Gyllenhae was really not disappointed. The thousand cavalrymen were reimbursed before the gunmen of the Ming army had finished shooting. The battlefield was full of casualties of cavalry, and the bodies of the horses and horses almost filled the way of the soldiers of Tongyu.
At the same time as the cavalry were casualties, the Ming army’s mountain artillery did not stop for a moment. All the bombs were projected to the Dongyu infantry behind. There were too many infantrymen. As long as the bombs were not outrageous, they would bloom in the infantry group.
Gyllenhae was most concerned about the cavalry at the forefront. When the last cavalry fell, he had a faint feeling: it's over, so is the battle over
Gillenhai thought hard, and suddenly he discovered that all the cavalrymen were killed because there was no bunker in front of them. With the help of hillsides and city walls, the Ming army's flintlocks would not be so unscrupulous.
Now the infantry is in the footsteps of the infantry, and after the flint-shot attack, it is the flintlock of the Ming army.
Will the infantry be wiped out
Jilenhai was not reconciled. He hasn't really fought a battle with the Ming army until now. Could it be that Dongyu's last army will be ruined in his hands
He is worthy of being the most outstanding general of the Dongyu Army. At this moment of life and death, he finally thought of a way to deal with the Ming Army. "The order is passed on, and the corpses of the horses are collected and used as a shelter for the soldiers to hide behind and shoot arrows." Lun Hai didn't believe that the Ming army was all fought with iron. Could their blue costumes stop Dong Yu's sharp arrows
The Toungoo infantry, who was close to the flintlock range, began to clean up the corpses of war horses on the road. They piled up in front of them. They prepared to hide behind the corpses and use their sharp arrows to deal with the Ming army.
The gunmen of the Ming Army suddenly discovered that in front of them, the soldiers of Toungoo were hiding behind the corpses of the horses. Their flintlocks had lost their target. The bullets of the flintlocks were not enough to penetrate the corpses of the horses, and then went into Dongyu. Inside the soldier.
However, the soldiers of Tongyu were unable to shoot arrows at the Ming army for the time being. The place where the horse fell was the range of the flintlock rifle, which was still out of the range of the bow and arrow.
Gillenhai also discovered this problem. Although the soldiers of Toungoo had reduced their losses, they still could not attack the Ming army, unless the body of the horse was moved forward so that the soldiers of Toungoo could enter the range of the bow and arrow.
If there is hope, there is motivation. Gillenhai soon came up with a solution. This solution is actually very simple. It is to build another corpse pile in front of the corpse pile, so that the Dongyu Army will be closer to the Ming Army. Repeated several times, you will enter the range of the Toungoo Archer.
The Ming army discovered Gillenhae's attempt. When the Dongyu soldiers built the corpse wall, the flintlocks gave up the salvo and instead used bursts. As long as the Dongyu soldiers showed their heads, they would use flintlocks to serve.
After paying some casualties, the Dongyu soldiers finally set up a corpse wall bunker. They began to hide behind the bunker and greet the Ming army with bows and arrows.
The battlefield entered the stage of mutual shooting between the two sides, but the soldiers of Toungoo were protected by a corpse wall, and the Ming army was completely exposed under the bows and arrows of the soldiers of Toungoo.
Bows and arrows fly to the gunmen of the Ming army like snowflakes in the sky, but if Toungoo soldiers dare to show their heads, they will be hit by flintlock guns. Most of them use blind shooting, and the hit rate is left to the Buddha.
The gunmen of the Ming army stood too close, even if they shot blindly, the casualty rate was not low.
Continuously hitting arrows, falling down, and being carried to the rear, the Ming army began to suffer a lot of casualties.
Zheng Xing was angry: "How can these damn Dongyu army hide behind the corpse? If they have the ability, they will come out to die!"
Of course Gillenhai would not let his soldiers die. He finally saw the casualties of the Ming army. Although the casualties were much smaller than his expectations, he still saw hope and the hope of defeating the Ming army. Maybe in the next quarter of an hour, The Ming Army couldn't hold it anymore.
Zheng Xing was indeed bloody, seeing the soldiers being carried to the rear continuously, he was anxious to rush up by himself.
Impulse alone cannot solve the problem. The key is calmness. Zheng Xing has repeatedly reminded himself: calm, calm, and be calm!
But now it's enthusiastic. Since it's not cold, how can you calm down
"Master, what should I do?"
When Zheng Xing was asked by the soldiers, he suddenly thought of a solution: "Mountain cannon, use the mountain cannon to destroy Dongku's corpse!"
"Master, the mountain artillery is too close to the corpse pile, the artillery fire can't hit the corpse pile!"
"Fool, the mountain artillery is so light and can't move its position?" Zheng Xing was annoyed. He had never seen such a stupid soldier.
"Yes, Master, I understand." The soldier who was scolded was not angry. Instead, he was triumphant, "Tungoo's bastards, wait. Lao Tzu will make you look good now."
The mountain artillery is light. The gunner moved the mountain artillery to the side and rear of the position. The muzzle was aimed at the corpse bunker of Toungoo soldiers.
"Boom... Long..."
"Boom... Long..."
"Boom... Long..."
…
The Dongku soldiers who were shooting their bows and arrows could not have imagined that they were still hitting the infantrymen behind them. They would fall by their side at this time. Before the shrapnel came over, the bows and arrows in their hands were so scared that they did not know where they were thrown.
