The rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded under the city of Shunde, and seven hundred cavalrymen dressed in Tartars rushed towards the chariot formation that the White Dragon Army had just put forward in front. br>
And not far from the western city of Shunde, thousands of White Dragon Army foot soldiers also clenched the weapons in their hands and looked coldly at the cavalry rushing ahead.
This time, the soldiers of the 'trapped camp' led by Li Zixiao experienced the battle of the Maguan camp, such a scene, they have already experienced it today, and they did not appear to be as panicked as the Ming army.
The eyes of these white dragon soldiers were cold, flowing with murderous intent, their faces were tense, their mouths were pursed, no one spoke, and none of the bird gunners shot in advance because of panic.
In the face of the rushing wave of cavalry from the opposite side, they calmly listened to the orders of the officers at any time, ready to fire.
After experiencing war and fighting, these White Dragon soldiers who followed Li Zixiao have transformed into elite divisions who have experienced war.
A distance of 1,000 paces is not long for a cavalryman who has already entered a state of sprinting.
Soon, the seven hundred Tartar cavalry rushed in, two hundred steps in front of the White Dragon Army's formation, Li Zixiao looked at the cavalry rushing over, sneered, and said, "You can start." ”
The standard-bearer beside Li Zixiao, after hearing Li Zixiao's words, immediately raised the command flag in his hand and waved it twice, and then the sword and shield soldiers in the front row brushed and separated the passages.
I saw that Sun Dazhuang was commanding the artillery behind him, and quickly pushed up a door tiger squat cannon and a Fran machine gun, which had been loaded and could be fired at any time.
"Fire."
After the artillery stopped, Sun Dazhuang gave an order and decisively gave the order to fire.
Because Sun Dazhuang had to accurately grasp the time, he knew that at this time, their artillery only had a chance to open a shot, and he wanted to make time for the subsequent sword and shield soldiers to close the formation and shoot with the birds.
These more than 50 Tiger Squat Cannons and Furlong cannons were all loaded with scattered shells.
As the cannon sounded, the iron rods, iron balls and stones that were stuffed into the barrel of the cannon were very much poured towards the Tartar cavalry in front.
Plop Plop Plop ......
The Platoon of Tartar cavalry, which had rushed to the front, suddenly crashed into the wall, and the horses let out a scream, and then fell.
"Keep rushing!"
Andari roared angrily and continued to order his cavalry to charge, and at this time all the Tartar cavalry also knew that the speed of the war horse must not be slowed down.
In this round, more than 50 Tiger Squat cannons and Furlong machine guns fired scattered shells in a fan, killing and wounding at least fifty or sixty Tartars.
If it weren't for the Tartar charge formation that was too scattered, it is estimated that there would have been more deaths.
"Everybody, get out!"
After Sun Dazhuang saw that his artillery had finished firing, he immediately ordered his artillery to withdraw.
I saw that one by one the artillerymen either lifted the tiger squat cannon, or pushed the sports car with the Fran cannon, and retreated back along the passage vacated by the sword and shield soldiers.
Fortunately, the weight of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong cannon is not heavy, and the Tiger Squat Cannon can run up with two artillery pieces carried, and the Furlong cannon is designed with a gun carriage, which is also very convenient.
It took only ten seconds for Sun Dazhuang to command the artillery to come out, complete the fire, and then quickly retreat, which was all the result of their rigorous training.
And because of the obstruction of the fallen cavalry in front, the speed of the Tartars rushing up behind was still affected.
When Sun Dazhuang commanded the artillery to retreat, the sword and shield soldiers who were 'trapped in the camp' reclosed the shield array, and the Tartar cavalry had just rushed eighty paces away.
And the distance of eighty paces is exactly within the range of the White Dragon Army's bird guns, and if they deal with Tartar foot soldiers, they will generally shoot within sixty paces.
However, in the face of the Tartar cavalry, they would open fire at a distance of eighty paces.
After all, the Tartar cavalry charged too fast, and they were not like the Tartar foot soldiers, some of whom wore double or even triple heavy armor.
Liu Zhong immediately shouted loudly: "The first row of bird soldiers, prepare!" ”
"Whoa!"
The two hundred bird guns in the front row were immediately picked up by the bird guns, and the muzzles of the black hole holes were aimed at the front.
