Outside Warsaw, artillery was roaring, artillery shells were roaring, and exploding soil and rocks were flying everywhere. Of course, there are also broken arms and limbs among them.
On such a battlefield, the cavalry armies from various European countries were really fighting to the death. Although cavalrymen and horses were knocked over by bombs one after another, the remaining cavalrymen still rushed forward without hesitation. If you don't have a strong will and long-lasting experience in the battlefield, you will never be able to do it.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this situation, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a bit unexpected. I originally thought that there was no need for heavy machine guns! These European cavalry are really elite. They were able to survive under the attack of the new artillery. Having the courage to charge forward, not bad, not bad!”
The more elite the enemy is, the less pressure there will be if it is eliminated in this battle. Therefore, whether Emperor Chongzhen truly admires and appreciates the other party, or it is based on his own interests, he hopes that the enemy he faces this time will be as elite as possible.
However, even the new artillery is not the end of the cavalry force. For cavalry moving at high speed, the damage caused by bomb explosions is actually limited, especially those that disperse and charge.
Lu Xiangsheng, who had rich combat experience, immediately noticed this, and immediately reminded Emperor Chongzhen with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the enemy's cavalry has a very tenacious fighting will and a large number. I am afraid that it cannot be stopped by the chariot camp alone." , it’s time to mobilize the cavalry to come over and assist with the escort.”
Generally speaking, the car camp is actually enough as an obstacle to block the cavalry charge. The enemy's cavalry could not get past the carriage camp, so they had to rush to the edge of the carriage camp, dismount, cross the carriage camp, and attack.
However, even if the enemy has a large number of troops, such an attack will cause heavy losses. If Lu Xiangsheng had commanded by himself, he would not have mobilized the cavalry to respond, but would have stayed behind to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
But now the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is still in the car camp. This is a body of ten thousand gold, and it is not easy to take risks in any case. It was for this reason that he had the suggestion to mobilize cavalry.
"It doesn't matter, Lu Qing will see what the cavalry terminator looks like in a while!" Emperor Chongzhen just said with a smile after hearing this.
Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou who were standing next to them had seen this before, and they immediately agreed cheerfully, telling Lu Xiangsheng not to worry.
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but look at the Ming army soldiers who were already waiting in the carriage. Two of them were serving a musket. He thought to himself: Is this musket called a heavy machine gun really that powerful?
In fact, what Emperor Chongzhen said was wrong. The real terminator of the cavalry is not the heavy machine gun, but the tank!
Historically, during the First World War, there were examples of Australian cavalry successfully charging. At that time, the Turkish side also had artillery and heavy machine guns, but they could not withstand the high-speed charge of the cavalry, and there were no slowing obstacles such as barbed wire in front of the formation, so they were defeated by the cavalry. To this end, Australians also made a movie to commemorate this.
At this time, the focus on the battlefield quickly focused on the charge of the cavalry from various European countries. There is no other reason than that it is too noticeable.
It has to be said that the military advantages of European countries can offset many disadvantages to a certain extent.
For example, although they were bombarded by artillery before, although there were many casualties, they were still relatively small compared to their total strength; for example, the current advantage in strength can give them hope that they can use their cavalry sea to It can flood the Ming army's terrible artillery positions.
At this time, the cavalry armies from various European countries were getting closer and closer to the location of the Ming Dynasty headquarters. The artillery's elevation angle was such that it could no longer hit the cavalry in front. This discovery made the cavalry armies of various European countries feel as if they were on fire, and they charged without hesitation.
The rumble of hooves shook the earth.
The charging momentum of thousands of troops and horses gathered together made the troops of the Ming Dynasty vassal country secretly frightened. At this time, they finally woke up. Before, they had always underestimated the military strength of European countries. At least the cavalry's bravery now was beyond their expectation.
Among them, as the masters of the Polish Hussars, even if they are not driven by their king, they are always at the forefront for their glory and their former glory.
Closer, closer, closer! It seems that in just over a mile, we can reach the Ming army's main formation.
However, it was quiet on the Ming army's position. Except for the continued roar of artillery, there was no other movement.
This abnormal situation made the experienced wing cavalry immediately feel that something was wrong. However, at this time, they had an arrow on the string and could not stop at all. Therefore, we can only hope that the Ming army will be frightened by our own charge.
