Chapter 1085: Bayonets on Artillery

Zhang Dou slowly retracted the clairvoyant mirror and ordered Liu Xitian beside him: "You can fight back!" It's okay for the Jurchens to play with big swords and spears, their brains simply don't use such high-end firearms as artillery! ”

Liu Xitian immediately claimed that he turned around and ran, although he didn't know why the marshal didn't let their artillery counterattack as soon as possible, and had to let the musketeers take a dozen shells before returning fire, but he still resolutely carried out Zhang Dou's order.

The artillerymen, who had long been unable to bear the order, shouted hoarsely one by one: "Fire!" Fire! it! ”

The Uzhen Chaoha battalion didn't look at the lively artillery fire, but most of the shells they fired had already missed.

It's not that they don't do their best, it's that they can't help it!

Huang Taiji's request was too urgent, and the gun emplacements were not completed, so he could only use wooden planks to fire under the artillery.

But the planks are just planks after all, and the planks have some cracks after the first shot. After they adjusted the artillery, the wood of the second cannon directly shattered.

Each of the guns in the back sank a few points into the dirt, and although the gunners were trying to adjust, almost every gun did not refer to the target, and it was a new fire.

It's strange that you can still hit accurately in this situation!

But the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion didn't dare to cease fire and build artillery positions, and the Khan King Huang Taiji was watching from the sidelines! Who dares to touch his old man's brow at this time, what is the difference between this and looking for death?

They could only pray that the cannon would be completely sunk into the dirt and that the former emperor Taiji would order the cannon to stop, otherwise it would be difficult for the cannon to be dragged away.

But the artillery of the Changxing army did not make them wait too long, and before they could fire a few shots, the shells of the Changxing army's counterattack fell into the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion.

The old men of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion who had experienced the shelling of the Changxing Army still remembered the original scene, and the overwhelming shells drowned their artillery in a blink of an eye.

At that moment, they could do nothing but flee, and when the first shell of the Changxing army's counterattack fell, a third of the soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion turned around and fled.

They don't care which way they flee, as long as they can get out of these artillery. Before the others could figure out what was going on, the shells of the Changxing Army covered the artillery.

More than 50 artillery pieces were baptized by hundreds of shells in a blink of an eye, and then they were rotated six or seven times by the Changxing army before they stopped.

Until the Changxing Army adjusted the target of the artillery, there was no complete artillery in the same place, and this area was as miserable as if it had been plowed by someone.

Huang Taiji looked at the artillery destroyed by the Changxing Army, and his heart was dripping blood, again, again, again, when will this kind of aggrieved and beaten day be a head?

Liu Xitian immediately ordered the adjustment of the muzzle of the cannon after destroying the Jurchen Wuzhen Chaoha battalion and aimed at the Jurchen army formation.

Yamamoto and the others pushed the first sun cannon to follow closely with the gunner, and he shouted loudly while pushing the cannon forward: "Brothers, work hard!" It's time to put bayonets on the cannons, don't fall behind the gunners, let's rush up and shoot shotshots at close range! ”

The artillerymen in his group followed the promise, and one by one they not only took off the plate armor on their chests, but also took off their shirts.

In this way, they walked bareback in front of the musketeers, and there were many artillerymen like Yamamoto, and they laughed and competed with each other to see who could better retreat the artillery to the battlefield.

"Biaozi!" Ma Jingbo couldn't help pouting under his mask and scolded in a low voice.

Ding Tao also muttered: "Han Bazi! If you run in front of us, you won't be able to die without armor! ”

Huang Taiji hadn't recovered from the loss of Wuzhen Chaoha's camp before one after another shells smashed into his array.

The shells of the Changxing Army were much more ruthless than those of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, and almost every shell did not bring out a large amount of blood.

There were only two options in front of Huang Taiji, attacking and withdrawing, but when he saw the cavalry on both sides of the Changxing army, he gave up his plan to escape.

Huang Taiji immediately gave the order to attack, and those bannermen pushing the shield cart immediately rushed forward, followed by a large number of armor soldiers and bannermen.

The archers also approached quickly behind the shield cart, and as soon as they entered the firing range, they would immediately deal a round of blows to the Changxing army.

The artillery of the Changxing Army also adjusted its targets, and these bannermen pushing shield carts became their primary targets.

As the two sides drew closer, Yamamoto and the other artillerymen stopped their artillery and began to get busy.

Looking at the shield cart that was getting closer and closer, Yamamoto, who had his cannon ready, did not immediately open fire as soon as the Jurchens entered the firing range. Looking at the shield cart that was getting closer and closer, the hearts of the others hung in the air.

Suddenly, a cannonball hit the shield cart in front of them, and one shield cart was destroyed amid the screams, and the other shield cart was also affected and stopped.

"Fire!" Yamamoto seized the gap in front of him and gave a loud command to fire.

Thousands of lead bullets entered through the gap in the shield cart, and immediately set off a bloody storm among the flags.

Almost as soon as he gave the order to fire, sporadic Jurchen arrows hit their heads.

The artillerymen of the Changxing Army didn't seem to see these scattered arrows, and they were still busy touching the artillery.

Soon, the command to "fire again" was shouted loudly, and one by one the early sun cannons were aimed at the approaching shield cart and opened fire again.

At a distance of sixty or seventy paces, the First Sun Cannon was almost invincible, and anything that stood in their way would be destroyed.

Not only the shield chariot, but even the bannermen and archers behind were knocked down.

In the hands of the gunner, who was already close to the artilleryman, Ma Jingbo changed the word and scolded: "Crazy! ”

Ding Tao also nodded in agreement, he sincerely admired this group of deadly artillerymen. Even in the Changxing army, there were not many people who dared to stand in front of the Jurchens without wearing armor and fire at close range.

But it was precisely this kind of frantic action of the artillerymen that halted the momentum of the Jurchen attack, and almost all the shield vehicles they built were destroyed.

The Changxing gunners also stood above the artillerymen, firing in rows at the officer's command.

Without the protection of many shield carts, whether it is the bannerman, or the armor soldier, or the archers and the Changxing army to shoot each other, it is an act of seeking death.

The dense buckshot would teach them to cherish life and stay away from the Changxing army, and Huang Taiji's attack was quickly defeated.

Huang Taiji didn't make any preparations at all, pulled out dozens of people from the people who fled back and beheaded them, and immediately ordered another attack.

Just as the flagmen walked out towards the Changxing Army again, there were bursts of crying from the ranks of the Changxing Army.

These voices slowed down the Jurchens who were preparing to attack, and when they looked in front of the Changxing army, a group of people without military uniforms appeared in front of the general's formation with a long rope.

On that long rope there are groups of Jurchen women and children! If you want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Legend of the Iron Backbone of the Late Ming Dynasty", follow "Hot Network or rd444" on WeChat to chat with more book friends about your favorite books
