Chapter 348: Relieving Stress

Jump... Jump... Jump... Jump..."

The artillery fire continued to stretch out from Ma'anshan, and the sound of huge explosions continued continuously.

The air waves on the ground were rolling, carrying thick smoke and dust, like water dripping from a hot oil pot, boiling endlessly.

The artillery fire route stretched from the foot of Ma'an Mountain to two miles away. The Qing cavalry, who was originally ready to charge, immediately grabbed the reins behind the horse's neck after feeling that the situation was wrong. Quickly hit the horse and run backwards.

However, even so, hundreds of cavalry were still affected by artillery fire.

If it weren't for the forward, the Green Battalion had more soldiers and occupied most of the bombing area, so the cavalry had not been able to catch up. Then the casualties of the Qing cavalry must be more than that.

The artillery fire did not last long, only half a cup of tea (about five minutes), and in the eyes of the Qing troops in the bombardment area, the sound from hell stopped.

This is not to say that the bandit army does not want to continue to bombard with artillery. It is only because the current mainstream artillery of the bandit suppression army is a small-caliber mortar whose lethality is not particularly high, followed by a large number of "unconscionable artillery" and tiger squat artillery, and then there are general artillery.

In terms of lethality and attack distance.

The lethality of the mortar and the attack distance can be good, but the cost of the shell is high, and it is not easy to finish it at one time, so you need to leave some out for threat.

The conscienceless cannon and the tiger squat cannon are the most numerous artillery pieces on Ma'anshan, and the lethality is also good, but unfortunately the attack distance is not long. But it can be used to attack targets at close range.

The number of generals is the smallest, the cannon lethality is also very strong, and the attack range is also strong, but the killing radius is poor, all relying on ricochet damage, and the firing time is also long, and the cooldown is longer.

It was precisely because the attack distance of the largest number of unconscionable cannons and tiger squat cannons was effective, so after the green battalion soldiers who rushed to the front were bombarded like a harvest, the bandit army slowly stopped the shelling.

In fact, in Zhang Rui's mind, the most wanted artillery probably belongs to howitzers.

When that thing is put down by a shell, it is a big pit, and there is nothing to say about the lethality of the killing radius or the attack distance. It's just that it takes some time to accumulate to make howitzers, and for Zhang Rui, who has been facing the pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these times are indeed very luxurious.

……

In addition to the artillery bombardment, the bandit army also carried out platoon shooting, so the Qing army that rushed to the front was basically dead.

In the bombed area, rivers of blood had already flowed, stumps and bodies were flying in all directions. As for those who can escape, they have already fled, and those who can't run and are not dead are just wailing and waiting for death.

Looking around, the Qing army, which was still about to attack under black pressure just now, is now full of corpses.

There is not a single living person who can stand up.

A gust of wind blew through the smoke of gunpowder and the strong smell of blood and the smell of burnt corpses.

On Ma'anshan, some soldiers of the bandit suppression army with low psychological quality couldn't help but vomit there when they saw this situation.

"Spit it, spit it out, spit and spit and get used to it, just get used to it. It's much better for you to stand here and look at someone else's corpse and vomit than if someone else steps on your corpse and vomits. The Sharp Knife Army was formed, and the squad leader Cao Renzheng gently patted the back of Jiang Zetao, the young soldier who was vomiting in the class, and said.

At this time, Jiang Zetao still couldn't help it, and vomited again, until he vomited all the bitter bile water.

"Okay, squad leader, thank you." Finally, Jiang Zetao stopped vomiting after trying to sort out his state, and whispered thanks to Cao Ren, the squad leader who was supporting him, in a somewhat embarrassed voice.

"It's okay, you don't have to care, seeing such a scene, it's normal to vomit, just a few of them, almost all of them have vomited." Cao Ren comforted Jiang Zetao softly.

"Squad leader, do you mean Wang Dekai and they also vomited?" Jiang Zetao asked curiously.

"Of course, otherwise you think that everyone is born a veteran, and they have seen no less tragic scenes than you. Especially Xiao Lizi, who vomited more than you at that time. Cao Ren said with a smile.

"Squad leader, I don't want you to play like this, why do you still expose my old bottom, and how can I bring recruit eggs in the future?" Hearing this, Li Zhengyu, a veteran on the side, couldn't help but complain to Cao Ren.

"Haha, you kid still knows that you have such an old bottom, let you brag in front of the recruits all day long, and I have to give you some face in the future, and I don't mention these things about you." Cao Ren couldn't help but be happy.

"It's pretty much the same, you have to know that the current recruits are getting harder and harder to bring, they are far higher than the sky, they have never been on the battlefield, they think they are heroes, and they only find themselves so unbearable after they go to the battlefield. So it's not okay not to scare them too much. After getting Cao Ren's answer, Li Zhengyu said in a good mood.

"And I'm bragging, it's also for their sake, think about how tense the battlefield is! According to what Jin Junzheng said, I can relieve their pressure! ”

"You, that is, you have a strong mouth, when this battle is over, I will apply to the company headquarters to transfer you to the army." Cao Ren said with a smile.

"Don't, squad leader, I still want to follow you and go with you to fight the Manchu Tartars, how boring it is to be a soldier!" Li Zhengyu replied with a anxious look.

"Hey, you kid dares to say that it's boring to be a soldier, be careful that Jin Junzheng hears it, and he wants to pull you over to do a good job of ideological education." Cao Ren looked at Li Zhengyu and teased.

"Don't be a squad leader, I don't mean that, I mean that such an important position in the army must be suitable for better talents to fill, and mediocre talents like me are most suitable for playing Tartar." Li Zhengyu was anxious.

"So you mean that I'm only suitable for mediocrity?" Cao Ren looked serious.

"What? Little Lizi, what do you mean by that? What about insulting the squad leader? Or is it an insult to us? Another veteran, Tao Wei, asked Li Zhengyu in shock.

"That's, that's it, little plum, what do you mean?"

……

The other two veterans were also speechless and endless.

"Yes, squad leader, Lao Tao, and the two of you, I can't talk about you. I can't admit my mistake! Li Zhengyu replied with a bitter melon face.

"Haha, Xiao Lizi won't tease you anymore, relax and relax, and be ready to fight in a while." Cao Ren laughed and said, even with the other three veterans, they also laughed.

"Little Lizi, you kid now know what it's like to be teased, right? Dare to joke with the squad leader, you kid is still young. Tao Wei also teased with a smile on his face.

"Well, how dare I laugh with the class leader. Squad leader, I think you are the most suitable person to be a military official, even if it is Jin Junzheng, he may not be able to say anything about you. Li Zhengyu replied with a bitter gourd face.

"Haha, I have this in mind." Cao Ren was happy.

"Okay, everyone, pack up your mood. The Qing army is preparing to attack again, and after their attack this time, we should be able to eat dinner in peace. ”
