Chapter 20 That's All It Takes

After Yu Xiaotian's order was issued, the artillerymen began to raise the elevation angle of the artillery muzzle, and adopted a large elevation angle shooting method, although this will cause the lethality of solid shells to be reduced, but the artillerymen can no longer take care of so much at this time, anyway, they have an order not to kill and injure a large number of people in front, and in addition, they must find a way to drive these people towards the gap where the fourth brigade and the seventh brigade meet, as long as these people enter this gap, it is equivalent to escaping, and they will be driven to the rear of the front line, Received by the 1st Brigade.

Therefore, the artillerymen also got an order, that is, to find a way to use cannons to fire at the enemy's flanks, forcing the people to instinctively converge in the middle, and under the drive of the Jiannu army, until they were pressed into the gap between the two brigades, so that most of these civilians could be saved.

Yu Xiaotian did not dare to directly mobilize the cavalry battalion to rush out to intercept the Jiannu army and rescue these Ming people, he had a limited number of cavalry at hand, and among the cavalry of Jiannu, many of them were born on horseback, not to mention that there were many Mongolian cavalry, whether in terms of quantity or quality, the cavalry of the Yu family army was at an absolute disadvantage, if he did so, it was likely that the entire cavalry army would be filled in.

In that case, even if Yu Xiaotian saved these thousands of people, he would also lose the most elite cavalry troops, and the gains would really outweigh the losses.

That's why he came up with such a solution, whether it will work or not depends on the implementation of his orders by the officers below, and it also depends on whether these ordinary people will obediently follow his plan and finally escape into this gap.

This is already the most he can do, if things are not as he expected, the people are not squeezed into this gap, then he has no better way, he can only order to shoot indiscriminately, after all, the lives of his soldiers are worth more than the lives of these ordinary people.

Dolgon stopped in the middle of the army from a distance, sitting on horseback, with a cruel smile on his face, watching his soldiers drive the thousands of slaves and slowly march towards the defense line of the Yu family's army, and said in his heart, Isn't your surname Yu to make a reputation? Then I'll let you fish!

I will give you these thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty first, if you have the ability to rescue them, this king will not believe that you are reluctant to shoot these people, and if they serve as a meat shield for us, this king will not believe that you will not be able to break through your defense.

If Du Du is defeated, it is not necessarily that this king will also be defeated in your hands, and this king will depend on your surname Yu and your subordinates, how to deal with such a situation.

More than 10,000 Jiannu soldiers and horses, like wolves, drove thousands of Ming people in front, hiding behind these Ming people, and began to press towards the defense line of the Yu family's army.

The Jiannu soldiers thought viciously, aren't you sharp-armed firearms? Can armor piercing still go far? But your guns won't turn around! Lao Tzu is hiding behind your Ming people, can you still hit Lao Tzu? If you want to kill Lao Tzu, then you can kill all these Ming people first!

Therefore, they were very relieved, and constantly used the barrel of their guns or scabbards to whip the slow Ming people in front of them, and if anyone disobeyed slightly, tried to stop, or wanted to turn around and escape, these slave soldiers immediately stabbed them with spears, or slashed them on the spot with knives.

Many Ming people who were unwilling to serve as meat shields for Jiannu fell in a pool of blood on the way, becoming the soul of Jiannu's knife, under such persecution, many Ming people wept bitterly, and had to slowly drag heavy steps towards the defense line of the Yu family's army.

The soldiers and generals on the defense line of the Yujia army breathed fire one by one, looking at the scene in front of them, they all gritted their steel teeth with hatred, but they were helpless, they could only clench the weapons in their hands one by one, and watched these people being driven towards them by the Jiannu soldiers.

At this time, an officer in the army rushed to the front of the formation and shouted: "The top shooter immediately goes out of the queue and goes with Lao Tzu!" ”

The top marksmen among the musketeers immediately agreed, grabbed their wolf tooth rifles, and quickly marched out of the ranks, following the officer, walking briskly to the side of the line, and quickly lining up on the left and right sides of the line, and began to prepare for reloading and firing.

"You have heard Lao Tzu clearly, and after a while, you will aim at the slave soldiers on the two wings of the people and beat Lao Tzu hard! At the same time, you must also be careful not to let the people run in both directions, and if necessary, you must block them back in the middle position, which is really not possible, you must not show mercy to your men, and you can shoot some of the people who are running towards the wings! Did you hear it all?

The Lord has commanded that you must drive the people into the middle and force them to run towards the gap between our two brigades, and if they run to the gap in the middle, they will be saved! If anyone is soft-hearted, you will be killing more people! Do you remember it all? The officer spoke loudly to the top marksmen who had been drawn up.

