These jars were very heavy, each weighing more than twenty kilograms. They immediately killed many of the Mongolians gathered outside.
The Mongolians watched in amazement that these prodigal Han people actually used porcelain jars of pickles as stones to hit people. They were all dumbfounded.
Several people immediately rushed over and tried to snatch the unbroken jars that had fallen on the soil. These were good things. They were good for holding water, putting mutton fat, and even pickling pickles.
They even fought to snatch these jars. Then, he saw the fuses emitting green smoke. Before they could shout, a ball of flames instantly rose, and twenty kilograms of black powder exploded. The shock wave swept all around.
Fifty meters away.
The broken jar shot into the bodies of the surrounding Mongolians like shrapnel.
Looking from the sky, on the outside of the city wall, flaming fireballs rose up one after another, and the earth was shaking. The dense clusters were like flat carpets, and countless large holes appeared after being blown up.
The pressure on the entire city wall dropped suddenly. The people in front were shot and stabbed to death by the soldiers on the wall. The team behind them could not keep up. These herdsmen had seen such a violent explosion, and the cavalry behind them could no longer restrain them.
He made a large U-turn and ran back.
Some cavalrymen rushed forward and hacked to death some who were running back, while others swung their whips. But everything had no effect, and they collapsed.
These violent explosions caused them to have a nervous breakdown. In their opinion, the cavalry was far less terrifying than the explosions in front of them. The cavalry could kill a few, but the explosions in the back cleared everything within a radius of more than thirty meters at once.
people.
The rising fireball swept away the porcelain shards and the iron filings wrapped around the gunpowder. All living things would be blown into a pile of rotten flesh, flying everywhere.
Yang Fan saw that these herdsmen and militiamen had collapsed. He ordered: "Open the steel plates of the city wall, push the shields and cannons, and the infantry and spear formations will follow and rush out."
Following Yang Fan's order, all the steel plates of the city wall were flipped upwards, and the sword and shield soldiers rushed out shouting while pushing their shields. The artillery soldiers pushed the small five general cannons and Franco machine guns mounted on the gun mounts and wheels, and trotted to follow.
go ahead.
Pikemen in a phalanx of hundreds of households followed the charge like a tide. The steel crossbowmen kept firing arrows to the left and right of the shield.
The herdsmen and militiamen in front have fled and dispersed. Without human organization, the leader can't find his subordinates, and the subordinates can't find their leader. People are running around everywhere.
The cavalry who had withdrawn to rest had to come up again to try to stabilize the situation.
However, they soon discovered that this was all in vain, because the herdsmen rushing over like a tide dispersed their team.
The herdsmen fled, and the cavalry collided directly with the rushing Beijing camp.
This time, the cavalry had no speed and were immediately at a disadvantage.
The shield soldiers were eleven people per Xiaoqi. Under the command of Xiaoqi, four people pushed the spiked shields and ran forward. In this case, this was not a shield. This was clearly a Semen knife cart. Those thirty
The centimeter-long steel spurs were a great threat to the war horses, and the war horses hid on both sides.
The Mongolian cavalry was scattered and unable to form an array. The pikemen behind the shields formed a wedge formation according to the small flags and bravely penetrated the cavalry group.
For a time, the entire battlefield was completely disrupted. There was no longer the normal battle front between the two sides in this era. It became a situation where countless small groups were fighting in front, left and right.
Taking this form, whether it was Yang Fan, Zhang Shize, or Jiang Bingzhong, they were all sweating. This time it was like the rookies in his Beijing camp fell directly into the enemy's formation. They were forced to use the formations they had trained during this period to
Infantry fights cavalry.
This battlefield is narrow and the cavalry cannot maneuver. This is one of the reasons why Yang Fan dared to do this.
Yang Fan is well aware of the principle that kindness cannot lead an army. If Jingying cloth is burned three times in the fire and soaked in cold water three times, it will not be beaten into a good piece of steel.
At this time, the small flags automatically formed a pentagonal formation, with shields and swordsmen protecting them on all sides, and spearmen stabbing on all sides.
If they are pure spearmen, they will form a rhombus array, hand their backs to their comrades, and stab the enemy with two or three layers of spears.
The Mongolian cavalry was completely cut off and lost its line. However, they did not panic. They were also familiar with scattered cavalry fighting.
As soon as the Mongols were able to form a group, the Fo Lang machine cannon and the five general cannons on the arrow tower opened fire immediately.
Jirigala desperately used the bends to chop the spears that were thrust towards him, trying to cut off the spear shafts. However, he cut so hard that sparks erupted, and he did not cut off any of the spear shafts. He looked anxiously with his slender eyes and discovered these
Damn the Ming army, they really have no shortage of iron. The barrel of the gun barrel is two feet long, and the gun head is three feet long.
What's even more hateful is that there is a hook at the bottom of the gun head.
His companion Burigude was not careful and was caught off his horse by a hook. If he fell off his horse in such a chaotic battlefield, he would only be trampled to death.
Huang Taiji's face turned pale. Standing at this relatively high position, he could clearly see from the archery tower that after the cavalry and the infantry from the Beijing camp were locked in a stalemate, a steady stream of infantry arrays were forming behind the city wall made of steel plates.
It surges out. It seems to have no end.
Yang Fan began to put all his main forces into it.
How many people are there in the Beijing Camp? Eighty thousand!
This terrifying number became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"We are defeated, let's retreat." Daza seemed to be discouraged all of a sudden. Tumut's remaining cavalry could not retreat now, and was completely immersed in the sea of infantry. Those who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood
Some of the soldiers from the Beijing camp had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall and began to shoot at the city wall.
Tumut's more than 20,000 cavalry were scattered into small groups, some with hundreds of people, some with only dozens of people. They were completely trapped in the cluster of Beijing camp. They were struggling and fighting desperately.
Once the cavalry lost speed and was surrounded by infantry, it would only be a matter of time before they were destroyed. The reason why they could persist was because the Beijing camp lacked combat experience. This was their first bloody battle with the cavalry.
Wu Ya'er Huntaiji turned his head and glared at Daza. He said in a cold voice: "The Alxa people are not in the habit of retreating before fighting."
"Then what should we do now?" Daza was completely helpless at this time. These cavalry were the last strength he had." He just wanted to escape and go back to his Linhe City. After all, that was his territory.
Wu Ya'er Huntaiji broke an arrow angrily and threw it to the ground.
"I took my eight thousand cavalry, went around from the east, and raided the back of the Beijing camp. Defeated them. Even if I couldn't turn defeat into victory, I could still pull out the Tumut cavalry.
