Five hundred steps! ”

"Four Hundred Steps"

"Fire!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At a distance of about six hundred meters, the accuracy of Napoleon's guns was already very guaranteed. More than a dozen black dots rushed out, and then crashed into the surging Cao army's infantry phalanx. Cao Jun's training and establishment have not changed from before, and he still uses "qu" as the most basic tactical unit.

There are 500 people in a song, which can be divided into five columns. The well-organized infantryman, with his spear in his hand, was moving forward when he heard a sudden thunder in front of him. Immediately afterward, more than a dozen black dots quickly magnified in the field of vision, grinding a bloody path in the infantry phalanx.

Because of the small charge, the Tiger Squat Cannon is not powerful enough, and the fired cannonball can penetrate at most one song, and the kinetic energy will be exhausted. The power of the Napoleonic cannon is greater than that of the Tiger squat cannon. How many times has it been improved? The shells weighing more than ten pounds were really killed next to each other, and they were injured when they rubbed together.

The queue that was hit by the shells suddenly appeared with many bloody soldiers. The soldiers in front, along with their armor, were torn to shreds by the shells, but they were perhaps luckier this way. Immediately after those in the back are hit, a large piece of their body will appear.

The soldiers lay in pools of blood, howling loudly, and the soldiers next to them looked at everything around them with fear and blankness, their faces covered in blood and scraps. They have long been accustomed to face-to-face fighting, and it is not a matter of charging with arrows and crossbows once or twice, but who has ever seen such a bloody and cruel scene?

It's a long way away, but it's been smashed to death by a big iron ball falling from the sky, this kind of thing is really bad!

Even the strongest warriors can only be left with a pile of broken flesh and blood after being hit by a cannonball. The officers were also frightened, but they remembered their duty, and stepped forward to kill the wounded soldiers who were wailing on the ground with their ring-headed knives and short spears, and then forced the soldiers to move on.

The Cao soldiers paused for a moment, and then continued to rush towards the defense line of Xiaowangzhuang. On the artillery position, the artillery also quickly completed the second loading. This time, it's still a solid bullet. The Napoleon cannon was very simple to operate and had an astonishing rate of fire, even in this twelve-pound version.

In the hands of skilled artillerymen, this style of cannon is capable of firing a terrifying rate of fire of twice per minute. Of course, under normal circumstances, this ultimate rate of fire will not be pursued. Although the heat dissipation performance of bronze is good, it cannot withstand high-intensity continuous shooting. The rate of fire of the Tiger Squat Cannon can be faster, and for the same reason, it generally does not shoot three or four rounds a minute.

It was only after almost a minute that the artillery battalion commander gave the order to fire a second round. The Cao soldiers in a dense formation were the best targets, and after the distance was reduced to 300 paces, the hit rate and power of the shells increased a lot. There was even a cannonball that pierced two pieces of music and then grazed the side of the third one, cutting off the calf of a Cao soldier.

There was a bang in front of him, and his comrades suddenly turned into a pile of flying flesh and blood. Blood and minced flesh poured over his face, and intestines flew up and hung on the soldier's shoulder. The terrifying scene reappeared, the soldiers of the Cao army had never been mentally prepared for being artillery, and they were able to continue to move forward before, which was already a sign of high morale, but now they were subjected to such a volley, and they immediately fell into a panic.

Looking at the enemy who stopped three hundred steps away, Chen Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said with regret: "Boss Cao, times have changed!" ”

Although the twelve-pounder Napoleonic cannon was not comparable to the Grand Berta, it was more than enough to fight the infantry. Even if he was wearing thick plate armor, if he was hit head-on, he would turn into meat sauce.

At the edge of the Mill of the Wind, a third salvo of artillery was fired. Twelve shells pierced the sky and accurately bombarded Cao's army's battle formation, setting off another round of bloody storms. This time, even if an officer pressed it, the soldiers couldn't bear it and retreated one after another.

In fact, those officers of the Cao Army were also beating drums in their hearts, and they were afraid that they couldn't do it, but they had to move forward under the pressure of military law. Now even killing could not stop the soldiers from retreating, and the officers followed the tide and retreated.

"Demon law, thief Chen....... The general can summon thunder and directly chop people to death! ”

"Run! The enemy will make a demon spell! ”

All kinds of chaotic shouts and rumors spread indiscriminately, and Cao Cao, who was in the rear, heard the roar of artillery and saw how his own soldiers were knocked down in pieces after the fire flashed. He was even more convinced that this was a new type of weapon, and the principle of combustion was described in "Chemistry", and he had also read it.

But what now? Rao is Cao Cao's heart is as strong as iron, and at this time he couldn't help but fall into confusion. But then, he reverted to being a majestic hero. There are definitely not many new weapons of the enemy, and he has already observed clearly just now, there are not many soldiers killed by the enemy's new weapons, the big deal is to die more people, no matter what, you have to defeat the thief Chen here!

Seeing that Cao's army had begun to retreat, Chen Cheng was about to order Zhao Si and Yan Xing to lead the infantry forward in pursuit, but there was a sudden "snap" sound above his head, as if he had been knocked by someone. He looked up and saw that a light rain had fallen from the sky, and the visibility had suddenly deteriorated.

