Borrow the day to change the day

Of course, the Jianlu who attacked the Ming army did not rush forward with bare hands. In order to resist the Ming army's muskets, they temporarily modified their shields.

It's like putting cotton armor on a large shield that is more effective in defending against lead bullets. If one layer is not enough, two layers are needed.

All the Jianlu in the front rushed forward holding large shields similar to this modification, and the archers followed behind the first few rows of shieldmen.

These archers began to lob when they reached a similar distance, regardless of whether their power could cause damage to the Ming army, at least it was a deterrent.

Contrary to Jianlu's high and crazy enthusiasm for charging, there has been no movement on the Ming army's position.

This time, no Jianlu believed that the Ming army had escaped.As the distance narrowed, their hearts lifted, and they used crazy shouts to hide their inner fear.

Suddenly, the sound of "boom, boom, boom" sounded, and Jianlu in the front row had just thought, "Why does the Ming army have artillery?", and his body was torn apart by the sprayed iron eggs.

It turned out that when Jianlu was about to attack, the field artillery unit of the Ming army finally arrived.

With the help of flintlock soldiers, cannon ports were dug out of the bottom of the parapet.It is precisely because there are Jianlu corpses in the parapet, which is equivalent to a beam, and it is easy to dig out a cannon port.

The field artillery are all improved Francois cannons, so they only need to expose a hole and load it in the breech to fire.

After the expansion of the new army, the field artillery has also increased a lot, which is enough to arrange artillery side by side on this narrow road.

You don't need to aim, just shoot straight forward, and the densely packed prisoners who rush up are their best targets.

The artillerymen hid behind the parapet and fired. Although many arrows passed over the parapet, the damage to the artillery was extremely limited.The artillery endured a little casualties, and fired at a closer range, but the harvest was huge.

The modified shields of Jianlu still have a certain effect if they defend against lead bullets fired by muskets, but such simple things cannot resist powerful artillery live ammunition at all.

All of a sudden, the lives of those who charged Jianlu were harvested in batches.Especially after firing the first few rounds of live ammunition, the efficiency is even more obvious when the shotgun is changed.

No matter how elite and courageous Jianlu is, he cannot withstand such a fierce artillery bombardment.No matter what attitude the generals in the rear had, they all fled back like a tide, and only hated their parents for losing two legs.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the battle situation with a telescope, secretly shouting in his heart.Then he looked at the moon in the sky and realized that it would be dawn soon.

According to the news brought by the field troops, Zhong Jinwei looked at the Jianlu temporary camp in the distance, thought for a while, and asked the buglers to blow a long and short "beep" sound.

At this time, Huang Taiji's gloomy face was almost darker than the sky before the rainstorm.But he didn't get angry, and he didn't do anything like push out and behead the escaped general.

Because he knows that the battle situation in this situation cannot be resisted by manpower.With such fierce artillery fire by the Ming army, no matter how many people pile up, it will only give the Ming army meritorious service.

Huang Taiji stood in the middle of the temporary camp, looking up at the sky.Seeing that dawn was coming soon, he ordered to wait for the sky to brighten before attacking.

Not long after, what made him feel a little better was that a large number of carts of various specifications were sent from the rear, and there were even five counterweight trebuchets.

Seeing so many ordnance being sent, those who complained about the slow speed in the rear have forgotten this idea.Jianlu, big and small, were full of confidence in the victory of the war.

Finally, the moon was on duty all night and went back to rest.The white belly of the east is exposed, and the light is getting brighter and brighter.

A larger offensive was immediately organized, the catapults were placed in appropriate positions, and the offensive Jianlu was covered by chariots. As the drums sounded again, the battle at Niutougang was launched again.

From beginning to end, the catapult was not bombarded.The catapult operators who had been on tenterhooks secretly rejoiced that the artillery of the Ming army should not be able to shoot so far, they must only have small artillery.

So, they began to operate with confidence and boldness. After trying to launch a stone bomb, they readjusted the counterweight, and then tilted the stone bomb towards the Ming army's position.

Huang Taiji and the other slave chiefs were behind the catapult, watching the movement of the catapult.

Seeing the stone bullets smaller than the millstone, they soared into the air again and again, hitting the Ming army's position in the distance.The slave chiefs, big and small, knew in their hearts that the outcome of this battle had been decided.

However, the price Dajin paid for this was also very heavy, especially in the last attack, the casualties of being bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army were more than the sum of the previous battles.

Although all the casualties added up, did not exceed [-]% of the total force.But Dajin had never paid such a large number of casualties in previous wars.

No matter what, in Huang Taiji's heart, even so, as long as this firearms unit of the Ming army is wiped out, he still thinks it's worth it.

Because this firearms unit caused too much damage to Daikin!Every time the Ming army injures Dajin, there is this firearms troop.

Its sharp attack power and power that cannot be resisted by humans make even the bravest Daikin soldiers terrified.This firearms unit of the Ming army not only caused damage to the bodies of the Dajin soldiers, but also dealt a great blow to the morale of the Dajin army.

If this firearms unit is not wiped out in time, if it goes on like this, it will give the Dajin army the impression that this Ming army is invincible, and Dajin will not be able to defeat this Ming army no matter what.

Huang Taiji understood that once this cognition was formed, it would be the most fatal to Da Jin.For a long time, Dajin has relied on one victory after another to maintain its tyranny in combat power and maintain the unity of Dajin.

Once the victory is no longer there, internal conflicts will erupt.It is also fortunate that he has integrated the internal affairs of Daikin and stopped engaging in the "Eight Kings' Discussion". Otherwise, after these several defeats, conflicts within Daikin would have erupted long ago.

For some reason, Huang Taiji no longer had the same confidence in Daikin's future in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about gains and losses, Doduo beside him suddenly said a little strangely: "Why didn't the Ming army fight back?"

Upon hearing this, Azig said, "It should be impossible to defend against the catapult, so I retreated. You see, after the Dajin army rushed up, the Ming army's firearms would soon go off."

However, it turns out that Azig guessed wrong.

Jianlu's catapults stopped attacking, and the infantry rushed into the Ming army's position, but did not find a Ming army.

When the military intelligence from the front line came to Huang Taiji, his face immediately changed.After paying a huge price, the duck that was about to be eaten flew away again!Frustrated and angry, he shouted loudly: "Chasing after me!"

Seeing this, Ji Erhalang comforted Huang Taiji and said, "Don't worry, Khan, it is impossible for the Ming army to run far in such a short time."

The sound of rumbling iron hoofs sounded again, and Jianlu began to pursue.
