This is the legendary Emperor Star. No, it must be the fall of the general star. It must be the fall of the general star!
Huang Taiji's imagination is very rich, but sometimes it is easy to think too much. For example, when he saw the spectacular scene of rockets exploding in the sky, he thought about the fall of the Emperor Star... How does he feel? Of course I started to get nervous!
Zhu Youjian probably didn't come, so there is only one emperor star on this battlefield, and that's Huang Taiji!
And he even fainted once before!
The Mongolian doctor who accompanied the army said that due to the warning from the Immortal Heaven, one must take good care of the body and not work too hard... But to take care of the body, one has to return to Shenyang first! How to maintain it on the battlefield?
While I was thinking wildly, people started shouting loudly again.
"Stars... sweat, stars are falling from the sky again, so many stars are falling!"
What? Huang Taiji was stunned, and quickly looked up. As soon as he looked at it, he was shocked - grandma, what day is it today? Why did you drop so many stars at once? Not to mention the Emperor Star, not even the General Star! There are dozens of them. How many generals will die?
"Bhan, the stars are falling towards us!"
"Hurry and protect the Khan!"
"Block the stars..."
The white-armored soldiers protecting Huang Taiji had already discovered a group of "stars" falling towards them! But they are also very loyal and brave. They actually want to block the stars and prevent them from crushing the Khan to death... This is not an empty shout. There are actually white-armored soldiers holding shields to protect the Khan, and some people take out bows and arrows. Shoot for the stars!
Want to shoot for stars? Huang Taiji almost made his subordinates happy. These white-armored soldiers were not weak in martial arts, but they were not good enough to shoot stars... That was what gods did!
"Boom boom boom..."
Just when a group of white-armored soldiers were about to shoot stars, some of the stars exploded. This scene was much more spectacular than the explosion of a rocket just now! This time at least a dozen rockets exploded together, and the sky above the camp of Hou Jin's army was filled with fire and thick smoke.
Just when the Jin army officers and soldiers were stunned by this scene, the rockets that had not exploded were still falling!
And they were not impartial, almost all of them fell into the camp of the Hou Jin Army!
Are the Rockets really that accurate?
of course! No matter how bad the accuracy of this kind of rocket is, it can still hit a huge Houjin Army camp 300 steps away! Because the camp is a large, approximately circular target, it is most suitable for rocket bombardment.
If Huang Taiji had chosen to form a formation to greet him today instead of sticking to any stronghold. This batch of Rockets isn't quite as accurate. This is because the impact point distribution shape of rockets is approximately circular, and it is most effective against crowded fixed targets. After the troops are deployed on the battlefield, they not only spread out relatively widely, but also usually form a line. Of course, the hit rate of the rockets is much lower.
Moreover, the troops deployed on the battlefield can move... Seeing where the enemy's Rocket Team will mainly land, it will be safe to stay away.
This is also the reason why Hongyi cannons, general cannons, and large-caliber mortar cannons that are not easy to move are of little use in field battles - no one will stand there stupidly waiting to be bombarded! Unless their actions are controlled by the enemy cavalry!
And Huang Taiji's Hou Jin Army was really unlucky... What can't be learned? Learn from the Ming Army and build a stronghold!
As a result, the hard camp encountered rocket launchers and was completely covered!
And that's not the most unlucky thing. The most unlucky thing about this hard-fortified post-Jin army is the pure horse team!
The rockets in the 17th century were really not very lethal. They could not kill many soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty who were protected by bunkers... Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty on the battlefield of Yinmaquan were all Manchurian elites and were not that brave. When I was young, I was scared when I saw stars falling from the sky - most people couldn't see the emperor stars or general stars, so what was there to be afraid of? And even if you are really scared, you are bound by military discipline, so you have to bear it no matter what!
But the problem is that the horses of the Hou Jin Army are timid! Isn’t there an idiom later called “as timid as a horse”? That’s what they are!
And these cowardly horses don't know anything about military discipline... They have never heard of any horse having its head chopped off for violating military discipline!
