Chapter 855

"Shoot!" Yue Yun raised his right hand and swung his sword suddenly. The commander quickly passed his order to every corner of the battlefield. The Song army in the front row immediately pulled the trigger, and the artillery soldiers immediately fired projectiles of different sizes.

"Boom! Bang! Bang!" Countless loud noises sounded from the front of the battlefield at the same time. The Jiannu army who rushed to the front were immediately hit by the blow, and fell down from the formation with their men and horses. Instantly, they were stepped on by friendly troops behind and turned into meat paste. This first wave of launch took at least hundreds of Jiannu's lives.

"The rear army is not allowed to stop. While the Ming army is still loading ammunition, rush in immediately!" Huang Taiji quickly made changes based on the battlefield and Shandong's actions. With his understanding of the Ming army, he knew that there would be a long time to fill the projectiles between each launch. If he could seize this opportunity, he might as well attack the enemy's formation.

Unfortunately, if these experiences were used on the Ming army, they might not have any problems, but now they have already changed their opponents. The training of this Song army is many times more severe than that of the Ming army. In addition, the muskets they used in their hands have long been replaced with fixed-loaded paper shell bullets, and the firing speed is far better than that of the muskets used by the Ming army. The gunfire of the last round almost stopped, and the next round of shooting immediately began, forming a barrage of death in front of the array, which made the attacking Jiannu hit his head full of blood and could not break through their defense at all.

"How could this happen! How could this happen!" The scene in front of him completely overturned Huang Taiji's usual impression of the Ming army. Even the Zhejiang Army he met was not so powerful, right? After Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin, who was the former nephew of Qi Jiguang, commanded the remaining troops of the Qi family army and the Later Jin army of Nurhaci, who fought bloody battles in the Daling River in the Battle of Hunhe, and killed tens of thousands of elite troops of the Qing Dynasty with thousands of musketeers. Later, the Qing Dynasty bought the captured Ming army gunners for a large amount of money and fired guns to bombard the Ming army's positions. The remaining troops of the Qi family army struggled for several days under the bombardment of the traitor artillery team, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, and the entire army was wiped out.

This battle left a deep impression on Huang Taiji, and the army in front of him can be said to be better than the former Qi family army to some extent. How can we not make Huang Taiji feel scared? But he couldn't figure it out now, since the Ming Dynasty had such a powerful army, why didn't he take it out earlier? He had to wait until this time to send it into battle?

However, he didn't know that the Qi family army led by Qi Jin was greatly weaker than when Qi Jiguang was there. At present, this army completely inherited the essence of the Qi family army. Under the leadership of famous generals such as Yue Fei, it continued to improve its tactics, weapons, and training. Its real combat power even exceeded the heyday of the Qi family army. When Qi Jin's remaining soldiers achieved Nurhaci like this, when they met the Song army that was several times better, would there be hope for Jiannu to win?

"Ming Jin to withdraw the troops!" No matter how Jiannu's army launched an attack, he could only hit the head and blood on this steel-made defense line. In a short while, thousands of people fell on the battlefield. Although most of the injured soldiers were the army of Zhenglan Banner, which had always been dissatisfied with him, Huang Taiji still felt heartbroken, because now that Mangourtai is dead, it may not take long for him to include Zhenglan Banner under his direct jurisdiction.

"Khan, the enemy's array is tight. If it attacks hard, it will probably lead to heavy casualties. It's better to transfer all the cannons in Zunhua City to blast them for a while. It's not too late to fight again after breaking their formation." Haoge hurried back and said, "No fighting in the array is the combat idea that the Jurchens have been passed down for a long time, because they know that once the army on the opposite side has a tight formation, it can cause huge casualties to them, and there are too few Jurchens and they cannot afford such losses.

Huang Taiji did not expect that he would encounter any obstacles in this battle, so he did not bring heavy cannons when he left the city to fight, so as not to drag down the speed of the marching. However, it seemed that he had done something wrong now. He remembered the experience of Nurhaci using captured Ming army cannons to break the formation of the Qi family army in the bloody battle of Hunhe, so he immediately agreed to Haoge's suggestion and asked him to take his own men back to Zunhua City immediately and bring out all the cannons that could be fired out.

Since the Ming Dynasty already had such a powerful army, the Jurchens would face the test of the Yan army. If they did not completely defeat this army in this battle, their lives would only be harder and harder in the future. Moreover, he could not withdraw his troops now, because in order to lure Zhu Youjian to command the army in person, he kept his troops from moving forward after conquering Zunhua. He had not snatched much since the break of the pass. If he just went back like this, it would be difficult to survive this winter. Moreover, the Mongols who followed them to make a big profit were nothing. If they went back like this, it would be even more difficult to pull them up next time, so they would have to defeat the army in front of them.

"There is such a strong army in the world, and there is such a strong army." Wang Qia, in the military formation, saw that the charge of tens of thousands of Jiannu was easily beaten back by the Song army, his eyes almost popped out. Today, it really brought him too much stimulation. It was already good that he was not mentally ill.

"Since the array has been set up, not to mention that Jiannu only has 100,000 troops, even if he has 200,000 people, he will not be able to break it?" Zhang Zhiji also recovered from his nervousness. He murmured at the army in front of him. The elites of the Beijing camp behind him also lowered their heads in shame. These people have always regarded themselves very highly and believed that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty could compete with them except for the Xuan army, Guanning army and Baigan soldiers. However, when they saw this Song army, they knew that there was someone outside the world. If it was a contest of the same force, they would not be able to defeat this army no matter what.

"Jiannu seems to be planning to slow down the offensive first?" Li You saw Huang Taiji's plan, but now the initiative on the battlefield is no longer in your hands. If you want to fight, you can stop. How easy it is!

Before Li You could issue an order, Yue Yun had already responded to Jiannu's dynamics. The Song army was holding a musket in front of the front, taking neat steps, and slowly forcing Jiannu with the momentum of Mount Tai to press down on the top.
