The leader of the Mongolian rebels, Halazhang, who was stationed in Shenyang, had already cleaned up the mess in Shenyang, counted the losses, and finally caught up.
However, when he saw that the strength of the Ming army was several times greater, he did not dare to charge against the Ming army. He watched helplessly as the Ming army retreated to Liaoyang and would soon join the Ming army in Liaoyang. Suddenly, he exploded .
"Are you still the queen of the great Genghis Khan? Where has the glory gone?"
"Our Mongol Empire is invincible. No one in the world dares to be my enemy! Does the Ming army in front of you scare you now?"
"The Ming army can come when they want and leave when they want. If they really want to do what they want, Changshengtian will be angry. Where are your faces?"
"..."
However, although Ha Lazhang yelled and cursed somewhat angrily, the troops belonging to Guantong and Naha did not seem to hear him.
Just like this time the Ming army attacked Shenyang, it was not attacking them.
Looking at their expressions, Harazhang could tell. He was stationed in Shenyang. When the Ming army attacked Shenyang, more importantly, his face was damaged. If he doesn't take the lead in the attack, these people from Naha will definitely not attack first.
After understanding this, Ha Lazhang really wanted to shout: It's like this, and you are still thinking about preserving your own strength. It is really too short-sighted! It's not enough to make a fool of yourself!
But facing this situation, he had no choice. Seeing that the Ming army's help was about to reach the sniper army, it would be really embarrassing if the Ming army broke through this last blockade.
Therefore, Halazhang began to organize his troops, hoping to take advantage of the Ming army's attack on the Goryeo army to launch a two-sided attack and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop.
After making the deployment, he shouted to the troops coming out of Naha: "Success or failure depends on this one move. For the sake of the Immortal Heaven and the glory of the Great Yuan Empire, I am willing to fight to the death. Whether you are the glorious Genghis Khan or not, let's see." It’s yours!”
On the side of the Ming Cavalry, after suddenly sending out troops to force the enemy to stop digging holes, they remained stationary until the main force of the car camp and infantry caught up, and then they took an attacking stance.
The enemies in front of them are the two armies of the Mongolian Army and the Japanese. Among them, the Japanese infantry formed the main sniper force, while the Mongolian cavalry was waiting for opportunities on both sides.
In addition, the other directions of the Ming army were also densely packed with Japanese cavalry and infantry. Among them, Halazhang's troops were in the rear of the Ming army. It was like a hungry wolf showing its teeth and ready to attack, waiting for the Ming army to show a weakness and then jump forward.
The sound of "woo woo woo" horns and the sound of hooves mobilizing troops and horses were constantly ringing on the battlefield.
Lan Yu, the commander of the Ming army, used his binoculars to look at the movements of the enemies around him. His cold expression remained unchanged. He just ordered five sidecars to be mobilized to the front of the team and marched together, preparing to use the rapid cannons on the cars. Blast away Goryeo's military formation.
From the moment he made the decision to fight this battle to establish his authority and provide cover for His Highness King Yan, he calculated the provisions, grass, ammunition and other supplies that the entire army had to carry.
After going to war, as the famous general who founded the Ming Dynasty, he also very naturally intended to control the consumption of food, grass and ammunition, and always maintained it at a similar level.
Now, it is the last battle of this battle, so there is nothing to worry about.
The speed cannon consumes a lot of ammunition once used. Therefore, in previous battles, he did not use this firearm, which consumes gunpowder the fastest, because there was no suitable opportunity.
But now, there is no need to hesitate, you can use it directly.
Moreover, this is a battle to establish prestige. If you don’t show off the good things, you would be a bit sorry for the invention of the Prince Consort!
On the *** side, if there was a choice, Li Chenggui certainly did not want to snipe the Ming army. However, the Mongols just looked at him and couldn't do anything without sniping.
Most of his troops were infantry, which annoyed the Mongols, and it was a bit mysterious to return safely to Goryeo. Not to mention, if you don't fight a battle, you won't be able to give orders to the king after you return.
The notification from Harazhang had arrived, and Li Chenggui decided that as long as his side
To stop the Ming army, all it takes is a stalemate for a while. In this way, Harazhang's side will attack the Ming army, and the Mongolian army on the periphery, which is several times the size of the Ming army, will also attack. At that time, he can paddle here.
