Chapter 1132: The Dawn of Blood (2)
Yang Jun was a little annoyed, the other party saw that his army did not immediately flee in a hurry, nor did he surrender immediately. Looking at it like this, it seems that there is a sense of war. This made Yang Jun feel a sense of disrespect.
"Why didn't they run away in a hurry? Are you going to fight me? Yang Jun asked with a squint.
"Hui-sama, it seems to be. They seem to be trying to stop the charge of our cavalry. The general next to him replied.
"Hahahaha." The generals burst out laughing as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't take it lightly, Lord Lin is a leader. Don't forget that quelling the rebellion of the bandits is the work of Lord Lin. Hundreds of horsemen broke into the 10,000-strong formation, but Lord Lin had done it. Someone reminded.
Yang Jun turned his head to stare at the general, and said coldly, "You mean, we are as vulnerable as the bandits?" ”
The general hurriedly bowed his hand in fright and said: "Don't dare to be humble, humiliation is just ...... Just a reminder, don't underestimate the enemy. ”
Yang Jun angrily reprimanded: "Underestimate the enemy? That's also an enemy? The old man knows that there are people in your army who worship Lin Jue as a god. Especially after the counterinsurgency, some people privately blew Lin Jue to the sky, and the five bodies that he admired threw himself to the ground. What is both civil and military, what wisdom and courage are unparalleled. Some people also say that he is the number one player in my big week. Hehe, if he is the number one general, then what is the old man? And what is the general of the Zhenxi Army Company? What are you? Originally, the old man thought that this argument was only circulating among the guards and soldiers, after all, they had fought with Lin Jue, and it was understandable to praise him. But I didn't expect that there was also such a person in the guard Ma Junsi, and the old man was surprised. ”
The general felt that his words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and hurriedly confessed again.
Yang Jun turned his head to look at the hundreds of people standing on the street riding horses in front of him, and said coldly: "The mantis arm is a car, and the grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is beyond his strength." Today, the old man will let you see how you think that the first place of the Great Zhou will beg for mercy under the iron hooves of my cavalry. Let's see what he can do to resist the charge of our army. Generals, the whole team charged. After taking Lin Jue and King Liang's father and son, we can also collect our troops and return to the camp to rest. Such a trivial matter, it has been delayed for too long, and the old man is sleepy. ”
The trumpets sounded continuously, and the hoofs were mixed. In a short time, the cavalry was ready to charge. Due to the limited width of the street, only more than 20 rides can be side-by-side. But it doesn't matter. In the face of absolute power, the elements of any so-called war are not so important. such as the right time and place is not a decisive factor in the current situation. The comparison of the forces of the two sides cannot be compared at all, five or six thousand cavalry plus more than four thousand infantry in the square, while the other side is less than a thousand people, this is a completely one-sided situation.
Soon, the first detachments of fifteen hundred cavalry charged. The iron hooves of the war horse were as rapid as a storm on the bluestone ground, and the war horse fed with essence was strong and strong, and the running power was powerful. The horsemen on horseback were also well-trained, with their bodies half-prostrated on their horses, and their long swords raised high. Like an impending dark cloud, the wind is speeding and unstoppable.
Ahead, Lin Jue led the Lin family's escort team and hundreds of palace guards to stand on horseback, and they used crossbows and strong crossbows. Bow and arrow, ready to attack. When the opposing cavalry entered a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, Lin Jue burst out with a loud shout.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Buzz! Puff puff! The sound of the bowstring beating like the rapid agitation of wasp wings gives goosebumps all over the body. Lin Jue and the others, who were arranged in a three-dimensional formation to meet the formation, could fire extreme crossbow arrows in a position where only twenty or thirty horsemen could be juxtaposed in a cross-section, as long as they were staggered and side-by-side formations. What's more, some of the palace guards are standing on the ground, kneeling, squatting and standing. This three-dimensional, front-and-back cross-facing formation can fire more than 200 crossbow arrows at one time. In such a narrow street, almost all of them are met in a straight line, the lethality caused is terrifying.
It's like a few machine guns mounted at a narrow intersection. Cross-strafing, no dead ends. The necessary move to rush up.
The advance is also extremely accurate, and the distance of one hundred and fifty paces begins to shoot, which is the limit distance of a crossbow arrow. Even the limit distance of the repeater has been exceeded. However, by the time the crossbow bolts were fired, the opposing cavalry had already rushed forward more than twenty paces, just in time to send themselves into the range of the crossbow arrows.
But when he saw the cavalry rushing forward, the blood bloomed on the front row of men and horses. Under the dim street lamps, the blood flowers are as gorgeous and poignant as the flowers blooming on the bodies of people and horses. But each flower of blood represents blood and violence, death and suffering.
It's like a giant ghost scythe sweeping through the grass. When the rain of arrows came, a row of more than 30 horsemen in front of them all fell down. The horse rolled on the ground, and the rider was thrown into the air, and then fell to the ground screaming. The ground was full of tumbling horses and riders, and the situation was terrible.
It wasn't over yet, the second round of arrows came mercilessly, and more cavalry rolled in pools of blood on the ground, screaming. The bluestone floor was soon stained with blood and turned a dark color.
