readx;?“ This is the head of the Fifth Legion of the Koukou, the head of the Sect, the affinity of the Bee Suka Housekee, and the ......"
Someone shouted beside Wang Tong, Wang Tong looked at the surging group of people and horses in front of him, and asked loudly on his horse: "Is the artillery team ready?" ”
Immediately, someone replied loudly: "Returning to the commander, the artillery array is ready to shoot!" ”
"All artillery opens fire on the right flank of the Koukou, firing six rounds!"
Wang Tong gave the order again, and he could hear the herald shouting and agreeing, going to the artillery team to give the order, and some people hurriedly went to the cavalry brigade to give the order, and he could see that the cavalry took out strips of cloth or cotton balls from their arms to plug the ears of the horses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The distance of five hundred steps is actually not far, and in the vanguard of the queue of the squatters who rushed over in that brigade, there were more than 1,000 cavalry, these cavalry did not let go of the charge, but separated a certain distance, restraining the samurai and ashigaru behind them, the cavalry was slowly accelerating, and the whole brigade was also accelerating, but because there was a front horse team to correct the end line, such a large team was still maintaining neatness.
I could see that the black and oppressive brigade was getting faster and faster, and the cavalry in front finally spread their horses and began to rush towards the Ming army's array.
"Plug Lao Tzu's ears, otherwise you don't care if you are deaf!"
Mu En, the general of the artillery team, has also plugged his ears, so the voice that shouted out is a little out of tune, and most of the artillerymen can't hear it, because they have blocked their ears.
All the firefighters with red-burning iron tongs were looking at the red flag in Mu En's hand, and the rest of the artillerymen were making final corrections, and the red flag in Mu En's hand was always standing upright and not being put down.
The forward of the Kou team got closer and closer, two hundred paces away from the Ming army's front, and the red flag in Mu En's hand waved down violently, shouting: "Open the cannon!" ”
Even he could not hear the sound of his cannon, because the cannon had already roared, and the ground began to shake, and although the ears were blocked beforehand, and the horses were far away from the artillery array, the horses were still disturbed, and some of them were jumping and moving there, and the cavalry were all scrambled to subdue there.
Wang Tong pulled the reins with all his might, his horses were good horses, and quickly settled down, Wang Tong wanted to see what kind of effect such a bombardment would have at this distance.
However, at this moment when the sky shook the earth, he only saw that the cavalry at the front disappeared all at once, and then it was all dust, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
The launch of hundreds of artillery pieces is another kind of high-quality artillery, and this instantaneous opening can be said to be the largest firepower output in this era.
Hundreds of high-speed flying cannonballs fell directly into the advancing formation, and the front team of several cadres was wiped out at this moment, and the shells took the lives of everyone in the way in the process of flying, and after landing, they bounced up again, continuing to destroy flesh and blood.
Because it was too dense for so many guns in one direction, the shells actually collided with each other, changing directions with each other, causing greater casualties. [Daybreak Spirit.]
In this era, solid shells could only strike a line and cause damage on the running line, but so many artillery pieces and so many lines constituted a surface, and within the scope of this surface, everyone was turned into flesh and blood.
The reason why those cavalry disappeared was not really out of thin air, but they were hit by cannonballs, and the flesh exploded in an instant. ”
The herald stumbled to Mu En, in such a fire, people were unsteady on their feet, after this first round of artillery fire, a large number of Kou Kou had been cleared, the next thing to do was to shoot the enemy at the far end with artillery, as many as they could.
There he was screaming loudly, and after the roar of the cannons, he was afraid that the people below would not hear his orders, because everyone's ears were buzzing now.
The order was still conveyed, and the artillerymen immediately washed the breech, loaded the ammunition, and after roughly measuring the distance, they all took a wooden wedge and nailed it to the gun carriage under the artillery, and used the wooden wedge to adjust the firing angle of the artillery, and then achieved the purpose of adjusting the firing range.
It was as if someone was whipping them, because they were afraid that the enemy in front of them would rush over and grab the cannon, but in fact they didn't have to worry so much, because the follow-up Kou didn't know how to advance or retreat there, and they had never seen such an attack, and they were completely frightened.
"After loading, after calculating the distance, start firing, no need to wait for orders, fire six rounds per gun, and then be on standby!"
The generals below Mu En kept conveying this order, and the artillery of the Huwei Army and the regimental artillery of each regiment were concentrated on this position, and the smallest three-pound guns, all the way to the largest twelve-pound guns, were arranged into positions one after another, and they fired one after another at this time.