"Put!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A burst of white smoke sounded, and the two hundred bird-fired soldiers in the first row of the crowd aimed at the cavalry rushing in front of them and pulled the trigger.
After the shooting, the first row of bird-gunned soldiers did not bother to check the results of the battle, and under the officer's order, they retreated to the back, and the second-row bird-gunned men immediately stepped forward and began to shoot.
When the White Dragon Army's Birdmen began to shoot, Andari, who was running at the back of the group, couldn't help but laugh.
In his opinion, these Ming troops were still as timid as ever, and the Ming army's bird guns could only penetrate the armor of the Tartar soldiers within thirty paces.
Now he shot seventy or eighty steps away, which could only be a waste of ammunition, and he thought that this was the Ming army general who was frightened and gave the order to shoot in advance.
In fact, not only the Tartar general Andari, but even Chen Luo, who was watching the battle on the city wall at this time, was so angry that he scolded.
"Who is the commander of this Ming army, doesn't he know that the lethality of the bird gun is almost zero at such a distance?
The commander of this team is simply a bastard who doesn't understand anything, and his own officials will also join him after the war. ”
After seeing such a scene on the battlefield, some people laughed, some scolded, and some people disdained.
But only the White Dragon soldiers in the car formation, still under the command of Li Zixiao, methodically fired at the oncoming cavalry.
But soon, Chen Luo, who was standing on the city wall and watching the battle, and the expressions that were urging the Tartar army to charge Andari began to become surprised.
For they had seen that several Tartar knights, who were running at the forefront, were falling off their horses one by one at the sound of gunfire.
"What the hell is going on, how can the Ming army's firearms be able to fight so far?"
Believing Andari, staring at the back with a pair of disbelief eyes, watching everything that was happening in front of him.
"Hmph, these Tartars really want to eat Lao Tzu with just seven hundred cavalry, who eats who is not necessarily!"
Li Zixiao, who was standing in the center of the White Dragon Army chariot array, looked at the Tartar soldiers who kept falling off his horse, and secretly sneered in his heart.
"Although our new bird guns have to be within fifty or sixty meters to penetrate the Tartar foot soldiers wearing double armor.
But at a distance of seventy or eighty paces, it was absolutely not a problem to kill the Tartar hussars in light armor.
What's more, their war horses are not dressed in armor like people, and hitting a war horse can kill them. ”
In the sound of gunshots like fried beans, the Tartar soldiers who were charging fell off their horses like dumplings, and everyone was stunned.
"Where did this team come from, and how could their firearms be so sharp?"
Chen Luo muttered, his hands were too excited, and he tightly grasped the wall bricks on the battlement, and many strong soldiers on the city were all like this.
"The third platoon comes forward and fires!"
Three rows of bird-gunners took turns firing their guns and reloading their ammunition, their movements so clean that the guns continued to ring.
By the time these seven hundred Tartar cavalry rushed thirty meters in front of Li Zixiao's chariot formation, they had already fallen more than two hundred cavalry on the road.
But the Tartar cavalry was still not afraid of death, and after seeing the range of the bow and arrow, they sat up again from their horses, and bent their bows and arrows towards the Ming position in front of them.
Bang bang bang......
The dense rain of arrows fell, and the sword and shield soldiers in the front row of the White Dragon Army, who had been waiting for a long time, made a muffled sound on the big shield they were holding.
Bang bang bang......
The sound of the bird guns rang out again, and the bird gunners hid behind the sword and shield soldiers, and opened fire in front of them through the slightly exposed gaps of the sword and shield soldiers.
This time, because the distance was already very close, the birds could barely aim before they could hit the huge target of the Tartar cavalry galloping in front of them.
In the midst of a roar, more and more fallen Tartar cavalry fell.
As the Tartar cavalry had already rushed up, and after the bird-gunners had fired the last round of bird-guns, Li Zixiao ordered the fire-gunned soldiers to immediately retreat to the sides, re-position and continue firing.
And the order to let the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers of the 'trapped camp' meet them, and a hand-to-hand combat is about to begin!
When countless Tartar cavalry rushed in front of the White Dragon Army chariot formation, they would be the first to encounter the blockade of the outermost circle of carts.
When they tried to jump over the cart that served as a barrier, they were surprised to find that the cart, which was not too tall from a distance, was four feet high.