If he can defeat the Ming army, then he has sniper skills; if he still can't win, he is not prepared to fight to the death, since he has already given an explanation.
On the battlefield, everyone had their own thoughts, and finally the Ming army launched the attack first.
The sidecar opened the road, followed by the Ming Dynasty infantry, pressing towards the Korean army. Getting closer, getting closer.
On the Goryeo army's side, the archers and musketeers were all moved to the front, and they were also preparing to shoot and fight.
The cavalry on Halazhang's side has already protruded, and they are ready to bite the rear of the Ming army, hold back the Ming army, bite the Ming army, and create opportunities for other Mongolian armies to share this Ming army. .
"Hohahahaha..."
The Ming army shouted in unison, their steps and roars echoed each other, and they were getting closer and closer to the Goryeo army.
*** Here, thinking about the powerful artillery of the Ming army, the queue was a little confused. No one wanted to be killed by the Ming army's powerful artillery.
Li Chenggui saw that his men were suppressed by the Ming army's momentum and were still a little confused. He was furious and immediately sent his personal guards to supervise the battle. Before the battle, soldiers who cause chaos will be killed without mercy.
At the same time, he was a little weird himself. Why didn't the Ming army fire yet? At this distance, the powerful artillery of the Ming Dynasty should be able to fire?
He is actually not afraid of such powerful artillery. Its lethality is limited, but it will cause more panic. However, as long as the army is restrained and does not cause chaos, it will be fine.
However, the Ming army still didn't fire and was still advancing, which made him a little confused.
If he continues like this, he will be within the range of his bows and arrows. Why doesn't the Ming army fire?
At first, he thought of the kind of firearms thrown by the Ming army from catapults. This was really powerful. If it was thrown into the military formation, it would inevitably cause heavy casualties.
However, he had observed over and over again that sidecars were still clearing the way for the Ming army's attack, and no catapults were seen.
Therefore, Li Chenggui was a little confused. What medicine was the Ming Army selling in this gourd?
He doesn't know that Lan Yu is a ruthless person. In order to win, he is definitely a ruthless guy!
Originally, the range of the rapid artillery, if loaded with solid bullets, would exceed the range of the Korean bows and muskets, and it would be possible to tear apart the Korean military formation with the firing speed of the rapid artillery without any casualties on one's own side.
However, he had no intention of doing so.
Lan Yu still carried out his goal of establishing a prestige battle and ordered the rapid artillery to be loaded with shotguns. As a result, the range of the rapid artillery is much shorter. Although it has a longer range than the Crouching Tiger Cannon, compared with Goryeo's long-range weapons, it is about the same as the effective range of bows and arrows, and slightly higher than the range of Goryeo's muskets.
His approach would definitely cause casualties to the Ming soldiers, but it could greatly injure the Goryeo soldiers.
For the Japanese army blocking the road in front of him, Lan Yu deliberately wanted to destroy half of it, thus frightening all enemies.
In order to achieve this goal, the vanguard of this attack was the army directly under Lan Yu. Military discipline is the most important thing in his military training. He has this confidence that even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, as long as he gives the order, his men will definitely go for it.
Originally, it was recorded in history that even Zhu Yuanzhang did not recognize the soldiers trained by Lan Yu, which triggered Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention, thus leading to the Lan Yu case, the last of the four major Hongwu cases.
Lan Yu didn't give the order, so the Ming army kept advancing, getting closer and closer to the Goryeo military formation.
Almost everyone's eyes are focused here. Obviously, this must be the breaking point of the war, and then it will be linked to the war in other directions.
Seeing that the Ming army entered the bow and arrow coverage of the Goryeo army, the Ming army still did not move and continued to advance.
At this time, the pressure on the Korean people was very high. Because they know that the Ming army
There are many times more powerful artillery, but it has been detonated but not fired, which is what scares them the most.
No, even Li Chenggui couldn't hold back his anger. He saw that some of his men could no longer hold out under the strong pressure of the Ming army, and he finally issued a military order.
When the Goryeo soldiers received the military order, they were relieved and immediately let go of their bow strings, and the rain of bows and arrows immediately flew towards the Ming army.
