If you need to kill the enemy from a long distance, joining the musketeers without taking part in close combat means that their lives will not be threatened.
It is with such an optimistic attitude that only a few days of training can the Mongols complete a series of loading and firing on the battlefield without falling into chaos.
And the direct fact that the flower bombs attacked the tiger and leopard army tells them that the musketeers should also face the death threat at any time, and the death will come to them in the bloody battlefield, otherwise the hundreds of musketeers around them will not become corpses in front of themselves.
In this case, the death threat only loses one tenth of the total strength, and the musketeers directly become panic. At this moment, the optimism has been covered by anxiety and worry.
The mentality of the Mongols, who have not mastered the muskets in their hands for a long time, has affected the horses to become in a hurry.
The second round of flowering bullets fired by the Tiger and Leopard Army has not yet come to their heads. The lead bullets they fired have been almost half missing unconsciously. More importantly, the dull guns have just been ringing. At this moment, it has become very messy like setting off firecrackers, and there is no three-stage shooting.
This result is definitely very beneficial to the defenders.
Just now, I was able to lie on the battlements and hide from shooting outside the city. Tiger and Leopard troops shot lead bullets at the city wall with Mongolian musketeers. Even limited lead bullets were not fired at all because of the musketeers’ panic. When I was completely at ease, I was afraid to shoot lead bullets outside the city with a more accurate marksmanship.
So there is such a scene on the battlefield.
Tiger and leopard troops attacked the Mongols outside the city in rounds of mortars, and two thousand musketeers were blown to the ground in pieces, and the remaining musketeers became more and more chaotic than forgetting to suppress the wall.
On the other hand, the tigers and leopards who defended the city walls became more and more brave.
Round after round, lead bullets were fired to harvest all the Mongols outside the city who wanted to get close to the wall.
Of course, the walls keep ringing like beans, and grenades with white smoke are constantly being thrown at the walls to kill Mongols who have escaped lead bullets …
The muskets are far away, grenades are near, and dozens of mortars are added to cover them … The Mongols who rushed to the wall were killed almost as much as they came …
Soon the ground outside the city was red with blood and covered with a thick layer of bodies.
But surprisingly, even though the Mongols knew that continuing to attack would mean dying, they still waved their weapons and rushed to Dingbian County as usual.
Because they rushed through Dingbian County, they had a chance to save their own people from the Tiger and Leopard Army.
If you can’t rush to Dingbian County, your own people will be slaughtered by the Tiger and Leopard Army, then you might as well die outside Dingbian City.
Facing the death, there are more than 1000 Mongols left outside the city, and they have not shown the slightest retreat.
Looking at the outside of the city, the Mongols who are not afraid of death have been sticking to the towers, the tigers and leopards, and the muskets have been laughing.
Since the Mongolian musket team was suppressed by mortars outside the city, this attack of the Mongols has become a form of death. The more they kill the Mongols themselves, the closer they are to destroying their goals. Of course, they will be taken out of Dingbian County and a musket camp will be more secure.
However, this picture can be shaped in one word for Dourgen outside the city, that is, sadness.
Chapter three hundred and thirty-one’ cannon group’ deter the enemy
Although the fighting capacity of Mongolian fighters is not as good as that of the late Jin warriors, due to the heavy losses in two consecutive battles against the Tiger and Leopard Army, Dourgen had to fill these Mongolian cavalry with white flags as reserve soldiers.
In particular, after several bloody battles, the remaining 10,000 Mongolians, Dourgen, have almost regarded them as their own elite commanders with white flags.
The first thought in Dourgen’s mind is that the plan of restoring the strength and strength of the Mongolian cavalry with the white flag has gradually become out of reach.
But never willing to fail, Dourgen still has a glimmer of expectation in his heart.
In order to keep these reserve soldiers who are about to join the white flag, it is clear that Dingbian County can’t be breached. Dourgen directly shouted
"Retreat ordered the warriors to retreat immediately … continue to attack, except that they can’t get up if they die …"
What makes Dourgen despair is the life of his people. These tribal leaders around Dourgen are ready to disobey orders.
As soon as Dourgen’s order reached a murderous disobedience, Dourgen’s side rang.
