Chapter 738

Since the formation of the army, the Wei army has relied heavily on firearms. As long as the soldiers of the Wei army heard the roar of the bronze cannons, they felt particularly powerful.

The C battalion of the Wei army, each battalion is equipped with two bronze cannons dragged by strong horses, and twelve cannons are fired from the two wings. Puffs of loess and sand were raised, and the cavalry of the Qing army who was hit stumbled and threw the cavalry above directly.

On the front line of the Wei army, the soldiers immediately cheered in unison, "Mighty!"

Compared with the Wei army, the Qing army cavalry trembled, bent down, and continued to charge forward.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Oboi frowned slightly. He had heard of the Wei army's bronze cannons, self-generating firecrackers, and siege mortars capable of firing explosive shells, as well as the Wei army's new firecracker horizontal array and hollow phalanx. Imitation is also being carried out, and there is also research on the formation of the army that restrains the Wei army, but he has not experienced them one by one.

The Wei army has a lot of advanced weapons, but due to the level of production capacity and resource constraints, the elite Type A battalions are mainly equipped with advanced weapons.After all, with the production capacity at this time, it is almost impossible to produce equipment for more than 30 Wei troops in one or two years.

After Oboi broke into Yongliang, his main opponents were the local garrison battalions of the Wei army, and a small number of C-type battalions. The real elite soldiers of the Wei army were actually in Guanzhong.

At this time, Obai looked at the Wei army's artillery, a little surprised, but there were more than a dozen artillery pieces, although the momentum was terrifying, they obviously couldn't stop the cavalry from charging.

The shells hit the Qing army's formation, splashing a column of mud. The horse army's speed did not slow down.

At this moment, in front of the Wei army's front line, the red cloth on several vehicles was lifted, and dense rockets leaked out. The soldiers of the Wei army lit the rockets and ran back immediately. A cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the vehicles, and then "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Countless rockets sprang out.

The arrows dragged their tail flames, scurrying around in the formation, bringing up strips of smoke, and the gunpowder boosted the arrows to roar out, shooting at the oncoming Qing cavalry from an unthinkable angle.

The cavalry of the Qing army who rushed in front were shot by rockets, or the horses stumbled in fright. The horses and knights flew into the air at the same time, hit the ground heavily, and rolled far away. , the sound of hooves rumbled, quickly closing the distance between the two armies.

Aobai's face twitched when he saw this. Elinchen, the king of Zhasak County in the Ordos Department, once told Haoge and Aobai and others that the Wei army's weapons had a long range. Combining all kinds of weapons, with layer upon layer of firepower, riding and shooting around the Wei army is looking for death, but Aobai didn't believe it. He insisted that Er Linchen deliberately exaggerated the fighting power of the Wei army in order to cover up his incompetence.

Now it seems that Er Linchen is still very honest and not exaggerating, but Aobai has no intention of calling a stop.

Wei Jun's firearms are powerful, I don't believe you can't finish shooting, but my horse army came in waves, and the front was frustrated. The second echelon continued to move forward, let's see how you resist.

"Fire blunderbuss! Let it go!" At this time, in the formation of the Wei army, Zhao Daxian yelled suddenly when the Qing army cavalry rushed out of the smoke trail caused by the rocket.

The sound of suona and drums sounded in the formation, and the firecrackers who heard the order raised their firecrackers horizontally, squinted their heads sideways, and their eyes burst out with sharp light.

The gunners of the army mainly listen to the command of the infantry drum and the suona in the queue. The drum beats command the soldiers to load, and the suona commands the firing, retreat and forward.

At this time, there was a high-pitched suona sound, and there was a "bang bang bang" sound in front of Wei Jun's formation. The air waves screamed in the air, and the Qing army's horse army who had just rushed out of the smoke belt fell down again in an instant.

After firing the blunderbuss, gunpowder smoke filled the front of the Wei army. The blunderbussmen raised the blunderbuss upright in front of their chests in unison. The platoon soldiers, having checked the matchlock, stepped forward with guns.

The soldiers of the Wei army moved neatly, facing thousands of horse troops swarming in, they remained calm and stood firm at their posts, which can be said to be well-deserved elites.

Among the elite, many soldiers have been incorporated into the Wei army for more than a year. The Wei army is already very experienced in how to train firecrackers, and within a year they can train firecrackers capable of going to the battlefield.

The Wei army continued to shoot and kill, and I don’t know how many Qing troops fell to the ground. The projectiles fired by the Wei army almost formed an airtight wall, making the Qing army rushing forward as if they had bumped into something. The horses and corpses were in front of the Wei army. Within ten steps, the ground was covered, and the corpses became more dense as they went forward.

Under the attack of various firearms, the two thousand cavalry of the first echelon of the Qing army lost five or six hundred cavalry, and finally rushed within [-] steps of the Wei army.