One of the advantages of bows and arrows is that they shoot quickly and can shoot arrows continuously, but they cannot last long.
At this time, seeing the Goryeo army shooting bows and arrows, the Ming army immediately pulled up the baffles on the side carriages, and the soldiers who followed held up their shields and began to block them.
"Chop chop chop..."
***'s bows and arrows were nailed to the side carriages, to the fenders, and even more to the ground, making a lot of noise.
Continuous shooting of arrows. Although the Ming army also took good protection, there were still relatively unlucky soldiers of the Ming army who were hit by bows and arrows in parts that could not be protected, or were injured to the point of sustaining more arrows, or were injured. After hanging up the arrow, he still continued to move forward.
Seeing that the Ming army was still advancing, Li Chenggui's expression changed a little.
He claimed to be the best general of Goryeo, and he was the most powerful in training and fighting. However, after comparing them on the battlefield, at least in terms of military discipline, he found that his men were not as good as the Ming army.
Despite the rain of arrows and casualties, the Ming army did not appear in chaos and continued to advance. It seemed that nothing could stop the Ming army from advancing. Li Chenggui was really shocked.
At this moment, he regretted a little. Perhaps he would rather offend the Mongols and the king than let his men directly confront the Ming army. The military discipline of the Ming army is really scary!
While he was thinking, suddenly, he saw the Ming army's forward stopped while advancing.
The indomitable momentum finally stopped, which made everyone in the Goryeo army heave a sigh of relief. The momentum of the Ming army's attack just now, braving the rain of arrows, put them under too much pressure.
However, they immediately discovered to their horror that five artillery pieces were exposed on the front five sidecars of the Ming army.
Li Chenggui also saw it, but he was relieved. Because he saw clearly that the five artillery pieces were definitely not the very powerful cannons he had seen before, the kind that could bombard the city gate from a long distance.
But he still had some doubts, why did the Ming army stop and fire when they were so close? The range of this kind of artillery is almost the same as that of a bow and arrow, so isn't it also similar to the artillery in his army?
While he was thinking, he suddenly saw gunpowder smoke coming out of the Ming army's sidecar.
"Boom boom boom..."
The speedy cannon finally began to fire, and the moment smoke rose into the sky, the archers and gunmen on the Goryeo army fell to the ground one by one.
Just one round of artillery bombardment left a large hole in the front of the Goryeo military formation. There were heavy casualties.
Most of the people shot by shotguns were injured but not dead. They were lying on the ground crying for their fathers and mothers.
This scene made everyone who paid attention to the war here, or almost all the Japanese and Koreans on the battlefield, dumbfounded.
When did artillery damage become a patch instead of a line?
What kind of artillery is this and why is it so powerful?
They were still thinking, and while they were looking at the scene in front of them dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, the Ming army's artillery roared again.
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, another large group of *** fell to the ground and howled.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded again.
what happened?
Didn't the Ming army's artillery just fire? How could it be possible to fire again so soon? How is this possible?
In this era of sudden fire guns, the speed of rapid fire artillery was far beyond their imagination. It is no exaggeration to say that it shattered their worldview.
At this moment, most people were dumbfounded, staring at the artillery on the Ming army's sidecar with incredulous eyes. Only those who faced the Ming army's artillery could not care less about being surprised.
, also ignored military discipline and began to run away in panic.
However, at this moment, the speed cannon roared again.
"Boom boom boom..."
After three rounds of shelling, the pre-loaded muskets had not yet been used up. The gunmen in front of them were either dead or wounded and fell to the ground, or they fled away from the Ming army in large numbers. It was as if something very scary was chasing them behind them.
I threw away my armor and only regretted that I ran slowly!
Facing the scattershot offensive of the powerful cannons, the most elite army in Goryeo and the best general in Goryeo no longer existed at this time.
In front of the Ming army, a very large gap appeared.
Lan Yu immediately gave an order, and the Ming army soldiers behind the sidecar immediately used the Yuanyang Formation's pursuit formation to cross the sidecar and pursue the enemy.
"kill……"
The Mongolian policemen in other directions were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Even Harazhang, who was ready to attack, ordered to stop the attack.
The Ming army was powerful beyond imagination. Who else dares to attack with such powerful artillery?
