Chapter 254: Ruthless Defeat
boom
On the battlefield, there were repeated shellings, and the chaos and screams of the Jiannu Infantry again and again. The journey of two miles was simply a journey to die.
In every shelling, thousands of Jiannu soldiers were beaten into meat sauce, and many wounded soldiers who were beaten to death and screamed in pain.
No one cared about the wounded soldiers anymore, and let them fall to the ground and scream. They were even slashed by the governor because of the loud scream.
Within eleven minutes, Jiannu encountered eleven shellings.
The last shelling was like a destruction. The shells passed from one end of the Jiannu Army to the other end.
At the same time, a large number of infantry artillery shot at them, and it burst into the Jiannu Infantry Army's army. The large number of artillery bombardment made the entire Ming army's army surrounded by a thick smoke of gunpowder, looking white.
A large number of shotguns caused terrifying damage, and at least three or four thousand people fell down on the spot.
Jiannu's military formation was in chaos again, and this time it was really completely in chaos. Even Jiannu's military commander was frightened and urinated.
The chaos caused the Jiannu's infantry to stop moving forward, and many Jiannu soldiers even began to flee backwards. They could not stand the Ming army's artillery fire.
The terrifying lethal solid bombs and the shotgun covering the strike have completely disintegrated the morale of the Jiannu soldiers.
The excitement before departure was now replaced by cold fear. The Ming army, which was looming in the smoke of gunpowder, seemed to have become the most terrifying existence in the world.
But what made them even more terrifying was that the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind them, and a group of Jiannu cavalry rushed over and began to suppress the chaotic situation.
The wild boar skin took action and sent a group of cavalry to kill the defeated soldiers crazily.
The defeated soldiers were killed and could only turn around and rushed towards the Ming army helplessly.
"Kill for the Jin Dynasty" Dai Shan looked back in grief and anger at the cavalry that killed the defeated soldiers, then looked at the Ming army and burst out with a sudden shout, and rushed out first.
"Kill"
The shaking shouts erupted in an instant. But more were desperate shouts. Most people already understood their destiny. Retreat is death, and advancing is death.
Only by rushing forward and fighting to the death may you still be able to fight a path of blood. Especially Daishan, he even knew that he had no way out. When he saw the group of cavalry appear, he seemed to have predicted his ending.
So a strange scene happened. Jiannu, who had an extremely chaotic formation, was completely out of order. He rushed towards the Ming army with a tight formation.
The result is conceivable
What greeted them was a scattered volley of muskets.
"Preparing...shooting"
With a command, the musketeers from all lines pulled the trigger in an orderly manner, forming a terrifying volley on the spot. The lead bullets formed a terrifying lethal force within fifty meters, and the Jiannu Infantry fell down on the spot. The power of such a volley was so terrifying that the Ming army's musket fire had reached an almost unsolvable level.
After all, this is a flintlock rifle, allowing musketeers to be arranged into dense formations, and three rows of volleys are fired in front and back. Just one round of volleys. The Jiannu Infantry Army was stunned. It seemed that the monsters had eaten a big mouthful in front, and in an instant, a large row of people fell in a pool of blood.
On the other hand, the Jiannu infantry rushed to this distance and began to pour arrows into the Ming army. However, the arrows shot by the Jiannu infantry became sparse due to the scattered formation, as if they were impotence.
The two sides immediately began a cruel shooting, but unfortunately, many of the Ming army musketeers they faced were wearing steel armor. The cotton armor on Jiannu's body was of no use to defending muskets at this distance, and the lead bullets shot caused devastating damage to them.
After one round of shooting, the Ming army's musketeers quickly picked up the paper bullet and bit it open in one bite. Then they quickly poured it into the barrel, and then loaded the lead bullet into compaction.
"Preparing...shooting"
Bang bang bang bang...
