The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1312

[1312. Chapter 1248 Massacre]

A battle began soon.

The drunken white bear was ignored.

The mighty Russians set off immediately.

They were afraid of the Mongols hundreds of years ago.

But now, they are regarded as a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Immediately afterwards, Russian scouts began to appear.

This made Wang Shouren a little unbelievable.

Because the other party’s reaction was too fast.

Even if you underestimate the enemy or are arrogant, shouldn’t you first send out troops to spy on your own strength, and then slowly start to observe each other’s opponents, and finally decide whether to join the battle?

But the Ross people’s reaction was completely beyond Wang Shouren’s expectation.

“The Russians are warlike by nature. No wonder the Mongolian tribes are no match for them.”

Wang Shouren commented.

Then, the cavalry began to mount their horses.

The Russians began to line up.

Their horses continued to wander around the coalition forces, provoking, and at the same time, the infantry quickly began to form formations.

Wang Shouren held up his binoculars and looked at the uniform army horses on the white snowfield. He couldn’t help but turn around and said to Xiao Jing: “You are so well trained that you should not underestimate them.”

He frowned.

The new weapons have not yet been fully verified. Although the opponent’s true and false facts are known from the mouths of the defeated soldiers of the Siberian, Astrakhan and Astra tribes, but… after all, this is just a word of mouth. According to legend, it may not be true.

In other words, this is a battle that neither side is sure of, but what is at stake is tens of millions of taels of silver.

Xiao Jing got on his horse. At this moment, he decided to behave like a eunuch. Xiao Jing roared: “Fight with all your strength. Our emperor is waiting for the good news. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, when the time comes, I can’t spare you.”

Wang Shouren mounted his horse, his eyes fixed on the opponent’s phalanx.

The men and horses of the grassland tribes looked at the Russians with some fear.

Apparently, someone was scared.

But… there are still incentives. On the one hand, the students at the military academy are all eager to try. They are mixed into the team and play the role of the backbone.

On the other hand, the rules of the Xingfu Group are that if you want a good life, kill her mother. It is a shameful thing to run away from the battle. Moreover, if they win, they will still have a lot of salt, iron pots, and sweaters. And tea.

“Everyone…check your bomb bays.”

Among the team, the students shouted with due diligence.

Everyone had two short wheeled muskets. Along the way, they had some practice under the guidance of the students, and the cost of learning this thing was extremely low. Everyone took out the runner’s muskets and started examine.

On the opposite side, the Russian cavalry was still provoking, while their infantry had begun to move forward.

The Russians have begun to equip muskets on a large scale.

These advanced matchlock guns customized from the West have powerful firepower.

They can achieve an effective range of fifty steps, and… they are powerful enough to penetrate armor.

And if they shoot in formation, the power is even more amazing.

Andre was in the rear team. He was escorting the team, with excitement in his eyes. It was these damn Mongols again. He killed them all more than a month ago. Unexpectedly, they still dared to show up.

Even though he was excited, Andre was not reckless. The neat infantry marched forward and still maintained their formation.

The first three rows are matchlock soldiers.

At this time, under the wind and snow, the power of the matchlock guns was somewhat inferior, but compared to the Mongolian bows and arrows, they were still confident and had a huge advantage.

The rear row is composed of pikemen. The pikemen protect the flanks and rear…

Now… Let’s begin.

Andre thought this because he saw that on the opposite side… numerous horse teams had begun to move.

The stupid Mongols actually started a Pegasus charge head on.

Anyone who attacks the front of the phalanx equipped with powerful firepower is undoubtedly seeking death.

Andre happily said to the officers around him: “These Mongolians will never learn to take advantage of others.”

“Haha…”

Many people laughed and fell on their backs.

Boom boom… boom boom…

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Shouren took the lead, and Nai Rentai, Zhang Yongren and others no longer hesitated. When they started to take action, the entire coalition cavalry was lined up in a long snake, covering the mountains and plains. Charge towards the phalanx.

Andre’s face was slightly stunned.

What kind of tactics is this.

It seems that the Mongols still know how to be flexible.

The cavalry’s impact depends most on its unrivaled impact.

Therefore, when attacking, they often adopt an arrow formation, with dense cavalry gathering together to tear a hole directly in the opponent’s formation.

But… now, the opponent is lining up to attack.

