Chapter 366: Fierce Battle Mengkeng (2)
As the commander of this army of more than 10,000, Li Chengsi did not charge with the army.
Living in a high place, he naturally saw the cavalry rushing to the front falling on his back, and the vicinity where the black thing fell, as if it had become a forbidden area.
Especially when he saw the fall of Li Cunjin, the righteous son of Li Keyong, who was the general under his command and the king of the county, Li Chenghe's whole person trembled, and said hysterically, "What is that?" ”
None of the people around him could answer his question, because no one had ever seen it.
However, Wang Qian hesitated, "I seem to have heard that there is something that can explode in the hands of the imperial court, I don't know if it's this... ”
The general next to him didn't have time to ask Wang Qiang, and when he saw the high-speed impact team suddenly slowing down, his tone trembled a little, "General, what should I do now?" ”
"What to do?" Li Chengji suddenly realized the importance of this big battle, took a sharp breath, and forced himself to calm down, "Attack, you must attack, destroy that army!" ”
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
On the side of the forbidden army, looking at the scene in front of them, the surrounding generals felt a little incredible.
Fu Cunxian couldn't help but ask, his tone trembling a little, "General, what kind of weapon is this?" ”
"The new weapons manufactured by these ordnance superintendents at the request of His Majesty are called artillery. The range of the cannon can reach up to 500 paces, and the ammunition that was fired just now was called a flowering bullet, which contained 100 lead bullets that would scatter in all directions after landing, so it became the scene just now. ”
Liu Kui said what he knew.
Although Liu Kui thought that he was very detailed, the people around him were still confused, and they didn't quite understand why this weapon was so powerful, and it could make the powerful Shatuo cavalry lose it.
Chang Xingru next to him was even more shocked, it seems that after he returns to Shaanzhou, he must be more honest and resolutely not betray the court, otherwise he will be finished with a few shots of this kind of artillery.
On the contrary, with the court, he may still make a lot of contributions, and it is not impossible to be crowned a king.
Thinking of this, Chang Xingru strengthened his thoughts.
I heard that the imperial court opened a martial arts school, and when I went back, I sent a few boys from the family to the martial arts.
This gun is actually not particularly powerful, it has the advantage of being easy to carry.
The name of this artillery is Shenji Cannon, with a total length of two feet and eight inches, a total weight of 50 catties, and is made of bronze.
The head of the gun is erected by two iron claws, and there is an iron trip, the gun body must be fixed on the ground with a large iron nail, each launch can be loaded with 100 small lead or small stones weighing 5 money, and the top is pressed with a large lead bullet or large stone bullet weighing 30 taels, and the large and small bullets fly out together when fired, the roar is like thunder, the lethality and the radiation range are very large, especially suitable for field combat, bombardment cavalry or infantry dense combat formation, effectively suppress its crazy offensive.
Seeing this, in fact, many people will find that this is not the tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty?
It is indeed a tiger squat cannon, but it is a little different from the tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, the barrel is made of bronze, the length is slightly longer, and the firing range is slightly longer.
The distance of firing this small lead bullet can only reach 320 steps, but the killing range is very large, which is somewhat different from the real flowering bullet, but the effect is similar.
The range of firing iron bullets is as high as 500 steps, but due to the nature of the cannon, it is determined that it is more effective in firing those small lead bullets, especially against dense cavalry phalanxes like the one in front of you.
At present, the god machine cannon is only equipped with the god machine battalion, each team is equipped with 2 guns, and each team is equipped with 32 guns, and a total of three are currently equipped with this kind of god machine gun.
In addition, there is also a large artillery cannon - Shence General Cannon, which weighs more than 200 catties and is also made of bronze. This range is even longer and more powerful, and it can fire 7 catties, 3 catties and 1 catties of iron bullets.
However, due to the cost, there are not many of them, but only 16 doors.
Strictly speaking, if the Shence General Cannon does not have an advantage in range, it is actually not as good as the Tiance Cannon.
However, the Tiance cannon is relatively bulky, and this is also what must be experienced in the development of artillery.
Li Ye also wanted to use steel to make artillery, but the steel technology was not very mature, and the cannon was blown up without firing a few rounds.
Therefore, Li Ye is more optimistic about this god machine cannon, which is flexible and convenient, and it is very powerful.
"The first and third battalions use solid bullets, and the second and fourth battalions use flowering bullets!"
"Quick, clean the chamber and replace it with solid bullets!"
Hearing the general's order, Zuo Pingcang's eyes turned red, and he commanded the soldier next to him.
The soldier next to him hurriedly cleaned the gun chamber quickly, and then took out an iron solid bullet from a different wooden box and stuffed it into the gun chamber!
"Ignition! Put! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three-pound iron solid bullet flew out quickly, directly hitting the first Shatuo cavalry, and half of the head disappeared immediately, and the red and white things splattered everywhere.
After hitting the first person, the unabated iron bullet continued to fly forward, smashing several cavalry and several war horses in a row before stopping.
And this slipped past and a strange passage appeared, and flesh and blood flew on both sides of the passage.
The killing range of a solid bullet is not as good as that of a flowering bullet, but as long as it is touched by a solid bullet, it is either dead or injured, and it is the kind that cannot be saved.
Seeing that the distance between the Shatuo cavalry and the artillery of the Shenji Battalion was less than 100 steps, Liu Kui knew that the cavalry should be dispatched, the Shenji Battalion was Li Ye's treasure, and if the loss was too great, he would not be able to deal with it.
"Pass the order, the cavalry will attack!"
With the wave of the command flag, four different cavalry bypassed the artillery of the Shenji Battalion in the middle and rushed towards the Shatuo cavalry.
And when the cavalry of the forbidden army moved, Li Chenghe, who was watching the battle on the top of the mountain, looked at the cavalry that was obviously divided into four strands, and under the sun, three different armors were obviously revealed.
Why is it three colors of armor, because the armor of the Right Shence Army and the Left Yulin Army are the same, and the main color of the armor is earthy yellow, but there are slight differences to distinguish different armies. But this should be just two colors of armor, after all, in addition to the forbidden army, there are only 1,500 Shaanzhou cavalry who are Chang Xingru.
The reason for this is because there is a cavalry with black horses and black armor and black robes in the middle of the team, although there are few people, only a thousand people.
But when Li Chengsi saw the black-armored cavalry that was the same as the Shatuo cavalry, his face changed greatly!
"Mounted cavalry!"
The mounted cavalry is also a heavy cavalry, although it has not been seen for a long time, but I didn't expect the court to secretly form a heavy cavalry!
And apparently the imperial army is centered on this thousand heavy cavalry!
Jiang Xiong, who rushed to the front, looked at the heavy cavalry behind him through the cold armor, and the whole person was excited.
"Divine strategy, sweep away thousands of armies!"
"Yulin is invincible and invincible!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The cavalry let out a deafening roar.
Jiang Xiong, who rushed to the front, locked his eyes on the oncoming Shatuo cavalry, waved the horse lance in his hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped out violently with the war horse under his crotch.
Although there are only 1,000 heavy cavalry, their momentum is huge, and their hooves are like thunder, even in the face of the famous Shatuo cavalry, they are still not afraid!
