Chapter 513: Siege and Fierce Fighting, Sharp Firearms
readx;
Behind the phalanx, on the outside of the phalanx, the Liwei camp walker was all dressed in armor, and the armor with the metallic luster of the head and tumor could not even be seen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With such iron armor, it is presumable that the bow and arrow will not have any effect, and the cavalry of the sect captives wandering outside the formation all shoot from their backs, shooting their bows and arrows into the interior of the phalanx.
By the time the cavalry began to draw their bows and arrows, the generals of the two regiments had already given orders. The soldiers on the inside began to shake their spears and raise their wooden shields on their backs.
In the dense spear phalanx, the shaking of the spears could block some of the arrows that came from them, and the wooden shield was raised, which was even more covered.
But after all, there is a gap between the wooden shields, and the number of cavalry outside is far superior, and the arrow rain is dense, and many people are still injured by arrows, and the screams have already sounded.
The outside was surrounded by regiments, and if the formation of the foot soldiers was scattered, they would be charged in by the cavalry, but they could not move, and even the wounded could not be treated.
Because there were fire prosperiums in the two regiments that fired outward, the cavalry tried to stay away from it when they went around this side, and the left side of the second regiment and the front of the first regiment were not under much pressure.
After each of the Mongolian horse teams circling the infantry formation has shot an arrow, they have to come back in a large circle to shoot the second arrow, and among them, they also have to worry about being hit by the fire in the gap between the infantry formations, and when they pass around the car camp, the light artillery that continues to shoot outward in the car camp is not bad
There were also people among the captives who were strange. If the infantry of the Ming army withdrew to the camp of the car, according to such a defense, the brigade would have no way to take him at all, why was it still lined up outside the defensive position.
Seeing the bow and arrows shooting, the miserable screams sounded in the Buxin array, Wang Tong's face turned cold, hesitated for a moment, turned over and dismounted, took out the shoulder strap containing ammunition from the saddle bag of the mount, and after carrying it on his body, he opened his mouth and ordered:
"The guards and artillerymen held the gap, and the fire soldiers and archers who knew how to shoot arrows were divided into two teams, one of which was led by the officer. A team of floating bows to lead and shoot in front of the battle!! ”
Wang Tong loaded his two short fires with ammunition, and after checking the fire rope, he turned out close to the spear array, and the foot soldiers in the two phalanxes were close to each other, and the spears were flat outward.
The fire commanders and archers followed behind Wang Tong and the bow, bowing their bodies and trotting under their spears, and the cavalry were shooting arrows into the phalanx, and they also knew that as long as the pressure was applied to a certain extent, the two solid arrays would also collapse.
No one noticed at all that Wang Tong and the others, who were almost crawling under the spear, with two short fires. Coupled with the ammunition bag he was carrying, the weight was not light, and Wang Tong almost walked hand and foot together. Quite difficult.
The Huwei infantry who raised their spears diagonally at the flat end had also noticed the movement under the spear shaft, but they did not dare to divert their attention, for fear that if they raised their spears, the shoe cavalry on the opposite side would rush in.
Listening to the screams in their ears, the generals shouted loudly. Let the soldiers under him hold on, don't move, the chaos and the collapse of the formation will be even more miserable, coupled with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside, and the feather arrows that are whistling through the air. It's really a Shura field.
Dust kicked up by horses' hooves filled the space. Wang Tong, who was crawling close to the phalanx, had been carefully counting the number of soldiers, and when he reached the other end of the formation, Wang Tong turned around and sat on the ground directly.
The head was the spear shaft, and in the dust fluttering in front of him, the cavalry screamed to draw their bows and arrows, and the fire soldiers and archers who followed Wang Tong were all kneeling on the ground, and behind them were the chariots with spears, and the archers had flattened their longbows and began to shoot arrows outward.
Less than thirty paces away from the phalanx, there were shoe cavalry moving around the phalanx, although they were hidden in the dust, but there were so many people, and when they shot an arrow, they were coldly shot by the enemy.
Wang Tong sat on the ground, ignoring the choking dust, took a few deep breaths, blew up the fire rope that had been dimmed, clamped it on the bird's beak clip, used the tong strip to finally pragmatically remove the ammunition, raised the short tong with both hands, and stretched out from between the spear shafts.
The other fire soldiers were all ready to shoot, and they half-knelt there and held up the fire rao slightly, Wang Tong pulled the trigger, "Touch, there was a small loud noise, and I could see a cavalry not far away from the horse with a scream, and the spear array behind him also moved." Apparently startled by the sudden noise.
The fire was fired. At such a close distance, every fire sharp sound will hit people or horses, Wang Tong's shot is equivalent to a signal, which is equivalent to the signal of the first strike of hundreds of fires around the infantry phalanx, in such an environment, the fire soldiers do not know when they can fire. They only know that their companions around them fire, and they will only move when they hear the sound, there is no salvo, there is no loud roar.
