Chapter 276 God came to kill Yue Tuo with one shot Yue Tuo Yue Tuo once invested in the red flag four elite cavalry full of Niu Lu, on the battlefield in Liaodong, after many practices, this more than 1,200 cavalry was enough to easily defeat tens of thousands of elite field corps of the Ming army."
Woo woo ......"
In the sound of the whimpering horn of the bull and horn, the elite soldiers with red flags galloped on their horses, while picking up their riding bows, pulling their bows and arrows ready to go.Under the power of thousands of troops, these elite cavalry of the Houjin are very experienced in combat, and they often do not rush to the front of the Ming army, and the formation of the Ming army will be scattered.However, at this time, the soldiers of the Shanxi Army, the soldiers in front of the queue looked at the robe behind them from time to time with the spare eyes of their eyes, holding steaming meat and wheat rice."
Fragrant, so fragrant!"
The soldiers of the Shanxi Army knew very well that they had to withstand the attack of the Houjin cavalry, otherwise they would never be able to eat this mouthful.Yue Tuo looked coldly at the Shanxi army in the distance: "It's a little interesting!"
”The Houjin cavalry each has two kinds of arrows, one is a light arrow, which has a long range and is not strong in armor-piercing ability, and the other is a heavy arrow, which has a strong armor-piercing ability, but the range is very close, no more than fifty steps at the farthest, and the best killing effect is in thirty to fifty steps.However, in this range, they did not have an advantage, because the Ming army, whether it was a firearm or a bow and crossbow, could catch them.At this time, when the cavalry was about seventy or eighty paces, the bows and arrows in the hands of the Houjin cavalry were throwing a rain of arrows.More than 1,000 cavalry bows were opened at the same time, and extremely sharp arrows burst out, cutting through an oblique arc, and directly hitting the spears at the front of the Shanxi army, dense as oblique rain!
The shields of these two thousand pikemen were not absent, but they were few in number, four or five hundred.On average, three or four pikemen only have a shield to match, it can be said that there is no cover, sharp arrows poured down, shot at their faces, chests, necks, the muffled sound of arrows tearing flesh and blood, the originally tight queue instantly had more gaps, the soldiers of the Shanxi Army who fell to the ground with arrows covered their wounds, their bodies spasmed, and they were in pain, but no one said a word.The soldiers in the back row, who were not hit by the arrow, stepped forward silently, and the gap that had been punched was immediately filled, and although the queue was scattered, it did not waver.Lu Xiangsheng rode on horseback and held the eight-fold telescope given to him by Quan Xu, which was the official military product that Quan Xu got, and the military 62-type 8x30 telescope of our army in the props group.This kind of looking mirror actually has a general effect, that is to say, within the range of eight hundred meters, looking at it is almost like a distance of one hundred meters, at this time, Lu Xiangsheng is about three thousand meters away from Shanxi Junmo, and it looks like it is four or five hundred meters away, which is very clear.Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Geng Ruqi's soldiers are good!
”Lu Xiangsheng is also a literati thinker, and the credit of the Shanxi Army was directly pressed on Geng Ruqi by Lu Xiangsheng, and as for the chief military officer Zhang Honggong, Lu Xiangsheng also directly ignored it."
It's just that the equipment is too poor!"
Quan Xu echoed Lu Xiangsheng and said, "If there are eight hundred musketeers in the Shanxi army, at this time, you should be able to leave at least one-third of the thousands of cavalry in Houjin!"
”Although this musket has no rifling, the range is the same as that of the heavy arrows of the Houjin cavalry, and it has greater lethality within the range of thirty and fifty paces.Of course, the armor-piercing ability is much stronger than the heavy arrow.Even the white-armored soldiers of Houjin wearing three layers of heavy armor can't carry the firearms equipped in the Quanxu army."
Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
The Red Banner cavalry rushed and threw at the same time.They did not charge directly into battle, but rushed to a distance of about fifty paces of the Shanxi army, began to fire arrows, and then the cavalry made a ninety-degree turn to the left and right flanks.As waves of arrows shrouded down, the arrows rained down like a raging wind, and the spearmen of the Shanxi army fell in pieces.Their armor is of good quality, and they can withstand a direct hit from a light arrow at this distance, but their limbs, face, and neck are not so well protected, and the vast majority of fallen soldiers are hit by arrows in these parts.These more than 1,000 golden archers were indeed well-trained, and they could fire three arrows in an instant, and the dense rain of arrows caused heavy casualties to the Shanxi army.Yang Shien, who was standing next to Quan Xu, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.This way of fighting is clearly to let those pikemen send them to death, and it is worthless to send them to death, how can there be such a war.In just three rounds of arrow rain, the Shanxi army fell five or six hundred pikemen, with nearly one-tenth of the casualties, but their formation was still tightly organized.The crossbowmen and musketeers behind the pikemen counterattacked the Houjin cavalry, which was less likely to be hit due to its speed, and so far less than fifty horsemen had fallen from their horses.The casualty exchange ratio is close to 10 to 1.Quan Xu said to Liu Quan: "Liu Quan, what are you doing, order the artillery to open fire and support the Shanxi Army!"
