I'm a big dick

Chapter 358

Isn't it weird that those with guns can't beat those with knives, and those who are advanced in technology can't beat the barbaric and backward?

Of course, the problem was internal, which was the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise.

But for Zhu Youxiao, it is normal for the advanced to defeat the backward.Now, finally normal, he can feel relieved.

And this kind of three-row salvo has been taught in martial arts, and it is also explained in the "Musketeer Exercise Code".But it is the first time to use it in actual combat.

This is related to the understanding of the generals and the environment on the battlefield.In order to be able to form a continuous firepower, the generals of the Ming army preferred to shoot in bursts row by row.

One is to continuously, the other is to project all at once, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.But it is undeniable that the salvo of the three rows of Musketeers was at a distance of more than 20 meters, which was indeed fierce and cruel.

To use an analogy, a burst shot is to pour out a basin of water one after another; while a volley is to hold a basin and pour it over head and face.

The effect is almost the same in terms of the final result.Just like the amount of rainfall, the next day of light rain is the same as the torrential rain for an hour.

But in the race against time on the battlefield, time is life, and the Ming army suddenly used this tactic because it was also impatient, eager to defeat the enemy and support the friendly army that was desperately blocking it.

The firepower of this three-row volley was unusually fierce, and it abruptly stopped Jiannu's counterattack momentum.The Jiannu who rushed to the front were almost wiped out, including Hadasuo who was unwilling to die.

"Kill—" After finishing shooting, the musketeer raised his bayonet and rushed towards the chaotic enemy.

Muskets and bayonets have dominated the battlefield for hundreds of years.But many people regard the bayonet as an accessory weapon, and think that the musket is the main force for killing the enemy.

In fact, for front-loading smoothbore muskets, because the firepower is far less than that of automatic rifles, the role of bayonets is even more important.

That's right, the bayonet, which seems to have no technical content, is the key to finally defeating the enemy and winning victory.Moreover, muskets and bayonets also ended the era of cold weapons and became the only weapons used by modern infantry.

Charge with white blades and close hand to hand combat have always been the weakness of the Ming army.Jiannu has won many battles and victories, and most of them rely on this, rather than riding and shooting.

Now, although the melee ability of the Ming army can't surpass that of Jiannu, it is constantly improving, and the rate of progress is gratifying.

The dense arrangement and the simultaneous advancement of comrades-in-arms around them undoubtedly increased the courage and momentum of the Ming army's assault.The strict military laws and regulations have also enabled soldiers to form a reflexive execution ability.

Puff, puff, puff... There was a terrifying sound of the bayonet piercing into the flesh, followed by screams and wailing.

Advance and retreat at the same time, the knife forest formed by hundreds of bayonets is not much worse than the spear array.

The Jiannu had been beaten sparsely by the muskets, and hit the entire row of bayonets of the Ming army, which was almost the same as the Jiannu cavalry hitting the cavalry wall of the Ming army.

Using more to fight less is not only a comparison of the overall strength of the troops, but also the scene of situational combat.This is actually the characteristic of the Ming army's combat. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, they all strive to achieve this.

Even the Ming army, which was blocking Jiannu's breakthrough, maintained this advantage in the frontal position.The Jiannu who rushed up faced not only the bayonets of the Ming army in the first row, but also the two rows of muskets in the back.

Jiannu's counterattack in the rear ended in failure. The Ming army advanced more fiercely, and the Mongolian coalition continued to follow, providing fire support with dense arrows.

Jiannu's casualties are increasing at an alarming rate, falling every moment.Despite their valor, they are hard-pressed to withstand the onslaught of superior enemies.

"Kill, kill!" Melezhangjing Kaerla roared in despair.

The gunshots from behind were getting closer and closer, and the troops were continuously deployed to block the attack, making the forward attacking forces seem insufficient.Judging by the number and momentum of the Ming army on the opposite side, it was impossible to break through, but he still had that chance of luck.

Although desperation can turn into courage, Jiannu's attack is not without violence.However, after the Ming army withstood the onslaught in the early stage, its defense has become more and more stable.

However, the onslaught of the pursuers shook Jiannu's psychology and morale after all.

Looking at the tragic scene of the corpses lying in front of him, and hearing the opponent's shooting is still so fierce, anyone will feel a sense of despair.

Can you take the road and escape if you kill it?Many post-golden soldiers had to think about it this way.The shooting muskets ended the lives of too many Jianzhou warriors.The bloody battles inside and outside the trenches still couldn't stop the counterattacks of the Ming army from time to time.

