The flag falls, the musket rings, the spears are pierced, and the people are miserable!
Two hundred and eight -eight -eight -eight lead ejected on the 30s and forty cars in the middle of the Golden Army's cars, and more than a hundred fists of holes were immediately hit.
When the heavy wooden truss met the projectiles of the turtle dove gun, it was almost like paper, and they all pierced through with one hit!
The sound of the gun was still ringing in his ears, and the screams started immediately.
If Yuan Chonghuan had stood behind the empty carriage, he would have seen a group of braided soldiers holding their heads, their heads and faces covered with blood, rolling and screaming on the ground.
These guys can still scream, which is certainly not the worst. Because what opened their heads was just fragments of wood shattered and blown away by lead bullets. If it were a real lead bullet hitting the skull, where would there be screams? Isn't that a zombie?
However, with the wooden posts blocking it, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't see the dozens of slaves and braided soldiers behind him who had fallen down (most of them could still scream), and he didn't have time to look at them.
Because the battle is still going on, he, the "musketeer captain," now has to supervise his men to reload, fire, and kill!
As an excellent fire gun captain, Yuan Chonghuan certainly knows the secret to running a fire gun soldier well - that is seriousness and responsibility!
Starting from the selection of gunpowder, gunpowder, projectiles and the gunmen who use them, you must be serious and meticulous.
In a word, he had to use the serious energy that he had spent ten years reading sages and writing calligraphy in a cold window to become a fire fighter.
In addition to being serious, you must also be responsible!
From the purchase of gunpowder and gunpowder, to the daily training of gunpowder soldiers, and now on the battlefield... someone has to be responsible for every link. If something goes wrong in any link, the person responsible will be punished or even stabbed.
And Yuan Chonghuan cannot be a hands-off governor, he must personally take overall responsibility!
That's right, it's him, the Grand Governor, who takes overall responsibility for the equipment, training, and operations of hundreds of Fire Gun soldiers!
It seems unreasonable, but this is how efficient the Ming Dynasty's army and bureaucracy were.
If Yuan Chonghuan, the governor, did not personally arrest his own Du Biao army and the 600 gunmen under the Du Biao, he would surely lose his place on the battlefield now.
Zhu Youjian, who was very familiar with the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, had repeatedly urged Yuan Chonghuan to supervise the equipment and training of the fire gun soldiers as early as a few years ago when he recommended the turtle dove gun and Taizu's spear array.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we must be serious about pacifying Liao and destroying the captives.
Today Zhu Youjian asked Yuan Chonghuan to take the lead, just to see how he would be responsible!
Judging from Yuan Chonghuan's current performance, he may not be a good commander, but as a musketeer captain, he is still qualified.
Under his command, the six hundred fire gun soldiers first fired in turns and retreated while fighting. After retreating to a position close to the spear formation, they began to play three-stage attack again.
That is to say, one person shoots, two people load, and they don't fire volleys, but fire after loading - the three-stage attack is more complicated to operate, and the cooperation of a three-person team is fine. If you still need to fire a salvo, it will be difficult to command. Higher, the rate of fire will also decrease.
In fact, in the era of queuing to kill, when line infantry fired at the enemy on the battlefield, they only fired a few rounds of volleys, and then it was time to disrupt the guns.
Because after several rounds of salvos, the battlefield became very chaotic. The sound of gunshots, cannons, screams, and shouts were all mixed together, and there was also choking smoke. The officers could not direct the salvos at all.
Although it is not a salvo, the target of the car is large, moves slowly, and is very close. It is easy to hit the well-trained fire gun soldiers.
The Houjin soldiers behind the carriage on the opposite side also began to fight back. They drew their bows and shot arrows, and began to throw feather arrows while moving forward.
However, these arrowheads had no accuracy and did not pose much of a threat to the Ming army's armored gunmen.
The shooting of the fire gun is still going on unhurriedly!
Amin's eldest son Airli, who commanded the dead soldiers of the Jin Army, was also a ruthless character. Even if the gunshots in front of him sounded like fried beans, he was not afraid at all.
Although Airli is a third-generation man, he is not young. He is already in his thirties, and he is a veteran who has participated in the Battle of Salhu. After more than ten years of fighting life and death with the Ming army, when were you afraid of going too far?
I saw him wearing two or three layers of heavy armor, wearing a helmet with a "lightning rod" on the top, waving a large Kanto broom, among the Han troops and Xianglan bannermen who were pushing the carriages forward. Behind the banner, the Korean army was shouting and supervising the battle.
There were also dozens of white-armored soldiers with blue flags in a line under his command, pressing behind the Han and Korean troops in front, pushing these cannon fodder soldiers forward desperately.
