Chapter 145: Thousands of Miles to Give People Heads (Ten Thousand Rewards for Book Friends!) )

"Oh my God, this, this is the so-called "Twenty Strokes"! ”

In an instant, not only the Qing army was stunned, but they were also stunned along with Niu Jinxing!

They all stared ahead with round eyes, and for at least a moment, time on the battlefield seemed to stand still!

Twenty-four mountain howitzers, in an interval of two or three seconds before and after, continuously shelled out more than 6,000 cast-iron bullets the size of red dates, and at a distance of 200 meters, the fully dispersed shotguns were like raindrops, enveloping the scattered Qing troops, and many of the Qing troops who rushed to the front were "fully cared for", and as many as dozens of iron bullets fell on their bodies, turning them into a sieve with men and horses.

But this stillness was only a moment, or just an illusion, and after a shelling, although the muzzle was still smoking, the gunner had already reached the muzzle with the shell, and the moment the gunner scrubbed the sparks in the bore with a woollen ramher dipped in water, they once again stuffed the shell into the muzzle.

Moreover, the offensive of the Qing army did not weaken, although they suffered huge losses, they were still charging forward, and the roar of the horses' hooves when they landed still echoed in the sky.

The momentum of thousands of war horses running is like a stormy wave. Before approaching the car wall, the tremor caused by the horse's hooves hitting the ground had already shaken the Ming soldiers behind the car wall involuntarily nervous, as if they were on the sea, and the people seemed to shake.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield, watch out for them to release their arrows!"

The commander-in-chief and the sentinels all shouted loudly in their throats, which were already shouting blood.

Although they had never really fought with the Qing army, they still had the most common sense, even if they were rogues, they would not be stupid enough to directly hit the wall of the car with their war horses.

As if to corroborate with the shouts of the commanders and sentinels, the five or six Qing cavalrymen who rushed to the front straightened their waists at the same time, stretched out their hands to the saddle, felt out a riding bow, drew the bow and shot it, and at the moment when the arrow flew out, they turned their horses about two hundred paces in front of the Ming army's chariot formation and turned to other places. And then all the Qing cavalry followed the former's example, shooting arrows and then turning elsewhere.

For a while, there was a deafening sound of strings everywhere on the battlefield, and when the rain of arrows came, the fine iron arrows easily pierced the bodies of those unarmored infantrymen, and even shot directly through the shields and penetrated the bodies of officers and soldiers. Even the steel carriage had a lot of feather arrows pierced, but most of the feather arrows bounced off and failed to penetrate the steel plate of the carriage.

In this regard, Shen Bao seemed to turn a blind eye, just staring at the movement of the Qing army with a telescope, but at this time, more bows and arrows fell from the sky and smashed in, and where they fell, a piece of flesh and blood suddenly flew sideways, screaming again and again. But he still stared at the Qing army blindly.

The offensive of the cavalry of the Qing army was like a tide, coming in a hurry and going quickly. As the Qing army retreated, the gunners fired another round of artillery fire, but compared to the last time, the shotguns they fired this time only claimed the lives of a few dozen people.

"Order the gunner to change the grenade!"

This time, Shen Bao no longer shouted loudly, but calmed down.

The so-called Eight Banners is nothing more than that!

Just as he was finishing behind, the Qing army that had gathered again in the distance moved, and this time their ranks seemed to be larger than before, and not only all the cavalry were thrown into the battlefield, but even their spare horses.

The mighty cavalry array, with two or three thousand horsemen, looked like an earth-shattering momentum, like a stormy wave. In addition, it was said that the officers and soldiers of the swift battalion were facing the enemy head-on, and even Zhu Guoqiang, who was observing the battlefield with a drone, couldn't help but be surprised by the bravery of the cavalry of the Qing army.

Boy!

Compared to the last time, their queue is even denser, which is clearly ...... Give away your head!

Something seems wrong, though!

It stands to reason that they can't be so stupid, how could they smash the cavalry against the car wall?

Hurriedly lowered the flight altitude of the drone, and suddenly Zhu Guoqiang noticed the strangeness of the Qing cavalry - one or two thousand war horses in the front row, only horses and no one, only a few cavalry drove these war horses around the horses.

They want to break through the wall with their horses!

Compared with the reconnaissance of drones from the air, Shen Bao, who was on the front line, could clearly see from the telescope that there was no one in the saddle, and so many empty horses rushed over, not to rush into battle, but for what.

At a distance of more than a thousand paces, he ordered the gunners to open fire. For a time, in the wall of the Ming army's car, the cannon roared, and the cannonballs roared towards the dense camp of the Qing army.

The dull whistling sound of the "......" projectile piercing the sky was almost insignificant compared to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves. However, this kind of sound is also unable to hide the sound of horses' hooves, especially when the cannonball rushes out of the barrel under the deflagration of gunpowder, and the cannonball produces a crisp sound when it hits the gap of the body tube, which is an extremely harsh sound.

"Ding ......" In the crisp sound of metal impact, the cannonball whistled and slid a gray-black arc in mid-air, and then plunged headlong into the galloping herd, immediately splashing several bloody rays.

The war horse that was hit by the cannonball, its head disappeared in an instant, and the moment it smashed out a cloud of blood mist, it hit the neck of another war horse, and then rubbed against the front legs of the third war horse, and the moment the skin was broken and broken, the war horse fell to the ground one after another. When the castrated cannonball landed on the ground, it continued to roll forward, and the horse's hooves shattered when the running war horse was touched by the rolling iron ball, and the bones were broken and blood flew......

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the cannonball, which had stopped rolling, exploded on the ground, and the flames and ashes of the explosion erupted from under the horse's belly, sending several galloping horses into the sky, followed by the second, third, and fourth...... The shells that exploded one after another blew up the running horses and turned them on their backs. More than 20 columns of smoke rose from the battlefield suddenly, and more than a dozen of them came out of the horses, throwing all the nearby horses and cavalry into the air.

In the violent explosion, the speed of the horses that had been driven by the people slowed slightly, and just when they wanted to scatter and flee, the surrounding cavalry once again drove them with spears, regrouped and continued to rush forward, for these horses, they were driven by the cavalry, and had no other choice but to continue to charge forward.

Although dozens of grenades almost dispersed the horses, the horses rushed in a denser formation under the drive of the cavalry, and just as the horses were about to rush to the vicinity of the car wall, the artillery roared again, and the rain-like shotguns once again smashed thousands into a sieve, but the galloping horses behind rushed into the car wall......
