The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 216 It's Difficult to Speak

The spear and shield soldiers raised their shields one after another.

They each carried two shields, one for the musketeer, and they held up one.

Gunners also have shields.

After they finished a round, they all squatted down to load ammunition.

When he heard the shield being raised, the gunmen in the first row raised the shield first and turned the shield horizontally, and the gunmen in the second row stood next to him and continued to reload.

The 1.2-meter-high shield just blocked the two of them.

After loading, change hands, the second row raises the shield, and the first row continues to reload.

After more than a year of training, they are proficient and orderly. Even if they panic, there will be people around them reminding them: "Don't panic, the Tartars haven't arrived yet, there are spear and shield soldiers ahead."

When everyone heard that there were spear and shield soldiers in front of them, they naturally felt more at ease.

Dang dang dang, the front of the Ming army was covered with feathered arrows, and everyone's shields were full of arrows.

The Mongols shot wildly, completely venting the heavy setback they had just suffered.

A round of arrow feathers shot at the Ming army, except for a few who were shot, almost all the Ming army remained motionless.

Azig and the others couldn't see it from a distance, and the Mongolian army in front quickly discovered that archery didn't seem to be very useful.

After the Ming army raised its shield, it looked like a tortoise shell.

All the arrows were shot on the shield, unless someone was very unlucky, or he didn't hold the shield well, he would be shot.

Whenever the Ming army was shot, there was a strange cry from the Mongolian army, cheering for themselves.

"Rush forward, rush forward." Wu Tu shouted.

The Mongolian soldiers rushed forward while shooting arrows continuously.

In the blink of an eye, it entered fifty steps.

At this time, from Wutu's line of sight, there is no hole in the front about thirty paces.

He was overjoyed, brandished his knife and shouted: "Rush up and kill Minggou."

The Ming army's formation was like a tortoise shell. He knew that using arrows was meaningless right now, so he could only rush forward and tear open the hole with hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, they shot more than a dozen arrows all the way from 80 meters to fifty paces, and they already needed a rest.

"Come on."

"Kill the dog."

Some Mongolian soldiers shot the last arrow one after another, and then threw away the bow directly.

Abandoned the best weapon of their ancestors and the most powerful weapon in the world at that time.

They drew their swords and rushed forward without hesitation, as straightforward as taking refuge in Houjin.

At this moment, amidst the clattering of iron armor, the Ming army's blunderbuss stood up one after another and raised their blunderbusses.

Not far from the front is densely packed Mongolian soldiers, many of them don't even need to deliberately aim, as long as they are flat and don't hit high places, they can hit one with their eyes closed.

"Hiss..." Wutu gasped. Didn't expect the Ming army to reload so quickly?

Bang bang bang, the Ming army fought in the second round.

There were countless screams at the scene like hell.

The bullets tore through their cotton armor, penetrated their bodies, and destroyed their vitality.

Blood splattered all around, and the crowd fell down in pieces like wheat blown by a strong wind, and then howled and died.

Some clever Mongolian soldiers also followed the Ming army's gun and shield soldiers to squat down, but squatting was useless, and the Ming army would still find them.

Wu Tu hid behind his subordinates, barely dodging these six rounds of gunshots.

When he stood up tremblingly, he saw that there were less than two thousand Mongolian soldiers on the scene.

Three thousand Mongolian elite troops came up, and the Ming army had lost a third of them without touching a hair.

If they didn't know that there were Houjin soldiers behind them, they would have almost collapsed.

But fortunately, it is less than twenty steps away from the Ming army formation.

"Kill, we must kill all of this Ming army." Wu Tu was completely insane, he swung his long knife and shouted frantically.

The Mongolian army, which had been beaten and collapsed, also knew that there were only twenty steps in front of them, and this Ming army was useless again.

"kill"

The Mongolian soldiers rushed forward frantically.

The Ming army is right in front of us, and victory is within reach.

