Chapter 239 The gap has widened again

Bang! The shell of the Fran machine cannon hit a car, and a round hole was punched out on the wooden board, and wood chips flew everywhere. A Jiannu behind the car covered his face and screamed, and blood flowed out of his fingers.

In order to facilitate ship transportation and infantry maneuvers, the artillery carried by the Ming army was basically light. The Fran aircraft was more than 200 kilograms and the solid shells were four or five kilograms, which was not too powerful.

In fact, as for wooden carts, heavy muskets also have destructive effects. However, the effect is weaker than the Fran cannon.

Jiannu's car was constantly hit, with more damage and less destroyed. But this was not all the means of the Ming army. They had other ways to deal with car.

More than a dozen simple grenade vehicles were erected behind the chariot, and dozens of small cans of tiny oil had been put into the pouch. When the chariot approached, they began to ignite and fire.

The turbulent oil tank may be smashed on the ground, and a ball of fire rose up on the ground, burning wildly.

After repeated deductions, the Ming army was quite well prepared. Although the ammunition and medicine carried by small boats were limited, it was still more than enough to deal with one or two attacks.

As the fire rose, the car quickly turned into a train. Not to mention pushing it, it was difficult to get close to it. Not only the car, but also many Jiannu, with fireworks emitting inhuman thundering and rolling.

Another round of grenade car was ejected, with more fire heads, bigger fires and thicker smoke. A fireworks blockade line was almost formed at the forefront of more than 60 meters in front of the Ming army.

Faced with this sudden blockade, Jiannu's offensive had to pause. All they could do seemed to be waiting for the fire to burn out or dig the ground to extinguish it.

The pressure in the middle dropped sharply, and the Han soldiers on both wings were subjected to fierce counterattack.

Boom, boom? Boom...

The frost sprayed from the Fran machine cannon... bounced into a fan and shot towards the enemy? It was simply irresistible. The Han army's bird gun was hit head-on before it showed its power.

Chen Sanhe fell to the ground? He luckily avoided the lead bullet pouring like raindrops. He dared not get up? His ears were full of screams and wailing, his eyes were bloody bodies lying on the ground? And the painful struggle of the injured undead.

The shield has some effect, but its protection ability is still insufficient. The equipment of the Han soldiers is also worse than that of the Jurchens. This also causes them to suffer the greatest damage when facing Ming munitions.

Moreover, there is another threat to be taken into account when taking on flank attacks, that is, the Ming army who came by boat.

Obviously? Yue Tuo expected this unfavorable factor and handed over this task to the Han soldiers.

At this time, the Ming army's ships had set sail again, carrying musketeers into two parts, and quickly paddled towards the opposite shore.

Zhang Pan issued an order, and the Ming army on both wings pushed the cannon carts forward? Hundreds of soldiers advanced forward in rotational shooting formations, launching more violent attacks on the Han soldiers.

If you just passively defend? It is not good for the Ming army, which has not had superior strength. In the attack on three sides, the Han soldiers on both sides are weak, so they can be defeated first? Then concentrate their efforts against Jiannu.

The most shocking thing is the artillery in front? The black hole gun pointing at it? It seems that it can spray out dazzling flames at any time and shoot out dense and deadly lead bombs.

Under the command of the officers, the Han soldiers barely arranged the array again and fought back with bird guns.

However, the formation that had just been rectified collapsed and collapsed under the several bombardment of the Fran machine cannon. Under the advance of the Ming soldiers' musket wheels, they continued to retreat.

The roar of gunfire sounded in the river, and the Ming army who was taking a boat flew along the nearshore one by one, shooting rounds of lead bullets at the Han army.

The attacks on both sides finally put the Han soldiers on the verge of collapse, and only the hard-core officers were still shouting and resisting.

The artillery quickly changed the sub-guns, adjusted the gun mouth, and bombed the Han soldiers. Hundreds of sludge... bullets swept across like the sickle of the god of death, killing and injuring the Han soldiers.

"Run, kill!"

Accompanied by the sharp whistle, the officer's roar sounded, and the Ming soldiers inserted their bayonets, shouted in unison, and rushed forward.

The ships in the river also turned around, paddled towards the shore, and plunged into the shallows. The soldiers jumped off the ship, stepped on the river water, rushed to the river bank, and together with friendly troops, stabbed the Han army hard on the back of the Han army.

The two units of the Ming army combined, and the troops were not large. However, only a few hundred people had the momentum of thousands, and they chased the Han army, which was more than the number of them, and fled in a panic.

Ma Guangyuan wanted to stop the defeat, waved his bloody sword and slashed several deserters frantically, but these were all in vain.

