Chapter 1320 Collapse
Thors Tengsen was driven a little crazy by the Ming army. He knew that if there were a few more rounds, the men in the front row would be in a situation where they could only be beaten and couldn't fight back, and they would definitely collapse!Moreover, the most important thing is that the Ming army on the opposite side is all cavalry. Once it collapses, it will be a disaster, and there is no escape.

In desperation, although he knew it would not work, he still ordered the artillery to shoot freely to boost morale.

The Swedish artillerymen were already aggrieved. After receiving the military order, they immediately started to take aim and fire.

The sound of "boom, boom, boom" reverberated all the soldiers in the Swedish army.

For a long time, artillery has been the killer of the Swedes.And their commander is also the best general in Europe who is good at using artillery.As soon as the cannon fired, their confidence was restored a lot.

However, the reality of the situation hit their expectations hard again.

At this distance, only solid bullets have enough range. However, those Ming soldiers who shot the Ming army were in groups of three or four, and each group was separated from each other. After a sharp whistle sound, three or four hundred shooting Ming troops lined up in horizontal lines with intervals.Lie down there to shoot, or sit there to load ammunition, as long as you pay attention to the direction of the muzzle and don't line up, basically nothing will happen.

A round of shelling went on, listening to the excitement, the sound of "boom boom boom" sounded continuously, but only one Ming army soldier was unlucky, was hit by an iron egg and died heroically.

However, during this round of shelling, the Swedish army formation in the front line has been dented a lot.

After several rounds of shelling, not to mention how much gunpowder and shells were wasted by the artillery, the disproportionate exchange of casualties between the two sides was enough to make the Swedish soldiers despair.

You must know that these Swedish soldiers are not defending their homes and the country, and there is no way out. They are aiming to win battles and grab things to make a fortune.Although they also abide by military discipline because of Thorstensen's harshness, it can be said that the situation in front of them, where they are almost beaten and killed, but unable to fight back and kill their opponents, is the biggest blow to their will.

Now at this time, even the trump card they rely on most has been used, but it still has no effect.In the situation where all the cards were played, and the situation was still the same, some soldiers in the front row began to collapse.

Amidst the sound of "bah bah bah" shooting, suddenly, a Swedish soldier in the front row, who felt that he was being targeted by the Ming army, suddenly let out a scream of "wow", held his gun, and yelled at him. Ming Jun rushed over.

There was no accident, and after only a few steps, he was taken care of by a few lead bullets.

However, although he died, it greatly affected the soldiers around him.Immediately, some soldiers followed him, armed with guns, or opened fire directly, or rushed towards the Ming army frantically.

If the Ming army fired in salvo, they might be able to get closer while the Ming army was loading ammunition together, putting pressure on the Ming army.However, the Ming army fired in bursts, and there were not many soldiers who ran out of the battle due to mental breakdown. They were immediately taken care of by the Ming army soldiers who could fire, and they were often brought down before they could go far.

A musket is not like a cannon. If it hits an enemy, it will not kill him immediately, except for the vital parts of course.

After such a long contact battle, there are at least a few hundred Swedish soldiers lying on the ground in front of them.Not many died immediately, but those who were lying there moaning, crying for their parents and mothers kept coming and going, very lively.

At the beginning, the spirit of the Swedish soldiers was concentrated on the opponent's Ming army, and they hardly cared about other things.But at this moment, even if the spirits of the soldiers in the front row did not collapse, they were on the verge of collapse. Seeing those accomplices rushing out, they immediately attracted their attention, and then saw them fall to the ground moaning and shouting, and then Suddenly, I realized that so many accomplices had fallen in front of me.

This time, it was like the last straw, and it crushed many Swedish soldiers at once.They no longer care about how cruel Thorstenson's military order is, and they don't care about the consequences of defeating the war if the phalanx breaks up. Anyway, at this time, they don't want to be in such a situation where they can only be beaten to death but have nothing to do. situation.

Speaking of it, the Ming army is also cunning enough. Shooting the Ming army actually did not pick the soldiers in the middle of the phalanx, but shot at the soldiers at the edge of the phalanx.Now, this effect is out.

