302, Zhu Cilian's artillery bombing, the Junggar suffered a heavy setback
It is naturally impossible for the Junggars to hide such a large-scale abnormal movement from the Ming army.
As soon as ten thousand Junggar cavalry were dispatched, the Ming army scout immediately reported to Zhu Cixuan.
After Zhu Cixuan received the report, he immediately took out his telescope.
This was something Zhu Cilang sent someone to get from a Spanish businessman when he was staying in the capital last year, and it was of great value.
He had thought about finding the system, but the system ignored him.
On this battlefield with very wide terrain, telescopes are undoubtedly a magical tool for observing the battle situation.
Sure enough, Zhu Cilang immediately saw two rolling smoke and dust rushing towards him, or to a more accurate statement, he was rushing towards where Zhu Cilang was.
"Beheading tactic?" Zhu Ciyang couldn't help laughing: "This Baturhuitaiji is really interesting."
Fang Gonggan looked hurried and came to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, the British Duke asks for instructions, do you need him to lead the left wing back to defense?"
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "There is no need for this for the time being. Just send someone to tell the Duke of England and let him deal with the enemy in front of him well. By the way, Li Dingguo also sent people there to avoid wasting time when he was going back and forth."
Fang Gonggan was a little anxious: "Your Highness, according to the British Duke, this time the Junggar cavalry was obviously coming for you."
Zhu Cilang didn't care and said, "Of course I know that they came for me."
Fang Gonggan was stunned.
Suddenly, Fang Gonggan had an idea and shouted: "Do you want to use those cannons to deal with the Junggar people?"
Zhu Cilang laughed: "Smart. Go, hurry up and carry all the cannons from my palace!"
On the left wing of the Ming army, the British Duke was stunned for a moment after learning about Zhu Cilang's reply.
"Your Highness doesn't need support?"
The British public is in chaos.
He knew very well that Zhu Cixuan was surrounded by only one thousand musketeers and three thousand Qinghai guards.
When facing the Junggar cavalry with muskets, the Qinghai Guard cavalry, which had cold weapons in their hands, was useless.
Doesn’t this mean that Zhu Cixuan plans to use one thousand musketeers to resist the 10,000 Junggar cavalry that came?
Going crazy!
The British Duke calmed down, glanced at the generals around him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is reducing the pressure for us. He must have a way to delay the Junggar cavalry. We cannot miss the opportunity given to us by the highness, and immediately press on them all, and strive to defeat the enemies in front of us as quickly as possible!"
Although the Ming army was indeed inferior to the Junggars in terms of number, the two sides were actually equal in combat effectiveness.
Batur Huitaiji suddenly dispatched 10,000 cavalry to launch a surprise attack, which inevitably led to a much weakening of the frontal strength of the Junggars.
This is a gamble.
Baturhui Taiji bet that 10,000 Junggar cavalry could be successfully encircled before the frontal defeat. Even if they could not kill Zhu Cixuan, the main general, could easily encircle and annihilate the Ming army's middle road and win.
On the other hand, if these 10,000 Junggar cavalry cannot make achievements or even be defeated, the frontal troops of Junggar, which are already at a disadvantage in strength, will undoubtedly be defeated.
Baturhui Taiji is full of confidence and determines that his winning rate is at least 80%!
Looking at the two Junggar cavalry gradually approaching, Zhu Cilang smiled.
"Where is the cannon? I'll blow it up for me!"
When Zhu Cixuan said this, he stood next to one of the cannons.
Don’t forget that Zhu Cilang is a serious S-class gunner!
Ten red cannons lined up and aimed at the Junggar army that were attacking from the left and right directions.
With Zhu Cixuan's order, ten red cannons that had passed by him to train the direction were immediately fired.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sound of the cannon is deafening and is much more powerful than a musket.
The cannon body vibrated significantly, and then a huge solid shell flew out directly and headed towards the charge of the Junggar cavalry.
Under Zhu Cixuan's gaze, ten shells fell one after another.
The Junggars rushed through the narrow gap between the middle and left and right routes of the Ming army, which made their formation quite dense.
This dense formation is most suitable for cannon power.
After the shells fell, many Junggar cavalry in front were killed by the shells. Even if they were slightly rubbed, they were overturned and dropped on the spot, with broken bones and broken tendons.
The Junggars obviously did not expect this, and their formation was suddenly a little confused.
Zhu Cilang had a blank expression on his face: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Keep loading and firing the fire, and use your fastest time!"
An old gunner couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, if the ammunition is loaded too quickly, it will affect the life of the cannon."
Zhu Cilang was speechless: "It's this time, what else do you care about the lifespan of the cannon? Quickly, wear hard, and hit hard!"
Zhu Cilang was not idle either. Just as the artillery soldiers were busy loading, he continued to adjust the shooting parameters.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Round after round of artillery shells fell, and each time they fell, they could harvest the lives of at least hundreds of Junggar cavalry. While making the Junggar cavalry overturned, they also greatly slowed down the speed of Junggars' advancement.
Not only that, when the Junggar cavalry entered the range, the thousand musketeers guarding Zhu Cixuan also began to show their power.
"Bang bang bang!"
If you can obtain the qualification to protect His Royal Highness, you don’t have to think about how elite these thousand musketeers are. They can all be called sharpshooters in the army.
The muskets and artillery shells formed a perfect cooperation. The shells were responsible for waves of large-scale sweeps, while the musketeers were responsible for precise harvesting of the Junggar cavalry who escaped the bombardment of the cannons.
Fang Gongqian stood nervously beside Zhu Cixuan with a spear in his hand. Looking at this scene, he was shocked.
"In war... can you fight like this?"
Fang Gongqian's eyes fell on Zhu Cilang, and his heart was full of respect.
Zhu Cixuan didn't notice this because his whole mind was already concentrated on the battlefield in front of him.
Although there have been many wars in the past two years, Zhu Cixuan rarely faces the frontline of the battlefield so much, and he always takes charge of the command in the rear.
This life-and-death, this smoke filled the sky, this murderous sound shook the sky, this bloody feeling...
It's so cool!
The young man's passion burst out at this moment, as if something was roaring in his heart, wanting to prove something to the whole world.
Zhu Cixuan took a deep breath, raised his right hand high, and then fell down hard: "Fire the fire!"
"Fire the gun!!!" all the gunners roared in unison.
"Boom boom boom!"
The shells fell again, and the Junggar cavalry remained as always.
But this time, the situation is different.
Many Junggar cavalry stopped their horses and then began to evacuate.
"escape!"
"Can't attack in, retreat!"
"Escape quickly, we will die later!"
The faster the Junggars come, the faster they retreat.
In just a short moment, all the Junggar cavalry ran away cleanly.
Of course it is not particularly clean, because there are still many corpses on the ground, hundreds of corpses.
Some war horses were unwilling to leave and kept wailing around their master's corpse.
Zhu Cilang also breathed a sigh of relief when he watched this scene.
"Take it!" Zhu Cixuan waved his hand hard, as if venting the excitement in his heart.
Fang Gonggan even jumped three feet high and screamed.
"The Ming Dynasty won, and the Ming Dynasty can always win!"
Around the two, countless Ming soldiers smiled and cheered.
The surprise attack of the Junggars was completely defeated!
Chapter completed!