After a non-obvious gunshot, he seemed to have been knocked on a stick, his movements stopped, shaking, and fell down dejectedly.

The defeated soldiers hurriedly ran past the side without taking a look. Only a few personal soldiers gathered around and called.

Ma Guangyuan stared at his eyes wide, with blood foam in his mouth, and he could no longer speak. He could not tell others that he was hit by a bird gun from behind.

The personal soldiers carried Ma Guangyuan's body and joined the fleeing. The defeat of the left-wing Han army was like a surging river and unstoppable.

The Ming soldiers chased and killed wildly, and there was no easier job on the battlefield than killing chickens and sheep. The defeated soldiers were like a group of panicked ducks, not even daring to turn around, leaving only a desperate escape.

Puff! The muffled sound of the bayonet entering the flesh was a bit creepy, but Zhang Xiaoxi didn't even blink.

The power was not the greatest. With the strength of his hand and wrist, he had already pulled out the bayonet and stepped forward to chase him without even looking at the falling corpse.

Behind him are comrades-in-arms and his subordinates. A few years ago, the new recruit Danzi has become an officer and led more than 100 soldiers.

"My surname is also Zhang!" Zhang Xiaoxi already knew why Feng Datie asked him like this. Now, he could say this with his head held high and his chest held high, which is not a shame to the surname of the senior who was brave enough to climb the city.

Growth means maturity of thoughts, and also means ruthlessness of the mind. The same Liao people are enemies of life and death. They will not have any mercy or slightest mercy.

The exercise of mind is not just killing, but the biggest impact is the robes around you.

Over the past few years, many comrades have been injured or killed, their names, their voices, appearances, and appearances have been left in Zhang Xiaoxi's mind and will never be forgotten.

It is precisely this kind of nostalgia that brings deeper hatred and a fiercer desire to avenge. No matter who dares to raise his swords and guns to him and his robes, they will never forgive.

The kind of officers there are, the kind of soldiers there are. Zhang Xiaoxi's subordinates are like him. It may be driven by his performance, or it may be simple hatred or the pleasure of killing and revenge.

The fierce and ruthless pursuit was not until the call of withdrawal sounded, and the Ming soldiers were unwilling to stop and turned back to their original formation.

The left-wing Han army was defeated, and the right-wing Han army was still resisting stubbornly under the command of Tong Yangxing. However, under the attack of firepower on both sides, it was only a matter of time before the failure was achieved.

At this time, Tong Yangxing truly realized that he had equipped the Han soldiers with muskets and carried out loading and queue training, which was just the first step toward the army's firearming. There was still a lot he had to learn!

Unfortunately, Tong Yangxing knew better in his heart, and he probably didn't have much time to make progress.

Whether it is resources, manpower, or support from the upper level of the Later Jin Dynasty, it is impossible for him to improve the experience he has learned.

The formation of a tactical style is not something that can happen overnight.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, firearms were equipped in the army from the time of its founding. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, it was still immature and was beaten to pieces by Jiannu, who was mainly cold weapons.

The military reform promoted by Zhu Youxiao has a foundation and is gradually improved.

Over the past few years, the Ming army has gone from shrinking defense to chariots and cannons first, and then to infantry using flintlock rifles and bayonets as the main combat methods. Officers and generals at all levels, and even soldiers, have been constantly exploring and making progress.

When the Later Jin Dynasty used Han soldiers and prepared firearms, the idea was correct, at least in terms of concepts.

However, whether it is weapons and equipment, personnel quality, and combat style, it is difficult to compete with the Ming army in a short period of time.

After this battle, Tong Yangxing learned a lot, but the failure was inevitable. The reason why he still insisted was because Yue Tuo's troops in the middle lane had not given up.

But the defeat of the left-wing Han soldiers had already changed the situation of the war, which Yue Tuo did not expect.

After defeating the enemy attacked by the left wing, the Ming army did not withdraw the "Qiyue Formation" that continued to maintain the arc. After quickly reorganizing the queue, the Ming army expanded the line array and rolled over to Jiannu in the middle.

By making such tactical maneuvers, Jiannu in the middle lane was under firepower from both sides, making the battle even more unfavorable.

The turbulent tank almost destroyed all the chariots, and Jiannu had not yet retreated. After the fire became smaller, he took heavy armored soldiers and large shields as the first, and continued to attack the Ming army's battle formation.

The familiar roar sounded again, and the Ming army artillery on the south bank showed its power again. More than one hundred shells were arcing in the air, passing through the river, flying over the Ming army's battle formation, and smashing it down.

The explosions one after another brought out thick smoke, almost completely blocking Yue Tuo and others' vision.