"Well, it looks like that's all for today."

Chen Cheng muttered to himself, then raised his eyebrows, and a surprised voice came out of his mouth, "Huh? ”

Less than ten miles to the south, Cao Cao led his soldiers and horses to retreat slowly, and suddenly the ground was cold. He stretched out his hand and looked at the drops of water falling from his palm, and his brow furrowed. It's raining......... It's raining? Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, his brows stretched suddenly, and he danced on horseback and said, "It's raining, it's raining!" ”

"Lord!" Xiahou looked at Cao Cao and shouted, "You can't go crazy! ”

Seeing the scene of Napoleon's cannon salvo, Xiahoudun felt that he was almost going crazy. But it's just almost, and he hasn't gone crazy yet, but why did the lord go crazy first?

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I'm not crazy! ”

He pointed to the rain falling above his head and laughed: "Thief Chen's demon method doesn't work when it rains, this is a good opportunity for God to give us to turn defeat into victory!" ”

obviously has more troops than the other party, but inexplicably defeated under Chen Cheng's demon law, although the generals of the Cao army are frightened in their hearts, they also have a lot of dissatisfaction. It's a good man's real sword and real gun, what kind of ability is it to use demon methods?

Now hearing Cao Cao say that the thief Chen can't use magic on a rainy day, the generals are skeptical, but they also make a happy expression on their faces. Cao Caole turned his horse's head and shouted, "Attack, take advantage of the rain to defeat the thief!" ”

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The generals of the Cao army shouted loudly, and then the junior officers also shouted loudly. The soldiers, who had barely gone far back, stopped, and after being whipped with a whip and the hilt, turned and rushed forward.

The rain has become heavier, and although it is not yet the depths of winter, I still feel very cold and uncomfortable after being wet by the rain. There are droplets of water falling from the eyelashes, and the vision becomes terrible. The soldiers of the Cao army let out a beastly cry and ran wildly in the direction of Xiaowang Village with spears in hand.

Hearing the roar coming from the rain curtain, the general of the artillery battalion couldn't help but get nervous, and he put his hand on the curtain of his eyes and looked forward, but he could only see the rain and fog. There seemed to be a figure shaking in the distance, and when I looked closely, I couldn't tell anything.

He looked around for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't see clearly, he gave a loud order: "Shoot the cannonballs, and then reload the shotguns!" ”

The soldiers on the side were busy putting up rain-proof tarpaulins above the cannons, and when they heard the order, they immediately fired the shells. Orange flames erupted in the rain and mist, and in the earth-shaking sound, more than ten pounds of cannonballs shot into the rain curtain. The sound of weapons and armor shattering rang out, and screams could be heard far away in the heavy rain.

But because of the poor vision, this round of shelling was far less effective than before. Although the Cao soldiers heard the screams of their comrades, they were much less frightened because they couldn't see those impactful pictures.

"A piece of gunpowder, a shotgun!"

"A piece of gunpowder, a shotgun!"

The artillery commanders shouted hoarsely, urging the artillery to complete the loading work quickly. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and tens of thousands of big feet stepped on the ground, as if the earth was shaking.

Chen Cheng stretched out his hand and touched the rain on his face, and said secretly in his heart: Cao Mengde is really desperate, but this is no longer an era when courage alone can decide the outcome of the victory!

A lot of rain had accumulated in the potholes on the ground, and the speed of the cavalry had slowed down, and bows and crossbows were difficult to use in this situation. Because the bowstring is wet, even if it is barely used, the power will be greatly reduced.

Heavy footsteps trampled through the puddles, splashing muddy water that wet the soldiers' trouser legs. The thick mud stained his pants and clothes, and was washed down by the rain.

Various orders sounded inside and outside Xiaowang Village, and officers at all levels shouted loudly to prepare the soldiers for battle. In the infantry battalion, the gunners took off their clothes and tied them to bamboo poles and sticks, or directly on the tips of their guns, covering the tiger squatting guns and ammunition tightly.

The pikemen were dressed in heavy armor, and the rain was falling, wetting the clothes inside. When the fabric absorbs water, it becomes wet and heavy, and if it is not treated in time, it is estimated that many people will get sick from it. But at this time, when this battle has already begun, who cares about whether they are sick or not?

If you lose, everything is over. Even if the victory is won, there will be many casualties on the winning side.

The infantry battalion of the tooth soldiers is full of many non-commissioned officers and students who have graduated from military academies, and there are also many warriors selected from the Xiliang Army. Most of these people secretly believe in Shinrikyo, and some of them are openly spreading the idea of "Shinrikyo."

At this time, when the enemy army was about to rush out of the rain curtain, these people shouted loudly together.

"For God!"

"For God!"

"For the sake of honor!"

"For the sake of honor!"

"For the general!"

"For the general!"

"Hooray, hooray!"

Amid the frenzied shouts, morale became even higher.

"Poof!"

Countless footsteps were stepped on, and a lot of mud was splashed. One hundred and ten paces away, the raindrops on the Cao soldiers were bounced off, they howled, angry, and frightened, and then suddenly appeared in front of Chen Chengjun.
