Then he said loudly: "These Mongolian bastards actually learned the methods of our ancestors to scare people! Do they think we can't tell when they light two torches each? They are so stupid!"
Officers at all levels quickly passed on Liu Haojia's words, which immediately caused a burst of laughter among the soldiers! The soldiers also felt that there was something wrong with the thinking of these Mongolians, and they actually compared their brains with the Han people! Therefore, the power that Haqi had painstakingly built was wiped out in just one sentence from Liu Haojia!
But Hutch didn't know this. He felt that he would definitely scare his opponent, so he launched the attack with confidence!
This time the cavalrymen who rushed forward lay on their horses and held up a huge shield to protect their horses and themselves. Others were also holding crude wooden shields around them. It seems that he wanted to use this large wooden shield to block the lead bullets!
But this is simply wishful thinking! Faced with this situation, the officers of the Wu'an Army were well prepared and did not take this tactic seriously at all! The wooden shield is large and can stop lead bullets no problem. But can it stop a cannonball? You, a cavalryman, have a big target, and you are holding up such a big wooden shield. Are you afraid that I can't see you?
So before the cavalry could get closer, the artillery fired first! Moreover, Liu Haojia concentrated most of the artillery on the front. Now there are 50 artillery pieces on the north wall of the village divided into two groups to fire in turns. How can the cavalry rush over!
The cannonball hit the wooden shield, and the wooden shield instantly shattered. The cavalryman was lucky enough to be directly pierced through the chest by the artillery, and was killed directly! Unlucky enough, both of his arms were broken, and he fell to the ground wailing with wounds all over his body from flying wooden thorns! So these three rows of cavalry holding huge shields were beaten to pieces without even playing any role!
The cavalry in the back row were too superstitious about giant shields, so they followed closely! This fully unleashes the lethality of solid artillery shells! Basically, each shell can take away the lives of at least two people! Even after landing, you still have to take one or two horse legs with you! It can be said that these Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy losses!
Especially after the musketry soldiers started shooting, rows of lead bullets shot down the cavalrymen and horses in droves! Some cavalrymen actually blocked the lead bullets with their wooden shields, but the shock also left half of their arms numb! Then he was killed by the second lead bullet! Some of them were even more unlucky to sit still, and were directly knocked off their horses by the impact of lead bullets, and died without a burial place!
However, since it was still dark at this time, the artillery could only fire when the Mongolian cavalry appeared under the light of the fire, so the shooting distance was relatively short. This gives them a chance to rush over! But just as the Mongolian cavalry was approaching the wall, some people were throwing flying claws at the wall, and some were rushing towards the baggage vehicles, those artillery carriages disguised as baggage vehicles finally showed their power! Read the book
The impatient artilleryman who had been waiting stretched out his hand to open the gun window, and the other two soldiers worked together to push the cannon, extend the muzzle and fix the cannon on the cart. Then the gunner lit the fuse of the artillery!
These artillery pieces are filled with shotgun shells. Once fired, a barrage will form within 50 steps and sweep across, beating the entire cavalry at the front of the battlefield into a sieve!
But this is not the end! The Fo Lang machine gun has a total of five muskets! I saw an artilleryman twisting and pulling, and the empty gun was pulled out! The artilleryman who had been prepared nearby filled the next musket and installed it, and another person inserted the fuse and was ready to shoot!
The artillerymen's smooth movements took less than three seconds, but this was enough for the Mongolian cavalry to once again approach the place in front of them where corpses were littered! As a result, before they could break out of the last cavalry casualty range, the second round of artillery started again!
In this way, the fast-loading Folang machine gun just fired like a round of fire, and the entire wall of the village was filled with the sound of artillery fire! Dense lead bullets swept across the battlefield over and over again, knocking down the Mongolian cavalry at the front one after another. In an instant, the front of the battle array turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Seeing this scene, the three gunmen didn't care about anything else and shouted almost at the same time: "Retreat! Retreat! Get back quickly!"
But without them saying hello, the Mongolian cavalry in the van had already retreated! They have been frightened to death by the dense artillery in front! And when they turned around and ran back, Wu'an's army chased and fired three rounds of firecrackers and one round of artillery fire!
Wait until the sound of gunfire and artillery stops
At that time, except for the groaning wounded, there was no moving Mongolian on the battlefield!
When the troops withdrew, Hutch and the other three were so distressed that they almost cried! At a rough glance, Hutch's loss alone was close to 300 people. Hutch's troops were in the center, which was the focus of artillery care, so he had the largest number of casualties among his tribe!
Moreover, many of the people who escaped back were injured, and many were even seriously injured and only came back with a sigh of relief! Hatch watched as a cavalryman fell off his horse, clutching his stomach and died before he could catch his breath!
After the cavalry fell off his horse, he seemed to have set an example. Many people fell off their horses one after another! Although some people went to rescue them and help bandage their wounds, people kept dying!
The three of Hutch felt miserable when they looked at these cavalry! They know that although these people cannot die now, they will not escape death when they return to the tribe! Even if you are lucky enough to survive, I'm afraid it will be useless! This time I didn’t eat the mutton, but I got a lot of trouble! More than 30% of the tribal elites are wasted here!
As for Ansge's tribe, which is much smaller than Hutch's tribe, this loss makes them even more distressed! Bahunai simply made up his mind and said loudly: "We can't continue the fight! If we continue to fight, even if we fill in all the men in the tribe, we won't be able to break through the Ming army's camp. This Ming army is too evil!"
Hutch looked at Ansger and saw that he nodded in agreement, so he ordered to retreat. And as expected, these Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind. They hurriedly checked all the wounded, and directly stabbed the seriously injured ones. Then they tied the dead bodies and the wounded to their horses, and quickly retreated to the north in the darkness before dawn.
At this time, the Wu'an Army soldiers in the camp were cheering loudly to vent their pride and fear! Especially the artillerymen received special care from the infantry! A pat on the head, a slap on the back, and a punch in the chest! They expressed their love for the artillerymen in that rough way, beating the artillerymen until they screamed, but there was pride in their screams!
The soldiers were laughing and joking for a moment before they were interrupted by the officers. The officers directed them to adjust their weapons and adjust the walls of the village. Then send people outside to cut off the heads and kill the dead horse. It's a lot of work!
