The bed crossbows and explosive flying guns that Shi Kefa used to deal with the carriages were actually not new gadgets. There were similar things in the Ming Dynasty's various weapons arsenal. If Zhu Youjian hadn't been worried about handing over the Hongyi cannon and general cannon to Shi Kefa, most of his regiment training troops would not have used these things. Because there were no artillery, Shi Kefa's Zunhua regiment training had no choice but to think of other methods. In the end, they found this wonderful combination of bombs, flying guns, and crossbows from the pile of old papers.
The "explosion flying gun" fired by Fangzi's crossbow flew through the air, aimed at the carriage dozens of steps ahead, and flew over.
Most of the people pushing the carts were slaves in clothing - they were not forced, they all came voluntarily to gain wealth!
The wealth effect of the last attack on D'ankou and Longjingguan was clearly there. The wrapping slaves who participated were now all Qiding masters. Those who did not participate or were not on the wheel were all extremely envious. Zhang Xiaoqi, who didn't go to Da'ankou with Fan Wencheng for a year, was just a wrapped slave who regretted it. If he had done it with Fan Wencheng last time, his identity would be that of a bannerman now!
So this time he had another chance to make a meritorious service, and he refused to miss it. In order to join the team pushing the cart, he even went to beg Fan Wencheng.
Of course Fan Wencheng agreed immediately. This matter was a piece of cake for him, because his brother Fan Wencai was assigned to command 10 laundering trucks and 70 or 80 wrappers. It was so easy to stuff Zhang Xiaoqi into it. Even though Zhang Xiaoqi was young and weak, Fan Wencai still found a lighter cart and asked him to push it together with seven other wrappers.
There were not only wooden pallets on the cart, but also several bags of sand and bucklers.
The sand and soil were used to fill the pits - the pits where Dorondo and others were trapped. Now they are covered up and restored to their original state, waiting to continue to trap people and horses.
Of course, Huang Taiji could not allow any more Eight Banners warriors to be pitted, so he asked Bao Yi, who was pushing the cart, to fill the pit... braving the rain of arrows and javelins to fill it!
And those round shields were used to protect them. When the time comes, put the round shield on your head and fill the hole for the Kingdom of Jin!
Those who can fill the hole, cover the Eight Banners soldiers behind them and advance to the front of the Ming army's Queyue Formation, and survive in the end, will certainly be able to stand out and be promoted from a slave to the Eight Banners. From now on, the Eight Banners will be the real Tatars!
Thinking of the scenery after becoming a Tatar, Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly had endless strength in his thin body, and he and several other wrapped slaves pushed the cart reasonably and rumbled forward.
There was a loud noise from the awning, and the carriage shook. It must have been a crossbow gun that had pierced the large carriage.
Zhang Xiaoqi looked up at the large pillars of the carriage with some worry. The large pillars seemed to have withstood the blow of the crossbow gun and were safe and sound!
"Xiaoqi, don't be afraid." The person in charge of this truck was a Mongolian man named Batu. He could also speak Chinese and had known Zhang Xiaoqi for a long time. He immediately comforted him loudly, "Our truck is very strong. Even the Southerners' squatting tiger cannons can't hit..."
"Rumble..."
Before Batu could finish his words, the big pillars of the truck he was in charge of suddenly exploded for unknown reasons, breaking into several large pieces and scattering in all directions. One of the pieces was still rolling and heading towards Batu's head. The melon seeds were coming, and they hit it without any hesitation! The head was quite big and looked quite strong, but when it was hit by this big piece of wood, it cracked like a watermelon in front of Zhang Xiaoqi! The brains and donated blood inside spurted out, splashing Zhang Xiaoqi's face. As soon as Batu's head was broken, he lost control of his body and jumped towards Zhang Xiaoqi with dancing gestures... A man with half of his head broken just rushed towards Zhang Xiaoqi, and Zhang Xiaoqi was immediately frightened and fainted. He turned around and was about to run. He didn't take a few steps when he was grabbed by someone. Zhang Xiaoqi looked up and saw that it was Fan Wencai.
Fan Wencai was not polite, and slapped him with a big mouth after he swung it, "Why are you running? Go back to push the cart for me!"
"But, but Dazhen..." Zhang Xiaoqi, who was a little more awake, wanted to explain, but was slapped again.
"What is this? The military law of the Great Jin Kingdom is as high as a mountain. If you want to survive, go back!"
After being yelled at by Fan Wencai, Zhang Xiaoqi finally remembered that the Kingdom of Jin still had military laws!
