The objects thrown are not heavy, this small trebuchet is completely sufficient, and the range is not low.
It's five to six hundred meters away.
There were many unlucky ones among the Yuan army who rushed in at extremely fast speeds, and their bodies were hit by oncoming objects.
Although it was not heavy, it was knocked off the horse.
Before he could recover, the Yuan army behind him had not yet reacted, and there were loud explosions.
Mud mixed with broken limbs and broken arms were splashed everywhere. The Yuan army rushing in front and the Yuan army behind were cut off halfway, and the formation was stagnant.
The thundering sound also frightened the horses of the Yuan army. The entire charging formation was startled by the explosion and was immediately thrown into chaos.
Gaobasi Timur looked along the sound of the explosion and saw that the forward of the Yuan army was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.
The smoke dissipated, the vanguard was gone, and only a handful of the Yuan troops who were charging forward were left. The ground was littered with broken limbs, proving that they had been here before.
Gao Ba Si Timur looked at the Ming army's trebuchet with tears in his eyes.
After all, it was originally going to be a head-to-head battle, and I thought it would be a 50-50 split at the very least.
After this violent bombardment, Gaobasi Timur was completely sober.
The clown was never someone else. If the Ming army dared to compete, they were naturally prepared.
These bursts of sound must be the legendary thunder.
Even though I had heard about it a long time ago, I was on guard. I didn't expect it to appear in this way at this time.
Regardless of sadness, he immediately issued the order.
"Hang the flag, spread out, continue charging, don't stop, it will be safe if you rush into the Ming army."
"yes."
Following Gaobasi Timur's order, the formation of the Yuan army became sparse and they launched another charge.
The merchants watching the battle only heard a loud explosion, and the charging Yuan army forward disappeared.
The timid one even collapsed to the ground in fear.
"It's so scary, it's so scary."
"With this artifact, why should I, the Ming Dynasty, be afraid of Xiao Xiao?"
All the merchants were immersed in shock and could not recover for a long time.
Only the merchant who came with Lin only changed his color slightly. He really felt the power of the thunder. After all, he had experienced it before and experienced it again, so he was mentally prepared.
Even so, there was still a slight chill in my heart.
As soon as the merchant calmed down, he saw the Yuan army charging again, but the formation had been greatly dispersed, and it was obvious that they had gained a little experience.
However, the Ming army's trebuchets continuously shot out sky-shaking thunderbolts, which fell into the Yuan army.
The sound of explosions was endless, and the incoming Yuan army was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the formation could no longer be maintained.
Only sparse Yuan troops continued to rush towards the Ming army.
Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, the distance is getting closer and closer.
The Yuan army's cavalry picked up their bows and arrows with anger, preparing to shoot a wave of them first.
However, the remaining two to three hundred steps were like a natural chasm, and they stopped there.
The improved version of the fire gun was officially launched. If there were a large number of Yuan troops rushing towards them, then these two hundred or so guns would be of no use at all, and they would only last one round.
But it's not enough to see the Yuan army rushing forward now.
As gunpowder smoke erupted from each gun, the Yuan troops who had a chance to rush forward fell to the ground one after another, like cutting wheat. They had no time to draw their bows and arrows.
The Ming army's fire rifle soldiers finished fighting in one row, and then followed them in a steady stream.
Because the gunpowder smoke was so large, it was shrouded in smoke and hazy.
But it doesn't matter. Talking about accuracy at this time is just a hooliganism. What you need is fire suppression. A blind cat will kill a mouse.
With this blow, the Yuan army could not break through the firepower coverage of the Ming army.
Gao Basi Timur looked straight at the Ming army formation at this time.
Are the Yuan soldiers afraid of death? The answer is obviously not, especially among this group of carefully selected Yuan soldiers.
However, under the double blow, the Yuan army still could not break through the firepower network formed by the Ming army.
As time passed, more and more Yuan troops rushed towards the Ming army, but they still could not rush in.
The distance is getting closer and closer, as if there is hope, but it is even more despairing.
The largest cavalry opponent expected did not take action, and the Yuan army had suffered heavy casualties.
No matter how arrogant he was, under this huge gap, Gao Ba Si Timur could not help but feel despair.
The charging Yuan army was even more so and almost collapsed.
But the order was not given, so they could only rush towards the Ming army's formation one after another.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, ten steps, and finally, as the first Yuan army rushed into the Ming army shrouded in gunpowder smoke.
One by two, without suppression, more and more Yuan troops rushed into the Ming army's defense line.
The Ming army gunner whose sight was blocked had no time to react and was cut to the ground with a knife.
The formation of the fire gun soldiers was in chaos.
However, they quickly dispersed and the trebuchets stopped ejecting and gave up their position.
The Ming army ran very fast, and there were not many Yuan troops rushing in, so the casualties were not very large.
As the smoke dissipated, the Yuan army that rushed forward completely occupied the positions of the Ming army's firecrackers and trebuchets.
Although I rushed in, it was of no use. Instead of a broad road, there were pits waiting for me. I don’t know when they were dug.
The Yuan army was caught off guard and suffered a hidden loss.
Then there was the vibrating sound of horses charging. It turned out that the Ming cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, launched the charge.
After the previous weakening of firepower, the Yuan army of 3,000 men was now less than half. Apart from the wounded soldiers wailing underground, the Yuan army that could really continue to charge was no more than 1,000 men, charging from the rear.
The superiority in military strength was fully demonstrated at this moment.
The sparse Yuan army was met head-on by the oncoming Ming army cavalry.
It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, let alone one against three.
The Ming army did not leave any backup at all, and all rushed forward in a swarm.
There is no suspense. If you can block one blow, you can't block the second one.
Chopping melons and vegetables, the Yuan army's cavalry was quickly killed.
One unit was left to finish, and the rest of the cavalry galloped away in the direction of Gaobasi Timur, the Yuan army camp.
The journey was smooth, and he soon arrived in front of Gaobasi Timur.
There is no nonsense, there is no need to hold anything back in this final battle, with the audience by your side.
Without giving Gao Ba Si Timur a chance to react, the Ming army was already approaching Gao Ba Si Timur.
Even though there are still wounded soldiers of the Yuan army left behind, the personal guards belonging to Gao Basi Timur are completely useless at this moment.
No one can stop this powerful army.
The strengths of the two parties are not proportional at all.
Gao Basi Timur, who knew he was helpless, also put down the weapon at this time.
At this moment, he no longer had the courage and pride to face death.
Some are just timid and eager to live.
After all, there is still a glimmer of life in being invited.
Seeing Gao Basi Timur put down his weapons, his personal guards and the Yuan army who were stubbornly resisting also put down their weapons.
The Ming army was somewhat unsatisfied. Looking at the surrendering Yuan army, they reluctantly dismounted and tied them up.
