Acting for the gods

Chapter 144 Ten Thousand Enemies

In Dorgon's view, the [-] Ming army is nothing more than two-legged sheep riding on horses, all relying on the power of bows and crossbows. He doesn't believe that the opponent really has endless crossbows and arrows. If he fights back, he will surely turn defeat into victory!

"Yes!"

"Kill them!"

"These Ming dogs are despicable and shameless, kill them all!"

……

The other bannermen were also very aggrieved and angry, yelling in Jurchen language.

However, the cavalry can't turn around if they want to.

Counterattack also requires conditions.

If the conversion radius is too small, the cavalry who fight back will not be able to speed up at all, and will lose most of their advantage when they charge against the opponent.

That's why Dorgon wanted to take advantage of the cover of the mountain to lead the army back after climbing over the hillside ahead, killing the Ming army by surprise.

At that time, the distance between the two armies will be much shorter. As long as they can rush into the Ming army formation, the opponent's crossbow arrows will not be able to exert their maximum effect.

But when Dorgon led his troops to go up the slope, a large piece of flags of the Ming army appeared on the slope ahead, and artillery was aimed at them.

"Prince Shuorui, the last general, Sun Chuanting, has been waiting for a long time!"

A burly man rode his horse and stood in the forefront, holding a Daguan knife in his hand, and said with a smile on his face.

Dorgon froze for a moment, then realized that he had been ambushed.

When he was plotting against the Ming army, Jiang Fan secretly notified Sun Chuanting to set up an ambush here.

The previous drive was done on purpose by Jiang Fan, in order to chase the Houjin cavalry up to this point and catch them all in one go.

Seeing at least tens of thousands of Ming troops on the hillside, Dorgon's heart sank suddenly: "Damn it! How did the Ming army detect our army's whereabouts in advance?"

But it was too late to regret it at this time, he could only bite the bullet and stepped forward to meet the enemy.

"If you kill it, you will have a chance to survive. All the soldiers follow me!"

Dorgon roared angrily.

Although he doesn't know why the Ming army set up an ambush here, he knows that he must not retreat now, only a deadly battle can save his life!

"kill!"

With a loud cry of killing, more than 2 cavalry charged, wanting to survive the Jedi.

Sun Chuanting would naturally not do what they wanted.

"fire!"

Just heard a shout.

Soldiers around lit the artillery fuses.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Cannonballs flew out of the muzzle and landed on the ground with a huge roar.

When it falls on a person, it will be beaten to pieces, and countless horses will whine.

At the same time, many archers shoot arrows with their bows, because they are condescending, and the shooting force is relatively greater, and they can shoot farther.

In addition, there are spearmen with three-eyed guns shooting.

Seeing Dorgon's cavalry rush to the mountainside, Sun Chuanting ordered people to push the big grass ball up, lit the fire, and pushed it down the hillside.

Under the action of inertia, dozens of large fireballs over two meters high quickly rolled down, knocking people on their backs, and many people were burned and screamed horribly.

Not only that, in some grass balls, Sun Chuanting also made people hide "enemies of ten thousand people".
Thousands of Enemies is a large explosive incendiary weapon. Its outer skin is made of clay and weighs 40 kilograms. It was produced in the late Ming Dynasty and is usually used to defend the city. wide.

When most of the surface of the grass ball is burned, the ten thousand enemies inside are ignited, and the bomb explodes directly inside the cavalry.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

After several loud noises, seven or eight large pits appeared on the mountainside, and each pit was filled with corpses, limbs and minced meat.

Many people were knocked off their horses, and the horses ran wild in fright, trampling many people to death.

"This...what is this?"

"How can it be so powerful!"

"That's terrible gunpowder."

"Run!"

Dorgon was knocked off his horse by the shock wave of the explosion, deaf in both ears, dizzy and dazed, almost trampled to death by the horse.

Fortunately, there were still a few soldiers around him who desperately rescued him, so he saved his life, but Dorgon was powerless after the battle.

He just watched his subordinates fall one by one, leaving behind a pile of dead bodies.

"How could this be? It shouldn't be!!"

Dorgon looked around blankly, feeling sad in his heart.

"No, the Ming army is here!"

"It's over, it's over!"

Just when Dorgon and others were blown dizzy, Jiang Fan led his men to charge from behind and attacked the two-banner cavalry who were in a dilemma on the mountainside.

"kill--"

With a loud roar, dense crossbow arrows flew out, heading straight for the bannerman who was fleeing in a hurry on the mountainside.

The Shenji Battalion took out cluster rockets and Shenhuo Flying Crows, and aimed them at crowded places.

For a time, raging fires ignited everywhere up and down the mountain.

Dorgon was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, but at this time they were flanked by Jiang Fan and Sun Chuanting, and there was no way to retreat.

More than 2 cavalry, after indiscriminate bombing and covering fire from the Zhuge God Crossbow, there are less than 3000 left at this time.

These remaining cavalry can indeed be called elite.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, they jumped off their horses one by one and formed a circle, protecting Dorgon in the center, in a defensive posture.

Their faces were solemn and solemn, and they were ready to deal with the impact of the Ming cavalry, thinking that at least one or two people would be behind them before they died.

But they were obviously wrong.

Jiang Fan had planned a strategy from the very beginning, and he didn't intend to end the close combat with them at all.

If you are poor, you will have tactics interspersed, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

Who is playing hand to hand with you.

Jiang Fan waved his hand and shouted at Lu Wenzhao: "Lu Qianhu, annihilate them!"

"Yes!"

Lu Wenzhao will not have the slightest sympathy for the people of the late Jin Dynasty, because he knows how cruel and cunning these people are.

"Crossbow arrows, cross-shooting!"

Lu Wenzhao gave a loud shout, and a thousand Jinyi guards rode their horses to the two sides, stopped 300 meters away from the golden cavalry, and raised the Godly Zhuge crossbow in their hands.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A crossbow arrow was shot at these bannermen who surrounded themselves in a circle to die!
"You cowards!"

"Despicable Mingren, you have the guts to fight! What kind of hero is shooting arrows?"

"You cowards, you only know how to use bows and crossbows, if you are a man, let your horse come over..."

Some bannermen who could speak Chinese cursed loudly, trying to provoke the Ming army into close combat.

But the Ming army didn't like them at all.

These bannermen used to take advantage of being good at riding and shooting, plundered the border, and dragged the Ming army to fight.

Now it is just treating the person in the same way as the person.

Now that his side has the advantage, he only goes to play melee with them when he has a hole in his head.

Accompanied by a round of arrow rain, those who scolded all had crossbow arrows in their mouths, and closed their stinking mouths forever.

Some bannermen, who were out of breath, ran towards Lu Wenzhao and the others, but they were shot to death on the way before they ran far.

In the end, Dorgon was also shot into a hornet's nest by random arrows with great resentment.
