Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 588

Cao Bianjiao held up his binoculars and stared ahead, with a hint of excitement on his face.

He hasn't fought a war for a long time, or in other words, he hasn't made meritorious deeds for a long time.

In the past two years, he has felt a lot of pressure.

Because he didn't want people to say that he came to power by virtue of his status as a son-in-law, and he really wanted to prove himself on the battlefield.

This is all right, the opportunity finally came, he must destroy this cavalry!

The thunderous sound of horseshoes could be heard in front of them, and a black line appeared faintly on the grassland.

The enemy has finally been drawn over!
However, the distance is still a bit far away at this moment, and the telescope can only see a black line, which proves that they are more than ten miles away from them.

He thought for a while, and then said loudly: "Heading, twenty infantry on each infantry fighting vehicle, bring all weapons and equipment."

Soon, the doors on both sides of the infantry fighting vehicle opened, and twenty infantry climbed onto the roof with neat equipment.

At this time, the figure of the enemy cavalry gradually became clear in the telescope, and the rhythm of the thunderous hoofbeats did not change at all.

This proves that they are galloping all the way here, and they have no intention of slowing down at all.

People probably don't know that they have terrifying infantry fighting vehicles waiting here.

After all, infantry fighting vehicles have never appeared on the battlefield before, and when they advance forward, they are surrounded by scouts and cavalry, and no one can approach them within a hundred miles. Every time they find a camp, they are surrounded by cavalry first. , the chariot followed.

Under such circumstances, those who saw the chariot were basically surrounded and could not escape at all. Therefore, it was normal for the enemy not to know that they had such a terrifying weapon.

Dorgon was really unlucky, Huang Taiji ordered him to take risks to delay the attack of the Ming army, that's all. Nomenda, the governor here, also provided him with wrong information.

He really thought that each Ming army consisted of several thousand armored cavalry, so he hurriedly led his troops to catch up.

Because he can only have a chance by defeating the scattered Ming army with lightning speed.

If several Ming armies were to join forces, he would have nothing to do.

This is the classic tactic left over from the Saarhu War.

If the Ming army did not divide their forces during the Salhu War, if they did not attack decisively and defeat them one by one, they would have no chance of winning at all.

They won the battle that was basically impossible to win by relying on the trick of breaking each other.

At this moment, he naturally used this move without hesitation, catching the Ming army along the way and rushing over, destroying this way first.

Seeing the dense formation on the opposite side, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

It seems that people really don't know that they have infantry fighting vehicles, otherwise it would be impossible to form such a dense formation and rush over.

very good!

He decisively ordered: "All tanks, the front artillery is leveled, ready to fire ten rounds in a row."

In fact, the artillery these days is the most powerful when the direct fire is balanced. If it is projected, the speed of the shell’s exit will slowly be consumed in the process of rising. When it hits it, it basically depends on its own weight, and there is not much impact .

Of course, the conditions for direct fire are very strict, and the enemy must charge right at your muzzle, neither too high nor too low.

In fact, Cao Bianjiao has already seen that the artillery of the infantry fighting vehicle is just about the same height as the cavalry on the horse.

That is to say, when the shells were shot directly, they hit the cavalrymen on horseback.

He had wanted to try this trick for a long time, and this time, he finally had the chance.

Soon, the enemy's cavalry became extremely clear in the telescope, which proved that they were less than five miles away from them.

He immediately ordered: "The front artillery, fire ten rounds and fire."

"Boom boom boom", there was a loud noise, and a hundred shells immediately swept across the ground at a height of about seven or eight feet.

Dorgon was shocked when he heard the roar of the artillery.

This is obviously not the sound that a tiger crouching cannon can make. This roar is comparable to that of a Hongyi cannon.

Of course he saw a row of black spots in front of him. The Ming army had chariots and tiger squatting cannons. He knew all of this.

The problem is, he didn't know that they had infantry fighting vehicles. From such a long distance, he could only see a row of black spots, and he couldn't see the appearance of the fighting vehicles in front at all.

He thought that the configuration of these Ming troops was similar to that of Qi's army, just ordinary chariots plus tigers and cannons.

He is not afraid of thousands of Qi's troops in this open terrain, because they can swarm up and attack from all directions.

How could he have imagined that they brought Hongyi cannons!

This is troublesome, listening to this roar, they have at least a hundred Hongyi cannons!

He was standing there in a daze, when a row of black dots roared towards him.

How did this cannonball fly close to the ground?

He subconsciously hid himself in the horse's belly and shrank his whole body to the left side of the horse's belly.

This time, he dodged, but there was a scream behind him.

A hundred infantry fighting vehicles are lined up at intervals of two feet, which is more than two miles wide. This row of artillery shells swept across, knocking down thousands of people at once.

Dorgon just glanced back, then gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward.

He didn't issue any orders, because he thought that the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army were similar to theirs. After firing a round of shells, they needed to be reloaded. If there was that time, he would have rushed to the enemy.

I have to say that there is nothing wrong with the saying that knowing yourself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles.

Dorgon made this mistake because he didn't understand the current Ming army's equipment at all.

Soon, there was another terrifying roar of artillery from the opposite side.

This time, without even thinking about it, he shrank under the horse's belly.

Although the cannonball dodged, there was no expression of rejoicing on his face.

How is this going?

How could the Hongyi cannons of the Ming army fire continuously!

This time, their losses were even more severe, because the power of a flat shot depends on the distance, and the closer the distance, the greater the impact.

They charged at other people's artillery in this way, the closer they got, the more serious the casualties would be.

Maybe, when you rush to the front, you can sweep away dozens of them with one shell!

At this time, he no longer dared to punch his head hard.

Rushing over like this is simply courting death!

He ordered without hesitation: "Separate left and right, turn the horse's head, and retreat."

When the flag was swung left and right, the remaining 2 cavalry immediately separated to the two sides like flowing water, turned around in a huge arc, and went around backwards.

"Boom boom boom", there was another violent artillery roar, and more than a thousand riders were swept to the ground again.

so far so good.

This time, Dorgon was a little lucky.

Because they have begun to separate to the left and right, the middle will soon be empty, and the artillery of the Ming army will not be able to sweep them.

When Cao Bianjiao saw this, he couldn't help but sneered, and then waved his hands decisively: "The order is that the infantry chariots are in front, the cavalry is in the center, and the carriages are behind. Chase up."

This order is a bit strange. At the speed of the infantry fighting vehicle, I am afraid that if they run with their feet spread apart without riding a horse, they will not be able to catch up.

Isn't there something wrong with him ordering people to drive infantry chariots to chase the cavalry?
