Chapter 31: The Decisive Battle 2

However, there were still many shells that landed accurately in front of the enemy array, and the drought and because of the cold, the ground was frozen to a porcelain solid, which provided a good help to these solid shells, and the shells were immediately re-bounced by the solid ground, and continued to maintain a huge kinetic energy to fly forward until they crashed headlong into the enemy array.

This time, Jiannu used a large number of oars, forming a three-layer array in front of the formation, and a large number of Jiannu soldiers hid behind the oars and slowly pushed the rooks forward.

Once the shells hit the ground, they bounced into their array, opening holes in their seemingly intact line.

Although the cart has a pretty good effect on blocking bows and arrows and guns, it is nothing at all in front of these solid shells weighing about ten pounds.

As long as the cannonball hits the rook, no matter what part it is, the huge kinetic energy will be transmitted to the rook instantly, how can these simple robe structures withstand such a heavy blow, so as long as it is touched, the shoddy rook will collapse immediately, and even the wood on the car will show an explosive state, and immediately scatter in all directions.

The Jiannu or Baoyi slaves who pushed the cart were even more miserable, and the cart that was hit by the shells would instantly transmit a huge impact force to them, and the people who pushed the cart on the spot would have their arms broken, and even their internal organs would be shattered, and they would vomit blood and fall to the ground to death.

Even if it is a fluke that is not hit on the spot, but the scattered wood, it is still a fatal thing, as long as it is hit, the tendons will be broken and fractured, and the heavy will be killed on the spot, especially the smashed wood chips, some of which are very sharp, and even can pierce the human body on the spot, so after suffering a fierce shelling, Jiannu's lug array suddenly appeared one after another gaps, and the gap immediately fell around a dead and wounded Jiannu general.

"Don't stop! Speed up and rush over! If you don't get the former, those who retreat without permission will be killed! Rush! Accelerate and rush forward! Push! You should hurry up and push it! ……”

A Jiannu general, brandishing a spear in his hand, frantically whipped the Han soldiers and clothed slaves within his reach, and even directly stabbed a few frightened Minzhuang who wanted to turn around and flee, screaming hysterically in the formation.

Now that the decisive battle is now, even if the artillery fire of the Yu family army is much more fierce than before, now they have no way to retreat! If they hadn't pushed the cart in front of the enemy and been routed by enemy artillery fire here, then today's battle would have doomed them to failure.

This Jiannu army will have a little vision, and the grasp of the battlefield situation is quite accurate, knowing that these turrets are very important for whether they can defeat the opposite Yujia army next, even if they are dead, they must transport some intact turrets to the front of the enemy formation, and cover their cavalry and follow-up soldiers and horses to use these turrets to attack the home army's formation, otherwise under the volcanic eruption of the home army, no matter how many soldiers and horses they have, they will not be able to rush to the front of the enemy formation.

Under the desperate supervision of these Jiannu generals, these Han soldiers and wrappers who were used as cannon fodder had no choice but to continue to urge those people with infinite fear, forcing them to use their strength to push these carriages forward.

At this time, the Jiannu front was not as neat as just now, and the carriages in many places had been destroyed on the spot, and after the shelling began, the Jiannu queue, which was originally moving slowly forward, was stimulated by the shelling, and accelerated towards the Yujia army front under the coercion of the Jiannu generals.

But more than a thousand meters is a distance of one kilometer, even if they accelerate and want to rush to the front of the Yu family's army, it is not a very short process, even if the Han soldiers and Baoyi who push the cart use their strength to push the cart, on such a land road, these heavy carts can catch up with the speed of normal walking at most, even if they do their best.

In this way, it would take them at least twenty minutes to push the cart in front of the Yu Jiajun's formation, and they would also have to cross the blockade line of 200 to 300 meters of rifle fire.

Yu Jiajun can calculate this account, but Jiannu can't calculate it, they only know that Yu Jiajun is fast in artillery, but they have never made it clear how fast Yu Jiajun can fire.

They really have no better way to deal with the sharp artillery fire of the Yu family army now, and they can only sacrifice such a method, even if they fight to the end, they have to push part of the cart in front of the Yu family army, so as to provide some protection for the follow-up soldiers and horses to assault the enemy formation.

This is the death order given by Dolgon to these Jiannu generals who went to battle with the army and was responsible for supervising the battle before ordering them to fight, so at this time, these Jiannu generals who were ordered to act were all red-eyed, regardless of persecuting these people, Baoyi, and Han soldiers, and rushed towards the front desperately.