Yang Jun and the others in the rear were expressionless, this kind of scene had actually been expected for a long time, and the cavalry charge was always accompanied by this cruel scene. The opponent's crossbow arrows always inflicted casualties on the cavalry. However, this does not mean a loss in the battle. Everyone understands that the cavalry charge has a distance, and before it hits the enemy position, it is the stage of passive beating. Even if you rush in front of the enemy formation, you will still encounter the killing and wounding of the horse rejection formation and the spear formation. But after breaking through the enemy lines, it was the beginning of the cavalry slaughter. Until then, those costs must be paid.
Although the people turned on their backs, the blood was everywhere. In a short time, more than 100 cavalrymen died on the way to the charge. However, Yang Jun knew that the opponent would shoot a maximum of four to five rounds of arrows at this distance, and then his own cavalry would rush in front of them, and then everything would be over. There may be hundreds of casualties, but this is the price that must be paid.
As Yang Jun expected, even if Lin Jue and the others had fierce firepower, there were still fish that slipped through the net. After five rounds of arrows, the charging cavalry rushed thirty paces in front of the enemy's position. The 1,500 cavalry suffered only 400 casualties, and the rest of the cavalry broke through the enemy line as soon as it was a massacre. Moreover, the second group of a thousand cavalry had already begun to charge, and there was no doubt that the next time was time to crush and slaughter. Seeing this, Yang Jun even smiled at the corner of his mouth, and reached out and began to stroke his beard.
"Ready! Launch! Facing the cavalry that was close at hand, Lin Jue calmly issued an order.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The continuous roar was like the thunder of a rainstorm, earth-shattering and deafening. In the darkness where black smoke rises, dozens of sparks bloom. The overwhelming iron marbles were like dense hailstones, blocking the entire street. There are no dead ends, no omissions. Even the mosquitoes flying in the air are afraid that they will not be able to escape this dense barrage.
Dozens of Wang Ba boxes were launched at the same time, allowing thousands of iron bullets to form a dense barrage. In the next moment, these iron bullets stirred up countless flesh and blood, penetrating countless flesh and blood. If we say that the reason why the opponent can rush to the front of the battle in the rain of arrows, it is because the cavalry charge speed is extremely fast, and the second is because the strength of the bow and crossbow is not strong enough, and it often cannot cause absolute kills to the cavalry wearing excellent armor. Then, at this moment, at a distance of twenty paces, within the effective range of the Eight Kings Box, the power of these iron bullets was even stronger than that of bows and arrows.
Although the armor is excellent, it is difficult to defeat the might of firearms. As long as the cavalry and war horses rushing in front of them were touched, a blood flower bloomed, and they were pierced by these iron bullets. This is the most domineering and powerful anti-cavalry weapon, the fine iron bullets can not only shoot all the cavalry in the front, but also penetrate the gap between men and horses to knock down the cavalry in the rear.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The box is still firing continuously, and the bursts of muskets are a complete revolution. The burst musket multipliers increase the power of the musket by several times, so you don't have to worry about running out of ammo. Join. The magazine can make you fire five shots in a row, and even if there are ten or eight people standing in front of you, you don't have to worry about not having time to change the pouch.
Muskets roared, horses neighed, flesh flew sideways. Everyone watched all this in amazement, until everything calmed down and the smoke and dust cleared, and what appeared in front of everyone was an apocalyptic scene.
Within thirty steps in front of Lin Jue and the others, the corpses of people and horses were piled up, and flesh and blood fragments were all over the ground. There was still curling green smoke from their corpses. Someone wailed and writhed in the corpse. The wounded horse neighed and rolled on the ground. The blood gathered into a stream and flowed into the culvert next to the street, and even made a rattling sound.
Of the 1,500 cavalrymen who charged, almost none of them could still stand on the ground, except for more than 100 people in the rear who saw that the situation was not good and turned around. All were killed by arrows and muskets.
Yang Jun looked at all this dumbfounded, his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and it hurt so much. He couldn't believe it was all true. What kind of firearm is that, and it is so powerful. They were able to kill all the cavalry that charged in front of them in a very short time. The distance is only twenty or thirty paces, and in terms of cavalry, it is only a matter of a moment, but it is the distance of these twenty or so paces, which is as insurmountable as a ghost gate. Everyone died at this pass.
Not only did everyone on Yang Jun's side drop their jaws in shock, but on Lin Jue's side, the palace guards, and even the Lin family's guards didn't expect the power of firearms to be so fierce. Even Lin Jue himself saw the power of mass firing of large-scale firearms for the first time. At this moment, his ears were still ringing, and his heart was pounding. But obviously, his prediction worked, and this was Lin Jue's last killer move. If firearms hadn't stopped it, they would all die here today.
Of course, Lin Jue knew that in fact, the reason for such a result was also because of the terrain of today's battle. The narrow terrain makes it possible for your firearms to be fired intensively. If you fight in the field and surround it from all directions, you will have no power to return to heaven. The other side suffers because the force cannot be fully utilized, and he did not expect that he has such a means at all. Therefore, it is absolutely a mistake to one-sidedly think that firearms are invincible. Lin Jue clearly realized this.
