0852 A Temptation That Consumes Human Life
Although it is said that their bird guns are already the best of the best, where is the fire gun produced by Liu Pei himself! After they fired, they could only see the scattered rebels falling. And Liu Pei's side is different! After they started shooting, the crowd in front of them fell down one by one, like wheat harvesting! Forcefully dented the fairly neat front of the rebels!
At this time, the artillery of the Ming army opened fire! The fist-sized cannonball smashed into the crowd, opening up one flesh alley after another! However, unlike Liu Pei's artillery, the rate of fire of the Ming army's artillery was very slow, and it took half a day to shoot a shot.
It's something that can't be helped. Because most of the artillery used by the Ming army was copper cannons or bronze cannons. The heat dissipation is relatively poor, and if you can't hit twenty or thirty guns, the gun body will be hot and scary, and the gunpowder may spontaneously combust when you put it in. Therefore, the frequency of artillery of the Ming army was very slow, and it was necessary to reduce the temperature as possible and save it for emergency use in the future.
And Liu Bei's steel artillery doesn't care about this. In addition, the Academy of Sciences also deliberately added heat sinks to the upper and lower parts and sides of the artillery, which is more conducive to heat dissipation.
But as soon as the artillery on the Ming army's side rang out, the rebels retreated all at once. And the retreat was very clean.
It's not that the gunsmiths are cowardly, it's because neither side took this attack seriously! Everyone knows that the real offensive does not begin until after four or five batches. The first few batches were nothing, they were just testing human lives. That's why there is a saying that mercy is not in charge of the army.

Because on top of the battle, both sides will desperately hide their weaknesses and show their strengths. If you want to know the information of your opponent, you can only test it with your life. For example, where can the opponent's artillery hit? How many doors are there? How far can their bows and arrows shoot? How far can a firebolt hit? What is incoherent in their orders? Which units are less combat-ready?
These things cannot be seen just by looking, but can only be felt through temptation again and again. Even in modern warfare, before the start of a major war between the two sides, it is necessary for small forces to constantly stimulate the other side and carry out tentative attacks. So that you can get the details of the other party.
Anyone who has watched "Crossing the River Reconnaissance" knows that there is a passage in the movie
The reconnaissance team that crossed the river actively or passively exchanged fire with the enemy, and as a result, several unmarked firing points were discovered.
After the first wave of the rebel attack was beaten back, it took less than a cup of tea for the second group to come up. Then came the third group of people, and again, these three groups were easily beaten back. As the soldiers fought, their spirits gradually tightened, and the battle slowly entered a climax.
By the time the fourth group of rebels came up, it was a more formal offensive. The knife cart and the cart were also willing to take out, covering the rebels and rushing up. Behind the cart was a large number of archers and birdmen, approaching rapidly.
Liu Pei also knew that the rebels were going to play the real thing, so he directly ordered: "The gunners start to hit those carts, and they are not allowed to approach!" ”
It is estimated that the same order was given by other generals in other places. After the appearance of knife carts and carts, the artillery of the Ming army was obviously much denser. But the effect is far from Liu Pei's side!
The gunners of the Ming army were not as powerful as Liu Pei's. The Ming gunners did not talk about practicing artillery in a year, and it is difficult to say how many artillery pieces he could see in a year? Because the firearms of the Ming army were kept by the eunuchs sent by the palace. Bribe the eunuch if you want to use it! So the piping is simply not a chance to practice!
And what about Liu Pei's side? Less than thirty shots were fired in a day, and all the artillerymen had to be punished. And they also have a ballistic table that the Academy of Sciences helped calculate. It's not exact, but it's enough! This resulted in different results for both sides.
Seven or eight artillery shots on the Ming army's side may not be able to hit a cart. And Liu Pei's side has an average of two guns and one car. And it's not like the shells stick to the cart and break it up. Because the car is also very sturdy. It was necessary to inflict maximum damage by a direct hit of the cannonball on the car.
As soon as the cannonball hits the ground and bounces, the power is gone! It is often a collision on a car, and the car stops for a moment and it is over! Some cars are very sturdy, and they often need to be broken after two or three shells.
However, once the car is broken, the loss of the people behind it is very large! Under the flying of wooden thorns, all the people who were stabbed screamed and screamed, and the flesh and blood were blurred!
Although the Ming army fired frequent artillery, it still couldn't stop the car from moving forward. After all, the accuracy of artillery is really low now, and it is difficult to hit moving targets. Only when you get close to a certain distance can you accurately face the target.
There is a lot of pressure on both wings, but even more so here on the central front! Because the knife and cart cars invested here are the most intensive. But the actual killing situation is the opposite! The artillery of the Central Front is the most accurate! Under the cover of the two-tiered carts, it is still said that the rebels fought back!
But Liu Pei knew that the future battles would become more and more brutal. Because the rebels intentionally or unintentionally left behind a lot of intact and broken carts on the battlefield.
These are the covers! The more cover the enemy has, the easier it is to get closer to your own line. So by the time the rebels attacked for the fifth time, the soldiers who rushed out of the rebels finally came into contact with the barbed wire!
But these rebels didn't know the power of the barbed wire at all, and thought that a single knife would be over! It's not that simple!
The first rebel soldier who rushed out was shot by a musket before he could raise his sword! After tearing off several people in a row, a soldier finally slashed at the barbed wire with a knife! But the workout scene he was expecting didn't show up!
With a slight swing of the barbed wire, it slid along the blade! The rebel soldier was stunned for a moment, and then he was knocked to the ground by buckshot! But more and more people rushed out and tried to cut through the barbed wire, but without exception all were killed by a dense barrage of lead bullets.
After repeated unsuccessful storming of the barbed wire, the rebels finally retreated. But the rebels were not helpless, and soon they found the right way to attack.
Just as the sixth wave was blowing, the rebel soldiers threw a large number of rope hooks, which they began to drag after they hooked the barbed wire. Sure enough, they found the right way to fight. The rebels finally destroyed the first layer of barbed wire after paying a lot of casualties. But this shock was also repulsed.
It's good that Liu Pei has barbed wire on his side, but the two wings have already entered a state of hand-to-hand combat! However, they benefited from Liu Pei's rapid repulsion of the rebels, forcing the rebels on both flanks to retreat in advance. Otherwise, if you are flanked by the Chinese army, the loss will be very large!
