Chapter 661 Battle of Daling River (2)(2/2)

But Baiyintu felt that the Ming army in front of him seemed more dangerous than the Baigan soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers.

"Kill, if we can capture the pontoon bridge, I will carry the flag for all the captains and bannermen in today's battle. The others will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver. In addition, I will also reward the Akito woman..."

In order to boost the morale of the cannon fodder under his command, Baiyintu directly painted a pie for them...

Not to mention, the pie was painted very successfully. When the big and small bosses conveyed the orders of the flag master, the morale of the more than 8,000 cannon fodder in front of the formation was greatly boosted.

Some of them were carrying weapons, some were pushing shield carts, some were holding bows and arrows, and seven to eight thousand people rushed toward the Shenwu Army formation with strange screams.

Zhu Cixiang, who was on the chariot command post, saw that the people rushing up were all cannon fodder, so he directly gave Qi Guangan the order to bombard him.

"Qi Guang'an, those who rush into the battle are all slave cannon fodder. The Royal Artillery rescues them to satisfy their desire to be cannon fodder. Prepare to fire!"

"According to the order!"

Qi Guang'an, commander of the Royal Artillery Battalion, took the order and immediately returned to the artillery camp to direct the battle.

This place is about three miles away from the Qing army's formation, and more than two hundred steps ahead, the relatively flat wilderness slowly disappears.

They are basically wheat field ridges, sparse forest hills, and the ground is uneven, and this range of terrain continues to spread forward.

This also caused trouble for the Qing soldiers to rush into battle. When marching like this, the shield chariots could only move forward slowly, and people could not run fast...

Of course, it is possible to use a large amount of manpower and push the shield car forward, but it is inevitable to go back and forth faster or slower.

The infantry rushing into the formation cannot stop and wait, cannot march at the same time, and protect the front of the formation. The existence of those shield vehicles is meaningless.

If they use infantry to attack and fight against guns and artillery, it will be equivalent to target practice, because they can't even push the shield truck in.

When they started charging, the cannon fodders screamed loudly, and soon their charging pace began to slow down.

The artillery battalion of the Shenwu Army, with more than 200 artillery pieces and 2,000 artillery battalion soldiers, was arrayed in the main army formation.

The gunners quickly retracted to the two wings, and the artillery array in a square formation was exposed. The artillery quickly loaded the shells and immediately fired at the Qing troops.

"Rumble..."

There was a thunderous sound of artillery, a roaring sound, and large plumes of white smoke rising. The artillery of the Royal Artillery Battalion took turns to spray fierce flames forward.

At this time, the eight thousand Qing soldiers were still marching forward. Whether they could withstand the artillery fire, both sides were waiting to see.

The weeds are ankle deep, and the high and low fields are full of weeds and wheat residue. This area was basically farmland, but due to the topography, the fields cannot be gathered in large areas, and they appear fragmented and loose, and there are many ridges.

A chilling whistling sound came closer, and with a loud bang, iron bullets weighing more than a kilogram hit the ground dozens of steps in front of the Qing soldiers, setting off large clouds of black mud and

The grass was in a mess, but the cannon did not jump.

The artillery roared, and more and more shells were fired. Due to the terrain, some shells hit the fields, but most of them had difficulty jumping or did not roll long distance.

In the first round of bombardment, although half of the artillery shells hit the Qing army, the casualties caused to the Qing soldiers were not as many as expected... I like the Ming Dynasty, and the heyday began with the prince supervising the country. Please collect it: (www.sodu777.
