1319 crash
Thorst Fujimori was a little crazy by the Ming army. He knew that if he had to go through these few rounds, the men in the front row would be in a situation where they could only be beaten and not fight back. They would definitely collapse! Moreover, the most important thing is that the Ming army on the opposite side was full of cavalry. Once they collapsed, it would be a disaster and they would not be able to escape.
In desperation, although he knew it was not effective, he still ordered the artillery to shoot freely to boost morale.
The Swedish artillery was already feeling frustrated, and after receiving the military order, they immediately began to take action, aim and fire.
The sound of "boom boom boom boom" sounded, which made the soldiers in the Swedish army formation feel energetic.
Artillery has always been the Swedes' trump card. Moreover, their commander was also the general who was best at using artillery in Europe. As soon as the cannon sounded, their confidence was restored a lot.
However, the reality still hit their expectations again.
At this distance, only solid bullets have sufficient range. However, the Ming army was a pile of three or four people, each of which was separated from each other, and was originally arranged in an orderly manner. When I saw movement in the artillery positions, after a sharp whistle, three or four hundred Ming army was lined up in a spaced horizontal line. Lean there to shoot, or sit there to load ammunition, just pay a little attention to the direction of the muzzle and do not form a straight line, and basically nothing will happen.
After a round of artillery continued, listening to the lively sound, the sound of "boom boom boom boom" sounded continuously, but only one Ming army soldier was unlucky and was hit by an iron egg and died heroically.
However, in this round of artillery attacks, the Swedish army formation in front had already been recessed a lot.
After several rounds of artillery attacks, not to mention how many gunpowder and shells the artillery wasted, the disproportionate exchange of casualties between the two sides was enough to make the Swedish soldiers desperate.
You should know that these Swedish soldiers are not defending their country and have no way out. They are trying to win battles and rob things to make money. Although they also abide by military discipline because of Thorst Fujimori's harshness, the situation in front of them can almost be said to be only beaten, die alone, but cannot fight back. The situation of killing and injuring their opponents is the biggest blow to their will.
At this time, even the killer they rely most on has been used, but it still has no effect. When all the trump cards are used and the same is true, the front-row soldiers began to collapse.
As the sound of shooting in the "bang" was suddenly a Swedish soldier in the front row felt that the man who was aimed at by the Ming army suddenly screamed "wow", holding a gun, and rushing towards the Ming army.
No surprises, after only a few steps, I was taken care of by a few lead bullets.
However, although he was dead, it affected the soldiers beside him. Immediately, some soldiers followed him, holding guns, or directly opening fire, or rushed towards the Ming army in a crazy way.
If the Ming army fired volleys, they could also get closer while the Ming army was loading ammunition together, putting pressure on the Ming army. However, the Ming army fired volleys, and there were not many soldiers running out of the formation due to mental collapse. They were immediately taken care of by Ming soldiers who could open fire, and were often knocked down if they couldn't rush far.
Muskets are not like cannons. If they hit the enemy, they will not be killed immediately, except for the key points.
After so many contacts and battles, the Swedish soldiers who had already lie all over the ground in front of them looked at least hundreds of times. Few died immediately, and they were lying there moaning, crying, crying, and making fun of their parents, and it was very lively.
At the beginning, the spirit of the Swedish soldiers was concentrated on the other party's Ming army and almost did not care about other things. But at this time, even if the spirit of the soldiers in the front row did not collapse, they were still approaching the verge of collapse. Seeing those accomplices rushing out, they immediately attracted their attention, and then they saw them lying on the ground and groaning and shouting, and suddenly they realized that so many accomplices were falling in front of them.
This time, it was like the last straw, and many Swedish soldiers collapsed. They no longer care about how cruel Thorst Fujimori's military order was, nor did they care about the consequences of the defeat of the war if the square formation was dispersed. Anyway, at this time, they no longer wanted to be in such a situation where they were beaten to death but had no way to do so.
Speaking of which, the Ming army is also cunning. In fact, the Ming army did not attack the soldiers in the middle of the square formation, but shot at the soldiers on the edge of the square formation. Now, this effect has come out.
