Chapter Thirty-Six: Decisive Battle 7

At this time, the cannons in the Yu family's army formation were still firing, and the shells were still roaring into the battlefield, hitting Jiannu's soldiers heavily, and after seeing these thousands of fresh troops charging in again

On the battlefield, when the Yu Family Army was rushing towards the formation, the Yu Family Army's artillery began to extend again and caught this wave of Jiannu's cavalry.

Cannonballs hit them hard one after another, taking away the lives of one, two, two, three, or even a dozen slave cavalry every moment, tearing them into pieces with both men and horses, or beating them.

Those missing arms and legs fell to the ground, whining or hissing.

And that's not all, the Jiannu cavalry can still hear the sound of volleys of guns from the Yu Jiajun formation. Although the volleys of guns of each battalion do not fire at the same time, and the officers of each battalion direct the firing, this volley of guns

The sound of a salvo is still very different from the sound of sporadic shooting.

Since the sound of the Yu Jiajun's volley fire did not stop, it means that their large formation has not been dispersed. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Yu Jiajun to organize such a volley fire again.

In fact, the speculations of individual Jiannu at this time were not wrong. Although the fierce offensive launched by the Jiannu cavalry put a lot of pressure on the Yu Jiajun's front, the overall Yu Jiajun's front remained intact.

But this does not mean that the Yu Jiajun paid no price at all. At this time, there was still a certain degree of chaos on their front.

There are two groups of slave builders who are unable to break up the Yu Family Army's front line. The leader of the slave chiefs is really helpless. It is obvious that they can't break through the Yu Family Army's front line, so they will all die here today. Those who are behind the Yu Family Army Front Line

The gaps left between them were also seen by some of the slaves, who knew where to attack. It was definitely not a good thing. The Yu Jiajun would definitely not leave so many gaps in their lines for nothing, waiting for them to drill in and attack them.

Their lines were torn to pieces.

Moreover, they also saw that many cavalrymen instinctively got into these gaps, but they could not see any of their cavalrymen withdrawing or fighting out.

The sound of muskets was heard, and countless screams, curses in their language and Mongolian, and dying cries for help were heard.

So some of the follow-up Jiannu realized that those gaps were not a good place. With so many people rushing in, it stands to reason that they should tear apart the Yu Jiajun's front line. However, the front line of the Yu Jiajun's front still seemed to be unmoved.

He continued to fire volleys of guns and continued to harvest their lives.

Those who led the troops to fight, such as Meile Erzhen or Jia La Zhangjing, realized at this time that rushing in like this was definitely not an option. They still could not defeat the Yu family troops in front of them and could not tear apart their front line.

So out of desperation, these people went crazy. Anyway, retreating at this time would mean death, and advancing would mean death. No matter what, they could not survive. If they went back, they would be beheaded by Dorgon for fleeing from battle, and the whole family would be implicated.

Therefore, the only way to fight to the death is to keep the glory after death, and the family will not be implicated.

So they boldly gave the order, blindfolded the horses, and launched a desperate charge. In fact, the war horses were not very courageous. In an era dominated by cold weapon warfare, the war horses had not heard the sound of cannons and muskets, so it was not a big problem.

, but after entering the age of artillery, the noise on the battlefield far exceeded the noise during the pure cold weapon combat period.

The sudden burst of explosions and gunfire made many war horses easily frightened who had never heard the sound of gunfire. Once the war horses were frightened, they would no longer be controlled by the cavalry on their backs, and the cavalry would be useless.

Although Jiannu and the Ming Dynasty have been fighting for so many years over the years, and the Ming army is also equipped with a large number of artillery and muskets, there has never been a Ming army equipped with a higher proportion of firearms than the Yu family army.

I have seen many battles with the Ming Dynasty army, so some of their war horses have become accustomed to the chaotic and crackling explosions on the battlefield.

But the situation is different today. The Yu Jiajun's cannons and muskets are too dense, and the explosions on the battlefield are also too dense. The noise is so loud that many war horses become panicked even if they are not frightened.

It’s usually hard to control a lot.

Some war horses were frightened on the spot because the explosive shells exploded directly near them. They either started to run around on the battlefield and did not obey orders. In serious cases, they simply jumped up, knocking off the unprepared cavalry from their horses and throwing them to the ground.

He was trampled to death by the war horses behind him.

Now that we are getting closer and closer to the front of the Yu family's army, more and more war horses are frightened. The war horses are not blind. They are looking at the bright and sharp spear points in front of them. They are not stupid! They collide with each other like this.

They will definitely be stabbed to death, so they will instinctively disobey the command and run around on both sides. Even if there are not so many spears in front of them, but just some obstacles, the war horses will instinctively not collide with their bodies, so this

That's why the Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry in front of us were looking for a place to hide.

