Volume 4 Wants to Compare West Lake to Xizi Chapter 322 Shenji Battalion

When the Ming army entered the position, a war that decided the fate of the two nations began.

30,000 fierce Warat cavalry, roaring down from the high mountains and mountains of Hulan suddenly out of temperature, they rode the wind, with electricity, deducing the most terrifying impact in the world, even if it is no longer the glory of the year, they are still the most powerful cavalry troops in the world, and at this moment occupy the time, place, and people, and the victory will definitely belong to them, at least Mahamu thinks so.

What surprised Ma Hamu even more was that he was surprised to find that the Ming army was not led by some jīng cavalry, but by some infantry...... Everyone knows that only cavalry can resist cavalry, especially in front of this kind of cavalry group that swoops down, the other arms are like paper paste, even the so-called car formation.

No matter what the reason, this is God help me, Mahamu looked at the Warat cavalry all over the mountains, and pounced on the Ming army under the mountain with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, as if he had seen the scene of the Ming army's defeat.

However, just after the Wara cavalry charged, the Ming army's formation suddenly changed, and the infantry responsible for luring the enemy down the mountain quickly turned around, exiting the battlefield from both flanks, and giving way to the zhōngyāng area of the battlefield.

The real opponent of the Warat cavalry quickly rushed forward from the middle army and quickly replenished the front army to make up for the vacant position.

This army was different from other armies of the Ming Dynasty, and the standard weapons in their hands were not sabers, bows and arrows, or spears, but infantry firecrackers, thunderbolts, and multi-barreled firecrackers mounted on vehicles, 200 Dalian bead cannons, and 160 powerful field heavy artillery, General Zhankou.

The reason why the Ming army's marching speed is so slow is because of the drag of this army, but no one has any complaints, because this is their Ming magic weapon - the Shenji Battalion!

This is the first pure firearms unit in the world, commanded by Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, and is the core combat force of the Ming Dynasty - ranking first among the three major battalions of the Ming Dynasty. Each soldier was carefully selected and had the same qualities as their commanders—tenacious, calm, and fearless.

In the face of the overwhelming and imminent arrival of the Warat cavalry, they did not panic, set up the formation in the fastest time, aimed their guns at the enemy, and waited for the order to fire.

Liu Sheng didn't need to mobilize the soldiers at all, he was not afraid of sacrifice and couldn't retreat. Because the soldiers all saw the fierce dragon flag, and saw their emperor's majesty, they stood not far behind them

What else in this world can inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers more than the emperor coming to the front line?

The Warat cavalry didn't care about the change of the Ming army's formation, and still rushed towards the Ming army.

Mahamu on the high mountain also saw the change, and recognized it at a glance, this was the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion, but he clenched his teeth and did not make a sound, because there was no turning back arrow when he opened his bow - they had no second choice but to rush up and crush the enemy.

When the two sides were fifty zhang apart, Liu Shengfang shouted violently, and one hundred and sixty Zhankou generals roared in unison, and the sound of artillery was so huge that it completely covered up the sound of thousands of horses galloping.

Shells roared out, so close to the distance, completely smashed straight into the enemy formation, but all those who were swept by the shells, all of them turned on their backs, if they were unfortunate enough to hit the target, they were broken by horses, and the scene of flesh and blood flying was very terrifying.

After all, the number of cannons is limited, and the vast majority of the Warat cavalry still galloped wildly, rushing to within 30 zhang, and 200 Dalian Zhu cannons opened fire, and the gunfire was not as amazing as the sound of the cannons, but the projectiles were more dense, and the number of people who were shot and fell off their horses was more

At this time, the deadliest blow came, after the Warat cavalry entered the shè process, the shè hands of the Shenji battalion fired ten thousand guns, this time the bullet rain was too dense, and the Wara cavalry fell in pieces...... Those who fell were trampled into mud by the cavalry behind them, and for a time the people on the battlefield turned on their backs, which was extremely tragic.

On the high mountain, Mahamu's blood poured his pupils and his eyes cracked, and he never imagined that the earth-shattering battle planned by his heart would be the first to be hit head-on.

But his belief in victory remained unshaken, because he knew that the most fatal weakness of the Dao Shenji Battalion was that it took time to reload the gunpowder and projectiles every time the firecracker was fired, and this was not a short time enough for the Warat cavalry to rush in front of them.

Sure enough, after one Qi shè, the dense gunfire on the battlefield disappeared. "Yes, that's it, rush," Mahamu clenched his fists tightly and roared.

Although the Warat cavalry could not hear the voice of the leader, they could hear the sound of gunfire, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that as long as they rushed into the Ming army's formation, those firecrackers were lambs to be slaughtered.

With red eyes and howling, they spurred their horses and swooped down on the divine machine less than thirty feet away.

The earth-shattering sound of guns and cannons reached the Chinese army, and Zhu Zhanji was restless, scratching his ears and cheeks. The military strength of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and some of them were Jīng Rui's divisions, so naturally they didn't need his young army to fight. Zhu Di brought him here, but it was just a long insight, of course, in order to take care of his face, the emperor also wrote the duty of the young army in the will to assign the task - to guard the camp of the Chinese army.