The hesitant army immediately knew how to move, the cannonballs whistled from mid-air, falling into their ranks, this time there was no such horror, after a loud noise, the companions in front of them became stumps and broken arms, but every time a cannonball landed, someone's whole body was shattered, and someone fell directly to the ground, and those who were broken were Zhang Yun's, some people's arms and feet were taken away by cannonballs, blood spurted out wildly, people screamed loudly on the ground, and the screams quickly became lower, Painful death.
The queue of the Kou who rushed forward collapsed directly, everyone was running in all directions, dodging the shells that were still falling, not only they were scattering, the large array behind them was moving, no one thought that the Ming army would have such a powerful firepower, the Kou had seen the artillery of the Li family in Liaozhen under the city of Pyongyang, and thought it was an earth-shattering weapon, but today I knew that compared with the present, it is just that the light of the fireflies is too far and too far away from the sun and the moon, as if it is the power of the ghosts and gods to be angry.
In the face of such a large firepower, whether or not we can win can no longer hope for any victory, more precisely, whether we can leave alive......
The range of the Ming army's six-pound cannon can already hit the front line of the Koukou main formation, and the nine-pound cannon and the twelve-pound cannon are directly causing damage in the Koukou array, they did not expect that the artillery of the Ming army can actually hit so far, and even some high-level warriors are unable to dodge in the formation, and they die directly.
There was no real fight with the enemy, just died under the shelling, the enemy is still far away from himself, such a battle death is discouraged, unwilling, but from another point of view, it also gives them an excuse to dodge and escape, at this time to avoid this powerful firepower, not cowardly, but just to preserve the useful body.
The rout of the samurai made the ashigaru even more panicked, they were already trembling and panicking in the face of such an earth-shattering voice, if there was no one to supervise the battle, they would have been kneeling on the ground and praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and the collapse of the samurai made their formation impossible to maintain at all.
Some people began to run away, the spear in their hands was too troublesome, so they threw it away, and the flag was too conspicuous to be thrown away, and the bamboo armor and leather armor they were wearing would also be recognized and thrown away, and they also knew that if they fled into the countryside like this, the angry Korean villagers would also kill them, but now no one cared so much, and they all wanted to escape from this battlefield and from this hell of iron, fire and flesh.
The cannonballs were still falling, and the samurai in the back row received an order to stop the rout with slashing, but the heavy artillery kept adjusting the bow range, and even the samurai who supervised the battle were killed by the artillery, and the artillery below six catties had stopped firing, leaving only the heavy artillery firing rhythmically, and the cannon sound was not continuous, but every time it roared, there must be casualties, and they kept retreating, but the shells always seemed to catch up.
The left flank of the Great Array of Men was under this dense to sparse shelling, from the beginning of the attack to the retreat, from order to chaos, more and more without formation, everyone was fleeing, everyone was in confusion, the ground was full of corpses and flesh, everywhere there were fallen horses and weapons, and it was in a mess. The last loud bang, when this one sounded, the formation of the Kou was chaotic again, and everyone subconsciously avoided and dodged when they heard the loud noise.
Wang Tong wiped his face with his hand, there were a lot of ashes on his hands, and he could no longer see the situation of the position of the Kou on the opposite side clearly, the smoke of gunpowder was full, and it would cover and block his vision.
"Pass my general order, with the Huwei army and firearms and horses as the front Fu, followed by the ironclad cavalry, the Datong cavalry and the Liaozhen cavalry followed behind, and launched an attack on the front of the Koukou, completely disrupted the formation of the Koukou, and drove the Koukou to the position of our army's foot soldiers!"
The herald agreed loudly, and hurriedly went over to pass the order, Wang Tong said loudly again: "Sha Dongning, you go and tell Li Hutou that when the broken and scattered Kou is about to rush to the infantry array of the Huwei Army, the cavalry is a hammer, and the infantry is an anvil, and now it is necessary to put the Kou on the anvil, smash it with a hammer, and tell him that he must be as immobile as a mountain!" ”
Sha Dongning immediately agreed and led the people to go, and Wang Tong shouted again: [Dawn Spirit.]
"Lu Ying, Wu Wu, Wu Hong, Wu Hai, Tan Yong, you each go to contact the border soldiers, one person is in charge of a town, meet with the generals who lead the troops, and come back to receive the order after it is determined, and the rest of the border soldiers come to the Shuai Qi to listen to my orders!"