When the soldiers on the edge of the phalanx saw their comrades fall down again, they couldn't stand it any longer. With an "ah", they turned around and ran to the back of the phalanx.If the fleeing Swedish soldiers were replaced by those in the middle of the army formation, they would not be able to run back.But at this time, he was on the side, but he was able to run back smoothly.

When he ran, the soldiers around him were immediately mobilized, and they ran back without hesitation.

At this time, like a sand sculpture, it broke up with a "bang", and the front, the most severely hit army formation, broke up in an instant. Almost everyone dared not face the harvest of the Ming army, and all moved back. Ran.

The Swedish military formation is not a large military formation, but is divided into small military formations.As soon as the small phalanx in front collapsed, the small phalanx next to them followed suit and collapsed.

Several phalanxes that were shooting directly at the Ming army almost collapsed together after seeing someone running back first.As soon as these soldiers ran back, there were a bit too many of them, they immediately began to attack the phalanx behind them.

Suddenly, in a very short period of time, the Swedish army was in chaos, all in chaos.

Shooting at the back of the Ming army, those Ming soldiers who were waiting for an opportunity, seeing this situation, immediately sped up their horses and started to pounce on the Swedish army formation like wolves seeing a flock of sheep.The cavalry behind also moved one after another, all pressing forward.

As soon as the nearly ten thousand cavalry moved, the momentum became louder, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, pressing on the hearts of every Swedish soldier.

Seeing this situation, Thor Stenson was frightened out of his wits.Immediately shouting orders, the army formation in the back row immediately opened fire, and the targets were those accomplices who fled backwards.

"Blah blah blah..."

Intensive gunshots sounded from the phalanx in the back row, and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, immediately filling the sky over the Swedish army formation.

This decisive approach is indeed somewhat useful.The Swedish soldiers who were running back in a hurry saw their accomplices who fled at the front were shot and fell to the ground, and their minds regained consciousness again.They immediately remembered Tors Stenson's harsh military law, and knew that if they fled further, they would die at the hands of their own people.

This time, many of them hesitated and did not dare to run back.

However, at this time, they had already heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from behind them, so they all turned their heads to look.At the same time, they also subconsciously want to re-form the phalanx, because they know that only in this way can they fight against the cavalry.

However, at this moment, the cavalry rushing ahead were not far away from them.I saw those Ming army cavalry holding sticks with many holes and aiming at them.

"Blah blah blah..."

Gunpowder smoke rose from the cavalry group of the Ming army, and at the same time intensive gunshots followed.The Swedish soldiers in front of the cavalry, who were still hastily re-arranging, fell down a large area at once, and almost all the soldiers who fell behind were not spared.

Such a violent shooting shocked these Swedish soldiers again. They couldn't figure out what was going on with the Ming army firing so violently.At this time, their morale, which had been slightly restored due to the harsh military law, suddenly collapsed again.

If he did not escape, he would either die under the fierce shooting of the Ming army, or die in the charge of the cavalry army.

So, the Swedish soldiers ran back again regardless.And this time, because they knew that the cavalry of the Ming army was chasing them, the terrible sound of horseshoes sounded behind them, and they ran even faster.

This time, it was useless for the army formation in the rear to fire again. The army formation that was approaching was immediately dispersed by the rout, and then they fled together. In this way, they dispersed the phalanx behind...

Anyway, the Swedish military formation at this time is like a domino, with a chain reaction, one phalanx after another is collapsing...

At this time, no matter how awesome and powerful Thors Tengsen is, he is already helpless.

In fact, when he saw the first phalanx collapsed due to pressure, or when he was unable to crack the Ming army's stupid tactics, he already had the consciousness of losing the battle.What I didn't expect was that the Ming army responded very correctly and swiftly. There was a hole in their own army formation, and they were able to kill them immediately.

Seeing the army crumble, he couldn't control it anymore, so he turned around and ran away immediately.No accident, when he ran, all the Swedish soldiers ran away regardless.

So, on this eastern European plain, the red ocean rolled forward again, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes sounded again.

After about three hours of fighting, the plain became quiet again, and teams of Diming soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.In the distance, there are still many Ming troops returning victoriously.Everyone had the joy of victory on their faces.This time, there are a lot more military achievements!

