Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chariots, a unique tactical weapon, have also been phased out.

Especially when the Eastern captives possessed the latest firearm of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongyi artillery brought by the rebel general Kong Youde, and the corresponding firearm tactics.Remember Biqu Pavilion on the mobile phone in one second→.B\\.\Provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Dongyao no longer needs chariots to cover the Ming army's firearms in front of the formation, because Dongyao can also use artillery to bombard the Ming army's phalanx.

The Ming army could also use the red barbarian cannon with a longer range and higher precision to attack the Dongcap camp.

So in the 14th year of Chongzhen's Battle of Songjin, the Ming and Qing Dynasties each put out dozens of cannons on Rufeng Mountain and fought a vigorous artillery battle.

On the second day after the war, the Ming army cleaned up the battlefield, picking up more than 400 shells that weighed only seven or eight catties.

Later, as the Ming army became weaker and weaker, Dongyao gradually disdained the use of shield vehicles as defensive equipment.

Daishan still doesn't know that his second son Shuotuo was killed by the Ming army again.

He is riding on a tall horse, and his other two sons, Man Dahai and Hakda, are guarding him.

Daishan slowly drew out the scimitar and ordered:

The shield car goes forward to consume Minggou shells, and the siege ladder advances behind. Once it gets close to the city wall, the siege begins immediately.

"twitter"

The messenger agreed and immediately passed on the siege order.

Received the siege order from Prince Li Daishan, Dongyao's shield chariots began to advance towards the city wall of Liaoyang.

At the same time, Dongyao's siege ladder was also launched. This kind of siege ladder is not a simple cloud ladder.

The siege ladder is by no means the simple wooden and bamboo ladder we often see in film and television works (that's the director's trick)

Using that kind of wooden ladder to attack the city will not only cause a lot of casualties, but it will also be difficult to succeed.

There are also experts in the military camps of the Dongyao. In order to deal with the city walls of the Ming army, they began to think hard, modifying and upgrading the old-fashioned ladder vehicles in the past.

First of all, two sharper big iron hooks were added to the top of the ladder. Once this kind of big iron hook hooked the city wall of the Ming army, the hook tip could be deeply hooked into the cracks in the wall at the top of the city.

Not to mention that the Ming army on the city was difficult to pry, even if the tube ladder was withdrawn after the war, it would take a lot of effort.

Next, guardrails were added on both sides of the ladder, and raw cowhide was covered on the guardrails to prevent the enemy's sharp arrows and artillery.

After this kind of cloud ladder was designed, it was called a tube ladder.

The tube ladder was used in several siege battles against the Ming army by the Dongyao, and it really exerted great power.

The Ming army once used the strategy of attacking with fire to burn down many tube ladders held by the Dong captives.

But it is very time-consuming to burn down the water-splashed tube ladder with fire, at least a quarter of an hour.

And from the tube ladder to the top of the city, to Dongyao stepping on the tube ladder to kill the Ming army's city wall, 1 minute is enough.

The reason why this powerful tube ladder withdrew from the battlefield was not because it was afraid of fire during the siege and was repeatedly burned.

But there is a more important reason, that is, the supply of cowhide is not available.

You must know that to make a tube ladder that can be used by several Dong captives to attack the city, at least hundreds of high-quality cowhide are required.

In order to prevent arrows, stones and imitation fire, the cowhide must be stacked in several layers, based on the loss of [-] barrel ladders based on the capture of a city by the Ming army in Dongyao.

The fall of a city is equivalent to the loss of 3000 cattle. Even if the cattle were captured in the east, they were very precious.

This chapter is a little watery, and I mainly want everyone to understand the situation at that time. The Eastern Capo did not just rely on cavalry to charge.

Chapter 225 Artillery Battle

Qi Jiguang frowned when he saw that Daishan had brought out something he hadn't used for a long time.

Qi Jiguang is very clear about the power of shield vehicles and siege ladders.

"Captain, it seems that you have a headache for those broken cars, so let the general lead the black armored cavalry out of the city to destroy them."

Seeing Qi Jiguang frowning at the shield car, Li Cunxiao said indifferently.

Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at this unparalleled general, and couldn't help smiling slightly:

"General, this is called a shield chariot. Ming cannons and flintlock guns can't penetrate it. If you let the black armored iron ride on it, what will you do if you encounter the firearms behind the shield chariot? Are you sure you will win?"

Hearing what Qi Jiguang said, Li Cunxiao couldn't help frowning, he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that the black armored cavalry would suffer too much loss.

There were only 1 people in total. After several battles, although the losses were not large, hundreds of people died in battle.

The current war is very different from that of his dynasty. There are not only muskets but also artillery.

These firearms can pierce through the iron plate, even if the black armored cavalry is well equipped, they will not be immortal in the face of the artillery attack.

It wasn't that Li Cunxiao was afraid. If there were firearms that were not used, and the black armored cavalry were to attack, once they suffered heavy losses, the emperor would not be able to explain it at all.

Li Cunxiao was at a loss for words for a while, he couldn't answer Qi Jiguang's question.

Seeing that Li Cunxiao was a little embarrassed, Qi Jiguang patted Li Cunxiao on the shoulder and said with a smile:

At any time, iron cavalry is a sharp weapon for attacking cities and villages, the key depends on how to use it.

The artillery battle is over, the black armored cavalry is the harvester of life, and you are still the strongest unit in Ming Dynasty.

What Qi Jiguang said was not wrong, he was not flattering Li Cunxiao, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it needs the cooperation of infantry and cavalry, otherwise it will become a pile of scrap metal.

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he immediately issued an order:

"Huang Ming!"

Huang Ming hastily stepped forward to salute:

"Huang Ming is here, please order from the governor!"

Qi Jiguang pointed to the Dongyaodun driveway under the city:

"See, there are at least a dozen soldiers with bows and arrows behind each vehicle captured in the East.

Dongyao had only one army to attack the city, and immediately pulled red cannons from other city gates, temporarily gave up the flowering ammunition, and replaced them all with solid ammunition. Zhen also killed the bandit soldiers behind him! "

"Yes"

Huang Ming hastily received the order, turned around and arranged for the artillerymen to bring in the red-clothed cannons and replace them with solid ammunition.

The weight of the shells is too light. It is necessary to replace the shells with more than ten kilograms.

The Eastern captives under the city don't care about your red-clothed cannons, they are moving forward quickly.