There was another roar in the back, which resembled the loud noise of a cannon, but it was the Ming army who once again used three rows of volleys.The Mongolian coalition forces also dispatched infantry troops, brandishing scimitars, rushing up from the flanks to fight in melee.

According to the reward offered by the Ming court, the head of a slave is worth 40 taels of silver, which is not a small fortune.The establishment of slavery is already at the end of its battle, when will it be better if we don't take advantage of it at this time?
Looking up, you can already see the smoke rising from the rear, which was formed by the muskets of the Ming army.Then he turned his head to look at the blockade position of the Ming army, the flames flickered, and another row of muskets fired.

Before he knew it, Karla had burst into tears.It's not fear, it's grief and anger.

Thousands of Jianzhou warriors who galloped invincibly on horseback will all be buried today, turning into headless corpses, stinking and rotting.

Amin's face was bleak, and he already knew that the end of defeat was inevitable.The only way of escape seems to be the Songhua River in the north, but that is obviously a dead end!
Maybe——Amin looked at the river beach in the north, and his mood fluctuated with the roar of the Ming army's approaching guns.

In the rising smoke, the speed of the Ming army's advancement accelerated again.It's not the improvement of combat power, but the confusion of the Jiannu army who blocked the attack, and fewer and fewer troops can be mobilized.

Similarly, amidst the approaching roar of muskets and shouts of killing, more and more Jiannu were terrified and chilled in their hearts.

The roar of muskets continued, and the Jin soldiers who attacked the Ming army's position retreated.From rather dying than retreating to returning after setbacks, it can be seen that Jiannu's confidence has fallen to the bottom.

The sound from behind became louder and louder, the roar of muskets, the hoarse shouts of killing, and even dense arrows passing through the air could be seen.

The defender's collapse was imminent, and Amin finally made the final decision.

"Go north!" Amin raised his head and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "As many as you can walk, as many as you can live, you can't all die here."

north?That is the river beach, the Songhua River.The river beach is difficult to navigate, and the river is even more difficult to cross. How is it different from a dead end?

But as long as they don't die here immediately, even if they can live a little longer, the Houjin officers and soldiers who are in a desperate situation have no choice but to choose.

Daqi flew northward quickly, rushed up the river bank, and fled down the river.

Amin led his personal guards to leave the battlefield first, and more Houjin soldiers also lost their fighting spirit. In fact, there were only a few hundred people left, and they fled panickedly following the banner.

"Kill, go!"

As the Hou Jin army fled one after another, the resistance was greatly reduced. The Ming army and the Mongolian coalition army rushed up quickly, and the shouts were earth-shattering.

Afterwards, the Jin army completely collapsed, people shouted and neighed, and the brave Jiannu became a duck to be chased and killed, and even lost the courage to look back.

"Come on, kill!"

The musketeers of the Ming army chased the enemy's footsteps and rushed towards the river beach, chasing the fleeing Jiannu.The Mongolian allied forces also beat the dogs in the water, chasing and killing them with bows and arrows, and slashing and killing them with machetes.

Amid the shouts of killing resounding across the field, muskets shot, bayonets stabbed, machetes slashed, ruthlessly reaping human lives.Jiannu, who fell behind or lost their horses, uttered desperate cries similar to howling, and raced with their companions.

Karla fell to the ground again. Fortunately, the horse was hit by lead bullets. He fell on the soft river beach, but was not injured.

Getting up dizzily, his mind was blank, and he just ran forward subconsciously following others.At this time, he was no different from a small soldier, and no one protected him as a high official.

With the sound of rumbling horseshoes, a thousand naturalized cavalry and thousands of Mongolian coalition troops galloped forward on the road, outflanking the fleeing enemies on the soft river beach.

The dragoons of the Ming army who were in charge of blocking the attack also had hundreds of horses on their horses and followed closely behind.

One fast and one slow, one strong and one weak, escaped the attack of the Ming army, but Amin and hundreds of Jiannu still couldn't escape the fierce pursuit.

There were fewer and fewer people around Karla, one fell down with a scream, and another one disappeared with a scream.

The mudflats under his feet turned into gravel, and there were undulating pebbles of various sizes. It was not until the river water submerged his boots that Karla slowed down.

The river is not wide, but for those who can't swim, it is no different from the sea.After a little hesitation, Karla continued to escape by wading in the shallow water.

Why do you want to escape? Obviously, you can't escape!
The Houjin officers and soldiers with horses were already far away, and they could only vaguely see the banner.Behind them are the Ming army and the Mongolian allied army who are chasing after them. Lead bullets and arrows are constantly shooting at them, killing them easily like a living target.

This is the survival psychology of people. When death is imminent, even if you take a breath, you still have to struggle.

