Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 317 Lucky Boluo narrowly escaped, unlucky Nikan was hit by a shell

Boluo turned his head and saw that the group of Mongolian cavalrymen behind him were all dead. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

In fact, Boluo didn't need to say that the Mongolian cavalry behind also knew that they should withdraw.

However, the attack range of the tiger squatting artillery of the Ming Army was as far as two hundred steps. At this time, many Mongolian cavalry rushed into this range. Not to mention, the follow-up Mongolian cavalry was also charging at high speed. There were people in front and behind, and it was difficult to turn.

As a result, many Mongolian cavalrymen rushed forward knowing that they would be killed by tiger squatting cannons if they rushed forward.

There were also those who forcibly reined in their horses during the charge, but almost all of them were turned on their backs by the cavalry behind them, and they were trampled to death on the spot.

Two or three miles away, Nikan and the others were also shocked when they saw this scene.

"I'm afraid there are hundreds of tiger squat cannons in this Ming army!"

Nikan whipped Du Yonghe and Wu Wenwen angrily, and asked, "Why didn't you say that the Ming army has so many tiger squatting cannons before? Could it be that you want to see our army suffer such a big loss?!"

Nikan's attack was very heavy this time, the two were beaten until they cried out in pain, but they didn't dare not explain.

"Master Baylor, the Ming army didn't use so many cannons to attack us."

"That's right, that's right, they are using the Red Barbarian Cannon that opened the flower bombs, Lord Baylor saw it just now."

Nikan actually knew that this was another Ming army, not Huang Degong's, but he just wanted to blame the two defeated Han generals. Otherwise, could he be angry at the Jurchen tribe or Mongolian Anda?
After whipping the two of them, Nikan went to look again, and saw that Boluo was running here with more than a thousand riders, panicking like a lost dog.

There are hundreds of cavalry scattered around the battlefield, also running this way.

In other words, just now, the Ming army shelled and killed seven or eight hundred Mongolian cavalrymen!
Nikan was thinking about how to explain to Duduo, or simply blame Boluo completely, when he saw another roar from the formation of the Ming army.

boom boom boom

Thirty or forty shells with sparks fell precisely into the cavalry led by Boluo, either exploding on the ground or exploding in the air.

Immediately, many Mongolian cavalrymen turned their backs on their backs.

Maybe it was because Boluo ran in the front, or maybe he was lucky that nothing happened.

But the Mongolian cavalry behind him was one or two hundred less.

This is because the formation of the cavalry is relatively loose. If the formation is tighter, the casualties may be doubled.

Nikan's face was pale, and he suddenly remembered something, and immediately gave Du Yonghe a whip, and asked, "How far can the Ming army's Hongbari cannon hit?"

Du Yonghe hesitated for a while, and said, "Two miles?"

"It's really only two miles?"

"When Huang Degong hit us, he hit us within two miles."

After hearing this, Nikan was judging how credible the words of the two Han defeated generals were, when he heard the roar of artillery again.

At this time, Boluo led around Qianqi and was already approaching Nikan.

Nikan looked at him, couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and hurriedly shouted: "Stay away! Let me spread out!"

While shouting, Nikan was the first to gallop out.

The three thousand Mongolian cavalry behind him were in chaos and rushed in all directions.

However, before these people dispersed completely, thirty or forty rounds of explosive bullets fell.

Because they thought they were at a safe distance, the formation of these three thousand cavalry was much tighter than the cavalry led by Bo Luo, even if they spread out a few breaths earlier, they still seemed quite tight.

At this time, everyone was blown upside down, even shattered!

Nikan looked back after running hundreds of films, and couldn't help but feel terrified.

There are so many Hongyi cannons in the Ming army, and they can be sent so far and so fast, completely beyond his expectations.

It should be noted that whether it was the Hongyi cannon brought by Kong Youde back then, or the cannon they captured later, the farthest they could travel was only three miles.

Moreover, there are only a few Hongyi cannons, and they weigh several thousand catties, so they are extremely difficult to transport. They are usually placed on the walls of important cities and fortresses such as Beijing and Shanhaiguan.