Guarding the Chinese army camp sounds like a heavy responsibility. But the emperor has gone to the front, what else is there to wait for in this big battalion? This can suffocate Zhu Zhanji, who is full of martial arts and full of strategy, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. He Li Qian and Wang Xian climbed the watchtower temporarily erected by the camp, and they could really have a full view of the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing the Shenji Battalion's might, Zhu Zhanji danced excitedly, and when he heard the sound of the gunshot, his nervous palms were sweating, "Can Qianguo Gong's method work?" ”

"It will definitely work" Wang Xian nodded heavily, and before the words fell, he heard the dense gunfire again, and he said excitedly: "Here, three strikes"

On the battlefield, before the Warat cavalry could break out a few feet, they were again under heavy fire, this time because of the closer, and the losses were greater. But what's worse is that their fighting spirit has been severely hit, and they are completely confused...... Doesn't it mean that the next shot will take a long time?

The war horses galloped, not giving them time to think at all, and in the blink of an eye, they were within twenty zhang, and the third wave of the Ming army was also coming. There is no doubt that the losses of the Warat cavalry were greater this time...... Before many people died, they finally saw how the Ming army managed to strike continuously.

I saw that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were divided into three rows, the first line took the lying shè, the second row took the kneeling shè, and the third row stood shè and struck. After the enemy enters the shè process, the first row will fire the shè fire first, and then the second and third rows will be shè shots in turn. In the second and third rows of shè strikes, the shè hand of the first row can calmly load the ammunition for the next shè shot, and when the third and first row shè hit, the shè hand of the second row can calmly load the ammunition, so that the three rows take turns shè to hit, almost without stopping, which can overcome the weakness of the slow speed of the fire gun and greatly enhance the power of the Shenji battalion

At that time, Mu Ying, the Duke of Qianguo, used this method to break the elephant array of the barbarians in Yunnan, and after the victory, he wrote a chapter to describe his tactics in detail, which attracted Zhu Di's attention, and ordered the Shenji Battalion to study and improve, forming a very perfect three-stage shè attack method.

The distance of only fifty zhang was insignificant for the cavalry. However, under the artillery and fire of the Shenji battalion, the casualties caused were as high as 2,000, and the number of enemies killed was still second, and the key was to hold down the momentum of the Warat cavalry.

Under extreme shock and panic, the momentum of the Warat cavalry stalled. This stagnation has made their majesty from the mountains no longer exist......

On the ever-changing battlefield, sometimes just this change, it is possible to turn the victory and defeat of the Ming cavalry on both wings, and really took the opportunity to launch a flank attack on the enemy, on the right is the Longxiang army led by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and on the left is the five military battalions led by Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng, two heavy cavalry in armor and armor, which slammed into the waist of the Wara cavalry.

The Wara cavalry was in a dilemma, and if they continued to move forward, they were in danger of being cut off by the Ming army, and they would continue to eat the guns of the Shenji battalion when they met the enemy on both wings.

Soon they didn't have to hesitate, because in the next moment, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion withdrew from the battlefield from both flanks, and the most sharp cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, the 3,000 Battalion, under the leadership of Zhu Di, brandished their sabers and rushed towards the enemy soldiers.

This is the emperor taking the lead in the charge, the ninety-five of the Ming Dynasty, now he actually picked up a knife, charged with ordinary soldiers, and took the lead and rushed to the forefront. The emperor made such an example, where is there anyone who does not work hard? The cavalry of the 3,000 battalions fought bravely to take the lead, like a fierce tiger pounced on the enemy, and the two sides fought to the death on the steppe of Hulan and the sudden loss of temperature.

This is much more brutal than the one-sided massacre of Fang Cai. In the neighing and jumping of the war horses, the fierce Warat cavalry, and the Ming Dynasty cavalry roared, while frantically waving weapons to fight to the death, the Mongolian soldiers were naturally scimitarous sabers in their hands, but the Ming army was a mace in the hands of Qing Yisè. This is Zhu Di's experience in the war...... He found that in high-speed cavalry duels, the mace side had the upper hand. Because the saber has only one edge, the mace is a large iron stone full of spikes, and no matter which part hits the opponent, the hand and foot will be broken, and blood will splash......

Although the Wara cavalry burst out with infinite combat effectiveness in a desperate situation, the sabers flew, and they could cut off the skulls of the Ming soldiers at once, but they lost their most valuable impact under the blow of the Shenji battalion, and now they were attacked by the Ming army on three sides, among which the Ming army on the front turned out to be the same Mongolian cavalry as them, and they were even braver than them, which made them feel desperate......

After paying a lot of price, the cavalry of the three-way Ming army finally firmly blocked the Wara cavalry, and once the Wara cavalry lost its maneuver, the strength advantage of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly revealed. Tens of thousands of infantry troops on each side have been outflanked, and they are about to completely surround the Warat cavalry.