As soon as the artillery of the Yu family army rang out, it couldn't stop anymore, Yu Xiaotian just said clearly, they were allowed to build vigorously, with this order, what did the artillery care about? As long as you don't blow up the cannon, then there is nothing to take care of.

So the artillerymen, each of them screamed and began to operate their artillery, and launched the most ferocious artillery bombardment.

Rounds of artillery shells, like hail, smashed into the enemy array, tearing the carts to pieces, including those who pushed the carts, also killed and wounded, although this killed and injured many people who were forced to help Jiannu fight, but at this time no one could save them, the mercy to them is the cruelty to the army itself, so no one pays attention to the fate of these people at this time.

On the road of Jiannu's advance, there were bomb craters and scattered wreckage of the carts, and there were also killed and wounded people, and the battlefield was full of terrible screams, and the wounded slave soldiers and people were strong, lying on the ground whining and wailing, constantly asking for help from the people who passed by.

But the Jiannu who followed behind completely ignored these wounded, their faces were numb, like a group of zombies, following the carriage in front of them, passing by them, some Jiannu were annoyed by the noise of these wounded, and looked down at the words of Minzhuang, so they simply made up for them and killed them directly.

At this time, the people on the battlefield have completely lost their humanity, and they have all returned to their primitive instincts, not to mention that these Jiannu are not human beings in the first place, and it is more appropriate to call them fierce beasts, so it is better to pray for their mercy than to pray for God to have more hope.

These Jiannu Tartars, who have lived in the bitter cold of Liaodong for many years, have long developed their habit of ignoring life, and for the people in the Guannei, in their eyes, they are just some raw mouths, and they can be caught back as two-legged animals that can be used as coated slaves!

The long-term hardship of life, so that they become extremely greedy, before there was no courage and no opportunity, now with the rise of Jiannu, they finally obtained this ability, can swing into the customs to plunder, the wealth of the Ming people in the pass, especially those landlords and rich people lived, so that they feel extremely jealous, so when they have the opportunity to rob, they burst out of the darkest side of their hearts, which is also the reason why they entered the customs, indiscriminately killing and robbing without scruples.

In their eyes, killing a Han Chinese is like killing a chicken, without a sense of burden or guilt, who allows these Han people to occupy a more comfortable place than the land they live in outside the Guan?

Therefore, after these Jiannu entered the customs, they showed their cruelty and ruthlessness, which was chilling, which was also the reason why the people in the customs were afraid of them.

But now things seem to be reversed, these Jiannu who have always been arrogant, at this time they have become the target of slaughter, round after round of artillery salvos, the cannonballs are smashed into the Jiannu formation like hail, many shells are in the Jiannu formation, opening a bloody alley, the Jiannu soldiers will be scattered, corpses are everywhere.

Originally, the Jiannu Formation, which looked quite strong, had not yet approached the distance of five hundred meters in front of the Yu family's army, and had been ploughed by the Yu family's artillery shells, I don't know how many people had been killed and injured by the shells, and the rest of the people were already frightened at this time, and the timid ones even rushed out of the crotch of their pants with a stream of heat, making them wet between their legs.

And the hundreds of rows and carts that they have finally pieced together in the past few days have also been beaten scattered at this time, and they have long been unable to see any arrays, and they are scattered on the battlefield.

Dolgon only felt that the bruises on his head were jumping, and he scolded Yu Xiaotian in his heart for being too cunning, and he actually hid so much strength and so many cannons, so that as soon as he made a move, he was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

But at this time, even if he knew that he was yin, there was no way, at this time he had no other choice, except to continue to fight with the enemy, as long as he dared to order a retreat at this time, the Yu family army would immediately wave his army to cover up, then he would lose this battle if he was undefeated.

Dolgon kept shouting and beating drums to give orders, ordering the soldiers in front of him to continue to push the cart forward, so as to push the cart in front of the Yujia army and provide cover for the follow-up soldiers and horses.

However, it is easier said than done, the previous artillery bombardment of the family army was a rough aiming method, and did not pursue excessive accuracy, only need to fire the shells in front of the enemy or in the formation, as for what to hit is up to luck, thousands of meters away, want them to use this smoothbore gun to accurately shoot a car, it is simply difficult for a strong man, so they take a rough aiming method.