When the soldiers on the edge of the square formation saw that their accomplices were falling down again, they could no longer bear it. With a "ah", they turned around and ran backwards. If the fleeing Swedish soldiers were replaced by those in the middle of the formation, they would not be able to run back. But at this time, he was on the side, but he could run back smoothly.
When he ran, the soldiers around him immediately led the soldiers and ran back regardless of the situation.
At this time, it was like a sand sculpture, and it scattered with a "bang". At the front, the most severely hit military formation dispersed. Almost everyone did not dare to face the Ming army's harvest and ran backwards.
The Swedish military formation was not a large military formation, but was divided into small military formations. When the small square formation in front collapsed, the small square formation beside them also followed suit and collapsed.
Facing the Ming army's square formations, they almost collapsed together after seeing someone running first and then. As soon as these soldiers ran back, the number of people was a little large, and they immediately began to attack the square formation lined up behind.
Suddenly, in a very short time, the Swedish army formation was in chaos, all of which were in chaos.
Behind the Ming army, those Ming army waiting for an opportunity to move, immediately rode their horses and speeded up when they saw this situation, as if they saw a flock of wolves, they began to pounce towards the Swedish army formation. The cavalry further behind also moved and all pressed forward.
The nearly 10,000 cavalry moved, and the momentum became louder, like Mount Tai was pressing against the top of the head, pressing on the hearts of every Swedish soldier.
Thors Fujimori was so scared that she was so scared that she was scattered when she saw this. She quickly ordered loudly, and the military formation in the back row immediately opened fire, and the targets were those who fled backwards.
“Mush…”
The dense gunfire sounded from the square formation in the back row, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air and immediately filled the sky above the Swedish army formation.
This decisive approach is indeed useful. The Swedish soldiers who were running back were hurriedly watching their accomplices who were running in front fell to the ground, and their minds suddenly became clear. They immediately remembered Thors Fujimori's harsh military laws and knew that if they ran back, they would die by their own people.
At this moment, many of them hesitated and dared not escape.
However, at this time, they had heard the dense sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and turned to look. At the same time, they subconsciously wanted to re-form the square formation because they knew that only in this way could they fight against the cavalry.
However, at this moment, the cavalry rushing in front were not far from them. The Ming cavalry were holding sticks with many holes and aiming them.
“Mush…”
Smoke of gunpowder emerged from the Ming cavalry group, and dense gunfire followed. The Swedish soldiers in front of the cavalry were still rushing to re-arrange these in the array, and a large area of soldiers fell behind were almost not spared.
Such a fierce shooting once again shocked the Swedish soldiers. They couldn't figure out what was going on with such a fierce musket in the Ming army. At this time, they had recovered a little morale because of the harsh military laws and suddenly collapsed again.
If they do not escape, they either die under the fierce shooting of the Ming army or the cavalry's charge.
So the Swedish soldiers ran back again, regardless of the consequences. And this time, because they knew that the Ming cavalry was pursuing, the deadly sound of horse hooves came behind them, and they ran faster.
This time, the military formation behind was useless to open fire. The nearest military formation was immediately dispersed by the defeated soldiers, and then they fled together. In this way, they dispersed the square formation behind...
Anyway, the Swedish military formation at this time was like dominoes, with chain reactions, one square array after another disintegration...
At this time, no matter how awesome Thorst Fujimori was, he was already invincible.
In fact, when he saw the first square formation disintegrating due to pressure, or if he could not crack the Ming army's slut tactics, he was already at a loss. But what he didn't expect was that the Ming army was responding very correctly and quickly, and his own military formation had flaws and could actually come to kill him immediately.
Seeing the army disintegrated, he couldn't control it anymore and immediately turned around and ran away. No surprise, when he ran, all the Swedish soldiers ran away without caring about it.
So, on this Eastern European plain, a red ocean rolled forward again, and the sound of horse hooves sounded again.
After about three hours of battle, the plain became quiet again, and teams of Ming troops were cleaning the battlefield. In the distance, there were many Ming troops, and teams of Ming troops returned successfully. Everyone had the joy of victory on their faces. This time, there were a lot of military achievements!