Among the nine borders, Gansu, Jizhen and Liaozhen did not send border soldiers, that is to say, one of the five of them contacted a team, and there were 1,500 people directly under Wang Tong.
This side also went, and Wang Tong shouted loudly again: "Wu Er, you go and tell Ma Sanbiao, first use the firearms cavalry to open the enemy, use the ironclad cavalry to crush the enemy, and then it's the matter of the brother cavalry!" ”
Wu Er shouted, and also went, the cavalry of this brigade had begun to move forward slowly, and the cavalry division at the front wore helmets and firearm cavalry, they put short fire guns on their shoulders, and marched forward.
Over there, Mu En and Zhang Wu were shouting at the artillery to pack up the shells and tools as much as possible, so that the cavalry could pass through, the battlefield was very large, but the artillery emplacement space occupied a lot of space, and the cavalry wanted to take a detour to delay time and efficiency too much, so they passed directly through the artillery position.
"We've already defeated them, so you're going to clean up the rest!"
The cavalry rode through, and the artillerymen standing there laughed and joked, and the cavalry on the horse did not show weakness, shouting: "You stand here and fire, it's okay if others hide away, or rely on us to ride over to be completely defeated!" ”
The smoke gradually faded, although it was still floating in the air, but it was already possible to see the situation on the other side, the Kou was still chaotic, as expected, the cavalry army led by the cavalry army waved his arms in a circle on the horse, shouting loudly in his mouth, the cavalry with firearms was urging the horse forward, slowly turning into a horizontal team, and the rest of the cavalry was the same, after coming out of the artillery array, the whole team began to change, slowly changing.
The speed of the firearms cavalry was not too fast, and the cavalry behind was pressing their horses more slowly, so as to gradually widen the distance, and the firearms cavalry were getting closer and closer to the enemy's array, and they could not run too fast, because the ground was full of corpses, and the horses had to dodge their feet.
The cessation of the shelling could not make the array of the Koukou settle down much, they were still in a panic, but seeing the opposing cavalry slowly emerging from the smoke of gunpowder, the samurai and ashigaru still let out a heart-rending scream, the power of the artillery was something they had never seen before, but they knew what it meant that the appearance of cavalry or the appearance of ironclad cavalry meant.
"Pick up the spear and don't run around!!" "If you run around, you will die, and if you resist, you may be able to live!!"
The ranks were filled with such shouts, and they barely formed a formation, and the firearms cavalry began to move, and they only began to trot about fifty paces from the front of the Yingkou array.
To be precise, it wasn't an impact, it was just the horses moving forward quickly, and the samurai and ashigaru on the side of the Koukou were completely sure to stop it, and this realization gave them the courage to start shouting and raising their weapons to meet them.
But when the distance was about thirty paces, the cavalry who rushed to the front was holding a short firearm and pulling the trigger forward, and at this distance, there was a dense crowd on the opposite side, and there was no miss, and there was a thief in front of him who fell to the ground in response, and the horseman's body shook down, but he pulled the reins, turned the horses, put the firearm into the leather bag on the side of the saddle, and then drew the saber.
The first row of firearms cavalry did the same, and after the whole row had finished firing, they all turned their horses to both sides, and those behind followed.
This is almost equivalent to a volley of firearms at close range, although the firearms cavalry is only a few hundred in total, but after a few rounds, the opposite array of firearms has begun to be chaotic, so that the firearms cavalry following behind has more and more space to turn and bow, and finally, the firearms cavalry has finished shooting, and the front line of the formation maintained in front of them has also collapsed.
The task of the firearms cavalry was completed, divided into two teams, the ironclad cavalry behind them began to move forward, the distance between the ironclad cavalry and the firearms cavalry was hundreds of paces, and it had always been the speed of the horses, and now, it was driven at full speed, they were wearing armor, their mounts were covered by felt leather armor, and they held the eldest son in their hands, and now the first row was completely flat, and they rushed over.
The shot of the short fire has been scattered, and then seeing such an impact, the Kou infantry can no longer be maintained, the iron artillery and the archery team are in the forefront of the brigade, and they have suffered heavy losses in the artillery bombardment, and now there is no long-range weapon to deal with such heavy cavalry, they can only rely on the swords and guns in the resistance, there are too many casualties, they no longer have such a firm belief, they only want to dodge and hide.
The already loose formation of the Kou Kou was like butter cut by a burning red knife, directly separated, dodging to both sides, but the army of 110,000 Kou Kou, even if the loss in front was so large, but the total number of people was there after all, and the back was full of people, although there was a sāo movement, but it was barely maintained, and there was not much space for them to escape and disperse.
