Chapter 177 Firepower is Justice
The morning light is like a sword, passing through the clouds and shining on the earth, causing all the dewdrops in the morning to be cut off in a matter of seconds, leaving no trace of moisture hanging on the top of the grass. .
Tuo Tuo prepared his six thousand elite cavalry, and it was already the appointed time to charge.
Sitting on a high horseback, Tuotuo drew out the scimitar in his hand and finally encouraged his soldiers.
“Tumote warriors, ahead is the treasure house of Mingren! The Great Khan sent us as the vanguard to give us the first achievement! For the sake of the Great Khan, for the tribe, and for ourselves, kill them all The Ming army in front robbed their treasure house and their wealth. Return to the grassland and become a rich and legendary hero!”
Tuotuo loudly encouraged his soldiers, arousing their emotions to the highest level. Moreover, his words of encouragement did not contain any nonsense. He simply and directly pointed out the benefits of this battle, making all the soldiers aware of it. This battle is for yourself.
As long as the Ming army in front can be eliminated, Ming people's treasure house and Ming people's wealth will be in their pockets, and will also be the basis of their future wealth.
So at this moment, the cavalry vanguard of 6,000 people couldn't help but let out an excited howl like a wolf. Their voices resounded through the sky and were transmitted far and wide, even if they were waiting on the other side of the river. Huang Jin, Feng Bao and others also heard it clearly.
After listening to the excited howls of the Tatar bandits on the other side, Huang Jin smiled and said to Feng Bao: "When they rush into the artillery range later, the screams will be louder than now."
Feng Bao, who was still nervous at first, laughed when he heard what Huang Jin said, "What the godfather said is that his son will blow them up until they cry for father and mother, and let the godfather harvest them properly." The dog’s head!”
Huang Jin chuckled, "Go quickly. Don't stand here anymore. Our family also needs to exercise."
Feng Bao immediately bowed and then arrived at the high ground where the firearms soldiers were. , in addition to artillery pieces, there are many types of firearms here, as well as a salvo weapon called "Swarm of Bees", which looks a bit like the Katyusha rocket launcher of later generations.
This kind of weapon has been used in the early Ming Dynasty. However, due to technical limitations, its firepower and power have never been fully utilized, so it has gradually been eliminated. .
But Zhu Zaijing admired the design of "Yiwofeng" very much, so he made a lot of suggestions and asked the craftsmen to work overtime to improve the old version of "Yiwofeng" and increase its performance and power. to a level.
Of course, it also has a significant shortcoming, that is, the reloading is too slow. Once fired once, it takes a long time to prepare to reload a new rocket.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing's requirements for this salvo weapon called "Swarm of Bees" are not high. He just wants them to output a round of crazy output. As long as they can complete the complete coverage of firepower in the first time, even if the King of Heaven comes, I had to kneel down and call daddy.
And this is what Zhu Zaijing said, "Firepower is justice"!
He wants everyone to clearly realize that "the times have changed"! Future wars will only rely more and more on firepower. Whoever has greater firepower and fiercer firepower will be the king of this world!
Huang Jin got on his horse and looked back at the three thousand cavalrymen who were ready to swoop into the dry river in front of him at any time. He was also filled with excitement.
Huang Jin shouted loudly: "Soldiers, this will be the last battle! The Tatar bandits invaded my land, killed my people, raped and plundered, and committed all kinds of evil. Our battle is not for others, We are fighting for the family behind us. If we take a step back, our family will be in great danger. If we cannot win, our family will die with you! >
Huang Jin finally roared with all his strength: "We must win!"
The three thousand cavalrymen were infected by Huang Jin's emotions, and they all responded emotionally, "We must win! We must win! We must win. Win!”
This belief in victory is like a will that reaches the sky, not only resounding through the sky, but also shocking the earth. All the defenders on the Chaobai River front line were infected with the belief of victory at this moment.
They all believe that under the command of the brave and fearless Marshal Zhu San, this time they will definitely create a new miracle like the previous brother camp!
Tuotuo and the others naturally heard the Ming army's response. At this time, a ferocious and excited smile appeared on Tuotuo's face. "Kill them!"
Tuotuo drew out his scimitar and pointed it straight ahead, giving the order to attack.
The vanguard cavalry team of six thousand people was like thunder, rumbling towards the Chaobai River defense line.
The dry Chaobai River was like their accelerator at this moment, allowing them to charge forward even more quickly when they rushed into the gentle slope of the river.
Feng Bao stared at the Tatar cavalry who had rushed into the river. His nervous palms were all sweaty. This was also the first time he faced such a powerful and numerous enemy.
If he said in his heart that he wasn't nervous or excited, that would definitely be a lie.
“That’s it now!”
Feng Bao watched the charging Tatar vanguard cavalry cross the center line of the river and enter the shooting range of firearms. He took a deep breath and was excited. He shouted: "Let go!"
The firearms soldiers who had been preparing for who knows how long also started to move at this moment. They lit up their own artillery and aimed at the river ahead. The enemy invaders gave the most dazzling and loudest response.
The rays of light from the cannons were like beams of brilliant fireworks, lighting up the whole world in an instant.
The Tatar cavalry who rushed into the river were instantly suppressed by the Ming army's powerful firepower. Their arrogance and marching speed were suppressed. They were all made of flesh and blood. Facing such brutal firepower suppression was the first time in their lives. encounter.
In the past, when they were in trouble on the front line of Xuanda, they also experienced fire attacks from the Ming army. However, the fire power of the Ming army at that time was only sporadic and could not stop their charge at all.
But this time they were frightened. The endless firepower of the Ming army fell from the sky like rain, hitting their heads densely.
Tuotuo, who was still in the rear position, saw the light of firepower suddenly blooming in front of him. He couldn't help but trembled and took a breath!
It’s really terrible!
But soon such ferocious firepower finally stopped. Tuotuo thought that the defensive Ming army's firepower had been released. He excitedly raised his scimitar: "Continue to charge, the Ming army's firepower has been deceived by us." ! Victory belongs to us!"
When Tuotuo said this "liar", his heart was actually shaking, because he knew very well how many cavalrymen had just rushed into the river, and these people obviously didn't hold up. They were all completely killed by this overwhelming firepower.
Now that the firepower of the Ming army has stopped, it means that the firepower of the previous Ming army has been exhausted. It is obviously not consistent with common sense to want to fire another round of such a salvo of firepower.
Because as a veteran who had fought against the Ming army for a long time, Tuotuo was very aware of the shortcomings of the Ming army's firearms, that is, they were slow! By the time they were ready for the second round, the cavalry was ready to get in their faces.
So Tuotuo felt that this was an opportunity. As long as he rushed over and rushed into the Ming army's firearms position, the Chaobai River defense line would be broken through.