Another devastating lead bullet was shot out like a metal storm. In an instant, Jiannu fell down a row of people again, and Jiannu's bow and arrows quickly poured out two waves of arrow rains. However, although these sparse arrow rains caused certain damage to the Ming army's musketeers, they could not shake the formation and morale of the Ming army at all.
Almost all the musketeers were loading ammunition mechanically and quickly, and seemed completely indifferent to the rain of arrows shot.
Both sides were queuing up and shooting, but this was a duel between firearms and bows. Jiannu died and fell down one after another. The scene was filled with corpses and blood flowing into rivers. The scene could only be described as massacre.
They were like they were lined up to be shot. Finally, after nearly two minutes of shooting at each other, the Jiannu Infantry completely collapsed.
They lost all hope, and the firepower of the Ming army made them completely desperate. A large number of Jiannu infantry turned around and ran away in despair. Soon more Jiannu soldiers joined the defeated ranks.
The Jiannu soldiers in despair naturally did not want to die. Even if there were many people behind them, they could no longer stop their defeat.
Defeat is contagious. Even if some Jiannu soldiers want to fight to the death, they will directly cut off their hope of victory when they see others running away, so they will naturally not be willing to fight again.
The so-called for the sake of the Dajin is just a slogan. For this gang of robbers, they do not have any problem of faith. What's more, most of the Jiannu infantry, which were regarded as cannon fodder, were actually mostly born Jurchens who had just been arrested less than a year, and their combat qualities depended on a barbaric habit.
The 60,000 Jiannu infantry army collapsed in an instant, and Jiannu soldiers were defeated like headless flies everywhere, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
No one tried to restore order anymore, because everyone was busy running away. Everyone was running towards the place where horses were stored in the distance. As long as they could run out of these two miles, they could ride on their horses. They could run whatever they wanted. The Ming army could not stop them.
But the Ming Army Command obviously would not give these Jiannu a chance to escape.
"The order Li Wei was sent to lead his cavalry to pursue the Jiannu defeated soldiers and rob Jiannu war horses before the defeated soldiers." Sun Chuanting directly ordered the pursuit. This battle was actually Sun Chuanting's specific command, because the combat methods of the Liaodong soldiers led by Sun Chengzong were different from those of the Central Army.
After receiving the order, Li Wei immediately led two cavalry divisions of the Tengxiang Cavalry Army to break away from the Ming army formation and headed straight to the place where Jiannu stored his war horses.
"I'm going to order the entire army to snatch the Jiannu defeated soldiers with a column, and be sure to wipe out all the soldiers." Sun Chuanting immediately issued another order.
Soon, nearly 30,000 spearmen who were still fighting the so-called "Such" were arranged in columns and rushed out of the military formation like a tide, surrounding and annihilated the Jiannu defeated soldiers.
After the attack of artillery and muskets, more than half of the 60,000 Jiannu infantry had suffered casualties. Under the pursuit of 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 spearmen, under the flat plain terrain, he was destined to be unable to escape.
The defeat of the infantry was obviously expected by the Wild Boar Skin. When Wild Boar Skin saw the Ming army's spearmen and cavalry began to pursue the defeated soldiers, he felt happy on the spot.
"God helps me with big gold, God bless me with big gold. Haha" The wild boar skin couldn't help but laughed out loud. The development of the battle situation in front of him was simply the scene he had always dreamed of.
Then the Wild Boar Skin immediately ordered the entire army to attack and personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack the only remaining 30,000 musketeers in the Ming army like a whirlwind.
Obviously, the wild boar skin didn't know that the Ming army's musketeers were equipped with bayonets. In his seriousness, the 30,000 musketeers in the Ming army were simply a group of sheep with no resistance. As long as they rushed over, they would cut melons and vegetables.
At that time, the 30,000 musketeers and the commander of the Ming army were destroyed first, and then the superior forces defeated the Ming army's spearmen and cavalry who were pursuing the defeated soldiers everywhere, which would make him turn the tables. To be continued.