One group broke up, and there was still a distance between them and the rear, but this distance did not at all neutralize the charge of the heavy cavalry, but instead provided them with a target.
Everyone shouted, some for their own encouragement, some for fear of the emperor, the ironclad cavalry rushed in, each spear pierced through the body of more than one enemy, the horses also caused casualties, and then the ironclad cavalry drew their axes and long knives, and began to slash vigorously, they wanted to break through their own openings, as much damage as possible. Datong cavalry and Liaozhen cavalry and the firearms cavalry who drew out the saber also arrived, the tactics of the light cavalry of the Daming border town, before approaching the dense enemy, it is necessary to shoot arrows in the sky, and kill the enemy as much as possible before hand-to-hand combat, in order to shoot more enemies with bows and arrows, the formation of the cavalry is as long as possible, looking at it from afar, there is actually the momentum of wrapping the array of the Koukou, well, the whistle, the rain of arrows splashed out, the samurai and the ashigaru looked up at the sky in fear, and saw that it was like a rainstorm, and the dense arrows were whistling and falling. [Daybreak Spirit.]
Screaming, routing, before they could finish it, the cavalrymen were already drawing their swords and rushing into their ranks, slashing, this was already a massacre.
The entire huge formation of the Koukou has begun to be shaken under this one-sided attack, and has begun to disintegrate, the Huwei Army, the Datong Cavalry, and the Liaozhen Cavalry continue to rush and kill, and gradually form a diagonal ironclad cavalry to penetrate the enemy formation as much as possible, and then turn to drive the enemy away, while the firearms cavalry is to maintain the connection between the ironclad cavalry and those cavalry behind, so as not to be alone,、。
"Roaring Ying, Roaring Wu, take the border army foot soldiers you contacted, follow our cavalry and then oppress and drive away the Kou Kou, Wu Hong Wu Hai Tan Yong, the three of you lead the infantry to the edge of the left flank of our army, cooperate with Sun Xin to gather and annihilate the enemy who is advancing through the enemy, and after completion, start to encircle the enemy army on the spot!"
Wang Tong gave orders loudly there, and everyone who heard the order answered loudly and hurriedly rode out of battle.
……“……”
From the time the artillery of the Ming army began to roar, the expressions of several regiment commanders changed from cautious to desperate, they watched the battlefield shake in a daze, tremors came, hundreds of samurai and ashigaru died on the battlefield below, and the neat ranks that seemed to have some rules gradually became chaotic, and they dispersed until they disappeared.
The power of the Ming army's firearms was so huge, which made the illusions and extravagant hopes of the Ming army disappear, they had never seen this kind of attack like a tsunami and an earthquake, and the collapse of the battlefield soil also made them feel that they were trembling in front of the high ground.
They thought that the Liaozhen cavalry they saw would be a strong cavalry that they could not leave, but they did not expect that the cavalry they saw today was even stronger than the one they had seen before.
The various troops that were originally clearly divided were all in chaos, and the various families and troops were mixed together, and they felt dizzy when they looked at it from a high place, and the large array of the entire army looked like a pot of boiling porridge, and it was a mess.
In this chaotic outside, the Ming cavalry was constantly rushing and killing, and the position had already been penetrated by the opponent's heavy cavalry, and the light cavalry expanded this section and then began to attack.
The samurai and ashigaru have become headless flies, not knowing what to do, not knowing where to go, although the individual is panicked and desperate, and at a loss, the whole general trend can also be seen clearly, the Ming cavalry is holding the large group of men and horses of the Koukou, and is driving towards the Ming army foot soldiers who are waiting for the battle.
It can be seen that several infantry phalanxes of the Ming army have been lined up, with firearms and spearmen lined up layer by layer, and there are not so strict infantry soldiers during the cruise.
"Takahashi Tongren died in battle!!" "Lord Tachibana Soshige died in battle!!" "Ikoma Kinsamasu died in battle!!" "Kurishima-sama is seriously injured!!" "Katsutaka Toda-sama"
The names of the generals of the country were reported one by one, and there were many people who couldn't even pass it on, and they and the people around them had already died in battle. "What to do, what to do!"
Wearing a gorgeous armor, Ukita Hideya, his face was extremely pale, and his whole body trembled as if he was sifting chaff, and everyone did not despise this kind of timid rat, they all looked at each other, and their faces were not much more ruddy than Uki, and suddenly, a flag samurai ran over quickly, and when he arrived at Kobayakawa Takakei, he wanted to report in a low voice, and when he saw the expression of his own adult, he raised his voice and said: "Shimazu-sama led his troops to withdraw from the battle!" ”
Everyone was furious, the Shimazu family was almost the last daimyo in Kyushu to surrender to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he had always had his own thoughts, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, he would run away so unrealistically.
