However, these Ming cavalrymen, who were unable to escape and evacuate behind the barbed wire fence and trenches because they were at the forefront, did not flinch and continued to rush forward without hesitation.
These Ming cavalry were like small boats fighting against huge waves. In an instant, they were buried in the Polish cavalry camp that came like a tide.
Sudden!
With the sound of violent bombings, a huge golden light exploded, and the space of several meters in radius was blown into a black field. These Ming army cavalry completely disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Cizhuo couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw this scene.
Although he has long been accustomed to the cruelty of war, when he saw his comrades end their lives in this way, he still felt like someone had cut out his heart.
The huge explosion made Sobieski feel as if his eardrums were deafened, and his whole body seemed to have been hit with a stick, and he couldn't recover for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he found that in front of him, many corpses had fallen where the Ming army cavalry appeared, and a large crater was blown out, with countless horses lying there wailing.
Sobieski knew that these Ming cavalry chose to die together because they did not have time to withdraw.
He was shocked not only by the power of the explosives carried by these Ming army cavalry, but also by the bravery of these Ming army cavalry.
He didn't know what kind of belief could make these Easterners so willing to sacrifice themselves for the collective.
Sobieski began to feel a twinge of fear.
However, it was too late for him to make any decision because of the sudden fear in his heart. He and his army were like an arrow from the bow, and there was no room for turning back.
Sobieski had no choice but to continue rushing forward and control his mount to accelerate slowly. Not long after, he saw the dense barbed wire fence in front of him and the Ming army infantry hiding in the barbed wire fence.
Sobieski had to turn his horse around and break out from another direction.
He could guess that these Ming army infantry must have come well prepared, otherwise, they would not stop in front of his cavalry.
Sure enough, not long after he turned around, he heard explosions coming one after another from the side and front.
It turned out that the Polish hussars under his command who were charging towards the group of infantry triggered the mine before they had time to turn their horses' heads, and the people who were bombed were thrown off their backs.
The Ming army set up several lines of defense along the Dnieper River, and divided them into southern, western and northern lines according to their orientation.
The reason why there is no eastern front is because to the east is the Dnieper River.
Now, a large number of Ming troops are gathered on the south, west, and north lines.
Therefore, Sobieski soon discovered that no matter which direction he broke through, he would have to face the Ming army.
In the end, Sobieski had to grit his teeth and break out from one place.
While the Ming army used landmines to blow up a group of Polish hussars, they also began to continue the artillery bombardment. Howitzers and incendiary bombs rained down on the charging Polish hussars, causing many Polish hussars to die in the sea of fire. Or be blown to pieces.
at the same time.
The Polish hussars who were lucky enough to rush to the barbed wire fence were blocked by the barbed wire fence and were shot wildly by the Ming army infantry with muskets and rifled guns. At the same time, they were also bombarded by thunder and thunder flying from all over the sky. The Polish Hussars were swept down behind the barbed wire fence and gradually piled up into a hill.
Even those who rushed behind the barbed wire were blocked by huge trenches, and there were also Ming troops behind them to block them.
Therefore, in the end, the 120,000 Polish Hussars, who had been charging all afternoon, did not charge out. They gradually lost their courage and began to no longer dare to charge towards the continuous fire cannons.
For them, the Ming army in front of them really didn't know how to deal with it.
Although they think they are brave.
They once relied on holding lances and charging intensively, this method of exchanging lives for lives, and they were invincible against all kinds of cavalry in the East and West. Now they are really fighting against the Ming army composed of machine guns, rifled guns, rifled cannons and barbed wire. There was timidity in front of the defense line.
Sobieski was also surprised to find that compared with the Ming army, there was indeed a huge gap between his army and the Ming army. It seemed that they were no longer of the same era.
Because the casualties on his own side have exceeded one-third, and on the Ming army's side, except for the self-destruction accident of hundreds of Ming army cavalry who broke out immediately because of his timely response and did not withdraw immediately, there are currently no casualties.
what to do?
Sobieski stayed up all night, and the distant music from his hometown made him extremely sad.
He drew his knife angrily and wanted to kill the person singing his hometown song, but he found that the person singing his hometown song was not the people in his camp, but the Ming army on the opposite side, the Ming army behind the barbed wire.
At dawn the next day, Sobieski simply organized all his Polish Hussars and ordered them to break out in one direction.
Although these Polish hussars had begun to lose their fighting spirit, they knew that they were in a desperate situation and had no choice but to charge, so they still followed Sobieski's order and continued to forcefully break out.
But because the dense firepower network of the Ming army was too powerful, the Polish Hussars had no effect at all except increasing their own casualties.
Even next, Sobieski led his Polish Hussars to try to break through several times.
Still to no avail.
Therefore, several layers of human walls were piled up outside the barbed wire fence on the Ming army's side.
The increasingly desperate Sobieski had no choice but to retreat to the Dnieper River with more than half of his Polish Hussars.
The Ming army, on the other hand, began to take the initiative to attack after seeing that Sobieski and his Polish Hussars no longer took the initiative to break through.
The first to be mobilized was the Red Flame Army composed of Rakshasa serfs.
Before letting them set off, Zhu Cizhuo appealed: "Those of you who don't want to be suffering serfs, pick up your weapons now, bid farewell to weakness, become cruel, and kill all the bad guys who try to enslave you! Remember, Behind you is your own field, which is Moscow. You need to kill them all and let the red flames burn across the earth to get rid of their enslavement!"
As Zhu Cizhuo spoke, he drew his sword and pointed in the direction of the Dnieper River: "Now I order, rush over and kill all the Polish winged cavalry!"
At this time, doors made of barbed wire everywhere were slowly opened.
The Red Flame Army mobilized by Zhu Cizhuo, each holding a spear, rushed into the barbed wire fence and rushed towards the Polish Hussars.
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
These Red Flame Army soldiers, composed of serfs, have not yet been fully Chineseized, so they still shout local slogans when charging.
The morale is very high.
The Ming army successfully used class contradictions to make these Rakshasa serfs willing to serve as cannon fodder in the great cause of unification of the Ming Dynasty.
Not long after, the Red Flame Army composed of many Rakshasa serfs rushed towards the Polish winged cavalry.
After seeing this, the Polish hussars, who had lost their fighting spirit, hurriedly re-queued under the command of Sobieski and rushed towards these Rakshasa serfs.
The two sides therefore fought together.
While Sobieski was using all his strength to deal with the Rakshasa serfs who were stabbing him with spears, he couldn't help but cursed: "You hateful Rakshasa people, you are the Eastern devil who will destroy your country and nation. How can you do this?" They lost their lives! How can you betray your country!"