As soon as these musketeers heard this, they roughly understood what the lord wanted to do, between their two brigades, there was a junction, this place could be said to be relatively loose, and it could be separated at any time, and their lord asked them to do this, they must have already arranged to rescue these people, so they just did it.

Then many of the musketeers immediately replied loudly: "Yes! Remember! (Understood)"

The Jiannu soldiers will follow behind a large number of Ming people very relieved, and some people are even giggling in the formation, holding spears, poking the people in front of them from time to time, taking pleasure in teasing these people, and stabbing and killing a slow people from time to time, as if this is the greatest pleasure in their lives.

The people kept crying, stumbling forward and moving their legs mechanically, since they were captured by Jiannu, until now they have not eaten a decent meal, their bodies are very weak, even if they want to walk fast, their legs are like being filled with lead, dead and heavy, every step they take, they have to consume a lot of body, and they have to bear huge psychological pressure.

They don't have any hope for themselves, before the two armies, they were coerced by Jiannu to impact the big array of the Yu family army, even if the Yu family army will be merciful, they will not be soft on them because they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, this is related to the lives of the people of the Yu family army, it is impossible for them to let Jiannu use their cover to break through the big array of the Yu family army because of their appearance.

So what awaits them next is death, whether they want to or not, they can't escape such a fate, many people have become numb at this time, like walking corpses forward with their legs, towards the end of their fate.

When Jiannu and these people gradually entered the distance of 400 steps in front of the Yu family's army, a roar sounded from the artillery position of the Yu family's army: "All cannons are ready to fire!" Check the ruler at the end! ”

The commander of each artillery piece hurriedly and carefully inspected their cannons, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately replied loudly: "The inspection is complete!" ”

The people were driven by Jiannu and slowly entered within a distance of 400 paces, until everyone completely entered the distance of 400 paces, and the roars of the officers suddenly sounded on the artillery positions on both wings of the Yujia army: "Open the cannon!" ”

The artillery positions in the two places were like volcanic eruptions in an instant, and the cannons suddenly trembled violently, and the muzzles of the guns spewed out clusters of flames in the air, and the huge recoil pushed the gun mounts, flying backwards, until all the recoil was canceled, and then stopped.

One after another, the cannonballs roared through the sky, and the blazing cannonballs pulled out smoke trails in the air, only smashing in the direction of the Jiannu army.

Due to the fierce artillery bombardment, a layer of floating soil shook the ground on the artillery position, which shrouded the artillery position like smoke and dust.

The rumbling cannon sound reached Dolgon's ears after a while, Dolgon was secretly frightened on the one hand, he didn't expect that this Yujia army actually had so many cannons, this firepower was so strong, he had only seen it in his life, even when he once attacked some forts outside the pass with his army, the Ming army, which was good at artillery, did not put so many cannons on the city.

But at the same time, the corners of his mouth also showed a sinister smile here, and he said in his heart that these Yu family soldiers still couldn't hold their breath after all, isn't this still a cannon in the end? Hit it, hit it! The people who are killed are all your Ming people, the more you kill, the better, see what the Ming people will say about you in the future!

But his excitement didn't last long, and he found that things didn't seem to develop according to the script he envisioned, and the cannonballs with smoke didn't seem to be as he thought, smashing heavily in the crowd of the Ming people, but over the heads of these Ming people, and directly smashed into the crowd of the Jiannu soldiers who were following the Ming people, and a blood mist rose in the Jiannu army formation that was smashed.

Dolgon's eyes are very good, it can definitely be called the pilot's vision, although the distance is very far, he still sees it very clearly, when he sees this scene, Dolgon's eyes almost fell out of his sockets, and his heart said mother! Is that okay? This gunner of the Yu family army is too fucking powerful! Unexpectedly, through the crowd, he could hit the people under him.

The Jiannu generals who originally followed the people were all very relieved, and they could even be said to be very relaxed, waiting to see the jokes of the Yu family army, but the sudden shelling blinded them, and dozens of round shells fell from the sky and smashed on their heads, although the parabola of these shells was high, and the probability of landing and ricocheting was not high, but even so, it made Jiannu pay some price in an instant.

There were a few unlucky Jiannu, who were directly hit on the top of their heads by cannonballs, and were smashed into rotten watermelons in an instant, and their bodies were also torn to pieces by the huge kinetic energy on the spot, and they flew in all directions.

is a good person, just in the blink of an eye, he is smashed into meat filling, and in the blink of an eye, it is gone, and it becomes a pile of rotten rotten meat that can no longer be rotten.

Such a scene is very impactful, making the surrounding Jiannu drunk and unstoppable, they screamed so cool, some people were so frightened that their legs were weak on the spot, and they peed on the crotch of their pants.

(I jumped out shirtless in the cold wind and shouted, "I want a monthly pass!") Brethren, who still has a monthly pass? ”)
