My father is Jiajing

Chapter 177 Firepower is Justice
The morning light was like a sword, piercing through the clouds and sprinkling on the earth, so that the morning dew was completely cut off in a moment, and there was no trace of moisture hanging on the tips of the grass.

Tuotuo was preparing his 6,000 elite cavalry, and the agreed time for the charge had arrived.

Tuotuo sat high on the horse, drew out the scimitar in his hand, and finally encouraged his soldiers.

"Warriors of Tumed, the treasure house of the Ming people is ahead! The Khan sent us as the vanguard to give us the first merit! For the Khan, for the tribe, and for ourselves, kill all the Ming troops ahead, rob their treasure house, rob their wealth, and return to the grassland to become a rich and legendary hero!"

Tuotuo loudly encouraged his soldiers, raising their spirits to the highest level. Moreover, his words of encouragement were without any nonsense. He simply and directly pointed out the benefits of this battle, making all the soldiers aware that this battle was fought for themselves.

As long as they can destroy the Ming army in front, the Ming people's treasure house and wealth will be in their pockets, and will also be the foundation of their future wealth.

So at this moment, the 6,000-man cavalry vanguard couldn't help but let out excited howls like wolves. Their voices resounded through the sky and were transmitted very far away. Even Huang Jin, Feng Bao and others who were on full alert on the other side of the river could hear them clearly.

After Huang Jin listened to the excited howling of the Tatar bandits on the other side, he smiled and said to Feng Bao: "When they rush into the range of the artillery, the howling will be louder than it is now."

Feng Bao, who was originally nervous, immediately laughed when he heard what Huang Jin said, "Godfather is right, my son will definitely blow them up and make them cry for their parents, so that Godfather can harvest their dog heads!"

Huang Jin laughed, "Go quickly. Don't stand here. We need to move around a bit, too."

Feng Bao bowed immediately, and then arrived at the high ground where the firearms soldiers were. In addition to the cannons, there were many other types of firearms, as well as a volley weapon called "swarm", which looked a bit like the Katyusha rocket launcher of later generations.

This weapon was already used in the early Ming Dynasty, but due to technical limitations, its firepower and power could never be fully utilized, so it was gradually eliminated.

However, Zhu Zaigui admired the design of "Yiwofeng" very much, so he made a lot of suggestions and asked the craftsmen to work overtime to improve the old version of "Yiwofeng", raising its performance and power to a higher level.

Of course, it also has a significant disadvantage, which is that the loading is too slow. Once it is fired once, it takes a long time to prepare to load a new rocket.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui did not have high requirements for this type of volley weapon called "swarm". He just wanted them to have a round of crazy output. As long as they could complete the complete firepower coverage in the first time, even the king of heaven would have to kneel down and call him daddy.

And this is what Zhu Zaigui said: "Firepower is justice"!
He wants everyone to clearly realize that "times have changed"! Future wars will only rely more and more on firepower. Whoever has greater firepower and fiercer firepower will be the king of this world!

Huang Jin jumped onto his horse and looked back at the three thousand cavalrymen behind him who were ready to dive into the dry river ahead at any time. His heart was filled with excitement.

Huang Jin shouted loudly: "Soldiers, this will be the last battle! The Tatar bandits invaded our land, killed our people, raped and plundered, and committed all kinds of evil. We are not fighting for others, but for our families behind us. If we take a step back, our families will be in great danger. Today, we have risked our lives. If we cannot win, we will die with you!"

Huang Jin finally roared with all his might: "We will win!"

The three thousand cavalrymen were infected by Huang Jin's emotions and responded excitedly, "We must win! We must win! We must win!"

The belief in victory was like a will that soared to the sky, not only resounding through the sky, but also shaking the earth. At this moment, all the defenders on the Chaobai River line were infected with the belief in victory.

They all believed that under the command of the brave and fearless Marshal Zhu San, this time they would definitely create a new miracle just like their previous brother battalions!
Tuotuo and his men also heard the Ming army's response. At this time, Tuotuo's face also showed a ferocious but excited smile. "Kill them!"

Tuotuo drew out his scimitar and pointed it forward, giving the order to attack.

The vanguard cavalry of 6,000 men rushed towards the Chaobai River defense line like thunder.

The dried-up Chaobai River was like an accelerator for them at this moment, allowing them to charge forward even faster the moment they rushed into the gentle slope of the river.

Feng Bao stared at the Tatar cavalry that had rushed into the river. His palms were full of sweat due to nervousness. This was the first time he faced such a powerful and numerous enemy.

If he said he wasn't nervous or excited, he would definitely be lying.

"It's now!"

Feng Bao watched the Tatar vanguard cavalry rushing over and crossing the center line of the river and entering the firing range of the firearms. He took a deep breath and shouted excitedly: "Fire!"

The firearms soldiers, who had been preparing for who knows how long, also moved at this moment. They ignited their artillery in front of them, aimed at the enemy in the river ahead, and issued the most dazzling and loudest response.

The flashes of artillery fire were like brilliant fireworks, lighting up the entire world in an instant.

The Tatar cavalry who rushed into the river were instantly suppressed by the Ming army's powerful firepower, and their arrogance and marching speed were suppressed. They were all flesh and blood, and it was the first time in their lives that they had faced such brutal fire suppression.

In the past, when they were causing trouble on the Xuanda front, they had also experienced fire attacks from the Ming army, but the firepower of the Ming army at that time was only sporadic and could not stop their charge at all.

But this time they were terrified. The endless firepower of the Ming army fell from the sky like rain, hitting their heads densely.

Tuotuo, who was still in the rear army position, saw the sudden burst of firepower in front of him. He couldn't help but tremble and took a breath!
It is terrible!

But soon the fierce firepower finally stopped. Tuotuo thought that the Ming army's firepower had been fully fired. He excitedly raised his scimitar again: "Keep charging. We have tricked the Ming army's firepower out! Victory belongs to us!"

When Tuotuo said this "lie", his heart was actually trembling, because he knew very well how many cavalrymen had just rushed into the river, and these people obviously could not hold on, and were completely killed by the overwhelming firepower.

Now that the Ming army's firepower has stopped, it means that the firepower of the Ming army in front has been exhausted. It is obviously unreasonable to want to launch another round of such a salvo of fire.

Because as a veteran who had fought against the Ming army for a long time, Tuotuo was very clear about the disadvantage of the Ming army's firearms, which was slow! By the time they were ready for the second round, the cavalry could already rush to their faces.

So Tuotuo felt that this was an opportunity. As long as he charged forward and broke into the Ming army's firearms position, the Chaobai River defense line would be broken.
