Chapter 33: The Decisive Battle 4
When the pikemen crouched down, the musketeers were not obscured from view, and the columns of musketeers, at this time, still stepped forward in turn, and continued to fire volleys of guns in front of the two armies, sending rows of guns like poisonous bees to the battlefield, tearing apart anything that stood in their way and harvesting lives.
At this point, the atmosphere on the battlefield has been tense to the extreme, a large number of Jiannu rolled towards the Yujia army front, one by one, the carriages were torn apart in the artillery fire, and one by one the shells fell into the battlefield, opening out bloody alleys one after another, rows of shells, harvesting all the lives in front of them, regardless of high or low, high or low.
In less than half an hour, most of the infantry soldiers and Han soldiers who were the first batch of Jiannu to put into the battlefield and a large number of clothed slaves and Minzhuang had fallen to the ground at this time, even if they were not dead or injured, many people were lying on the ground at this time, not daring to raise their heads.
A large number of fierce Jiannu kept trying to rush to the front of the Yu family's army, but without the cover of the car, their charge was only in vain, and they were cut to the ground by the volley of Yu's army as if they were being mowed.
This is simply a one-sided massacre, and in the absence of weapons that can compete with the Yu family's army, this kind of frontal charge is simply a suicidal charge.
Yu Xiaotian quietly looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, a movie he had seen seemed to be a war scene shown in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", a large number of Qing cavalry and infantry, in a dense formation, using simple cold weapons, charged towards the modern infantry array of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but under the intensive artillery fire of the Eight-Nation Alliance, almost all the troops were wiped out.
But now it is only the seventeenth century, and he Yu Xiaotian staged such a scene here, and the scene is far more intense than a thousand times more than what is shown in the movie.
This was a very unfair decisive battle, and his army used weapons and tactics that far exceeded those of the present era for hundreds or even two hundred years, but the Jiannu side still used ancient tactics, which was no longer a gap that could be bridged by courage and strength.
Seeing so many lives being wantonly slaughtered by his own subordinates, Yu Xiaotian couldn't feel a trace of guilt or pity, because he knew what enemy he was facing today, this was one of the most brutal enemies encountered in the history of the Chinese nation.
Yangzhou Shishu, Jiading three slaughter, Suzhou slaughter, Nanchang slaughter, Ganzhou slaughter, Jiangyin slaughter, Kunshan slaughter, Jiaxing slaughter, Haining slaughter, Jinan slaughter, Jinhua slaughter, Xiamen slaughter, Chaozhou slaughter, Yuanjiang slaughter, Zhoushan slaughter, Xiangtan slaughter, Nanxiong slaughter, Jingxian slaughter, Datong slaughter, Fenzhou, Taigu, Mizhou, Zezhou, etc.
In these terrible massacres, millions of Chinese people fell under the butcher's knives of these Jiannu, and countless innocent people were wantonly slaughtered by them.
After Jiannu took control of the world, he still closed himself off, dragging the entire Chinese nation into a situation of lagging behind the world, so that a hundred years later, the Chinese nation suffered unprecedented humiliation from foreign insults.
So today he came here with his troops for only one purpose, which is to completely change this period of history and completely sweep this group of extremely brutal Jiannu into the garbage heap of history.
Today, he used the decisive battle in the opposition to Jiannu as a bait to lure Jiannu to fight, it can be said that he fell into his arms, although the Jiannu army is fierce, but after all, it is still an old-style army, even if the organization and discipline are far beyond the Ming army, but the restrictions of the times make them unable to have stronger combat power.
And his Yu family army, under the leadership of his super bug, has a technological advantage and tactical advantage beyond the times, and the soldiers are enough to wait for work, how can they not get such results.
Seeing batch after batch of Jiannu fall under the fire of the Yujia army under his command, he only felt a burst of relief, but he did not have a little burden of conscience.
If you want to completely solve the great problem of building slaves outside the customs in a relatively short period of time, then these Jiannu who have entered the customs must die, and this kind of massacre will be related to the stability and prosperity of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years in the future, so only a slaughter can achieve long-term peace and stability.
When the Jiannu cavalry rushed towards the front of the Yu family's army, they once again endured the baptism of artillery fire endured by the previous infantry troops, and the artillery of the Yujia army at this time had already thrown off their arms, sweating profusely and operating their artillery, as if they had been hit by a madman, with a fanatical look on their faces.
