Chapter 983 Taiping
Outside the city of Warsaw, the artillery was roaring, the shells were roaring, and the earth and rocks that were blown up were flying everywhere.Of course, there are also broken arms and limbs.

On such a battlefield, the cavalry armies of European countries are really fighting to the death.Although some cavalrymen were constantly overturned by bombs with both men and horses, the remaining cavalrymen still drove their horses forward without hesitation.If you don't have a strong will and experience in the field, you will never be able to do it.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help admiring: "It's a little unexpected. I thought that heavy machine guns would not be used anymore! These European cavalry troops are really elite. Have the courage to charge, yes, yes!"

The more elite the enemy is, the less pressure they will face if they are eliminated in this battle.Therefore, whether Emperor Chongzhen sincerely admired and appreciated each other, or based on his own interests, he hoped that the enemies he faced this time would be as elite as possible.

However, even the new artillery is not the terminator of the cavalry.For the cavalry moving at high speed, the damage caused by the explosion of the bomb is actually limited, especially the ones that spread out and charge.

Lu Xiangsheng, who has rich combat experience, immediately noticed this, and immediately reminded Emperor Chongzhen with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the enemy's cavalry has a very tenacious will to fight and is large in number. , It’s time to mobilize the cavalry to support the guards.”

Generally speaking, the car camp is actually enough as an obstacle to block the cavalry charge.The enemy's cavalry could not get past the carriage camp, so they had to rush to the edge of the carriage camp, dismount, cross the carriage camp, and attack.

However, even if the enemy has a lot of troops, such an attack will cause heavy losses.If Lu Xiangsheng had commanded by himself, he would not have dispatched the cavalry to support him, but would have stayed behind to give the enemy a fatal blow.

But in the car camp today, there is still Emperor Ming.This is a body of gold, and it is not easy to take risks anyway.It was for this reason that he had the suggestion to adjust the cavalry.

"It's okay, Lu Qing will take a look at it later, what is the cavalry terminator like!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a slight smile after hearing this.

Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou who were standing next to them had seen this before, and they immediately agreed cheerfully, telling Lu Xiangsheng not to worry.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at the soldiers of the Ming army who were already waiting in full battle on the carriage. The two were waiting for a musket. He thought in his heart: Is this musket called a heavy machine gun really that powerful?
In fact, what Emperor Chongzhen said was wrong.The real terminator of cavalry is not heavy machine guns, but tanks!

Originally in history, during the First World War, there were examples of successful Australian cavalry charges.At that time, the Turkish side also had cannons and heavy machine guns, but they were unable to withstand the high-speed charge of the cavalry, and there were no obstacles to slow down such as barbed wire in front of the formation, so they were defeated by the cavalry.To this end, the Australians also made a film commemorative.

At this time, the focus on the battlefield quickly focused on the charge of cavalry troops from various European countries.There is no other reason, it is too eye-catching.

It has to be said that the advantages of European countries in military strength can offset many unfavorable factors to a certain extent.

For example, although they were bombarded by artillery before, although there were many casualties, compared to their total strength, they were still relatively few; for example, the current superiority in strength can give them a hope, that is, to use their cavalry sea, It can overwhelm the terrible artillery positions of the Ming army.

At this time, the cavalry troops of various European countries were getting closer and closer to the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty.The elevation angle of the artillery is no longer able to bombard the cavalry in front.This discovery made the cavalry troops of European countries rush forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the earth trembled.

The charging momentum of thousands of troops and horses gathered together made the troops of the Ming Dynasty vassal country secretly frightened.At this time, they finally woke up. Before, they had always underestimated the military strength of European countries.At least the cavalry's bravery now was beyond their expectation.

Among them, the Polish hussars, as the masters, even if they were not driven by their king, for their glory and for the glory of the past, they rushed to the forefront.

Closer, closer, closer!Seeing that there are more than one mile to go, they will be able to rush to the main formation of the Ming army.

However, it was quiet on the Ming army's position. Except for the continued roar of artillery, there was no other movement.

This abnormal situation made the experienced hussars immediately feel that something was wrong.However, at this time, they were on the verge of breaking out, and they couldn't stop at all.Therefore, we can only hope that the Ming army will be frightened by its own charge.

