Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 758
The five trebuchets that were about to be completed were smashed by the roar of the artillery, and the busy people beside the other trebuchets also discovered what the Ming army artillery was aiming at.

The tremendous power of the artillery can't even be resisted by the Tartar cavalry, let alone the busy craftsmen and peasants on the side of the trebuchet. persist in.

The range of the six-pound cannon was much more than that. Although it was fired diagonally between the two armies, it still defeated the main line of the Tartar army.

The heavy shells bounced off the ground, and the cavalry who had no time to evade were torn to pieces by him, as was the horse. The man was torn to pieces and died directly, and the horse was smashed, crushing the cavalry on his back.

The shells hit the wooden frame of the trebuchet. The wood that made up the wooden frame did not hinder the flight of the shells very much. A dozen shells still flew into the main camp of the Tartars for a certain distance, and more than a dozen bloody paths were opened.

This position was suddenly vacant. When the two armies were fighting, the chief general had to be able to see the other side to give command. Bows and arrows, firecrackers, and light artillery that could be carried to the battlefield were also required. Five hundred paces was a safe enough distance, but These few bombardments by the Huwei army completely overturned the cognition of the Tartar army.

Since it is not safe to be in this position, and the artillery of the Huwei Army can be reloaded and fired so quickly, who will wait in the original position to die?

In the second round of bombardment, the two regiments of the Huwei Army and the artillery array were in the direction facing the Tartars. On the contrary, on the battlefield, several heroic and decisive attacks had already suffered devastating blows. , For a while, no one had the courage to rush forward again.

"After the first regiment and the second regiment fired a salvo from the artillery team, they moved forward in unison!!"

Wang Tong gave the order loudly, and the following suddenly agreed. Wang Tong turned his head and looked in the direction of Ji Town. The counterweights of several trebuchets were rising, and the counterweights of several trebuchets were falling rapidly. The thick lever was pressed down by the counterweight, and the stone projectile at the other end was thrown out, hitting the car array in front of it.

The stone bullets of tens of catties and hundreds of catties are thrown out like a parabola. In a sense, their power is not inferior to the artillery of the Huwei Army. It is possible to determine the location of the stone bomb.

The van formation that was still indestructible just now seemed like paper in front of the boulder. The van in front of it was smashed to pieces, and the Ming army inside was also smashed to pieces.

The artillery of the officers and soldiers of Ji Town still hadn't had time to fire the second shell. The opponent's trebuchet had already been launched first, and the stone bullets roared and smashed towards them.

Some trebuchets were not adjusted properly, and the stone bullets landed a dozen steps in front of the chariot formation. The Ming army cavalry who were fighting with the Tartars there were unlucky.

After the stone bomb hits the ground, the bouncing distance is very short, but the power contained in it can still smash the people in front of it, and it can still break the defense of the side car after hitting the side car formation.

That is to say, in a short period of time, more than a dozen openings were opened in the side-car array, and the soldiers of the Ming army on the side-car were injured or injured, but no one was blocking the gap behind. The broken ones were smashed even more, but they couldn't cause too much damage.

After firing the catapult a few times, the opening of the chariot formation here was opened, and the catapult would be of little use in the future. The Tartar army immediately stopped launching the catapult and began to let the retreating cavalry gather forward. , ready to rush into that opening, in order not to be smashed by stone bullets, the cavalry of the Ming army had also dispersed.

On the battlefield of the Huwei army, the Tartar army was constantly being compressed backwards, and the Huwei army was constantly pressing forward. On the entire battlefield, half of the two sides had the upper hand, while the other half was completely suppressed. began to twist together.

The attack from the flanks is useless. Both sides put their strength into the frontal confrontation. Whoever can penetrate the opponent's other half faster will be more likely to grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

The Tartar cavalry divided into three teams and began to rush into the gaps in the Jizhen army formation. When the Tartar cavalry approached the gap, the Jizhen infantry also lined up to meet them.

It is true that cavalry has various advantages over infantry, but strong infantry can also fight against cavalry, let alone in such a narrow place as the gap. The advantage of this is that trebuchets dare not throw stone bullets unscrupulously, because they His own cavalry were also fighting there.

The Tartar cavalry has an advantage in the chariot formation in Ji Town, but the advantage is not that great. The Tartar army will continue to invest troops into the battlefield to expand this advantage even more.

Lieutenant General Yang Jin of Jizhen is a qualified general. He mobilized groups of Ming soldiers, holding bows and arrows, swords, shields and spears to meet the Tartar cavalry. Assassinate the cavalry, and the remaining vans on the front are still blocking more Tartar cavalry from coming.