By this time, some of the guns had already been beaten hot, so they took water, wet their cotton clothes, wiped the barrels, and forcibly cooled the barrels, just to be able to fire more shells.
This is dangerous, but it is also a feasible way, even if it reduces the life of these guns, it is not so much at this time.
There were too many Jiannu to kill, they were rolling in like a tide, and if we couldn't kill as many of them as possible, the infantry line would be under even more pressure.
So at this time, the artillerymen were almost in a state of madness, continuous and violent fire, and the huge sound of the cannon made many artillerymen buzz at this time, but at this time no one cared about it, one by one pulled their necks, screamed, and constantly struggled to reset the cannon, and then used almost crazy speed to clean the chamber and reload.
Countless cannonballs roared and flew to the battlefield, smashing heavily into the battlefield, and then raised a cloud of blood mist, opening up a bloody alley, a large number of Jiannu cavalry, in front of the cannonballs, even the people and horses were torn to pieces, and the people who were beaten were turned over on their backs.
But Jiannu was already crazy at this time, they knew that if they couldn't tear the front of the Yu family army today, then what fate would await them, they were also human beings, and there were also their wives and children outside the gate who were looking forward to their return.
But if they don't defeat this group of Yu Jiajun, then they will be buried in the pass, and they will never be able to return to their homes outside the pass.
So at this time, they also took out all their courage, and one by one they pressed their bodies as tightly as possible on the horse's back, desperately urging the sitted war horse, screaming and rushing forward one after another.
More than 10,000 Jiannu and Mongol cavalry, like a black torrent, swept across the battlefield, over the corpses and broken wreckage of the carts, and the ground was full of dust and dust, and even some of the wounded who were still whining and wailing were trampled into flesh on the spot.
Although there were constantly shells falling into their crowd, and almost every shell had to harvest several of their lives, it still couldn't stop them from pouring towards the Yu family's army line.
The speed of the cavalry far exceeded the speed of the infantry advance, and it only took them a few minutes to rush to the front of Yu's army after a distance of about three miles.
And at this time, it was also when the artillery of the Yu family army completely smashed the last few rows, and the last group of Jiannu who were still trying to charge forward were also knocked to the ground by the volley of the Yu family's guns.
In the area more than a hundred paces in front of the front of the front of the army, it was almost a hell on earth, and the corpses of a large number of Jiannu soldiers were piled up here, and in some places they were even piled up into a corpse wall more than half a person high, and human blood trickled out of the corpses, collecting on the ground to form a blood-red stream, and then flowing into some low-lying places, converging into pools of blood.
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, mixed with the choking smell of gunsmoke, not to mention how bad it smelled, but no one cared about it at this time, because the cavalry had already rushed to this death line at this time.
The musketeers, who had just defeated the infantry charge, did not even have time to take a breath, and then an even more brutal battle ensued, and they continued to reload their already hot muskets without stopping.
With the arrival of the cavalry, rows of muskets roared in unison again on the front of the Yu family's army, and rows of guns swept towards the battlefield again.
The cavalry who rushed to the front were like hitting an invisible wall in an instant, and suddenly they turned on their backs, and the wounded horses jumped up with a neighing and slammed into the ground, throwing the Jiannu or the Mongol cavalry on their backs out heavily.
Many cavalry caught off guard, heavy was used to the ground, when even if they were broken and broken, can no longer get up, these Jiannu cavalry, quite well-equipped, Tongguò for so many years and the Ming army continued to fight, continue to win, they captured a large number of armor from the Ming army, plus Jiannu itself also attaches great importance to the creation of armor, outside their Shengjing City, concentrated a large number of blacksmiths, day and night for them to build weapons and armor.
Therefore, Jiannu's cavalry is particularly well-equipped, basically everyone has armor, and even some Jiannu wear two layers of armor, and their protective ability is quite strong.
But at this time, the heavy armor on their bodies became a burden for them, and when their horses were overturned, they could only be used to the solid ground like sandbags, and they were broken on the spot, and they died directly.
Even if they were not killed, these heavily armored Jiannu cavalry were not easy to get up again after being fallen, not to mention that there were more cavalry behind them who were rushing desperately, and many Jiannu cavalry who were thrown off their horses didn't even have time to climb up, so they were directly knocked away by the follow-up cavalry, and then they were trampled under the horse's hooves and trampled to death on the battlefield.