But no matter how strong Karla's desire to survive was, he couldn't save his dog's life.A lead shot hit him in the calf, and he staggered and fell into the shallow water.

When he got up again, his body was covered in mud and his braids were scattered, making him extremely embarrassed and ugly.The pain in his leg made him run with a limp, only to fall into the water after a short run.

Puff, puff... A group of Ming army musketeers held bayonets and slaughtered the fallen Jiannu. They approached and surrounded Karla who was sitting in the water.

Looking at the approaching enemy, humiliation, resentment, unwillingness...

All kinds of complicated feelings surged up. Karla struggled to stand up with a knife, limped a bleeding leg, assumed a fighting posture, and howled lowly to the surrounding enemies, like a wild dog demonstrating to people .

"Hahahaha." Unexpectedly, Ming Jun held his bayonet and burst into laughter.

Although the Ming army's expression could not be seen through the iron mask, Karla could hear contempt and ridicule from the laughter.In the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army, the desperate battle of Lord Meilezhangjingkarla seemed to be a clown-like performance.

What are you laughing at, what's so ridiculous?

Insulting, it was an unabashed insult.Karla showed her white teeth, her expression became more terrifying, and her growling voice increased a few degrees.

"Hahahaha." The soldiers of the Ming army laughed even louder, and they were really enjoying the performance of this slave-building official.

Karla was about to go mad with anger, and wielding the knife in his hand, he strenuously moved forward, slashing and killing one of them.

puff!An arrow shot over, hit Karla's face, and stopped his progress.

Ma Chengfei rode a war horse and approached unhurriedly.Several soldiers of the Ming army were quite dissatisfied at first, but when they turned their heads to stare, they immediately relaxed their eyes again.

"Catch the living ones, it's your credit." Ma Chengfei chuckled, held the big bow on the horse, galloped the horse forward, and drew out the sword neatly.

The horse's hoof hit the ground, splashing water and mud, and it was in front of Karla in a blink of an eye.

Covering his bleeding face, Karla only had one eye to see the scene, but he still resisted dying, swung his knife and slashed at the war horse riding on the horse.

With a sound of "dang", Ma Chengfei easily blocked the saber with his horsepower, and while Karla was shaken back, the saber drew an arc and slashed down fiercely.

Karla's vision was blurred, and he raised his knife to parry, but it was blocked.A gust of wind passed by his ears, and the back of Ma Chengfei's saber slammed hard on his shoulder.

Karla screamed long and hard, his bones were smashed, and he fell headfirst, rolling and crying in the muddy water in pain.

A few soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward and dragged Karla away by their pigtails.A soldier thought his barking was ugly, so he picked up a handful of sand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Amin's face was terribly gloomy. Although the gunshots and shouts of killing were far away, he knew that he was not out of danger.

The reason why the Ming army chose this place to block the attack was because they were optimistic about the terrain here.If you want to detour from the river beach when attacking, and walk slowly with one deep foot and one shallow foot, won't you be shot as a living target?

The Ming army's release of hundreds of people from the flanks was firstly to form a flanking firepower, and secondly to prevent Jiannu from detouring from the river beach.

Although Amin is still worried about whether he can lead these hundreds of people to escape, but more is still sad and resentful.

If you lose, you lose, but you lose so badly.And if you give yourself another chance, the hope of turning defeat into victory is not too great. This is what makes people feel sad and helpless.

There was a salty smell in his mouth, Amin had bitten his lip, but he didn't notice it yet.

A gentle slope appeared ahead, and it should be possible to turn onto the road, but Amin's eyes flickered, and he hesitated.

Has the enemy moved beyond the past and is lining up ahead?Amin was not sure, and he did not want to fight the enemy anymore.

But if you want to continue walking along the river, you will definitely not be able to reach the speed of the Ming army on the road, and it is only a matter of time before you are blocked.

In fact, A Min soon didn't have to worry about it anymore, he saw the red figure of the enemy on the gentle slope clearly.Not only the gentle slope, but also the Mongolian coalition forces behind them.

"Lord Baylor—" the captain of the personal guard, Zhu Ketu, galloped over, glanced at the enemy in front of him, with a look of determination on his face, "I will lead people to restrain the enemy, and keep Lord Belle safe."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Amin to answer, he waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, let's fight the enemy! Turn around and charge, and try to survive." After finishing speaking, he slowed down his horse.

There was hesitation on Amin's face, but then he nodded vigorously.

The personal guards are preparing to fight to the death, trying to get him out of danger; Amin feels that he cannot disappoint their loyalty, and the personal guards are his confidantes, who usually receive the most favors, and it is time for loyalty to be the main priority and to repay .
