The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 518

Obai looked back again.

Suddenly, a look of ecstasy flashed across his face.

In the distance, a large number of mules appeared one after another.

Hundreds of Han troops pushing ten Hongyi cannons slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

At this time, the Ming army surrounded by them didn't know or see it.

"It turns out that the master has already prepared it." The servants under him flattered one after another.

"With this Hongyi cannon, the Ming army's chariot formation is absolutely useless."

"The Ming army is doomed now."

Aobai said proudly: "Ming people think they are the only ones who know how to use cannons? Hmph, I can use them too."

Isn't Ding Yi the best at using tricks?You didn't expect that Lao Tzu also hid a cannon in the back.

He drove out the sentry cavalry of the Ming army with more than 1 cavalry in front, so that the Ming army would not see him push the cannon here, just to catch Ding Yi by surprise with the artillery.

The Ming army thought he would use [-] riders to storm the chariot formation. It was just a joke. I am not an idiot if I have guns.

Even the generals around him didn't expect that Oboi didn't intend to go back to defend the city at all, and directly pushed the Hongyi cannons defending the city over.

While they were talking, a horseman from the Han army ran towards us from behind.

It was Fu Hengzhi, the artillery general of the Han Army.

This man is the artillery general that Kong Youde brought over.

Quickly arrived in front of Oboi and paid homage to him first.

"Look, the Ming army is there?" Aobai pointed to the Ming army.

Fu Hengzhi glanced at it: "Yes, I can move the artillery forward another 50 meters and we can hit it."

"If you fight among them, you must fight among them." Aobai said in a deep voice, "My cavalry will charge up at the same time."

"Don't take a taxi?" someone under his command exclaimed.

"What kind of chariot to hit, just turn the cart over, hit the middle, the Ming people's cannons and blunderbuss are in the middle." Aobai said with a stare, and the Ming people's commander must also be in the middle.

"Shoot in the middle." Fu Hengzhi nodded: "If you want to stop the artillery, then wave the flag."

"Hmph." Obai remained calm, sneered inwardly, stopped the cannon, I bombarded the Mongols together.

As long as they can win, the death of [-] of these [-] Mongols is nothing.

Fu Hengzhi went back immediately, waving while running.

The artillerymen of the Han army continued to move forward.

Ding Yi had already reached a high place, but he still couldn't see the artillery of the Qing soldiers in the distance.

He vaguely guessed that there might be artillery hidden by the Qing soldiers nearby, and if they couldn't see it at such a distance, it must be the Hongyi cannon with the longest range.

During the Battle of Dalinghe, Huang Taiji had ambushed the artillery ahead of time, catching the Ming army by surprise.

His soldiers and horses are also most afraid of being ambushed by artillery like this, especially when the opponent's range may be farther than him.

He looked back at the distant shoreline.

This side is not far from the Yalu River, and they met Qing soldiers not long after crossing the bridge.

"Send a signal flare." Ding Yi said in a deep voice.

"Hoo" "Hoo" several signal bombs shot up into the sky.

After a while, several signal flares rose into the sky from the far south.

Aobai didn't know what Ding Yi had posted, he turned his head and saw that Fu Hengzhi's men had already come running over on horseback, waving flags at him while running.

Aobai grinned grimly: "Raise the red flag."

Immediately, someone nearby raised a particularly high red flag and waved it violently in the air.

Then, woo, the horn of attack sounded at the same time.

"Come on." Fuhato swung his knife and shouted.

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, charge for me." Alihe shouted.

Duo Min didn't hesitate, and waved his knife: "There is no retreat, whoever retreats, cuts the other, charge."

Booming, the east, west, east and west sides of Qingqi launched an attack at the same time.

Thousands of cavalry rushed towards the Ming army formation like a torrent.

The artillery of the Ming army began to prepare one after another and set it up to a high place.

Ding Yi chose this high place because he could mount a cannon, otherwise it would be difficult to shoot out on flat ground with a cart in front blocking the shooting angle.