They did not consider at all that such a tactics would lead to a lack of their impact. This fragmented approach might make the firepower of the arquebusiers insufficient, but… the opponent’s impact would also be weakened. It’s simply not enough to break through the square formation.

Andre was slightly aroused, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

“Get ready!”

someone in the team shouted.

The arquebusiers began to load ammunition. In this snowy weather, they quickly loaded the gunpowder wrapped in moisture-proof kraft paper into the muzzle of the musket.

Then, they skillfully took out the iron bar.

After that, they, who were experienced, used tape strips to compact the gunpowder in the musket barrel.

Then they started loading projectiles.

After that, they began to plug in moisture-proof fuses.

Then they took it out and started preparing for a fire.

They are well trained and are like an efficient war machine.

This powerful matchlock gun, now…finally…its matchlock was ignited.

The match rope is very long so that there is enough time for design preparation.

Sparks were flying from the match rope.

In the first row, three to four hundred outstanding matchlock soldiers had all raised their matchlocks.

The dark muzzles of the guns were aimed at the cavalry all over the mountains and plains.

At this time, the second column had already begun preparations.

After that, there is the third column.

Rumble…Rumble…

Wang Shouren took the lead.

The students from the Military Academy also rushed to the front one by one.

The rapid hooves of the horses also made their hearts beat faster.

The coalition cavalry also began to forget their fear while galloping. At this time, their blood was still boiling.

Finally…in range…

fifty steps!

Andre already knew that he had won. When he survived to the capital, countless noble girls would scream at him, and the grand guild would invite him into his castle, organize a saloon that was beneficial to the body and mind, and let him go. A little blood can catch the wind and wash away the dust for yourself.

“Soldiers, shoot!” There was

a

loud sound of gunfire.

A platoon of matchlocks opened fire.

The entire phalanx queue was filled with smoke.

“Get ready to move forward.”

They could see that many cavalrymen began to fall. There were dozens or even hundreds of them.

This salvo was very successful.

It is simply a model of tactics, enough to leave a mark in textbooks.

A projectile whizzed past Wang Shouren’s ear.

Wang Shouren still rode his horse.

He ignored it.

No matter who fell around him, he was unconscious.

He knew that he was the backbone of everyone. As long as the backbone was still there, then…the cavalry would continue to charge.

Fifty steps…enough!

Although there is snow floating in the sky.

The array in front cannot be seen clearly.

But… the Russians had appeared in front of him in dense numbers.

Wang Shouren did not hesitate and took out a wheel fire gun.

Then…

there is no need to reload gunpowder.

No need to use iron bars.

No need to load pellets.

No need to plug in a match rope either.

Snap…

the first shot is fired!

In front, someone fell down and wailed.

And then, Wang Shouren continued to pull the trigger.

Bang…

The firing pin on the rear seat pierced the gun barrel fiercely, and the wheel rotated accordingly, aiming the new bullet at the firing pin. When the firing pin was installed, gunpowder and mercury exploded, followed by a burst of gunfire. .

Another shot.

Papapa popping popping popping …

At this time, all directions have sounded fire.

Many cavalrymen were a little nervous. After all, it was their first time to use such a thing on the battlefield.

Some people fired six times in a row without hesitation.

The approaching cavalry fired loudly.

This continuous sound of frying beans seems to have no end.

Countless bullets left traces in the wind and snow, and then, bullets came from all directions, shooting down the Russians one by one.

This kind of intensive shooting is extremely terrifying.

Especially when the Russians formed a square formation side by side.

Even a blind man has the possibility of being hit.

Uh…ah…

countless screams came.

One by one, his companions fell miserably in the snow.

The hot blood melts the snow.

But…the gunshots haven’t stopped yet.

The cavalry who arrived later still drew their muskets. They rode horses, wandered outside the phalanx, and continued shooting in the direction of the phalanx.

The cavalry who had finished shooting the first fire cannon still did not rush into the square formation. They also wandered away and took out the second fire cannon that had been loaded with bullets.

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap…

In the snow forest, gunshots were fired, and countless bullets were flying randomly.

The entire square formation was suddenly riddled with holes.

These outstanding Russian soldiers looked at everything in front of them in panic. The first column had almost been shot, and the second column was exposed to the gunfire.

Before they could even raise their matchlocks to fight back, countless bullets shot down most of them, leaving people rolling in the snow on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, this neat square formation turned into a hell on earth.

Chapter 4 delivered.
