Chapter 755 Tiger Might Army Tiger Might Army
"Flat spear, resist horses!!"
With the shout of the general, the spearmen soldiers of the Tiger Wei army in the front shouted in unison. The first row stood on the lunge, leaned forward, the spears were tilted, and the tail end was inserted into the soil. The second row of spears had the spears flat end, the third row of spears was obliquely upward, the fourth row had a larger angle, and the fifth row was as follows.
After the order, the first half of the spearmen's queue immediately turned into a steel thorn jungle made of sharp blades. The spearmen were changing, and the musketeers arranged on both sides of the spearmen's queue were rearranged, and everyone was nervously loading ammunition.
Some people were screaming and screaming on the battlefield. This was not the casualties just now. The Han and civilian infantry who were blocking the Tatar cavalry were no longer covered, but became an obstacle.
The Tartar cavalry rushed over with their horses regardless of their concern and killed them with their weapons so that their horses could rush up and rush faster.
This time, the Tartars invested a large number of cavalry, and even more elite cavalry in the Khan Tent. In the face of such a rush of momentum, they did not believe that infantry without cover could be blocked and could not escape in the face of such shock.
Looking at the cold array in front of you, it was just a scam. When they rushed to the front, they would disperse and they would definitely take off their armor.
Some of the cavalry who drove the Han people just wanted to shoot arrows a distance, but there was no blockage from muskets in front of them. However, as soon as the horse slowed down, it would be hit and killed by muskets on both sides of the spear array.
There is no other choice, so I can only rush. After all, the musket soldiers are still preparing. Shooting from both sides, there are certain dead corners. When they rush to the front, they can rush down the Ming army's spear array. Everyone is whipping the horses desperately. There are corpses on the ground, and the horse's degree is difficult to lift. The noise and noise behind them are getting more and more violent. If they slow down, they will be hacked to death by their companions behind them, or fall to the ground and trampled to death by horse hooves.
The sound of the damn musket sounded again, and people kept falling from the horse, but such damage was nothing compared to the metal storm that suddenly blew up from the front, and there was still a chance to rush in front of you.
Thirty steps, the Ming soldiers opposite were not in chaos, twenty steps, the Ming soldiers in front were still in a stable formation, and the upper half of the face covered by the armor was very indifferent, and only the cold eyes could be seen facing each other.
Ten steps, the Ming army's spear array was still motionless. In front of it were the cold steel thorns. When they hit it, the leather armor on their bodies could not stop the spear's thorns, but it was too late to hold the mount now.
Horses are not dead objects, they also have life and fear, and they also have instinctive reactions to sharp objects. Although they are driven to rush forward, their instincts still make the horse mess.
Some horses stood up without regard for control, but the inertia brought by running caused the horse to roll directly. Some horses forced to turn, but they were also unable to do so. They were directly held on the ground. Some cavalry used spurs to penetrate the horse's belly desperately, and the severe pain caused the horse to rush into the spear array regardless of the consequences.
The spear array was like a mountain, like a reef in the sea, resisting the fierce rushing moment in front of him. The spear pierced the horses in front of him, and the cavalry on the horses, and the rolling horses. Some soldiers broke the spear pole with huge impact, and fell to the ground, and their companions immediately rushed up.
This moment was even more cruel than when the musket was fired just now. The distance between the two sides was closer to the range where they could fight. The spear penetrated into the body and made heart-wrenching screams. Some Tartar cavalry shot out bows and arrows and threw out the short axes and sabers in their hands, but these could not cause damage to the armor of the Ming spearmen.
The soldiers of the Ming army roared, looking for any gaps, stabbed the spear in their hands, and kept stabbing out. The formation was slowly moving forward, stabbing out slowly. The team officials and battalions slashed with the axes and guns in their hands, chopping off the Tartar cavalry in front of them from the horse, and then stabbed them to death.
The shooting of the two-wing muskets finally became dense and attacked the cavalry rushing from the front and opposite the spearmen. This constant shooting could not completely stop the cavalry's charge, but it could prevent the cavalry's charge from forming continuous and continuously put pressure on the spear formation.
The artillery team's position is still busy, and Wang Tong's personal guards and the elite horses with him have begun to enter the battle. In terms of individual combat capabilities, they are much stronger than musket soldiers and spear soldiers. The front of the enemy's attack is mainly facing the spear array, so Wang Tong's personal guards can still stop them.
Wang Tong held a Park Knife in his hand and watched calmly. On the east side of the Huwei Army Chariot, he could see the roundabout Tartar cavalry team. After the attack wave in front of him, he could see a larger-scale cavalry surging, and the messengers behind him were still running.