When the fragments and shock waves of the bombardment arrived, not only the bodies of the Dongyu soldiers, but also the warhorse were in shattered pieces. Even if the soldiers of Tongyu did not die under the bombardment bombs, they would be exposed to the flintlocks of the Ming army!
When the Ming army gunmen saw such a situation, how could they let go of the opportunity? The exposed Toungoo soldiers were immediately beaten into a sieve by a large number of blooming bullets.
Zheng Xing was happy to watch, and couldn't help shouting: "Just like this, play well, let's see where your **** Dongyu soldier hides!"
Gillenhai had a black line on his face: "Damn, Ming Jun."
"General, what should I do?"
"What else can I do? Collect the corpses of the horses, there are so many Ming troops, kill one and one less."
Toungoo soldiers collected the corpses of the war horses again, but the corpses of the war horses had been blasted to tears by the bomb bombs. They simply used the soldiers’ corpses, and the wounded war horses wandering nearby were also killed by the soldiers. , As a shelter for their lives.
Throughout the afternoon, the two sides made a fuss about the Dongyu Army Corpse Wall Bunker. The Corpse Wall was continuously blown up and rebuilt. Every time the Corpse Wall was blown up, the soldiers hiding behind would be shot and killed by the Ming Army. It was exhausted, but once the corpse wall was built, the Ming army would be shot and killed by the archers of Dongyu.
Such consumption is unacceptable to both parties.
At sunset, the two sides seemed to have reached an agreement. Toungoo soldiers stopped the attack and the Ming army stopped firing flower bombs.
The southern bank of the Jelai River temporarily recovered its tranquility, but the Jelai River was already scarred. Not only was its embankment battered and the river water was stained blood red, only the fishes that were looking for food at night looked extremely excited.
As night fell, Zheng Xing and Ji Lunhai both had unintentional dinners, and the darkness gave them plenty of time to prepare.
Zheng Xing watched what the soldiers of the Ming army were busy behind, and always gave pointers.
"Master, the soldiers of Toungoo are out."
"Where did they go?" Zheng Xing did not look up.
"Tongyu soldiers went to the place where the war horse corpse was."
"Are Dongyu soldiers cleaning the corpse of the horse?" Zheng Xing glanced at the darkness ahead, but it was dark in front of him, and nothing could be seen.
"Tongyu soldiers not only piled up the corpses of the centaurs and horses, but also dug soil under these corpses."
"Digging? Is it digging a trench?" Zheng Xing closed his eyes, and he could think of Jilunhai's triumphant look.
"We dare not get too close, we can't see clearly in the dark, we should be digging trenches."
Zheng Xing thought for a while, and felt that he was doing the right thing tonight, "Watch out and guard against the Dongyu Army stealing the camp at night."
"Yes, Master."
The day began, and the battle started again. Using the corpses and trenches of the horses and horses, the Tongyu Army withstood the flintlocks of the Ming Army.
However, the temperature was too high and the corpse began to deteriorate and gave off a pungent odor. Toungoo soldiers often had to use the time between shooting arrows to spit fiercely, or cover their nostrils with their hands, to barely avoid the odor from the corpse.
The Ming army’s mountain artillery blasted the corpse to pieces, which intensified the spread of odor.
Compared with the stench from the corpse, the casualties of the soldiers are what the leaders of both sides worry about the most. Both sides have casualties.
Now the Dongyu Army has double cover of corpses and trenches, with much fewer casualties than the Ming Army.
Zheng Xing couldn't hold on anymore.
The first row of gunmen of the Ming army retreated from both sides to a hundred paces away and re-arranged the defensive formation. Then the gunmen of the second and third rows also retreated and lined up behind the gunmen of the first row.
Jilunhai was dumbfounded. The Ming army's retreat increased the distance between the two sides. The flintlock could still strike the Dongyu army, but the bows and arrows of the Dongyu soldiers could no longer reach the Ming army.
The Ming army once again occupied the advantage in range.
When digging the trenches last night, Jilunhai did not expect that the Ming army would retreat. In his impression, the Ming army had never retreated. This retreat posed a problem for the Dongyu army. To kill the Ming army, Dongyu The army must jump out of the trenches and pursue them on the ground without bunkers.
Gyllenhae fought out.
He ordered the soldiers to lie down on the ground and crawl forward slowly, so that the area exposed under the Ming Army's flintlocks was much smaller.
The bullets and flintlocks kept on for a while. After handing over a large number of corpses, the Toungoo soldiers finally moved forward for more than 20 steps, and the new corpses became a new bunker for the Toungoo Army.
Crawling slowly, with huge casualties.
The Tongyu Army paid a huge price to eliminate the gap in the range of firearms with the Ming Army.
Seeing that Dongyujun received a large number of corpses, Ji Lunhai went crazy in a hurry, but Zheng Xing was not in a hurry.
Zheng Xing's solution was to retreat again. The only two rows of gunmen on the battlefield retreated a hundred paces away, and the soldiers on both sides were completely out of contact.
Gillenhai finally saw the Ming army’s defeat. He divided his troops into two and continued to chase the retreating Ming army. Another one thousand troops were sent to the side to attack the Ming army’s mountain artillery positions. After the Ming army’s mountain artillery was released, the Dongyu soldiers would no longer be hit by the Ming army from a long distance.