Even King William II of Poland, who was cowering in a corner at the top of Warsaw City in the distance because of the power of the Ming Dynasty artillery fire, had already stood up. Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush in, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and started to cheer: "Come in, kill, kill for me..."
However, at this moment, the Ming army's carriage camps suddenly spit out tongues of fire. The most important thing is that this is not one tongue of fire, but two, three... countless tongues of fire...
Those hussars who were charging so happily felt as if they had hit an invisible iron plate, and they suddenly fell to the ground. In just a short time, countless cavalry and war horses fell in front of the Ming army's position.
These became obstacles again, forcing the following cavalry to slow down slightly. But as a result, more European cavalry fell.
Since the subsequent cavalry charge has already begun, it cannot be stopped. As a result, more cavalry fell to the ground.
The two miles or so in front of the Ming army's position simply became a Shura hell for the cavalry. There were wounded soldiers and horses lying on the ground wailing everywhere. Just looking at this posture, no matter how many more cavalry troops rushed over, they would all end up being beaten to the point of being knocked off their feet.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned. This has not even reached our car camp. If the war horses had to slow down in front of the carriage camp, the enemy's casualties would only be more.
Immediately, he turned to look at a musket operated by two Ming army soldiers on the carriage, as if the emperor called him a heavy machine gun. Shooting continuously and with such a long range, this is a big killer weapon that harvests human lives!
For some reason, when Lu Xiangsheng looked at the heavy machine guns that were spitting flames, the Jiajiazhuang Defense War suddenly flashed through his mind. That time, if the imperial court had such a weapon, it would not be afraid no matter how many prisoners came. That war didn’t have to be so hard! That time, I really almost died in battle!
Of course he didn't know that if Emperor Chongzhen hadn't traveled through time and flapped his butterfly wings, he would have died in battle.
Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, not to mention the soldiers of Tsarist Russia, Ottoman and other Ming vassal states. The originally powerful cannon had already stunned them. Now that I see how powerful the Ming army's muskets are, I am really dumbfounded!
Recalling that they had been enemies of the Ming Dynasty before, chills ran down their spines; but when they came back to their senses and were extremely sure that they were on the side of the Ming army, they were overwhelmed with joy.
They were extremely convinced that from now on, holding Daming's thigh, they would be able to enjoy the hot drinks and trample all those Europeans under their feet!
As for the European army, the charging cavalry finally slowed down. Even if they were brave, in the face of such a situation, only the stupid ones would continue to seek death.
There were artillery bombardments from behind and powerful musket fire from the Ming army in front, leaving them no way to survive or even a glimmer of hope of victory.
Under such circumstances, no matter how brave the cavalry armies of various European countries were, they finally collapsed completely after being taught a lesson by the Ming army's artillery and machine guns.
Regardless of whether their famous general was dead or not, the cavalry began to flee in great fear.
They didn't care whether there were their own infantry soldiers in front of them, just to escape from this murderous battlefield quickly, they would not hesitate to run into them.
The new weapons of the Ming army had unprecedented power. By this time, they had completely defeated the resistance will of the armies of various European countries.
Seeing that the entire battlefield was in complete chaos and the enemy was completely defeated, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to Lu Xiangsheng: "Pass the order and let the cavalry of the vassal states on the left and right wings pursue us!"
As soon as the signal was sent out, it goes without saying that both Alexei and Ahmed couldn't wait to urge their men to start chasing the enemy's retreating troops.
The only thing they were worried about was whether the Ming army's powerful artillery would fall on their heads if they pursued them too quickly.
However, they obviously worried too much. The Ming artillery began to extend, and finally stopped and stopped firing.
In fact, the artillery needs to cool down, most of the ammunition has been consumed, and it can no longer fire continuously.
On the Ming army headquarters side, neither the cavalry nor the infantry moved. Almost everyone was looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in front of them. They all knew that this battle would definitely leave a mark in the history books.
"Your Majesty, is this new gunpowder called Taiping gunpowder?" After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly came back to his senses, turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and confirmed.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked away from the battlefield, nodded and said, "Yes, from now on, the Ming Dynasty will be at peace!"
For this era, the existence of this kind of gunpowder is equivalent to the nuclear weapons of later generations, which can deter any hostile country.
Lu Xiangsheng listened and nodded heavily, understanding the meaning of these words.
At this time, Hong Chengchou suddenly pointed forward and said: "Your Majesty, look over there!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look. When he saw clearly, there was only a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. After all, this was what was expected.
