258. Artillery Tactics(1/2)

The chief general of the Yuan army naturally wanted to come up with a perfect solution to minimize the losses.

But unfortunately, he didn't have that much time.

At this moment, gunfire suddenly sounded on the street not far from the south gate. On the west side, the Yuan army that had detoured past had already begun to fight with the Song army.

The chief general of the Yuan army immediately realized that the army he sent out had launched a charge.

He didn't have any time to hesitate anymore.

Although he did not know whether the Yuan army on the west side could break through the Song army's defense line and rush straight to the Song army's formation, if he hesitated for a while, he might miss the opportunity to fight.

With thousands of soldiers, it is still very likely that they will rush across the Song army’s defense line?

He thought so in his heart.

Although the Song army had extremely strong firearms, their troops were too weak.

"Boom!"

But when this idea came out in his mind, he heard a sudden burst of cannons on the street on the west side of the city gate.

This made him feel sad, and he suddenly felt that his confidence was no longer as sufficient as before.

But, naturally, he still couldn't give up.

No matter how resistance the Song army was, the situation of roundabout attacks had already become. Even if he had to bite the bullet, the Song army would have to launch a charge head-on. Otherwise, the army encircled on both sides would have no meaning.

Because they are the main force that breaks through the Song army formation.

At this moment, the chief general of the Yuan army no longer hesitated and said to a cavalry general on the right: "Send a team of 100 people to launch a charge."

The cavalry general instantly understood his intentions.

The cavalry team was undoubtedly going to thunder. He dismounted and walked backwards, his eyes drooping slightly, thinking about which centurion to send.

This is a mission that has no return, so he naturally would not be willing to send a close centurion under his command.

A few dozen meters behind, he walked to the centenary and said, "You lead the army to charge against the Song army, immediately."

This centurion is a general who is quite unmatched by his centurion.

The centurion is not a fool either. When he hears this order, he stares at him and wants to refute.

However, the commander of the thousand-man said again: "This is the general's order!"

The centurion opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

There was indignation in his eyes, and more so, helplessness.

He had no choice in the army. Even if it was a mission that was bound to die, he could only follow his orders.

If he doesn't go, he will disobey military orders and will end up dead.

His eyes stared at the commander of the thousand men with a faint look. He waved to the soldiers behind him, "Cared with me."

The Yuan cavalry behind them were even more helpless.

They drove their horses and walked forward step by step.

When he arrived in front of the army, the chief general of the Yuan army said indifferently: "Charge ahead, your family, I will give you some good care."

He has already made the words clear.

This is the mission to send you to death.

The centurion said nothing, nodded slightly, slapped his gun on the horse's butt, and shouted: "Kill!"

This shout was filled with resentment.

It’s just a wonder that he is not from this thousand-man faction. It turns out that the general who could protect him has been blown away by the sky thunder.

The cavalry of nearly a hundred yuan rushed forward.

When Zhao Dongting saw this scene in the Song army, he couldn't help but sigh that there were indeed no fools who could be the general in the army.

The Yuan army used cavalry teams to thunder formations, which would undoubtedly greatly weaken the power of the thunder formations.

The horse speed is already fast, and when the army is not attacking, the lethality that landmines can cause is limited.

He also knew that when this group of cavalry was wiped out, the Yuan army would launch a charge.

At this time, on the east side of the city gate, there was also a thunderous explosion coming.

Both sides have begun to confront the Yuan army.

Encirclement tactics.

Zhao Dongting and Qin Han next to him looked at each other, then shouted: "Flying Dragon Army, Musketball Soldiers, ready to fight!"

The soldiers of the Song army were all ready.

The Yuan army occupied the streets in a mighty manner, and the torches were endless. This was a solemn scene.

Anyone can see that the Yuan army has far more troops than our own.

Although they still have a way out, they can retreat from the South City Gate, and there are war horses outside. But will the emperor really retreat here?

The Yuan army's cavalry team passed through the front hundreds of meters in just a few dozen seconds, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

There was a thunder sound.

But Zhao Dongting never ordered the musket soldiers to shoot.

This 100-man team has indeed achieved unexpected results, and has flowed through a nearly three hundred meters of thunder formation, leaving only about six hundred meters away from the Song army formation.

Moreover, even here, they had not been wiped out. The frightened horses were astonishingly fast and continued to rush towards the Song army.

At this time, the Yuan army general finally showed a little success on his face.

He did not expect that the thunder formation of a small group of cavalry against the Song army would achieve such good results.

"kill!"

Suddenly, he raised his hand and waved the spear forward.

The horn soldier next to him quickly blew the horn.

The sound of desolate horns echoed on the main street.

On the left and right sides of the Yuan army's chief general, the infantrymen shouted loudly and rushed towards the Song army formation.

Some people think that the shouts before the two armies fight are to shock the other party, but they are not. This shout is to give themselves courage, because if they rush up, they may never come back.

The decisive battle is coming.

Zhao Dongting's eyes became solemn, his eyes were staring at the Yuan army rushing forward, estimating their approximate distance.

The mines are still exploding.

The cavalry team in front had been killed and injured, but in just a few dozen seconds, the Yuan cavalry behind had already surged like a tide.

Six hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

The thunder formation is about to pass.

Zhao Dongting finally shouted suddenly: "Fire the cannon!"

There was also a sound of horns in the Song army immediately. They attacked the city with light clothes and did not bring heavy cowhide drums.

When beating a drum, it is usually only used when the two armies set up a formation to confront each other. The Song army's sneak attack and attacking the city is obviously not considered a battle to fight a formation.

The sound of cannons.

The shells broke out from the gun barrel of the grenade launcher and poured towards the charging Yuan cavalry.

There was no longer a shout of killing, and the sound of shell explosion covered all the sounds on the street.

Four hundred grenade cannons were arranged in ten rows, firing one by one.

The entire street was covered with artillery fire.

The Yuan army was killed and injured countless cavalry rushing in front, but in the end, some people rushed past the coverage of the shells.

Zhao Dongting raised his hand and said, "Milt gun soldiers are ready!"

He could not let these Yuan cavalry rushed to the front, because if the two armies confronted each other, they would not be able to stop the cavalry's rushing.

Fortunately, the Yuan cavalry's rushing was blocked by the shells covering the entire street. Only a few people rushed out.

When they were about three hundred meters away from the Song army formation, Zhao Dongting shouted again: "Fight!"

The musketeers in the front row immediately opened fire.

The 3,500 musket soldiers were divided into seven square formations, and Zhao Dongting tried his best to line up the musket soldiers. He had already stood at the entire city gate.

There were about a hundred people in each row, and they also shot at the Yuan cavalry in an interlaced manner.

By this time, the battle has undoubtedly entered a white-hot stage.

The Yuan army attacked the Song army's army with their lives, while the Song army used artillery shells and Shenlong guns to block the Yuan army's rush.

If you win and lose, it depends on whether the Yuan army can rely on the advantage of numbers to break through the Song army's musket formation.
