Tsk...the sound of the lightning fuse burning in the palm;
Whoosh...the sound of the palm thunder cutting through the void and the sound of dust flying after being thrown;
Boom...the dull sound of palm mines exploding in the trench;
These were the three most common sounds in the entire slave camp in the next half hour.
The consumption of 20,000 palm mines occupied the 800-meter-long Jiannu coalition position.
The sky was filled with dust and smoke, and burning corpses and broken wood could be seen everywhere, showing the cruelty of war.
On the watchtower, Li Ruolian climbed up: "Your Majesty, Ma Xianglin's troops have forced the Jiannu coalition forces guarding the pontoon back to Moon Island, and blew up the pontoon between Moon Island and Daming. The retreat of the Jiannu has been completely blocked. It’s blocked!”
"good!"
Chongzhen nodded and looked at Sun Yuanhua: "How is the inspection of the flying thunder cannon?"
"Return to Your Majesty, it can be used again!"
"Okay, then let's continue the attack with the thunder cannon, let the Thunder Camp rest, and then replace them after a wave of bombings!"
"I obey the decree!"
After Yuan Keli responded, he began to issue military orders.
The offensive formation behind the chariot changed again, and with the waving of the command flag, nearly a thousand flying thunder cannons started firing volleys again.
The Jiannu coalition forces, who were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, could only evade again.
Two thousand sergeants holding flintlock guns entered the trench, followed the thunder cannons, and cleaned the trench after the bombing!
Ten meters...thirty meters...eighty meters...
The battle line was advancing rapidly. Let alone attacking, the slave-building coalition forces could not even take effective precautions and could only retreat step by step.
Thousands of cannons fired in unison, and the flying thunder cannons with ignited fuses streaked through the void like thunder and fire, and exploded intensively. The earth was shaking, and the sky seemed to be burning.
Artillery fire and gunpowder smoke intertwined, tearing apart Jiannu's defense line composed of flesh and blood, and then destroyed it.
Yes, this was an unprecedented war feat. Even if all the Shenji Battalion at the peak of the Ming Dynasty were deployed, there would not be one tenth of the scene at this moment.
The battle line was compressing back step by step, and the soldiers of the slave-building coalition in the trenches were getting denser and denser.
In the trench, the sergeants of the Slavery Alliance Army quickly retreated and avoided being pursued by flying thunder cannons.
At the critical moment of life and death, the selfish side of human nature is highlighted, and people will do anything to survive.
"Run, run quickly!"
"Fuck you, hide now!"
"Don't come over, this cave belongs to us!"
"If you squeeze a little more, you won't miss me!"
"Get out... I can't squeeze in anymore, I really can't squeeze in anymore!"
"Damn it, if you don't let me hide, I will be blown up to death, so don't think about it, we will all die together!"
…
I scolded my mother a lot when I was digging, and I regret it now.
Originally, a cave could hide three or four people, but in the end, eight or nine people were crammed in. As a result, a thunder bomb fell, killing those outside and burying those inside alive.
Sometimes they would fight and kill each other over a cave, and then block the bodies of their former companions outside the cave.
The idea is good, but how could the Ming army miss it?
Regardless of whether they are already dead, half-dead, or hiding, all of them need to be replenished with two cuts to ensure that the dead cannot die again.
Broken limbs and blackened potholes can be seen everywhere where the battle formation passes.
After bombarding for an hour and a half, the Ming army advanced nearly three miles towards the Jiannu camp and had already approached the earthen wall in front of the Chinese camp.
As long as they cross the earth wall, the cavalry in the Chinese camp will be completely exposed to the Ming army's firearms.
The top brass of the three-party coalition were huddled in a small hole three meters underground, with gloomy expressions on their faces and bitterness on their lips.
They never expected that the Ming army would reserve so many firearms and bombard them continuously for a whole morning.
Although they did not die too many sergeants, they did kill the camp in front. If the Ming army continued to attack, the casualties in the back would be absolutely heavy because the personnel were too dense.
Once the tens of thousands of war horses are frightened, they themselves will suffer heavy casualties without the Ming army continuing to attack.
Masayuki Hoshina whispered: "Tian Conghan, we can't stop it anymore, retreat!"
"Where to retreat?"
"No news has come back from the hundreds of scouts we sent. The Ming army has blocked the surrounding area, and we don't know what's going on!"
At this moment, Huang Taiji no longer has the confidence and strategizing he had before, and is only sad.
Even though Dajin and Mongolian cavalry were unparalleled in the world, they were unable to face the Ming Dynasty.
From the beginning of the war, it was led by the Ming army.
The biggest advantages of cavalry are three points, one is mobility, the other is impact, and the third is mounted shooting.
But these three major advantages were a joke in front of the Ming army. The east bank of the Liao River and outside Liaoyang City were all plain areas, which were most suitable for cavalry movements. However, the Ming army had laid mines and thousands of firearms for defense, and it was impossible to defend them. Maneuver.
The only maneuver is to retreat and escape.
Without mobility, let alone impact and mounted shooting, the Tiger Crouching Cannon and Folang Machine Cannon had a range of hundreds of meters. Before the bow and arrow could be fired, they were directly shot by the Ming army.
As for the impact, even the heavy cavalry could not withstand the bombardment of the Ming army's artillery.
They also tried to harass the Ming army, but they were still far away from the Ming army camp, so they stepped on a mine and exposed themselves.
It can be said that since the start of this battle, the Ming army has restrained every step. Although the opponent has very few cavalry, they have suppressed their 200,000 cavalry with firearms.
"Retreat to the northeast!"
The corner of Yagyu Munomitsu's mouth was full of bitterness, but he still spoke: "To the west is the Yalu River, to the south is the sea, and to the east is the Qingchuan River two hundred miles away.
The average water depth of the 300-meter-wide river is one and a half meters, and the water depth in the center is four to five meters. We people don’t know the nature of water, and we don’t have time to build a floating bridge.
Even if you cross the Cheongchon River and reach Pyongyang City, it will be useless to defend Pyongyang.
This kind of firearm of the Ming army can easily smash the city wall, we have become a turtle in the urn, and the cavalry has completely lost its advantage.
We can only withdraw to the northeast and look for opportunities to charge the Ming army in the opposite direction during the retreat. If we can capture some firearms, we can still deal with the Ming army and look for opportunities in the movement! "
"We can think of it, and the Ming army can also think of it. There are Jiangnan Mountains and Diyuoling Mountains in the northeast, and there is only one road in between. There must be a large army to intercept them, and it is a hilly area, which is not conducive to the maneuver of the cavalry!"
"The interceptions are certain, but the number is not estimated to be too many."
Yagyu Munomi shook his head: "The Ming army's northern attack force, including the original Liaoxi, Mao Wenlong, and Ma Xianglin divisions, only has more than 200,000 troops.
Now that Ma Xianglin is on the other side, excluding those responsible for guarding Xinmin, Kangping, and the Liaoxi Corridor, who died in battle, as well as those who intercepted and attacked on the opposite side of the Qingchuan River, the 300,000 to 50,000 intercepted by the Northeast are already as high as the sky!
And we have about 200,000 people, so we can rush over directly! "
"There are firearms on the other side, how can we attack them?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Yagyu Munenomi's eyes glowed coldly as he glanced at a certain type of military commander. He didn't speak again until the generals were frightened.
"The ones intercepted must not have such explosive firearms, riding..."
"How do you know there isn't one?"
