Chapter 120: Iron and Firewalk Battle

The sound of horses' hooves began, first scattered in twos and threes, like a delicate and gentle spring rain, but then turned into a summer storm and swept everything with an astonishing momentum. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although there were only more than 100 people, Li Shimin's Xuanjia army was a heavy cavalry with men and horses. Although the armor of this heavy cavalry was not particularly heavy, it was not comparable to the later iron cans in Europe, but it was very frightening in this era.

Pitch-black armor, obscuring cold faces, strong strength and outstanding commanders brought them constant victories. And under the watering of the water of victory, the flower of self-confidence in their hearts has also bloomed more and more brilliantly.

The Xuanjia Army still follows the path of the former Xiaoguo Army, selecting excellent soldiers as strong men, with good soldiers and strong armor, with the best treatment and the most rigorous training to enhance the combat power of the army. Although there are no special requirements, those who can enter the Xuanjia Army are at least at the level of the middle of the day after tomorrow. This is also the backbone of a sect among the Jianghu sects.

With strong personal force and rigorous training, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army had the confidence to fight against grandmaster-level masters with a team of one or two hundred people.

They are sure that they can do the grandmaster, as long as the grandmaster does not escape, then the last thing waiting for the grandmaster is definitely a dead word.

"Grandmasters are no match for us, let alone you groundhogs?" They are confident. It seemed to them that with just one charge, the enemy on the opposite side would be finished.

"They all say that the Wu army in the south is how...... But those didn't meet our Xuanjia riders. Under the charge of our Xuanjia cavalry, nothing can resist. "The Xuanjia soldiers who have been fighting with the northern heroes and defeated Xiliang Xue Ju have this kind of confidence.

Rush up and crush them!

It doesn't take too many people to make it happen.

Although, the people on the other side dug a trench that was not very wide, and pulled thin wires, but what was the use of this?

We can cut the wire with a straight knife in our hands, although there are several layers, but that is only a matter of a few knives.

As for the trenches? Such a narrow trench can be easily crossed, and the other party's trench is only one layer.

It's a little too thin, it seems!

Above!

The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army let out a low shout, shook the reins in their hands, and lightly kicked the horse's belly with their own feet, and the war horse began to accelerate.

Trotting all the way, the speed keeps increasing.

The earth roared, and a hundred Xuanjia soldiers rushed to the front of the barbed wire like a cloud with amazing momentum. The distance between them was only three or four hundred meters, and they passed by in a flash, and it didn't take much time at all.

Almost immediately, they came to the wire. Here they bent down neatly, and with the help of their horses, they struck the wire that stood in front of them with their long knives.

With the sharpness of the long knife, the strength of the internal strength, and the impact of the war horse, the Xuanjia soldiers easily broke through the wire in front of them, but unlike what they imagined, the cut wire was not picked off, but rolled aside, and a small hole was cracked in the middle.

The opening was not large, only two or three inches wide, and it was impossible to pass even a person, let alone pass through a cavalry with equipment.

"It's harder than you expected!" Li Shimin saw it in the back and frowned slightly.

He looked at Zhang Shigui, and Zhang Shigui raised his hand. A loud and dense drum beat sounded in the middle of the formation.

The Xuanjia soldiers who rushed forward immediately restrained their horses and planned to turn around.

And some time ago, the dozen or so people who even led their horses into the barbed wire also paid a lot of pain from being scratched by the wire, and survived this round of collision with the protection of armor and their own strength.

However, their speed at this moment has decreased.

"I want to break my barbed wire fence as easily as that...... How can it be! Seeing that the Xuanjia soldiers wanted to turn around in front of his formation, Li Qin smiled coldly: "If the cavalry has no speed, then he is nothing." Fire! Rapid Shooting...... Give these guys a color and take a look. ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers under Li Qin's command opened fire. Within a one-man high trench, they aimed at the Xuanjia soldiers fifty paces away, and pulled the trigger of the musket in their hands.

Unlike the flintlock muskets of the army, the 300 musketeers who reinforced Luoyang were equipped with lever-type muskets in a small number of Li Qin's army.

This is a rifle with an extremely high rate of fire. With a lower barrel design, one barrel can store 15 round-tipped metal bullets. Since the bullets use the latest fire caps, there is no need to reload the propellant, to the point where the so-called ammunition is integrated.