Even though the Han and Korean troops in front had suffered many casualties, the young master with the blue flag had an excited expression on his face.
Because the Ming army in front has only fired muskets, not cannons, and they don't even have a single explosive arrow fired with a bed crossbow.
It seems that the Ming army has not had time to transport the artillery and crossbows, otherwise they would have used them to blast the carriages.
Without artillery, although turtledove guns alone can cause casualties to the Han and Korean troops behind the carriage, as long as the knives in the hands of Zhen Manchu, who supervises the battle, are sharp enough, the remaining Han and Korean troops who can still move can still kill them. It was pushed up on a cart.
And behind the formation of more than a hundred battered vehicles, there are 18 real trump cards, which are 18 squatting tiger cannons mounted on two-wheeled carts!
The role of the carriage is not only to cover the infantry behind and hit the Ming army's gun array, but also to cover these squatting tiger artillery.
As long as the Tiger Crouching Cannon is escorted to a distance of twenty or thirty steps in front of the Ming Army's gun formation, a fierce blast will destroy the gun formation, and then the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers will rush forward to massacre!
Thinking of this, Airli looked ahead and couldn't see clearly. There was a lot of smoke, but the distance between the carriages and the Ming army's gun array should not be far away. Thinking of this, Airli yelled: "Blow the trumpet and start charging into the formation. I'm going to charge like hell and overwhelm Yuan Manzi's spear formation!"
I also sent the Tiger Crouching Artillery Team to kill Yuan Manzi! "
...
There was no wind on the Xiaolinghe battlefield today, so the smoke from the six hundred turtledove guns could not be dispersed for a while, and they were piled up in layers at the front of the Ming army's position.
Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan, like Airli, could not see clearly what was ahead. But he could still hear the shouts from the enemy troops on the opposite side getting louder and louder!
The enemy is close!
"Transmit the order from my general!" Governor Yuan also began to adjust his deployment, "The fire gun soldiers ceased fire and retreated...the spear formation, prepare to charge!"
Behind Governor Yuan, there were naturally soldiers delivering orders, running quickly to convey his orders. The gun soldiers quickly stopped shooting and began to retreat through the spear array.
Yuan Chonghuan also retreated and walked with his soldiers to the middle of the two spear phalanxes, but he did not go far.
At this time, the smoke on the battlefield had dispersed, and both sides could see their opponents.
On the Ming army's side, the first three rows of soldiers of the three spear phalanxes have leveled their Zhangsan spears in their hands and pointed them forward, while the remaining spears are still pointing to the sky. From the front, they look like a jungle of three spears.
Then on the Jin Army's side, there were still eighty or ninety carriages that continued to advance.
The Houjin soldiers behind the carriage also formed a formation, all wearing blue cotton armor, and most of them also held long guns! Between the blue, there seem to be a few dark things. What are they?
Yuan Chonghuan took a closer look and discovered that it was a squatting tiger cannon!
Now Governor Yuan is also anxious. He has always been the only one to attack others, but now it seems that it will be the other way around!
This is so bullying!
"Mom!" Yuan Dudu cursed and pointed Shang Fang's sword forward, "Push it forward as hard as you can, let's fight with the Tatars!"
Lao Yuan is already speaking Cantonese!
However, his supervisory soldiers were all used to listening to Cantonese and could basically understand the meaning, so they immediately raised their suonas and blew loudly.
The suona sounds, the charge begins, the gun array is like a wave, and the sound of killing shakes the sky!
The three formations of spearmen, who had been holding back their energy for a long time, shouted at the same time: "Repay Gong Yuan's kindness and kill the Tatars!"
Four to five thousand soldiers rushed forward like a tide!
How had the Han artilleryman pushing the Tiger Crouching Cannon seen this kind of Ming army before? Without taking aim anymore, he lit the fuse with shaking hands. After a burst of gunpowder smoke, hundreds of five-cent pellets were sprayed out of the barrel and swept past the Ming army's gun array, instantly mowing down seventeen or eight heroes.
But this kind of loss is nothing to Yuan Chonghuan's pacesetter... Today is the battle under the supervision of Lord Long Live, and Governor Yuan is leading everyone to fight hard.
This kind of battle is worth killing!
In the blink of an eye, the three gun formations slammed into two to three thousand Han and Korean soldiers with blue flags.
The latter immediately disintegrated upon impact!
Yuan Chonghuan, who was still supervising the battle on the front line, was a little surprised when he saw that the Eight Banners soldiers with blue flags did not block the blow of their own spearmen.
It turns out that this governor is so good at fighting!
It seems that five years of Pingliao is not a dream!
