C mDr { [ 3 PAG c" Q U{ Բ t 4 H83f1 The sound of the cannon immediately alarmed Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, but when they followed the cannon sound, they couldn't see anything, after all, they were too far away from the battle formation in front of them to see clearly even with a clairvoyant mirror.

But not being able to see clearly does not mean that it is not clear to hear, more than ten seconds after remembering the sound of the cannon, only a violent explosion was heard, accompanied by a thick cloud of black smoke, Nurhachi father and son saw seven or eight infantry soldiers lined up in a dense formation were injured in the air.

"Woo ......"

Immediately afterwards, several violent explosions sounded in a row, and with the sound of explosions, a big gold soldier who was in the formation was blown to pieces, and the sound of explosions everywhere blew up the Houjin soldiers who were arrayed into a mess.

People always have a natural fear of the unknown, and although the Jurchens claim to be invincible, even they understand that this is just a slogan to embolden themselves.

They can raise their butcher knives without scruples to kill more than a million Han Chinese outside the gate to only a few hundred thousand, but when faced with the unknown that falls from the sky beyond what human can fight, their behavior is no different from that of frightened rabbits, and many so-called Dajin warriors, who were stunned by the explosion, the shock wave and the death of their companions, frantically scurried around and let out a sharp scream.

Seeing this scene, Nurhachi was so angry that his face flushed, standing tall he could see very clearly, the most serious commotion in the entire army was actually the yellow and yellow flags, he really couldn't believe that the most fierce and elite on weekdays was like a frightened rabbit, just a few shells, even the entire formation was shaken, and on the other hand, the formation of the blue flag, the white flag, the red flag and the red flag was much more neat, what is going on?

In fact, what Nurhachi didn't know was that the reason why the blue, white, red, and red flags could be so "calm" was not that they were more elite than the yellow and yellow flags, but because these flags had experience in fighting with the Jiangning army and had also been bombed by these artillery, and their immunity to artillery was naturally higher than the two flags of Zhenghuang and Yellow that were bombed for the first time.

A few miles away from Nurhachi, Yang Feng sat in his big car, looking at the image transmitted by the drone on the screen, he teased with some amazement: "It seems that the old saying is really not wrong, you get used to it when you blow it up, compared to a few flags such as blue inlaid that have been handed over, the yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag are far behind." ”

After ridiculing, Yang Feng said a word to Zheng Tuoniang and the two girls who were controlling the drone, got out of the car, and rode his war horse and began to follow the big array.

The first to fire just now was the twelve M1841 Napoleonic six-pounder guns in the middle of the phalanx in front of the front, the Napoleonic cannon cast in bronze in history was only 389 kg, Yang Feng imitated this gun from later generations because of the use of steel, so the weight dropped to 226 kg, such a weight with the gun carriage can be pushed by several soldiers, following the infantry phalanx while marching and providing fire support without any problem, This is also the confidence of Yang Feng to dare to use more than 5,000 foot soldiers and less than 1,000 cavalry to force Nurhachi's tens of thousands of troops.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The drums continued to sound, and with them were the rumbling of cannons, which were the brothers of the artillery battalion pouring fire on the enemy.

As the saying goes, what kind of commander has what kind of army, under the influence of Yang Feng, the Jiangning Army has become the first all-firearms army in the Ming Dynasty and even the world, and both infantry and cavalry among them are highly dependent on firearms.

Although Yang Feng did not serve as a soldier in later generations and was not a military expert, but thanks to the vast and convenient information in later generations, Yang Feng grew up quickly, and it can be said that if he picked up his understanding and attainments of hot weapons in this time and space, he thought that no one would dare to say that he was second.

Firepower coverage and firepower shooting are the biggest characteristics of thermal weapons. As soon as the two teams met, the Jiangning army gave Nurhachi a dismount, and in the first three rounds of artillery bombardment, although the actual damage caused to the Houjin army was not too great, but the impact it caused to the Jurchens was not small, and after this round of artillery bombardment, the originally neat army of the Jin army began to waver and panic.

At this time, Zheng Tuniang and the two daughters of the line girl, who were protected by the large square in the middle, clearly saw through the images transmitted by no one on the screen that the 5,600 army of the Jiangning Army was divided into nine phalanxes, and was slowly and firmly advancing towards Houjin's main formation under the cover of artillery. Around the Ming army's phalanx, thousands of Houjin cavalry were constantly running around them, and they were like hungry wolves, looking for the right opportunity to pounce at any time.