What's even worse is that the White Dragon Army also arranged these carts in two rows, and the interval was only five steps away, but it was this terrible distance of five steps that stumped these Tartars' light horses.
Even though these Tatar cavalrymen grew up on horseback from an early age, it was not possible for everyone to jump over such extreme obstacles.
Many Tartar cavalrymen were on horseback, and after jumping over the first cart, their speed slowed down.
When they wanted to continue to jump over the obstacle formed by the second cart, they found that they could not speed up in this small space.
The cavalry, who could not speed up and run, wanted to cross the four-foot-high and six-foot-wide cart, which was simply a fool's dream.
When many Tartars crossed the second cart, they even hit the cart with men and horses, and some Tartars stumbled in front of their horses and fell off after jumping over the cart.
In short, there are very few Tartar cavalrymen who can safely jump over the second cart with men and horses.
"Kill!"
A Tartar cavalryman who had managed to skip two carts had not had time to wipe the cold sweat off his face.
He found that at some point, five or six spears were stabbing at him through the shield of the sword and shield soldier in front of him, and the places where these spears pierced were very tricky.
Some stabbed horses, some stabbed people, and the spearman was in a hurry.
Soon, the Tartar cavalryman, who had lost his horse speed, was stabbed alive by several 'trapped' pikemen, and then chopped into meat sauce by the sword and shield soldiers who swarmed up from behind.
The situation of the other Tartar cavalry was similar, when the Tartar cavalry crossed the obstacle of the two carts with difficulty, they would face a spear and shield formation composed of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers of the White Dragon Army.
Looking at a large shield with a height of one and a half meters, a shield wall formed, and a spear pierced from behind the shield at some point and from what direction, these Tartars suddenly became live targets.
Li Zixiao, who had been standing in the battle formation and watching the battle, looked at the Tartar soldiers in front of him in a hurry, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that we have been training for a long time, and this set of chariot formation fighting methods specifically for the Tatar cavalry charge is quite restrained by the Tatar cavalry."
When he saw this, Li Zixiao also noticed that the bird soldiers who had moved to both sides were all in place, and immediately ordered the flag bearer to play the flag.
Soon, after receiving the order, the new-style bird guns in their hands rang out again.
Just as the white dragon soldiers and the Tartar cavalry were fighting in front, Abatai, who was standing a mile outside the battle, his face became more and more iron-blue.
He had seen it with his own eyes just now, and he couldn't believe it.
The elite cavalry under his command was unexpectedly knocked down one by one by the Ming troops he had always looked down on, like birds, and they had no power to fight back.
Abatai's face was blue, looking at the battle situation in front of him, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he asked the general next to him, "Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Where did this Ming army come from, why did our warriors not even have the strength to fight back? ”
Many of the Jialazhangjing next to Abatai lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Abatai.
"It's not good, Lord Belle, is this Ming army the same one that defeated Zabek a month ago? Their firearms are really sharp. ”
At this time, suddenly a Tartar Jialazhangjing remembered and said to Abatai.
"What? Could it really be this Ming army! Abatai also recalled.
In the past month, he led his troops in Baoding Mansion and Dingzhen Mansion in Hebei Province, burning and looting all the way to the south, capturing more than a dozen cities, plundering countless gold, silver and jewelry, tens of thousands of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, and coercing more than 50,000 people.
Except for a few encounters with the obstruction and harassment of the Tianxiong army led by Lu Xiangsheng, at other times, they never encountered other Ming army attacks.
Such a smooth battle made Abatai even forget that Zabek had repeatedly reminded him of such a sharp firearm before his death.
And at this time, Hauge has also been recalled by Dolgon's order, at this time he is in charge of an army alone, and the big loss he suffered before is not him, his memory is not strong.
Abatai turned around twice with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy look on his face, and said slowly: "If it is really the Ming army that Zabek mentioned before his death.
It seems that Zabek is not lying, I also underestimated the Ming army on the other side, Andari is going to suffer a big loss, and I ordered someone to quickly blow the trumpet and let Andari withdraw the army, otherwise it will be too late. ”
As soon as Abatai's words came out, everyone couldn't help but be anxious, and a Jia Lazhangjing immediately stood up and said loudly: "Lord Belle, now Andari has been entangled with the Ming army.
If the army is withdrawn, won't it expose the back to the Ming army? According to the minions, let's send reinforcements and go up to support Andari! ”
