Chapter 671 Car Formation

In order to facilitate the march, Duduo and Kong Youde only carried dozens of small artillery pieces when they retreated, and did not carry the red cannon. Carrying those things would delay their escape.

Pei Guozhen, the leader of the Han army, heard that Kong Youde asked him to lead two thousand Han troops to test the firepower of the Ming army. The boy was a little panicked. There must be gunmen in the Ming army's chariot formation. What's the use of the infantry?

He knew that Duduo attached great importance to the Fire Gun Soldiers, and for some reason he still let the Han army die. He glanced at Prince Yu secretly, and then said to Kong Youde:

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the cavalry charge? It will be easier for them to retreat. The two thousand Han troops are all firecrackers and are not suitable for charging..."

Kong Youde knew that there must be a large number of gunmen behind the Ming army's carriage, and he was reluctant to let the Han army rush to the formation, but he could not disobey Duduo's order.

In the past, Kong Youde would have immediately ordered the Han army to charge into battle without saying a word, but the situation is different now. He and Duoduo have a very good relationship.

He handed over to Dodo and said:

"Your Majesty, what Pei Guozhen said makes sense, do you think?"

In fact, Duduo was not willing to let the carefully trained fire gun soldiers go into battle. He was mainly worried that the Mongols would be disobedient, so he let the Han army go up.

Duduo knew the nature of the Mongols very well. The Mongols had no loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. They fought with the Eight Banners of the Slavery just to gain benefits.

In recent years, the Ming army has been weak, and only the Mongols dare to fight. Once the Ming army becomes stronger than the Qing Dynasty, these Mongols are likely to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing what Kong Youde said, he immediately said to the Mongolian army Gushan Ezhen with the white banner:

"The Han army is actually not suitable for charging into the battle. Lord Legend, let the Mongolian army go. I will never treat you badly after the war."

Originally, the Han army was sent to attack, but because of Kong Youde's words, the Mongolian army was now sent to charge. Tu Shi felt very unhappy.

However, he also knew that cavalry was more suitable for rushing into battle and could retreat quickly if they were defeated. Also, seeing that the Ming army had so many grain trucks, he wanted to share more benefits, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay, immediately order the three thousand Mongolian troops to charge into battle..."

After Illustration finished speaking, he turned back to the Mongolian Army Jia La and said:

"Immediately lead three thousand warriors into battle. Remember, they will retreat immediately if they encounter a volley of artillery and musketry from the Ming army."

"Got the order!"

The Mongolian Army's Jia Laer Zhenhas waved his hand to the Mongolian cavalry behind him, and personally led three thousand cavalry towards the circular formation composed of the Ming Army's grain trucks.

Mao Yuanyi was sitting in the middle of the Ming army's car camp and commanding. When he saw the Mongolian cavalry taking the lead in charging, he did not order the artillery to fire. His artillery was used to deal with the Jiannu Xiangbai flag.

"Attention, soldiers of the Leopard Battalion, place the Mongolian cavalry at eighty paces before attacking. The heavy troops can fire at will..."

"Here!"

Mao Yuanyi gave an order, and the fire gunmen of the Shenwu Army Leopard Camp immediately put the fire guns on the carriage, ready to shoot the Mongolian cavalry at any time.

However, the soldiers in the baggage train were allowed to shoot at will. Mao Yuanyi allowed the baggage train to fire muskets at will, mainly to confuse the Mongols and give them the illusion that the Ming army's artillery troops would be defeated in one blow...

"Da da da……"

When the Mongolian Army Jia La was still about 500 steps away from the Ming Army's carriage camp, he had already ordered his men to prepare for archery.

Although the Ming army's gunners were blocked by four-wheeled carriages, which prevented the Mongolian cavalry from rushing directly into the formation, it did not affect their ability to shoot arrows towards the carriage camp.

You must know that the Mongolian volleys are the best in the world. Although they are not as powerful as Genghis Khan's time, they should not have any problem in dealing with the Ming army's heavy troops.

"Bang bang..."

