    The Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassal slowly advanced. They came in waves, and their horse heads were all in sight.  When they entered three miles, they began to speed up, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the ground shook violently like a big drum.  "Seeing them rolling in like a rushing tide, their power can't help but make people blush. Without special training on infantry and cavalry confrontation, or strong psychological quality, it is actually difficult for many infantry formations to block the charge of cavalry.  There were too many military formations that collapsed from fear before the cavalry could rush forward.  Facing a cavalry charge, it feels like trains and trucks are coming towards you. It is hard to tell whether you can stand firm on the spot, let alone fight.  This is also the case when the Ming army went to war. They basically needed heavy chariots and camps to cover themselves in the wilderness. Only by relying on the protection of chariots could they bring them a little sense of security.  "However, the Xuanwu Army's position remained calm, and the soldiers' hands holding their weapons were steady.  Looking through the telescope of Han Dynasty, it turned out that the first wave of Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassal that rushed in had about 5,000 horses. In front of their large group of people were some sparse horse teams, ranging from dozens to hundreds of horses per unit. Obviously  It's a lure.  They will rush to the front and perform various lure and fire actions. If they can't hold back and fire, when the artillery fire is finished, their rear formation will be able to rush up and break the formation in one fell swoop.  In the Battle of Songjin that year, Nuqi used this move to break Bai Guangen's car formation.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of these lures are large groups of horses, with some Mongolian cavalry riding on top to drive them, and behind them are their large horse teams.  South Korea issued an order to use rockets and artillery to blast their horses, as well as the large group of horses rushing up from behind.  As for the decoys in front, the artillerymen in the formation were not allowed to fire. They were protected by artillery battalions and arranged for the hunters around them to shoot them.  The first wave of Mongolian cavalry from the outer vassal entered Erli. They suddenly accelerated their horses, and the horses reached a galloping speed of ten meters per second. The iron hoofs shook the ground with a roar.  And this is not even their highest speed. When the war horses charge, they can reach 123 meters per second. The maximum sprint speed is 156 meters per second. However, at this speed, they can rush to the big city in just two minutes.  The array is approaching.  The war horses galloped, the earth trembled more and more violently, the Mongolian cavalry came like a tide, and countless Mongolians roared strangely on their horses.  At this moment, there was a deafening sound of artillery, and one hundred and fifty Hongyi cannons in front of the formation opened fire at the same time. There was lightning and thunder, and long white smoke spewed out, quickly covering the entire front.  The heavy recoil caused all the gun mounts to retreat collectively. At the same time, in the long spurt of fire, solid iron balls roared into the air and smashed headlong into the rushing Mengqi.  The thunderous sound of the cannons made people jump with fear. South Korea and North Korea slightly stopped the commotion of the horses under their crotches. The simultaneous firing of one hundred and fifty red cannons was no small matter. Even the horses under their crotches were well-informed and could not help but feel frightened.  Wang Pu breathed out heavily. He heard the neighing of horses around him, and tried his best to suppress his racing heart. One hundred and fifty Hongyi cannons fired at the same time. It was too scary. Only the Jingbian Army had such a big scene.  Handy.  He looked to the opposite side, where the smoke was filling the air. The situation there was a bit unclear, but it could be seen that after the artillery bombardment, a large number of horses over there were neighing in confusion, and some solid iron balls even crashed into the horses, leaving large clouds of blood mist.  Soaring, some injured horses rolled around and were covered in blood.  Some horse riders were directly hit by cannonballs with huge bloody holes, and then they rolled to the ground, causing serious confusion to the horses rushing behind them, and they were tripped and broken one after another.  Some knights were thrown out by the frantic horses, and then trampled to pieces by the horses rushing behind them.  The shells roared, and the roar of the artillery continued. The artillery fired fierce fires one after another. Amidst the thunderous sound of the cannons, large plumes of thick smoke spewed out endlessly.  