The soldiers on Jizhen's side took action one by one, and some people moved forward the carts carrying grain, grass and luggage to make the terrain in front more complicated, which would reduce the enemy's cavalry mobility and be more conducive to Jizhen's pace. pawn resistance.

The cavalry led by Ma Yong no longer cared about any wandering and fighting, and rushed towards the main formation of the Tartars regardless. The problem now is to stop the momentum of the Tartar cavalry rushing in, so that the position of Jizhen can be possible Save it, or it's all over.

************
"Master Lalike, let's step back, Minggou's artillery is too powerful!!"

A commander yelled anxiously at Lalik, but what he answered was a whip from Lalik, and Lalik lost his composure just now. He looked at the battlefield with red eyes, and shouted angrily:

"I can't retreat, the main force of the Ming army has been broken by us, hold on a little longer."

Before he finished speaking, there was another deafening roar, and the artillery of the Ming army, which he did not regard as the main force, fired again, and he could clearly see the scene after the shelling. An open space was opened by the volley, and the momentum of the shells did not decrease, and they flew into the main formation again.

Most of the erected trebuchets had collapsed, and even if none collapsed, there was no one below to operate them. The cavalry led by Ma Sanbiao had already begun to clean up the soldiers and horses around the trebuchets.

Several attacks were defeated by the Tiger's Mighty Army. Now the Tiger's Mighty Army's firearms are no longer for defense, but for killing. On the side that the Tiger's Mighty Army is facing, the Tartars have no way to form an offensive. Under the cover of the gun, it kept moving forward, and then stopped after a few dozen steps, waiting for the artillery team behind to catch up.

This is how they moved forward step by step, but the Tatars had no way to stop them. In fact, the central army where Lalik was in had been retreating all the time, but the Huwei army was also constantly pressing forward. This formation has become somewhat untenable. Every time the artillery fires, there will be spillovers on this side of the formation. Everyone spread out as loosely as possible, but as the occupation here gradually deteriorates, the increasingly loose formation makes people Thoughts of running away.

After the third round of bombardment, some cavalry in the rear team began to flee. Up to now, except for the soldiers who pulled Like's main formation and the generals at all levels, the entire military formation has gradually become chaotic from the beginning. The resistance is getting smaller and smaller.

"Send an order to Jidal to lead his troops to block the advance of this Ming army."

Lalik gave the order in a hoarse voice, and the messenger galloped away on horseback, but came back soon, and hesitantly said impatiently on the horse:

"Lord Lalik, Lord Jidal said that the warriors under his command cannot die in vain on the battlefield, and what he has to do now is to return to the city to protect the Khan!!"

"The bastard who should be torn apart by vultures, let him attack the main force of the Ming army, and he will not shirk there!"

Pullik roared and cursed, and then gave another order. Just as the orderly turned and left, Pullik suddenly beat the guards around him with a whip, and cursed:

"Hurry up and ask Hai Rigu to use burning stone bombs. When is it? Are you still thinking about Minggou's food, grass and property!!"

***************
The leather pocket of the trebuchet was replaced with an iron chain, and the stone projectile was wrapped with a rope made of wool. The rope was soaked in grease, and the stone projectile was ignited before firing.The stone bomb was thrown and turned into a fireball.

Those gaps where no cavalry poured in were smashed into by fireballs. Burning and rolling stone bullets hit the positions of soldiers and horses in Jizhen. The activities of the Tartar cavalry, these things are inflammable.

Contaminated by the flames on the fireball, the sky was dry and things were dry, and it immediately burned up. The fire blazed in the formation, and the resistance of the soldiers in Jizhen gradually became chaotic. Only the cavalry will go after them, but now they are rushed in by the Tartars, and the fire is still raging, how to fight, and many people think that this is on the grassland, no reinforcements will come to support them, they are alone, such despair Under such a situation, it would not cause any desperate situation. On the contrary, it would make people even more desperate. The Tartars kept putting in their strength, and the position of Ji Town began to be unable to resist.

Everyone can see the situation clearly. After a little hesitation, the Tartar army general who presided over the side decided to attack with flaming stone bombs to completely defeat the [-] Ming army. After that, it was too late to put out the fire, and the other side was almost supported. Can't help it, if this side is defeated, more power can be mobilized, and the Ming army can be eaten with absolute advantage.

There was a loud "boom", although there was only one sound, the sound seemed to be louder than the artillery that had already been fired. A shell flew rapidly and missed the trebuchet, but hit the pile of stone bullets beside the trebuchet , stone chips flew, and everyone around was beaten into a sieve
