Chapter 375 374 Metal Storm

"Boom boom boom"

With the start of the fourth round of shotgun, the lethality of the Ming army artillery was completely revealed at this time.

"Ah, ah, ah"

Continuous screams came from the cavalry formation, and cavalry and war horses were lying on the ground and wailing.

And this time the blow has not only come from those Fran machine cannons, "Bang bang bang bang bang."

As the team officer roared, more than 200 soldiers in the first row fired the bird guns in their hands, and then turned around and walked back from one side. The Ming soldiers in the second row stood in the first row and lowered the bird guns that were raised diagonally.

The cavalry in front pulled the trigger.

A large number of cavalry fell down amid the sound of guns and cannons.

The three thousand people's impact formation had become scattered in several attacks at this time. The remaining knights no longer had the courage to continue rushing forward, even though the faces of the Ming soldiers had already appeared in front of them clearly.

But what made them even more frightened were the black iron pipes.

No one knew whether the thing that was sprayed inside would hit them the next moment, but in their eyes, it seemed that countless tubes were aiming at them.

They were timid.

Faced with the continuous attacks of the Ming army's firearms, who didn't know who could finally bear the pressure and took the lead in running back

"It's safe to stay away from here."

This is what the survivors think, and the instinct of survival quickly spreads everyone like a plague.

The Mongolian Wanhu behind the formation was also frightened by the firepower of the Ming army. Unexpectedly, the three thousand Ming troops on the opposite side were equipped with so many firearms, and the power of the densely launched iron sticks was so great.

In his sense, even the Ming army fort he had attacked seemed to have not had so many firearms.

The three thousand men's team seemed to have lost 20 or 30% of their troops before they could be joined. Fortunately, they did not send their subordinates and the Khans' troops. At least they were close to the Ming army formation, but the next moment he changed his face.

The cavalry, who had suffered several rounds of attacks, actually ran back, and all the previous losses were wasted.

At this time, the Mongolian Qianhu's face looked very ugly, and he wanted to go up and chop off all these people's heads.

This is a very bad start. If you encounter setbacks in the future, even the elites under your command will probably follow these guys. Perhaps only the Royal Guards will persevere.

However, the guard cannot easily be thrown into the battlefield. The Ming army on the opposite side has shown its powerful combat power and cannot be taken lightly.

"This is the person you brought, hum, trash."

The Mongolian Wanhu said viciously to Qiu Fu beside him.

In fact, Qiu Fu was also confused at this time. Whose subordinate was the Ming army in front of him? Why did he have so many firearms?

Firearms are not expensive, but it is very expensive to train a skilled firearm unit because they require a lot of gunpowder to consume.

And behind the Ming army formation, Liu Han also stared at the scene in front of him in amazement.

The Ming army infantry could repel the charge of cavalry formations in field battles. This was not a turtle shell that huddled together to form an army formation, but a dispersed combat formation.

The most important thing is that the Ming army infantry formations often compress together to fight the cavalry, which becomes the best target for the opponent's cavalry archers. They will surround the infantry and shoot archery rain into the queue, which is difficult to prevent.

of.

But what was happening in front of us? The troops were fully deployed and relied on the power of firearms to repel the impact of the cavalry. Although the people who rushed up this time did not look much like the Mongols, they were also serious cavalry attacks, with the forces of both sides equally.

Liu Han unconsciously reached out and rubbed his chin, thinking about whether he would have such a team to try the power of it?

As a general, who doesn’t want to have a team that can be beaten is not only the foundation for a stable life, but also the capital to increase the position.

Even if your official position is almost over, don’t you still have a son or grandson?

Such a military training method can be passed down from generation to generation.

As for the firearms, look for the troops to see if there are any other firearms. Even if there are not, you can collect a portion of the firearms sent to the military fort.

However, we can't collect too many. The soldiers below have no firearms, so it's even harder to fight. We still have to find the Ministry of War in the capital and the Arsenal Division.

No wonder the imperial court has built so many firearms over the years, and it seems that it is more powerful when it is concentrated and used in large quantities. But the people are even more insincere and they want a lot of money.

However, as I saw it today, it seems to be worth the price.

Liu Han was so excited that he had already planned to organize a similar force to try it when he went back.

Then, his eyes looked at the unicycle chariots again.

This thing is also good. There are shields in front, firearms, ammunition, and food and grass on the car, which is better than recruiting civil servants.

This Yu Dayou is really capable, and the things he has produced are really good.

At this time, Liu Han had forgotten the little thoughts he had about Yu Dayou yesterday, and now he has completely turned it over.

The Ming army's central army formation was now covered by thick smoke. The pungent smell of smoke made many people feel uncomfortable, and from time to time, you could hear coughing sounds from the army formation.

In the past, the fire was not so high in intensity. The Fran machine gun almost finished the two-wheeled cartridges. The bird gunman was pretty good. He only shot one round, and the second round was the first row of soldiers completing the shooting action.

