"any solution?"
"Say it!"
"At this juncture, why are you still hiding it?"
The generals asked hurriedly at the same time, the despair in their eyes turning into hope.
Even Huang Taiji is like this.
Yagyu Munenomi glanced at the generals and whispered: "Gather all the war horses, light their tails, and form a fire bull formation. Everyone gathers together to form a heavy infantry formation to force the war horses to charge forward.
Use war horses to fill the trench in front and break up the Ming army's defense!
Even if we can't break through, the Folan cannon and the Tiger squatting cannon will explode due to the contact firing, consuming ammunition, and we will lose a lot of pressure when charging! "
"What?"
"no!"
"Are you crazy?"
"Do you know the consequences of doing this? Once the Ming army buries explosive firearms in the front, the war horses will all turn around and attack us if they are frightened."
"Even if there are no such explosive firearms, what about the Folan cannon, the squatting tiger cannon, and the fire-breathing ones? War horses are our partners and loyal to us, but they are not fools. They can still seek good luck and avoid disaster!"
"The reason why we are so powerful in battle is because we are cavalry. Without cavalry, our combat strength is not even half as good!"
"Although the Ming army on the opposite side has few cavalry, there are still thousands of them. Even if we can break through the blockade without horses, can we still outrun the Ming army's cavalry pursuit?"
"Yes, we are already very tired. Without war horses, we probably won't even be able to break through the Ming army's defenses!"
…
"Whether you are stuck here and wait to die, or rush over and die, you can choose for yourself!"
Looking at the angry generals, Yagyu Munenomi was not angry, but just said something lightly.
But it silenced the opposing generals.
They thought Yagyu Munomi could come up with some good ideas, but it turned out to be this unreliable method.
It's not that they haven't considered this method, but the consequences are not something they can bear.
But Munenomi Yagyu woke them up with one sentence. If they didn't do this, they would be waiting for death. If they did, they would still have a chance to live. It was easy to weigh the two.
"Work hard and live for as long as you can!"
"We are at this point. We have no choice. If the war horses really retreat, it will be our fate!"
"Order it!"
…
The faces of the generals changed from despair and anger to violent, ruthless, cold, and crazy expressions.
At the critical moment of life and death, their resolute actions as soldiers were finally inspired.
Yagyu Munomi breathed a sigh of relief, whispered some precautions to the generals, and then the generals dispersed.
A quarter of an hour later, the formation of the Jiannu coalition forces changed again, with tens of thousands of dark horses at the front, and nearly 178,000 sergeants at the rear.
All the sergeants had stern expressions on their faces, and they clenched their weapons. A violent aura rose in the formation, covering the group of horses in front, causing the horses to scratch the ground anxiously with their front hooves. .
"let's start!"
Yagyu Munenomi gently gave the order, and several loud arrows flew into the air.
The sergeants set fire to the clothes tied to the tail of the war horse, and reluctantly stepped forward under the patting of the sergeant. From time to time, they turned their heads to look behind and neighed, as if they were looking for their master.
"kill!"
"war!"
The 170,000 Jiannu sergeants shouted angrily in unison, like a thunderbolt exploding out of the sky and traveling into the distance. The clouds in the sky were shaken away by the sound wave.
After roaring, the sergeant took neat little steps, paced his feet vigorously, and made a thumping sound, which made the ground shake.
The war horse, whose tail was already on fire, finally began to charge under the fierce aura and pressure.
Thousands of horses galloping, the sound of hooves is like thunder, like a giant beast swallowing mountains and rivers, it is unstoppable;
Thousands of armies mobilized in unison, with such mighty force that they seemed to be suppressing the heaven and earth beneath them.
"They finally chose this move!"
"Life or death, it's a good choice between the two, this is desperate!"
"We are responsible for reaching this point!"
"Of course, it is my responsibility to send them to the underworld to meet the King of Hell!"
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
Cao Wenzhao and Wei Yang laughed and seemed not to be nervous about the upcoming battle.
But as the two laughed, each department adjusted in an orderly manner.
The horses on the opposite side hesitated in front of the trench dug by the Ming army. The dust on the edge was constantly falling. The horses at the rear continued to move forward under the pressure of the sergeants further behind, squeezing the horses in front.
Plop... Finally, a war horse was squeezed into a two-meter-deep trench by the war horses at the rear.
The falling seemed to be a signal, and one horse after another entered and fell.
Some war horses began to leap with all their strength, but the earthen wall in the trench was only two or three meters wide. Some of them jumped over the trench because they were too fast and couldn't stop and fell into the trench again.
The nature of animals tells them that they must stand up and run out along the trench.
But more horses fell down and fell on the horse that fell first.
One horse after another, until the trench was filled, the horses in the rear stepped on the horses in the trench and ran towards the front.
For a moment, the shrill neighing of the war horses echoed throughout the battlefield.
Looking at the miserable situation in the trench, Wei Yang cursed: "Damn, these are all fine war horses, and they were trampled into pulp like this. What a fucking waste!"
"How many people have died just now? There are still more than 100,000 war horses left in the slave-building coalition. We can capture 50,000 to 60,000 horses no matter what!"
"That's what I say, but it makes me sad to see it. If we were given the imperial army..."
"Why do we need so many cavalry? No matter how powerful they are, they can block flying thunder cannons, palm thunder, and sky-blasting thunder?"
Not to mention anything else, if each of the 10,000 infantrymen carries two palm mines and a flintlock gun, plus more than a hundred Franco machine cannons, I can defeat all 10,000 cavalrymen with less than 10% loss. die.
Twenty thousand palm thunders plus ten thousand flintlock guns are only about fifty thousand taels of silver, but ten thousand war horses require more than 120,000 taels of fodder every year. Adding battle damage, equipment, training, etc., one year At least 400,000 taels, which one is more cost-effective?
In the face of the existing firearms of the Ming Dynasty, cavalry has become history, but it is definitely not as important as before.
When the Firearms Research Institute develops a firearm with a range of ten miles, the cavalry will be completely doomed! "
"Too!"
Thinking about the battle on the grassland and the previous two battles, Wei Yang nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval.
Looking at the horses getting closer and closer, Cao Wenzhao's face gradually became serious, and he shouted: "Light the hay in front, the left and right cannons, palm mines, and archers are ready to attack."
"The Chinese army withdraws! The archers aim at the enemy who is fishing in troubled waters!"
The Chinese army immediately moved away from both sides, revealing a passage that was a hundred meters wide.
It's just that this passage is a bit strange. It is connected to the trench in front, with a depth of about one and a half meters, and extends towards the rear of the army.
There was a banging sound, and the Franco machine guns were carried out one by one, and the sub-cannons were also put aside.