Who would have thought that the Ming army would transport thirty or forty of these Hongyi cannons and hide them in the army formation?

Thinking of this, Nikan immediately realized that the retreat of the Ming army in the small town was absolutely fraudulent!

So he hurriedly said to the white-armored knights around him: "Go and find Engetu and Chuobei quickly, tell them that the Ming army is cheating, and retreat north quickly!"

"Whoo!"

Unexpectedly, these white-armored cavalry hadn't run far when a few Mongolian cavalrymen rushed over from the town.

He shouted from afar: "Nikan Baylor, tens of thousands of Ming troops have appeared in the south, and the artillery is extremely fierce, blocking us inside the town. It is difficult for the large group of people to rush out. Please send troops quickly to support!"

After yelling, he finally saw the situation here, and was immediately stunned.

what happened?

Has this side been defeated too?

Nikan scolded angrily: "What happened to Engetu? Didn't he tell him to be careful and not go deep into the town easily?
Also, there are tens of thousands of Ming troops in the south, you didn't find out in advance, what are you doing for food? ! "

The leading Mongolian cavalry came back to their senses and explained: "Baylor, it's not that my lord is careless, it's because the Ming army is too cunning.

The Ming army was constantly retreating in the town, carrying a lot of silver boxes. The clansmen came here to make a fortune, so how could they not rush?

The Ming army in the south quickly approached the town two miles away from three or four miles away, and then fired at Nanjiekou. As long as we have a large group of people rushing out, we will be bombarded.

And they are all flowering bombs, the power is too scary.

Later, many armored soldiers and gunfire soldiers were sent to block the street entrance, and we couldn't get out at all. "

Nikan became even angrier when he heard this, "Idiot! Aren't you going to come out from the north or west?"

The Mongolian cavalry who reported said with a mournful face: "The north is also blocked by the Ming army, and the two adults are retreating westward, but they are tightly entangled by the Ming army in the town.

Those Ming soldiers who were originally timid suddenly became very brave and good at fighting, and even Mr. Chuobei was killed.

I also ask Baylor to send troops to support and respond quickly, otherwise Lord Engetu and thousands of us will be trapped in it. "

The surrounding Mongolian cavalry became agitated when they heard this.

Seeing this gloomy expression, Nikan was about to say something, when he heard the roar of the cannon again, his expression panicked, and he galloped away.

As a result, under the watchful eyes of the Mongolian cavalry who was asking for help, Nikan ran northward for only a few dozen steps, just in time to bump into a falling bomb.

boom!
A bang.

The flower bomb exploded in the air, and the steed Nikan was riding was immediately knocked down. Nikan fell and flew out like a rag doll. After landing, he rolled twice and then remained silent.

This is already the fourth round of shelling, the range of far more than three miles, and the firing speed of dozens of breaths, have completely frightened the Mongolian cavalry.

Seeing the soldiers from the second town of the border guards rushing towards this side shouting and killing, the remaining Mongolian cavalry immediately fled in all directions.

No one mentioned anything about taking over Engetu.

No one even cared about Nikan's disfigured corpse.

Nikan was only their temporary commander, not their master. Naturally, no Mongolian cavalry would take care of him at such a critical moment.

As for Nikan's personal soldiers, there were not many at first, but he sent out many during the battle, and the rest were either killed or injured by the shelling.

Therefore, when the officers and soldiers of the second town of the border guards rushed over, they found that it was too late to chase the fleeing Mongolian cavalry, so they began to clean up the battlefield, preparing to intercept the enemies in the town.

Soon a few soldiers shouted in surprise.

"A Tartar general died here!"

···
Engetu forced his cavalry to resist the pursuit of the Ming army, and finally led more than [-] cavalry to retreat from the town.

But when he saw the situation outside, his face was full of despair.

I saw tens of thousands of Ming troops appearing on the western battlefield at some point, and they were divided into nine thousand-man teams, one at a time of a hundred paces. Tiger squatting guns and musketeers were all ready to form a blockade of more than two miles.
