Chapter 399: With My Determination to Break Through the Enemy Lines, I Am Invincible!

After the axemen, there are the crossbowmen and the gunmen. They are responsible for the real killing output of the military formation.

Because of the efforts of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao, the three-eyed gun and the Lumi gun have now become popular in the Ming army, especially in the Beijing army, which is standard equipment for almost everyone.

The military formation has also become more powerful due to the addition of firearms, especially the current situation of cavalry carving formations.

Before these Mongolian cavalry who broke through the defense of the shield soldiers and rushed into the formation had time to rejoice, with a dense thunderous sound, they fell into a pool of blood one after another, unable to even resist.

After all, the Mongolian cavalry is currently trapped in a military formation, surrounded by its own legions and unable to charge, so it naturally becomes a living target!

No matter how inaccurate these archers and gunmen are, they can still hit the enemy at such a close distance with their eyes closed!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A rain of arrows as dense as locusts shot out, causing considerable casualties to the Mongolian cavalry.

After all, at such a close distance, it is simply impossible for them to escape!

But this is not the key, the fire blunderbuss is what makes the Mongolian cavalry most desperate!

Darhan, who was fighting from left to right, suddenly stiffened, and a hole appeared between his eyebrows. Then his brain lost his ability to think. Before he had time to react, he fell off his horse and died on the spot!

The beloved son-in-law of Dayan Khan Batu Mengke and the leader of the left-wing Kashgar tribe died in the battle of the Ming army!

Darhan died in battle!

According to common sense, the Kashgar Cavalry will retreat at this point.

However, before the battle, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke issued a death order and would never withdraw his troops!

No matter who dies in the battle, even if Batu Mengke dies in the battle, the throne of Khan will be passed on to his heirs, and they will continue to fight and win this battle that determines the fate of the great Mongolian country!

Therefore, if Darhan dies in battle, his heirs will lead the tribal warriors to continue the war. If his heirs die in battle again, then the Kashgar tribe’s captain of ten thousand men will continue to lead the army. After the captain of ten thousand men dies, there will be thousands of men. Long, after the thousands of captains die in battle, there are still centurions!

Even if the battle is fought to the last soldier, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke will win this war!

Furthermore, once the cavalry stops fighting, it is basically impossible to charge again and escape from the battlefield!

These Ming army officers and soldiers are not fools. How could they just watch you fight in and out again?

Therefore, the warriors of the Kashgar tribe had no other choice but to brave the dense rain of arrows and bullets and rush towards the fire gunmen and archers like crazy!

As long as they are dealt with, the Ming army's front line will naturally be destroyed!

This is a fight to the death!

Not only the trapped camp, but also the Ming army formations such as the first ascending camp, the beheading camp, and the flag-capturing camp were all attacked by the densely packed Mongolian cavalry!

Tang Mu personally killed the enemy with a sword in his hand, standing at the front with the shield soldiers.

Chang Kuohai wielded the Xuanhua giant ax and slashed wildly. His whole body was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether it was his own or the enemy's.

An Guo also gritted his teeth and shouted angrily!

"The ambition to break the formation!"

"Death or life!" tens of thousands of soldiers trapped in the camp shouted in unison.

At the same time, Tang Hao looked at the entire battlefield situation and responded quickly.

He sat high on his horse far away from the battlefield, and issued orders one after another through the messengers beside him.

Changes on the battlefield always happen in an instant!

The general is the brain of an army. Only under the command of the brain can the trunk make corresponding movements.

Ever since he learned the tactics of Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong, Tang Hao had always kept them in mind, so he rarely led his troops to attack unless he was forced to do so at a critical moment.

Under the timely command of Zhu Di, the three cavalry groups of 30,000 households on the right wing have entered the battlefield. They are responsible for cutting the battlefield, cutting off the left wing army in the middle, and forcing its 100,000 cavalry into small battlefields!

Under the left-wing banner, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke also discovered this keenly!

For him, this is simply a God-given opportunity!

Ming military firearms are as sharp as ever!

But facing the charging Mongolian cavalry, it was also difficult for them to resist!

When he thought of this, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke immediately gave the order.

"Cannon, fire!"

The Mongolian left wing also has artillery, which comes from the Ming army in Hetao.

When Dayan Khan Batu Mengke exchanged 50,000 cattle and sheep for a hundred tiger squatting cannons, he never used them. He regarded them as his last trump card that could change the direction of the war!

Following his order, a shrill horn sounded immediately.

After receiving the order, the Mongolian artillerymen all took a deep breath.

After they observed the distance and adjusted the direction, they immediately fixed the gun body to the ground with large iron nails to prevent the recoil from overturning the gun body.

This Tiger Crouching Cannon is, to put it bluntly, the simplest mortar, like a large grenade with a low depression angle.

Because the gun body was so light, large iron nails had to be used to fix the gun body to the ground before firing.

Moreover, each shot can be loaded with hundreds of small lead bullets or pebbles weighing five cents, and a large lead bullet or stone bullet weighing thirty taels is used to press the top. When fired, both large and small bullets fly out with a roar like thunder and great lethality. and radiation range are very large, especially suitable for field battles.

In fact, facing the stubborn military formation of the Ming army, the best way to counterattack is undoubtedly the catapult.

However, the catapult's launch efficiency is too low and requires manpower to carry heavy stones. On such a rapidly changing battlefield, it cannot be launched several times!

So Dayan Khan Batu Mengke can only hope to use the tiger squat cannon to cover the Ming army's position with firepower!

"Fire!"

"Tear up their army formation for this Khan!"

Dayan Khan Batu Mengke gave an order.

The artillery that had been prepared for a long time fired quickly, and a row of fifty tiger squat cannons suddenly made a deafening volley of artillery fire, aiming directly at the Ming army's position.

In an instant, stones and lead bullets shot out from the sky and headed straight for the Ming army!

Thirty tiger squat cannons fired at the same time, and in an instant, the front of the formation was dense like rain, and the bullets were shot over the sky.

"Not good!"

"Raise the shield quickly! Quick!"

An Guo's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered.

But it was still a step too late.

The power of the tiger squat cannon, the Ming army has the most say, and the range is better than bows and arrows.

Although the Tiger Crouching Cannon did not fire the kind of shells that could explode in later generations, the explosion of hundreds of lead bullets was actually no different from the explosion of shells, and the lethality was equally amazing.

On the Ming army's position, facing the dense and locust-like projectiles that were shooting all over the sky, the Beijing army soldiers responded quickly, holding steel shields to protect themselves and their comrades, but many people still fell into a pool of blood before they could react.

The most ironic thing is that the most people who died under this Tiger Crouching Cannon were Mongolian soldiers!

Because the firepower covered the entire battlefield, the existing conditions could not achieve accurate strikes at all, so these Mongolian soldiers who were fighting to attack the Ming army were directly shot into sieves by the projectiles shot from behind, and they didn't even know how they died!

The entire battlefield was silent!
