Chapter 146 The end of the warhorse
Using a horse to rush forward, this move is not very new.
In the Battle of Sarhu, the Later Jin army used this tactic to break through the Ming army's chariot formation. They used suicide squads to drive away a large number of horses as cannon fodder, allowing them to surge up and disperse the Ming army's chariot formation.
When the Ming army was unable to shoot firearms due to the scattered camp, the elite cavalry of the Later Jin rushed over and killed the Ming army.
From Sarhu to Songjin next year, this move of the Qing army was a test of all kinds.
Almost as the war horses rushed towards the Ming army's car wall, Bartel grinned. At this moment, he seemed to see the dawn of victory. He had pulled out his waist knife and prepared to rush into the Ming dog's car array and chopped off the Ming dog's heads, just like hunting, cutting off all the heads of these thousands of Ming dogs...
But at this moment, Bartel suddenly saw the galloping war horses ahead as if they were hitting an invisible wall, and suddenly fell to the ground. One war horse after another fell to the ground. The moment the running war horses fell to the ground, they broke their bones. Even though some horses rushed out several feet, they still fell down.
Is this... trunk masso?
Almost at the moment when this thought arose in Bartel's mind, Zhu Guoqiang, who saw this scene in the high-power telescope, smiled and said.
"Shen Bao is a bit capable when fighting."
"Criminal Master, General Shen is... trunk Marso?"
Chen Wudi said in a little puzzled.
"Invincible, remember what he said before the war started, when I asked him what he needed?"
"Rope, wire..."
Chen Wudi, who suddenly realized it, said.
"Criminal Master, do you mean that Shen Bao had expected that the Qing army would use horses to rush forward before the battle started?"
"It's a mistake!"
Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"Did he expect Jiannu to use his horses to impulse? I don't know, but he wants ropes and wires, not only to trip horses, but also to trip people. You see, the army's horses fell down a hundred steps away in front of him. When Jiannu rushed forward, he didn't notice a trip horse rope on the ground. It can be imagined that his trip horse rope must be very short, maybe only one foot above the ground, or even hidden in the snow. Whether it is a cavalry or infantry, if you rush to a place with a hundred steps away, you will inevitably be stumbling by a trip horse rope. It is natural that the galloping horse will fall, and the speed of the infantry will slow down..."
Putting down the telescope, Zhu Guoqiang praised.
"If I guess correctly, there are probably no less than a hundred tripping ropes in front of his formation. As long as the speed slows down, he can shoot and kill him at will. As expected, he is a veteran of all kinds of battles..."
Just as Zhu Guoqiang guessed, Shen Bao did set up hundreds of tripping ropes in front of the formation, less than one foot away from the ground. Now these tripping ropes set up with ropes and wires have become the most deadly ties for the horses. At the beginning, Bater thought that even if there were tripping ropes, there would be a few more. As long as the horses rushed forward for a while, they would always rush over, but they thought that the horses were still being tripped by more than ten feet away. In the end, those without spiritual animals were driven away and no longer moved forward. After all, horses could feel threatened. With the constant tripping and injury of horses, the originally galloping horses suddenly stopped. They stood on the battlefield in a daze, letting the Qing army drive them away, and they would not move forward any more.
For a moment, an extremely strange scene appeared on the battlefield. He drove a hundred steps in front of the Ming army's chariot formation, and was filled with thousands of unmanned war horses that were constantly moving. They stood there. Behind them, the brigade of Qing cavalry looked anxiously at the Ming army more than 200 steps away.
At this distance, the gun cannot be shot accurately and the arrow cannot be shot through. Even if the Qing army's arrows could injure the armorless Ming army, they did not move.
"Sir, Minggou's tripping horses are too tight, and the horse team can't rush through it!"
"Damn Minggou! I still don't believe it, they can die in this turtle shell!"
After fighting for so many years, this is the first time that Bartel has encountered such an opponent. When he looked at the main formation of the Ming army in anger, Chen Bao was also watching him. He had only one thought in his mind - he did not seek a complete victory in this battle, but wanted to save his life!
So, he was stunned for this turtle shell!
But he would not defend himself. He almost fell into a stalemate on the battlefield, and he ordered the messenger.
"Appoint the gunner to fire the gun from the left and right wings to the rear of the horses, use heavy socks, and after firing the guns on both wings, use the guns to bombard the horses on the front, and knock the horses to disperse them, and return them to their bodies with the same way. Jiannu rushed to the formation with his horses, and it was impolite to come without going..."
The gunners who received the order adjusted the muzzle between the walls of the car, pointed the muzzle at the Qing army behind the horse's side, and then lit the medicine twist, which dragged the sparks into the fire hole. The cannon chariot suddenly retreated with a "boom", bombing hundreds of heavy socks forward. The heavy socks like raindrops flew towards the Qing army, while the gunners on the front also lit the medicine twists, and their targets were those unowned war horses.
When the overwhelming rain of bullets hit the Qing army, they instinctively wanted to avoid it, but some people were still unable to dodge and were hit with several blood holes. When the Qing cavalry instinctively retreated and wanted to avoid the shelling, the bombardment that came over enveloped the unowned war horses.
Horses may be just animals, but they are also afraid. The threat below the horse's hooves made them hesitate and try to escape the unknown risks. However, the sudden shelling of the shells knocked down a group of war horses, and the injured horses neighed and moaned. The stinging pain from the slightly injured horses made them unexplained, and fear made them run in the direction they came. For a moment, the horses in front of the car wall were running around. The manic war horses even knocked down the nearby Qing army while running. In a hurry, the cavalry on the horse's back fell to the ground one after another. Before the cavalry that fell to the ground could react, the horses behind had already galloped over, and the horses did not hesitate to step on their bodies, causing a wave of ghosts and wolves howling on the battlefield.
The sudden chaos caused a major reversal on the situation on the battlefield.
The Qing cavalry, which seemed to be vast, retreated. Hundreds of Qing cavalry were even stepped on by their war horses and turned into meat paste without even letting out arrows.
Finally, the sound of horse hooves that were originally like thunder became scattered and quickly weakened as the Qing army ran around. The outside of the car wall also quieted down. There was no more shocking cannons, nor the wrath of war horses. Only the biting cold wind blew, blew the thick smoke of the battlefield, revealing the bloody corpses and bullet craters in front of the car wall, and the whine of war horses...
