Chapter 189 Flanking Huang Taiji (1)
Three thousand Ming troops in Liaoyang Xinzhen were stationed at the entrance of the valley. The formation was waving and shaking the golden dragon flag of the Later Jin Khan King, which was shaking, stimulated the fragile nerves of the wild boar skin. The battle was too embarrassing. Even the golden dragon flag symbolizing the Khan King was taken away. The flag of the coach was taken away on the battlefield, and it was already defeated. Fortunately, the eight banners of the banners were still relatively capable. Except for Manguertai who ran away with the two blue flags and Huang Taiji and the two white flags of Huang Taiji were trapped in the valley, the other four flags were also organized to attack the valley.
"Attack at any cost, take back the banner, and rescue the Eighth Prince!" The wild boar skin pulled out the golden knife and pointed forward, shouting loudly.
At this time, the wild boar skin no longer thought about how to seize the Liaochen City. This battle could regain the banner and save the two white flags of Huangtaiji who were trapped in the valley.
"Khan Ama, the Ming Dog in front is very strange. Their hand-to-hand combat soldiers are almost all spearmen, and there are very few swords and cards. However, there are many infantry archers, musketeers and cannons behind them." Dai Shandao.
The old slave snorted: "Minggou must be afraid of my Dajin Iron Cavalry, so he set up a full-length spearman formation to block the valley entrance. He thought this would block my Dajin Warrior? Pass the order down, and the two flags of Zhenghong and the two flags of the Inlaid Red will each be sent out to attack with heavy armor! The coated shield cart will advance! Break through the Minggou defense line!"
After a quarter of an hour of preparation, when Baoyi Aha came up behind him, the wild boar skin ordered an attack.
The drums roared in the formation of the Later Jin army, and the horns were roaring. Shield chariots were pushed out of the formation. The heavy armored infantry of the Later Jin dismounted one after another, holding shields, and following behind the shield chariot. The Later Jin archers followed the heavy armored dead soldiers, and under the protection of the shield chariot, they walked towards the Ming army formation step by step.
Within the formation of the Liaoyang Xinzhen Army, two 500-jin general artillery and four 100-jin enemy artillery were launched.
The five hundred kilograms of general cannon fired five kilograms of shells; the hundred kilograms of Deluo cannon fired more than one kilogram of shells. Both of these cannons can penetrate the shield chariot of Later Jin, and the general cannon cannon cannon cannons cannons that cannons weigh more than one kilogram. The general cannon cannon cannon cannon cannons cannons cannons that are excellent. The only drawback is that Gao Shixin is not a mechanical background after all, and he does not have the technological acumen like Zhang Yong, so the cannon he used was still not flexible two-wheeled cannon mounts, and the use of the Ming army's four-wheel cannon carriage, which has poor maneuverability.
The Later Jin army approached step by step, with a distance of three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, and two hundred steps.
"Destroy the enemy cannon, general cannon," Gao Shixin put down the embroidered Chunsword raised, pointed forward, "Let it go!"
"Boom boom boom" sounded the sound of cannons, six cannons spit out flames, and white smoke spread out rose up. Six black shells drew a low and straight arc and landed in the formation of the shield chariot of the Later Jin army.
A general artillery shell hit a shield cart. The wooden shield immediately crushed it to pieces, and the shells that penetrated the shield cart rolled into the crowd of coats behind, pulled out a flesh-and-blood alley, and took away the lives of more than a dozen Baoyi Ahas. The broken wooden shield fragments were sprayed out like shrapnel, and many Baoyi was covered with broken wood chips, screaming and wailing in a pool of blood. After the shells smashed the last Baoyi Aha, they landed on the ground, jumped up, and crashed into the crowd of heavy armored dead soldiers in the back gold behind.
Seeing the shell jumping towards him, the heavy armored soldier of the Later Jin Dynasty used a shield to block it. The shell hit the iron shield and immediately knocked the iron piece outside into the darkened. All the wood pieces wrapped inside were shattered and turned into countless pieces, and pierced on the face of the heavy armored dead soldier. The huge impact force of the shell hit the dead soldier and flew backwards.
