The generals galloped on their horses, and after a while one large army separated from the main force of the Jiannu coalition and moved towards the wings and rear.
Regarding this scene, the moving Ming army seemed not to have seen it and continued to move forward slowly.
The main arrows of the crossbows pierced the void one after another, and they were concentrated to build the slave carriage. The power that could completely submerge the carriage in the past few days was no longer there, and they just made a dull impact and then fell to the ground.
Only a few can be inserted in, but they are less than half a foot deep.
The Jiannu generals laughed loudly at this scene, but the Ming army continued to advance without any impact.
Two miles away, it only took a quarter of an hour to arrive, and both sides seemed to be able to see the expressions on each other's faces.
Five hundred meters... four hundred meters... three hundred meters... The two parties are getting closer and closer.
boom!
boom!
boom!
Jiannu also began to attack, firing arrows from a large holding barrel and hitting the chariot. It was just like the Ming army's crossbow attacking their chariot just now, or even far worse.
"Hongyi cannon, attack!"
Beside Chongzhen's Luan Jia, Yuan Keli, who had been watching the movements of the battlefield, issued military orders.
The red-coated artillery sergeant, who had been preparing for a long time, quickly tore off the camouflage on the three-wheeled field artillery vehicles and ignited the fuses of the already loaded Hongyi cannons.
The Liaoxi generals who were watching the battle were stunned for a moment. They never expected that the Beidou army actually carried dozens of Hongyi cannons. The most important thing was that it did not affect the marching speed at all.
They thought that the fierce fire oil tank and the palm thunder were the trump cards in this battle, but it turned out that the mystery was officially revealed.
The Hongyi cannon spurted out tongues of fire, and stone bullets pierced the void and fell towards the Jiannu Union Army.
The Hongyi cannon's propellant used granulated gunpowder, and its range extended directly from the original two miles to three miles away, falling directly into the center of the Jiannu army.
Sixty red-coated cannons opened fire in unison, ten on each side and forty on the front.
The stone bullet fell into the crowd and hit the head directly. The whole head instantly shattered like a watermelon. The brain was mixed with plasma and sprayed out, leaving only the neck that was still spurting blood and intertwined canine teeth.
The one that hit the chest went directly through the person's chest, sending the whole person flying up and sending the sergeant behind him rolling.
The stone bullets from the Hongyi cannon bounce and injure people. If they touch someone, they will either die or be injured. They are basically the kind that cause serious injuries.
The most frightening thing was that a stone bullet landed less than ten meters away from Huang Taiji, almost frightening Huang Taiji who was still watching the battle and fell off his horse.
"Hongyi Cannon?"
"Where did the Ming army get the Hongyi cannon?"
"How come there are so many?"
In just an instant, Huang Taiji judged that it was the red cannon.
From the Ming Army's Northern Expedition to the Liaohe River, although he occasionally felt angry, he remained calm. Even the last time the Ming Army killed 70,000 sergeants, he was not afraid at all.
But at this moment, he was really scared.
His father Khan was injured by the fragments of the Hongyi cannon during the Battle of Guangning, which then caused gangrene and died of the disease at Longenmen Chicken Fort in Kuei Fuling.
In the Battle of Quang Ninh, 17,000 Dajin warriors were killed. It was the biggest setback Dajin suffered since his father Khan raised his army.
The most important thing is that this thing is uncertain. The range and impact point of each shell are unpredictable. No one knows whether the next one will kill him.
"Send the order, the heavy cavalry will attack with all their strength, use jade-breaking tactics, go straight to the location of the Hongyi cannon, and destroy the Hongyi cannon!"
"Send the order, light artillery move forward, attack regardless of losses!"
After the panic, Huang Taiji's face was full of ruthlessness and he gave the order to attack with all his strength.
Judging from the previous estimates, the firing range of the Hongyi cannon is at least three to four miles away. In other words, more than half of the troops of the three-party coalition of Dai and Jin are within the range of the Hongyi cannon.
Just now the Ming army moved forward as a whole, and the Hongyi cannon also moved forward. This shows that the Hongyi cannon can move quickly.
If they retreat, the Ming army will definitely pull the Hongyi cannon to follow them. No matter how fast they run, can they be as fast as the shells of the Hongyi cannon?
This place is still dozens of miles away from Liaoyang City. The Ming army is chasing them with dozens of Hongyi cannons. The consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
A shrill and harsh sound sounded, and the faces of the carriages and heavy cavalry were full of determination.
Jiannu's carriage suddenly started moving rapidly from a standstill and rushed towards the Ming army's chariot, as if it was going to perish together with the chariot.
Only by ramming the Ming army's chariots can their cavalry charge, can the Hongyi cannon be destroyed, and the sergeants not be threatened.
Two hundred meters... one hundred and fifty meters... one hundred meters..., the cavalry a hundred meters behind the carriage accelerated, and bows and arrows filled the sky.
Looking at the accelerating heavy cavalry, Chongzhen said softly: "Yuan Aiqing, it seems that Huang Taiji's reaction is as you guessed. He is indeed attacking with all his strength and wants to destroy the Hongyi cannon."
"Your Majesty, the power of the Hongyi Cannon is that it has a long range. The disadvantage is that there is nothing you can do within the range. As long as you are within the range, it is much safer.
Even if they can run back to Liaoyang, dozens of cannons will be aimed at the city gate and fired flatly. If one round doesn't work, then ten or twenty rounds will be fired.
As long as the city gate is broken, it will be useless even if they use the people on the city wall as a shield. Huang Taiji naturally understands this truth. "
"It's a pity that my wishful thinking was wrong. This is just an appetizer!"
Chongzhen chuckled, and then his smile gradually turned cold: "Now that they are here, let them try the fire coverage and see if they can kill more than half of the troops directly."
The flag is turned and military orders are conveyed.
When Jiannu's chariot was still eighty meters away from the Ming army, thunderbolts were thrown out from behind the Ming army's chariot, like rain falling from the sky.
After falling on the chariot, the chariot basically fell into pieces. Even with the addition of two layers of iron plates, it was still essentially a mortise and tenon structure, which could not block the bombardment of the palm mine.
In just one round of attacks, all the proud carriages were blown up, and no soldier on the carriages survived. A vacuum appeared twenty meters behind the carriages, revealing the densely packed Jiannu sergeants behind them.
Faced with such a tragic situation, Jiannu's heavy cavalry did not pause at all. They still whipped their horses fiercely and rushed towards the Ming army desperately.
Without the suppression of the carriage, the cavalry was faster.
More than 10,000 heavy cavalry dressed in black and armed with long guns charged forward with an indomitable momentum. The entire ground made a rumbling sound, covering up the sound of flintlock guns and Franco machine guns.
A hundred meters away, the lead of flintlock guns and Franco machine guns hit them, sparks flew out, but they still could not stop the cavalry's advance.
If the palm thunder does not fall within two meters of the heavy cavalry, it will basically not cause much damage.
Seeing such a fierce heavy cavalry and the sense of oppression it brought for the first time, Chongzhen suddenly said: "Black cavalry?"
