Chapter seven hundred and fifty first trial attack
Chapter 751 Test Attack
After the roar of artillery, nearly 100,000 people on the battlefield immediately became quiet, only looking at the wreckage that had been cut off half of the body in the battlefield.
It was not until the wreckage fell to the ground that Yu Siqiang was also a sensible figure in Datong Town back then and was a popular candidate for the deputy general and general. Most of the generals in Datong Town knew him. This time, whether it was the Huwei Army or the army in Ji Town, there were military generals sent by Datong Town to coordinate, and they all recognized Yu Siqiang.
Seeing this man shamelessly talking about "King Shunyi" there, everyone believed in him and said with a thunderous sound, the four-four masters were beaten to pieces, and after a quiet moment, a thunderous cheer sounded.
When the two armies fought, the Ming army had already won the morale first. You can see that under the golden flag, several cavalrymen ran towards the army.
These cavalry were carrying flags, which were the cavalry of the Tartars. Wherever they ran to, the queues moved.
"Dongdongdongdong" cowhide drum sounded, and cavalry began to depart from the Tartar cavalry team. These cavalrymen who came out looked nothing special, even weaker than those in front of the formation, and their equipment seemed to be ragged.
Nearly a thousand cavalry on both sides came out, while nearly three thousand cavalry in the middle came out. It is obvious that these three thousand cavalry seem to be much elite.
This combination makes people feel quite surprised, but for the Ming army's chariot camp, the enemy attacks is the best way to fight, and let the enemy hit the firearms and bows and arrows and make them bleed.
As soon as the drums stopped, there were a few loud noises. The Tartar cavalry who came out of the formation shouted and moved forward in unison. The generals in the Ming army array all gave loud orders to prepare the soldiers.
The cavalry formation between the Jizhen Army and the Huwei Army Army also began to move forward slowly. The cavalry placed in the formation of the Tartars looked the most powerful, and it seemed that they were targeting the Ming army's cavalry, and they wanted to have a fierce battle.
"Master, there are soldiers from the Tartars, just after the horse team that went out first"
The soldiers on the watchtower shouted, and Wang Tong frowned, letting the lookout guards come down and go up by himself. Sure enough, the three cavalry teams that the Tartars had first launched the formation, except for the middle team, there were cavalry behind the other two teams, following behind.
The three teams of cavalry who came out of the battle could still run side by side at the beginning, but later, they became the middle team behind, and the other two teams suddenly broke in front.
At Wang Tong's position, you can vaguely see the formation behind the two cavalry teams protruding. It is only a few hundred steps away. How could the Tartar cavalry, who is skilled in cavalry, not be able to control the formation?
"Tiger squat cannon check the lead"
"One pound of cannon is on the big cart, adjust the angle of the other cannons, and tell the coachman the leader to let them take good care of the cattle and horses, otherwise..."
The artillery team Baihu Muen and the general flag Zhang Wu shouted in front of the array that the space in the formation was not so spacious and horse riding was not allowed, but the artillery team was a special case. The heavy artillery dragged and dragged, and the two artillery team officers were running back and forth on horseback, ordering everywhere.
"Military gun soldiers, archers get on the car and be prepared"
"The spear soldiers came forward according to their cart and moved quickly. They had to eat mutton these days, so why didn't they have the strength to do it yet? Hurry up."
Military generals everywhere were shouting orders. Wang Tong pondered for a moment, immediately leaned out of the tower and shouted:
"Mu En, the cannon is only allowed to use one pound of cannon. The enemy cavalry enters the range of the fire gun and then fires ten tiger squat cannons."
When Mu En, who was still urging on horseback, was stunned when he heard Wang Tong's order, he pulled the reins hard and almost fell off the horse. He looked at Wang Tong's upstairs. When he saw Wang Tong's face cautious, he realized that he had heard nothing wrong.
The effective range of a pound cannon is only 120 steps, and the killing is not large. The tiger squat cannon is a magic pill. It is important to open fire within thirty steps before firing. With such shooting, the effective range of the fire between eighty and ninety steps of the fire. If you open fire within this distance, there is no way to kill the enemy.
However, the military order is a military order. Mu En and Zhang Wu almost roared and passed the orders. The artillery soldiers who heard these orders were all stunned, and they had no idea why.
In a blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Tartar cavalry had arrived. When one hundred and fifty or sixty steps were approaching, a low roar of artillery began to sound from Jizhen.
There are Folang machine cannons on the side vans. This light cannon has a range of not far, and it is about one or a half pounds of metal projectiles that can shoot about 150 to 200 steps.
The shooting within 150 steps is considered an effective range. Although the two positions are very far apart, you can still clearly hear the screams of the Tartar cavalry. Wang Tong actually saw the front teams of the Tartar cavalry rushing towards the Huwei Army array at this position, and he was actually panicked.