Therefore, when the sky was filled with fire and thunder, and when the rocket teams fell one after another and exploded around them, the timid horses of the Hou Jin Army began to get restless.
If the stronghold is not set up, the cavalry of the Hou Jin Army will be spread out widely, and their camp will be under the cover of their own cavalry, making it difficult for the enemy to find them. Even if it was discovered, it would be impossible to bombard it with 17th-century artillery and rocket launchers.
And the horses in the battle formation are not easily frightened because they are controlled by knights.
But now most of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Hou Jin Army have dismounted to fight, and in order to save the consumption of military rations, their coated minions have also withdrawn early and cannot watch the horses for them. So Huang Taiji asked people to gather the temporarily unused war horses, circle them in the camp, and send a small number of manpower to guard and care for them... As a result, the rockets roared down!
Because there is no combat mission, the timid horses of the Jin Army are busy doing their own things in the wooden fence. The stallions are looking for mares to ride, while the geldings are looking at the "horses riding" in confusion ( Can a horse be ridden? Can’t it be mounted?), while eating grass.
At this moment, the sky seemed to collapse!
It was a clear sky just now, but suddenly there was thunder rolling down from the sky?
This group of timid horses all raised their heads nervously, trying to figure out what was going on? But before they could figure it out, several rockets had already landed in the fence where they were kept, and then exploded!
This is amazing. The "sky thunder" fell among the horses, and there was a fire that frightened the horses, and there was a roar that frightened the horses. Oh, there were also a few particularly unlucky horses that were beaten by fragments from the rocket bombs. Wounded to death.
Of course the dead horses lay motionless, but the injured horses, stimulated by the desire to survive, neighed like crazy and ran away, trying to break out of the fence that blocked them...
The Eight Banners soldiers responsible for guarding the horses also wanted to stop these injured horses in order to control the entire horse herd. But at this moment, the second and third waves of rockets came one after another.
The rate of fire of rocket launchers is much faster than that of artillery. The former has fixed-loading ammunition, just put it on the launcher and ignite it!
Moreover, the launcher will not overheat and does not need to dissipate heat. As long as the rocket tube is enough, it can keep firing.
Wave after wave of rockets, dragging terrifying tail flames, roared towards the Jin Army's camp. Some exploded in the sky, and some fell into the Jin Army's camp!
The fire, thick smoke, roar and the neighing of frightened horses soon completely engulfed the Houjin Army's camp, giving both people and horses the illusion of being in a hell of fire.
At this time, the cowardly Marco in the fence completely lost control. He rushed out of the low wooden fence like crazy and ran rampant in the Houjin Army's camp!
Huang Taiji, who had just been helped off a frightened horse by several white-armored soldiers, was also a little confused... Of course he had already guessed that this scene was not God's fault, but what the Ming army was using. It's unethical to bring a smoking new firearm.
But isn’t this kind of firearm too powerful?
There is smoke and fire everywhere, and everything is frightening... How many people will be killed or injured?
Just when Huang Taiji was a little scared again, the Ming army's general attack had already begun!
After a violent sound of drums, the Ming army's shouts of killing suddenly started, covering up the roar of rocket explosions.
"Khan, I'm going to lose... let's go!"
I don't know who shouted something in Huang Taiji's ear. Huang Taiji immediately became angry and shouted: "Who dares to disturb the morale of our army?"
"It's a slave, Yanguli!"
Huang Taiji turned around and saw that it was Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner, and he was also Huang Taiji's most capable confidant Shumulu Yanguli.
Others say they are going to lose because they may confuse the morale of the army, but when Yanguli says he is going to lose, that means he is really going to lose.
"Yanguli...can Daijin be saved?" Huang Taiji was so confused that he actually asked such a question.
"Great Khan!" Yang Guli said angrily, "You have to cheer up! Daijin will not die... As long as you lead the big guys to escape from the sand nest, Daijin's vitality will be preserved!"
"Can you escape?" Huang Taiji doubted his life.
"Yes! I personally lead the dead soldiers to counterattack... buy some time for the Great Khan, take care of yourself, Great Khan!"