Still, they had a lot of guns that couldn't find the right angles.

Some Ming soldiers lifted some of the unoccupied carts and trunks to get out of the way, and some were directly placed between two cars.

Their carriages and wheels were combined in two, and the four of them lifted them down as soon as they were lifted.

Then lay the carriage flat on the ground to form a barrier.

Just when they had all the artillery ready, the Qing soldiers had entered within 800 meters, and the speed of the cavalry was getting faster and faster.

"Ready." An artillery officer shouted.

Getting ready to call fire.

During the charge, Oboi in the distance gave an order, and some Qing soldiers waved yellow flags.

"Boom" sounded from a distance.

Holding the grass, Ding Yi quickly turned his head, only to see a huge cannonball coming through the air, flying over at least two miles away.

"Nunniang, the Tartars have hidden cannons." All the generals cursed.

Before the Ming army fired, the Qing soldiers fired a cannon. It was a Hongyi cannon, which was two miles away. It flew over with a whoosh, and the first shot hit the front row of the Ming army.

Kacha, that cart shattered in an instant. It contained a lot of food and the spare Lumi guns were also shattered in an instant.

After the shell shattered the cart, it jumped into the formation of the Ming army behind.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The cannonball jumped again, and finally hit a mule and horse with a thud, knocking the mule and horse to the ground heavily, and stopped now.

After "boom boom boom", more shells flew over from the golden formation.

"Don't panic, the 24-pound and 12-pound guns hit the Qing artillery formation." The artillery commanders shouted.

Ten 10-pounders and six 12-pounders quickly turned around and turned north.

The chief executives, chief executives, and chief executives of each bureau are talking one after another.

Don't panic, the hit rate of shells is low, don't panic.

The formation cannot be chaotic, and everyone cannot be chaotic.

If there is no order, even if you are beaten to death, you can't mess up.

Boom, boom, boom, the cannons of the Ming army also rang, and they shot at the Qing cavalry one after another.

Then, swish, swish, several shells flew into the formation of the Ming army.

Fu Hengzhi didn't bring many Hongyi cannons this time, only ten.

The Qing army was also in a hurry to set up artillery positions. Some of them missed the Ming army and missed, some were far away, and some were close.

In this wave, four shells landed in the formation of the Ming army.

A cannon hit the car, and there was a 6-pound gun in the car that was scattered before it could be taken out.

The other three cannonballs hit the Ming army formation, and there was another scream.

Most of the soldiers and horses that Ding Yi brought this time were former Dongjiang soldiers, and a small part were Lushun soldiers.

The shelling puts a lot of pressure on everyone, but fortunately they usually train strictly.

In fact, this cannonball came far away, as long as you look up, there is still a chance to run ahead of time.

But Ding Yi's army is not allowed to run around, everyone has their own positions, if allowed to run around, there will definitely be chaos on the scene, like a frying pan.

That's easy to break down.

The officers kept reminding everyone that we have more artillery, so don't panic, don't panic.

Bang, bang, bang, the Ming army's cannons fired fiercely, and the Qing cavalry charging on the opposite side fell to the ground one after another, falling in pieces.

Seeing so many cannons in their home, many people quickly settled down.

The Qing soldiers fired seven or eight artillery pieces at a time, and a small part of them were not accurate, or could not hit the middle.

In terms of the artillery quality of this era, Ding Yi's artillery has gone through seven or eight years of training, and it is definitely No. 1.

He immediately ordered: "Tell the artillery battalion that within a quarter of an hour, I will destroy the artillery formation of the Qing soldiers."

The Hongyi Cannon fires slowly, about three to four rounds in a quarter of an hour.

Considering that the artillery of the Qing army is more powerful than that of the Ming army, it is estimated that they can fight four rounds.

Ding Yi can only let them fight for four rounds. If they are under such bombardment for a long time, no matter how disciplined the troops are, they will easily collapse.