The teams opposite the Ming army and horse team were almost moving forward. In this case, the Ming army and horse team were naturally cautious. The flag beside Ma Sanbiao's side of the flag bearer always looked straight towards the sky, which was a signal to remain motionless.
"fire"
It seemed that the cowhide drum was beating, and light cannons were fired one pound on the cart in succession. The light cannon shells could even see the trajectory of his whistling and sliding. The formation of the Tartars rushing over was already messy. In some places, people were concentrated together, while in some places they were loose.
Even if the Ming army only has bows and arrows, such a rushing formation is ridiculous. It is okay if the loose side is not, the attacks encountered by the dense side will inevitably be strengthened, and the second wave of attacks will also be concentrated here.
After being hit by a shell, the horse fell directly to the ground, and the cavalry fell directly from the horse. After all, the density of the artillery was limited. After all, a group of people fell down, and more people rushed to the front.
However, the tiger squat cannons in the gap between the large trolleys fired one after another. Although the smoke exploded, there was no killing. Within a distance of hundreds of steps, the musketeers and archers on the trolley could already see the twisted faces of these cavalrymen, and their deep fear and panic.
Most of the musket soldiers are veterans, and many of them have participated in battles outside Xuanfu and outside Gubeikou. The Tartar cavalry they face, especially those who rushed in the front, often have excitement, rampantness, madness, and even indifference, but they rarely have such fear and panic.
Charging into battle is something that the most elite cavalry can do. If you panic, you may run away halfway through the repetition, which will even affect the battle between your teammates and the people behind you.
The cavalry in front of them have already escaped, but when they charge, they want to turn the mounts that have already run, and the end of the game will be miserable. These mounts that don't look very strong will often fall directly to the ground and throw the cavalry on their backs to the ground.
Some people are lucky enough to run out of the array, but they will be shot and killed directly by the elite cavalry in the middle.
Although they were wrong, the enemy was the enemy. The Huwei Army's musketeers were not soft-hearted. Ninety steps... Eighty steps, the vanguard of the Tartars had already broken into the range.
"Open Fire"
With the shout of the general, the firecrackers and firecrackers were fired, and the Tartar cavalry charging forward seemed to be blown by a metal storm, and their men and horses were falling to the ground.
In Jizhen, guns and cannons were also fired, bird guns, three-eyed guns, Folang machine guns, and tiger squat cannons, all of which were fired. The cavalry who rushed to their side all fell to the ground screaming.
The fire of muskets on the big cart, because the space on the big cart is limited, there can only be two rows of musket soldiers on the big cart, and the rest of musket soldiers can only stand by under the cart. Because there is a process of getting on the cart from below, shooting cannot form uninterrupted wheel shooting, and the cavalry have more opportunities to rush in front of them.
Even the Huwei Army was like this, and the firearms in Jizhen would be even more interrupted, so the infantry holding spears, swords and axes were ready to start hand-to-hand combat with wooden walls at any time.
But the Tartars who rushed up this time were really not worth mentioning. When they rushed to fifty steps away from the chariot formation, their courage seemed to be exhausted. The large number of deaths of their companions also gave them enough room for rotation, and the mount was reduced to the point where they could turn.
Some of the Tartars were crying, some were screaming like crazy, and they turned away. The Huwei Army's musketeers saw this scene, and some even forgot to shoot in shock. The same was true for the needlework and thread in Jizhen.
The smoke and chaos made everyone unable to touch their minds. The generals of the two positions were shouting loudly and scolding loudly, making the soldiers react as soon as possible from their surprise and ready for battle.
The targets of the musket soldiers and artillery were tilted towards the middle, because the calm Tartar cavalry team there was still slowly moving forward, and there was still 200 steps away from the two military formations. They were confronting the Ming army's cavalry and could not see any intention of attacking.
"Woo~~~" The long horn sounded, and the Tartar cavalry team in the middle turned around and began to retreat. This behavior also surprised the crowd.
“…………………………………………………………………………………”
There were already bursts of cheers from the Ji Bing position. Although the enemy who came this time was strange, the corpse that was lodging there was real. The victory of the flag always greatly improved morale and everyone was excited.
The atmosphere on the Huwei Army was also very high. Before they could cheer, Wang Tong shouted in the tower:
"Muen, the artillery team is ready. Why are you happy? That's just the beginning."
"The noble Zhalik, the firearms on the position on Jizhen on the left are at a distance of 200 steps, and the firearms on the right are at a distance of 150 steps."
Several men wearing military generals surrounded a golden helmet with a beard. They could wear golden helmets in Mongolian tribes, and only King Khan and his immediate relatives were the first son of Senggedu Gulen, who was the eldest son of Senggedu Gulen, who was only thirty-five years old.
Salike pondered for a while and said in a deep voice:
