Chapter 269 Bloody Battle of Hunhe

A stone's throw is 130 steps, which is about 202 meters when converted into the unit of later generations.

This distance can be regarded as the maximum range of ordinary bows and arrows.Of course, if it is those who can open a hard bow, it can also be regarded as an effective range.

At this distance, relatively speaking, Che Mu's target is large and the moving speed is slow, so the possibility of dodging left and right is even smaller.Therefore, the hit rate of the artillery will be greatly improved.

For this, Jianlu is obviously experienced.

Therefore, at this time, those Jianlu abandoned the cover of the car and began to charge towards the Ming army camp.

Some were holding shields, and some felt like they didn't even hold shields, and just ran away screaming.

Behind them, there are Jianlu and Mongolian archers. Even those in the back flocked to the front, not asking for accuracy, but shooting arrows quickly, using the advantage of the arrow rain to cover the Ming army. Suppress the long-range weapons of the Ming army, thus providing cover for the Jianlu who are charging.

"Kill..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Among the shouts of killing, more cannons were suddenly added to the apparently spaced cannons.

More gunpowder smoke rose into the sky on the line of the Ming army's van, and was blown back by the north wind.

This is a small and medium-caliber artillery of the Ming army, which joined the bombardment.

Jianlu, who was charging, was like harvested wheat, and fell down a large piece in response to the sound.

No amount of armor can defend against the bombardment of artillery.

Seeing this scene, Abate's face turned ashen, but he still had expectations for it.Every time they fought against the Ming army, the most casualties were during the charge, when they would be bombarded by the Ming army.

But when the rain of arrows behind covers it, it will get better.

Almost as he was thinking about it, the arrow rain from the Jianlu archers had already started flying towards the Ming army's position.

One of the advantages of bows and arrows is that the rate of fire is much higher than that of muskets.Especially skilled archers, such as Mongolian Tatars, can shoot a pot of arrows in one breath, absolutely no problem.

The rain of arrows that seemed to block the sun fell towards the Ming army's position.

Jianlu, who was charging, suddenly felt as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and continued to attack the Ming army's position again with howls.

On the side of the Ming army, the fusilier soldiers lined up behind the van, the veterans were better, and the recruits saw the rain of arrows coming, and they felt desperate, not to mention there was an order, even if there was no order, such dense arrows If you shoot it, you can't hide it.

"Bow your head!" At this time, the officer of the Ariake Army shouted loudly.

Hearing the order, the soldiers of the Ming army lowered their heads subconsciously.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Puff puff……"

The voice rang continuously.

There is the sound of bows and arrows hitting armor, there are also sounds of bows and arrows hitting dirt, and there are sounds from vans.

"Hey, I don't seem to be injured!" After being stunned for a while, many soldiers of the Ming army suddenly became ecstatic. This armor is really useful!

Of course, some unlucky soldiers of the Ming army were injured in the continuous rain of arrows, but most of the injuries were not in vital parts.

"Boom boom boom..."

Even under the rain of arrows, the artillery from the Ming camp still rang out.

These cannons that can ring are all Franco cannons.Because this is a molecular mother gun, a mother gun is equipped with about five or six sub-guns, and the sub-guns are loaded with ammunition in advance.After firing once, it is only necessary to take out the fired sub-gun from the mother gun and fill it with another loaded sub-gun.It is a bit similar to the artillery of later generations, except that it is not loaded with shells, but sub-guns.

Of course, this Franco cannon also has a shortcoming, that is, the sub-gun and the mother gun cannot be as flawed in air tightness as other artillery.If the quality is poor, the gunpowder will be ejected from these gaps, thereby injuring the soldiers of the Ming army who fired the gun; if the quality is good, it will not, but the range will still be affected, and it will not be far.

However, it is possible to deal with the Jianlu infantry and even the cavalry who are charging. At close range, they will hit a large area with shotguns such as gravel.

Immediately, Jianlu, who was charging, fell down again.

I have to say that Jianlu at this time was indeed very powerful.

Even though the Jianlu who charged in front was knocked down by the bombardment, the Jianlu behind didn't seem to see it, and still charged there screaming.

Because they all know that as long as they cross this death zone, victory is just around the corner.

"Kill..."

At this time, the rate of fire of the artillery was indeed too low. It was impossible to fire a few shots at all under the full speed of the arrow.

Seeing Jianlu rushing closer and closer, the Ming army finally ordered that the fusiliers stepped forward, lay down on the van, and started shooting at Jianlu who was charging.

"Blah blah blah..."

The sound on the battlefield was immediately covered by gunshots, and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky. Thanks to the howling north wind, it was immediately blown to the back of the army formation.Otherwise, the dense gunpowder smoke will definitely seriously affect the sight.

