Chapter 588, Battle of Shenyang (Part 2)(1/2)
"Kill all these Nikans~"
"Kill~"
"Robbing them of their armors, weapons, and war horses~"
As the howling sounded, the Jurchens immediately rushed towards the Ming army.
Their fighting style is that they have no fighting skills. They all rely on the strong combat capabilities of the Jurchens. One Jurchen can often fight with several Ming troops.
These tens of thousands of Jurchens gathered together. If they fought head-on in the field, their combat power would be terrifying, enough to attack the Ming army composed of tens of thousands of people.
"Get ready~"
"Aim~"
Zhu Houzhao excitedly grasped his musket, held it firmly, and aimed at a Jurchen who was rushing at the front.
I saw that this Jurchen was very tall, wearing leather armor and holding a mace in her hand. Her head was bald except for a small rat tail at the back.
"You are my first target~"
Zhu Houzhao had a smile on his face.
This was the first time he went to the battlefield. He had no intention of being afraid. On the contrary, he was very excited. What he imagined in his mind was Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and he admired General Feng Langju Xu.
This time, he finally got rid of Liu Jin and sneaked in. When he had the opportunity to personally participate in the battle, he became energetic.
"Only more than 10,000 people~"
"You are completely invincible. I would like to see how many of my 20,000 new troops are left after a round of musket fire. You are completely invincible."
Liu Jin was riding on his war horse and looked at the Jurchens who were rushing over.
In the era of cold weapons, they were indeed extremely powerful, but times have changed, and now they are gradually moving into a country in the era of hot weapons. No matter how strong the cold weapons are, they will eventually be eliminated.
Next to Liu Jin, Wang Shouren looked unhappy.
In his opinion, these Jurchens in front of him were all infantrymen with few horses. The ten thousand cavalry under his command were enough to easily eat them up.
But Liu Jin refused to give in and insisted on letting these new troops come.
This made him very unhappy, and the brothers under his command were also very unhappy. When they were eating meat, they actually asked everyone to step aside. Watching the new army eat meat, they could only wait and pick up some leftovers.
In fact, he didn't know that this was Liu Jin's reason for safety.
Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, was very aware of the Jurchens' combat prowess.
If you really think that cavalry can defeat the Jurchens, you are wrong.
Even if the infantry is against the cavalry, the Jurchens can be so strong that they can defeat the cavalry. They are so powerful.
Living among the white mountains and black waters for a long time, making a living by fishing and hunting, they have long developed the toughness of the Jurchens.
Wang Shouren's 10,000 cavalry are also very strong, but if they go head-to-head with the Jurchens, they will lose their reference. These 10,000 cavalry can be regarded as the most precious cavalry in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
In the future, we will have to rely on these cavalry to sweep across the grassland and push across the grassland from east to west, but we cannot let it fall into the hands of the Jurchens.
Therefore, it is best to use new troops and muskets to deal with these Jurchens.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and soon, each other can clearly see the face of the opponent.
The Jurchens are particularly tough, especially the savage Jurchens. They look like savages, but they are also very tall, with a barbaric aura coming towards them.
"100 feet~"
"50 feet~"
"30 feet~"
"15 feet~"
"Fire~"
The officer in charge of directing the shooting constantly calculated the distance between the two sides, and when it reached 15 feet, he decisively ordered to fire.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
There was a burst of intense gunfire accompanied by billowing white smoke.
Then the Jurchen army that was charging hard was like waves of wheat swept by the strong wind, or like huge waves hitting the rocks. The Jurchens at the front instantly fell down in large pieces.
"Second row~"
"Aim~"
"Fire~"
After the first batch of shots, the second row of long guns stretched out again, aimed and fired, all in one go.
"Bang~"
Another burst of intensive gunfire rang out, hitting the Jurchen army hard immediately, and those who rushed in front fell face to face.
"Third row~"
"Aim~"
"Fire~"
Like a machine, the third platoon quickly took aim and opened fire. Thick smoke accompanied by dense gunshots sounded, and the Jurchens attacked the army. Countless drops of blood suddenly appeared.
The Jurchens who rushed to the front fell down one by one.
The 20,000 new troops fired just one salvo, and the entire battlefield suddenly became quiet.
The Jurchens who were charging continuously were dumbfounded. Some lucky ones stood dumbly and looked around in disbelief.
The people who had originally charged with him all fell into a pool of blood, with holes all over their bodies and blood flowing freely. Some of the survivors were wailing.
As for the Jurchens who rushed behind, they were even more stupid. Looking at the corpses all around them and the familiar figures, their charging pace automatically stopped.
In just one salvo, 20,000 new troops each fired one shot. The hit rate was not very high, but thousands of people fell.
The dense formation impact encountered the dense musket formation, and the lethality was extremely terrifying, like a wave of harvesting wheat.
“First row~”
"Get ready~"
"Aim~"
"Fire~"
They didn't rush, but the Ming army had no intention of stopping, and the mechanical sound sounded again.
Suddenly there was another burst of thick smoke accompanied by intensive gunshots, and suddenly more figures continued to fall.
"Three rapid fire~"
"Fire~"
On the other side, the artillery here also opened fire.
"Boom~Boom~"
Hundreds of Miyun cannons began to spray out furious fire, making a deafening roar that resounded through the sky.
Cannonballs roared in the sky and soon fell among the Jurchens.
"touch~"
With the terrible inertia, the place where the shell fell was suddenly a mess of blood and flesh.
No matter how tall you are, no matter how tough you are, if you are hit by a cannonball, you will die without any body parts. Some of the cannonballs will even fall to the ground and continue to beat, leaving a trail of blood wherever they go.
.
The shells kept roaring, and the Jurchen army behind them was in chaos. Tuoluo and other Jurchen leaders were all scared and their faces turned pale.
This cannonball must have hit too far.
They saw with their own eyes that Badal was hit by a cannonball, and half of his body was smashed off.
"It's so scary~"
Tuo Yuanbao couldn't help but tremble at this time.
I have never seen such terrifying muskets and artillery. The range of the muskets is very long. The key is such a dense musket attack. The Jurchens' army charge is no different from death.
Although their bows and arrows were powerful, they could not hit the opponent at all. Even if they could hit the opponent, it would be difficult to cause any harm to the Ming army if the opponent was wearing armor.
The war had just begun, and they had not even gotten close to the Ming army, but thousands of people had already died, plus the roaring shells.
The entire Jurchen army was in chaos, completely in chaos.
The tribal leader was also afraid of death. He was running around like a headless fly. He was a little timid and even rode his horse to escape from here.
There were intensive attacks from hundreds of artillery pieces, and shells were roaring in the sky all the time, constantly falling on their heads. No one knew whether they would fall on them in the next second.
"Stand at attention~"
"Take a break~"
