Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters no suspense
With a few howls that were not like human voices, the surviving subway gunners threw away the cannon at the same time and began to turn around and run wildly. The ground that had been soaked in blood became extremely slippery. Many people either slipped to the ground or tripped by corpses on the ground, but they still stumbled and continued to run away.
The scene that just happened was like a nightmare in the hearts of these survivors.
The iron cannons they usually are proud of have no chance to fire. The comrades who were chatting and laughing together yesterday instantly turned into cold corpses, which were something that the living iron cannoners had never seen or heard of.
The Ming army opposite was simply a group of devils in hell. They did not use human weapons at all, but the death talisman of the King of Hell.
The three thousand iron gunners in the back formation, which were about a hundred steps away from the front, were all stunned. Because the order to go up the peak had not been issued yet, the three thousand people were not advancing or retreating for a while. Most of the iron gunners were pale and their eyes were also glanced around, and the morale of the army was obviously very depressed.
The power of Ming munitions has exceeded the perception of everyone in the shogunate army.
First, the shocking artillery directly defeated the two-wing spearmen, and then there was a musket with a very long shooting range, extremely high accuracy and amazing lethality. Under the attack of these two types of firearms, they could only be beaten and could not fight back. How could they fight?
Before the first round of iron gunners ran far, the sharp and sharp horn sound of the Ming army's gun formation sounded again, followed by a continuous burst of explosions, and the smoke rose, and rounds of bullet rains attacked the second iron gunners of the shogunate nearly 300 meters away.
For the Minie gun with a maximum range of nearly 400 meters, the distance of 300 meters is also within the effective killing range. The square array of several iron gunners who stand still is like human targets. The comfortable feeling of firing makes the Ming army's gunmen become more enthusiastic, the formation conversion and bullet change are more smooth, and the shooting speed is significantly faster. Even the originally dull sound of the gun sounds more crisp and pleasant.
"The gunner fired three rounds again and the cavalry rushed forward!
After the cavalry rushed forward, the central army blocked the killing, and the two wings supported him!"
Seeing that the Ming army had achieved absolute advantages in the left, center and right sides, Li Dingguo put down his telescope and ordered calmly.
Because the gun sound was too dense, the sound of horns could no longer penetrate the sound curtain. After obeying the order, a flag bearer raised the triangular red flag in his hand and shook it several times towards the two-wing cannon formations. The other flag bearer held a black square flag high and waved at the cavalry on standby on the right wing rear formation. The cavalry guerrillas who were waiting for excitement roared excitedly, and six hundred neatly-dressed cavalrymen moved their saddles and stools to turn on their horses.
The North Sea Fleet originally had no cavalry organization, and all the soldiers were infantrymen. These 600 cavalrymen were separated from the 1,000 cavalry guarding Zhu Cixuan.
Originally, according to Zhu Cixuan's intention, all these thousand cavalry could be fought, but Zhang Qingyuan insisted on leaving some to protect the prince's safety. Zhu Cixuan could not stand him and finally adopted this compromise strategy.
The two-wing gunners who received the order immediately made the muzzle elevation angle too high and began to bombard the spearmen of the second formation of the shogunate army, who were also unable to move forward. After 600 cavalrymen on the right wing got on the horse, they formed a formation and urged their mounts to jog forward, preparing to lift the horse speed about 300 steps away from the enemy and then rush to kill.
"Zhang Qing, pass on the order and order the remaining horse team to assault from the left wing!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the official army had a comprehensive advantage. Zhu Cixuan, who was watching the formation on the tower car, decisively ordered the four hundred cavalry guarding the surrounding area to join the Dao rushing formation.
Zhang Qingyuan was waiting for dissuasion, but the outcome of the battle situation was very clear. The shogunate army, which had no threat of long-range firepower and no close-range possibility, could no longer pose any threat to its own side. If the remaining cavalry did not allow the remaining cavalry to make contributions at this time, then he would be a good person in vain.
So he hurriedly bowed to the stairs car that the prince had gone down, and gave orders to the guard Qian who was standing on the side. The Qian, who was anxiously scratching his head, immediately received the order and shouted loudly. Four hundred cavalrymen boarded the horses and rushed to the left wing of the official army under the leadership of Qian.
Under the extremely long range of the firearms formation in the middle of the Ming army, the second round of the shogun army, the iron gunners of the shogunate who had no power to fight back, repeated the tragedy of the first round. Fortunately, the already reacted Ichiro Kotoshi decisively issued the order to retreat, and the iron gunners of the second round retreated after losing more than a thousand people.
Before the leaders of the shogunate army could come up with a countermeasure, amid the rumbling cannons, the spearman formation on both wings was once again defeated by the continuous flying projectiles. Due to the lack of understanding of the three-dimensional attacks of the Ming army, Shinhei Ichiro and other shogunate generals seemed to have lost their wits and could not think of a good solution for a while.
In desperation, Songheiichiro, whose face had lost his blood, could only order the entire army to retreat, first leave the Ming army, reorganize the formation, and then arrange how to withdraw from the battlefield.
From the Ming army's launch of shelling the sprey spearmen on both wings of the Shogunate Army, to the extremely sharp muskets in the middle and then to the Ming army launching the second round of offensive, this quarter of an hour was like a nightmare for the Shogunate Army.
But what they didn't expect was that this nightmare had just begun.
Behind the smoke rising from the muskets and projectiles, two iron cavalry equipped with full pairs of iron armor and horse armor, were quickly approaching the shogunate from the left and right wings respectively, under the cover of the rumbling cannon.
From the beginning of fighting with the Ming army to the present, the shogunate army has lost more than 5,000 people without posing any threat to the Ming army, but there are no casualties in the Ming army.
Although the battlefield is open and flat now, it is very difficult for one side to evacuate calmly when the two armies are fighting. The entire army cannot be confused, and there are also many troops to be designated as the backdrop cover. If you are not careful, it will become a great defeat under the pursuit of the other side.
Especially in this situation of a disastrous defeat on one side, it took a lot of time to retreat safely for more than 30,000 shogunate troops.
There were more than 30,000 people, but they were still under the fierce bombardment of the opponent's guns and cannons.
Think about the scene where thousands of students hold sports meetings in a school in the future. Without any interference, it would take a lot of time to enter the venue alone, let alone on the battlefield with tens of thousands of people.
When the two winged cavalry of the Ming army suddenly emerged from the smoke of gunpowder, the great defeat of the shogunate army was no longer stopped. The head general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Ruoeni, even had time to commit suicide by committing suicide by the Ming army's cavalry.
On the third day after the war was over, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cixuan, met with Ikeda Hiromasa and other leaders of the fallen alliance in the tent.
