Chapter 36 Final Battle 7
At this time, the cannons in the Yu family army still kept ringing, and the shells still roared into the battlefield, hitting the soldiers of Jiannu heavily, and when they saw these thousands of fresh troops entering the battlefield again and rushing towards the Yu family army, the cannons of the Yu family army began to extend again and caught this A wave of slave cavalry.
Shells hit them heavily, harvesting one, two or three lives at each moment, and may even be more than a dozen slave cavalry. They tear them to pieces, or fall to the ground with their arms and legs and howl or make a hiss.
And this is not to mention that the Jiannu cavalry can still hear the sound of platoon guns. Although the platoons of each battalion do not fire at the same time and are commanded by the officers of each battalion, the sound of this row of guns shooting is still very different from the sound of sporadic shooting.
Since the sound of Yu's army's platoon shooting has not stopped, it means that their array has not been dispersed. Otherwise, it is impossible for Yu's army to organize such platoon shooting.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the speculation of some Jiannu at this time. Although the fierce offensive launched by the Jiannu cavalry has caused great pressure on the front of the Yu family army, the overall front of the family army is still intact.
But this does not mean that Yu Jiajun did not pay any price, and there was still a certain degree of chaos in their front at this time.
There are two groups of Jiannu who can't break the front line of the family army. The leader of the slave chief is really nothing. It is obvious that they can't break through the front line of the family army, so they are all finished here today. The gaps left between the family army fronts are also seen through by some Jiannu and know where to attack from. Absolutely not It's a good thing. Yu Jiajun will certainly not leave so much space on their front, waiting for them to drill and tear their front to pieces.
And they also saw that many cavalry had instinctively drilled into these gaps, but they could not see one of their cavalry withdrawing or killing out, but not saying anything, and they also heard continuous * sounds from inside, and heard the screams of countless their people and their language. And the curses of Mongolian and the dying call for help.
So some Jiannu who followed up realized that those gaps were not a good place. So many people rushed in. It was reasonable to tear open the front of the Yu army, but the front line of the Yu army still seemed to be motionless, still casting platoon guns and continuing to harvest their lives.
Several Meiler Ezhen or Jiala Zhangjing, who led the army to fight, realized that such a random breakthrough was definitely not the way, or they could not defeat the Yu family army in front of them and tear their front.
So forced by the helplessness, these people went crazy. Anyway, retreating at this time is also dead, and entering is also dead. They can't live. When they go back, they will be beheaded by Dorgun on the charge of fleeing from the battle, and the whole family will be implicated, so they can only die. Even if they die, they can keep the glory behind them, and their families will not come. Yu was connected by Zhulian.
So they brazenly ordered, masked *, and then launched a desperate charge. In fact, the war horse is not bold. In the era of cold weapon warfare, the war horse did not hear much of the sound of cannons and *, which was not a big problem, but after entering the artillery era, the noise on the battlefield far exceeded that of pure cold weapons. Noise during combat.
The sudden explosion and gunfire make many war horses that have not heard the sound of guns easily frightened. Once the horses are frightened, they will no longer be controlled by the cavalry riding on their back, and then the cavalry will be abandoned.
Although Jiannu and Daming have fought for so many years, and the Ming army has also been equipped with a large number of guns, the proportion of firearms equipped with a Ming army has never been higher than that of the family army. Jiannu cavalry have also seen a lot of battles with the Ming army over the years, so many of their horses have also adapted to the war. These messy bursting explosions on the field.
But today's situation is different. Yu Jiajun's guns are too dense, and the explosions on the battlefield are too dense. The noise is so loud that many war horses become panicked even if they are not surprised, which is much more difficult to control than usual.
Some war horses were shocked on the spot because the flowering bomb exploded directly near them. Either they began to run around on the battlefield and did not listen to the command. In serious cases, they simply jumped up directly, lifted off the unprepared cavalry, fell to the ground, and was trampled to death by the horses behind them.
Nowadays, they are getting closer and closer to the front of the family army, and more and more war horses are frightened. The war horses are not blind. They are full of sharp guns in front of them, and they are not stupid! If they hit it like this, they will definitely be stabbed to death, so they will instinctively disothe the command and run around to both sides. Even if there are not so many long guns in front of them, it's just some obstacles, and the war horses will instinctively not collide with their bodies, so this is the reason why the slave cavalry and Mongolian cavalry in front of them find a place to drill.
