Chapter 45: Leave a name in history (1)

The east gate of Zunhua suddenly opened, and Taining Guard rushed out of the city gate, and Duoyan Yewei came out of the camp on the left side of the city gate. Duoyan Guard did not directly rush to the formation, but lined up in the open space between the two armies.

It is impossible to directly attack the Ningyuan Guard formation without arranging the array. Without the level and organization of attack, it can only be suicide. Taining Guard bypassed the Yanqing Guard from the right side of the city gate and lined up side by side with Duoyan Guard.

Zhu Zhi saw the movements of Yan Jun at the first time, turned his head to look at Tie Xuan. At this time, he was also looking at Zhu Zhi. The two looked at each other and smiled. Tie Xuan said, "I didn't expect Yan Ni to be bombarded out after less than an hour."

Zhu Zhi said: "Maybe he is waiting, waiting for our gun barrel to turn red."

Tie Hyun said: "But he doesn't know that we have something to deal with him."

Zhu Zhi smiled slightly: "Dingshi, just bring the dishes for them."

The flags on the front of the platform were swung up and down, and the head of the artillery team in front immediately ordered the auxiliary soldiers to pull up the cannon-pull up and install the cannon to retreat.

The square formations of horses on both sides of the formation also began to act together. Under the command of the Hundred Houses and General Banners, the soldiers of each formation were arranged in two rows and trotted face to face, forming four rows of horses and guns with five hundred people in each row.

The pirates were followed by the musketeers. When the pirates ran to the center of the formation to form a battle line, there were two rows of pre-arranged wooden horses in front of the musketeers. The two rows in front of the musketeers stood up, and the rear was divided into two columns of columns that expanded obliquely to the two wings.

So a slightly concave fan was formed in the frontier of Ningyuanwei, with five hundred people in the center and four horse formations; three hundred people in the two wings spread out, and three musketeers were divided into three musketeers, and behind the three musketeers were two auxiliary soldiers responsible for loading.

When shooting, the musketeers in the first row will retreat from the gap next to them and line up to the last line. The loading auxiliary soldiers will hand him a loaded musket. In exchange for the ground-to-air gun that has been shot, and this cycle will be repeated.

The gunners skillfully hung the cannons on the carriage and retreated from both sides through the gap between the card knife hand and the musketeer.

Behind the horse formation are four rows of card knives with 500 people in each row, and behind the card knives is a row of small mortar cannons, which is the big dish that Tie Xuan prepared for the Yan army.

All this was almost done at the same time as the Yan army was in the array. When the artillery team just started to trailer, the opposite side had already completed the array. The horns of Duoyan Guard were roaring. The flags were flying, and the attack was about to begin.

The two armies had a distance of 600 steps, about 500 meters, which exceeded the maximum range of the mortar.

The captain of the mortar cannon commanded a shooting projectile, which was fired with a first-level charge, which landed at about 500 steps; the second shooting projectile used a second-level charge, which landed at a distance of less than 300 steps, if the previous several layers of queues were counted.

This is in line with the artillery practice. The first two rounds of caliber projectiles were solid bullets, and the warheads were all wearing red flags to indicate the distance.

The captain of the mortar cannon ordered, "Two first-level charges, three second-level charges. Two third-level charges, one and three rows of fire at intervals." The launch method of three rows of thirty-six mortar cannons is to charge the first-level charge of the third-level charge, and fire the first-level charge.

Then the second row is launched; next, the first row is the first row, the second row is the third row is the second row, followed by the first row and the second row, and then there are three rows and two-level charges. The cavalry fires once before the charge of three hundred steps, and then all the third-level charges are charged, and the final charge is the third-level charge.

Huo Zhen saw that the formation of Duoyan Guard was organized and issued an order to attack. All Mongolian knights were on horseback, and drum beats were sounded at the city gate behind him. There were 200 cavalrymen in a row, with a total of five rows, holding bows and arrows, urging the horses to move forward.

Duoyanwei does not equip spears, so their mission is not to directly impact the opponent's strong formation, but to find the weaknesses in the formation by riding and shooting.

A thousand households moved forward. The second thousand households led by Huo Zhen and then advanced. The six-sided cowhide drums on the top of the city were thrilling. The cavalry were in high spirits in this kind of drum beat.

The distance between six hundred steps and five hundred steps was only a short time before the smooth-bore artillery team in front retreated the ordinary artillery. The captain of the mortar artillery raised the red flag and watched the cavalry in the second row step across the ground and shoot down hard. The shells in the first and third rows of "Ping Ping Pong" hit out.

The shells flew 400 meters in less than two seconds, and twenty-four flowering bullets fell accurately into the Duoyanwei ground formation. "Boom..." The first flowering bullet exploded in the queue, and then many shells exploded one after another. Some exploded power, some people and horses overturned the sky; some were small, but the iron nails inside still swept the horse's belly and knocked down the horse's knight; some did not even explode but just hit the ground. The flowering bullet technology was still very immature, and those who did not explode could usually reach 30%.

What really caused the Mongols to lose was not the power of the explosion, but the loud noise and smoke from the explosion, which shocked the war horses.

These battle-hardened war horses were not easily frightened, but they had never seen such black lumps explode.

The war horses raised their four hooves and overturned the knights above. Although there was no major casualties, the array was already a little scattered.

