Chapter 224: The Great Demolition of the Car Array (Part 2)
A team of cavalry rushed out, and the Jiannu soldiers were so happy when they saw this. They thought that this must be the troops coming to welcome them into the city. As long as they catch them and force them to pull carts with horses, they would save much more effort.
As soon as the Jinyiwei cavalry team went out, they were divided into several small teams and rushed towards the car.
They ran to Jiannu and pulled out the grenade inserted at his waist, blew the fuse hanging on his neck back, lit the lead of the grenade with the fuse, and then swung the arm around and threw the grenade towards the car. When they were running, the force was not easy to control, and the bomb was shortened, but with the speed of the horse, they could still throw the grenade to a very far place. However, even so, there were still several grenades that fell to the ground before they flew past the car. Fortunately, the car was still at a certain distance from the ground, and the grenade rolled in from below.
When the Jiannu soldiers on the chariot saw the cavalry of the Jinyiwei ignited the fuse, they knew that these people might not be here to surrender. They all pulled their bows and arrows. The Jiannu infantry's bows and arrows were one by one, and the range was farther. However, they were in a hurry and had insufficient accuracy. Many arrows were shot empty, but some arrows also hit the Jinyiwei who rushed towards him. More than a dozen Jinyiwei were shot off the horse.
At the same time, "boom boom boom", a shocking explosion sounded in the car. The huge shock wave broke the pillars of the car, and the three layers of horse skin covering the front seemed to be completely removed by an invisible hand. As for the people inside the car, they were even blown into pieces. Several cars were overturned, which were the credit of several grenades that rolled under the car.
Zhu Youcheng's soldiers were always very unscrupulous. They found that there were still several carts that had not been completely blown up, and rushed up and threw away a few grenades. They did not stop until the cart was blown up so badly.
The bomb droppers completed their mission and retreated back to the camp. Suddenly, hundreds of Jinyiwei jumped out of the battlement of the city wall. While using muskets to shoot wildly at Jiannu, who had lost the protection of the car, rushed forward. The leader was Zhu Youcheng.
"A comprehensive counterattack?" asked a bomb-dropping Baihu.
"Let's go and grab the body of the sacrificial brother." A soldier in the Jinyi Guard replied with moist eyes.
Zhu Youcheng was bloody and had already entered a state of madness. He had known for a long time that there would be sacrifices in battle, but when he saw more than a dozen soldiers of Jinyi Guards fell down in front of him, he couldn't help but cry. Seeing that the bomb dropping soldiers had successfully destroyed Jiannu's car, he yelled: "Brothers, let's take the sacrificed brothers home."
After saying that, he took the lead in jumping out of the city wall, and his personal soldiers also jumped out.
When other soldiers of the Jinyi Guard heard Zhu Youcheng say this, they were moved and jumped out one after another. If it weren't for Wu Huping and other thousand households to stop him, all the soldiers would have jumped out of the wall. Zhu Youcheng's strategic thinking had long informed all thousand households that if all the soldiers were allowed to jump out of the city wall, it would mean that the soldiers would lose the cover of the wall and the tiger squat cannon. Although they could kill the enemy, the Jinyi Guard would also suffer significant losses. However, Wu Huping also asked two hundred soldiers to ride on war horses and wait by the city gate. If Zhu Youcheng was in danger, he would lead the cavalry to rescue Zhu Youcheng back.
The destruction of the chariot caused Jiannu's infantry and cavalry to enter a brief state of chaos. The Jinyiwei's fierce rushing and attacking suddenly woke Jiannu. They immediately began to fight back. Unfortunately, Jiannu's bow and arrow range was not as good as the Jinyiwei's muskets. In just a few rounds of shooting, Jiannu's infantry beaten the corpses all over the field. Although Jiannu's cavalry was highly mobile, there were infantry blocking the road ahead and they could not get through. They wanted to bypass other places, but
The other places were crisscrossed with frozen corpses. From there, the war horses could easily sprain the horse's hooves, which was very dangerous. They were so anxious that they jumped straight behind and urged the infantry to retreat to the sides. However, the people were too talkative and the infantry fell into deep fear, so it was not so easy to give in. When they drove the infantry away and gave up a road for cavalry to enter and exit, Zhu Youcheng had already brought the bodies of the sacrificial bomb droppers back to the back of the wall.
Nuerhachi, Abai, and in ancient Tang Dynasty, Huang Taiji and his son were shocked. The cart they had worked hard to cut wood was blown up in this half hour. If they had known, they would have transported it from the north of Ningyuan City to do what?
I thought victory was in sight, but it turned out to be tomorrow's yellow flowers in a blink of an eye. The ups and downs of life made Nuerhachi fall into madness. He shouted: "The whole army charges, must attack me into Juehua Island and kill all the barbarians and soldiers on the island!"
