Chapter 413 I don't believe it, the cannons won't let you go!
Chapter 413 I don’t believe it, the cannon will not be able to bombard you!
The psychological pressure of the Ming army officers and soldiers was getting stronger and stronger. The infantry was always under the assault of the cavalry. Under the organization of their respective commanders, they formed a battle formation and prepared to deal with the impact of the enemy cavalry. All kinds of spears and muskets were on standby. As long as the enemy cavalry rushed up, they would first collide with their spear formation.
Soon, the Hu Ben cavalry appeared around them. They either had ten or five people, forming a dense front line. However, they did not seem to have the intention of attacking the Ming army. On the contrary, they lined up in a line, then all dismounted and raised muskets towards the Ming army.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of gunfire sounded, and they were immediately covered by white smoke.
Minnie bombs roared over and hit the middle of the Ming army. Someone fell down in the Ming army. Blood splashed and screamed in succession. The distance between the two sides was actually less than forty feet. The Ming army was very dense and suffered such intensive shootings, so the casualties were naturally very heavy.
"Strike back!"
"Strike back!"
"Strike back!"
Zhu Dadian was anxious and angry, and hurriedly ordered the troops to attack.
Zhu Han's cavalry battalion had to attack again.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The Hu Ben cavalry fired another gunshot, then turned around and ran away.
It is really embarrassing to chase Zhu Han's cavalry camp, and it is not chasing him. If you chase him, you are very likely to fall into the previous siege and eventually be defeated by the Hu Ben cavalry, and all the war horses were taken away. However, if you do not chase him, the Hu Ben cavalry will be very likely to make a comeback. The opponent's muskets have a long range and great power, so they can only be beaten passively.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
When Zhu Dadian saw his nephew hesitation, he hurriedly shouted.
There were still hundreds of cavalry left, and he was reluctant to waste them.
Zhu Han then ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The cavalry battalion slowly retreated and broke away from contact with the Hu Ben cavalry. As a result, the Hu Ben cavalry caught up again. They were still shooting at the Ming army's large troops at a distance of 40 meters. They were so unscrupulous that they were simply in a state of no one, and they did not take the 40,000 Ming troops in front of them seriously.
The Ming army had to raise the shield to block the shield. These heavy shields were all made of pig iron, and the thickness was at least one finger. The effect of resisting bullet arrows was indeed very good. Minnie bombs hit the shield, leaving only a small white dot, which had no lethality at all. However, there was a problem. When these heavy shields were raised, the Ming army's troops could only stay here and could not move.
Zhu Dadian was angry and angry and ordered a count of the losses. As a result, he didn't know if he didn't count it, and he was shocked when he counted it. Just now, the Cavalry of the Hu Ben Army killed and injured more than 300 people.
"How is that possible?"
"How is that possible?"
"How is that possible?"
Zhu Dadian muttered to himself in horror.
The Hu Ben Army cavalry only shot two rounds. Just two rounds of shooting cost the officers and soldiers a price of 300 people. If the bandit army kept shooting, wouldn’t they have to suffer more casualties? They were going to Qingzhou City along the way... Zhu Dadian dared not think about it.
Because Zhu Dadian ranks the most disliked guards at the outermost level, the main casualties were these guards. Fortunately, all the guards were killed and all the guards were killed, so Zhu Dadian would not frown. If it were war soldiers, Zhu Dadian would be heartbroken again.
However, even the number of casualties in the guards is very considerable. The troops under his command cannot withstand such large casualties. The casualties that ordinary combat soldiers can withstand are about 20% or 30%. Even his personal soldiers can withstand are only 30% or 40%. If more than 50%, they will all collapse. His cavalry camp has actually lost its combat effectiveness.
Even now, the Ming army raised their shields to block the situation, and there were still casualties. The fire guns of the Hu Ben Army cavalry were so powerful, as if these thick shields were a little unstoppable. Due to the great casualties, the guards outside the team had already appeared in chaos. Fortunately, the warriors inside were suppressed effectively, so they did not cause major riots.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
When the Ming army found that they could only be beaten passively, the Hu Ben Army cavalry shot even more unscrupulously.
After all, the Ming army's shield could not stop all Minnie bombs. The lethality of Minnie bombs is much stronger than that of bows and arrows. The only disadvantage is its penetration. Such a thick pig iron shield, Minnie bomb cannot penetrate. The lead bomb hits the pig iron shield and will immediately deform. However, it doesn't matter. As long as you pass through the gap, the Ming army behind the gap will inevitably fall to the ground screaming.
