Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

And the scull cart is really very practical.Its general function is to break through a solid infantry formation. If the infantry formation is lined up, if the cavalry wants to attack, it will take a lot of effort and suffer a lot of casualties, so I want a quick victory. If so, the pawns rushed over with the scull cart and crashed directly into the opponent's formation.After messing up the formation, give it a rout.

But at this time, the Qing army's use of oar carts was just right, just to guard against the firecrackers fired by the ink department on the top of the mountain.So Shumo could only watch helplessly as the Qing army approached step by step.

Six or seven hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain, the Qing army began to divide its troops, and the last two rows of scull chariots turned south under the leadership of Liu Shun. They wanted to set up a position about a thousand steps southwest of the hill to block the reinforcements of the Runing army. .

And Zhang Liang led more than 3000 soldiers of the Han army banner and [-] Korean musketeers, followed behind three rows of scull carts, and headed towards the hill occupied by Shumo.

The scull carts of the Qing army have a large door panel erected in front, and thick sandbags are piled behind the door panel.There is an observation hole in the door panel of the scull cart, and the back is a simple frame and wooden wheels. There is no wooden board on the frame, so it is completely convenient for people to ride.

Generally speaking, this clumsy and ridiculous looking weapon can completely withstand the shooting of almost all firearms and bows.But this does not include artillery.So when the scull cart was three or four hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain, the artillery on the top of the mountain opened fire.

Three three-pounders and six one-pounders flew out of the barrel with a loud noise.It's simply too easy to hit.The scull carts are arranged very closely, which is a big target in the eyes of the artillery, and the speed of the movement is not fast, and it is moving directly against the muzzle, almost hitting a fixed target, so the gunners of the Runing Army feel that, Shooting now is simply easier than in training.

Three three-pounders flew past.It's just false hair. A total of four scull carts were smashed. One of them was lucky and smashed the front and rear two at the same time. It was a ring.

A six-shot one-pound gun is less effective.But one was also broken.The rest of the guns hit the gate, and the crushed sand and wood chips flew backward at high speed.As a result, the Han army banner soldiers hiding behind suffered heavy casualties. [

In the middle of the first row of oar carts.Immediately, a big gap was opened by the artillery, and the scull carts in the back row were also in a panic. Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang who was behind hurriedly shouted: "You must not retreat. The military law of the Qing Dynasty is to retreat and behead. Even the family members are killed." Be a slave. Speed ​​up and keep charging, if you get close to the artillery, you won’t be able to hit it.”

The speed of the scull carts was obviously accelerated, and the scull carts in the back row also filled the gap in the first row.The soldiers of the Han Army Banner pushed the car with all their strength, like the last sprint when they rushed to the battle.These soldiers are also experienced in many battles. They know that it took a long time to reload the artillery at that time, so they had to hurry up and rush into the dead angle of the artillery.

However, the gunner training level of the Runing Army is very high, and their artillery has passed the strict manufacturing and inspection of the workshop.So the medicine was filled quickly.

And as the array of scull carts approached.The targets of those scull carts are even bigger, and the gunner can easily shoot at the scull carts without even needing to aim.With the scull cart and the Han army banner soldiers hiding behind the scull cart, they thought that being covered by this cart would make them safer.Unexpectedly, it has now become the meat on the cutting board. Letting the artillery of the Runing Army slaughter it, there is nowhere to escape, because the space behind the scull cart is too narrow.

Although the gunners of the Runing Army fought happily, Shumo frowned.As a commander, he can't just look at the present like a soldier, he has to consider the whole battle.

Although the artillery of the Runing Army was almost false, the number was indeed too small.Moreover, firing from top to bottom caused the dead angle of the artillery to be extended. As long as the Qing army rushed to a distance of a hundred steps from the foot of the mountain, it would be difficult for the artillery to shoot at these scull carts.

Another point is that although the one-pound artillery also caused a large number of casualties in the Qing army, from the perspective of calligraphy and ink, it was impossible to observe the movement behind the scull cart.He only saw that the small cannons hit the door panels in front of the scull carts to splash wood chips, but they could not smash the scull carts. I feel that the one-pound cannon does not shoot well.

So Shumo immediately ordered: "Stop firing the one-pound cannon, modify the cannon, lower the muzzle, and prepare for the Tartars to attack the mountain."

The three-pound cannon is too heavy to adjust, that is, the one-pound cannon can raise the breech in a short time, so after listening to Shumo's order, the gunners of the one-pound cannon immediately became busy.But in this way, the density of the artillery fire of the Runing Army was greatly reduced, which restored the morale of the soldiers with the banner of the Han Army behind the scull cart.

Moreover, Zhang Liang yelled from behind: "The Han dog's cannon is broken! Brothers, hurry up!" Therefore, following Zhang Liang's yelling, many soldiers with the Han army flag rushed to help from behind the scull cart. With their joint efforts, the speed of the scull cart has been further increased.

Soon, the front and rear three rows of scull carts rushed into the blind spot, seeing that the firing of the three-pound guns had no effect, Shumo made a gesture to stop them, and then said to the head of the infantry regiment: "Get ready to fight! "

So the artillerymen began to pack the artillery.When they cleaned the barrel with a wet mop, water vapor came out of the muzzle, which shows how happily these artillerymen of the Runing Army fired.

No matter how gentle the slope up the mountain is, it is obviously not possible to go up the scull cart.So the soldiers of the Han Army Banner took the scull cart to the bottom of the slope, first formed a car wall to cover themselves, and then rushed out directly from behind the scull cart, rushing towards the top of the slope regardless.

Just now, they were under the gunfire of the Runing Army but had no ability to fight back, which made these people suffocated long ago, so they didn't care about the formation at this time, they only knew how to charge up the slope in a swarm, thinking Earlier, he had a hand-to-hand fight with the Runing army, and he was the first to let out this bad breath.

The distance from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope is 150 steps, and the bushes in the middle are sparse, forming no obstacles, so it only takes a few tens of breaths to reach it. [

But the result is predictable.The firecrackers fired in bursts, and the one-pound artillery that approached the last was another round of cannonballs, which was quite straightforward. After throwing corpses all over the place, this round of charge was repelled, and the brains of the Han army banner soldiers were also awakened.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang immediately ordered to the soldiers around him: "Call the North Korean commander of firecrackers quickly."
