Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

It can be seen from this that compared with the cavalry of the Runing Army, the cavalry of the Peasant Army is quite poor in fighting will. After all, they have [-] cavalry. , will still be overwhelmed.Therefore, no matter what kind of army or war, even in modern beyond-horizon wars, the bravery of soldiers still ranks first.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry surrounded the Runing Army's phalanx was to wait for Zhang Xianzhong's infantry to come up.They didn't know the battle situation at Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai's place, so they wanted to use hand-to-hand combat to squeeze Xue Yongli's main force down with crowd tactics.

But Xue Yongli didn't understand what the Peasant Army thought. He was still afraid that Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry would form a group to charge.So he yelled anxiously: "Hurry up, artillerymen! Shoot them down!"

So Xue Yongli's cavalry got out of the way and let Xiong Zhengen's cannon forward first.

Xiong Zhengen personally sat on the first gun carriage and led the cavalry regiment forward.They quickly bypassed the infantry phalanx in front of them, came to the front of the formation, and turned around on the spot.The soldiers driving the cannon immediately hurriedly untied the reins, and the gunner immediately ignited and ignited the cannon that had been filled with medicine.There was a loud noise, and the cannon flew towards the Peasant Army cavalry three or four hundred paces away.

The autumn is crisp and the ground is quite dry, so the shooting effect of the artillery is quite good.The cannon shot straight all the way, fell to the ground, reversed seven or eight times, and waded out a bloody path.It is simply that you will die if you touch it, and you will die if you touch it.

The eighth and ninth riders of the Peasant Army were immediately knocked down to the ground.The dead people enjoyed the severed limbs, while the injured people and horses screamed on the ground, and had to suffer the unbearable torture before they died.

Most of the Peasant Army cavalry turned around and fled immediately after the shelling, trying to escape the range of the artillery as soon as possible.But there were also some cavalry who gritted their teeth and rushed towards the artillery.Want to overturn the artillery.

But then the cannons were erected one by one, and they fired the cannons one by one.After the firing was completed, the artillerymen loaded the gunpowder skillfully, rammed it, aimed slightly, and ignited the fire.Don't pay attention to any salvo, as long as any artillery is loaded with ammunition, it will be ignited and fired directly. [

Xiong Zhengen, head of the artillery regiment, saw the damage caused by the artillery.Excitedly jumping straight on the gun mount, while jumping, he was yelling something.But because the roar of the artillery was too loud, no one could hear what he shouted clearly.I just saw a "bear" jumping up and down like a monkey in front of the cannon.

But there is no need to listen to Xiong Zhengen's orders, those artillerymen know what they should do.They chanted.The ammunition was loaded, and the cannons were set to the predetermined positions.

Thirty or so cannons from the cavalry regiment came up, as did some twenty cannons from the infantry and cavalry regiments, and in the end, even six nine-pound and twelve-pound cannons came up.

Facing the dark muzzle of the cannon, those cavalrymen of the Peasant Army who wanted to seize the cannon were also terrified.They also ran away.But even if they got close to the artillery formation, they would die.A swarm of chariots covering the artillery array, as well as cannons equipped with cannons, are waiting for them to approach.

After several rounds of shelling, the cavalry of the Peasant Army within the firing range had become sparse, and the gunners ordered in unanimous agreement: "Stop shooting, reload the ammunition, and raise the muzzle." They were about to extend the shelling.

Gradually, all the artillerymen could no longer hear the shouts of others.Even the figure of the adjacent gunner could not be seen clearly, the sound of shelling was deafening and the smoke filled the air.

And this extended shooting happened to hit the front of Zhang Xianzhong's fast-advancing infantry array.Suddenly being bombarded so violently, Zhang Xianzhong's formation collapsed immediately.

The entire battlefield was shaken. Zhang Xianzhong watched the soldiers in his front team begin to disintegrate. The leaders didn't have the courage to restrain them. The only thing they could think of to survive the rapid and intensive artillery fire was to run for their lives. Get out of this dead zone quickly.

The cannon fell.Many people were smashed, and it jumped up again after falling on the ground. This is the case with every cannon.Zhang Xianzhong and the generals and soldiers around him also felt the ground tremble.Some people could no longer control the horses under them. The horses were frenzied, neighing and jumping amidst loud noises and vibrations.He wanted to throw the knight on his back off his horse.

No matter how many battles he has experienced and how tough his nerves are, he cannot cope with such a scene.Everyone desperately dodged to the rear away from the shelling, and the entire peasant army was already in chaos.