Li Dingguo came to the artillery position of the Swedish army and took off his horse to check the Swedish artillery. It has to be said that the Ming Dynasty did not do anything before, that was, it did not split the artillery. If the artillery was split, it would be possible for the cavalry to carry artillery. If ordinary artillery was installed, even if it was equipped with wheels, it would seriously drag down the cavalry's speed.
After taking a photo and uploading it to the temporary chat group, Li Dingguo suggested: "My Ming Dynasty rifled cannon can also be split-type. In this way, the cavalry can be carried, and it will be easier to fight against the European army's square formation."
After all, artillery is an artillery. No matter how small it is, it is longer than a flintlock rifle and has greater power. In this battle, if there are small rifled artillery, such as those that two people can operate, it is fine even if they use solid bullets. Once you shoot, you will definitely be able to penetrate the enemy's military formation and will have much greater deterrence. If there is such a powerful weapon in this battle, it will probably end the war long ago.
Although talent is the ultimate factor that determines the war, today's war still proves that the excellent equipment is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Especially when the military qualities of both sides are not at the level of crushing, the excellent equipment becomes more important.
Regarding Li Dingguo's proposal, the big guys in the group, including Emperor Chongzhen, naturally would not have any objections. If the decree continues, there will naturally be craftsmen to improve it.
This is not a technical problem, but because before, the Ming army did not need the cavalry to expedition other countries like this time, and had to have the speed of coming and going like the wind like the troops of Li Dingguo, so we did not consider the issue of such cavalry carrying artillery. Now, since it has been proposed, to solve this problem, with the technical strength of the Ming Dynasty reserves, of course there will not be much problem.
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the victory of Li Dingguo, so he ordered him: "Sweden and Poland cannot be limited to destroying their reinforcements. We must teach them a harsh lesson so that they can know the fate of daring to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty. You should choose the opportunity to act, and it is possible to teach them a lesson. However, remember that we cannot attack the strong city. Our Ming Dynasty will not engage in a war of attrition! The way to deal with the post-war is the same. The so-called nobles will kill all the nobles, and the oppressed serfs must give them kindness!"
Hearing this, Man Gui could no longer help it. This time, he only watched Li Dingguo perform. He immediately asked for the battle, and wanted to help Li Dingguo with help. Anyway, the main force led by Yang Sichang was almost here on the Samara Fort.
So, while Li Dingguo built another Jingguan, the Patriarch Filalet, on the side of the Samara Fort, was surprised to find that the Ming army outside the city had retreated.
No, it wasn't right, they just left the Samara Fort and headed west.
At this moment, Falalet became anxious. Moscow had too few troops, so the Ming army didn't even want to retreat and headed straight to Moscow. The pressure on Moscow was too great.
The Patriarch Filalet immediately convened an emergency military convention and said to the many nobles below: "It is a good thing for us to dare to leave without regard to the Samara Fort. Everyone, as long as we can attack the cattle and sheep in the Ming army and kill more cattle and sheep, even if we cannot cause casualties to the Ming army, we have our prior plan to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, the Ming army will definitely be defeated. Therefore, all the cavalry in our hands must be concentrated and used, and no one can hide their own personal gain. Do you understand this?”
In Li Dingguo, ten thousand cavalry can also use war to support the war and use the nobles' property to supplement military supplies. However, Man Gui's 30,000 cavalry could not do this. Therefore, he brought cattle and sheep with his army, but this also dragged down the speed of the cavalry. Now the Patriarch Filalette has taken this and arranged targeted actions.
I have to say that dealing with cattle and sheep is always easier than dealing with the Ming army, and there are many more methods. After all, those cattle and sheep need to eat grass and drink water. The cattle and sheep used by the 30,000 cavalrymen are not small.
Therefore, many nobles agreed, slapped their chests one by one, shouting that the Ming army would never return.
But at this moment, a small leader suddenly rushed in outside and shouted in panic: "No, no, Ming Jun is here again, so many..."
After hearing this report, everyone had no intention of continuing to hold a meeting and rushed to the city to see the situation. They saw countless red oceans on the grassland to the east, without any guessing, and there were obviously more than the previous Ming army.
At this moment, Patriarch Fellaret and others were all desperate. The great power in the East was too bullying. At such a long distance, so many troops were actually sent.