Jianlu, who was charging, was suddenly shot by dense and continuous flintlock guns, and immediately fell down in pieces.

Seeing this scene, Abate was a little dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Why is the musket sound of the Ming army still so dense?

Under the rain of arrows, logically speaking, it would definitely kill and injure the Ming army in large numbers. How could there be such dense gunshots?

The gunpowder smoke was blown south by the north wind, which just covered the situation in the Ming army's formation, and it was impossible to see how much damage the bows and arrows had caused!

If the bombardment of the artillery sounds scary, but the casualties caused each time are limited and bearable, under the intensive gunfire, the casualties are far beyond the artillery casualties.

Not only Abatai understood this point, but also all the veterans in Jianlu.What they are most afraid of is actually this kind of volley!

The Jianlu who charged in front fell several batches in a row, and the Jianlu who were behind finally showed fear.

Abatai looked at this scene, as if he saw the bloody battle in Hunhe, when the Dajin army charged the defense lines of the Qi family army.

That time, he also couldn't charge in, and lost a lot of troops, so that the Dajin army was afraid of charging. Huang Ama beheaded several generals in a row to deter the deserters.

Thinking of this, Abatai immediately issued orders to adjust the deployment.In short, you can't retreat at this time. Once you retreat, your momentum will be gone, and it will be difficult to fight the next battle.

Following his order, the Mongolian cavalry were driven up and charged towards the Ming defense line.In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the Mongolian Eight Banners are also sandwiched inside.

The chariot also began to advance, because the chariot can effectively resist the shooting of muskets.

In addition, Kong Youde also received a military order, no matter what method he uses, he must bombard the Kaiming army's defense line.

"Kill..."

"Boom boom boom..."

"Blah blah blah..."

All kinds of sounds mixed into one piece, resounding through the sky, overshadowing the sound of the howling north wind.

There were already a lot of corpses piled up in front of the Ming army's formation, which even affected the subsequent charge of Jianlu.But in this way, it also reduced the damage of some muskets.

At this time, whether it is the Jianlu or the Mongol Tartars, they are not at all as relaxed as they were at the beginning.Especially those whose turn to charge, their faces looked like dead parents!
But at this time, they still had hope for victory in their hearts.

The Ming army is not good at close combat, as long as they rush in, they can win!

Under the crowd tactics of Jianlu and Mongol Tartars, supported by the belief that they could win by rushing into the Ming army, finally, some cavalry rushed to the front of the van, but they were quickly shot to death with their horses.

But at the same time, it also blocked the lead bullets for the Jianlu infantry behind.

Slowly, under the pile of corpses, Jianlu's soldiers finally approached the Ming army's line.

Seeing this scene, Abatai was relieved, but his expression was still very ugly.

Because the price of rushing to the front of the Ming army was far more than he estimated.

Going back after this battle, it is estimated that many people will die in each banner. In Shengjing City, most of them will wear sackcloth and filial piety!

I don't know if Huang Taiji will cause trouble for himself because of this again?

Thinking this way in his heart, Abate made up his mind again, this time, he would never leave the customs until he got enough supplies and people!

"Kill..."

"Blah blah blah..."

At this time, the sound of cannons basically disappeared, but the sound of muskets was still ringing continuously.

On many defense lines of the Ming army, the Jianlu and Mongol Tartars had already attacked the vans, and many of them were already fighting for the vans.

Stepping on the corpses of their accomplices one by one, they climbed into the van and tried to enter the Ming army formation.

However, most of the Jianlu were hit head-on by lead bullets as soon as they climbed into the van.

Even so, the follow-up Jianlu continued to climb the vans and attack the Ming army.

Observing this scene vaguely from behind, Abate heaved a sigh of relief again: Victory is in sight!

Jianlu's morale, which had been beaten down before, also began to recover at this time.Because they had the same cognition as Abatai, if they rushed into the formation of the Ming army, the Ming army should collapse!
It seems that whatever they think, they come!

I saw that the sections of the Ming army's defense line that were attacked most fiercely by Jianlu seemed to have no resistance at once, and Jianlu, who was crawling, rushed past the van like water leaking.

Ha, the Ming army is defeated!

Seeing this scene, Abate couldn't help laughing.

This battle was really not easy, but fortunately, we won!

The Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars behind them naturally also saw a steady stream of accomplices who overturned the defense line of the van.It is certain that there is no Ming army resisting the van, otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to attack so smoothly!
In other words, the Ming army over there collapsed and was finally about to win!
Thinking of this, the Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars in the back, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, no longer flinched, and rushed over at a faster pace.

This is all about winning, and the rest is to grab the credit, whoever is not in a hurry is a fool!
However, what they, including Abate, never expected, happened!
