The rumble of horse hooves was loud and powerful.
The scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charging together is absolutely mammoth.
at any time in history.
Thousands of cavalry are thrown into the battle, and it is a battle that will overwhelm the country.
Even if more than 10,000 infantrymen formed a tight formation, it would be difficult to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry.
What's more, the row of Ming troops on the trench?
This one is worth the gamble!
Master Lin Ning pressed it down in one fell swoop.
When Peng Jun saw this scene, he felt like a big pie fell from the sky.
Tens of thousands of riders!
Tens of thousands of Eight Banners cavalry!
Since the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been many battles in which tens of thousands of people were killed by the Qing army.
But was there ever a battle in which tens of thousands of Eight Banners were killed at once?
No!
The Qing Tartars used the Eight Banners to suppress the Han soldiers when fighting in the pass.
When I find anything wrong, I run away as soon as possible.
And now outside the customs.
There are not many Han people in total.
They can only do it themselves.
This gave Peng Jun a chance.
"The great achievement that has never been achieved since my emperor raised his army must be attributed to me, Peng Jun!"
Peng Jun was overjoyed.
Everyone knows that Emperor Zhu has a good temper and is easy to get along with.
Therefore, no one is afraid of having great achievements and shocking the master.
What's more, Emperor Zhu is the successor of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
Fame and righteousness are in hand.
Why is he afraid that the people below him will be so successful that they will shock the Lord?
Moreover, the Ming army's system, no matter how high your skills are, can't shake the master. The following group of officers are all from the Army and Navy Officers Academy.
Promotion and wealth depend on military merit and ability, not on promotion by generals - officer promotions are all managed by the Generalissimo's Office.
The Ming army acted in accordance with regulations, and staff officers at all levels assisted the military commanders in commanding operations.
There is no need to worry about the soldiers not knowing the generals or the generals not knowing the soldiers.
Therefore, no matter how high your gong is, it cannot shake the Lord.
What's more, Peng Junzhi is not in the army, he is aiming at the position of prime minister.
So now that the pie was smashed, he was a little unbelievable.
"Get ready, fire all the cannonballs, these are the real Eight Banners!"
Peng Jun ordered loudly.
"Attention all! 100 steps! Free fire! 30 steps! Throw grenades!"
Inside the trenches.
Luo Jinyue shouted loudly.
When the cavalry charges, it is difficult for the artillery to stop them because the cavalry is too fast.
Only the momentum of their charge was blocked.
Cannonballs can exert their power.
That's when he shouted the order.
The vanguard of the charging cavalry had suddenly crashed into the barbed wire fence with triangular nails.
The thick wooden stakes were dug deeply into the soil, and the iron wire was very tough, and it was not something that horses could break through easily.
Immediately, a horse hit the barbed wire fence, tilting the wooden stake slightly, and the iron nails pierced the horse's hide. The horse couldn't help but jump back suddenly in pain, knocking the knight on the horse to the ground.
The horses behind them were like cars on the highway rear-ending each other, and soon they were huddled together under the barbed wire fence.
Can't jump over it.
The stakes couldn't be pulled out for a while.
Bumping and bumping.
These Eight Banners soldiers who rushed up on horseback didn't know what to do at all.
The whistling bullets came whistling.
An Eight Banners soldier became a fixed target without any cover.
Sieved by precise rifle bullets.
It can be said that the gun hit the flesh, blood spattered, and the screams were overwhelming.
'what is this! '
'Is it wire? '
"And there are barbs!"
"I can't get through it!"
"Why are Han people so wicked!"
"What should I do? I can't advance, I can't retreat, I can only hold on and get beaten!"
A group of Eight Banners panicked.
The Eight Banners soldiers in front were beaten to death by the dense bullets.
The Eight Banners cavalry following the charge did not stop the car. A large number of cavalry huddled together under the barbed wire fence and were beaten to the point of screaming and suffering heavy casualties.
Right now.
The Ming army's artillery roared again.
Every shell fired.
It can take away the lives of a piece of Eight Banners cavalry.
The fingers of Lin Ning, who was watching the battle with a telescope behind her, turned white.
I felt so distressed that I almost shed tears.
This is the real Eight Banners.
It's really not easy to raise one.
Baqi originally married late and had children late. He also traveled around a lot and had no time to hold hands with his wives.
It would take at least ten years for Lian Xian to grow up enough to kick a knife and go into battle.
Now he is being treated as a living target.
One shot will kill them all.
This is the way to die.
How long can you die?
I'm afraid the Eight Banners will be wiped out soon.
"Quickly retreat! This is the way to die, how long can you stop!"
Jilin general Baolin jumped to her feet anxiously and shouted to retreat.
Lin Ning was gritting her teeth.
retreat?
So those Eight Banners soldiers just died in vain?
It's just a barbed wire fence, and it can be piled over with piles of corpses!
Can't retreat!
To retreat now would be to waste all the previous efforts.
"We can't retreat! So many people have died, and the barbed wire fence is useless!"
Lin Ning pointed forward and saw only the corpses of war horses and some Eight Banners soldiers hanging on the barbed wire. They quickly finished pressing the wires, and the horse corpses and human corpses were pressed against the barbed wire to form a passage.
