Chapter 833: The Power of Firearms (1)

"Give me all the rush! Rush it all! ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, the general still ordered the soldiers to continue to charge, because the front was full of gunsmoke, the soldiers behind couldn't see what was happening in front of them, and under the order of the general, they could only continue to charge.

A breeze blew quietly, blowing away the vast smoke in front of the two armies, revealing the tragic scene in the middle.

At a distance of fifty to one hundred paces on the side of the Tang army, more than a hundred corpses fell at this time, and weapons and shields were scattered all over the ground.

More than a hundred corpses are actually nothing to this thousand-strong team, but the main thing is that the death of these people is too miserable.

All of them were covered in flesh and blood, and most of them had a small blood hole.

Still others did not die, but fell to the ground wailing and screaming.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Great Cho and the country who rushed up behind showed a look of horror on their faces.

A few of the soldiers who were wounded and fled back cried out to their comrades in horror, "They are devils, they are devils!" They... ”

Burst!

Before these people could continue to disturb the morale of the army, the general who was supervising the battle next to him directly pulled out his knife and cut the throats of several people.

"If you dare to disturb the hearts of the army, you should be killed! What are you doing in a daze? Keep going on the offensive for me! Offensive! ”

The remaining soldiers were forced to continue the attack, and after a while, the gunfire continued to be heard.

"Zhao Xiang, something is wrong. The Tang army didn't know what demon magic was used, and our soldiers suffered heavy casualties before they could get close to the Tang army, or... Let's not send out elephant soldiers.

This kind of terrain is just right for the elephant soldiers, the elephant soldiers have rough skin and thick flesh, as long as the elephant soldiers charge in front and break through the defense of the Tang army, our infantry can keep up, and then these Tang troops can only be slaughtered by us. ”

Seeing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, some people couldn't bear it.

Zhao Shancheng hesitated for a moment, nodded, and ordered the elephant soldiers to attack.

However, seeing that the Tang army was only a few thousand people, Zhao Shancheng did not send all the elephant soldiers, but only sent two hundred elephant soldiers.

And he was also worried that in such a narrow place, the elephant soldiers could not be used, and there was no need to send 500 elephant soldiers.

In the more than 100 years since the founding of the country, after a long war, Nanzhao has rich experience in the cooperation of infantry and elephant soldiers.

More than 100 years ago, the Tang army suffered the loss of elephant soldiers, and the elephant soldiers were also invincible in the war against the country of Pi.

However, the state itself also had elephant soldiers, so the combat effect was not as effective as against the Tang army and the Tibetans.

Two hundred elephant soldiers, under the command of the soldiers on their backs, came to the front of the battle slowly, and soon assembled in one place, with the infantry following behind.

Despite the slow advance of the elephants, the elephants are so large and thick that ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt the elephants. And even if the elephant is injured, it will become more violent and lethal.

So when the battle starts, the elephants charge in front and the infantry follow, and when the elephants break the enemy's formation, and the infantry follows the chaotic enemy army, the battle can be declared over.

As for the elephant soldiers, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are unfamiliar.

After the smoke cleared, the soldiers on both sides saw the enemy!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Earth-shattering shouts rang out on the battlefield, and the elephant soldiers steered the elephants, slowly speeding up. When the elephant's huge body slowly ran up, the four hooves stepped on the ground and suddenly it was a not shallow pit, and when the two hundred elephant soldiers launched a charge, the battle was amazing, and the ground under their feet began to tremble violently.

Although there was no fighting, the musketeers in front were a little weak when they saw such a big guy running, can the lead bullet be blocked?

The soldiers in front of them seemed to be very different from before, and the elephant soldiers waved their spears on the elephant's back and shouted loudly, as if they were scattering the formation of the Tang army with great courage.

"The colt, it's an elephant!"

Feeling the earth-shattering battle, the people around Zhang Lian were also a little surprised.

"Command the artillery to open fire, aiming at the enemy elephants, with flowering shells for the first two rows and solid shells for the third row."

Commanding the army was a general surnamed Yang, who himself rode an elephant.

When he led two hundred elephant soldiers to charge, he found that the Tang army in front did not change its formation, but someone in the Tang army behind was holding torches.

That's right, it's the torch.

What's going on? General Yang Jun was puzzled, could it be that the Tang army wanted to attack with fire? Although this time is not the rainy season, the surrounding jungle does not look like it can be attacked by fire!

However, if it was really a fire attack, he was still a little worried, after all, there was nothing that was not afraid of fire, including elephants.

Just after he dispelled the idea that the Tang army might attack with fire, he rushed relatively far forward and saw a scene that impressed him and made him unforgettable.

Those Tang Jun with torches stood in front of one black thing after another, and then someone put a ball?

It may be that a ball was put into the black thing, and then Tang Jun, who was holding a torch, took the torch and lit it on the black thing.

General Yang Jun, who was riding on the elephant, watched the black thing emit a faint smoke, and then one by one the black balls flew up and flew towards the elephant soldiers who were charging.

"Boom, boom!"

Just when he was still wondering, a violent explosion sounded in his ears like thunder, and his ears were buzzed with a huge roar.

In addition to the relatively large balls, there were many small things that flew around the battlefield like afterimages, shooting at the charging elephant, effortlessly shooting through the thick skin of the elephant.

"Whew! Oh! ”

The elephant that rushed to the front suddenly let out a roar of pain, and there were many wounds on its body, which was splashing blood, and the pain from its body and the instinct of the elephant that was frightened by the explosion, felt the danger, and did not dare to run forward, and suddenly stopped.

Sensing that the elephant under him was a little restless, General Yang Jun hurriedly comforted the elephant. At this time, there was a loud 'boom' sound, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a black thing flying towards him, and he subconsciously dodged, and a lead bullet flew past him.

At that moment, he also saw clearly what the black thing was, an 'iron ball'.

As he dodged sideways, he saw the 'iron ball' grazed past him and hit the head of one of the elephants behind him.

"Bang!"

He faintly heard a crisp sound, and the elephant soldier fell straight to the ground, trampled to pulp by the elephant that followed him.

Before he could congratulate himself on his escape, something plunged into the back of his head, and his eyes began to drift and he fell straight down.

The elephant in front slowed down because it was scared and stimulated by pain.

The elephant behind is still rushing forward, and the elephant in front of it stops not running or runs backwards, and as a result, these two hundred elephant soldiers collide together so suddenly, collide with each other, trample on everything on the ground, and for a time the elephant's roar and people's screams come and go, giving people a very miserable feeling.

Zhao Shancheng, who was commanding in the back, was suddenly dumbfounded!

What's going on?

And what kind of weapon is that??

When he saw the elephant soldiers in front of him suffering heavy losses due to chaos, Zhao Shancheng was a little distressed.

If you choose to ignore it at this time, the two hundred elephant soldiers may be over. After hesitating for a while, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he ordered the remaining three hundred elephant soldiers to attack, and they must rush over and tear apart the formation of the Tang army.
