I'm a big dick

Chapter 424 Both sides lose

Over the past few years, the Ming army fought several battles with Jiannu, each time almost refreshing Jiannu's cognition, and every time Jiannu was somewhat unexpected.

From the strategic contraction after the Battle of Guangning, to the harassment of the Dongjiang Army, to Zhang Pan's troops attacking and occupying Lushun Fort and defeating the invading Jiannu, and later in the field battle, the three alliances fought against two banners, several stages It shows a significant change in the Ming army.

The Ming army has grown rapidly in a few years from defense to defensive counterattack, and then to field battles.The most important thing is reflected in the weapons and equipment, and Jiannu's feeling about this is particularly obvious.

From Lumi blunderbuss to bird blunderbusses, and then from matchlock guns to flintlock guns; from simple grenade carts, to Hongyi cannons with astonishing power and range, to the large number of Daming heavy pressures; from only red fat jackets, So far the armor is in order...

In just a few years, the Liaodong Ming army underwent a radical change, and the improvement in combat power was astonishing.

On the other hand, Jiannu has not changed much in the past few years, and it is still three-handed and old-fashioned.

In fact, this is also normal. Looking at the world, the reform of military technology and the update of weapons and equipment are not as fast and fierce as the Ming army.

Even if Zhu Youxiao is a time traveler, if he is not the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, no matter how advanced theories and technologies are, he will not have such a quick and strong change.

God bless China, since the emperor is a time traveler, there is no need to say anything.

Neither the helplessness of the doomsday dynasty nor the panic of the subjugated king, Zhu Youxiao naturally spared no effort to promote military progress, and did everything possible to enhance the combat power of the Ming army.

And the army's transformation from weak to strong, and the fundamental reversal of the military situation, can also be said to be the result of countless real money.

Over the past few years, the money spent in Liaodong is no longer in the millions, but tens of millions.

If he can't beat Jiannu like this, is there any reason?Zhu Youxiao felt that he was the law of heaven, and that the slaves could not be destroyed, and the law of heaven was intolerable.

Under the strong firepower of the Ming army, Zhuo Na and Da Mubu's troops who came aggressively to intercept the Ming army were forced to retreat step by step, still dreaming of buying time with casualties.

However, the Ming army's attack was more violent, not only with strong firepower, but also with an increase in troop strength.

Of course Zwirner and Dambub didn't know that this Ming army was not the last army, but a deliberate reduction in strength for them to make a wrong judgment.

Two thousand Lancers received the signal, and carrying more than a dozen ammunition vehicles, rushed to reinforce from the rear. The Ming army immediately took advantage of the strength.

The joining of the new force suddenly made Jiannu feel the irresistible pressure.

Despite launching several desperate charges, they did get close to the Ming army and fought hand-to-hand.

But the Ming army was able to withstand it, and the bombardment of the curved artillery hindered Jiannu's continuous attack, while the Ming army continued to flow.

In the situation of more fighting and less fighting, the Ming army shot and bayoneted again, killing the Jiannu who rushed over with heavy casualties, and returned to the contest of long-range firepower.

Zwirner was already injured, and was blown up by the heavy artillery shells of Ming Dynasty; when Damubu went to supervise the battle in person, he was shot in the face by a musket, and died so much that he didn't even recognize his mother.

Generals such as Zuolingwu Zhutongge, Cavalry Captain Teku, Gartu, Dailuoduo, Sarhenuo and other generals were also killed in fierce battles; countless ordinary soldiers were killed or injured.

Boom, boom, boom...

Surrounded by his own soldiers, Zwirner crouched awkwardly in the dirt pit by the side of the road, his heart was already icy cold.

In the distance, there was a faint rumbling sound, like thunder rolling in the sky.

The troops were constantly forced to retreat, and it was less than three miles away from Weizi Valley.

Zwirner was already trying his best to intercept, but hearing the explosion, the battle in Weizigu was still going on.He didn't know how Azig fought, how could the siege be delayed for so long with more fights and less.

If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out, right?

Zwirner stood up, surrounded by lingering gunpowder smoke, the choking smell of gunpowder in his nose, mixed with the smell of blood.

His vision was a little blurry, but Zwirner could still see that there were many more corpses on the road, and the wounded who were still lying on the ground were screaming and moaning in pain.

Retreating now, with the speed of the cavalry, they can still get rid of the Ming army.

A thought flashed in his mind, and Zwirner frowned again.

There have been so many casualties, the time won will not be wasted, maybe Azig has almost wiped out all the Ming army.If we retreat immediately, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be wasted, and both sides will fail.

Persevere, Azig may need a little time.Zwirner made a guess and hesitated again.

Only three miles away, one side is fighting hard and constantly paying casualties; on the other side, that is, Weizi Valley, the fighting between the enemy and us is fierce, and victory or defeat cannot be determined in a short time.

A mass of black thunder crashed into the attacking Jiannu team, explosions sounded one after another, and thick smoke obscured Azig's sight.

The sound of gunshots roared and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Azig clenched his fists hard and gritted his teeth.

This is the Ming army's routine. At the beginning of the close combat, the grenadier will immediately throw thunderbolts to block Jiannu, making it difficult to guarantee the continuity of its attack.

Then, the Ming army entered the reserve team and launched a strong counterattack.Fighting more and stabbing with guns and knives, wiped out all the Jiannu who were fighting hand-to-hand, and opened the distance again.

The routine is very simple, but it is not easy to crack.The Ming army not only had grenadier vehicles for curved bombardment, but also used the broken foundation of Weizigu Fortress above the ground to carry out three-dimensional strikes with heavy muskets.

The huge roar sounded again, and large groups of white smoke rose up, almost drowning the figures of the Ming Army Musketeers.

Azig's heart shrank suddenly. Even if he couldn't see the actual shooting effect of the familiar gunshot, he could still guess the scene of a group of Jianzhou warriors flying blood and flesh.

This kind of musket is very powerful. If it hits the body, it will lack arms and legs. If it hits the head, it will turn the head into a rotten watermelon. It can even kill several Jianzhou warriors with one shot.

Generals such as Captain Mubuda of Qingche, Zuoling Sai'a, Captain Nimachan of Cavalry, Tukemen of the Guard Academy, Te Mushen of Yunqi Captain, etc., have already died in the battle. Those who were killed by this powerful musket There are several.

The sound of guns in the distance became clearer again, and Azig knew that it was the troops led by Zhuo Na and Damub who were intercepting the Ming army.However, the speed at which he flinched still made him startled and upset.

His own order made it clear that before the war here is over, the Ming army must be firmly blocked there, so that the two Ming armies will not join.

Roughly estimating the time, Azig sent messengers to send orders to Zhuo Na and Damub, asking them to fight to the death and buy time for him to destroy the Ming army.

The messenger had just left in the dust, when a sudden burst of gunfire and explosions on the battlefield attracted Azig's attention.