The shields of the Ming army were not dense enough to block all the Ming army. A considerable number of Ming army actually did not get effective protection from shields. Therefore, those soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army with better shooting skills were aimed at places without shields. Some Tiger Ben Army cavalry even ran to a place less than 30 feet away from the Ming army's large team and fired. Such actions were simply unscrupulous and arrogant.
But the Ming army's muskets were crackling, with gunfire filled with smoke, and gunfire was dense and continuous, but in fact they had no effect. Because the clamps they used could not hit that far distance. So, both sides kept firing, but the only one who fell down was the Ming army. Faced with such a passive beating, Zhu Dadian wanted to die.
Some Ming army could not stand such a blow, so they simply took the initiative and tried to rush up to fight with the Hu Ben Army. As a result, their figure was killed by a dense rain of bullets just after coming out of the shield. Even the bravest people were beaten to the ground with blood all over their bodies and fell to the ground. In this way, other Ming army no longer had the courage to fight with each other.
"Don't attack!"
"Array to defend!"
"Equipment of cannons!"
Finally, Zhu Dadian shouted angrily.
Just now, the Ming army was still in a state of marching, and the cannons were still on the carriage and had not been removed. Of course, the cannons could not be fired. Now, Zhu Dadian doesn't care. He wants to use fierce artillery fire to pay back and forth the firearms of the Hu Ben cavalry. I don't believe it, the cannons can't be knocked away! If you have the ability, you should stay there and don't leave!
"Be careful, the enemy has set up cannons!"
Zhong Wuying held up the Qianli Mile Mile and shouted coldly.
Of course, the Ming army's actions of setting up cannons cannot be hidden from their Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile
"withdraw!"
"Retreat beyond the range of the cannon!"
Zhong Wuying quickly conveyed the order, and at the same time quickly turned over and turned away.
In front of the cannon, the power of the Huben gun is still a bit weak. The grape bullets fired by the Folang machine cannon can hit about one hundred feet. This is a killer weapon for the cavalry. If they continue to stay here, they will definitely be beaten by the grape bullets. They don’t want to be such an idiot.
With the order, the surrounding Huben cavalry retreated one after another. It took a long time for the Ming army to set up cannons. When their cannons were set up, all the surrounding Huben cavalry had retreated.
"Composite of a sub-sub!"
"fire!"
Zhu Dadian shouted fiercely.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
The deafening sound of cannons rang out.
The thirty cannons that Zhu Dadian carried opened fire together.
Pieces of sub-compartment bullets shot towards all directions. The place where the Hu Ben Army cavalry had just left a rain of bullets. Marbles kept falling, smashing dust. However, the Hu Ben Army cavalry had no shadow. Therefore, these dense marbles had no effect. The cannons continued to bombard and continued to prevent the Hu Ben Army cavalry from approaching.
Amid the rumbling cannons, the Huben cavalry never appeared again. It seemed that the cannons really drove the Huben cavalry away. There were no more Huben cavalry around the Ming army. However, Zhu Dadian knew very well that someone must be lurking around the Huben cavalry and carefully observed their movements. Once they had the chance, they would still appear.
With cannon shooting, the Hu Ben Army cavalry would definitely not dare to approach. As long as the cannon is protected, the Ming army is safe. However, it is impossible for him to let the cannon be in a fire state at all times! When the cannon is in a fire state, it cannot be transported. If it cannot be transported, it cannot reach Qingzhou City. If it cannot be reached Qingzhou City, it will naturally be unable to recover Qingzhou City.
For a moment, Zhu Dadian was as big as a fight.
Can this Zhang Zhun not be so vicious?
Knowing that Zhang Zhun adopted a fatigue tactic and constantly plaguing him, Zhu Dadian couldn't break it. The range of the Hu Ben Army's muskets was too far. The Ming army could only counterattack the opponent, and any other troops rushed forward would be dead. The only thing he could rely on now was the cannon. But the other party was all cavalry, which was extremely fast. If he found something wrong, he immediately fled away. The bombardment of the cannon did not have any substantial effect. His grandma's egg, this was not a cavalry at all, it was a group of hungry wolves!
“Camp!”
"overnight!"
There was no choice but to convey the order helplessly.
Before he came up with a better solution, he had to slowly waste his time with Zhang Zhun. Fortunately, even if he had certain casualties, there were 40,000 officers and soldiers. Even if he was standing, his head was chopped off by Zhang Zhun, he would have to be cut for a long time. With the protection of cannons, it is safe to station for the time being.
The officers and soldiers then set up camps on the spot, deployed defense, and prepared for overnight stay. In order to prevent the Hu Ben cavalry from sneak attacking, all the cannons were in a state of being able to fire at any time. All the cannons were loaded with powerful sub-compartment bullets.
