Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 211 The First Battle of the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun
Now Huang Taiji knows nothing about the situation of the Ming army.

He has fought for so many years, and he has always had sufficient information at hand, and knows himself and the enemy; only when he encounters a strong army, does he become a blind man.

But it doesn't matter, the Ming army only has 2000 people, that's for sure.

Moreover, the Ming army has just captured Tieling and Liaoyang, and is attacking Anle and Haizhou, which is also certain.

No matter how you calculate it, the hundreds of people in the Qiangdi Army are not enough.

"Is there anyone who doesn't take risks in war? The general dies in a hundred battles!"

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth.

"Yes! Look forward and look backward. If the front is afraid of wolves and the back is afraid of tigers, then there is no need to fight. Moreover, the Ming army did not release iron hedgehogs this time. This is definitely not their regular soldier! Sweaty, let the children fight in the vanguard!"

Jierharang yelled.

He had led 2 people to entangle the strong army all the way, and he had the most experience in fighting the strong army.

"Makes sense!"

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.

No iron hedgehogs!
Before the Ming army fought wars, they threw a circle of iron hedgehogs around after quickly building the city.

This time, the Ming army quickly built the city wall as usual, but they didn't throw the iron hedgehog.

"Without iron hedgehogs, our cavalry can quickly rush to their positions! Then, relying on the superiority in numbers, we can suppress them with bows and arrows! According to the information sent back by the sentry, this Ming army has changed their outfits, and they seem to be all Not wearing cotton armor. Suppressing with bows and arrows can easily cause a lot of casualties to them!"

Huang Taiji's eyes were burning.

If everything goes well, they can win this battle!

As long as they win this battle at all costs, their morale will definitely increase.

Maybe it can completely turn the tide of the battle!
"Okay! Jierhalang, you come to be the vanguard! All the troops, bet on it! We must win this battle! Anyone who dares to take half a step back will be beheaded! This king will personally come to beat the drums for the soldiers!"

At this moment, Huang Taiji felt his arrogance returned.

Ten thousand cavalry surrounded the conscript army's position and rushed over from all directions.

The mountains and plains are full of steaming dust everywhere, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum is terrifying.

……

"Is the heavy machine gun ready?"

Gu Er patrolled the conquest army's position over and over again, and the ten heavy machine guns he focused on.

Maxim heavy machine guns, grenades... these are the big killers that Zhao Cheng unlocked after the last update of the system mall.

"The commander-in-chief said that this heavy machine gun can make the nomads become good at singing and dancing. This big killer must be covered up and not easily exposed.

The effect is the best when used for the first time, and it can only be used when you encounter the main force of the Tartars, or when the Tartars take their heads.This time there are [-] Tartar cavalry, look at Dazhao, their banner owner and Dahan.

Brothers, stabilize me, this heavy machine gun must not fire unless I give an order.When I give an order, you all have to aim at the slave chiefs!

We have exposed the commander's secret weapon. If it doesn't work, we will be ashamed of the commander, and we will be ashamed to see him in the future! "

Gu Er's mouth couldn't stay idle, he kept urging.

Huang Taiji is probably below!
How glorious would it be if Huang Taiji could be killed?

It's exciting just thinking about it.

"That guy Zheng Qiang thinks I don't know what he's thinking? He just wants to catch the fish that slipped through the net. Hmph! This worthless guy wants to catch the big fish and take advantage... A box of Moutai, a batch of happiness Shui bought him off. He should not be able to get the credit for annihilating Huang Taiji!"

Gu Er pouted.

Zheng Qiang thought he had tricked Gu Er, and Gu Er also felt that he had tricked Zheng Qiang. Both of them had a sense of superiority in IQ.

boom!
boom!
The handsome cannon fired first.

For long-distance shooting, solid bullets are used.

The gunpowder sprayed gunpowder smoke, and the iron ball was burned red and smashed into the crowd. Suddenly, a group of people turned their backs.

However, the charging speed of the Eight Banners army was not affected at all. Everyone roared and slapped their horses vigorously to charge forward.

Boom boom boom!
The drums sounded.

Big Khan is beating the drums in the back himself!

All the men in armor were flushed, as if they had been spayed with chicken blood, shouting in their mouths, holding iron knives and maces, and rushed forward desperately.

Ping Pong Pong!

The rifles fired.

