Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 153 Bombarding Zhenglan Banner

Hauge, Prince of Susu in the East, led seven thousand Zhenglan flags, and came to the city of Liaoyang aggressively.

I saw that the Ming army had been waiting in full force for a long time, and two phalanxes stood in front of them.

Hauge was very familiar with the phalanx in front of him. It was the Ming army's chariot battalion and firearms battalion.

In the past, I often fought with the Daming Cheying Firearms Battalion. At that time, the Ming army's combat effectiveness was poor except for the Qi's army.

Don't look at them holding Vulcan guns one by one, they seem to be majestic and high-spirited.

In fact, as long as the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives rush forward, the Ming army only has one round of firearms in their hands.

Both the vehicle battalion and the firearms battalion will disintegrate in a short time, and they will start to collapse before they can reload their ammunition again.

Hauge swung the sword in the air, and the entire Zhenglan Banner stopped advancing immediately.

Don't think that the Eastern captive cavalry rushed when they saw the Ming army. They all understood that firearms are still firearms no matter how bad they are.

They usually shoot a round first, suppress the firepower of the Ming army with bows and arrows, and then start to charge.

It stands to reason that suppressing firearms with bows and arrows is a joke.

But in the face of the poor combat effectiveness of the Ming army, they can often turn this into reality.

"Zhenglan flag, strong bow ready"

"twitter"

The cavalrymen of Dongyao got off their horses one after another, took off their strong bows, and prepared to shoot.

Dongyao's very famous horse-riding archery is not horse-riding archery. Under normal circumstances, they ride horses to charge and dismount to shoot arrows.

Because they are a fishing and hunting nation, the quality and production materials of bows and arrows are better, and the limited range is farther than that of the Ming army.

Dongyao Qiang Bow can shoot 200 meters, of course, the real limited range is about 120 steps.

The ability to draw a bow and shoot arrows solely by human power is far stronger than that of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Although their limited range is only 120 meters, this is a battlefield, and a salvo of thousands of people is almost a thousand arrows.

It's completely a cover strike, so the accuracy doesn't need to be too high.

Qi Jiguang watched the Dongyao cavalry's operations coldly.

He knew that the current limited range of flintlock guns was about the same as that of Dongyao bows and arrows.

However, the firing range of the tiger squatting cannon is much greater than that of the Dongyao cavalry.

Qi Jiguang waved the command flag:
"The wings of the firearms battalion are spread out, the tiger squats the cannon, loads the bombs, and prepares for shelling!"

The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion in the front quickly spread out to the two wings, revealing the black muzzles of two hundred guns in the middle.

"fire"

"Rumble..."

The cavalrymen of Dongyao had just put their arrows on the bowstring, but they hadn't had time to draw the bowstring.

Suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise, and a hundred tiger squatting guns sprayed out huge fire snakes.

The explosive bullets hit the Dongyao cavalry like a huge hailstone.

"Rumble..."

A hundred explosive bombs exploded above Zhenglan Qi's head in an instant, and thousands of iron balls and gravel shot at the Dongyao cavalry at high speed.

No matter how brutal the Dongyao cavalry were, they were human beings, and the Dongyao cavalry in front fell down instantly.

The Dongyao cavalry behind suddenly panicked and shot arrows out of their hands one after another.

These arrows were shot in their panic, and the distance was far away, although a small number of Ming army artillerymen were hit by arrows.

But these arrows are limited in strength, and they don't wear opaque army armor at all.

"Rumble..."

Another hundred tigers crouched and started bombarding again.

In this way, two hundred tiger squatting cannons attacked in turn, and only the Dongcap cavalrymen who were blown up were turned on their backs.

"Stay steady, don't panic, the cavalry will attack immediately as soon as their cannons stop."

When Hauge saw it, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted to his subordinates not to panic.

At the same time, there are also some cavalrymen who are not afraid of death, still sticking to archery.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

But in the intensive shelling, bows and arrows have no effect at all.

Many arrows happened to encounter shells in the air, and they were all shot down by shells.

Hauge is also a famous general who has experienced many battles in the East, and he feels something wrong when he sees it.

Today's Ming army is far superior to any opponent he has encountered before in terms of combat effectiveness and combat literacy.

Even though the gunners were hit by arrows, they still insisted on firing, and there was no sign of panic at all.

When fighting with the Ming army before, if this happened, the Ming army would have been in a panic.

You can't be forced to use bows and arrows and Ming army artillery to attack in this way, otherwise the loss will be great.

"Soto, you should immediately lead four soldiers to attack from the two wings."

"twitter"

He immediately called two Jiala Ezhen, and let them attack the Ming army from both wings.

One Niulu has 300 people, and eight Niulu has 2400 talents. Dividing the troops into two groups should disrupt the deployment of the Ming army.

The two Jiala Ezhen agreed, and led 1200 Zhenglan Banner cavalry, quickly dispersed and rushed towards the two wings of the Ming army.

Qi Jiguang did not arrange artillery on the two wings, but there were flintlock guns and chariot battalions.

Seeing the cavalry of the Eastern Captives attacking the two wings of the Ming army, he smiled coldly and turned to Li Cunxiao and said:

"General Li, you see that the Eastern captives are going to attack the two wings of our army, so you order the black armored cavalry to prepare for battle.

Immediately after the flintlocks had inflicted damage on them, attack from both wings, trying to wipe out all the two thousand cavalry. "

"Yes, governor, don't worry, you can't run away from them."

Seeing the heavy artillery bombardment and the heavy casualties of the Dongyao cavalry, Li Cunxiao wanted to attack a long time ago.

With the combat power of him and Xuanjia cavalry, no matter who he faces, he can quickly eliminate them.

But after the end of Ming Dynasty, Li Cunxiao sadly discovered the firearm.

Every battle is bombarded by artillery fire, and then the cavalry is dispatched, which always makes him feel that he can't use his strength.

As soon as Li Cunxiao gave an order, four thousand black armored cavalry were on standby, ready to attack the cavalry of Dongyao at any time.

Hauge's intention was to tear apart the two wings of the Ming army first, and when the middle road was empty, he personally led the remaining cavalry to attack the Ming army's middle road command center.

But how did he know that as soon as his side moved, Qi Jiguang found a way to deal with it.

"Come on"

"kill"

"Kill the Guangming dog, regain Liaoyang..."

The four thousand captive cavalry from the east divided into two groups, shouting to regain Liaoyang, and quickly rushed to the two wings of the Ming army.

Liaoyang was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it should be recovered by the Ming army, but they screamed shamelessly.

Seeing the cavalry from Dongyao rushing madly, Huang Ming raised the order flag high in his hand.

The flintlock guns on the two wings of the Ming army also pointed their muzzles at the cavalry of the Eastern captives.

Seeing the Ming army raising their flintlock guns, the Eastern captive cavalry laughed loudly:

"Look, my lord, there are no artillery here, they are all Vulcan guns, haha..."

The leader, Jiala Ezhen, also saw the situation on the opposite side.

They were a little afraid of artillery, but for sharp guns, these Dongyao cavalry just laughed.

"That's right, when we get close to them, these Ming dogs will run away after firing two shots in a panic, killing..."

Huang Ming's eyes were fixed on the cavalrymen of Dongyao, and he calculated the distance between them and himself.

Seeing the cavalry of the Eastern Captives enter the effective shooting range of the flintlock, he snorted coldly and waved down the command flag in his hand.

"See how long you can be arrogant.

"fire"

"Hit me hard..."

"Boom bang..."
