Seeing the shield chariot for the first time, Zhu Yixi was a little stunned.
Although I don't understand the origin of this kind of thing, as expected, the defensive function of this shield vehicle is extremely powerful.
After all, during the Anti-Japanese War, the humidified quilt on the table could even withstand machine guns!
The people watching the battle on the city wall were a little distracted and didn't know much about this kind of thing.
"Which of you has seen it?"
Only at this time, one of the Yulin generals, You Shiwei's cousin You Zhaiwen, saw that everyone was confused, and he stepped forward and explained to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, my cousin You Shiwei defeated Jiannu at the border. This thing is called a shield chariot. It is extremely tough and cannot be broken by bullets."
"The infantry covering them can easily pick off antlers, traps, etc., and even fill in trenches. It is also extremely effective. During combat, archers and musketeers can also sneak fire, which is a great threat."
"I see."
The emperor was stunned, then nodded, it was exactly as he imagined.
"Give me the order to have the musketeers retreat and the heavy infantry to come up——"
"Yes!" Li Jingwu was stunned, then turned around and ordered.
After a semaphore, the troops began to follow the instructions.
At this time, the shields were already forward, and the fusiliers were ready to fire, firing continuously when they were within range.
However, the crisp and continuous firing of the flintlock gun also lost its effect at this time. There were many holes in the shield car, but it never stopped.
After several rounds of volleys, the military order finally spread, and the musketeers could only shrink back to the generals, exposing the road in the middle.
Under the astonished eyes of the Qing troops, the Ming troops changed positions on the battlefield with extremely rapid and skillful movements.
Even if he retreats, the musket still fires projectiles. There is almost no flaw in this transformation.
Wearing heavy armor, wearing horn masks, and armed to the teeth, the heavy infantry stepped forward slowly with heavy steps.
Bang bang bang——
The sound of bows and arrows, and the sound of muskets, were constantly hammering on the heavy armor.
Shotguns and bows and arrows were almost scratching the itch for heavy infantry covered in armor.
Yan Guochao is a tall man, nearly two meters tall, and when put on armor, he looks like an upright bear, full of huge threats.
"Grenade preparation——"
With a shout, the heavy infantrymen in the front row stood still and immediately took out grenades and carefully kept fire weapons from their waists.
The heavy infantrymen in the back row also took out grenades, but did not take out fire pistols.
The opportunity for this kind of performance is basically only for the front line. They are the tallest and strongest, and they are the pioneers.
"Throw it as high as you can—"
When the distance is close, light the fire and throw it upward with all your strength.
Although part of it exploded in front of the battle shield, the effect was still astonishing. A battle shield that could withstand bullets did not need to be bombed.
The grenade thrown behind the battle shield naturally caused great suffering to the Qing army, resulting in heavy casualties.
The front row's battle shield was destroyed and had to stop, hindering the Qing army's progress, and had no choice but to send men to replace it.
What greeted them was another round of grenades.
After three times in a row, the front row slowly moved to the back, and a new wave of people continued.
"Rumble--"
The sound of grenades continued, and then the Fran machine guns and red cannons in the Ming army also began to fire.
In this regard, even if he cherished his own side, Jierhalang still chose to fight against each other and started firing shots.
You come and go, it's so lively.
But with the accuracy of the artillery at this time, the effect is better than nothing. The best effect is nothing more than suppressing the opponent's morale.
At this time, the heavy infantry actually began to shrink the gap and gave up a small half of their position.
Immediately, after replenishing gunpowder, the army of gunmen showed their ferocious faces again.
In this way, the enemy at the front was divided into two, with guns raised and heavy infantry marching side by side, just to coordinate the battle, and could only stop to meet the enemy to avoid harming their own side. Gu Bo
"Infantry and musketeers side by side?"
On the top of the city, Li Jingwu felt that he was very surprised today, but he still couldn't hide the surprise in his heart.
What kind of weird idea is this?
“As long as the queues are even, that’s enough.”
The emperor said casually.
"But, if it's close range, how should we fight?"
Li Jingwu said with a pale face.
If the flintlock gun can also be used as a spear, but it is too cumbersome to carry the gun, and close combat is equal to courting death.
"Then don't let them get close!"
The emperor was noncommittal and showed a proud smile: "They can't get close either!"
Li Jingwu thought about it, and that was true. With the power of the gun, as long as the gunpowder continued, he would naturally not be able to get close.
"This can only be done by Jingying."
On the side, Zhao Guangyuan sighed softly: "The pace has changed. The Beijing camp has been engraved in my bones. Even on the battlefield, I can obey orders and take it easy."
"If I had waited, we would have been defeated thousands of miles ago."
"That's right, I just have a lot of free time!"
Unexpectedly, the emperor had sharp ears. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Any master who is always victorious must have a lot of time to spare."
As these words were spoken, the situation in the rear army began to change.
The Ming army chased the Mongols head-on, which panicked the poorly equipped Meng Eight Banners and made them unable to face the enemy head-on.
After being injured a lot, Meng Baqi sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, biting the bullet and sprinting forward - breaking out of the encirclement.
At this time, Manbaqi was stunned.
The Mengba Banner lost its fighting spirit. Facing the overwhelming heavy cavalry and the ant-like infantry, the Manba Banner instantly felt that it was trapped in a swamp and it was difficult to struggle.
"withdraw--"
A good man will not suffer any immediate losses, and Manba Banner also knew that this time was unfavorable. The opponent's heavy cavalry was really a stroke of genius.
Immediately, Manbaqi also began to show amazing riding skills and began to stand out.
But at this time, the Ming army seemed to have changed its character. It no longer let the Mongols leave as before, but pressed forward step by step, holding on to the Man Ba Banner.
Now, you come and I go, it's so lively.
While they were struggling, the Mengba Banner had already withdrawn from the battlefield and was wandering in all directions.
Among the front troops, as the shield vehicles failed, the gunmen slowly withdrew from the battlefield, and the fusiliers began to fight in parallel with the heavy infantry.
The footsteps of the two are the same, the speed is the same, and they are moving forward step by step.
He stepped over the damaged shield chariot, the tragically dead corpses, and the embarrassed flags.
One step, another step.
The crackling gunfire and heavy footsteps continued to knock the morale of the Qing army.
Many people retreated in fear and no longer had the confidence and unruliness they had before.
In fact, after raising the gun thirty steps before firing, the huge power caused almost no one to survive within a hundred steps.
In other words, from about 30 steps to about a hundred steps, at least seventy steps, about a hundred meters, there were countless casualties, and nearly a thousand Manchu heavy infantry were scrapped at one time.
The time consumed was only half an hour.
It can be called a meat grinding stone.
Such a tragic scene greatly damaged the morale of the Qing army.
In addition, the continuous attacks on the city in the past two months have weakened their energy, and many people are filled with fatigue.
After all, they don't have an emperor to boost morale.