This is how the Sichuan Army was defeated in the Hunhe War.

So he wants to suppress the artillery formation of the Qing soldiers as soon as possible.

After this round of topping passed, the artillery of the Qing soldiers fell silent for a while.

And the cavalry on all sides of them had rushed within 500 meters.

Aobai hadn't accelerated yet, he needed another round of artillery for the Ming army.

The cavalry on the other three routes were all accelerating, rushing forward frantically.

"Boom" Suddenly, the artillery in the Ming army also sounded.

Aobai looked in disbelief, how did they fight so fast?He couldn't help but look back at Fu Hengzhi.

Their cannons had only fired one round, and the Ming army had already fired the second round.

The Ming army had more cannons, and the dense shells flew in all directions.

Puff, puff, the cavalry of the Qing army fell like rain.

After the shell hits, it will take off, often hitting a line.

Some will hit the horse's leg, and some will hit the human leg.

Whether it is a man or a horse, if you are hit, you will be disabled immediately.

300 m.

200 m.

100 m.

Soon, the four-way cavalry rushed within 100 meters.

Bang, bang, bang, the guns of the Ming army rang out one after another.

This time it was even more tragic than the shelling. Among Ding Yi's 8000 troops, there were about [-] artillerymen.

There are an average of [-] branches in each direction, divided into four sections.

And the Qing soldiers only had two to 3000 people in each direction.

After the first round of four-duan, two or three hundred riders were shot in almost every direction.

Qingqi suffered heavy losses from the beating, and there were many screams, people turned their backs on their backs, and Qing soldiers fell from their horses everywhere.

It was only then that Oboi discovered that the most powerful weapon of the Ming army was not the cannon, but the blunderbuss.

The frontal assault gunmen suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, the blunderbuss of the Ming Dynasty took time to reload. The four-stage shot of the Lumi blunderbuss and the current artillery are not as powerful as the three-stage shotguns and smoothbore guns of the later Eight-Power Allied Forces.

After this wave passed, almost all the remaining Qing cavalry rushed to the front of the Ming army.

"Booming" a large number of horses rushed into the Ming army formation just like the last entry battle.

The Qing soldiers got off their horses one after another, overturned their carts, and rushed into the Ming army formation.

The spear and shield soldiers of the Ming army raised their guns to meet them.

The shouts of killing from both sides shook the sky, and the front row fell into hand-to-hand melee.

"Free shooting" At this time, the Ming army began to call it free shooting.

Gunners no longer need to listen to orders, they can shoot freely.

The spear and shield soldiers in the front are on top, and the gunmen in the back choose targets at will.

Qing soldiers overturned their cars one after another, and some people stood on the car and fought with the Ming army.

The guns of the Ming army were ringing everywhere.

Arrows shot in from all directions.

At this time, everyone didn't have time to use shields to block arrows, and many gunmen stood outside and shot.

Ao Bai was not in a hurry, his subordinates had already contacted the Ming army, and he was shooting around the periphery, drawing his bow from time to time.

Collapse, every arrow will hit a Ming soldier.

Someone followed behind him: "Master, we are going to fire again soon, and we rushed in too."

At this time, he reminded Oboi that if he stopped the artillery, he might hit his own people.

"Don't stop, you can't fight without killing people, hit me hard." Oboi said sharply.

He is also really ruthless, regardless of his own people fighting hand-to-hand with the Ming army, even his own people want to fight together.

Suddenly, boom boom boom, there was another sound of cannons in the rear of the Qing soldiers.

The second round of Hongyi Cannon hit.

At this time, the scene was very chaotic. Many Qing soldiers in the front row had already rushed into the Ming army formation, but were blocked by the spear shield soldiers.

Puff, puff, suddenly several shells fell in, killing and wounding the gunmen in the middle.

The morale of the Qing soldiers was high, and the west wing was broken by them first.

"Wow!" Dozens of Qing soldiers screamed and rushed into the inner circle of the cart, cutting down several Ming soldiers.