The dense bullets immediately hit a cavalryman and fell off his horse.

However, the horse speed is too fast!
Now there are only a thousand soldiers in the position.

There were tens of thousands of cavalry charging.

Relying on rifles can't suppress ten times as many infantry at all.

With the sound of horseshoes and the tremor of the ground, the Eight Banners army became more and more excited.

Among the soldiers of the conquest army, some people's complexion changed slightly and their bodies trembled.

Anyone can see that they can't stop the Tartars at all.

"Without the iron hedgehog, it really won't work!"

Gu Er muttered.

Iron hedgehogs are very inconvenient to carry, so they didn't bring them on this march.

I don't know how the commander-in-chief can change at any time, it's really like a fairy art.

Seeing that the Tartars were getting closer.

"Heavy machine gun ready!"

Gu Er was extremely excited, with a look of anticipation on his face.

He had seen the power of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

However, it used to be a target.This time, it is the first time to use it in actual combat.

"Remember, aim at the slave chief, hit me! Heavy machine gun, fire!"

Gu Er roared, and the Maxim heavy machine gun roared for the first time in this world, spewing out its angry flames.

……

"Rush! Rush into the Ming army's position and crush them! Archers are ready to shoot! Suppress them!"

Jierharang was extremely excited.

The position of the Ming army is already in sight.

Sure enough, without the hindrance of the iron hedgehog, the power of the cavalry was displayed, and their Eight Banners army was still invincible!
Jierhalang is holding an iron knife, and he wants to make contributions in front of the Great Khan!

beep!
beep!
At this moment, amidst the sound of shooting, there seemed to be several different sounds.

From this distance, Jierhalang could see that several Ming soldiers were operating something like carrying guns.

What is this?
Just as this thought flashed through Jierhalang's mind, the Maxim heavy machine gun fired continuously on the opposite side.

beep beep beep beep beep—

In the distinctive motor-like continuous gunshots, dense bullets poured in.

Jierhalang is the main target of attack.

The conscript army has binoculars, and equipped to the level of a small flag officer, they have already locked Jierhalang.

The first time the Maxim heavy machine gun fired, Jierhalang was beaten like a sieve, and he fell off his horse.

The guard beside him was also swept down by the dense bullets before he even had time to call out to his master.

A Tartar cavalry fell from his horse like mowing grass.

A dense crowd of cavalry rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they all fell down, leaving only the horses with empty saddles still rushing forward.

The firepower is too strong, as many cavalry come and die.

In real history, the first actual combat application of the Maxim heavy machine gun was in Rhodesia, South Central Africa in 1893-1894, during the war between the British army and the local Matabili-Sulus. A British army of more than 50 people repelled dozens of charges by more than 4 Metabilis with only 5000 Maxim heavy machine guns, killing more than 3000 people.

It was the First World War that really made Maxim stand out. At that time, the German army was equipped with the MG08 Maxim heavy machine gun. In the battle of the Somme, 60000 British soldiers were killed in one day, becoming the number of deaths in the First World War. most once.Since then, the armies of various countries have been equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns one after another, and Maxim has become a famous murder weapon.

Without understanding the power of the Maxim heavy machine gun, rushing forward will definitely lead to death in vain.

Now, there are 1000 people in the conquest army position, equipped with ten Maxim heavy machine guns, roaring and firing at the same time, the lives of the Jurchens are being harvested cheaply here.

They didn't even realize what was going on.

It is obvious that they have almost rushed to the front of the Ming army's position!

Obviously victory is already waving to them!

The point is that the Maxim heavy machine gun is so powerful, and the killing speed is so fast, that the Eight Banners army didn't understand what happened.

Not to mention the uncivilized Eight Banners army, in fact, during World War I, the British and French armies also suffered a lot, killing more than 6 people in four hours, which is called the bloodiest four hours in history.

Before the appearance of the Maxim heavy machine gun, it was possible to break through the enemy's position by charging with numbers.

But since the appearance of the Maxim heavy machine gun, as long as a certain number of Maxim heavy machine guns are equipped, no matter how many enemies come, the frontal charge will be fatal.

The Maxim heavy machine gun is known as the meat grinder on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of the emergence of such a large killer that human wars have become more and more cruel.

In the Battle of the Somme, more than 130 million people were killed by the British, French and German armies.