He had just rushed two hundred paces when sporadic firecrackers suddenly sounded from behind the carriage. It was obvious that the Ming army could not withstand the pressure of the Mongolian cavalry and opened fire in advance.

But what's the use of firing from a distance of two hundred steps? Even the artillery array of the National Defense Army didn't start firing until they entered about one hundred and twenty steps.

"puff……"

Just when the Mongolian Army Jia La secretly laughed at the Ming Army's artillery soldiers, a Mongolian soldier beside him suddenly fell off his horse, which immediately frightened the Mongolian Army Jia La:

"How is this possible? Two hundred steps can kill cavalry. Is it possible that the Ming army's muskets have such a long range?"

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly, there was another messy sound of firecrackers behind the Ming army's chariot formation, but this time no one was hit and fell off their horses. The Mongolian army leader couldn't help laughing:

"They're all fooled. The Ming army's artillery can't hit two hundred steps at all..."

Before the laughter ended, one of his soldiers was shot and killed again...

"Quick, speed up the charge!"

Occasionally someone under his command was shot, but the Mongolian Army Jia La did not take it seriously and instead ordered the Mongolian cavalry to speed up the charge.

The two heavy soldiers in the Erming Army's formation who fired cannons at the Mongolian army were very happy. They kept shooting at the Mongolian army, but it was difficult to hit the Mongolian army again.

They usually train with volleys. It is obviously unrealistic to use them as snipers. It is difficult to kill the Mongolian army at a distance of two hundred steps.

One hundred and fifty steps!

One hundred and twenty steps!

About a hundred steps

"Raise your gun and aim at the slaves!"

"Fire..."

When the Mongolian cavalry entered around 98, Mao Yuanyi gave an order, and the Leopard Camp fire gunner standing behind the four-wheeled carriage did not hesitate to pull the trigger:

"Bang bang bang..."

A burst of gunfire rang out, and a thousand mini bullets shot out. The Mongolian cavalry rushing in front immediately splashed with clouds of blood mist, and soon fell down one or two hundred people...

"Bang bang bang..."

Under the personal command of Mao Yuanyi, the gunmen of the Ming Army kept firing continuously. The Mongolian cavalry who rushed in front fell down in rows. Some of them were killed by mini bullets, and some of their horses were hit by mini bullets. There was a sudden chaos...

Just after charging eighty steps, the Mongolian cavalry fell at least nearly 500 people. You must know that the battle only started for about three minutes. The ferocity of the Ming army's gunfire frightened the Mongolian army. Jia La immediately ordered the Mongolian cavalry to retreat.

Three thousand Mongolian troops immediately turned their horses and ran back. In the process of escaping, more than a hundred Mongolian troops were killed...

Duduo saw that the Mongolian army had just rushed into the firing range of the Ming army and caused

"The Ming army is really powerful. A single transport team can severely damage the Mongolian army. Today, it is not easy to cut off the Ming army's food route and reduce the pressure of the Battle of Rufeng Mountain..."

Seeing Mongolia falling off their horses one after another, Duduo shook his head speechlessly:

"When did the Mongolian cavalry become so weak? It seems that the only way to cut off the Ming army's food route is to charge together, otherwise they will return empty-handed."

Duduo muttered a few words to himself, and then issued an order:

"Pass this king's order, and everyone should charge together. The one who breaks into the Ming army's chariot formation first will be heavily rewarded..."

Duduo gave an order, and more than 20,000 people with white flags quickly rushed towards the Ming army's vehicle formation. Suddenly, the three directions of the vehicle formation were filled with Qing troops.

Mao Yuanyi said with a cold look:

"Artillery preparation..."

The Qing soldiers had just rushed to about 300 steps when they suddenly saw the front baffle of the Ming army's carriage suddenly opened, and then the black muzzles were exposed...

"fire……"

"Rumble..."

Before the Qing soldiers understood what was going on, as Mao Yuanyi roared, nearly a hundred cannons on the carriage spurted out clouds of fire... I like the Ming Dynasty, and the heyday began with the prince supervising the country. Please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) The Ming Dynasty