Yue Tuo's face was so gloomy that water could drip. Although he couldn't see clearly, he also knew that the attacking troops suffered considerable casualties.

The explosion gradually became sparse, and the smoke could not dissipate immediately. Immediately afterwards, the roaring cannon sounded again. Judging from the sound, it was the Ming army's battle formation that was firing cannons.

The attacking forward approached the enemy and suffered a fierce counterattack. After the artillery bombardment, it should be the fire of the muskets.

Yue Tuo was able to guess the Ming army's playing style, and the long-range bombardment played a role in killing and blocking. Not only were there not too many Jurchen warriors who could rush to the Ming army's battle formation, but they also lacked the potential to continue attacking.

This is different from fighting with the Ming army in southern Liaoning. Without artillery support, it is impossible to eat more than a thousand Ming troops who suddenly advanced, and can it succeed now?

The Ming army's weapons became more powerful and their combat power increased again. However, the army seemed to be the same, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, which was shocking. Yue Tuo's heart sank and his hand slowly raised.

As he had guessed, Jiannu's heavy armored soldiers rushed to the front of the formation and were immediately bombarded by Fran's machine cannons at a distance of more than fifty meters.

After quickly changing the sub-gun, more than a dozen Franchise machines sprayed out rain-drilling sorp... bullets, beating hundreds of Jiannu who rushed over.

In order to deal with Jiannu's heavy armored infantry, the frost and bullet gun carried by the Fran machine cannon were loaded with large lead bullets of heavy muskets.

The number of lead bullets sprayed by the artillery was smaller, but its power increased. When firing the cannon, it was like a dozen heavy muskets firing in a salvo.

Even if the heavy lead bullet cannot penetrate the heavy armor, the huge impact force will be transmitted to Jiannu, causing them to get injured in their internal organs and vomit blood foam.

More scenes are bloody and violent, with the head beaten into a rotten watermelon, and the arms or legs are knocked away and blood is gushed away.

No matter how brave, how skilled, how skilled, or how successful Jiannu is, he cannot withstand a cheap lead bullet. This is the power of technology, and the progress of the times, and the bloody lesson brought to Jiannu.

Times have changed, and Zhu Youxiao is too lazy to talk about it anymore. But Jiannu never understood the true meaning of the so-called different eras.

The car was covering the approaching, the heavy armored soldiers fought melee and fought with each other, and the riding and shooting chased and killed the defeated enemy. Jiannu only used these three axes and had been using them for decades.

Besides, not to mention that in just a few years and hundreds of years, the Later Jin Dynasty became the Qing Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains. They still do not understand the simple five words "The times are different".

It was not until the dream was broken by the strong ships and cannons of Western colonists and their backbone was broken, that they might not realize that they had been abandoned by the times.

Yue Tuo's feelings were only a short time before he issued the order to retreat. This was a wise and helpless choice.

If it weren't for the Battle of South Liao, Yue Tuo could not have felt deeply that the gap in combat power between the two sides had widened again; the same is true now, even if he failed to wipe out more than a thousand isolated Ming troops at the beginning.

Luo Xiujin secretly let out a long breath and felt relieved by Yue Tuo's decision. At this time, he retreated and lost only more than 2,000 attacking troops; if he continued to entangle, he would probably end with heavy casualties and injuries.

The order was issued, but it was still a little late. After the Ming army bombarded, the musketeers came forward, and at the most lethal distance, they gave Jiannu a head-on blow.

Heavy armor does have certain protection against muskets, but it also depends on the distance; the same is true for muskets. The closer they are, the faster the lead bullet is, and the greater the power.

The distance between thirty or forty meters is within the best shooting range of the flintlock rifle. The hit rate is high and the power is enough to break the armor and kill the enemy.

The Ming army, who had turned around on the flank, also approached the central battlefield, and used line arrays and volleys of muskets to add another weight to the balance of victory.

The fire of the shooting flickered, and bursts of white smoke rose and filled the air. The hot lead bullets chased the retreating enemies, knocking them to the point of blood and screaming.

Another group of Ming troops came on a boat and successfully landed. The comparison of troops between the enemy and us has brought it closer, although it has little impact on the victory or defeat of the battle.

While Yue Tuo issued a retreat order, Tong Yangxing was as if he was amnesty and also issued an order to withdraw his troops. However, the Ming army was steady and cautious in chasing Jiannu, but for the Han soldiers, they were fierce tigers.

"Crash, kill!" The shouts were excited and excited. The fierce counterattack of the Ming army caused the Han soldiers to retreat from retreat to retreat, and finally turned into retreat and could no longer be dealt with.