Jizhen needs more horse support. The pressure put by the Tartars on the Jizhen army does not have to be inferior to the Huwei Army. Jizhen army generals dare not let their soldiers go to war, for fear that the soldiers would be defeated by the cavalry in the field, but they are not very useful. The messengers on the Wanglou have seen two infantry teams gathering in the side van formation. It seems that Wang Tong's method must be used.
The trumpet and drum sounded at various rhythms, and the Tartars were constantly dispatching troops and generals. The Tartars commander was quite capable of grasping the overall situation. He kept using the power in his hands, not only was he at the upper hand, but he was about to completely encircle the Ming army, and the situation was still tilting towards the Tartars little by little.
Under such a difficult situation, the assembly of the trench machine is still in an orderly manner. The tall wooden frame is gradually forming, and the force arms made of long wood are being hoisted on it and have begun to be connected with leather ropes.
"Master, I'm only three hundred steps away from the cycling formation!"
There was a loud roar behind, and an order came from the chariot formation. The security army also had the ability to use firearms. The eldest husband in the chariot formation could also fight with a spear and a big knife. What they lacked was just experience on the battlefield. With the chariot formation as a support, they had enough combat power, and Wang Tong was not worried.
But at this point, Wang Tong looked at the cannon formation beside him. Most of the cannons had already started the final work, and Wang Tong slowly raised his hand.
"boom!!"
A muffled sound stopped Wang Tong's movements. The roar of the cannon did not come from his own cannon array and the position behind him, but was on Jizhen. Did the general cannons there finally fire?
"Master, the cannons fired in Jizhen, and a Huihuan was defeated!!
Even without the transmission of the commander, Wang Tong could hear the excited shouting of the guards on the tower. His voice was already hoarse, even though the soldier carried a kettle with him.
The power of the cannon is not inferior to that of the Huwei Army. The sound of thunder kept ringing. Such cannons were not suitable for carriages. Jizhen soldiers carried a total of ten gates.
After ten loud noises, the guards on the Lookout Tower were very disappointed, because only two cannons hit the target, and the rest of the thief stood tall and gradually became complete.
The artillery on the earthen platform has no accuracy, and can only be fired based on the experience of the gunner. This is also the artillery of the Ming army is mostly used for siege and rarely used in field battles.
After this firing, the turret will have to be rebuilt and cleaned the barrel again, which will take a lot of time. The question is that there are several stone casters over there that have already started to add counterweights and will be completed soon. Will the soldiers in Jizhen still shoot the second shell?
The roar of artillery had already opened a bloody road in the Tartars' queue. The two largest general artillery even attacked the Tartars' original formation, but the killing was not decisive. After a little chaos, the entanglement continued, and the catapults continued to be complete.
The roar of dense muskets and cannons also sounded behind Wang Tong. Wang Tong turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the Tartar cavalry attacking the chariot formation falling down in front of the chariot formation. They avoided and started shooting arrows into the formation, but at that distance, the arrows had no use, and could only swim slowly.
But they could not gain any expected advantage in front of this car formation. The main force did come out of the protection of the car formation, but the people who stayed in the car formation could also be used as warriors.
"Master, the artillery team is ready!!"
Zhang Wu shouted loudly, Mu En stared at the battlefield ahead. Outside the range of the muskets, the Tartar cavalry began to reasonably open up the corpses on the battlefield. This was not for mercy or mercy, but for the purpose of clearing a flatter attack space for the cavalry behind. The new cavalry are much more elite than those just now, with neat formations, and their armor and weapons also appear more refined.
It seems that the Tartars have also taken out their core strength. Everyone can understand what the Tartars have to do. As long as the catapult completes the attack, the array will be broken, and the battlefield will become an advantageous cavalry to kill the infantry. They have a good idea and a good plan. At least Wang Tong did not know until this time that the Tartars still have such long-range weapons.
Wang Tong looked at the Tartar cavalry team lined up and said in a stern voice: "Don't fire the nine-jin cannons, aim at the Huihui cannons, and the six-jin cannons fired the Tartar cavalry team!!"
After saying that, Wang Tongxiangqian waved his hand, Mu En immediately yelled and prepared. The artillerymen took out the red-burning iron rod from the brazier. At the same time, the big cowhide drum on the opposite side sounded and the cavalry brigade of the Tartars began to move forward.
He quickly looked at the cannons everywhere and saw that they were ready. Mu En took a deep breath and then shouted: "Fire the cannon!!"
The artillery team has been fighting for a coward since they stepped onto the grassland. At this time, they finally had a happy opportunity. The artillery members lit the leads...