Now those bullshit of Jiannu ordered to cover up* and launch a charge, which is equivalent to the order of a desperate charge. They don't care about what else will be ahead at all, and directly use their horses and their bodies to attack the enemy's front.
I have to say that these slave cavalrymen are still quite brave. They can indeed be called brave men. They have been fighting over the years, and they have won more or lost less, so that they have also developed their own honor.
At this time, Shangfeng ordered Meng*, and they knew what to do. Few people were going to do. These slave cavalry, especially the wounded slave soldiers, who had almost got orders, tore them off their bodies without saying a word, or took out a rag from their arms, tied them to the horse's head, and covered the war horse. The eyes.
As soon as the war horse was blindfolded, naturally they could not see what was in front of them. They could only give them instructions with the cavalry riding on their backs, and they ran in the direction indicated with black eyes.
So after being blindfolded, many Jiannu cavalry launched a desperate charge, no longer caring about it, directly controlled the war horse and collided directly towards the Yu family's military array.
Although the gunmen of the Yu family lined up in front of the battle and set up a cluster of guns, the strength of the long guns and people are limited in the end. The six or seven or seven or eight hundred catties of war horses, plus the weight of the cavalry on their back, and their speed is by no means hundreds of catties of strength, but thousands of catties.
A wooden gun barrel, no matter what wood is made of, can't withstand such a huge impact. Although the sharp tip of their long guns has indeed successfully penetrated the body of the enemy's horses or cavalry, and may even be pierced together with people and horses, the enemy's cavalry does not It will stop immediately, and the huge inertia will still make their bodies rush forward for a distance before falling.
So under the desperate charge of Jiannu, the front defense line of three battalions was immediately smashed away.
By this time, the proportion of the spearmen of Yu Jiajun's own spearmen has been reduced a lot. The combination of the knife hand and the spearmen is only about 30%. They mainly rely on * output firepower to attack the enemy. The spearmen and knife handmen have been completely reduced to defensive forces, only when chasing the enemy. Wait, they will give full play to some of their combat capabilities.
The decrease in the number of spearmen also means that it will be very thin to organize a long spear array before the battle. If the enemy does not dare to fight hard, it will certainly not directly attack their front. However, if the enemy makes a desperate decision to launch a deadly charge, it means that such a front is easy to be rushed by the enemy. Broken.
There is also no way. Generally speaking, the enemy is also a human, and their instinct will drive them to directly charge the gun forest without their bodies. However, there is such a situation on the battlefield. The enemy is red-eyed, desperate, and crazy launch death charge tactics, which means that the long gunmen can only resist. A wave of enemy charge will declare that it will be broken by the enemy.
Many long gunmen saw the enemy blindfolded and rushing desperately, and they also faithfully fulfilled their obligations. They stabbed an enemy or his horse with long guns to death, but then the huge impact brought by the enemy and horses would hit them directly out in an instant. Many long Even if the gunman was hit with a broken tendon, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
More spearmen were even directly crushed to the ground by the enemy's dead horse and were killed alive on the spot. As for the knife hand that covered them, they could hardly play a role at this time, and then they were trampled to the ground by the enemy's horse.
Only a few lucky swordsmen avoided the rushing enemy cavalry in time and slashed at the enemy, but as long as the enemy cavalry did not die, they were completely crazy at this time, waving the gun or big knife in their hands and desperately greeted all the soldiers in the range. Go.
The three infantry battalions that were broken through by the enemy suddenly fell into chaos. Yu's infantry phalanx tactics and the strongest defense were knocked away by the enemy, and almost none of the Jiannu cavalry or Mongolian cavalry rushed in front of them survived, and died before the gun forest.
However, at a heavy price, they finally got the first result. The subsequent cavalry stepped on the dead people and horses in front of them and the bodies of the Yu family soldiers who were killed and injured, and rushed into the Yu family's infantry phalanx.
Once the cavalry breaks through the infantry front, it can basically be regarded as a nightmare for the infantry. The cavalry relies on their huge impact, and it is difficult for the infantry to fight against it. Unless a large number of infantry die and tardy the speed of their attack, the cavalry will become the target of slaughter again.