Their goal was not to hit the Wei army's spear formation and fight close to hand, but to disrupt the Wei army's formation with cavalry and shooting, creating opportunities for the heavy cavalry to charge into the formation.

At this time, after suffering many blows, the cavalry of the Qing army finally reached the distance to counterattack with their bows. However, the bombardment of cannons, the scurrying of rockets, and the volley of volleys had already frightened the cavalry of the first echelon. The Mongolian vassals hurriedly rounded their bowstrings on the horse, shot an arrow hastily at the smoky Wei army's line, then pulled the horse's reins violently, the cavalry split into two groups, and ran back after a detour.

With the quality of the Mongolian horse army, a volley within [-] steps can basically shoot without missing a shot, but because of the panic and smoke blocking the line of sight, only a small number of people in the Wei army were hit by arrows.

But the soldiers of the Wei army did not have time to rejoice. At the moment when the first echelon of cavalry pulled out their horses and spread out to both sides, and turned back, the second echelon followed the first echelon and galloped to the front of the Wei army's line.

Because the first echelon of the Qing army blocked most of the attacks of artillery, rockets, and firecrackers, and the second echelon suffered less damage, so when the second wave of arrow rain came, the aim was obviously much higher. It's also much denser.

The arrows thrown by the Qing army covered the spear array of the Wei army, and the arrows hit the spearmen of the Wei army wearing dish-shaped iron helmets, and the arrows jingled.

The spearman in heavy armor squatted on the ground, lowered his head and held his spear, unmoved, but under the dense arrows, even wearing heavy armor, some soldiers fell backwards from the arrows, fell to the ground and howled, and the Wei army's spear array became loose. .

At this moment, Obai stared intently at the attack of the Qing army's cavalry, and in his opinion, he could accept the losses of the Qing army before they approached the big formation of the Wei army.

When the Wei army's artillery roared and smashed into the Qing army's formation, splashing lumps of mud, and the horses fell down one after another, Oboi was just surprised, because of the range of the Wei army's artillery, but he was not panicked.

When the cavalrymen of the Qing army fell off their horses one after another under the shooting of rockets and firecrackers, Oboi only felt a little pain in his flesh, but he remained calm.

Because he knew that when these were over, it would be the turn of the cavalry of the Qing army to counterattack, and the rest was massacres, and the Qing army could make the Wei army pay even heavier losses.

Seeing the Wei army's spear array loosen under the harassment of cavalry and shooting, Oboi smiled.

At this time, the second echelon of the Qing army, under the bombardment of the Wei army's firecrackers, dispersed again, finally revealing the heavy cavalry of the third echelon.

The cavalry of the Qing army seemed to open two doors in a row, and finally revealed the fierce face of the heavy cavalry of the Qing army. The heavy cavalry of the Qing army held a spear and wore armor and galloped. The cavalry lowered the cavalry and pointed it at the ground. The spear of the Wei army charged directly at it.

At this moment, there was a "bang" in front of the formation, and the cavalry of the Qing army was blown away, but the heavy cavalry behind couldn't brake, and still hit the spear formation of the Wei army.

In an instant, the heavy cavalry of the Qing army was like a heavy hammer, smashing the Wei army's line into a depression, knocking several rows of spearmen into the air, but they were finally stopped by the Wei army.

After all, the heavy cavalry of the Qing army were not the tin cans of the Jin Dynasty, but only cavalry wearing armor and a set of cotton armor on the horses, and their ability to charge into battle was still lacking.

As soon as they entered the battle, after losing their speed, they were immediately besieged by the soldiers of the Wei army. The Wei army's spearmen stabbed the cavalry and the horses, and the Qing army immediately suffered heavy losses.

This is not a Mongolian soldier, but the Eight Banners of the Qing Army. Oboi's cheeks twitched. Seeing that the cavalry failed to break through the infantry, he immediately waved his hand, "Back back, and charge again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed from behind, "No, Wei Jun is coming from the east again!"

Aobai turned his head suddenly, and saw a cloud of dust rising behind the plateau to the east, but it was Gao Yigong from the direction of Yan'an who led 5000 troops to chase him away.

For a moment, Oboi finally panicked, it seemed that he was really surrounded.

Gao Yi led [-] Wei troops to join the battle group, and immediately drove the Qing troops off the plateau.

"How is it?" Gao Yigong couldn't help asking when he found Liu Tichun who was sitting on the ground panting.

"You came in time! There is no problem here, and the governor of Zhao in the west is also very powerful. He has already taken over a horse army raid by the Tartars!" Liu Tichun stood up and gasped.

Gao Yigong looked forward, and he saw that Zhao Daxian's army formation was complete, and the Qing soldiers who were rushing into the formation were retreating.

"Okay!" Gao Yigong praised, then pulled out the saber, and said to Liu Tichun: "You rest for a while, I will cover up and kill from behind!"