The enemy on the opposite side ran out of the shooting range, leaving only the corpses on the ground.

There seemed to be some wounded people, and some people were lucky enough not to be trampled to death during the return of the horse team, and they were still moving their injured body hard there.

Maybe I knew that even if I climbed back, it would be difficult to get treatment. The moving body was moving to the side of the battlefield, or maybe I wanted to climb out of this combat area.

If you can avoid the shooting of Ming munitions, you will not have the confidence to avoid the charge of the cavalry. If you continue to lie here, you will only be trampled by the galloping war horses.

Yu Dayou was also shocked at this moment. Although he had imagined such a scene of thousands of cannons being fired countless times, he did not realize until this moment that it seemed to be completely different from what he imagined.

The power of the metal storm was finally revealed for the first time on the eastern land.

After repelling the first round of attacks of the Tartars, Yu Dayou did not immediately order the Ming army to continue moving forward. He was waiting for the opponent to take a second move.

The distance between the two sides is not far, but it still has not entered the maximum strike range of solid bullets.

The Altan army on the opposite side finally took action. With the sound of the horn and the swaying of multiple flags, two teams of Tartar cavalry came out. They passed by the Bansheng City cavalry who had retreated in panic and advanced

Continuously increase horse speed during the process.

The original relaxed expression on the faces of the Tartar soldiers had disappeared. They saw the power of the Ming army's firepower strike just now, but after the military order was issued, they could not turn back, otherwise the consequences would be more uncomfortable than living.

"Solid bullet preparation."

During the brief exchange of the Tartars attack sequence, the Ming army also returned to pre-war preparations, and the bird gunners naturally did not change. However, the auxiliary soldiers of the Fran Cannon were busy hooking out the shotguns they had originally loaded with small hooks and re-opened.

Replace it with a solid bullet and put it in.

"emission."

As the team officer yelled loudly.

"Boom boom boom"

A series of dense cannon sounded again on the grassland.

The first time Altan's cavalry dispatched two thousand households and two thousand cavalrymen, they rushed towards the formation of the Ming army from both sides.

The Ming army responded exactly the same. The gunner slightly adjusted the direction of the fran machine cannon gun gun and then fired the shells.

Just as the two thousand Altan troops met the artillery fire of the Ming army, the horn sounded again in the Altan military camp, and soon two more cavalrymen from thousands of households slowly stepped out of the military formation and began to accelerate continuously.

In a very short time, thousands of Mongolian households have made their own decisions.

The Fran machine cannon had a slightly longer range and could not shoot the Ming army immediately after being shot. Then he had to bear certain casualties and get closer and shoot them with a bow and arrow.

The bow and horse are the pride of the grassland people. Even though the Ming army showed signs of abandoning bows and arrows and using firearms, the grassland people still sneered at this.

The original firearm, the disadvantage of slow loading, seems to be being changed by the new design, but this will not change the prejudice of grassland people towards firearms.

It was no different from before. After the Ming army's cannons sounded, the Tartar cavalry in front kept falling off their horses, but no one stopped the robes behind them and continued to step on their bodies.

Fighting against the bombardment of the Ming army's Fran cannon, the Tatar cavalry finally rushed to the distance where they could shoot bows and arrows. They sat upright, raised their arms and shot the arrows in their hands about forty-five degrees, and then immediately bowed again.

He lay on the horse's back and prepared a second arrow, while the opposite of them were dense shotguns and rows of lead bombs.

It is impossible to say whether it is a long distance or a bumpy horse's back.

Fortunately, the Ming army gathered together. As long as it shot over and into that range, it would have a chance to cause a killing effect. As for the shields on the chariots in front, there was almost no protection effect on the arrows that dived from the dive from above.

As Altan's cavalry rolled down in pieces, unlucky men in the Ming army were gathered by arrows falling from the sky, and casualties inevitably appeared.

But the soldiers who fell to the ground were soon stuffed with a thick wooden stick into their mouths and dragged away.

"Boom, boom, bang, bang, bang"

The sound of gunfire sounded continuously in the Ming army formation. Although the formation was once again covered by gunfire, it was possible to see the battle situation ahead.

At this time, Liu Han had already seen the cavalry behind pull out the sword in his hand. He knew that these cavalry not only protected the weapons of these firearms, but also maintained the strength of the military formation.

At this time, if someone runs back from the military formation, the cavalry in front of them will slash his head without hesitation.

At this time, Liu Han could already feel the smell of gunpowder in the air from his nostrils, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He regrets a little now, why didn't he bring a team of archers out?

He had already seen that although the three thousand people's firearms were sharp, they were still a little thin after all. Especially when Altan's army dispatched four thousand households to rush in batches at a time, although the firepower seemed to be uninterrupted, it still fired continuously.

But it wasn't violent enough in the end.

If at this time, there is a archer queue after the bird gunner, then they can make up for the lack of firepower.
To be continued...
