Chapter 317 Camel's Fighting Horse
The heavy cavalry of the Later Jin rushed towards the Ming munitions team, with only one hundred and fifty steps left. For the cavalry, it only took more than ten breaths to rush to the Ming army.
I saw the Ming army formation flashing in front of me, and a row of deafening guns sounded. The high-speed cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, which had already reached the highest speed, fell down one after another like dumplings. The heavy projectiles of the nine-headed bird gun hit the human body, and the whole person exploded, turning into a scattered blood and flesh foam. Even if it wiped the arms and thighs, the arms and thighs immediately fell from the body, hitting the war horse, and the war horse made a sad neighing sound. After the projectile hit the human body, it could penetrate the second, the third, and even five people in succession!
One hundred nine-headed birds and heavy muskets were sing together, and the Later Jin soldiers and horses fell to the ground.
The distance was closer, and I heard the deafening roar of bird guns. A thousand bird guns were sing together. The distance between the two sides was only thirty steps away. The bird gun projectiles hit the body, and the double thick armor became as weak as paper. They were easily penetrated by the projectile, leaving a small hole. Hundreds of Jurchen soldiers lowered their heads in horror, looked at their bloody bodies, and then fell from the horse's back. Some Jurchen cavalry were hit on the head, and a hole was immediately broken on their helmets, and the projectile drilled into the skull, and they turned into corpses without even reacting.
The tiger squat cannon and the Folang aircraft also fired at the same time. Rows of shotguns pierced into the Jurchen cavalry crowd, knocking down a large area.
It was almost time to approach the enemy from thirty steps. When the Jurchen cavalry approached the Ming munitions, they found that a row of brown and yellow behemoths suddenly appeared in front of them. The war horses under their crotch neighed and hit the camel who had just stood up.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse, let alone a well-mannered camel. When the war horse hits a camel, people suddenly fall over and the cavalry in front fall in rows.
The camel that was hit was obviously angry and spread his hooves and rushed back into the cavalry.
The two sides were very close, and the Jurchen cavalry had no time to dodge. They were hit by a row of camels in front. The cavalry on the horses were all dismounted. The war horses that were rushing at high speed hit the camels. The bones of the war horses broke and the people on the horses landed on the ground. Then the furious camel stepped on the body of the Later Jin soldiers. Even if they were wearing thick armor, they could not stop the camels from kicking.
Some Jurchen soldiers with extremely high cavalry fighting skills held a short spear in their hands. Before hitting the camel, they stabbed them out, and then turned their horse's head to run. However, the stabbed camel did not fall down, but instead rushed up in anger. The cavalry who had just turned the horse's head was knocked over by the camel before they could raise the speed.
"Let me go!" Li Guodong shouted.
The meaning of "release" is not to fire a gun, but to fire a camel.
The second batch of camels stood up again, driven by their master, and rushed towards the Jin cavalry.
War horses are spiritual animals. When they saw those giants rushing towards them, the horses were already in chaos. Some Jurchen soldiers collided with each other and fell from the horse's backs.
The Ming army bird gunners riding on the camel's back pulled the trigger one after another. A row of guns fired, and another group of Jurchen cavalry fell off the horse. Then the bird gunners carried the bird gun on their backs, took off the spears from the camel's back, drove the camels, and rushed into the Jurchen cavalry crowd.
The Jurchen cavalry did not dare to confront the camel soldiers head-on, and turned around and left.
Seeing that the once arrogant Jurchen cavalry was beaten by the Ming army, the three Khalkha Khans issued an order almost at the same time: "Strike!"
Under the dark moonlight, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry surged up like a tide.
Before the Mongolians approached the Jurchen cavalry, they controlled their war horses, lit their bows and arrows, and shot light arrows one after another. The Mongolian light cavalry circled around the Jurchen cavalry like a lantern, not giving the Jurchens the opportunity to fight in close combat. They just shot arrows from afar. When they saw the Jurchens rushing up, they immediately turned around and left. They knew that their light armor and the Jurchens' heavy armor could not be touched head-on, so they adopted the method of wandering and shooting arrows.
