Chapter 890: Lao Guogong has made a move! (Page 1/1)
Mao Chenglu gave an order, and the first row of firecrackers opened fire one after another. "Bang bang!" Gunpowder smoke rose in front of the battle, and a row of buckshot shot at the blue-flaged soldiers.
The firecracker used in Dongjiang Town is an old-fashioned arquebus made in Changsheng Island, which not only has a short range but is also much worse than the current Changsheng gun.
It is also more than sixty steps to fire, and the effect is much worse than that of the Immortal Gun. It would still be much better if Mao Chenglu put the Jurchen armor soldiers fifty paces before firing, but that distance was also within the range of the Jurchen bow and arrow.
Being able to shoot at a distance of fifty paces against the Jurchen armor soldiers despite casualties is a rare strong army in the world, like the original Qi family army, which can put the enemy at a distance of twenty or thirty paces before starting to shoot.
The soldiers of Dongjiang Town could not do this yet, most of them were Liao people. After being caught by the Jurchens, he shaved his head, and he was unwilling to be oppressed by the Jurchens before running to Dongjiang Town.
Liao people like them who have been shaved will not be treated well if they go to other places, and only here in Dongjiang Town will take them in.
Most of these Liao people have a blood feud with the Jurchens, and they are completely desperate with the Jurchens with their blood. To say that they will not lack confidence in fighting to the death, but military discipline is much worse.
Mao Chenglu did not have the confidence to let the soldiers of Dongjiang Town shoot at a distance of fifty paces without collapsing, and he ordered to open fire after more than sixty steps.
The effect of the bullet on the Jurchen armor wearing three layers of armor was not good, and more than sixty steps could only injure the Jurchen armor soldiers, and it could not kill too well.
The first round of bullets only caused twenty or thirty blue-flag-inlaid armor soldiers to be shot and fall off their horses, and the rest of the armor soldiers did not lose their speed at all, and still rushed towards the Dongjiang Town array.
The Jurchen armor soldiers took out their bows and arrows when they rushed into battle, and as soon as they entered the firing range, they could shoot the arrows in their hands.
Although the Jurchens are not good at riding and shooting on horses, it is still no problem to cover a large area as large as Dongjiang Town.
The Dongjiang soldiers quickly completed their rotation in place, with the first platoon walking to the back of the line to reload, and the second platoon stepping forward to prepare to fire.
"Bang bang!" The sound of the gun sounded again, mixed with the sound of countless arrows breaking through the air.
Screams rang out in the ranks of both sides at the same time, and this time more Jurchen armor soldiers fell from their horses, but there were also 100 people in the array of firecrackers who were shot and fell to the ground.
The heavy arrows of the Jurchen armored soldiers were extremely penetrating, and the lethality of the Dongjiang Town soldiers who did not have much armor defense was huge, and just one round of arrow rain made the Dongjiang Town soldiers scramble.
While constantly worrying about whether he will be shot by an arrow, he has to be distracted to reload the firebolt. The soldiers of Dongjiang Town slowed down as they rotated their formations.
The gap between the soldiers in Dongjiang Town and the Changxing Army became apparent at once, and the Changxing Army paid attention to live-fire training. Every musketeer is fed with shells, and he is not qualified to go to war without firing hundreds of bullets.
In addition, there are differences in the training of the two sides, and the high-intensity training of the Changxing Army will not work at all in Dongjiang Town. If you can't eat enough, how can you have the strength to train, if Dongjiang Town is like the Changxing Army, then training must lead to human life.
The bullets are all bought with real money, and Mao Wenlong will not use the bullets bought with silver to let this group of firecrackers play with them. It feels good when a person can hit a gun or two to find a gun, and some people may not have a gun at all.
Such a firecracker can still cope with a slow-moving foot soldier, but it is not enough to face the cavalry charge.
Even before the original Changxing Army was fully reequipped with the Changsheng Gun, there were still a considerable number of spear and shield soldiers. Use these spears and shields to form a mobile line of defense for the gunners, so that the gunners can fire more safely.
But Mao Chenglu in Dongjiang Town saw that the gun and shield soldiers were canceled in the Changxing Army, so he naturally canceled the sword and shield soldiers.
Let the firecrackers be exposed to the iron hooves of the enemy's cavalry, how can not be an experienced veteran to withstand the pressure.
The firecrackers in Dongjiang Town were rushed to the front of the battle by the Zhenglan Banner armor soldiers after only four rounds of gunfire, and the firecrackers at the forefront were hit by the Jurchen armor soldiers and immediately had a tendency to collapse.
Mao Chenglu knew that his firecrackers were not as good as the Changxing Army, so he arranged five rows of firecrackers. He intended to compensate for the lack of training with the number of musketeers, but before the fifth platoon could fire, he collapsed.
The Jurchen armor soldiers crashed into the hands of the Dongjiang Town Fire Gun, and went on a rampage all the way, ruthlessly breaking through the array of Dongjiang Town.
If it was against an ordinary Ming army, the Jurchens could announce the news of victory at this time. As soon as the cavalry broke through the formation, the infantry would be chased by the cavalry from behind and easily killed.
But the soldiers of Dongjiang Town fought with hatred, and almost every one of them had a hatred for the Jurchens.
Although the formation was broken, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town did not immediately disperse. They threw away the firearms in their hands and drew their steel knives to kill the Jurchen armor soldiers.
If one person is knocked away by the war horse of the Jurchen armor soldiers, the second person will be on top. If one person is hacked to death, another person will come up on top of him.
Under the siege of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, the Jurchen armor soldiers were finally stopped.
Seeing this, Amin immediately ordered the blue-flag armoured soldiers to dismount and fight on foot, they were not Mongols who would not have fought without their horses. War horses are just tools for them to travel, and the Jurchens are best at foot combat.
The Jurchen armor soldier wearing three layers of armor simply ignored the slashing sword, and swung the broadsword in his hand to cut down the enemy in front of him.
The blue-flag-clad soldiers who had been depressed for many days finally regained their confidence in the battle against the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, and the soldiers of Dongjiang Town who were killed by waving the steel knives in their hands were full of blood.
As time passed, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town gradually became unable to withstand it. The emaciated soldiers of Dongjiang Town were no match for the strong Jurchen armor soldiers, and it often took four or five people to get one armor soldier.
The soldiers of Dongjiang Town began to retreat slowly, not because they were not desperate enough, not because they were afraid of death, but because the gap in equipment was too big.
Mao Chenglu, who was in charge of the command, was also so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he waved the steel knife in his hand in anger to let his soldiers resist.
On the hill on one side of the battlefield, two figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side.
The tall man wearing full-body plate armor retracted the clairvoyant mirror and said, "Brother Mao! Your department is a little unbearable, according to our agreement, this handsome is about to make a move! ”
The stout man reluctantly retracted the clairvoyant mirror, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that the Jurchen armor soldiers were powerful. Even with the numerical superiority, his soldiers were slightly inferior in frontal combat.
At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "There is Lao Guogong who has made a move, but this post-war distribution!" ……”
"Well said! Say! …… Haha......" The tall man laughed and rode his horse down the hill.