"Can’t retreat … want to have a little hope that we will all cross Dingbian County and return to Mongolia to save our people from the butch army …"
"To lose people, we will become ethereal and lose the meaning of living and going …"
"Even today, we can’t stop this attack outside the border town …"
At this time, Dourgen’s face has become very gloomy because of the direct disobedience of these leaders.
However, Dourgen obviously underestimated the determination of these Mongolians to return to Mongolia
Just as he was about to order Pro-Wei to take these tribal leaders, a tribal leader walked up to him.
Pulling out his sabre, he said, "Lord Baylor, please forgive my slave’s disobedience … I will not only stop attacking, but also lead the remaining warriors of the tribe to continue attacking Dingbian County in front of me … This is not only for my own people, but also for the warriors …"
With that, the tribal leader jumped on a horse and rushed to the position of the soldiers.
Dourgen’s stunned eyes stared at more than 1000 Mongolians directly jumping on horses, just like a gust of wind waving weapons and rushing to the battlefield in full swing.
The participation of more than 1,000 Mongols has pushed the Mongolian front forward by more than ten steps
However, the dense attack formation of Chengtou Tiger and Leopard Army was once again blown to pieces by a Grenade explosion.
In an instant, thousands of Mongols fell to the battlefield again.
Not only that, but even Dourgen attached great importance to two thousand musketeers’ mortars, and he also paid half the price in the round after round of indiscriminate bombing.
With less than a thousand people left, the musketeers have completely forgotten that they have directly turned into a frightened rabbit and started running around the battlefield.
At this time, not only the eyes of several tribal leaders around Dourgen became red because of the tragic battlefield.
The future dourgen with white flags directly took advantage of these tribal leaders’ lack of attention when decisively ordering pro-guards to take these people and then picking up the flag and ordering.
"Baylor will make all the attacking troops retreat and we will withdraw from Jingbian County to Mongolia …"
The loss of tribal leaders, plus the threat of the elite with white flags, made the Mongols attached to Dourgen, the commander of Dourgen, so there were 6,000 Mongols left. Although they were full of unwillingness and doubt about Dourgen’s command, they still had to choose to withdraw their troops from the horse before the force.
But let dourgen didn’t think that when he reached the withdrawal order, a pair of eyes were staring at him through a monocle.
This man is He Guozhong, the commander-in-chief of a musket battalion.
When he saw that the Mongols who suffered heavy losses wanted to escape from the battlefield again, a sneer quickly passed from He Guozhong’s face.
Then he asked the battalion commander of the musket camp around him with a murderous look on his face. "Let’s prepare gifts for the Mongols and the Tatars, Li Yingchang …"
After the musket battalion commander’s face flashed a look full of terror, he replied, "At the end of the royal staff, all the trap departments will be ready according to your orders, just waiting for the Mongols outside Dingbian to trap themselves."
He Guozhong showed a satisfied smile on his face and then continued to order, "That’s good … the Mongols are going to retreat. They ordered the brothers who defended the mountain passes to prepare for the battle."
If such a large cavalry team wants to leave Dingbian county as soon as possible and avoid being surrounded, there are three ways for Dourgen to choose the retreat route.
If you want to block Dourgen outside Dingbian City, He Guozhong can do it by relying on a musket battalion in his hand to block the Mongols who want to flee for their lives.
A battalion of musketeers can finally keep one road after one point three, leaving a musketeer team with more than 100 musketeers.
Even if more than 100 musketeers were equipped with later Mao Se rifles, it would be impossible for the field battlefield to stop thousands of cavalry from charging. He Guozhong could never leave the Mongols outside the city by relying on a battalion only by conventional play.
At this time, the artillery carried a large number of medium and light mortar shells, which gave He Guozhong a great inspiration.
The great power and lethality of the battlefield of flowering bombs have brought too much fear to these Mongols.
If these Mongolians who are ready to retreat know that their retreat road has been arranged by the Tiger and Leopard Army with dozens of mortars that can fire flowering bombs, will these Mongolians dare to retreat from this road?
The answer is that they must have personally experienced the great power of flower bombs. Mongolians absolutely don’t want their bodies to be blown apart by shells, and they can’t even protect a complete body.
But how can the limited mortars make the Mongols feel that the artillery units of Tiger and Leopard Army have a large number of mortars in front of them?
He Guozhong’s mind immediately came up with a bold and very primitive method.
