Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 508 Night Battle 4
The sound of the rocket launch is very frightening, especially at night, when more than a dozen rockets fire at the same time, the terrifying screeching sound, the clusters of fireballs flying across the night sky at extremely high speed, and the fire that illuminates half of the sky The flame can only be described as "shock".Even if its range is only two to 3000 meters, even if its explosive power is scumbag compared to modern rocket launchers, it is still a killer weapon filled with one kilogram of collodion, which will explode, and will ignite a fire after the explosion!A forest of flames rose from the area where the Houjin army was located. The thunderous explosion almost blew away the clouds in the night sky. God knows how many Houjin soldiers were reduced to ashes in this overwhelming shelling. How many people were covered in fire, and many pieces of shrapnel were shot into their bodies, and they fell into the sea of ​​flames, moaning and wailing!
The Mongolian army looked frightened, with men shouting and horses neighing in chaos.

Guan Ningjun's complexion turned pale, and he looked at each other in shock.

Guanmenchuan Army, Tianxiong Army, Heluo New Army, Dongjiang Army...the soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Erwangtun were all greatly boosted in morale. They held their weapons high and cheered enthusiastically, especially the Dongjiang Army. After seeing the huge blockbuster, the Jin soldiers After being swallowed up by the overwhelming flames, their originally low morale instantly stopped falling and rebounded, and it shot up like a rocket!The volleys of rocket launchers from the Heluo New Army left a deep impression on them. When they saw the bolide forming heavy rain and pouring down into the middle of the Jin army, they knew that they would win this battle!
Hauge clenched his fists and his eyes were so red that he was about to spurt blood.Damn it, it's this ghost cannon again!This Ghost Cannon is too powerful, hundreds of them will be killed or burned to death every time they fire a volley, how can this battle be fought!All the generals of Hou Jin were all out of their wits, looking at each other, they all saw the same pale faces.The firearms of the Ming army are so powerful, if they are applied to the battlefield on a large scale, does Hou Jin still have any hope of winning?Concentrate dozens of such rocket launchers for a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, even if the army is hit by iron, it will collapse!
Yang Menglong could see all the chaos in Houjin, and his childish baby face showed a smirk: "You know you are afraid? Don't worry, this is just the beginning, and these cannons, howitzers, and rocket launchers are also used for the first time. On the battlefield, my mortar and breech-loading rifle have not yet been produced, we have plenty of time, let's play slowly!"

Fu Zonglong ran over with a group of civil servants. The old man also looked shocked. He grabbed Yang Menglong's hand and called, "Champion Marquis, just now... just now..." He couldn't even finish his sentence. It can be seen that the scene of the rocket salvo just now gave him a lot of attention. caused a huge shock.

Yang Menglong smiled calmly and said, "It's just rocket shooting, nothing new. Look, it's about to start again!"

Before the words fell, a series of palpitating roars came from the artillery position. Four cannons and six howitzers fired at the same time. A few hundred meters away, bright red fireballs rose from the area where Jin Dajun was located. The explosion sounded like thunder. Fu Zonglong swears that he has never seen such a terrifying firearm!Although it shows that the army also has flower bombs, everyone knows that the lethality of that thing is actually very bad. How many people can be killed depends on luck. If it is in a bad mood and doesn't explode or only explodes two pieces, then no one can do anything.But looking at these ten cannons, they are completely different. One cannon cannon kills not only a hundred or dozens, but also twenty or thirty!Such a terrifying firearm, even if you have copper skin and iron bones, you can't resist it!Before he could marvel, the Heluo New Army roared wildly, and tens of thousands of voices merged into thunderous thunder, shaking the sky for ten miles:

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

Every time these guys roared in unison, the enemy must be greeted by crossbow arrows thicker than the rainstorm. Afterwards, the golden warrior picked up the shield to cover his vitals like a conditioned reflex, and was forced to react instinctively coming.However, this time the Heluo New Army did not follow the script. After a roar, not a single crossbow arrow was fired, but the scream of the rocket launcher made people's soul tremble.Fu Zonglong could see clearly this time. More than a dozen four-wheeled carriages equipped with three rows of iron pipes spurted out dazzling flames from the mouths of the pipes. The white smoke flooded the entire launch site like a tsunami, but the ferocious flames continued. It sprang out from inside, and then, in the area where the Houjin army was located, explosive points exploded all over the mountains and plains. There was almost no gap in the explosion, and the shields in the hands of the Houjin warriors flew all over the sky together with their arms.Such a shocking scene left him speechless and speechless.The faces of Wen Tiren's confidants were even more frighteningly pale. The guy with the white face and long beard even trembled uncontrollably and murmured: "The magic, the magic, it must be the magic!"

The roar of the explosion was still echoing between the sky and the earth, and the sound of the horn sounded, desolate and gloomy, with endless murderous aura, which made people feel awe-inspiring.Accompanied by heavy drumbeats, the Heluo New Army moved.Three thousand archers were drawn out, lined up in three rows with crossbows in hand, and strode forward with drumbeats, followed by 1000 and two hundred heavy infantry, and behind them were five thousand pikemen, five thousand The four-meter-long rifles merged into a dense steel jungle, striding forward with neat steps. When the entire army formation moved, it seemed like a mountain front was moving.More than a dozen green flares were also fired from the other side of the pier, and the drums were beating loudly, hitting everyone's hearts. The more than 4000 soldiers who had established a defense line at the pier left the fortress they had built with great difficulty. , leaving the protection of the naval guns, the archers were in front and the pikemen were behind, advancing like a wall.The explosion of the third round of rocket launchers stung everyone's eyes so hard that they could hardly open their eyes, but their armor was still black and without a trace of reflection. These thousands of troops were like Shura legions coming out of hell!
The Tianxiong army also blew the horn of attack, and the brigade of red-clothed musketeers drove out of the camp, lined up in three rows and slowly advanced towards the rear Jin army.When they were hiding in the camp, the Houjin army was very angry. When they walked out of the camp, the Houjin army's anger turned into fear. They knew better than anyone the horror of these red musketeers. Approaching thirty steps, three platoons of guns came over, and thousands of people were killed or injured. Who wouldn't be afraid of this kind of attack?Amidst the shouts and shouts, a group of cavalry raised their swords and roared wildly, rushing towards the Tianxiong army. The faces of the knights on horseback were distorted, and it was unknown whether it was fear or anger.

