Chapter 778: The Battle of the Wuding River (3)

The silk and bamboo melody of "General's Order" and the sound of golden drums played vigorously among the gunsmoke, and the roaring cannons were like lightning and thunder on a sunny day, and the earth was trembling.

The people were terrified by the wrath of the gods. On the battlefield in the east, many soldiers of the coalition army looked up at the sky, but saw the chaos in the mountains and fields in the north.

The infantry of the Xu Army was also mobilizing with the military order, the nearest trumpet seemed to be urging, rows of two-color pennants were waving, and the air was noisy and dirty.

Yao Erniu and other soldiers could also understand the flag, but they didn't need to pay attention to the military orders, they just followed the shouts of the top ten generals of the capital and followed the team of the capital. The queue was slowly advancing in a horizontal formation towards the front, and Yao Erniu carried the iron pipe firearm and followed the people on the left and right.

The sword, shield, heavy infantry, and divine arm men and horses turned around and retreated in columns. Many of those brothers were covered in blood, and the smell of fish wafted from the gap in the team, and Yao Erniu was even more nervous. He has now become the first row, Rao is an elite soldier who has fought a lot of battles, and he still can't feel relaxed in this kind of battle formation of corpses and blood.

After a while, they had already bumped into the crowd of enemy soldiers who were pursuing and retreating Xu's army, and the men and horses spread all over the hillside. In fact, the frequent roar of the artillery had made the attack of the eastern infantry seem very hesitant, and the speed of coming up was noticeably slowed.

"Ready!" A hissing shout startled Yao Erniu. The brothers on the left and right knelt on one knee after hearing the order, and Yao Erniu also quickly knelt down to make his body shorter, and without thinking about it, he first blew the fire rope on the spark, opened the lid of the primer pot, and skillfully lifted the firearm flat.

The surging crowd of the coalition forces was only twenty or thirty paces away, and Yao Erniu could clearly hear their fearful and angry shouts, and could clearly see their eyes, their faces full of dirt and dust, and even the tattered armor made unevenly. A large number of faces appeared in front of him, no one knew anyone, and there was no hatred, but the evil door of the battle array was here, those who were completely innocent and hateless, but they were holding weapons, shouting and eager to crush their bones and scatter ashes! Yao Erniu believed that when they rushed in front of him, he would definitely want to chop himself into meat puree without hesitation!

Someone shouted out of nowhere: "The official family is well-fed and well-fed to the brothers, and it is today to serve the emperor!" "The sons of the Han family, loyal and brave, the enemy of the Son of Heaven is our mortal enemy, and we will never be soft......"

Yao Erniu had listened a lot to these morale-boosting words, but he didn't really care about it, because what kind of righteousness had little to do with the fact that he might be injured by a knife and arrow at any time in front of him, and at this time, the arrows on his head were still clanging and smashing down like raindrops!

However, the generous words, coupled with the resounding shouts of the armies throughout the valley, really made people's blood surge, and Yao Erniu also felt the atmosphere of courage and unity, and now he actually has no fear.

The crane flag at the head of the row was raised, "Bang! "The gong sounded. Yao Erniu heard the sound of "crackling ......" above his head, and the dense infantry approaching in front screamed miserably, and the lead bullets were invisible, only to see blood splashing on the bodies of those people, and weapons were thrown everywhere.

As soon as the salvo sounded, about the time of a marching drumbeat, Yao Erniu pulled the copper mechanism on the firearm, and the whole row of firearms rang out at this time. While pulling the mechanism, he tilted his head to the left, and as soon as his eyes were closed, the sound of ** explosion sounded from outside the leather guard.

As soon as the sound passed, the smoke in front of him was filled, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him at all for a while, only hearing a scream of pain that cracked his lungs.

The shouts of the head of the capital sounded in time, and Yao Erniu and the others quickly stood up, turned around and followed the man surnamed Zhang in the second row. Soon, the oncoming men rubbed Yao Erniu's shoulders and walked forward.

Ten generals shouted: "Good! Yao Erniu quickly stopped, pulled out a wooden stick wrapped around a strip of cloth, stabbed his hands and feet into the barrel of the gun and rubbed it to roughly clean the slag inside, and blew a few times at the hot pot.

The cannons in the back roared like thunder, the front crackled and smoked, arrows flew overhead, and shouts and killings rang out. But Yao Erniu didn't care, his eyes were only staring at the complicated things at hand, and his hands and feet must be fast, otherwise when everyone else was busy and wanted to move forward, it would be equivalent to stepping forward with a burning stick.

He bit down the stopper wrapped in straw paper that was tightly tucked into the bamboo tube, poured the black particles the size of corn into the barrel of the gun between his legs, and then pulled out the stick, poked it in with a smooth end, and tried to compact it lightly and heavily; Then he took out a lead pellet tightly wrapped in linen cloth from the leather pocket of his waist, and there was slippery tung oil on it, and immediately stuffed it into the mouth of the pipe, and then stabbed it vigorously with a wooden stick. Now this iron pipe is much smaller than the copper gun cast before, and the lead shot is very tightly plugged in.