In the era of cold weapons, this is simply unimaginable.

Today, the Maxim heavy machine gun showed its fierce power for the first time. Ten heavy machine guns were placed on the ground, and tens of thousands of cavalry charged, which was not enough to watch.

beep beep-

The sound, like the roar of a motor, was endless.

A cavalryman fell from his horse with a crackling sound.

The cavalry behind couldn't react at all, and they didn't know what happened, and they were still charging desperately.

The servants followed one after another, as if they were rushing to die.

In history, things like this scene have been staged more than once.

It's just that it's the end of Ming Dynasty ahead of schedule.

dong dong dong dong!

Huang Taiji was still beating the drum vigorously, completely oblivious to the situation on the battlefield.

Gradually, the number of Eight Banners troops became smaller and smaller.

Only then did Huang Taiji notice that something was wrong.

"Khan, no, Khan! We...seem to be defeated!"

Fan Wencheng trembled.

This is very taboo, but if you don't say it, you won't have a chance.

"This...what's the matter?"

Huang Taiji's lips trembled, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe it.

"[-] troops...[-] warriors of our Eight Banners Army!"

On the battlefield, the warriors who were charging in thousands and thousands of places were now sparsely populated, and most of them had already died in the battle.

Even Ba Yala, who supervised the battle, didn't care about killing people, and ran in a panic.

"How could it be so fast? This is... less than a stick of incense, right? An army of ten thousand! This is an army of ten thousand! Even if ten thousand pigs were released, the Ming army wanted to get them all out in such a short period of time. Killing is also impossible, right? How did they do it?"

The muscles on Huang Taiji's face trembled.

He... can't figure it out!

Could it be that the Ming army really had sorcery?

At this moment, this crazy idea flashed in his mind again, and it was unstoppable.

If there were no sorcery, how could the Ming army harvest so many lives in such a short period of time?
beep beep beep beep—

The Maxim heavy machine gun was still roaring.

"Elevation angle, hit the sky, hit far!"

Gu Er jumped up excitedly.

This guy, fighting is so fun!
Fighting cavalry is as simple as cutting wheat.

The Maxim heavy machine gun looked up at the sky and threw it, and the bullets fell in an arc, which was equally powerful.

"Quick! Blow the charge! Charge! I must catch Huang Taiji!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gu Er gave an order.

Immediately, a soldier stood up, head held high, holding a charge horn, raised his head and blew:

Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep

The loud charge sounded.

"Come on!"

All the soldiers of the conquering army roared angrily, rushed out of the position with their guns in hand, and chased after the Tartars.

"Master, let's go! The Ming army is charging!"

When he heard the sound of the charging horn, Ye Bilong shivered like a conditioned reflex, and felt terrified in his heart.

Huang Taiji's face also changed slightly.

He was already very familiar with the sound of the trumpet.

As long as the trumpet is sounded, the Ming army will start a general attack, and will rush over desperately.

Almost all the major banner owners raised this question to him, and when it came to the sound of the trumpet, they all turned pale.

"I won't go! We have ten thousand warriors, how could...how could..."

Huang Taiji simply could not accept this fact.

He felt a tightness in his chest and a sweet throat. He couldn't help opening his mouth, and with a "wow", he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sweat!"

All the subordinates were shocked.

"Master, take care! Your dragon body is related to the life and death of the Dajin Kingdom! You can't have any accidents! As long as you are here, we can make a comeback! Master, slave, please... let's go!" Fan Wencheng cried every word Blood.

"oops!"

Huang Taiji sighed heavily.

"I wish I could die here!"

With his attitude, it was obvious that he was about to run away.

"Ye Bilong, you stay in the rear. No matter what, you must block the Ming army for two incense sticks. After the two incense sticks, you can retreat, and there is nothing wrong with it!" Fan Wencheng ordered.

Ye Bilong felt like he was selling his mother for a while.

The opposite is the Ming army!
The [-]-strong army failed to last for a stick of incense.

Let him persist for two incense sticks?
Isn't this letting him die?
However, he had no choice, and he dared not disobey orders.

Moreover, at this time, someone really needs someone to stand in for the Great Khan, "Yes, my lord!"

Ye Bilong first bowed his hands to Fan Wencheng, and then bid farewell to Huang Taiji with tears in his eyes.

"Master, take care!"