What greeted them was, of course, a volley of guns.The sound of gunshots like exploding beans kept ringing out. The cavalrymen and horses rushing into the formation erupted into clouds of blood mist and fell down screaming. None of the many cavalrymen could rush in front of the Tianxiong Army.

On the side of the Heluo New Army, the roar of broken crossbows swept across the battlefield. The roaring Houjin cavalry and their horses rushed towards them and rolled into a ball, as if they were being fired upon by heavy machine guns.Three thousand archers took turns firing, and there was a constant rain of arrows. No matter whether they were men or horses, they would fall down if they were hit by an arrow. This was a murderous weapon that could shoot more than 500 meters away. An arrow would never penetrate it. It's as simple as a hole, and the bones will be broken!In the encirclement, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing was like a tsunami, thrilling. Through the firelight planted by the rocket launchers, we could see that the men and horses on the front line of the Hou Jin Cavalry fell in rows. The number of corpses on the ground continued to increase, one layer after another, and the air The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, and the scene is really chilling.

Fu Zonglong's blood boiled with excitement, and he clenched his fists tightly. He really wished he could bring a team of people and rush up to fight with Hou Jin!He regretted it very much. The fighting power of the Ming army in this battle was completely beyond his imagination. Needless to say, the Heluo Xin army and Tianxiong army were the strongest army in Ming Dynasty, and the impact of Guan Ning's iron cavalry was not too fierce. In other words, even the Dongjiang army, which has always been inconspicuous, has fought bloody and fought extremely tenaciously, not to mention that there are nearly ten thousand newly attached Mongolian troops with green eyes, looking forward to rushing up to do a big fight, so A strong army, encircling [-] Jiannu who were tortured by hunger and exhaustion to the point of being unable to straighten their backs, is simply a gift for nothing. If I had known this, why would he still talk so much nonsense to the generals? Just let them go If you fight, you can share the credit with yourself!

With such a strong army, Daming has no worries!
The white face and long beard turned whiter, and he looked at several colleagues, each of them was worried.

The strength of that dumbass is so powerful!It's okay that he is a loyal minister. If he is determined to rebel, who can stop him?What's even more frightening is that he still has a large number of extremely powerful cannons in his hands!

We can no longer let him grow stronger, we must find a way to weaken his strength!A military general with too much strength, whether loyal or traitorous, is of no benefit to the Wenchen Group, just as Kong Youde said: Ming Dynasty does not need a victorious general, let alone an invincible iron army!

What the Wenchen Group wants is to firmly control all power in their own hands. No matter whether the person sitting on the dragon chair is surnamed Zhu or Aixinjueluo, as long as they can delegate power to them, they will bow to him!

In a blink of an eye, the new army of Heluo was already facing off with the gold inlaid red flag.In the Battle of Erwangtun, the red flag inlaid made Heluo's new army suffer badly. Even their flag leader Yue Tuo had Yang Menglong beheaded in front of everyone. This shameful humiliation was tormented like boiling oil The hearts of the soldiers inlaid with red flags made them mad with grief and indignation. Now that their enemies met, they were extremely jealous. Although they were shot with corpses all over the ground by the crossbow, they still rushed over in wave after wave.After shooting the five crossbow arrows in the arrow box, the archer had no chance to reload the arrows at all, and the golden cavalry rushed to the front!The heavy infantry surpassed the archers and stood in front of the rear golden cavalry. 1000 or two hundred long-handled giant axes were raised at the same time and fell at the same time. With one blow of the axe, both men and horses were shattered, and the blood splashed several meters high.This kind of invulnerable heavy infantry has always been the nightmare of nomads. It is difficult for their sabers and spears to cause any substantial damage to the heavy infantry. What's more terrible is that there are five thousand pikemen behind the heavy infantry. They can rush through the iron walls of heavy infantry, and they will also be stabbed into a hornet's nest by thousands of four-meter-long rifles!
After a moment's hesitation, the three thousand archers retreated into the middle of the hollow phalanx, calmly reloaded five crossbow arrows into the empty arrow box, and then raised the formation-breaking crossbow obliquely, aiming at it. The post-golden cavalry charging forward on horseback...

This hollow phalanx composed of hoplites, pikemen, and archers made Houjin suffer a lot. If he wanted to break through this phalanx, he had no other way but to fill it with several times as many corpses.However, it seems that Houjin is only 2 horses now, even if it is all filled, it is not enough...

On the other side of the pier, the four thousand sailors were even more brave. Instead of forming a hollow phalanx, they placed three rows of pikemen at the front, followed by archers and grenadiers. Flying overhead, it rained down among the Golden Warriors, causing them huge casualties.The rear golden infantry cavalry pressed forward at the same time, but the four-meter-long rifle made it difficult for them to advance an inch, and their attempts to attack sideways were ruthlessly smashed by the rain of arrows and grenades that flew over accurately.In the night battle, the Houjin Eight Banners are also no match for the Heluo New Army!