Looking at the Jiangning army approaching them, Nurhachi also sneered in anger, in his opinion, the artillery of the Jiangning army is sharp, but as long as the Dajin army survives the initial panic, it can easily eat the fat that this army took the initiative to send.

Seeing that the Jiangning army was already less than two miles away from the first phalanx of the Dajin army, he said with a calm face: "Order Mang Gurtai to immediately lead the cavalry to break into the Jiangning army's main formation, completely disrupting their formation, Du Du led the Zhenglan Banner headquarters to meet it head-on, Ben Khan wants to see if this Jiangning army really has three heads and six arms, and dares to underestimate my Dajin Iron Cavalry so much." ”

"Whoa......

As the herald shouted his consent, groups of Houjin soldiers in blue armor began to regroup, and they pounced in the direction of the Jiangning army under the leadership of officers at all levels.

It is said that the Jurchens are powerful in riding and archery, but in fact, the Jurchens are also good at foot combat, when 5,000 foot soldiers with the blue flag push the heavy shield cart, erect the heavy shield and march at a neat pace to meet the enemy, that kind of indestructible momentum is enough to frighten those who are not strong-minded or timid to turn around and flee.

Therefore, in the face of the oncoming Houjin foot soldiers, Yang Feng finally gave the order for the whole army to stop advancing.

"Beep...... Beep ......"

With the sound of a sharp whistle, the large formation of the Jiangning Army, which was still slowly advancing, all stopped, and the sergeants began to reload the muskets with ammunition, and the gunners began to reload the artillery.

In the artillery battalion of the large square in the middle, Qiu Disheng, the commander of the artillery battalion, listened to the location of the enemy army reported by Zheng Toniang from the walkie-talkie, and constantly ordered the artillery battalion to adjust the direction: "All the artillery battalions have them, the target distance is 500 meters, the elevation angle is 36 degrees, the azimuth is 032, and there is a high-explosive bomb...... Put! ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The power of the salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces was amazing, and the vibrations and loud noises made by the salvo of one hundred and twenty guns spread all over the radius of several miles, making Nurhachi's face suddenly change when he was still in his heart.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

When more than 100 high-explosive bombs fell into the phalanx of Dajin soldiers who were rushing towards the Jiangning army, the consequences of the explosion could be said to be catastrophic for the Dajin army, and the dust and smoke raised after the explosion of hundreds of high-explosive bombs almost covered the area of several thousand square meters of Wubaimi's prescription.

After a gust of wind blew and the thick smoke and smoke gradually dissipated, the scene that happened in front of him made Nurhachi feel that the blood in his body was surging to his head in an instant, and the whole person felt bad.

What appeared in front of him was a messy scene, the originally dense and majestic array of five thousand infantry armor led by Du Du was like a cake that had been bitten countless times by rats, and there were ugly dirt pits everywhere.

Of course, the artillery at this time used black powder, the power of which naturally cannot be compared with the TNT explosives of later generations, but explosives are explosives, in the explosion range of the shell, whether it is the heavy shield car or the heavy shield in the hands of the soldiers, and no matter how many layers of heavy armor the Jurchen Tartars are on, they can't block the power of the shock wave, not to mention that there are thirty-six twelve-pound Napoleonic cannons in the artillery camp, when six or seven catties of black powder explodes, no one or even a shield car within a radius of more than ten or twenty meters can stop its power.

If the power of the dozen or so cannons just now made Nurhachi feel that these cannons were certainly powerful, but these losses were still acceptable for tens of thousands of troops, then when hundreds of six-pounder guns and twelve-pounder guns fired together, the power of a hundred cannons in unison was enough to destroy anyone and anything that stood in its way.

Just after the first volley, the originally neat phalanx was thrown into chaos, and at least six or seven hundred people were killed and wounded. Seeing this scene, Nurhachi almost fainted, five or six hundred Dajin warriors, these are two Niu Lu's men and horses? In the past, two Niu Lu's golden warriors were enough to confront the Ming army five times his size, but today they just fired a round of artillery and it was gone?

