Ming people's firearms are sharp, but it's too late. Even if you want to turn around the horse, it's impossible. There are still people coming from far behind. Now more than 10,000 Tatar cavalry have gathered on the plain in front of the mountain, which is not very large. Just as the first Tatar cavalry on the brunt, they saw the array of gunshots, and even if they turned around, they did not have this ability.
It's not that the few Tatar soldiers have been scared to death by this kind of tiger riding. And the comrades behind him still kept rushing forward and pouring their eyebrows here.
"All right. It's time." Fan Qianxun's heart suddenly palpitated. I don't know if it's excitement or fear.
"Fire!"————
Bum!————Bum-Bum-Bum-
In an hour, the earth shook and there was an earthquake.
The first round of fire was fired by a thousand firemen in the first row at the same time, and there were 20 copper guns, ten tiger guns, plus five Franco machine guns and general guns on the Ming army artillery positions in the distance. Around the artillery position, there were also small bowl general guns scattered around the artillery position. These guns are mixed with more than 60 guns, densely distributed throughout the highlands.
With the command's order, dozens of artillery fired at the same time.
For a while, more than 60 huge fire mouths emitted bursts of gunpowder fire. The sound was huge, like a landslide, and suddenly "the landslide destroyed the tartans to death, and then the ladder stone stacks were connected."
In an instant, the sun opened the sky, the fire was like a torch, and sparks were everywhere. At the moment when the shell came out, the mixed wind was really much more violent than the previous 60,000 arrow rain in the Tatars.
It can be said that at the same time, this thousand fire bullets, plus more than 60 shells, landed, hit and hit the position of the Tatar cavalry at the same time.
At that time, the most important thing in firearm warfare was this sudden deterrence and lethality, as well as the unparalleled trauma of any other weapon to the enemy's morale.
This is a collision between cold weapons and modern*. Although the gunpowder weapons of this era still have great defects and weaknesses, this does not affect their prominent role in this balanced battle.
Because it seems to be the first fire attack, the Ming army has enough time to prepare. This expedition, Emperor Zhengde went hunting in order to hunt in autumn, and in order to go to the customs of foreign fireworks, he also specially ordered the Military Bureau, and the Firearm Bureau to create land stumblings and tens of enemies that are easy to catch prey. Emperor Zhengde has loved Yanyang firearms since he was a child. This box slipped out of the hunt and specially brought these incendiary weapons. I thought it could be used to watch or drive away the prey outside the gate. But I really didn't expect it to be useful in this situation.
This trip is a mine of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not a mine in the modern sense, it is also buried underground. When the enemy approaches, it ignites the fuse on the ground and detonates firearms. At the same time, it is buried in the underground pharmacy with a large amount of iron sand and nails, which is the same principle as the iron shell flowering bomb. Wei Very strong.
And ten thousand enemies are primitive*. Once ignited, they will continue to burn, and at the same time, the projectile will continue to break and shoot sparks. It is very powerful.
In advance, there were Ming military craftsmen who planted mines in front of the army, pulled the fuse, and waited for the Tarans to charge, and then they could kill them again.
This time, the Ming army used all the iron shell flowering bombs at one time, a total of 30 pieces, plus the remaining solid shells hit the gathering place of the Tatar cavalry army.
This flowering bomb is an artifact to counter large targets and clustered targets. In addition to this thousand bullets, the ping-pong sound was loud.
More than 10,000 gathered tars were centered by the flowering bomb. The iron sand released by this flowering bomb exploded in the army can kill within ten feet. At the same time, when firing, the bombardment site of the artillery was also finely adjusted, and the muzzle was facing one target, trying to avoid the phenomenon of two shells falling in the same place and avoiding waste of firepower.
It was this roar that passed, the horses' hoofs splashed everywhere, and a group of cavalry were injured and dismanted, and some of them died immediately. Many people were surrounded by wounds and fell from top. From head to toe, they were blown away by iron sand and iron nails. What's more, he was shot at the same time before and behind him, and his body stood so straight on the horse and died.
Horses are more vulnerable because their targets are larger. Many iron sands were also covered, covering the war horse. The horses were covered with blood and fell down in pain and hissed on the ground.
The knights on it were also thrown off the horse one after another. In this chaotic army, dismantling from the horse means death. The injured and painful war horse on the ground was hissing, stamping the horse's hoofs crazily, the huge horse's hoofs stepped on the ground, stepping on the ground full of blood, and the withered grass was re-dyed and turned bright red.
At this time, the second round of strikes came, and the firemen in the back row took over the firemen still smoking in the front row and handed them over from the firemen in their hands.
