Watching the smoke rising straight into the sky.
Yi Wudi by the bridge breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Deputy Wu Qianhu, immediately take two hundred brothers to cut down trees and place them in front of us to prevent the enemy from charging. We must be fast!"
"Deputy Zhao Qianhu, immediately lead the army to arrange according to the three-line warfare method!"
"The last general takes command!"
The two left immediately.
Before Yi Wudi could take a breath, a member of the Hundred Households came up and whispered: "Master Qianhu, thirty-one people died in the Feixiong camp, and five hundred and sixty-eight slaves died.
Here are two Niu Lu. According to the establishment of slaves, there should be thirty-two people who escaped! "
"Um!"
Yi Wudi nodded, his expression cold, but he sighed in his heart.
With thirty-one battle losses, nearly six hundred elite members of the Jiannu were wiped out. The battle loss was one to twenty. This is a number that can be counted in history, although it relied on the advantage of firearms.
Then again, if you use three-eye fire charge or palm thunder instead of charge in the end, the battle damage can be reduced by at least half.
But he couldn't, they were the warrior camp, the last line of defense around the emperor.
The biggest reliance is oneself. Only blood and war can build a strong army. If we don’t train now, then when will we?
Nor can sergeants develop the habit of relying on firearms, because at the last line of defense, an unlimited supply of firearms cannot be guaranteed.
Although cruel, there is no other way!
After sighing, Yi Wudi looked at the three-line battle formation and began to patrol.
A few miles away, Cao Bianjiao, who saw the smoke, had already made preparations. In front of him were the elite warrior battalions who followed the three-line warfare method and held blunderbuss. They were all staring at the mountain pass.
The three-eyed fire rush was given to the Feixiong Camp, while the bird cannons of the Feixiong Camp and the Panshi Camp were given to the Hubao Camp. The warriors of the Hubao Camp almost had three bird cannons in their hands.
Da da……
The sound of dense horse hooves gradually came closer, and through the mountain pass, one could vaguely see the galloping Jiannu cavalry.
"Prepare!"
…
"attack!"
Hundreds of tongues of fire spurted out, and lead pellets were fired at the Jiannu cavalry under the influence of gunpowder.
The effective range of the bird gun is about forty feet, while the effective range of the Jiannu bow and arrow is about thirty feet.
Coupled with the resistance within twenty feet of the warrior camp's excellent armor, the middle twenty feet is the best shooting time for the warrior camp.
Youdao is a place where only three shots can be fired at the moment of battle. The distance of twenty feet is enough for the Hawpar Battalion to complete three to four shots.
"Bow, arrow, throw!"
Looking at the Ming army waiting outside the mountain pass, Dorgon shouted.
In an instant, the galloping Jiannu cavalry changed around, took off the bow from the horse, nocked the arrow and shot, with smooth and neat movements.
A dense rain of arrows passed through a space of tens of feet and fell on the warrior camp. The arrows fell diagonally from the sky and hit the armor of the warrior camp, making a thumping sound.
But with such a dense amount of arrows, the reaction of the shooting Haw Par Battalion was like rain.
Tongues of flames spurted out, and a famous Jiannu cavalryman was hit and fell off his horse. The horse hit by the lead jumped around in pain, knocking the fallen cavalry away and trampling him to death!
The formation of the forward charge was slightly chaotic, and the charge speed also slowed down.
Dorgon was stunned by such a scene. He did not expect that the elite firearms of the three thousand Ming army would be so dense.
In just one encounter, dozens of Dajin soldiers died in battle.
"Reporting to Dorgon Beile, we were attacked by an unknown number of elite Ming troops and the Shiqiao bridge in Daichuan was lost.
Jibuha and Dabuli had already died in the battle, and only twenty or thirty of us took advantage of the chaos to escape and report the news. "
"What? The stone bridge was lost?"
Dorgon was shocked. That stone bridge was the only place for the army to retreat. Fan Wencheng said that if the people are on the bridge, the bridge will be there.
But now that Shiqiao has been lost, the first goal cannot be completed? What to do if the army retreats?
Rebuilding a bridge or taking a detour will take a lot of time. In this case, even a quarter of an hour's delay will be fatal.
"Continue the attack, rush over, join up with Longjing Pass, wait for the army to retreat, and attack the Ming army in the middle with the army?
Or should we retreat first, occupy the stone bridge, or build a new bridge, wait for the army to arrive, and then attack Longjing Pass after joining the army? "
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Dorgon's mind, and he made a decision in an instant.
"Brothers, continue to attack. As long as we rush into their formation, their firearms will be useless. Victory will definitely belong to us. Charge!"
Looking at Jiannu who was preparing to continue charging, Cao Bianjiao immediately said: "Mount your horse and prepare to attack!"
The order was given, and except for the front row of sergeants who did not move, the rest of the sergeants all turned around and retreated in neat lines.
Dorgon was a little confused when he saw this scene. Just because of this, he wanted to stop his cavalry?
Dream on!
But the loss of Shiqiao and the weapons just released by the Ming army made him feel a little uneasy.
The order to charge had been given, but no matter how uneasy he was, he could not give the order to stop the attack again.
"Prepare!"
"Throw!"
Looking at the approaching sergeant Jiannu, Cao Bianjiao shouted angrily. The sergeant in the front row turned around and grabbed a dark object, lit it on the torch on the side, and then threw it out.
One after another, black objects puffed out black smoke and fell into the charging team of slaves.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Palm mines exploded in the Jiannu team one after another.
The smoke and dust filled the air like a layer of mist, adding a bit of coldness.
Rocks and broken limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood fell from the air like raindrops, washing away the smoke and dust in the air.
The war horse was hit by the lead and began to neigh and jump because of the pain. No matter how the cavalry on its back tried to comfort and control it, it could not calm down and made the already chaotic formation even more chaotic.
The sergeant screamed in pain because he was hit and fell off his horse. He was trampled and knocked away by the crazy horse, and then crashed into other cavalry.
Like a domino, it triggered a chain reaction and the entire team was in chaos.
The combination of various sounds is definitely a "feast" for the ears and the eyes.
However, there were still some elite Jiannu who were not afraid of death and continued to attack the warrior camp despite the exploding palm mines. Unfortunately, they were all killed by the bows and arrows of the warrior camp.
In this situation, even Dorgon had no choice but to order the central and rear troops to retreat.
Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao waved his hand, and several trebuchets were sent out. The ignited thunderbolts crossed a distance of fifty or sixty feet and fell towards Jiannu.
I don’t know whether it was due to a trebuchet problem, a lead problem, or other factors, but the thunder exploded when it landed on the heads of the Jiannu team.
The amount of gunpowder in the Thunderbolt is ten times that of the Thunderbolt in the Palm, but its power is not as simple as a simple superposition of ten times.
The explosion was truly like winter thunder, especially in the mountains, where the sound was more like a rumbling echo.
The war horses in the Warrior Battalion that had undergone daily firearms explosion training were a little restless at the moment, their hooves kept digging at the ground, and they made a low sound.
Not to mention Jiannu's war horses, the originally quiet team became chaotic again.