Nurhachi is really distressed, the Jurchens are originally few, and the population of the Jurchen clan is only hundreds of thousands, and it is very difficult to train a qualified Jurchen warrior, to start practicing in summer and winter from a young age, to learn equestrian, weapons, archery and other killing battle array skills, at least ten years or even more to grow into a qualified infantry or vest, but now all this has become meaningless, People can easily kill all the warriors around them with a cannonball wrapped in a few catties of gunpowder when they fall, and even if you wear a hundred pieces of heavy armor, it will be useless.

Nurhachi was distressed, and Huang Taiji, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned. Although he was once defeated by Yang Feng, and then his grandfather was depressed for a while, to be honest, he was not convinced. After escaping from the grassland and returning to Shengjing, he once thought about his failure behind closed doors.

It was Huang Taiji who finally came to the conclusion that the main reason why he was defeated last time was that most of the people he brought with him when he went to the Horqin tribe to ask for relatives were slaves such as Baoyi, and the real Jurchen warriors were less than a thousand, plus the number of Jiangning's weapons was several times that of his, and the most important thing was that the incident happened suddenly, and the people had more people than you and better weapons than you, and he also got into the ambush circle of the other party, and it was hell if he didn't lose this battle.

Later, Huang Taiji also humbly asked Dai Shan, Amin, Yue Tuo and other generals who had fought with Yang Feng for advice, and carefully inquired about their defeat, in the accounts of Dai Shan, Amin and others, Jiangning's weapons were sharp, the key is that they are still very cunning, like throwing thistles in front of the battle during the war, setting up barbed wire, they can also do it, where is there still a little warrior.

In the end, Huang Taiji came to a conclusion that the Jiangning Army was indeed Dajin's mortal enemy. In order to annihilate the Jiangning army, it is necessary to mobilize heavy troops to surround it, and it is also necessary to use the mobility of the cavalry to attack and harass it everywhere, so that it has no way to effectively use firearms. Finally, he used his foot soldiers to break into their phalanx, using the strong melee ability of the Daikin warriors to defeat them.

I have to say that Huang Taiji is worthy of being Nurhachi's own son, and the father and son even have the same idea, Nurhachi's tactics just now and Huang Taiji's idea are actually the same, but what the two of them never dreamed of was that the power of Jiangning's artillery would be so great, so big that it was really beyond their expectations, and two Niu Lu were gone after a round of shelling.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

But the nightmare had not yet left, and only twenty seconds after the first round of shelling, the second round of shelling began, and when the second round of shelling was over, Nurhachi's face changed dramatically, and he finally gave the order.

"Immediately blow the trumpet and tell Mang Gurtai to disperse quickly...... Spread out ......"

Nurhachi is worthy of being a man who has fought for most of his life, and he has made the right decision in a short period of time. The reason why Gangkai suffered so much loss was actually because the battle formation composed of Jurchen Tartars was too dense, which was simply a live target for the artillery battalion, and it was only under the shelling that it would cause so many casualties.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woohoo......"

As the desolate horn sounded, Mang Gurtai, who was dazed, also hurriedly ordered the troops to disperse.

"Yo, it seems that Nurhachi, the old thief, is still quite quick to react." Yang Feng, who was riding on the horse, saw that the Jurchen Tartars had made the correct reaction so quickly, and his brows couldn't help but raise, and then he smiled: "But Nurhachi thinks that this will be able to block my artillery?" Order the artillery battalion to continue firing! ”

After three rounds of shelling, Zhenglan Banner finally rushed to a distance of more than 300 meters from the phalanx, and this distance was no longer suitable for firing high-explosive shells, and Qiu Disheng immediately gave the order to change the ammunition.

"The artillery battalion was all there, and all the artillery stopped shelling, except for the three phalanxes of the first row. The first row of phalanxes changed shotguns and prepared for direct fire! ”

"Directly in front of the target, at a distance of two hundred meters, at an angle of 12, launch!"

"Boom ......"

Thirty-six artillery pieces erupted in unison, and when the shells flew out of the barrel for tens of meters, the body of the projectile, which was originally only wrapped in thin iron sheets, immediately cracked, and then hundreds of projectiles the size of little fingers shot forward like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens.

Thousands of iron pellets immediately covered the range of hundreds of meters in front, and the disaster happened, countless infantry armor of the Zhenglan Banner who howled and rushed towards the Jiangning Army were easily torn apart by the projectiles flying at high speed, and many people were hit by the projectiles like broken sacks, and the whole person almost became a sieve.