Then you have to put on the primer, cover the pot, check the fire rope and so on...... This work seems to be very trivial and troublesome, but Yao Erniu is more willing to go into battle like this! It's laborious, but it's not very strenuous; I heard that it is possible to blow up the bore and injure yourself, but these iron pipes are numbered, and if the specified number of uses is less than the explosion, the soldiers and craftsmen will be punished! The possibility of encountering that kind of is much smaller than rushing up and being hacked to death, and I am not afraid at all. Otherwise, rush up with knives and guns and fight hard...... The forbidden soldiers who have experienced it all understand!

Yao Erniu was in a hurry, completely unaware of what had just happened. When I looked up, I saw that the various units of the coalition army in front of the battle formation were fleeing down the hillside, and the infantry formation was already dense, and it was chaotic for a while, and many people were trampled and screamed loudly.

A few hundred feet down the hillside, tens of thousands of coalition infantry formations stood still, while the rebels in front were pouring towards the phalanx on the main formation.

Yao Erniu looked back blankly, only to see that the battle line on the entire hillside was in chaos, and all the infantry troops of the party were fleeing! The crowd poured down the hillside like a torrent!

Yao Erniu and Zhao Dagen and other soldiers beside him were stunned, looking at this sudden and huge scene.

…… At this moment, the artillery roared and deafened on the western artillery array, and some of the artillery ports were already aimed at the coalition infantry formation under the hillside! The iron balls flew sideways into the large infantry formation below the hillside!

Whether it is the Central Plains army or the men and horses of any tribe, as long as it is infantry, the formation must be very dense! Because from the perspective of individual tactics, two people cutting one person is almost guaranteed to win; Then the denser the formation, the more local it is to fight more and less. There was no infantry army in battle, as sparse as cavalry.

The galloping iron bump flew over the heads of the group of people, and the height became lower and lower, "Bang! "A head exploded! The fleshy and fleshy head jerked back, the neck snapped off, and the iron ball continued to fly into the crowd, "Bang! There was another terrifying thud, and the other soldier's ribs were faintly broken from the chest, and his body fell backwards. The iron ball hit the torso in a very deflected direction, slowing down a lot, but still hitting and injuring several people, and the screams of terror came out from the crowd, and the atmosphere of fear spread like a plague.

After a while, another iron ball fell in front of a crowd, and with a "bang" of sand, the iron ball immediately bounced up and flew straight into the crowd.

As the shelling continued, the riots continued to spread, and the large array of tens of thousands of people was faintly turbulent. And the sudden rout of the crowd in front of them added signs of defeat and despair!

The sound of drums on the hillside sounded from the entire front, and the infantry of the Xu army lined up neatly, with the ten generals leading from the left side of each team, and the army followed the ten generals to march in two columns and two columns. On the slopes of the loess mountains, teams of men and horses rushed down one after another like weapons.

The infantry of the Xu Army was disciplined and disciplined, the method of the battle formation was skillful and orderly, the column advanced very fast, and the formation of a horizontal formation dozens of steps away was also very quick. Throughout the hillside, people and horses moved in different ways, and when they formed a horizontal formation one after another, it seemed that the entire crowd of people was like a whirlpool, and countless iron helmets were surging. But every city, every team, and no fire people are moving with the military general's military orders, and the details are very orderly. There were arrows from the coalition forces flying overhead, and from time to time, the armor joints of the soldiers of the Xu Army were shot through and injured, but the rain of arrows did not affect the battle formation in the slightest.

The coalition forces were scrambled into a large formation of tens of thousands of men, and they could not retreat through the gaps between the various formations, because the artillery disrupted large areas of the camp, and the scattered men scattered and scattered the battalions in front of them were in disarray.

"Bang bang......" volleys of firearms rang out one after another on the front from south to north. Invisible lead pellets pierced into people's bodies, and the screams of despair and fear were like ghosts crying and howling. Blood mist and gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield.

Xu Jun's armament personnel and horses were organized to adapt to the change of tactics, with about 200 people in each capital and 600 people in one command. There are six teams of soldiers, and one salvo is actually two volleys, one team kneeling in front of the team, and the other team standing...... One reincarnation, that is, six volleys, the distance is only twenty or thirty steps, and it is still shrinking as the attack continues!

The large number of casualties caused by this intensity of firepower was simply unbearable for the Dangxiang and Xi infantry in the atmosphere of defeat! The army had long since collapsed, but the dense infantry formations were in disarray, and it was difficult for those in the middle to run...... There were people in all directions, only desperately squeezing back, and the scene was unbearable to look at, like a riot in the city.

The team of Xu Jun held a simple arquebus against the panicked crowd, it was a massacre! A few men in front of him saw that they couldn't run away, and rushed over with iron knives and screaming.

"Thunderbolt Pop ......" a whole row of white smoke rose up, and the flames flashed with stars. The men twitched like they had gone mad, blood splashed on their chests, and they fell to their knees and fell forward, their weapons falling to the ground and sticking into the loess with a "thud".

In front of the crowd, corpses have piled up! Dark red blood flowed along the sand. In the entire Shura field, it was useless to cry for dad and mother, and for the sky, the wounded soldiers had blood on their hands, and no one paid attention to them when they screamed so loudly that they were hoarse, because they were shouting on all sides.

If this is the world, then there must be another hell on earth!