Even the Polish King William II, who was cowering in the corner because of the power of the Great Ming’s artillery fire, stood up on the top of Warsaw City in the distance. Seeing that the cavalry was about to charge, he couldn’t help but clenched his fists and began to cheer: "Rush in, kill, kill me..."

However, at this moment, flames suddenly spewed out from the chariot camp of the Ming army.The most important thing is that this is not one tongue of fire, but two, three... countless tongues of fire...

Those hussars who were rushing happily, as if they had hit an invisible iron plate, immediately turned on their backs and fell to the ground.In just a short while, countless cavalry and war horses fell in front of the Ming army's position.

These became obstacles again, so that the following cavalry had to slow down a little.But in this way, more European cavalry fell.

Since the subsequent cavalry charge has already begun, it cannot be stopped.As a result, more cavalry fell to the ground.

As far as the two miles in front of the Ming army's position, it has become a Shura hell for the cavalry.There are wounded soldiers and horses lying on the ground and howling.Just looking at this posture, no matter how many cavalrymen rush over, they will only end up being beaten to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiangsheng was stunned.This has not yet reached the front of our own car camp.If the horses had to slow down before reaching the camp, the enemy would only suffer more casualties.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at a musket operated by two Ming soldiers on the frame, as if the emperor called him a heavy machine gun.Continuous shooting, the range is so far, this is the big killer for harvesting human lives!
For some reason, Lu Xiangsheng looked at those heavy machine guns that were spraying flames, and the Jiajiazhuang defense battle that year suddenly flashed in his mind.At that time, if the imperial court had this kind of weapon, no matter how many Jian captives came, they would not be afraid.That battle didn't have to be so hard!That time, I almost died in battle!
Of course he didn't know, if Emperor Chongzhen hadn't traveled through and flapped the wings of the butterfly, he would have died in battle there.

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, not to mention the soldiers of Tsarist Russia, Ottoman and other Ming vassal states.The originally powerful cannon had already stunned them.Now that I see how powerful the Ming army's muskets are, I am really dumbfounded!
Recalling that they had been enemies of the Ming Dynasty before, chills ran down their spines; but when they came back to their senses and were extremely sure that they were on the side of the Ming army, they were overwhelmed with joy.

They were extremely convinced that from now on, if they held Daming's thighs, they would definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food, trampling all those Europeans under their feet!
As for the European army, the charging cavalry finally slowed down. Even if they were brave, in the face of such a situation, only the stupid ones would continue to seek death.

With the bombardment of cannons in the back and the powerful musket fire of the Ming army in front, there was no way for them to survive, or even a glimmer of hope for victory.

Under such circumstances, no matter how brave the cavalry troops of European countries were, they finally collapsed completely after being taught by the artillery and machine guns of the Ming army.

Regardless of whether their famous generals died or not, under great fear, the cavalry began to flee in all directions.

They didn't care whether they were their own infantry soldiers in front of them, just to escape from this murderous battlefield quickly, even if they ran into them, they would not hesitate.

The new weapons of the Ming army had unprecedented power. By this time, they had completely defeated the resistance will of the armies of various European countries.

Seeing that the entire battlefield was completely chaotic and the enemy was completely dispersed, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to Lu Xiangsheng: "Pass down the order, let the cavalry troops of the vassal states on the left and right flanks pursue it!"

As soon as the signal here was sent out, needless to say, whether it was Alexei or Ahmed, they couldn't wait to urge their men to start chasing and killing the enemy's rout.

The only thing they were worried about was whether the powerful artillery of the Ming army would fall on their heads if they chased them too quickly.

However, they obviously worried too much. The Daming artillery began to extend, and finally stopped and stopped firing.

In fact, the artillery needed to cool down, and most of the ammunition was consumed, so it was impossible to fire continuously.

On the side of the Ming army headquarters, neither the cavalry nor the infantry moved.Almost everyone was looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in front of them.They all know that this battle will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history books.

"Your Majesty, is this new gunpowder called Taiping gunpowder?" After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly came back to his senses, turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and confirmed.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked away from the battlefield, nodded and said, "Yes, from now on, Ming Dynasty will be at peace!"

For this era, the existence of this kind of gunpowder is equivalent to the nuclear weapons of later generations, which can deter any hostile country.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng nodded heavily, understanding the meaning of these words.

At this time, Hong Chengchou suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Your Majesty, look over there!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look, and when he saw it clearly, there was only a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, after all, this was what was expected.
