Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 756 Tiger Mighty Army Tiger Mighty Army

"Ping Mao, refuse the horse!!"

Following the general's loud shout, the spearmen of the Huwei Army in the first five rows shouted in unison. The first row stood in a lunge, leaning forward, with their spears tilted, and their tails inserted into the soil. The pikemen have the flat ends of their spears, the spears of the third row are slanted upwards, the fourth row is more inclined, and the same is true for the fifth row.

Immediately after the order, the front half of the spearmen's queue turned into a steel thorn forest made of sharp blades. The spearmen were changing, and the firecrackers lined up on both sides of the spearmen's queue were rearranged. Everyone was nervously loading ammunition. .

Some people were screaming and screaming on the battlefield. This was not the casualty just now. The Han infantry standing in front of the Tartar cavalry was no longer a cover, but an obstacle.

The Tartar cavalry recklessly ran over with their horses and killed them with weapons in their hands, so that their horses could charge up and charge faster.

This time, the Tartars invested a large number of cavalry, and even more elite sweat cavalry. In the face of such a large-scale gallop, they did not believe that the unshielded infantry could block it and not escape in the face of such a shock.

Looking at the gleaming array in front of him, it was just a deceptive trick. When they rushed to the front, they would disperse, and they must take off their armor at that time.

Some of the cavalry who had just driven away the Han people wanted to shoot arrows at a distance. Anyway, there was no firecrackers in front of them, but as soon as they slowed down and pulled the bowstrings, they would be hit and killed by the firecrackers on both sides of the spear array. .

There is no other choice but to charge. After all, the firecrackers are still preparing. Shooting from both sides has a certain dead angle. If they rush to the front, they can smash the Ming army's spear array.

Everyone was beating the horses desperately, there were corpses on the ground, it was difficult to raise the speed of the horses, the noise and noise behind them became more and more intense, if they slowed down, they would be hacked to death by their companions behind them, or fell to the ground, Trampled to death by horseshoes.

The sound of that damned firecracker sounded again, and people kept falling from their horses, but such killings were nothing compared to the sudden metal storm blowing in front of them, and there was still a chance to rush forward.

Thirty paces, the Ming army soldiers on the opposite side are not in disorder, twenty paces, the Ming army soldiers in front are still in a stable formation, the upper half of the face covered by the visor is very indifferent, only cold eyes can be seen facing each other.

After ten steps, the spear array of the Ming army remained motionless. In front of them was the gleaming steel thorns. When they hit it, the leather armor on their bodies could not stop the spears from stabbing, but it was too late to stop the mount now.

The horse is not a dead thing, it also has life and fear, and it also has an instinctive reaction to sharp objects. Although it is driven to rush to the front, the instinct still makes the horse messy.

Some horses stood up straight regardless of control, but the inertia brought by the running caused the horses to roll over directly. Some horses forced to turn, but they couldn't do it, and fell directly to the ground, and some cavalry used their spurs desperately Piercing the horse's belly, the severe pain caused the horse to rush into the spear formation regardless.

The array of spears was like a mountain, like rocks in the sea, resisting the fierce charge in front of them. The spears pierced the horses in front of them. The cavalry on the horses resisted the rolling horses. It broke, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the companions behind immediately stepped on top.

This moment was even more cruel than when the firecrackers were shooting just now. The distance between the two sides was shortened to the range where they could fight hand-to-hand. Hatchet and saber, but these could not cause damage to the armor of the Ming army's spearmen.

The soldiers of the Ming army roared, looking for any gaps, stabbing out the spears in their hands, constantly stabbing out, the queue was moving forward slowly, stabbing out slowly, and the team officers and battalion officers held the spears in their hands. He slashed with his ax and spear, cut off the Tartar cavalry in front of him with a hook, and then stabbed him to death.

The shooting of the two-winged gunfire finally became coherent and intensive, hitting the cavalry rushing from the front and the direction facing the spearmen. This non-stop shooting could not completely stop the cavalry's charge, but it could make the cavalry's charge Cannot form continuity, cannot continuously put pressure on the spear formation.

The position of the artillery team is still busy, and Wang Tong's personal guards and the elite cavalry have already begun to join the battle. In terms of individual combat capabilities, they are much stronger than the firecrackers and spearmen. The front is mainly facing the array of spears, so Wang Tong's personal guards can still stop them.

Holding a simple knife in his hand, Wang Tong calmly looked around immediately. On the east side of the Huwei military chariot formation, he could already see the detoured Tartar cavalry team. After the attack wave in front of him, he could see even more Large-scale cavalry is surging, and the messengers behind them are still running.