Because the ammunition is one, the firearm itself only needs to continuously press bullets into the chamber. Li Qin's craftsmen made a simple lever device at the rear of the bolt, so that the soldier only had to pull the lever before pulling the trigger to let the bullet enter the chamber. This undoubtedly greatly simplified the shooting steps and greatly improved the speed at which the soldier fired.

Easily moving through the trenches, Li Qin concentrated all three hundred musketeers on this side of the Xuanjia soldiers. After Li Qin's order, three hundred bullets were fired out at the same time, and they flew towards the Xuanjia soldiers who were trying to reverse the direction in a roar of gunfire.

Countless blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of those soldiers. Whether it is the leather armor on the war horse or the scale armor on the soldier, there is no way to stop a small bullet.

After a few breaths of the first gunshot, the second gunfire followed suit, followed by the third, then the fourth...... It was not until long after the fifth burst of gunfire had passed that no new shots were fired.

Li Qin calmly waved his hand and told his soldiers to stop shooting.

And Li Shimin, Zhang Shigui, and Concubine Xuan looked at the battlefield with wide eyes full of horror, but before they took twenty breaths, a hundred elite Xuanjia cavalry all fell. Blood was flowing on the ground, and although they couldn't see it very clearly because they were wearing black armor, the smell of blood and gunsmoke in the air still made everyone understand what had just happened.

"Hell, what's going on...... A hundred cavalry? Zhang Shigui gritted his teeth, with puzzlement and shock in his eyes.

"Wu's firearms are really unparalleled in the world." Li Shimin's eyes were dignified.

"Just wiped out a hundred cavalry at once? Such a weapon is really ...... It's too cruel, this is simply a special existence for killing......" Concubine Shi frowned tightly: "If such a weapon is lost in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the whole world will be in chaos." Misfortune for everyone......"

"He must be stopped!" The concubine bit her teeth lightly and made up her mind in her heart. She felt that she was all for the well-being of all the people in the world.

"King Qin, what should we do now?" Zhang Shigui asked Li Shimin in a low voice.

"All the troops press! I don't want to be able to kill the other person at once, but at least I should be able to get close to the other person. If you can...... It's even better to get the opponent's musket directly.

Get the musket and study him, such an effective weapon, we Li Tang also need it. Li Shimin quickly made a decision: "Press!" The whole army presses on! If a hundred people can't do it, then a thousand people will go up! I don't believe that this thin direction on the other side can stop our attack. In addition......"

Li Shimin said and turned his head to the concubine beside him: "Master Fairy, if you can, can you notify the master of the Jingnian Zen Monastery now?" The Demon Destroyer Path is the key now, and I can't leave my soldiers alone to take on the enemy's offensive. I think it would be better for my Darkarmor soldiers to attract the enemy's attention in front, and for the Masters to act in the back. ”

"Understood, I'll go tell them." The senior concubine nodded seriously, and drifted away without saying anything more.

Looking at the back of the concubine Xuan, Zhang Shigui asked Li Shimin in a low voice: "King Qin, do you believe in her so much, are you willing to use the flesh and blood of our soldiers as their pioneers?" These religious people are not so reliable. ”

"I know, but it's just taking advantage of each other. This world is always our Li family. Li Shimin said lightly, "There are some things that I can't do, but my father can do it." The power of Buddhism and Taoism in the world is too great, which is not a good thing for us. ”

"I see!" Zhang Shigui's heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head. At this moment, he felt a faint coercion from Li Shimin's body.

"Suddenly...... Wait a minute, you personally lead the charge, pay attention to the rhythm...... Who is the main force and who is the side forward, it is not certain. Zhang Shigui, who lowered his head, heard Li Qin's words ringing softly in his ears.

"King Qin, this ......" Zhang Shigui raised his head in surprise.

"Rhythm, I don't want the Xuanjia soldiers to be damaged by him. It's important to destroy each other, but it's even more important to save our own. Li Shimin said leisurely.

Li Shimin said this sentence very vaguely, but Zhang Shigui could still hear the meaning.

"I understand what the king means." Zhang Shigui nodded heavily.

