Moreover, the Western Xia reserve force and main army
They were also separated from the vanguard who were charging forward.
They couldn't stabilize the situation in time once signs of defeat appeared.
This was tantamount to feeding the Ming army with oil.
But Li Renyi had no other choice.
If he piles it all up at once,
It is highly likely that tens of thousands of troops will be routed.
It would be nice to have a shield car.
They pushed the shield cart forward slowly.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon is divided into direct fire and indirect fire.
Maximum range is three to four hundred meters.
Its effective range is only two to three hundred meters.
This is for launching iron bullets the size of a fist.
To demonstrate the power of shotgun shells,
It still needs to be placed within 100 meters.
The optimal range for firing shotgun shells is 50 to 60 meters.
Wear cotton armor for distances over 100 meters.
Even if hit by shotgun shells,
It is also highly likely that they will be injured but not killed.
Such a trash cannon,
Even resisting cavalry alone would be difficult.
It also needs to be used in conjunction with other ranged weapons.
As long as there is a shield carriage
The tiger crouching cannon is bound to be used blindly.
More powerful field artillery is needed.
However, Li Renyi did not have a shield carriage.
There wasn't even a cotton-padded jacket!
Ding Zhongyi advised, "Commander, this kind of fighting won't work."
"Either retreat and consolidate, or commit the entire army forward,"
"Hesitating and considering all options, he only sent out a few thousand soldiers."
"This is sending them to their deaths!"
Li Renyi said, "Those guys in front were all hitting your son."
"If you die, you die."
"From now on, we can arrest Han people."
"Let them try it first,"
"If it works, send in a strong army."
"If it collapses at the first touch, then we'll have to find another way."
Ding Zhongyi said, "It is true that your son is Han Chinese."
"But they are, after all, soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"If they suffer a crushing defeat, won't the Capture the Life Army be afraid?"
"Morale is plummeting, even if the enemy doesn't have divine cannons,"
"This war can't continue."
"so what should I do now?"
"Send more soldiers to press forward,"
"And then they were completely routed?"
Li Renyi said dejectedly.
"Retreating is not an option; the enemy keeps firing at us."
"Sooner or later they'll take over all our camps."
"Can you take the supplies with you and evacuate the camp?"
"By then, even if the enemy doesn't pursue us,"
"We have no choice but to return the supplies from Jisang,"
"The grain depots along the way are barely enough to support our withdrawal!"
Ding Zhongyi said, "If we commit the entire army, we can still fight."
"Commander, your attack is doomed to failure!"
They were probably disgusted by the Ming army's fighting style.
The two Tangut generals beside him also said, "Commander, fight to the death!"
"Let your son take the hits in front,"
"We followed closely behind with the Life-Capturing Army."
Even if your son is defeated and routed,
"We can also fight our way through the routed soldiers."
This situation also exists.
Tangut soldiers often used Zhuang Linglang as cannon fodder.
Chapter 1728 Defeated Soldiers!!!
Since they are cannon fodder
Defeat is commonplace.
True Tangut soldiers,
You won't see your son get hurt.
He was so frightened that he fled as well.
They would even form ranks to drive away and kill fleeing soldiers.
To prevent fleeing soldiers from breaking through their own formation.
But all of this is predicated on…
Don't let your son collapse too quickly.
Don't let the entire vanguard collapse and flee instantly—in the field battle outside the city of the Southern Army,
The entire vanguard collapsed instantly upon impact with your son.
This caused chaos among the Tangut soldiers in the rear.
At the urging of the Tangut generals,
Li Renyi finally decided to fight to the death.
Thousands of young men are still ahead.
But the Tangut army that captured the dead followed closely behind.
Li Renyi's central army also advanced as a whole.
The Western Xia troops on both sides attacked the mountain like madmen.
"The Western Xia commander is going all in!"
Yang Zhi smiled, holding up the binoculars.
He has driven his enemies mad.
But then they saw the young men who had been rammed ahead.
We set off with trepidation.
The shaman could boost the morale of the Tangut soldiers.
But it had no effect on these men bumping into your son.
They were convinced that the Ming army was protected by ghosts and gods.
How can a mortal body contend with ghosts and gods?
The battle hasn't even started yet.
It stems from the fear of the unknown.
The boy was already thinking about running away when he bumped into his son.
As a Han Chinese soldier who was born a serf,
The only belief that sustained them in continuing the fight was...
It means being able to survive after this battle.
Since his life might be in danger,
Then what's the point of fighting?
Fortunately, the two sides were getting closer and closer.
The Ming army's cannons remained unfired.
The young men began to fantasize that ghosts and gods would no longer protect their enemies.
The front lines of both sides were seventy or eighty paces apart.
The drumbeats from the Western Xia side grew increasingly rapid.
The flag command also spurred the chargeers to accelerate.
When the vanguard was more than ten paces apart,
The pursuing troops also came within sixty paces.
They then began hurling arrows at the Ming army's main formation.
Yang Zhi waved his command flag,
More than a thousand muskets fired simultaneously.
Javelin and arrows were also fired.
And the tiger-squatting cannon on the hilltop
But from a high vantage point,
All of them were aimed at the enemy troops in the rear.
The moment the long-range firepower was unleashed,
The Ming infantry charged in a collective attack.
It crashed violently into the Western Xia vanguard, which was more than ten paces away.
The charge of the Ming infantry.
Its power is in no way inferior to that of firearms.
The young man was struck by a volley of over a thousand musket shots at close range.
