Chapter 1530
"Fifth brother, look at Tatar, he is really fierce."
Qian Yue's eyes were exposed, watching the yellow dust rolling in, overwhelming the mountains The Tatar cavalry that came, could not help but smile at Zheng Wudao.
Zheng Wu shouted the head: "I think it's Se Li Neijen."
Qian Yue laughed and looked up: "I don't know where the lord is now."
Zheng Wu had no expression on his face. Seeing that the Tatar cavalry had entered within 800 paces, he looked at the head and said, "Tatar is here."
He nodded slightly to the herald next to him.
The heralds dispersed immediately, the flags were waved, and shouted repeatedly: "The captain has an order, the artillery formation is ready!"
More than ten thousand warhorse trampled the ground, and a breath Three to five feet, the ground shook violently, and the artillery array seemed to be placed on a huge machine that was vibrating endlessly.
Small cannons have the advantages of small cannons, light and maneuverable. However, in addition to being portable, it is difficult to ensure accuracy in this situation.
But it doesn't matter, the eyes are full of enemy troops, and they will never hit the sky.
Eight hundred steps!
The flag is waved down, the fire is lit, and the sound of chi chi's gunpowder burning is connected.
"Fire!"
The sound of thunderous cannons was deafening, a large cloud of smoke rose, and thousands of cannons pulled long white waves with flames in the air, crushing them with a bang. Enter the Tatar Ride!
A Baja white armored soldier waved his mace and roared furiously, and stopped abruptly. A cannonball swept past, half of its body flew up, one, two, killed seven or eight people before landing, and bounced up again, killing and injuring three or four warhorse, before rolling down the dust and standing still.
Tatar has a tactic against artillery, and in the course of many years of engagement with the Ming Army, Tatar's cavalry has a corresponding countermeasure, that is, loose formation.
This round of artillery bombardment shattered Tatar's illusion-they had always charged in a group, and they would only disperse within five hundred steps. Because the Ming Army's artillery not only loses its accuracy after exceeding this distance, but also plummets in formidable power, it is difficult to pose a threat at a distance of 500 paces.
One step is five feet, five hundred steps is 2,000 five hundred feet, two hundred,500 feet, about seven hundred and fifty meters. This is a very long distance. At least for this era, the formidable power of artillery beyond this distance is difficult to guarantee.
A giant cannon such as a red-clothed cannon can even hit several li nearly ten miles away, but with no accuracy at all.
The lethality of artillery is used in medium-range defense or offensive battles. Generally speaking, field combat is rarely used. Because once the two sides engage in a head-to-head battle, the distance of several hundred steps will be over in the blink of an eye.
But Ying Yi's tiger squat gun opened Tatar's eyes.
The 800-step salvo was able to guarantee a certain range of accuracy. With a thousand guns, this round of salvos completely penetrated the dense cavalry formation, and the casualties were at least more than Three thousand!
This is unprecedented.
The guns of this era have the greatest ability to deter.
But Ying Yi has a lot of guns.
A colonel has 12,000 people and is equipped with more than 500 tiger squat guns. Any one department has the heavy firepower of more than 100 new tiger squat guns.
This lightweight new tiger squat gun not only has quite powerful performance, but is also extremely convenient to manufacture.
This is the first large-scale cluster shelling since the birth of the new tiger squat gun.
Even when he faced Hou Xun's 70,000 Baoding soldiers, he never used so many artillery pieces.
The guns were fired in the first round. The gunners were extremely skilled in brushing the barrels and filling the guns. In less than ten breaths, the second round shelling came again!
The performance of the new tiger squat gun is evident - the process of cooling the barrel is omitted - the gold alloy has a strong endurance.
The old-fashioned artillery, after firing a round of guns, cleans the gun barrel and cools the barrel at the same time. The material of manufacture is not good enough, and once the barrel overheats, it will explode. Therefore, a gunner is a high-risk occupation with the head hanging on the waist.
But in Ying Yi, this procedure is omitted directly.
Ten breaths, ten seconds, is a round of shelling. By the time the Tatar cavalry entered three hundred paces, forcibly suffered three rounds of shelling.
Thirty seconds, five hundred steps. The speed with which the cavalry rushed into the formation was evident.
However, the damage caused by the three rounds of shelling to this Tatar cavalry could not be smoothed out. The first round of shelling killed at least 3,000 cavalry, and then Tatar reacted in horror and dispersed immediately. The subsequent two rounds of shelling may only have caused a total of seven or eight hundred casualties.
But even so, the nearly 15,000 Tatar cavalry had become much sparser within three hundred steps.
At this time, Zheng Wuling's flag was waved again.
The long spear soldiers armed to the teeth stepped forward with their guns, and the gunmen followed, covering the artillery formation. The long spear soldiers quickly formed a formation, the tail of the gun was deeply inserted into the soil, the head of the gun pointed obliquely forward, the soldier's armpit clipped the gun body, the whole person was attached to the gun barrel, and his feet were firmly on the ground, waiting for the imminent impact.
Two hundred steps.
The guns are in full force!
Three-eyed guns cast from Jinyuan alloy, the effective distance is within 200 steps. The speed of Tatar's charge is now at its maximum, and he can take a thirteen-fourteen step with one breath.
peng peng peng! ! !
Two captains, currently seven divisions, each with a full battalion of gunners, seven hundred and fifty. There are 5,000 two hundred and fifty gunners in seven. More than 5,000 guns were hidden behind the gun array, row after row, in the form of three-stage shots, shooting countless guns in a row.
Like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, all of a sudden, the Tatar cavalry fell in pieces.
Fall down a piece of Tatar, reveal the back piece, fall down again, and reveal the back piece.
Abatai is in a cold sweat!
"Impossible! What firearm has such formidable power! Impossible!"
He roared in his heart, frightened, and even wanted to run away!
The personal soldiers around him fell in batches. In order to cover him, they were all split up and in pieces by cannons and guns, causing heavy casualties. On the left and right, rows of skilled riders fell, and the usual invincible cavalry, like bean curd, were powerless.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
He roared unconsciously, summoning the last bit of courage, it's close, it's close!
"Kill!"
With a bang, the scattered cavalry collided with the spear formation armed to the teeth. The incomparably sharp and sturdy gold-dollar alloy long spear supported the impact of the cavalry, and in an instant, people turned on their backs!
The sound of the sharp spear tip piercing the flesh made a puffing sound. The ferocious faces on both sides were clearly seen by the other at this moment.
clang dong clang dong clang dong metal clashing sound, mace, throwing axe, chain hammer, long spear, broadsword, blade light and sword shadows, rolled up bloody sky!
The full body armor cast by Jinyuan alloy, in this brief moment, shows its incomparably superior performance.
The spearmen only need to pay attention to the weapons that attack the eyes, just mechanized firing and closing!
A handful of blood was sprinkled, and suddenly, a river of flesh and blood was formed along the gun formation!
At this time, the gun formation behind the spear formation is showing its power again!
This time it was no longer a salvo, but a free attack. The gunmen hid behind the spearmen, shot one after another gun from the gap, and shot over the hideous Tatars!
Zheng Wu had a smile on his face, shouted: "The cavalry attack, give Tatar the last blow!"
The cavalry, who were free on both wings, finally stepped onto the stage.