The Kingdom of Jin has clear rewards and punishments, and escaping from battle will lead to death!
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about being afraid and went back to push the cart. It didn't matter whether it had big pillars or not. If you were pushing it anyway, the Eight Banners soldiers wouldn't shoot you with arrows!
Fan Wencai indeed saved Zhang Xiaoqi's life, because the Eight Banners soldiers supervising the formation behind them had already shot Bao Yi who had escaped from the battle.
Hou Jin can rise like this, of course there is merit. Among them, the relatively fair distribution of spoils and the relatively clear rewards and punishments are the two "system advantages" of Houjin.
The death penalty for escaping from battle is not specifically designed for the prisoners. The dead soldiers of the Eight Banners behind them cannot retreat without orders, otherwise they will be killed by the sharp soldiers of the Eight Banners!
When the Eight Banners soldiers were fighting, they also enforced military law on top of each other - dead soldiers pressed on the coats, and sharp soldiers pressed on the dead soldiers. All of them could only advance, but could not retreat, unless ordered to retreat by superiors.
The person at the top of the Great Jin Kingdom was already stunned by the exploding crossbow gun - it turned out that this could still be the case! Is your car now broken? What a simple way, why didn’t the guys in Liao Town think of it?
"Rumble..."
There was another burst of explosions, and the Ming Army Queyue Formation fired a second wave of explosive crossbows at this time - the previous wave of explosive crossbows only destroyed some of the carriages, and there were still seventy or eighty others that were still moving forward. So Shi Kefa asked people to fire a second wave of explosive crossbows...and then a third wave, and a fourth wave!
Four waves of volleys fired a total of more than 400 explosive crossbow guns, knocking out two-thirds of the inventory in Zunhua County. However, most of the wooden carriages were destroyed. The blasted wooden carriages were flying in all directions, and hundreds of wrapped slaves were killed and wounded with them. In front of the Jin army's formation, there was a loud cry. ! There were twenty or thirty remaining trucks that had not been hit, and they were all lying down. Of course the coated slave pushing the cart did not dare to run away, but he had no strength and could not push the cart...
However, Shi Kefa didn't have any explosive crossbows to continue shooting, so he started firing ordinary crossbows, and the target changed from the carriage to the dead soldier of the Eight Banners.
This is the crossbow gun fired by the bed crossbow!
The distance between these Eight Banners dead soldiers and Fangzi's crossbow is just a stone's throw away. For a crossbow that has a much longer range than ordinary bows and arrows, at this distance, no matter how many layers of armor you wear, it will pierce you.
However, the Eight Banners soldiers were still brave after all. Facing the crossbows that kept coming, they did not even take a step back. Instead, they took out their bows and arrows to fight back.
The Eight Banners soldiers are all warriors who are "prepared for many battles", that is, one person can master multiple combat skills, including archery, horseback riding, and melee combat. Just use one soldier as several soldiers! Moreover, their archery skills were not bad, their shooting speed was fast, and their shooting was relatively accurate. They soon caused many casualties to the Zunhua regiment's training.
The Zunhua regiment on the opposite side was poorly trained. They were divided into five types of arms: sword soldiers, spearmen, archers, crossbowmen, and gunmen. Among them, the sword soldiers can only use javelins, while the pike soldiers have no projection ability. The archers and crossbow soldiers are basically unable to fight hand to hand, but the gun soldiers can fight hand to hand. They are all equipped with shields. After shooting the three-eyed gun, you can use the three-eyed gun as a hammer. use. However, Shi Kefa did not let the gunmen leave the city, so the soldiers relying on the Queyue Formation to fight today were knives, spears, bows and arrows, and bed crossbows. Among them, the only ones that can be used to shoot against the Eight Banners soldiers are archers and crossbowmen. And what can really inflict a fatal blow to the Eight Banners soldiers is the one hundred and twenty Fangzi crossbows... Every time the Fangzi crossbows fire, they can knock down more than ten or twenty Eight Banners soldiers!
Being knocked down by a bed crossbow would mean a narrow escape from death, and the one who survived would probably be crippled!
This style of play is exchanging lives!
"Ming Jin, retreat!" Huang Taiji saw that Shi Kefa's Queyue Formation seemed to have endless crossbows, so he had to give the order to retreat. When the golden sound of retreat sounded, Huang Taiji sighed with regret and said to the left and right : "My purpose is to avoid reality and avoid reality. Zunhua is reality. I will go to Yutian. If Yutian is not easy to fight, I will go to Jizhou. If Jizhou fails, I will go to Pinggu..."