And Li Dingguo came to the artillery position of the Swedish army, got off his horse and checked the Swedish artillery.I have to say that Daming did not do one thing before, that is, he did not dismantle the artillery.If the artillery is split, it will become possible for the cavalry to carry artillery.If it is an ordinary artillery, even if it is equipped with wheels, it will seriously slow down the speed of the cavalry.

After taking a picture and uploading it to the temporary chat group, Li Dingguo suggested: "My Daming's rifled cannon can also be split, so that the cavalry can carry it, and it will be easier to fight against the European army's phalanx. .”

Artillery is artillery after all, no matter how small it is, it has a longer range and greater power than a flintlock.In this battle, if there is a small rifled artillery, such as the one that can be operated by two people, even if it uses solid ammunition, it will definitely be able to penetrate the enemy's formation with one shot, and the deterrent effect on the enemy will be great. a lot of.If there is such a sharp weapon in this battle, it is estimated that the war will have ended long ago.

Although talent is the ultimate factor in determining a battle, today's battle has proved that excellent equipment is also a factor that cannot be ignored.Especially when the military quality of both sides is not to the point of crushing, the quality of equipment is even more important.

Regarding Li Dingguo's proposal, the bigwigs in the group, including Emperor Chongzhen, naturally would not have any objections. If the plan continues, there will naturally be craftsmen to improve it.

This is not a technical problem, but because before, the Ming army did not need cavalry expeditions to other countries like this time, and it must have the speed of coming and going like the wind like Li Dingguo's troops, so this kind of cavalry was not considered. Problems with carrying artillery.Now, since it has been brought up, to solve this problem, with the technical strength reserved by Daming, of course there will be no big problem.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with Li Dingguo's victory, so he ordered him: "Sweden and Poland can't limit themselves to destroying their reinforcements. We must teach them a hard lesson and let them know that those who dare to fight against Ming Dynasty The end. You choose the opportunity to move, if possible, teach them a lesson for their own country. But, remember, you can’t attack fortified cities. We, Ming, don’t engage in wars of attrition! The way to deal with it after the war is still the same. The so-called nobles, Kill them all, the oppressed serfs must be gracious!"

Hearing this, Man Gui couldn't bear it any longer. This time, he only watched Li Dingguo perform.He immediately asked for a fight, and also wanted to help Li Dingguo.Anyway, on the side of Samara Fort, the main force led by Yang Sichang has almost arrived.

So, while Li Dingguo built another Beijing temple, Patriarch Filaret was surprised to find that the Ming army outside the city had withdrawn on the side of Samara Fort.

No, that's not right, they just left Samara Castle and headed west.

At this moment, Filaret became anxious. There were too few troops in Moscow, and the Ming army did not want to retreat and went straight to Moscow. The pressure on Moscow was too great.

Patriarch Filaret immediately held an emergency military meeting and said to the many nobles below: "The Ming army dares to ignore Samara Castle, which is a good thing for us. Everyone, as long as we can treat the cattle and sheep in the Ming army Even if it does not cause casualties to the Ming army, the Ming army will definitely be defeated with our prior strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field. Therefore, all the cavalry in our hands must be used in a concentrated manner. You can't hide your secrets, victory or defeat depends on one action, understand?"

On Li Dingguo's side, the [-] cavalry army can still support the war by fighting, and use the property of the nobles to supplement military supplies, but the [-] cavalry army in Mangui cannot do so.Therefore, cattle and sheep were carried with the army, but this also slowed down the speed of the cavalry.Now Patriarch Filaret took a fancy to this and arranged actions in a targeted manner.

It has to be said that dealing with cattle and sheep is much easier than dealing with the Ming army, and there are many more methods.After all, those cattle and sheep need to eat grass and drink water.The cattle and sheep used by the [-] cavalry army were not in small quantities.

Therefore, many nobles agreed one after another, patted their chests one by one, and shouted that they must let the Ming army come and go.

But at this moment, suddenly a little boss ran in and shouted in panic: "It's not good, it's not good, the Ming army is here again, so many..."

After hearing this report, everyone was in no mood to continue the meeting, and rushed to the top of the city to see the situation.On the grassland to the east, there are countless red seas, no need to guess, there are obviously more than the previous Ming army.

At this moment, Patriarch Filaret and the others were in despair. The big country in the east was too bullying. They actually sent so many troops from such a long distance.

There are so many of you, so you just come to the West to do whatever you want, how few people bully us!
