0835 Artillery strikes
And a fast-galloping war horse will give a light saber terrible lethality! This is the experience accumulated in the European battlefield with hundreds of years, and Liu Pei directly moved here! Therefore, Yang Kaihua has full confidence to defeat his opponent. And it's not the first time he's done it!
The broadsword on the opposite side slashed diagonally with the sound of the wind. Yang Kaihua quickly crossed the saber, knocked on the opponent's blade with the saber's gauntlet, and then gently swung the blade with the help of the force of the collision, and his saber cut on the opponent's arm!
In an instant, a hand holding a large knife flew in the air! At this moment, the intoxicating pleasure filled Yang Kaihua's whole body again! This kind of business is so exciting!
Taking advantage of the gap between battles, Yang Kaihua inserted the short gun in his hand back into the saddle bag, pulled out another loaded short gun, and pulled the dragon head. In his right hand, he skillfully pulled a knife flower and moved his sore wrist.
Only then did he look back at the people around him, and two of the people around him had fallen off their horses. One horse is still running after them, and the other doesn't know where to go!
Yang Kaihua couldn't help but sigh, because the second batch of enemies had already rushed up!
This time, Yang Kaihua's short shot was very accurate! He watched as his opponent's face, which was more than a dozen steps away, was beaten to shreds! Then he fell backwards on the horse's back, rolling to the ground!
Yang Kaihua, who had no opponent, leaned to the left on his horse, rotated his saber, and chopped the head of a rebel cavalryman away! Before Yang Kaihua began to enjoy the joy of victory, the gongs of the two sides sounded one after another to recall the cavalry.
Because at this time the infantry of both sides was already very close. If the cavalry doesn't leave, they will be caught by the infantry on both sides! Therefore, Yang Kaihua accelerated his horse and ran to the left, and they would assemble on the left and right flanks to protect the two flanks of the infantry and block the outflanking of the opposing cavalry to the rear.
But Yang Kaihua knew that his side had won! Because it was the other party who struck the gong first! This kind of pre-battle is the best morale booster, so neither side will let go of this opportunity. Therefore, only the defeated side will sound the gong in order to preserve its strength.
So Yang Kaihua's heart is full of pride and pride! And he
There are plenty of reasons to be proud! A cavalryman who had not been in the army long after the formation of the army, and had only experienced low-intensity battles, defeated a group of veterans in the front! This is certainly something to be proud of!
Not long after the cavalry left, Liu Pei's artillery was the first to fire. The target is the opposing infantry phalanx. The 30 iron balls from the mouth of the bowl crossed the space of more than two miles in the middle of the two formations and smashed into the phalanx of the rebels!
The sun-dried ground becomes the best boost for a cannonball! Cannonballs bouncing off the ground and flying, falling, and flying again! Countless severed limbs and fresh lives have been taken away!
The rebels did not expect shelling at such a distance, which immediately caused a commotion. But it was pressed down under the bullet pressure of the officers. Instead, they began to accelerate.
But as they accelerated, the rate of shelling also became faster. Each round of shelling can take the lives of more than a hundred people! Although these casualties were insignificant compared to the rebels of more than 10,000 people, they dealt a heavy blow to the rebels' spirit!
The two phalanxes in front were subjected to continuous artillery bombardment, and signs of instability were already showing seven or eight hundred meters away from Liu Pei's position. The soldiers began to look left and right, cowering, ready to find a way to escape.
After all, they are not elite soldiers, they are just a group of rabble, and it is already a miracle that they can hold out for so long under shelling!
With the increase in casualties, the bullet pressure of officers is slowly losing its effect. After all, in the short distance of less than a mile, too many people had fallen in the two phalanxes! What is even more terrible is not those who fall and die, but those who do not!
Somewhere in their bodies had been taken away by the artillery, blood gushing out of the wounds, staining the ground and their bodies red, making them look miserable! They were screaming, wailing and crying desperately! This kind of heavy pressure is really unbearable for the rebel army that has just formed an army, or even has not yet formed an army!
Liu Pei had been using binoculars to observe the rebels' phalanx. He keenly noticed that the other party's morale was irreversibly declining! He immediately gave the order: "Tell the artillerymen to fire ten rounds of artillery as fast as possible!" ”
The gunners, who received the order, used all their strength to start firing shells! Dense shells rained down like pops and smashed into the ranks of the rebels! Smash the rebel ranks to the ground!
Kong Youde certainly sees this as well. He immediately ordered the flag to be shaken, and the soldiers in the two mutilated phalanxes retreated to the left and right as if they had been pardoned, making way for the two phalanxes behind.
Kong Youde, who was old in battle, gave orders in a timely manner. There were already signs of commotion in those two phalanxes. If they had to stay in the front row and withstand the shelling, I am afraid it would not be long before they collapsed!
At this time, it shows the wisdom of a battlefield veteran! Kong Youde quickly judged the situation of the team and replaced them. Let another group of people go on top. This is where you need to have a clear judgment about your team's abilities.
Liu Pei's artillery team was also very cooperative, and did not shell the evacuated team again. Because they were already evacuating, no amount of intensive shelling would hurt their morale, and it was better to hit the two phalanxes that were about to approach.
After the start of a new round of strikes, this team of rebels did not perform much better than the previous two phalanxes. The reason for this is that there are too few core soldiers, and most of them are guards and ordinary people who have been coerced. These people can still fight with the wind, but they are much worse at taking the blow!
However, the two teams managed to approach the artillery position. After all, there were people in front of them who had endured shelling for them for a long time. However, when you get close to your opponent, your opponent's artillery density increases! Because the ten old guns also began to fire frequently, which increased the number of rebel casualties.
Just as the rebel vanguard began to storm the artillery positions, the gunners were summoned by Liu Pei to begin to retreat. The ten old guns were thrown straight in place, while the other gunners dragged the guns to the rear.
For a while, there was no overwhelming artillery blow, and the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted! Even their pace of progress is a little brisker!
Just when they thought they had pushed the enemy back, the artillery had quickly built an artillery position between the two phalanxes.
