Chapter 988: The First Battle of Jingying (2)
However, Azig will not be frightened by such a point of artillery, and the Manchurian elite cavalry will not either, although the artillery is powerful, but after all, the rate of fire is too slow, such a close distance, at most the artillery will fire three waves, three waves, even if each shell is five people, it is only hundreds of casualties, and he still has more than 9,000 people, as long as he rushes to the front of the Beijing camp, he is definitely not the opponent of the Manchurian elite cavalry, Azig has absolute self-confidence, after all, this is only the Beijing camp, not the three towns of Nanjing, let alone the Tianwei army, The combat power is far from the same.
"Command, keep charging, charge with all your might, as long as you rush within three hundred steps, their artillery will be completely shattered!"
Azig commanded.
The 10,000 elite cavalry roared and continued to launch a fierce attack, constantly approaching the army of the Beijing camp, and soon they had already hit the place less than three miles away from the Beijing camp.
"Rocket battalion, prepare to attack!"
Today's Zhu Jie is still at the forefront of the Beijing camp, but the one who gave the order has been replaced by Xia Wanchun, who is the proud disciple of today's saint, with a high prestige in the Beijing camp, only sixteen or seventeen years old, he has already been so favored by the emperor, and his future achievements are limitless.
The rocket battalion that got the order, and the artillery battalion began the attack together, a rocket fired towards the Manchurian elite cavalry, now the red artillery of the Beijing battalion is mainly Western artillery, most of them are solid shells, the threat to the cavalry is not as big as imagined, but, the threat of artillery is not big, it does not mean that the threat of the rocket is not big, the artillery does not fire a round in three minutes, but the rocket only needs more than a minute, and it is a weapon for killing people and setting fire, especially against the cavalry, all the animals in the world are afraid of fire, Even the most sophisticated war horses are also unavoidable, a rocket with a huge danger of falling into the cavalry's array, the tail flame alone brings a huge threat to the cavalry, as long as it is swept by the tail flame, it will definitely be burned to the flesh.
The most important thing is that once the rocket lands, it will set off to seal the letter, explode directly, and within two feet of defense, all will be shrouded by the explosion, which is the most fatal!
The rocket fell into the array of cavalry with a sharp whistling sound, this time, the Manchurian elite cavalry was in chaos, encountering explosions and flames, even the Manchurian elite cavalry was proficient in riding and archery one by one could not fully control the sitting war horse, the frightened war horse began to rampage, the Manchurian elite cavalry's rapid assault was contained, and the speed that became famous was lost!
Azig in the back felt a pain in his heart, specially, if it was just an artillery attack, then his cavalry would still be able to withstand it, and even rush over directly to attack the Jingying army, but now Zhu Jie has so many rockets that are so strange to the extreme, fire, the strikers of the Manchurian elite cavalry have been chaotic, and the casualties of the Manchurian elite cavalry this time are definitely not small!
However, until now, Azig still doesn't want to give up halfway, anyway, hundreds of people have been killed and wounded, if the army is withdrawn now, then these people will be lost in vain, it is better to have a decisive battle with Zhu Jie, Zhu Jie is Zhu Jie after all, if you want to defeat him or even kill him, how can you do it without paying a huge price?
Or even if you put 10,000 fine riders into it, and you can exchange it for Zhu Jie's death, it will definitely be earned, and it will be a lot of money, without Zhu Jie, it will be easy to win the entire Daming country!
"Order, continue to attack, whoever can take Zhu Jie's head, seal Baylor, reward 100,000 taels of gold, and upgrade to three levels!"
Azig roared directly.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, not to mention, just 100,000 taels of gold, that is a million taels of silver, enough for future generations to enjoy for hundreds of years!
The Manchurian elite cavalry was originally not afraid of death, but now that they have received the promise of Azig, the impact is even more crazy, braving the artillery and rockets of the Beijing army, and rushing towards the Beijing army even more frantically.
Three miles!
Two miles!
One mile!
After a difficult sprint, the vanguard of the Manchurian elite cavalry finally rushed to within a mile and continued to charge forward!
In this short period of half an hour, the casualties of the Manchurian elite cavalry have approached a thousand, such casualties are really not small, however, the gate of the Shura hell has just opened, and the attack just now is just an appetizer for the Manchurian elite cavalry, waiting for them is one feast after another!
Keep moving forward!
By the interval of artillery bombardment, the Manchurian elite cavalry once again advanced two or three hundred steps away, and now it is only three hundred steps away from the Beijing army, the front two forward elite cavalry, one by one eyes are sprayed with greedy and enthusiastic light, Zhu Jie, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is in front of him, the distance is only three hundred steps, as long as he enters the distance of a hundred steps, when the time comes, the arrows will be fired together, no matter how powerful he is, he will be shot into a hedgehog!
Zhu Jie used to shock Manchuria, however, it was only circulated among the high-level or generals in Manchuria, this guy was mysterious, and Ao Bai did it back then, whether he lost to Ao Bai in cavalry and archery, but his fists and feet won Ao Bai, that is the first warrior in Manchuria, and he can be equal to the first warrior of Manchuria, naturally he is deeply impressed among the generals of Manchuria, but it is only among the high-level generals of Manchuria, where do these ordinary cavalrymen below know Zhu Jie's might, in their opinion, Zhu Jie is just a plate of bean sprouts, as long as he enters within 100 steps and takes off Zhu Jie's head, it is as easy as a snap, and there are few successful emperors in the Ming Dynasty.
However, this time the cavalry of the Manchurian elite cavalry thought badly, and soon, the cavalry forwards had advanced to a distance of two hundred and fifty paces, and continued to advance forward, at this time, the artillery of the Beijing camp army had completely lost its effect, after all, the shortest range of the shells was also three hundred paces.
The jujube lance in Xia Wanchun's hand was already sweating.
"Order, the musket battalion is attacking!"
The 4,000 musket battalions have now all been mobilized to the frontal position, arranged in a good posture one by one, a full five rows, lined up, and on the battlefield, a full distance of three miles has been dispatched, which can be said to protect the Beijing camp from wind and rain!
"Bang ......"
Yes, the arquebus in the hands of the musket battalion is inferior to the flintlock musket in terms of range, power, and rate of fire, but it does not mean that it is inferior to the bow and arrow, and the effective range of the arquebus is also more than 150 meters, and even 200 meters away can cause damage to people!
Now the four thousand musketeers have begun a crazy design, five rows of shots in turn, and the entire battlefield is blocked by crazy bullets, this is Zhu Jie's most powerful reliance, four thousand musketeers, has exceeded the number of three Tianwei army musket battalions, even if the Manchurian elite is strong, in the face of such a powerful rifle firepower, it can only return with a feather!
