Chapter 64: The First Speech of Artillery

Looking at the enemy army with bright armor and momentum, Zhi Yanwen's face became more and more ugly.

In particular, the orderly appearance of the enemy's formation made him even more shocked, and the ease with which the military formation changed was not something that ordinary armies could do.

Even if it is his broken army, there will be some turmoil when the formation changes, and it will take a long time to adjust.

And the rebels on the opposite side did not have a riot at all, and the transformation of the military formation was completed in one go, and Zhi Yanwen's face changed several times.

He realized that this time the opponent was not simple, and he was afraid that it would be tricky!

It's just that when he saw the equipment on the other party's body clearly, Zhi Yanwen's heart suddenly sank again, and at a glance, all the armor in the enemy's army formation was shining in the sun.

The whole person was wrapped in armor, as if a knife could not be slashed into the water!

I don't know why, Zhi Yanwen suddenly wanted to turn around and leave, he didn't want to fight with the Dang Capture Army anymore, this army was definitely a difficult bone to gnaw.

Even if he can win this battle, I'm afraid that his own army will have to be disabled!

Especially the thousand cavalry, he was reluctant to let them consume the enemy!

That's their life!

The two armies approached quickly, and the formation of the captive army was already lined up, and it was still the same.

In the front row are the sergeants in full-body armor, who carry shields and are responsible for protection.

Behind them was a platoon of spearmen armed with spears, then a platoon of foot soldiers in half-armored armour, and finally grenadiers.

However, in the middle of the entire formation, twenty musketeers armed with black flintlock muskets appeared today.

Their movements were not very skillfully loaded, and after loading, the flintlock pistol was on the shoulder, aiming at the approaching Song army, ready to fire at any time.

Behind these musketeers, there is the Dang Army, which is also the only cannon in the world, and the cannon is also loaded, waiting for the Song army to enter the firing range and fire.

Looking at the mighty Song army, Chen Yan unconsciously clenched the saber on his waist, and felt slightly nervous in his heart.

Although he is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Swinging Army, he still can't help but be nervous, after all, his opponent has almost 10,000 troops!

Eight thousand foot soldiers, one thousand cavalry, and those people who were responsible for escorting grain and grass and baggage, added up to more than 10,000 people.

It looks scary from afar!

The army is a little pitiful, with a total of only more than 3,000 troops, although they are all the elite of the elite, but it looks like something is missing.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Seeing that the two sides were close to a hundred steps, he ordered Keqiu.

The crossbowmen of the Song army bent their bows and arrows one after another, and the arrows were aimed at the side of the Dang Captive Army!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was extremely obvious, and the arrows were as dense as flying locusts, shooting towards the side of the Swinging Army.

The faces of the soldiers did not change in the slightest, as if the arrows coming from the sky were not aimed at them.

They are very confident in the plate armor on their bodies, as well as the shields in their hands.

What about the Song army on the other side?!

More than a hundred steps away, you want to shoot through my plate armor?!

Poop! Poop! Wow......

The arrows hit the plate armor and shield of the Swinging Army, making a series of crisp sounds, but they could not break through the plate armor and shield made of pure steel.

Zhi Yanwen's face changed slightly when he saw this, although he could see from a distance that the armor of the thief army on the opposite side was not simple, but he still couldn't imagine that a wave of arrow rain covered the past, and it didn't cause much damage.

"Cavalry, prepare to flank the opposing army!"

Zhi Yanwen ordered that the cavalry of their Zhejia army was not heavy cavalry, and they did not have the ability to charge into battle, at most they would just harass the enemy army.

With the order of Zhi Yanwen, the 1,000 cavalry of the Zhejia army jumped out, and under the leadership of Zhi Yanzhen, they began to gallop around the army formation.

The crossbowmen of the Zhejia army were still shooting, and the military formation began to advance slowly, and the Song sergeants in the front row were all wearing armor, holding weapons, and their eyes and faces were extremely fierce, and they looked like veterans of old battles.

The Dang Capture Army did not launch a counterattack, and was still waiting for the enemy to get closer, and if they wanted to break the armor a hundred steps away, the only thing they could do was the artillery at Chen Yan's hand.

Almost at the same time as Song Jun released the arrow, Chen Yan slowly raised his right hand and swung it down vigorously.

"Artillery fire!"

Rumble!

After a loud bang that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, the bronze cannon spoke, and a piece of lead came out of its chamber, cutting a graceful arc in the air, and shooting towards the Song army's military formation.

Puff puff......

A series of flesh and blood explosions sounded, and a flesh/ravine appeared in the Song army's formation, and a string of nearly a dozen fully armored soldiers were blasted into a puddle of rotten flesh.

Blood and guts are sprayed everywhere!

"Ah......h

"Monster, help!"

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

"Ahh

“……”

The Song army was shocked by the huge movement of the artillery, and the military formation instantly became chaotic, and the army's heart was almost unstable.

Sergeant Song's face was full of fear and disbelief!

They had experienced such a terrible movement there, and they thought that God had thundered, and almost the whole army collapsed.

The 1,000 cavalry led by Zhi Yanzhi himself was also panicked, and the war horses under his crotch were restless, and dozens of horses were thrown off by the war horses, and then trampled into a puddle of meat by his companions behind him.

The cavalry formation was in chaos in an instant, and the wave of covering arrows that had been prepared could not be shot, and the few arrows shot out were also soft and lying on their stomachs without the slightest threat, and they were casually pushed away by several swinging sergeants in the front row.

Even Ori Yanzhi himself was almost thrown off by the war horse under his crotch, and his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, barely stabilizing his body.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

There was a burst of shouts from the side of the Dang Captive Army, and the murderous spirit was soaring, and the morale of the Song army suddenly plummeted, and there was chaos in the military formation.

But the Dang Capture Army is indeed still in a tight formation, and the morale is soaring!

A trace of horror flashed on Zhi Yanwen's face, even he was startled by the sound of artillery, and seeing the rapid decline in the morale of the army, his heart was also extremely flustered.

The two armies are about to engage in battle, can their own side without morale really win?!

It's just that before he could finish thinking about this question, there was a series of crisp snaps...... The sound rang out.

A burst of gunpowder smoke rose and twenty flintlock gunners aimed at the target, and after Song Jun stepped into the range of fifty paces, they did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

More than a dozen people fell on Song Jun's side as if they were cutting wheat, and a bloody hole was punched in their chests.

Blood gushed out, lifeless, and the foot armor on their bodies could not help them block the lead of the flintlock pistol within fifty paces!

"Put!"

Chen Yan ordered again, and the loaded artillery spoke again.

Rumble!

Another bang!

Once again, a flesh/ravine appeared in the Song army.

"Ah......h

"Help!"

"No, God, I don't want to die."