Many Jurchen cavalry were shot into hedgehogs, but their thick armor blocked the arrows. They looked like they were covered with arrows, but they were not injured, and at most they only had a little skin trauma.
But the Ming army camel soldiers broke back again. The bird gunner on the camel's back picked up the loaded bird guns and sprayed out a row of fire again, causing the Jurchen cavalry to fall from the horse's back one after another.
This is the benefit of camels. Bird gunners can ride camels to load gunpowder and bullets, but it is impossible to load them on horseback. Sitting between two camels is much more stable than riding on horseback. They can load bird guns on camels. Although not every bird gunner can ride camels to load bullets, three hundred bird gun soldiers riding camels are enough.
In fact, even if the two rounds of camels' charge could not stop the Jurchen heavy cavalry. Li Guodong was not worried about it because there was a circle of camel city outside the artillery team. The camel was tied with a large wooden box and covered with thick felt. It was a city composed of camels. It was simply a cavalry. In real history, Galdan's camel firearms defeated Kang Mazi's Eight Banners Cavalry. If it weren't for the Han artillery artillery, Kang Mazi would not have beaten Galdan.
Mongolian cavalry surrounds the Jurchen cavalry and harass them, attracting the Jurchen cavalry and scattering their formation.
Although the heavy cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty was well-equipped and thick armor, their horse riding skills were not as good as those of the Mongols. They were like a hammer hitting a mosquito, and they were not powerful enough. So many Jurchen cavalry simply turned over and dismounted, took out their insurgent bows, and shot out an arrow. Many Mongolian cavalry fell off the horse. A group of Jurchen soldiers dismounted and shot arrows, while another group of Jurchen soldiers rode their horses to kill while their partners shot the Mongols with arrows. The elite Jurchen cavalry rushed to the Mongols, and no Mongol could have a round under the Jurchen cavalry. The Jurchen cavalry turned into bows and cavalry to cooperate, knocking many Mongols down from the horses.
Li Guodong was already riding a horse, and he pointed forward with a horse spear in his hand: "Kill!"
"Kill slaves! Kill slaves!" Two thousand heavy cavalry of Ming army rushed out from behind the Mongolian cavalry and launched the final blow on the Jurchen cavalry.
The most important thing when heavy cavalry fights is speed. The Jurchen heavy cavalry was harassed by Mongolian light cavalry and had already lost its speed. Almost every Jurchen cavalry had three or four Mongolian soldiers surrounded him to shoot arrows. The Jurchens could only dismount and shoot arrows, or chase the Mongols on horseback. Suddenly, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army rushed over.
Li Guodong took the lead and stabbed a Jurchen cavalry in his hand into the chest. Under the action of horsepower, the heavy spear tip of the armor-breaking cone easily tore open the double armor of the Jurchen soldier, broke the ribs, and stabbed into his body. The Jurchen cavalry screamed and fell off his horse.
The heavy cavalry of the Ming army behind came like a tide, and only a roar of three-eyed guns was heard, and the Jurchen cavalry, who were so close to each other fell from their horses one after another.
The heavy cavalry of the Ming army rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry who dismounted and shot archers. The horse's hooves rumbled, and the iron armored cavalry were getting closer and closer to the Jurchens.
"Run!" The Jurchen soldiers dropped their arches, pushed the horses to the Ming army, spread their legs and ran away.
The Ming army infantry also rushed up. The two Rakshasa soldiers were the most brave. They were carrying a coercion gun in one hand and a large axe in the other, and rushed to the first one. When they were only fifty steps away from the Jurchen soldiers, the two Rakshas soldiers put the axe on the ground, put the coercion gun on the axe, aiming at the two Later Jin soldiers who rushed over on foot to pull the trigger.
Two Rakshasa convex guns and more than 500 Ming army bird guns roared at the same time, and the Jurchen soldiers rushing over fell.