The shells had powerful potential energy and hit the head of the second heavy armored dead soldier. The deflated helmet flew out. The heavy armored dead soldier's head had disappeared and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Two shells of the Destroyer Cannon hit two shield cars, smashing the shields of the two shield cars into pieces, and a large piece of Baoyi Aha fell down behind him screamed.
The other three shells did not hit the shield car, but passed through the gap between the shield car and the shield car, hitting the formation of the Later Jin army more than 300 steps away, knocking over more than a dozen Later Jin soldiers. The Later Jin soldiers who were directly hit by the shell were smashed to pieces, and the Later Jin soldiers who were rubbed by the shell fell down and their legs were broken.
The gunners began to load shells nervously. This kind of four-wheeled gun car, which was indeed behind the West, was used on ships. On European warships, the cannon trucks placed behind the gun doors were fired and then retreated to a certain position. The rear wheel of the cannon truck would be stuck. After loading the shells, the gunner pulled the handle and the cannon slide forward along the deck and automatically reset. However, on land, without such an automatic reset device, the four-wheeled gun car would not know where it would retreat.
More importantly, the muzzle angle of the four-wheel gun mount is difficult to adjust, which also increases the difficulty of loading.
Because the Ming Dynasty did not have the concept of field artillery, from this point of view, it was already behind the West.
However, because Gao Shixin used a fixed charge package, the loading speed was significantly faster. When the Later Jin army entered within a hundred steps, the Ming army had already loaded shells, and then another round of artillery bombardment.
The black Later Jin soldiers pressed forward. Except for the launch of six cannons in the Ming army, all the Franco gunners and musketeers were still as motionless. The Franco gunners and musketeers held their breath and did not receive orders, so they would never act rashly.
After the six cannons were shot in the second round of shells, they were dragged back by the gunners and were nervously loading the shotgun.
Qi Jin was anxious: "Chief Gao, Jiannu is coming soon, why don't he fire the musket?"
"It's useless to fight too early! I can only waste ammunition! I'll wait until Jiannu arrives before fighting!" Gao Shixin replied.
The Later Jin army entered within seventy steps and heard a whistling sound. The vast arrows flew out from behind the Later Jin shield formation, woven into a large black net in the air, and fell down towards the Ming army formation.
The Ming army was still as still as a mountain. The spearmen in the new town of Liaoyang just lowered their heads slightly and covered the arrows with the brim of the sharp-top wide-brimmed iron helmet to avoid being caught in the face. The musketeers and Franc gunners behind them didn't have to worry. They also had excellent half-body armor on their bodies, wide-brimmed iron helmets on their heads, and there were swords and card players around to help them cover the rain of arrows.
Except for a few spearmen in Liaoyang New Town who were injured and injured in an arrow in their arms, two spearmen who fell down in front of the door, the rest were safe and sound.
The crossbowmen in the new town of Liaoyang did not counterattack either. The crossbows were flat-firing weapons. The Later Jin army had shield chariots in front of them, so there was no effect at all when firing crossbows. Although the archer could shoot, the archer's physical strength was limited. An archer could only shoot ten to fifteen rounds of arrows. Now he consumed his physical strength. When the Later Jin archer was confused and shot archers, he could not fight back.
The Later Jin army was close to within fifty steps, and Gao Shixin shouted: "Arrower, let it go!"
All the archers pulled the bowstrings, and the bows and arrows aimed at the sky forty-five degrees. They opened their fingers easily, and rows of light arrows flew into the sky, drawing an arc, and landed behind the Jin army shield chariot.
Only a series of heart-wrenching screams were heard. The Baoyi Aha and the others who were pushing the cart behind the shield were shot by light arrows falling from the sky. The Baoyi Aha and the others had no armor on their bodies. They were stabbed by light arrows. They either fell to the ground and rolled around, or covered their wounds with pain, and even some of them were shot to death.
The Ming army's turtledove gunners, self-generated musketeers and Franc gunners were still as still as mountains and did not fire at all.
The Later Jin army shot another row of light arrows. The purpose of their archery was to attract Ming munitions to fire and attract Ming archers to consume their energy.
However, the military weapons and crossbowmen in the Liaoyang Xinzhen, which had strict military discipline, remained as motionless as a mountain and were not tempted by the Later Jin army at all.
