Chapter 414: The Allies Come to Help
"Obedience! Brothers of the 3,000 battalion! Prepare your grenades and charge with me! Wu Binghao took out the Yanling knife and raised it high above his head.
Hearing this, the cavalry of the 5,000 Beijing battalion moved, and made a bend on the left side of the battle formation and rushed towards a phalanx on the far side.
The sun was scorching, and the sunburned listless pasture grass was trampled by 5,000 war horses, and the smoke and dust billowed out.
There was not much buffer, and even if the three thousand battalions spared a corner, the speed still could not be optimal, and when there were still four hundred steps away from the phalanx, the black ghost phalanx changed in an instant.
The two rows of musketeers on the side stepped forward, and the small musket phalanx at the two corners stretched outward in a circle, and the spearmen phalanx in the middle immediately stepped forward and raised their spears high.
Bang bang - when the Ming cavalry was only two hundred paces away from the phalanx, the black slave soldiers launched a platoon attack.
Most of the hundreds of cavalry horses were shot and fell to the ground, and were immediately drowned by thousands of war horses in the rear.
Bang bang - bang - another row, the movements of the black slave soldiers were neat and uniform, and the efficiency of changing platoons was twice as high as that of the Ming army.
"Charge! For the sake of Daming! Rows of cavalry fell to the ground, and several guards in front of Wu Binghao were gone, and his eyes were red.
You have to get another fifty paces closer, and you can't throw a grenade until you're at least twenty steps away from the phalanx, Wu Binghao glared at the phalanx in front of him.
He was the commander of the entire cavalry camp, and he had to control the timing and location of the grenades, and according to the established plan, the grenades must be thrown and retreated immediately.
The spearmen in the black slave phalanx in front, their shining spearheads, were already waiting to fork the Ming army's war horses and soldiers into meat skewers.
It is almost impossible to complete a perfect retreat at a distance of twenty paces.
"Pull the fuse!" During the attack, Wu Binghao took the lead in taking out two grenades from his waist, and his left hand was violently pulled away, and smoke broke out in an instant.
Wu Binghao gritted his teeth and threw two grenades into the center of the black slave phalanx with all his strength.
Bang bang - the black slave phalanx completed another volley.
Boom - Boom Boom Boom - Finally, after paying heavy casualties, the 3,000 battalion of cavalry led by Wu Binghao approached the large phalanx and completed a round of grenade throwing.
Under the thousands of grenades, the large phalanx of black slave soldiers on the edge was instantly shrouded in black smoke, Wu Binghao covered his right arm and pulled the reins to lead the remaining cavalry to make a bend and gallop towards the Ming camp.
A moment later.
"My lord! That black phalanx is so wicked! Many of the lowly brothers ...... Wu Binghao returned to his own camp and immediately reported the situation to Liu Hong.
In less than half an hour, at least 2,000 of the 5,000 cavalry of the Beijing battalion were killed, and many of those who came back alive were wounded.
Liu Hong gradually saw the battle situation just now through the telescope.
With a conscience, this group of legions is much stronger than today's Shenji Battalion in terms of arrangement, tactical movements, and morale and discipline, at least if the Ming army encounters such a bombardment, it will definitely panic.
But after the smoke and dust, none of the legions broke up, even if it was the phalanx that was bombed just now, as long as the black man could still fight, he would immediately merge into the next formation.
Come to think of it, this is the source of the courage of the black slave commander to dare to set foot on the territory of the Ming Dynasty without cavalry!
"You're hurt?" Liu Hong gradually saw that Wu Binghao's left hand holding his right arm was oozing blood.
"My lord, the humble duty is not in the way!" Wu Binghao got up and shook his right arm, but then grinned in pain.
"Let's retreat to the flanks first! Ask the military medic to bandage it. Liu Hong gradually took out a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from his waist and handed it to Wu Binghao, patted him on the shoulder and said.
Boom Boom Boom Boom - Taking advantage of the vacancy of the entire team of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Regiment, Kong Er's stunned cannon set up another formation and came with a salvo.
This is the advantage of the field artillery, although it is chased, but it can be a horse cannon with a cold man, if it is replaced by a large red-clothed cannon of the Ming army, it is estimated that it is already a trophy of the black slave soldiers.
Because that thing can't quickly retreat with the army.
Alas! If he had a hundred in his hand at this time, oh no, fifty cannons would be enough, and he could guarantee that none of these black slaves would escape.
However, there are only fifteen cannons in the entire Ming army camp, and when you go back, you must continue to expand the armory, definitely! Liu Hong gradually said in his heart.
"My lord! The phalanx is moving forward again! "A herald came to give the report.
Made! Liu Hong gradually scolded.
This is the first time he has felt so depressed in the battle formation since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he obviously has soldiers in his hands, but he can't help the big phalanx.
The attack distance of the formed Shenji Battalion musketeers was too far from the guns of this gang of black slaves, and Liu Honggradually guessed that the muskets in the other party's hands must also be rifled guns, but they did not have a more reasonable formula for black powder.
So much so that the attack distance of its rifled guns was forty or fifty paces less than the two thousand rifled guns of the Thousand Households.
The only 5,000 cavalry at hand has been disabled, and now the 20,000 troops of the Ming army have been defeated and retreated by more than 10,000, which is the most unbearable for Liu Hongji.
"My lord! General Feng sent someone to report that the prisoners outside the city had been basically wiped out! "A herald came.
"Yay! Quickly go and give an order, ordering Feng Dunhou to lead the allied cavalry to come to support!
Limhe! Lead the army to retreat for the time being, don't get into the range of this group of!
Chang Yu, go and pull all the grenades in the army to this officer! Liu Hong gradually roared and commanded the generals around him.
These soldiers are powerful, but they seem to be too arrogant!
In Europa, where all of them are small countries, maybe more than 10,000 soldiers are a lot of combat power, but that is in Europa.
Where is this now? This is Daming! More than 10,000 people are counted as wool in Daming!
Want to defeat the Ming? Is it just 10,000?
Then, this official will teach you how to be a man today!
A quarter of an hour later, Feng Dunhou rode on a horse in armor, and behind him was a motley cavalry.
The Allies have always been like this, conscripting troops on the spot, settling grain and grass on the spot, plundering horses on the spot, they have no uniform dress, and even the weapons are varied.
However, Liu Hongjian only glanced at the Allied generals in the front row and knew that this particular person was the real outlaw! My eyes are bloodshot!
I haven't seen him for a few months, although Feng Dunhou has become thinner and thinner, his eyes have also become sharper.
It was cultivated by countless battles behind enemy lines, and the barracks were really a place to sharpen people.
"Lao Feng! Take the Allied brothers, one person takes a grenade from there, memorizes four words, pulls the fuse, and throws!
Kill the in front of me! Time was pressing, and Liu Hongjian didn't even have time to say hello.
After all, the Allied brothers have not used it, and although the use of grenades is simple, it still needs to be explained.
"Obedience!" Feng Dunhou did not hesitate for a moment, and then left with the allies.
At this moment, the phalanx of black slave soldiers in front seemed to stop......
