After looking around them, Huang Taiji frowned and said, "If there is no cavalry in the Ming Dynasty in the open area of ​​the plains, we can use one force to contain them head-on, and then make a large detour to hit their flanks or tails. The opponent's firearms must be

If used intensively, it cannot cope with such an attack."

Hearing this, Nuerhachi raised his head and looked at the entire battlefield. The terrain here was flat, but it was not open. The beach, Ningyuan Acropolis, the opponent's camp, and some hillsides were scattered in all directions.

This corridor is almost full.

A roundabout attack would not work here. Nuerhachi came to this conclusion immediately. Feeling a little disappointed, he refocused his attention on Huang Taiji and turned the Khan over again. Huang Taiji continued.

"The terrain here is special, and the opponent has the advantage of the location. We cannot go around or attack its flanks, so we can only charge frontally with cavalry."

"Can't we use infantry?" Hearing this, Daishan couldn't help but ask. The Jurchens were a fishing and hunting people, and his riding and shooting skills were not very good. He only relied on his physical strength and the hard bow to suppress him.

What the Mongols are really good at is heavy infantry charges.

The hard bow to clear the way and the heavy armor to charge are the Jurchen's invincible magic weapon. As for the cavalry, they are used to rush the road and attack the enemy's infantry formation, not for riding and shooting at all.

"With the power of the Ming army's firearms, heavy armor can't even be used to fight back with bows and arrows. The opponent has firearms and can fire continuously, but most people will lose the strength after firing a hard bow ten times.

Oh, this is such a disadvantage." Huang Taiji refuted Daishan's proposal without hesitation.

"In the face of such anger, we can only use cavalry to charge. Divide the cavalry into dozens of groups, each with a hundred men, and charge forward in a dispersed and continuous manner. This can dilute the power of Ming Dynasty firearms and allow the cavalry to get close. As long as the cavalry can get close,

body, after..."

Huang Taiji didn't finish what he said later, but everyone present understood that with the Ming people's poor hand-to-hand combat ability, as long as the Jurchen cavalry passed by, they could fight ten of them.

"Okay, let's use this method." Nuerhachi said excitedly, and then he immediately ordered each banner to allocate some troops to form a commando team. As for the leader of the team this time, he did not send Baylor.

, I really can’t afford to die.

But before they were ready, the Yulin Army took the lead in taking action. He saw that the main gate of Ningyuan Acropolis, which he thought was empty, opened, and some people came out one after another. Starting from the Jurchen side

I don't know who they are yet, but when a large number of people gather together, their expressions suddenly change.

"Damn it, it's the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty!" Listening to the faint sound of horses neighing in the wind, Huang Taiji looked grim. Why did the opponent hide the cavalry in the first place? What did he want to do by letting the cavalry come out now?

Huang Taiji glanced back and forth. Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a dark object at the head of Ningyuan Guard City. There were some soldiers there, and they seemed to be moving something away. As the thatch was lifted, Huang Taiji

Finally, I could see clearly what was placed at the top of the city.

A cannon is a cannon. Although it is not as huge as the red cannon, as long as it is a cannon, the Jurchens will fear and hate it very much.

"Why are there cannons there?" Huang Taiji asked in surprise. The fear in his heart made his face almost distorted, making him look like an evil ghost.

"No... I don't know!" Dai Shan also panicked. It was obviously the right time for me to come and I searched everything there, but there was nothing. Why did several cannons suddenly appear?

"No, run!" Huang Taiji exclaimed, got on his horse and ran back. The others were stunned for a moment, and then they realized they were within the opponent's range. At such a close distance, there was no need to aim at all.

It can hit here directly with one shot.

They have various flags and bags erected here, which are very eye-catching. As long as the Ming army is not blind, they will definitely make this the first target of attack.

"All troops, pull back!" Nuerhachi yelled and ran back first. No wonder they were so panicked. They had been confronting Xiong Tingbi for more than a year and had already experienced the power of the red cannon.

The heavy shells plowed a trail of blood in the crowd after hitting them. Faced with such a scene, the Jurchen warriors had no way to deal with it. They could only wait helplessly for fate to favor them and save their lives.

Although Nuerhachi didn't know the range of the cannon at the top of the city, the distance of 300 meters was definitely within the opponent's range. At such a close distance, he could definitely hit wherever he pointed.

"Damn it, damn it." Nuerhachi roared repeatedly, but even he himself didn't know what he was venting.

A cannon appeared at the top of the city, causing the Jurchen formations to move randomly. The entire Eight Banners cavalry was turning their horses and trying to stay away. However, the panic spread rapidly, causing the entire Jurchen Eight Banners to faintly lose control, and they were unable to move for a while.

"Everyone obey my command!" The first person to react was Huang Taiji. He roared repeatedly and even drew his sword and killed several tooth soldiers who were desperately fleeing before the entire army stabilized and evacuated in sequence.

However, it's too late.

Behind Zhu Youxiao's infantry phalanx, the barrel of the half-length twelve-pound cannon towered upward. The artilleryman was lifting the gun mount and constantly adjusting the angle. After a while, Xu Wen, who was staying here to command, came to report,

"Your Majesty, the elevation angles of the three artillery positions have been adjusted. Do you want to fire the artillery? Please give your instructions?"

"Let's fire!" Zhu Youxiao said leisurely.

"Yes!" Xu Wen responded loudly, and then asked the staff officer beside him to give the order. The staff officer waved the flag in his hand and gave the order to fire.

"fire!"

The commanders of the three positions shouted, and following their orders, the artillerymen used torches to light the shallow match ropes inserted at the ends of the cannons.

laugh!

The match rope quickly ignited and then ignited the gunpowder in the barrel.

boom!

It was as if the whole world was shaken, and countless roaring sounds sounded at the same time, gathering together, giving people a great shock. Hundreds of black spots appeared in the air at the same time, crossing a beautiful parabola, and landed on the Jurchens' position.

among

Bang bang bang!

The thick projectile landed on the hard ground, but then began to bounce. This is what scares people the most about solid projectiles. No one knows where it will land next, nor what will happen to it after it hits the ground.

What kind of force will it bounce from there? Everyone can only wait blankly and pray for God's blessing.

Countless bloodstains were plowed through the Jurchen, and broken limbs were flying everywhere. In some cases, they were cut off at the waist and turned into two sections.