The car formation was Huang Taiji's idea. Seeing that his brilliant plan was destroyed by several broken sticks from Zhu Youcheng, he was so cautious that he was also furious and shouted: "First rush into Juehua Island to reward 100 taels of silver, kill a barbarian, and reward 20 taels of silver!"
When Ah was defeated, the ancient Tang Dynasty also shouted to cheer for the Jiannu soldiers.
When the Jiannu soldiers saw Huang Taiji take out such a high reward, they couldn't help but feel energetic and rushed towards Juehua Island with weapons.
"Boom boom boom", the tiger squat cannons on Juehua Island have been powerful. Without a car, the tiger squat cannon exerted its maximum power. The solid cannon shells plowed out a blood ditch when they passed by; and the flowering cannon shells exploded with one shot. Jiannu was blown up and howled and fled one after another. Jiannu retreated was a little better, and Jiannu rushed to the front immediately was attacked by muskets. A vacuum zone was formed 200 steps in front of the wall, and no Jiannu could rush into here. The power of the rifled muskets was really nothing to say. If you take a gun, you will have cotton armor, iron armor, and steel armor. No matter how brave Jiannu Batulu (Jiannu bird song, meaning warrior) has to fall to the ground.
The north wind blew on Juehua Island. When the cold wind blew, Huang Taiji's mind gradually calmed down. Seeing the soldiers rushing in front falling down like harvesting wheat, his heart was bleeding.
He said to Nuerhachi with a sad face, "Father Khan, you can't continue to shoot anymore. The Ming army's firearms are so powerful that we can't afford to consume them."
"What should we do with the dead warriors? Will we not avenge this revenge?"
"You have to leave your life to take revenge. The guards of Juehua Island are so powerful that they built a city wall on the only passage, so that our cavalry could not detour behind the barbarians and attack them. They forced us to give up the familiar raid and change to the war of attrition that we were not familiar with. This is to attack our shortcomings with their strengths. Also, the barbarians' firearms are very sharp. According to my observation, the range of their muskets is about 300 steps, which is our strong.
Three times the bow. I checked the wounds of the dead soldiers. They were basically two wounds in front and back. Their bullets penetrated the two layers of armor and bodies in front and back of our soldiers. This penetration power was really terrifying. The tactics against the Ming army in the past were completely unsuitable for this army. Father Khan, you see, there were no soldiers from our army within two hundred steps of the wall. They couldn't even launch bows and arrows, so they had already fallen to the ground. No matter how many soldiers there were, they were given to the barbarians to massacre."
Didn't Nuerhachi see it? He was just now blinded by anger. He shook his head, and a crazy light shot out from his eyes, saying, "If you don't break through Juehua Island, you will not stop the troops!"
"Father Khan, you once told us that if you are willing to give up, you will gain only if you have given up. If you keep the green mountains there, you will not be afraid of burning firewood. If you keep our main force, we can also bully the Mongols; if all the main force is lost, it will be the Mongols' turn to bully us."
Nuerhachi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light and said, "If you want to give up, you can get it. Yes, you can't waste time with Juehua Island. I'll send our military orders and withdraw our troops!"
Jiannu shouted and withdrew his troops, but Juehua Island did not have the gentlemanly demeanor and was still chasing and fighting hard. Until Jiannu retreated four hundred steps away, the sound of cannons and guns gradually stopped.
Nuerhachi counted the remaining Jiannu, with only more than 30,000 people left. He brought out from Shengjing but more than 60,000 people were lost. He lost four or five hundred people under Ningyuan City; Wunag was annihilated, and more than 5,000 people were lost; Dongdaying was sneak attacked, and more than 5,000 people were lost; Dongdaying was attacked in the Xia night, and more than 2,000 people were lost. In other words, the battle just now lost more than 12,000 troops. Nuerhachi couldn't help but gasp. Fortunately, Huang Taiji advised him to withdraw his troops, otherwise his strength would have to be all over here. In short, Juehua Island consumed nearly 30,000 troops in total. Juehua Island's guardian can be said to be a famous general who has never been born. He actually turned the dead land without any danger into a solid city. But the famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Nuerhachi knew who was the general who guarded the island?
Several flags suddenly rose inside the walls of Juehua Island, flying in the wind.
Nuer Hachi was happy and thought to himself that as long as he saw the words on the flag, he would know who the general guarding the island was. If he knew who the general guarding the island was, he could come up with conspiracy and tricks to frame him. The bureaucrats of the barbarian court, foreign war laymen, and civil war experts, could use their hands to kill this general. By then, the entire Liaodong will be his racecourse. (To be continued)
