Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 479 Ming Army's Secret Weapon
Chapter 479 Ming Army's Secret Weapon
After the firing of dozens of cannons in the second round, the gunners of the Qing army rushed to the remaining cannons that had not been fired on one side, and the Ming army's car battalion had reached within two miles of the Qing army's artillery formation. A further mile forward, the medium-sized Fran cannon mounted on the van will cover the Qing army artillery array in front of it within the range of firepower.
That's right, the nearly one hundred vans at the beginning were all loaded with medium-sized Frangler cannons weighing [-] jin. The solid projectiles of this kind of Frangler cannons had a range of more than two hundred steps, while the shotguns The range can also cover all targets within a hundred steps.
Just when the gunners of the Qing army fired the remaining small Hongyi cannons on the second floor, and then rushed to the first row of Flang machine guns with the largest number, the vans of Cheying had already approached to the firing range. Within a short time, the drivers turned the cars around one after another, quickly blindfolded the bulls, and ran to the side to take care of the steers pulling the carts.
A sharp and short horn sounded, and amidst the earth-shattering bang, nearly a hundred Franc cannons roared almost in no particular order.
Different from the backward method of firing artillery in the Qing army, the gunners trained by the regular Portuguese army officers in Cheying adopted a salvo method according to the habits they had developed during drills. The lethality of this salvo is far Far greater than the burst effect.
After flying for a short distance, nearly a hundred black projectiles fell from the sky like hailstones. Everything within the coverage of the projectiles was instantly smashed to pieces, and more than a dozen people ran to the front row of artillery positions. The gunners of the Qing army were smashed into meat, and hundreds of gunners were screaming and fell to the ground. A dozen front-row Frang machine guns were hit by projectiles and tilted to one side.
The two yellow-flag infantry and cavalry in the middle of the two artillery formations were lucky enough to survive because they were not within the shooting range. Otherwise, under the rain of bullets, the tightly formed Qing army would suffer huge casualties.
Before the gunners of the Qing army could react, after slightly correcting the shooting range and target orientation, there were loud noises again and again, and the second round of bombardment by the Ming army followed. This time the killing effect was even more significant. Dozens of gunners of the Qing army And hundreds of loaders were hit directly or indirectly by the projectile.
After two rounds of shelling, more than half of the gunners of the Qing army were killed or injured, and the remaining survivors turned their heads and ran backwards, trying to escape the damage of the shells as soon as possible. The bullets that arrived chased and fired at the fleeing Qing army, and more than a dozen Qing army gunners fell to the ground and died. There were less than a hundred gunners, but now only more than [-] survived.
Seeing that the gunners of the Qing army were no longer a threat to our side, Sun Yingyuan gave an order, and the drivers swiftly removed the cotton cloth from the bull's eye, then turned the front of the car and rushed to the north. After completing the start-up procedure with all the vehicles, a short Amidst the sound of the horn, Che Ying continued to slowly greet the Qing army formation behind the artillery formation.
Just as the Ming and Qing artillery bombarded each other on the middle road, the right-wing Ming army on the east side of the front of Jinzhou City also fought with the two blue flags of the Qing army.
The Ming army took the lead with [-] Xuanda frontier troops. These two frontier troops have always been the most powerful among the nine frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Xuanda line is the closest to the capital, it has been responsible for the important responsibility of defending the capital for many years, and because of the convenient transportation, there has been no shortage of food and military equipment for a long time, and the morale of the troops has remained at a relatively good level.
In recent years, two important ministers, Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng, successively supervised the Xuanda army. During this period, the two have carried out strict rectification and reform of Xuanda's ministries, so the current strength of Xuanda's frontier army is even better than before.
If it weren't for the fact that the firearm configuration was slightly less than that of the Yongwei Camp and the Jingying Camp, and the combat power was simply compared, the selected 1 people were only slightly worse than the Yongwei Camp, Qin Army, and Baigan soldiers, but better than the Jingying and other soldiers. The frontier army is clearly superior.
Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei are also battle-tested veterans. Although they have a bit more of the old style of generals, they are not inferior to Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji and others in terms of control over their opponents and on-the-spot command ability.
In addition, after the two led their troops to the battle, they saw that there were so many elite troops behind them, so whether it was the two of them or the generals and soldiers under them, almost everyone wanted to show them a hand in front of the friendly army.
As the three groups of people from the left, middle and right marched at the same time, more than 2 people from the two blue flags on the left wing of the Qing army on the opposite side also began to move their formations to meet them.
After observing the banner of the right-wing Ming army, Ji Erhalang was relieved and secretly pleased at the same time.
As long as it is not against the new army of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army has almost no defeats against the Ming army in the traditional sense for many years, and basically wins every time. This huge psychological advantage makes the Qing army of the two blue flags Jun immediately regained his confidence.
According to the tactics formulated in advance, when the two sides approached to a distance of about one mile, the Ming army's formation stopped with the sound of horns, and two hundred Ming troops left their own formation and rushed forward.
These soldiers either carried or carried many round and square objects of different sizes, stopped when they were more than a hundred steps away from the formation, and then deployed their hands and feet deftly under the command of the battalion officer. The array is still walking towards the Ming army with firm steps.
It seems that because of the frequent rehearsals, these two hundred Ming soldiers are extremely proficient in their movements, and they arranged their belongings properly in a short while. At this time, the forward of the Qing army on the opposite side is only more than two hundred steps away from them.
"Fire!"
Because the Qing army did not have a cavalry team, the battalion officer who led the team waited for a while, and the bold battalion officer gave the order loudly when he saw thousands of archers from the Qing army marching forward.
After hearing the order, the soldiers holding matchlocks blew on the torches and ignited the fuzes of different lengths behind the objects. As the fuzes burned rapidly, the battalion officer gave another order, and the hundreds of Ming soldiers turned around. He walked quickly to his front.
Before they could take a few steps, along with the faint and continuous sound of cannons on the middle battlefield, a sharp howling sound suddenly pierced the sky, and with the rising of white gunpowder smoke, more than 1 long arrows flew into the sky one after another , twisting and flying in various postures in the air, and then after the kinetic energy disappeared, the arrow swooped down towards the Qing army archers and forward array on the ground.
What these soldiers of the Ming army fired were the traditional weapons of mass destruction of the Ming army: a hundred tigers rushing together, a swarm of bees, and a flying crow carrying only four heavy arrows.
Hundred tigers run together, as the name implies, a square launcher is loaded with a hundred long arrows, while a swarm of bees is a circular launcher with 32 long arrows. There are fuzes and primers under these rockets, and there is a master fuze at the end. Link these fuzes together and just ignite the master fuze to cast.
The Shenhuo flying crow is made of thin bamboo strips, thin reeds, and tissue paper to make a crow shape. The belly is filled with gunpowder, and four rockets are nailed obliquely under the body. The aperture of the rocket should preferably accommodate three fuses.
When in use, it also ignites the total fuze of the micro-ends of the four rockets. Multiple powder cartridges are propelled in parallel, which can increase the range or increase the delivery weight. However, because the powder loaded between the various cartridges is uneven, it often leads to loss of direction control.
Since the Mongolian Tartars that Xuanda faced had been in decline for many years, even if there were occasional offenders, there were only a few hundred sporadic people. Therefore, these long-range strike weapons that could be used in wars have never been used. When Dawei led his troops out of the customs, he simply took all the stocks in the warehouse out of the customs.
Thanks to Xianyu for flying the plane to reward.Push the book, "The Scourge of a Poor Family", with more than 200 million words, and it is also a theme of the Ming Dynasty. It is better than mine, and it is worth reading.This kind of battle of tens of thousands of people on a large battlefield is too difficult to write. I try to have a picture in my mind, and everyone will take care of it.
