Chapter 420 The Ming Army Can't Hold It Anymore
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Under the shooting of the Huben gun, the Ming army continued to fall. Because the distance was too close, the accuracy of the Huben army's shooting was still very high. For Ming soldiers, being shot at the close range of the Huben army was simply a nightmare. If they were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, every time the Huben army cavalry suddenly appeared, it would cause a riot among the Ming army.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Faced with the attacks of the Hu Ben cavalry, the Ming army organized a large number of comb-gun counterattacks, but there was no substantial effect. It could only give itself a little courage. There was no way, and the Ming army had to lift the shield again to block the shooting of Minnie bullets. Some troops simply stopped advancing, set up cannons, and bombarded the surroundings to prevent the Hu Ben cavalry from approaching.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
The Ming army's cannons had a relatively strong deterrence to the Hu Ben cavalry. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Hu Ben cavalry only found that the Ming army set up cannons and fled away immediately, and then got closer after the enemy's cannons were put away. So, when the Ming army set up cannons, the Hu Ben cavalry disappeared. When they demolished the cannons and continued to march, the Hu Ben cavalry appeared again.
As a result, the commanders of various units of the Ming army faced the same problem as Zhu Dadian: if they wanted to fire the artillery, they had to stop moving forward. But when they were moving forward, they could not fire the artillery. If they didn’t have the artillery and ran forward desperately, they would not be able to run away from the four-legged Tiger Ben Army cavalry!
There was no choice but to choose to fire a while, advance and proceed alternately, hoping to use the time difference to offset the threat of the Hu Ben cavalry. The Ming army often walked for a while, fought for a while, and fought for a while, and the speed was very slow. Sometimes, it could not advance to three miles in a morning.
The Huben Army cavalry slowly also understood the rules of the Ming army. When the Ming army set up artillery, they disappeared immediately. When the Ming army dismantled artillery, they suddenly appeared, which did not give the Ming army too much time difference. In addition, the Huben Army cavalry also focused on attacking the enemy's baggage troops, causing them great casualties. The Ming army's baggage troops naturally would not be very strong in battle, and after being attacked, they would easily fall into a state of panic. Other troops were worried that the baggage would be lost, so they had to come up to reinforce.
As a result, the Ming army was completely mobilized by the Hu Ben Army cavalry and gradually lost the initiative. When the Hu Ben Army cavalry came, the Ming army could only passively be beaten. When camping at night, they were constantly attacked and could not sleep at all. The next day, they were all in a state of depressed spirit and were extremely depressed. However, the number of Ming army was superior, and it was impossible for the Hu Ben Army cavalry to quickly defeat the opponent.
The battle between the two sides was carried out in such a continuous state. During the day, the continuous shooting of the Hu Ben Army cavalry made the Ming army officers and soldiers unhappy and suffered a lot of casualties. The journey of advance every day was less than ten miles. At night, the Hu Ben Army cavalry was also in a dilemma, and kept firing nearby, always trying to shoot the Ming army's sentinels, which made everyone in danger.