Let the Eight Banners cavalry break through the passage of this hateful barbed wire fence.
"Rush! Rush over!"
"Can't retreat!!"
Under the strict orders of the Eight Banners officers behind.
The Eight Banners cavalry in the rear seemed like a blocked flood.
finally.
There was a bang.
The levees holding back the flood suddenly collapsed.
A large number of cavalry poured out from the gap.
"Breakthrough!"
Mikhail breathed a sigh of relief.
Barbed wire.
The Russian Empire also needs this thing!
If only we could arrange more barbed wire fences.
I'm afraid that if we want to break through, we will need to increase our troop strength several times.
Barbed wire, trenches, rifled guns, bombardment guns, grenades.
How can we break through such a defensive position?
Mikhail frowned and thought for a long time.
Unless there is a shield that can withstand the bombardment.
otherwise
I am afraid that in the future, the armies of various countries will become turtle soldiers hiding behind barbed wire trenches.
Thinking that future wars are likely to become invincible defenses based on a defensive system composed of trenches and barbed wire.
Mikhail frowned.
This means that the price to pay for expansion will be unprecedentedly high.
Any country can be invincible in defense as long as it has a short and capable army.
But relatively speaking.
It seems that the Russian Empire no longer needs to worry about the Ming Empire's attack.
As long as the Russian Empire also has barbed wire, rifled guns, bombardment cannons, grenades.
It seems that they can defend the vast territory of Asia with a small army.
fortunately.
Fortunately, the Russian Empire completed its expansion to the limit before the advent of this damn invincible turtle-style army tactic.
Mikhail felt happy for a moment.
He did see a military revolution.
But for the Ming Empire, which triggered this military revolution.
This military revolution that is more beneficial to the defender does not seem to have much benefit to them.
Because as a newly rising empire.
The cost of their expansion will be huge.
but
The countries in this part of Asia may not be able to quickly complete this round of military revolution at a speed that can keep up with the expansion of the Ming army.
The Russian Empire also needs to hurry up.
these equipment.
It is something that the Russian Empire also wants to have.
but
These equipment seem to cost a lot of money.
Mikhail thought.
"Actually charging directly?" Peng Jun was also surprised, "It seems that the Eight Banners of Manchuria still has some courage."
"Then we can't let them go back alive!"
Chen Jianhui said in a cold voice.
"That's right, send the order, all units enter the position and kill the enemy with firepower!"
"yes!"
With the order given.
More intensive artillery fire fell.
One hundred steps.
For the cavalry of the Eight Banners, it was a road of blood and tears.
Shells fell like raindrops.
The Eight Banners cavalry that rushed in from the gap were blown to pieces.
After paying the price in blood.
finally.
The cavalry of the Eight Banners rushed to a distance of only thirty-four steps from the Ming army's trench.
They could even clearly see the facial features of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were lying on the trench with their helmets on and aiming and shooting.
Finally rushed over!
What supports the belief of the Eight Banners cavalry is that the cavalry rushed to the Ming army's trenches. With the impact of the cavalry, the thin layer of trenches must be vulnerable!
Right now.
The Ming army officers on the trenches roared loudly.
"Throw a grenade!!"
Suddenly.
Thick grenades rained down from the sky.
Many charging cavalry were knocked off their horses.
But this was certainly not enough to stop the cavalry charge.
What really turned the distance from the Ming army's trenches into an insurmountable gap.
It was an extremely dense explosion!
Boom boom boom 1
The explosion of dense grenades completely shattered the hopes of the Eight Banners Cavalry.
Under such intensive firepower bombardment.
The front of the trench that once gave the Eight Banners cavalry hope.
"Withdraw! We can't fight!"
"These are all our children of the Eight Banners!"
"We can't just die like this!"
"The blood will drain out!"
A group of high-level officials from the Eight Banners outside Guanwai in the rear burst into tears when they saw this scene.
Lin Ning's hands and feet were also cold. He knew that, let alone not winning this fight, even if he did win, he would be a sinner of the Qing Dynasty.
At least tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers died in this battle!
Who would have thought.
It's in front of the trench.
So many people could die!
This is completely filled with human lives.
In fact, Lin Ning was lucky.
The Ming army did not have machine guns and could only rely on artillery, front-loading rifles, and grenades to cause damage.
If the Ming army had machine guns.
In front of such a trench.
It is possible for hundreds of thousands of people to die in one day.
Trench, machine gun.
That was the form of horrific war that once killed a generation in Europe.
Although France won the First World War, a generation of French men died, so that by the time of World War II, the French were still immersed in the horrific memories of World War I, and they raised their hands soon after.
Just when the commanders of the Eight Banners outside the Pass watched the blood of the Eight Banners was about to be drained in front of the Ming army's front.
A burst of basic footsteps sounded.
Soon I heard someone running in, rolling and crawling.
"It's not good! It's not good! Ni Ming has landed on Huludao!"
Lin Ning was stunned.
Then he reacted quickly.
"Oops! Jinzhou is in danger!"
If the Ming army breaks through Jinzhou, they will immediately reach Shanhaiguan.
Break through the barrier and enter the city of Beijing!
The Qing Dynasty is in danger!