After each artillery unit fired, they immediately filled in new medicine bags and wire tubes, and moved quickly and agilely. The Jingbian Army extensively used silk medicine bags and goose feather medicine tubes, allowing their firing speed to reach an astonishing level. They could hit five or six guns in one minute.  gun.  ?Compared with ordinary Hongyi cannons which cannot fire more than three times in a row, they can fire up to ten times and then cool down for a quarter of an hour, and only need to cool down for an hour after firing fifty rounds. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Because the Nuqi attack in multiple waves, they have to control the rhythm of their firing. Generally, the Red Yi Cannon will stop firing after firing five cannons in a row.  At the same time, the rumbling sound of artillery sounded from the Zhuxinzhuang Ridge. Heavy artillery shells weighing more than ten kilograms went directly over the top of the military formation and viciously hit the charging Meng Qi.  There are also rockets.  Wang Pu looked up and saw a hundred brilliant rockets flying through the sky. They roared fiercely, trailing long tail flames and thick smoke, like meteors and fire rain, and then fell heavily in front of them.Among the horses coming on horseback.  Then, there were violent explosions one after another, rising flames, smoke, fragments, iron bullets, broken human bodies, broken armor and weapons, tumbling horse stumps, and horses running around in panic and confusion.  With just a few artillery shells and hundreds of rockets, their control of the horse herd completely failed, and more than a thousand horses were scattered everywhere.  Some horses even neighed and ran back covered in blood, causing waves of chaos all around.  Wang Pu looked at that side and murmured: "The effect is good, but it is too expensive." Next to him, Chief of Staff Tian smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke coming from the distance, and also sighed: "War is really steel.  With the gunpowder industry, the Jingbian Army fired five battles with red barbarian artillery. More than 800 light and heavy solid iron balls collided with each other, and hundreds of rockets were fired simultaneously, causing heavy casualties to the Waifan Mongolian soldiers who rushed into the battle.  .  When they had only rushed one mile, they were no longer in any formation, and had lost at least one-fifth of their men. Due to the chaos of the horse team, they unknowingly slowed down a lot, and the horse team even more so.  All scattered.  However, because they were riding on horses running at high speed, the Mongolian riders of the Outer Mongols were in a high state of excitement. Adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and they seemed not to feel fear. It was difficult to see the misery of the people around them when they were moving quickly, because they ran away quickly.  .  Their ranks were also spread out, so there were still many people who were not hit by the cannons and arrows. They continued to run while making deafening screams.  Soon they ran within a mile, and the fifty General Franco machine guns opened fire again. Each artillery fired four or five times in a short period of time. The body parts were flying, and the horses were knocked down one by one.  The dark torrent of cavalry was still rolling forward.  Some people even charged forward on horseback, with speeds reaching 123 meters per second. The ground shook like an earthquake, and their ears were filled with the sound of horse hooves like drums.  ¡­ ¡°These Mongolians have taken medicine.¡± Wang Dou watched from the ridge, thinking silently.  Chen Xinjia, Ji Shiwei and others who were paying attention to the battle situation on the ridge also unknowingly focused their attention here.  They all had worried looks on their faces. Such a violent attack by the Beibei was quite rare. It looked like they were charging with thousands of troops. The entire wilderness was filled with their men and horses, and only a thin layer of our own front line could stop them.  Charge?  Prince Zhu Cihong was also watching. Seeing the Tartar thieves coming in a surging force, the torrent seemed to break through everything. He was so nervous that he almost screamed. As their wave of horses got closer and closer, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and a pair of fists kept rolling.  Feelings are held tightly.  ¡­ ¡­ Wang Pu¡¯s heart was beating violently. He opened his mouth to say something, but then he looked at Han Chao¡¯s face next to him and closed his mouth consciously.  He wanted to do something, but didn't know how to do it. Fortunately, he heard the orders from the artillery officers of each battalion in front of the formation: "Prepare the cannonballs, three waves of bombardment."  One bombardment after another, the cannons adjusted their firing angles to direct fire, and then stuffed shotshells into the barrels one after another, aiming at the black holes of the Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassal who were still rolling in.  