Now those shitheads who established the slaves gave the order, blindfolded the horses, and launched a charge. It was equivalent to giving an order to charge desperately. They no longer cared about what else was ahead and just used their war horses and their guns.

To attack the enemy's lines.

It has to be said that these slave-building cavalry were quite courageous and could indeed be called brave men. They kept fighting for many years and won more than they lost, which allowed them to develop their own honor.

At this time, they went up to the peak and ordered the blindfold, and they knew what they were going to do. Few people disobeyed the order. The Jiannu cavalry who almost got the order, especially the injured Jiannu soldiers, tore them from their bodies without saying a word.

He or she took out a piece of rag from his arms, tied it on the horse's head, and blindfolded the horse's eyes.

Once the war horses were blindfolded, they naturally could not see what was in front of them. They could only rely on the cavalry on their backs to provide them with instructions, and they would run in the direction of the instructions with dark eyes.

So after blindfolding the horses, many Jiannu cavalry launched a desperate charge. No longer caring, they directly controlled the horses and charged directly towards the Yu family's military formation.

Although the Yu Jiajun's spearmen lined up in front of the formation, setting up a forest of spears, the strength of the spears and men was limited after all. A war horse of six to seven hundred kilograms or even seven to eight hundred kilograms plus the weight of the cavalry on its back would not be able to bear the weight of the cavalry on its back.

Coupled with their speed, their strength is definitely not a few hundred kilograms, but a weight of several thousand kilograms.

A mere wooden gun shaft, no matter what kind of wood it is made of, cannot withstand such a huge impact. Although the sharp tips of their spears have indeed successfully penetrated the bodies of enemy horses or cavalry.

, and may even pierce both the man and the horse, but the enemy's cavalry will not stop immediately, and the huge inertia will still make their bodies rush forward for a certain distance before falling.

Therefore, under Jiannu's desperate charge, the frontal defense line of three battalions was suddenly smashed away like a piece of wood.

By this time, the proportion of pikemen in the Yu Jiajun infantry had dropped a lot. The total number of swordsmen and pikemen was only about 30%. They mainly relied on the output of firepower from muskets to attack the enemy, pikemen and swordsmen.

The soldiers have been completely reduced to defensive forces. Only when chasing the enemy can they exert more combat capabilities.

The reduction in the number of pikemen also means that the pike formation organized in front of the formation will definitely be very thin. If the enemy does not dare to fight with all their lives, they will definitely not attack their front line directly. However, if the enemy is determined to die, launch

When charging desperately, it means that such a front is easily broken by the enemy.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Under normal circumstances, the enemy is also a human being, and their instinct will drive them to directly collide with the gunfire without using their bodies. However, there is such a situation on the battlefield. The enemy becomes red-eyed, desperate, and launches crazily.

Death charge tactics, then this means that the pikemen can only withstand a wave of enemy charges before being declared broken by the enemy.

Many pikemen watched the enemy blindfolded and rushed towards them like a desperate man. They fulfilled their obligations faithfully, held on to their spears, and stabbed an enemy or his horse to death, but then the enemy

The huge impact brought by the army's men and horses would knock them away in an instant. Many pikemen had broken bones and tendons, and vomited blood and fell to the ground when they landed.

Some pikemen were even directly pressed to the ground by the enemy's dead horses, and were beaten to death on the spot. As for the sword players who covered them, they basically played no role at this time, and were immediately trampled by the enemy's horses.

Flip to the ground.

Only a few lucky sword players managed to avoid the rushing enemy cavalry in time and slashed at the enemy with their swords. However, as long as the enemy cavalry survived, they would go completely crazy at this time, waving the cavalry in their hands.

With a spear or a broadsword, he tried his best to attack all the Yu family soldiers within range.

The three infantry battalions that were broken through by the enemy immediately fell into chaos. With the infantry square formation tactics of the Yu Jiajun, the strongest defense was knocked away by the enemy, and the Jiannu cavalry or Mongolian cavalry rushing in front,

Almost no one, including men and horses, survived, and they all died in front of the gunfire.

However, they finally achieved their first victory after paying a heavy price. The following cavalry rushed into the Yu Jiajun infantry square, stepping on the dead men and horses in front and the bodies of the Yu Jiajun soldiers who were killed and injured.

among.

Once the cavalry breaks through the infantry line, it will basically be a nightmare for the infantry. The cavalry relies on their huge impact, and it is difficult for the infantry to fight against it, unless a large number of infantry tightly entangle the cavalry and attack them.

When the speed slows down, the cavalry will become the target of massacre again.
