Chapter 191: The Fourth Battle of the Two Huais
Dadu, who was standing on the high platform, picked up a telescope to observe the Ming army's position, and saw through the telescope that dozens of cars in the middle of the Ming army's position had lifted their canvases, revealing fang-like rockets. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Dadu is not incompetent, seeing this scene, he understands that the Ming army is going to play a killer move!
"Quick!" Dadu called out to a Goshha, "Blow the trumpet, send the flag signal!" Let Wu Ma go away! ”
Goshha retreated, and after a while, a dull trumpet sounded in the rear of the Qing army. Hearing the sound of the horn, Wu Mahu turned his head to look, only to see the flags waving in the large array, and motioned for him to disperse the formation.
"Ming Dog is going to use a swarm of bees! Disperse! Spread out! Dadu roared hoarsely.
Goshha waved the flag, and more than 10,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners immediately dispersed the formation, and some of the cavalry accelerated, forming multiple arrows, and charged at the infantry position of the Ming army; the other part is scattered from the two wings, forming a tendency to outflank; There were also some cavalry of the Eight Banners who followed behind without speed or slowness, ready to rush to the range of the bow and dismount and shoot arrows.
"Put!" Gong Xiaoda gave an order.
Dozens of Qiongzhou sergeants holding torches stretched out their torches to the fuse at the tail of the rocket, and after lighting the fuse, they quickly dispersed to both sides.
"Whoosh" The whistling fire dragons dragged a long white smoke and rose from the position of the fire van, pulling out crooked trails in the air. Hundreds of fire dragons, like meteors full of fire and rain in the sky, overwhelming the sky, smashed down on the top of the heads of the charging Eight Banners cavalry.
Seeing the rockets whistling like a rain of meteors, Wu Mahu felt his heart contract, and it seemed that his heart had stopped beating for a moment.
The "boom" rows of rockets had already landed in the formation of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and due to the different lengths reserved for the fuse fuse, some of the rockets exploded in mid-air, and countless fragments and iron beads were scattered towards the crowd of horses; Some rockets explode the moment they hit the ground, with debris and iron balls flying sideways; Some rockets hit the ground and rolled a few times before exploding, the flames flashed, and the air waves flew in all directions carrying fragments and iron balls, and the dirt lumps on the ground flew into the air one after another.
Wu Mahu saw with his own eyes that when one of his Goshkha was charging on horseback, a rocket landed on the ground in front of him, but the rocket did not explode immediately, but rolled and bounced on the ground, just under the Goshha's horse, and then exploded into a fireball, and the rocket exploded in the middle and broke in two, and the fragments and iron beads rained down on the Goshha, blowing him and his horse into a canopy of scattered blood and flesh.
The rockets that kept falling exploded continuously, and the front of the Qing cavalry impact formation exploded into a sea of fire, and countless Eight Banners cavalry were either blown to pieces or were beaten into a hornet's nest by fragments and iron beads.
Compared with casualties, what is more serious is the shock of war horses!
The frightened war horse raised its hooves, neighed and scurried around, and many Eight Banner soldiers were lifted off the horses by the frightened war horses. Some of the experienced horsemen tried desperately to hold on to the reins to control their horses, but the horses of others collided, and the two horses collided with each other, and the cavalrymen on horseback fell off their horses at the same time.
The power of the rocket lies in the short reload time and high rate of fire. The formation of the Qing army has begun to be chaotic, and another round of rockets has fallen overwhelmingly. Then the third round, the fourth round of rockets roared.
For the Ming soldiers, as long as the rocket is put on the launch rack to ignite, the copper rocket launcher can ensure that the five rounds do not need to be cooled down. By the time the five rounds of rockets were launched, the Qing army was completely in disarray.
"Kill!" The spear in the hand of the king [auxiliary] pointed in the direction of the Qing cavalry.
"Kill!" More than 3,000 heavy cavalry spread their hooves and carried the knights on horseback, and more than 12,000 horses' hooves hit the ground, making a roar like war drums, and the earth trembled slightly.
The front row of lance cavalry flattened the lance and formed an impenetrable iron cavalry formation. The cavalry behind was armed with short spears, followed closely by the horse lance cavalry, and rushed towards the Qing cavalry like a whirlwind.
"Bang bang bang" The infantry of the Ming army line pulled the trigger, and rows of mini rifles spewed fire, knocking down the archers of the Eight Banners who dismounted and were about to shoot arrows to the ground one after another like killing chickens and dogs. But there are still many Eight Banner archers who calm down, stretch their bows and set up arrows, and shoot a row of arrows.
Rows of feathered arrows flew into the sky and fell like locusts on the charging iron cavalry.
The feathered arrow hit the helmet of the heavy cavalry and was bounced off by the helmet; Shot the tightly protected armor on his body, and fell to the ground weakly; Even if the feather arrow hit the face door of the heavy cavalry, it was bounced open by the iron mask on the face. Some arrows hit the horses, but the horses were also covered with armor, and the arrows could not penetrate them. Feathered arrows shot from the front pierced the curtain and lost most of their energy, and when they hit the horse's neck again, they could not even penetrate the thin armor on the horse's neck.
Only a few cavalrymen were shot in their own legs, or their horses were shot in the legs of their horses with arrows. The cavalry of the middle army in the legs endured the pain and continued to charge; The speed of the war horse that was shot in the leg slowed down slightly, but the bearing capacity of the war horse is much stronger than that of a human, and it is impossible for a mere arrow to make the war horse lose its combat effectiveness.
"Bang bang bang" Mini bullet rifled gun spewed fire again, and the Eight Banners Soldiers archers who dismounted and shot arrows fell down.
The line of infantry, stragglers, and snipers pulled the trigger one after another, and some of the Eight Banners cavalry, who were still charging, also fell off their horses one after another.
A burst of fire rose from the mortar artillery position, and more than a dozen flowering shells fell in the rear of the Qing army, blowing up the flesh and blood of the Eight Banners cavalry.
The dragoons of the Qiongzhou army also began to charge, the dragoons waved their whips, the horses accelerated, and the dragoons had flat-ended muskets on horseback, aiming at the Qing army in front.
The three thousand heavy cavalry rushed into the Qing cavalry group that had been routed, and the first 1,000 horse lance cavalry stretched out a horse lance eight feet long, and with a collision sound, the horse lance that hit the Qing cavalry bent into a circle, and the Qing cavalry that was hit fell from the horse like a dumpling.
Some of the Qing cavalry opened their bows and arrows, but the feather arrows pierced the heavy cavalry and could not penetrate at all, so they could only watch the heavy cavalry crash towards them.
The horse lance of the horse lance cavalry bent into a circle after hitting the person, and after the Qing soldiers on the opposite side fell off their horses, the horse lance bounced straight again. Some highly skilled Ming cavalry used the power of the horse lance to knock down the second Qing cavalry in front of them. There are also horse lances that flick straight and hit directly on the legs of the Qing army's horses, and the painful war horses let out a long roar, the front two hooves knelt down, the back two hooves rose, and the cavalry on horseback flew out like a kite with a broken line.
The cavalry in front of the horse cavalry rushed over, and the heavy cavalry in the back immediately collided with it, and the cavalry spear collided with the Qing cavalry, and with the sound of wood breaking, the cavalry spears broke one after another, and the heavy cavalry let go of their hands at the same time and threw away the cavalry spears, so as not to break their wrists by the strong impact force.
The heavy cavalry, who had lost his spear, drew his saber from his waist and slashed all the way.