Jizhen needs more cavalry support. The pressure brought by the Tartars on the Jizhen army is not inferior to that of the Huwei army. It was crushed, but it was of little use. The orderly on the watchtower had already seen two infantry teams gathering in the van formation. It seemed that Wang Tong's method was going to be used.

Horns and drums are sounding with various rhythms, and the Tartars are constantly dispatching troops. The commander of the Tartars is quite capable of grasping the overall situation. He constantly uses the power in his hands, not only to be in the upper hand, Moreover, the Ming army was about to be completely surrounded, and the situation was still tilting slightly towards the Tartars.

In such a difficult situation, the assembly of the trebuchet is still proceeding in an orderly manner. The tall wooden frame is taking shape little by little, and the moment arm made of long logs is being hoisted on it, and it has already begun to be connected with leather ropes.

"Commander, the enemy cavalry is only three hundred steps away from the chariot formation!"

There was a loud roar from behind, and orders came from the car formation. The security forces also had the ability to use firearms proficiently. The elders in the car formation could also fight with spears and knives. What they lacked was experience on the battlefield. , with Chezheng as a support, they have enough fighting power, Wang Tong is not worried.

But when the battle situation reached the present situation, Wang Tong glanced at the artillery array beside him. Most of the artillery had already started the final work, and Wang Tong slowly raised his hand.

"boom!!"

A muffled sound stopped Wang Tong's movements. The roar of the artillery did not come from his own artillery formation or the position behind him, but from Ji Town. Has the general's cannon over there finally fired?

"Commander, the cannons in Ji Town fired, and one of the return cannons was knocked down!!
Even without the messenger, Wang Tong could still hear the excited shout of the guard upstairs, his voice was already hoarse, even though the soldier was carrying a kettle with him.

Not to mention the power of the artillery, but its momentum is not inferior to that of the Huwei army. The muffled sound continued to sound like thunder. Such cannons are not suitable for the chariot formation, and the Jizhen soldiers carried a total of ten of them.

After ten loud bangs, the guards on the watchtower were very disappointed, because only two cannons hit the target, and the rest of the catapults stood there majestically and gradually became complete.

The artillery mounted on the earthen platform was not very accurate, and could only be fired based on the experience of the gunner. This is also why the artillery of the Ming army was mostly used for siege, and was rarely used in field battles.

After this launch, the fort needs to be re-built and the barrel re-cleaned, which will take a lot of time. The problem is that a few catapults over there have begun to add weights, and it will be completed soon. Will it be given to Jizhen? When will the soldiers on the side fire the second shell?

Just now the roar of the artillery had already broken the bloody path in the Tartars' formation. The two largest general cannons even attacked the Tartars' main formation, but the damage was not decisive. After a little confusion, the entanglement was still there. Continuing, the catapult is still being completed.

The roar of dense firecrackers and cannons also sounded behind Wang Tong. Wang Tong turned his head slightly, and caught a glimpse of the Tartar cavalry attacking the chariot formation, falling off their horses in front of the chariot formation. Archery, but at that distance, the arrows have no effect, they can only swim slowly.

But they didn't get any advantage as expected in front of the car formation. The main force did come out from the protection of the car formation, but those who stayed behind in the car formation could also serve as fighters.

"Marshal, the artillery team is ready!!"

Zhang Wu shouted loudly, Mu En was staring at the battlefield ahead, and beyond the range of the firecrackers, the Tartar cavalry began to rationally open the corpses on the battlefield. This was not for pity or mercy, but to clean up the cavalry behind. To create a more even space for attacking, the newly arrived cavalry are much more elite than those just now, their formation is neat, and their armor and weapons also appear to be more sophisticated.

It seems that the Tartars have also brought out their core strength. Everyone can understand what the Tartars are going to do. As long as the trebuchets complete their attack, the formation will be broken, and the battlefield will become a battle between the superior cavalry and the infantry. , The idea is good, the plan is also very good, at least Wang Tong didn't know that the Tartars still have this long-range weapon until now.

Wang Tong looked at the Tartar cavalry in formation, and said in a solemn voice:
"Don't fire the nine-pound cannon, aim at the return cannon, and fire the six-pound cannon at the Tartar cavalry formation!!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Tong waved his hand forward, and Mu En immediately opened his mouth to prepare. The artillerymen took out the red-hot iron brazing braziers from the brazier. The brigade began to move forward.

Quickly looked at the cannons everywhere, seeing that they were all ready, Mu En took a deep breath, and then roared loudly:
"fire!!"

The artillery team has been useless since they set foot on the grassland. At this time, they finally had a happy opportunity, and the artillerymen lit the fuses one after another.
At this moment, the earth trembled, thunder roared, and all sounds were suppressed! !