”Quan Xu stopped the three artillery regiments directly, and laid out an inverted layout, with the first artillery regiment in the center, the second regiment on the right flank, covering Li Chongzhen on the right flank, and the third artillery regiment on the left flank, going forward to cover the thunder sound department."
Aim and then fight, don't hurt your own people!"
Quan Xu held a ballpoint pen and drew three arcs on a piece of paper: "You can test the artillery first, fifty steps before the Shanxi Army, this position belongs to the First Artillery Regiment, between this line and this line, it is the space for you to play freely, and so on, the Second Regiment, have you seen it, the cavalry of Houjin has moved, they want to attack the Lei Shisheng Division, you smash here!"
”"Master Quan, General Quan, you are optimistic!"
Liu Quan inadvertently turned his head and looked at a carriage in the middle of the Houjin cavalry, and there seemed to be a Houjin nobleman sitting on the carriage, because around this carriage, there were fifty or sixty white-armored soldiers guarding it.You must know that the white armor soldiers have always been Houjin's sharp knife troops, and they are all used to attack fortifications, not to be bodyguards."
Gun No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, you three, aim for that carriage!"
At this time, Yue Tuo didn't know that he had been targeted by death, and he was very dissatisfied that three or four rounds of arrow rain had not knocked down the Shanxi army, and he hurriedly said: "Change the arrows, change the heavy arrows, use the armor-piercing heavy arrows!"
”Armor-piercing heavy arrows are the secret weapons of the Houjin archers, which can easily break through the best quality mountain armor of the Ming army, the killing power is very terrifying, but the cost is high, and the armor rate of the Ming army is pitifully low, under normal circumstances, they are reluctant to use armor-piercing heavy arrows.Now that the Ming army is almost up to their waists, there is no time to break the formation for them, so they can't take care of it!
A thousand archers drew their thick and long armor-piercing heavy arrows with slightly trembling hands, and pulled their bows to the shape of a full moon, and the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air was like a harrier eagle's long roar, which was terrifying.The heavy armor-piercing arrows roared down with great force, piercing the pikemen's breastplates and helmets, and the unfortunate pikemen fell in large pieces, screams of pain finally escaping from between their teeth.The irrepressible scream made the Houjin archer secretly breathe a sigh of relief, it turns out that you also know that it hurts!
At this time, Geng Ruqi ordered: "Zhou Chongrui, Yang Henian, take your top up!"
”"The last general obeys!"
Zhou Chongrui and Yang Henian's department were in charge of eating in advance, and almost all of the more than 2,000 soldiers ate with tears in their eyes, and for the first time in three days, they had eaten a greeting meal.However, this meal was exchanged for the lives of his comrades-in-arms, and he was worried that there would not be enough food to eat, but now he doesn't have to worry, and in just a quarter of an hour's attack, more than 2,000 people of the Shanxi Army at the forefront were killed or wounded.These robes are starving ghosts until death.Since ancient times, Shanxi has been a battleground for soldiers, and Shanxi people are also people who have been devastated by war, and they have replaced their scarred comrades-in-arms in front.At this time, all the Houjin cavalry, including Yue Tuo, couldn't laugh.More than half of this group of new forces are recurve bow archers, this kind of bow and arrow is often seen in film and television dramas, which is also the most traditional bow and arrow in ancient China, simple, lightweight, easy to use, but the power is not bad.Although it does not have the power of a crossbow, it has a fast rate of fire.As Zhou Chongrui and Yang Henian went up, the Shanxi soldiers under their command were full of hatred and shot arrows at the Houjin cavalry as if they didn't want money.The accuracy of the bow and arrow is not enough, but it can be compensated for by the quantity.In just an instant, the Houjin cavalry was shot on their backs and turned into a mess.Lu Xiangsheng was surprised to find that the Houjin cavalry arrow array had been beaten to pieces, especially the first row of archers, which were almost swept away, the corpses lay on the ground, the wounded rolled on the ground with their wounds, and let out a heart-rending wail, blood gushed out from the hideous wounds, accumulating on the ground one after another......
However, soon they did not have to scream, and the Houjin cavalry stepped on their horses, and the screams of the wounded stopped abruptly.Yue Tuo's face also changed, so many years later, Jin Jian'er fell down in the blink of an eye, they have been practicing martial arts and polishing their strength since they were a few years old, and they began to fight at the age of fourteen or fifteen, how many hardships they have endured, how many vicious battles they have fought before they have developed this skill, and now, they have become a pile of minced meat.Yue Tuo's eyes were blood-red, and he roared loudly: "Step on the master, trample on them!"
Stomp them to death!
”This is an order to attack, and directly charge into battle.That's when it happened."
Boom, boom, boom......"
Three black whirring shells, with a terrible whistling sound, flew towards Yue Tuo's carriage.Yue Tuo turned his head and looked at the shell, he was so frightened that he had lost his reaction.A white-armored soldier didn't care about hurting Yue Tuo, and pulled Yue Tuo off the carriage.At this moment, a cannonball hit the wheel of the carriage, and a piece of wood was knocked away, and coincidentally, this piece of wood, like a cannonball, flew towards Yue Tuo's face.Don't look at the thin pieces of wood, but at this time, like a sharp knife, it slashed at Yue Tuo's face, slashing half of his face away......