No matter how low the Ming army is, it will be our Dajin who will surely win.

"Tiger" the Ming army shouted again, and the six rows of spear and shield soldiers in front stood up at the same time.

They raised their spears, crossed the shield, and smashed it down heavily. The arrows on the shield broke one after another.

The two sides are so close that everyone can see each other's face.

The Mongols were frightened, angry, and panicked.

Mingren was calm and calm, looking at them like dead people.

Wu suddenly swears that he has never seen such a calm soldier on the battlefield.

With the shouts of the Mongols, the two sides are getting closer.

fifteen steps

Twelve steps.

Ten steps.

eight steps.

The formation of the Ming army remained motionless.

The two armies joined forces in an instant.

There is a strong murderous intent in the air.

"Kill Minggou." Wu Tu finally shouted.

The Mongolian soldiers rushed towards the Ming army formation like a tide.

seven steps.

six steps.

The Ming army retreated suddenly, and Qi Qi took two steps back.

Wutu was overjoyed.

but.

Sudden.

Crashing, the soldiers and horses in front suddenly fell down.

"Ah!" The screams rang out again, followed by boundless curses.

Wu Tu's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted from anger.

He didn't believe it when Zaba told him that Ding Yi was only digging holes.

Who has fought wars since ancient times, who can win by digging holes?

Has no famous general in history done this before?

It would be better if they won the battle and buried them.

I didn't expect to let him see it today. Ding Yi, this bastard, is really the worst general in the Ming Dynasty. He can only dig holes and has no martial ethics.

The pit in front is wide and deep.

About four meters wide and four meters deep.

Drawing on the experience of Xu Dabao, someone suggested after the war that a pit with a width of [-] meters could be jumped over by a Houjin soldier.

Ding Yi didn't believe it at the time, but after seeing Mingjun jumping over with his own eyes, he decided to expand the pit to four meters.

Do you have a kind of eagerness to look again?

The Mongolian soldiers fell like dumplings.

This time Ding Yi had plenty of time, and the design below was more qualified, and the steel barbs were densely packed, neat and orderly.

The Mongolian soldiers who fell were instantly tied into hedgehogs.

The scene was as flustered as Xu Dabao's. The Mongolian soldiers behind wanted to rush, and they wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the Ming army, and they didn't want to be beaten again by the gunmen.

The one in front wants to stop.

But the back pushed the front, and people fell from time to time.

"Stop pushing, there's a pit." The person in front shouted, but before the person finished shouting, he was pushed heavily behind him.

"Ah" plop, also fell in.

On the right side of the Ming army formation is the river.

The Mongolian soldier on the far right saw that he was about to be pushed into the pit, so he jumped into the river next to him in fright.

So many Mongolian soldiers in front followed him and jumped into the river with a splash.

Ding Yi looked at Da Le, and said at this time: "Split people to the river to shoot them, and the archers can shoot the Mongolian soldiers behind."

Xiang Huailai couldn't wait, so he hurriedly set up his bow and arrow.

Whoosh, the Ming army also began to shoot arrows, throwing arrows at the rear of the Mongolian and Han armies.

The scene became more and more chaotic. Those in front didn't want to fill in the hole, and those behind were shot by arrows.

The Mongolian army was shot, or pushed into the pit, or waited for the next round of gunshots in horror. No matter how smart the famous general was, he didn't know what to do at this time.

Azig at the back almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he saw a large group of soldiers and horses fall into the deep pit.

Although he had heard Zaba say many times how dirty Ding Yi was in the war, he was always dubious. Today's pitfalls of horses and people made him deeply understand Ding Yi's virtue.

When he saw the large wave of Mongolian soldiers and horses falling down, he already wanted to call for money to withdraw the troops, and then attack again in another place.

Obviously, you can't fight against Ding Yi on the battlefield chosen by Ding Yi in the future.

But thinking about the decision to withdraw troops when he scolded Li Sutai just now, it was really hard to speak up.