Finally, their large group rushed closer, and those at the forefront were the decoy soldiers. They were dozens or hundreds of people, seemingly charging straight into the formation. Then after charging a hundred steps, they suddenly drew their horses skillfully and headed towards  Both sides of the military formation swept away.  They are very familiar with this kind of seduction, and they obviously do it often.  In the past, when they faced the Ming army, they often succeeded in seducing them, causing them to bombard them with firecrackers and artillery.  "However, the Jing border troops remained motionless. If these decoy soldiers rushed forward, the hunters beside the artillery would kill them with Rumi blunderbuss.  The sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and the black Mongolian cavalry rushed in. They all let go of their horses and rushed within 150 steps.  "Fire!" The sharp swan trumpet sounded, and a flag-bearer raised his hand. The sound of artillery seemed to shake the earth, completely suppressing the sound of the horses' hooves on the opposite side. One hundred and fifty Hongyi cannons fired at once, rolling thick  Large plumes of smoke came out, followed by long flames spraying out of the muzzle.  Each of these Hongyi cannons is loaded with 500 rounds of shotgun shells. The 150 cannons contain 75,000 small iron bullets. They are fired with an initial velocity of 400 meters per second, and the spread area is 50 to 60 meters.  The effective range is two to three hundred meters.  One hundred and fifty red barbarian cannons fired volleys of shotshells, and the flying bullets covered the entire front area of ??the infantry formation. Thumb-thick iron rain swept across, blood mist and dust flew, and several rows of Waifan rushed from the front and rear.  The Mongol cavalry was almost swept away.  Regardless of whether they were men or horses, their bodies were covered with dense blood arrows, and they screamed and neighed.  ? ?Those who rushed closer and faced the muzzle of the gun were beaten to pieces on the spot.  The decoy soldiers who rushed to both sides of the military formation were also swept away.  The Mengqi in the rear all had their mouths wide open, and the thunderous roar of the artillery in front made their ears buzz. They saw the people and horses in the front rolling like waves of wheat, and then there were countless shrill screams, that kind of  The shock is really indescribable.  They rushed forward numbly and dazedly, hearing the sharp swan sound again.  The fifty General Franco machine guns fired another volley of shotguns. They were also loaded with five hundred rounds of projectiles, with a range of more than a hundred steps and a spread area of ??ten to twenty steps. These Mongolian riders saw another flash of fire in the smoke ahead.  Then the billowing smoke became thicker, and another large roaring rain of bullets came.  They rolled over another large area, and the remaining people were even more blank-minded and at a loss.  There was another sharp swan sound, and the two hundred and fifty small and medium-sized Franco machine guns were pushed up. They were loaded with one hundred rounds of shotshells, and the two hundred and fifty guns also had twenty-five thousand small iron bullets. They fired again, and towards the enemy.  More smoke and fierce flames poured out from this area.  A hundred steps in front of the Xuanwu Army formation were already piled with corpses of men and horses. Many of the injured who were still alive were crawling and screaming on the ground. There were also horses that had been shot, tumbling on the ground in a bloody state, or in a frenzy.  jumping and wailing wildly.  The remaining Mengqi rushed up, all crowded and wandering in this area. The people and horses struggling in the pool of blood on the ground made them terrified. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡° There are many horses in the North, but fortunately we have more artillery.¡± Chen Xinjia breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Ji Shiwei beside him.  Ji Shiwei was still looking over there in shock, and said unconsciously: "Yesyes" "After all, the power of technology cannot be stopped by flesh and blood." Wang Dou's heart was completely relieved, conservative estimate  , At least 100,000 rounds of shotgun shells were fired at the Xuanwu Army's position just now. How could the Mongolian cavalry from a foreign domain be able to charge forward with such a huge rain of bullets?  This was also the reason why he wanted to knock out the artillery in the carriage camp of the Shun Army beforehand. If they fired a shotgun attack, wouldn't his soldiers suffer heavy casualties?  He sat back on his big tiger-skin chair and took out a box of Yun cigarettes. Seeing that the Minister of War and his father-in-law were standing next to him unconsciously, he handed one to them, then took out one and held it in his mouth.  He quickly took out the fire sticks and lit them for him.  Wang Dou puffed out a puff of smoke and leaned back comfortably on his chair. Everything was fine.  (To be continued.)