The dust aroused by the landing of the guns and the gunpowder smoke drifting over from the bombardment position of the Runing Army blocked all sights, making everything blurry.The peasant army on the battlefield seemed to be in a dream, but that was a real nightmare.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Because the shouts could not be heard at all, the gunners of the Runing Army kicked and beat their men to stop firing.Those bastards were too excited. If they continued to shoot like this, the barrel would heat up, and it would be a waste of medicine, because it was already very difficult for the enemies within the range to survive.

When the gunfire stopped, everyone felt that the battlefield was quieter. In fact, it was not quiet, but everyone's ears were temporarily deaf due to the shelling.The wind on the battlefield also grew stronger, and the smoke and dust from the shelling slowly dissipated.

The officers and soldiers of the Runing Army stared blankly ahead, only to see that there were all corpses within the range of the shelling, and even the complete corpses could not be seen. All the soldiers of the peasant army who could escape the shelling broke up and fled.

The rear of the peasant army that was not hit by the shelling was in disarray.The crowded crowd made it impossible for the troops of the Peasant Army to maintain their original formation. Many of Zhang Xianzhong's leaders could not even find their own troops for the time being.The original dense infantry was in chaos, and the cavalry of the Peasant Army were also restraining the horses, and they had to worry about not affecting each other, which was also a mess. [

The effect of this shelling is also too huge.Although everyone in the Runing Army has seen their own artillery fire before, today's shelling has completely changed from quantitative to qualitative, reflecting the astonishing power of concentrated artillery fire.

So after a brief absence, the Runing army suddenly erupted into blazing cheers.The cheers lasted for a long time, resounding through the sky.Artillery is really the god of war!

"Master Li! I didn't expect the artillery to be so powerful!" He Fei also excitedly shouted at Xue Yongli.Because of some deafness, He Fei couldn't control his volume anymore, "Look at 'Bear', he's still acting ugly!"

Until now, Xiong Zhengen was still bouncing around in the artillery positions, but his tall body and twisted ugly appearance made him particularly conspicuous.

Xue Yongli was also quite happy, so it was rare for him to tell a joke.He nodded with a smile and said, "The Great God dances well!" This remark immediately caused a burst of laughter.

But then Xue Yongli immediately widened his eyes and shouted: "Cavalry eat shit? Why don't you go up? What are you watching?"

In fact, Xue Yongli was a little picky at this time.The cavalry came forward with the artillery regiment, and they had to appease the horses during the shelling just now, so they had just lined up until now.

With a burst of long whistles, more than 3000 Runing Army cavalry finally started to move. The infantry and artillery of the Runing Army cheered and waved their arms to them, and bursts of cheers broke out in the cavalry ranks.

"The solution to the battle still depends on our sabers!" shouted the deputy commander of the cavalry corps who commanded the cavalry to charge.

Immediately, there was a burst of voices in the cavalry: "Wan Sheng!"

The deputy army commander waved his hand directly, and the trumpeter blew the charge horn, and there was another shocking cheer. The entire cavalry unit burst out their strongest voice at the same moment.

Thousands of riders lined up in a neat horizontal line, pressing forward together, as if unstoppable like a moving mountain, or as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was falling, with smoke and dust billowing.

The cavalry kept their horses fast and trotted, and the formation continued to unfold, and the teams behind were also pulled to the front line, and the huge frontal formation pressed towards the peasant army.There is also a distance of four or five steps between the cavalry and the cavalry, which is to allow the cavalry to wave their weapons comfortably.

The deputy head of the cavalry corps led his own soldiers at the forefront of the cavalry formation. He firmly controlled the speed of his mount, and he must use his momentum to completely break up the formation of the peasant army.

The array of cavalry, the running and movement of people and horses under their crotches, the momentum is far more than the same number.Even the charge of the infantry team several times this number.This earth-shattering momentum.Facing the surging oppression, the enemy often dare not face it head-on, and will flee and turn around to dodge.

As soon as the enemy can no longer maintain their formation, break up and flee.Then they are not the opponents of cavalry who are condescending and have amazing impact, swinging knives at the enemy's back, that is a simple matter.

Even the cavalry who controls the speed, the speed of four legs is much faster than that of two legs. Those soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong, who had just been shocked by the artillery fire, saw the cavalry approaching in front of them unhurriedly. Hair dry, heart tight.

Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion also knew that they couldn't mess up, but they still needed the order of their king to fight or run.

But at this time Zhang Xianzhong had already suffered a mental breakdown.First, the Runing Army quickly broke through the left flank, and then they suffered astonishing artillery fire head-on, and now they have to face the pursuit of elite cavalry.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't react at all, and he didn't issue any orders. He just opened his throat and howled: "It's over! It's all over!"

This made the generals and soldiers around Zhang Xianzhong stunned. (to be continued...)