Kobayakawa Takakei was just about to speak, but Mori Hidemoto walked up to him and whispered, "Kobayakawa-sama, it's too late for us to leave!" If we can return to Japan, there is still a lot to be done in the western country! ”
Kobayakawa turned out to be one of the pillars of the Maori family, Maori Xiuyuan is the righteous son of Maori Terumen, and the relationship between the two sides is quite close, hearing this, Kobayakawa Takashi pondered for a while, looked at the battlefield again, shook his head and said miserably: "Now in this situation, we can't go, Xiuyuan, do you think the purpose of this Mingkou is just to ask for help from North Korea?" After saying this, Kobayakawa Takakei seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and whispered to Mori Hidemoto: "You take the flags and go first, all cavalry, you can go, you may be able to find a ship to transport you at the southern tip of Korea, return to Japan, don't move on the Taiko side first, wait for Mingkou's movements and then make a calculation!" ”
Said in a low voice, there are many people around the actual soil to hear, everyone's camp is different, on weekdays to say this, everyone is going to attack in groups, but now it is said that it is not taken care of, Ukita Hideya seems to be awakened, there is a stack of voices urging their own flags: "Hurry up and prepare horses, hurry up and prepare for horses, there are already a few army commanders who have sent people down to collect their soldiers and horses, let Qiben and Shi Cong prepare horses, since it is a losing game, it is good to leave first, The Daming Navy Division blocked the sea route from Korea to Japan, and the army could not cross the sea, but if there were few people, it might not be possible.
This time, the losses of the daimyo in various parts of the western country were heavy, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi's own losses were just as huge, and the situation in the country was about to change, and if he could go back, he might be able to reap greater benefits, and now the question was how to take more of his own soldiers and horses from the battlefield, so that he would have a greater chance of escaping. [Daybreak Spirit.]
One order after another was issued, and some of them had no way to convey them at all, and some of them had no way to carry them out, but some of the soldiers and horses behind the brigade still withdrew.
This kind of action made the entire formation even more collapsed, and the Ming cavalry interspersed it more easily, and the situation of the battlefield became faster and faster in the direction that Wang Tong wanted.
………………
"Fire!!"
Six infantry regiments, nearly 4,000 firecrackers began to shoot, gunpowder smoke and dust once again filled the battlefield, gunshots rang out, people kept falling, the soldiers and horses knew that the infantry array close to the Ming army was the end of destruction, but the Ming cavalry over there was noisy and surging, constantly pressing, they could only hit the Ming army's firearms array.
At maximum range, the musketeers began to fire, and in the distance were the scurrying cowards, who calmly fired, reloaded, and then opened fire again.
One by one, the Pyrus fell, but there were too many of them, and they continued to rush towards this side, and the musketeers began to retreat, retreating into the gaps in the spear queue, ready to shoot.
The firecrackers were impulsed by the spearmen, but the array of spearmen was unshakable, and the spearmen kept dying in front of the spears, with unshakable spears on one side and surging firebolts on the other, and at both ends, the border soldiers began to slowly unfold and block the earth.
There were few people and many people around them, and the Ming army actually opened a huge pocket on this battlefield, put far more people than their own family into it, and began to encircle and annihilate.
"Great marshal, the encirclement on all sides has begun, and almost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are fleeing south!"
News came from the watchtower again, Wang Tong's application that had always been serious and cautious finally relaxed, and said there: "Sha Dongning, you lead the cavalry of the merchant group and the personal guards of the commander to pursue, not to annihilate, only to kill and wound, to drive the enemy as far away as possible, they have nowhere to escape on this Korean island!" ”
Sha Dongning bowed down on the horse and said: "The subordinates receive the order, the subordinates congratulate the commander first, this battle is a big victory, and all the Kou will be annihilated!" ”
"It's not a complete victory, there are still 10,000 heads waiting to be chopped off, it's not too late to come back and talk about these words, go after it first!"
Wang Tong smiled and waved his hand, Wang Tong's personal guards all cheered loudly, rode out of the battle, and followed Sha Dongning together, on the battlefield, the smoke and dust were billowing, the sound of killing shook the sky, and there were fewer and fewer cowards, and it was not far from the cheers of the entire battlefield.