"Maybe wait, you will be a little wronged, but ......" Li Shimin muttered, his voice slowly becoming smaller, "I hope you can understand." ”

"King Qin...... Rest assured, this is also for Datang! Zhang Shigui shouted, he seemed to understand Li Shimin's distress. At least, on the surface, he is.

The sound of war drums was lit, the roar of the crooked horn was startled, and the war horse carrying the knight galloped, and under the waving of the spear in Zhang Shigui's hand, eight hundred Xuanjia soldiers charged in unison and pressed towards Li Qin's southern position together.

Of course, they are not well-trained, but in the process of running, they are divided into several waves. A platoon of forty or fifty people, drawn into human shape, rushed into the enemy formation like a wave.

Li Qin looked at them coldly as they approached, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Xuanjia soldiers, you really have some ability." ”

This is indeed a strong soldier of this era. It's just that no matter how strong the army of this era is, as long as it fights with its own team head-on, in front of its own well-established position, as long as its ammunition is endless, how much they come is just a dead word.

"It's a collision that is an era ahead." Li Qin shook his head regretfully, and immediately ordered: "Fire!" Take out the cannon for me and fuck it. ”

"Smack...... Syllable...... Syllable! "The fierce gunfire was continuous, and the staggered bullets hit the charging Xuanjia soldiers like flying locusts.

In the face of bullets with strong kinetic energy, armor and armor are actually the same, leather armor and iron armor are also average, and even the latter is not as good as the former.

After all, leather armor is easy to move, and iron armor is too bulky.

Of course, whether it is leather armor or iron armor, as long as it is hit by a bullet, it is all armor breaking, injury, and death.

"Poof...... Burst...... Burst! In the midst of the crisp sound of gunfire, several dull sounds. Li Shimin looked up, but saw several black dots flying into the sky driven by some force. A graceful arc swept through the air, and it fell to the ground with a heavy and gentle fall.

The astonishing explosion started from this, and the strong wind generated by the explosion swept across the area, so that Li Shimin, who was outside Li Xu, couldn't stand on his feet for a while and fell off his horse.

His ears were ringing, his head was dizzy, his pain was a while, and he couldn't react to what was going on for a while.

When the dust had cleared, he noticed that the entire battlefield had become quite quiet, and the five huge craters were quietly staying on the front of the huge impact. The crater was charred black, with faint radial marks inside, and scattered limbs scattered everywhere, all of which belonged to the dark-armored soldiers closest to the explosion site.

As for the farther place, more than 100 Xuanjia soldiers fell to the ground peacefully, with no scars on their faces, but their eyes were closed, as if they were asleep.

Of course, they really can't wake up from this sleep. The violent explosion shattered their bones and cracked their internal organs. Although you can't see anything from the outside, as soon as you move forward, you will find that the bodies of these people are soft and silky.

The Xuanjia soldiers were frightened, they couldn't understand at all, what was the blow they had suffered?

Most of the ancients were superstitious, and soldiers who believed in the existence of ghosts and gods intuitively regarded this as the wrath of the gods.

They cried out and fled in terror. These are fortunate people, because the horses under them can still do their bidding. And those who are fundamentally frightened are much less lucky. They were either dragged down by the war horses, and were trampled into flesh by their comrades after falling to the ground, or they paused in the process of pacifying the war horses, and were killed by Li Qinjun's soldiers with muskets.

The Xuanjia soldiers were defeated.

Even though they were the best soldiers of their time, they still couldn't hold on to such a hard blow.

The frightened soldiers swarmed down from the front, Li Shimin drove the guards to step forward to collect the soldiers, but some soldiers ignored it and fled farther away, while some soldiers tried to resist - those who fled far away, Li Shimin couldn't chase them for a while, but those who tried to resist were all killed by Li Shimin's guards without exception. After some efforts, Li Shimin also gathered hundreds of defeated Xuanjia soldiers.

It seems that things can be salvaged.

But that's just what ordinary people think, in fact, Li Shimin's heart is broken at this moment. He knew that even if these soldiers were put back, they would not be able to use them anymore, because their faces were full of fear. They have lost their courage, and if they let them fight again, I am afraid that they will rebel on the spot.

"This battle, I just lost like this?" Li Shimin muttered to himself. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, but it was true.
