Chapter 3165 Zhao Yuan's Fans
The Jin cavalry were deployed too loosely.
The Ming army's artillery was too lazy to fire.
Even shotgun shells wouldn't have much effect.
Horse archery from thirty or forty paces away.
Even armor-piercing arrows,
Its power is also very small.
The Ming soldiers were unable to inflict effective casualties on the armored soldiers.
The Ming army's crossbows were at this distance.
However, it is more powerful than a horse bow.
If hit by a musket
Then I won't say anything more.
They exchanged shots for more than ten minutes.
Not a single Ming soldier was killed in action.
However, over a hundred people were injured by arrows.
The Jin cavalry
However, hundreds were injured.
Dozens more died in battle.
Wanyan Zonghan felt extremely aggrieved.
He ordered the cavalry to charge closer before firing.
Because they could charge and shoot on horseback within fifteen paces.
The power will become greater than when shooting arrows while standing.
It contains very scientific physical rules.
One after another, Jin cavalrymen,
Arranged in a sparse formation, several meters apart,
They took turns rushing to the front of the chariot formation to shoot arrows at close range.
The Ming army's cannons finally fired.
Triple firepower: bows and crossbows, muskets, and cannons.
All artillery pieces fired grapeshot.
Fire at a distance of forty or fifty paces.
Some Jin cavalry charged within fifteen paces.
They did indeed inflict casualties on the Ming army with armor-piercing arrows.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Ming soldiers had been hit by arrows.
Several even collapsed and died on the spot.
But the Jin cavalry suffered even greater casualties.
Most of them only made it halfway.
Both the man and the horse collapsed.
It would be a miracle if they could even get through.
Qi Jiguang used this mixed formation of cold and hot weapons plus wagons.
The troops trained in Jizhou were so effective that the Mongol cavalry dared not venture south for twenty years.
That's no longer about how many Mongols were killed.
Instead, the Mongols were so badly defeated that they simply stopped coming.
He had absolutely no desire to confront Qi Jiguang.
Wanyan Loushi wore an expression that said, "I knew this would happen."
"Arrows are useless; we must charge in."
"But a forced charge would kill many people,"
"And they might not even be able to break through the chariot formation,"
“I already tried it last year.”
"We'll charge, no matter how many die!"
Wanyan Zonghan remained stubborn.
The trap is set, and the prey is caught.
But this prey was too fierce.
The hunter was torn apart and covered in wounds.
The hunter is now prepared to fight to the death.
This was the first time Yue Fei had ever been among the chariots.
Last year, Zhao Yuan personally led the troops.
Meanwhile, they sent troops to attack the city.
They used a vehicle formation for defense.
This kind of play sounds outrageous.
No matter which general leads the troops...
They dared to set up camp directly outside the enemy's city.
They even dared to combine defending the camp with attacking the city!
Even Yue Fei would think this person is mentally ill.
However, Zhao Yuan won.
And they won a great victory.
After that battle,
Yue Fei visited many generals,
For example, Zhang Di, who witnessed the entire battle.
He reviewed and analyzed the situation again and again.
It turned out that the Jin army had no chance of winning.
Because muskets, cannons, and wagon formations are too overpowered.
Unless the Jin soldiers grew wings,
Only then can it fly over those carriages.
Upon learning that this formation was invented by the emperor,
Yue Fei admired Zhao Yuan even more.
They even went so far as to study the emperor's Mandarin Duck Formation.
Those chaotic battle formations of the Song Dynasty,
Yue Fei also read some of it in a cursory manner.
However, he only mastered basic formations.
The other major formations are utter nonsense.
Yue Fei scoffed at him.
Actually, those large formations are quite useful.
It allows military officers to quickly get started.
As long as they don't give bad advice...
Winning the battle may be difficult.
But they certainly won't suffer a complete defeat.
Chapter 3166 Formation!
At this very moment, Yue Fei, who was just beginning to command the chariot formation,
Understanding of vehicle formations...
They are no less capable than any of the allied generals.
He led his troops in the left flank.
They have repelled the Jin army's attacks multiple times.
But then the sound of bugles rang out.
Then more than ten teams of golden cavalry appeared.
They advanced in sparse formations, advancing layer by layer.
Not only Yue Fei, but also
On the other side, Pharmacist Guo and Liu Qi,
The same offensive strategy was employed.
The Jurchens are going to risk their lives!
To avoid musket and cannon fire,
Only the Jin cavalry could form such an extremely rare formation.
The Jin soldiers at the very front,
They were hit by two rounds of crossbow fire, one round of musket fire, and one round of cannon fire.
Of the fifty men who died, only fourteen remained, still moving forward.
But after rushing closer...
These fourteen surviving Jin soldiers,
They were already terrified and dared not charge.
Nine men fired arrows haphazardly before reining in their horses and fleeing sideways.
Only five simpletons dismounted and removed the chains from the van.
The second rank of Jin soldiers
They were about ten paces apart from the Jin soldiers in the front row.
They were "accidentally" wounded by the previous wave of artillery shells and musket fire.
Only thirty-two people survived.
But it kept charging forward.
The archers quickly fired their arrows.
The muskets and cannons were still being loaded.
The rate of fire of the matchlock gun
One shot per minute.
Those who can fire once every 40 to 50 seconds are considered elite.