There was no charge at 500 to 300 steps, so I could only jog in small steps. The mortar cannon easily fired another round of volleys, and this time there were nearly thirty shells exploded. This time, due to the concentration of firepower, the Mongolian formation became even more messy.

These savages watched the bombardment of artillery fire in horror, causing their comrades to be killed and injured. This was a battle they had never seen before. The other party could attack outside the range of the bed crossbow.

In fact, these shells did not cause them serious casualties.

A short fuse exploded above the array, and subway nails and shells scattered everywhere, and five cavalrymen were swept down. One of the shells flew across the heads of a cavalry, driven by the huge explosion kinetic energy.

The savages felt that they could no longer fight, and a young cavalry turned their horses and left. One person fled, and his morale collapsed immediately. The thousand families of the vanguard collapsed in an instant, and the cavalry shouted and turned around and ran.

Seeing the enemy retreating, Captain Mudrama quickly shouted to change to the first-level charge. The gunner quickly cleared the second-level charge that had been loaded inside. Captain Mudrama was afraid that it would be too late, so he shouted again: "Add the medicine, add the medicine based on his feelings.

"The various levels of charge were loaded in paper bags in advance, and they could be loaded in as soon as they tore open the paper bag. The gunner stopped making sense and quickly tore a new paper bag in a hurry, adding gunpowder to it according to their respective training feelings.

"Let's go, shoot freely!" The captain's orders followed one after another. The "ping-ping-pong-pong" shells were fired out in a mess.

Huo Zhen rushed up angrily and swung his knife to cut over several defeated soldiers, but still could not stop the vanguard's escape. Fortunately, the vanguard cavalry who had vanished from the team following closely behind and fled from both sides, and did not vanish the Qianhuo Zhen's command.

The vanguard cavalry had not escaped clean yet, and the shells of this round had already flew over, but because they were not uniformly charged, the bounce points were very scattered, but they were enough to make the fleeing cavalry run faster.

Several shells exploded in the Huo Zhen formation, and did not cause much casualties. Huo Zhen and his thousands of households struggled to maintain the neat formation and move forward steadily.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhu Di looked at everything in front of him. He was very surprised that there were still artillery fires in the Liaodong military formation, and he was also surprised that these seemingly less powerful shells had such a great impact on the cavalry formation.

Before this, the mortar cannon was only used to attack the city, but it only bombarded fixed targets on the city. This is the first time that the moving target has entered actual combat.

After the first round of rush, the gunners' tension was relieved. Whether it was loading or ignition, the guns began to return to training level, and the rhythm and bounce points of the guns were more deadly than the first round.

This also brought more casualties to the second wave of Mongols, and Huo Zhen led his troops to rush within 400 steps in the fire of artillery.

Because the main general personally supervised the battle, the soldiers gritted their teeth and tried their best to maintain the stability of the formation. Instead, the second wave of attack line seemed relatively complete.

Finally reaching the starting point of the three hundred steps of the impact, Huo Zhen waved his scimitar hard. With a whistle, he rushed forward.

The shells still exploded in the impact formation, and the scorching iron and meat intertwined. The soldiers who were shocked were immediately stepped on by the iron hooves behind them into meat sauce. But the charge always aroused the courage of the Mongolians, and they shouted and rushed down the Ningyuanwei formation.

At a distance of 200 steps, the Jurchens bent their bows and arrows, and rows of arrows flew into the formation, causing a slight casualty to the horse formation.

At nearly a hundred steps away, the rafters had already seen the opponent's impact line. They rushed towards them, and the new and veterans couldn't help but feel a gust of moistening.

But at this distance, the Mongolian cavalry suddenly rotated to the left, and the heroes who started to learn riding and shooting as soon as they walked, twisted their bodies nimblely and sent out another rain of arrows.

But even if the arrows are fired at this distance, it will not cause much casualties to the Liaodong soldiers. Only scattered soldiers were shot and injured in their arms and other non-important positions retreated from the line of fire.

The cavalry spinning to the left flew past the musketman. The musketman stared at his small flag nervously, and the small flag was staring at the general flag. The general flag was staring at the hundred households. The hundred households were staring at the thousand households in charge of command.

But there was no signal when all the thousands of households led by Huo Zhen passed. The musketeers were waiting silently, and the discipline required them not to act without permission at any time. Even if the other party cut the sword on his head.

The third wave of Mongolian cavalry was doing the same thing, and Zhu Di at the city gate was already a little impatient. The land casualties brought to the opponent by the Duoyan guard attack were in proportion to the land casualties brought by the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army.

Moreover, the formation of Ningyuan Guard did not loosen at all. Zhu Di decisively ordered the Mingjin to call back the futile Duoyan Guard, and at the same time ordered the Taining Guard and the Yanshan Central Guard to assault. The Taining Guard targeted the junction of the musketeer and the cavalry and rifle formation.

On the other side, Zheng Heng led the Yanshan Forewarts to slowly leave the city and enter the Duoyanwei's starting position.

The first wave of Qianhu in Taining was placed on all the spears according to Zhu Di's order. They lined up an attack line of 200 people and walked forward slowly.

Taining Guards were not heavy guards, but at this time Zhu Di used them to rush forward. In order to further consume the front-line power of the Liaodong Army, he did not expect them to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Another cannon was heard at the top of the city. When Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu saw the attack orders issued by the above, the soldiers of the Right Guard and the Central Guard immediately got on the horse. They lagged slightly behind Taining Guard and set off slowly.