The sound of horses' hooves, shouts and screams, and even the sound of fire firing were drowned out. At such a distance, there is no difference between the fire and the fire against the target, and the hit rate even exceeds the initial salvo.
But there were too many people who rescued the captives, and the first one was fired, and the dust was filled, and the people behind even saw their companions in front screaming and falling off their horses, and thought it was an accident. I just continued to stretch my bow and arrows, and I didn't know that it was wrong until bad luck befell me, but it was too late.
Wang Tong threw the fire on the ground, and pulled out the second shot from his back, and after cleaning up, he raised his hand to hit again, regardless of whether there was a corresponding scream outside... 8 fisherman's concave body clams! , noon" and began to pack up, clear the chamber, reload ammunition, and then prepare to continue the "worry six."
It was very troublesome for the half-kneeling fire commanders to load several feet of fire arrows, but until now, the horses surrounding the outside, the front fell, and the rear followed, and they didn't even know that the fire soldiers and archers were under the spears in the first row.
Four hundred fires, dozens of bows, and the first round of shooting caused more than 300 casualties. After the second round of shooting, even in a dusty and difficult environment, the prisoners knew that it was not good.
The generals of the cavalry were shouting to retreat, making the circle of the pocket larger, but the distance was large, and on the back of the bumpy horse, the arrows could not be shot into the phalanx.
But the encirclement has been encircled, and it is so easy to expand in a hurry, and the shooting of the fire prosper has never stopped, and some people have not stopped falling, and some people have reacted and shot arrows towards the first row of arrays, but the arrows shot from a distance are not at all a threat to the armor of the Huwei battalion, and they are lucky to shoot at which part of the fire rao soldiers. and was stopped by a spear.
The besieging cavalry was a little panicked, but the circle unconsciously grew bigger and bigger, and even ran out of the range of bows and arrows, so such a siege had no meaning.
Gradually, the cavalry brigade also stopped, and the team of the Huwei army hesitated.
Wang Tong got up from the ground, walked a few steps to the tip of the spear of the first line of soldiers, and picked up the fire lock. Said loudly:
"Pass the word, the fire lock soldiers and archers are out of the ranks, and they are on guard outside!!"
The fire soldiers passed the word from right to left, one by one, and those who heard this order all bowed down with the fire sharp, set up a fire system outside, and faced the outside in silence.
The large phalanx of 3,000 people was surrounded by more than 400 fire soldiers and archers outside, not even surrounded, but stood sparsely in a circle, and for the cavalry outside, they only had time to fire once and shoot an arrow, but they still stood like that, facing the outside firmly.
Looking at the fire system to describe themselves, each of the cavalry unconsciously reined in the horse, some of them fought with the Ming army, some people listened to their companions describe the battle with the Ming army, all they heard was how unbearable the firearms of the Ming army were, the artillery was indeed a little terrible, but what three-eyed Rao, Xunleitong was too far worse than the bow and arrow, the Ming army rate would pick up the fire and fight indiscriminately when they saw them appear hundreds of steps away, or even thousands of steps away, without causing any harm, and so rushed to the front, The firearms of the Ming army became waste, garbage, and the small ones were thrown away and fled.
But how can the Ming military firearms I met today be so sharp, as long as they are beaten, they are either killed or injured. A few generals were hit by firearms and dragged behind, and those who knew how to treat the disease said that they might not be able to save their hands and feet. If you want to do it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life.
I didn't know it. There are hundreds of nearly a thousand companions who have been knocked off their horses, and now looking at the Ming army's fire hammer outward, the brigade rushed up, these more than 400 people are not worth mentioning, but will it be themselves who will die. Come to think of it. Everyone is hesitant.
"Bring the wounded back to the camp from the array, the inside makes up for the outside, and the phalanx formation remains the same!".
Wang Tong shouted the order, now every soldier is on the outside and the combat post of the car battalion, now the order can only rely on word of mouth in the team, not long after the car camp was moved, the phalanx leaned on the inside also dodged the gap, with a flatbed cart and a stretcher to carry people in one by one.
Wang Tong looked left and right, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted loudly:
"What are you doing in a daze, firing a cannon!!"
The cavalry had already retreated far away, and although they had approached just now, they had not destroyed the artillery position. As soon as Wang Tong shouted, everyone realized that everyone didn't even give an order, and everyone who heard it was shouting in unison:
"Your Excellency has an order!! Fire the gun!! ”
The artillerymen in the middle of the queue were stunned, and they all ran to the gun position like crazy, and began to load ammunition, ready to fire"
"Boom! Rumble! ”。 The sound vibrated and the cavalry brigade that was gathering suddenly scattered outwards and ran in all directions.
Wanhu Najit, who was watching the battle on the hills, had a heavy face, and the leaders and nobles on the side all looked at each other, and someone whispered:
"I didn't expect this group of Ming troops to be so difficult to gnaw, isn't it too expensive?"
Najit struck his riding boots with his whip, stared at the front, and said:
"I can take it
