(It's the beginning of the month, so let's vote for a free monthly pass.) )

The defenders on the hillside finally began to counterattack, and the soldiers of the Fallen Goose Army who had emerged from the fortifications began to drop arrows. The crossbow and longbow arrows are dense and ferocious, and the condescending height adds to the power. The rushing cavalry was hit head-on, and in an instant two or three hundred horsemen fell to the ground, and the men and horses rolled and struggled on the slope, and the scene was chaotic.

However, the cavalry of the original Great Zhou Forbidden Army who charged were all well-armoured, and the front team of 5,000 people were equipped with shields to charge, and although the bows and arrows that were blocked were fierce, the effect of the blows caused was not as terrifying as imagined. Although hundreds of horsemen were shot and fell from their horses, the rest of the cavalry rushed dozens of paces in front of the hillside fortifications with their shields on their heads.

Dozens of small melon grenades emitting green smoke flew from the sky and burst through the cavalry, causing a lot of confusion and damage. However, it was clear that the melon was thrown too late, and by this time it was no longer possible to prevent the attacking cavalry from breaking through the first line of fortifications. Amid the earth-shattering explosions and the smoke and dust in the sky, nearly 300 cavalry of the Forbidden Army successfully rushed up the mountainside fortifications. Horses leapt over the low walls of the fortifications and charge the defenders' crossbowmen and grenade throwers behind the fortifications. The defenders of the Fallen Goose Army began to flee to the top of the hillside, and once they were approached by the cavalry, they became lambs to the slaughter, and they had to retreat up the hillside. As they ran, the entire middle of the hill was lost, and the chaos on the hill was immediately reversed, and they soon rushed out of the smoke and dust, and continued to charge towards the top of the hill.

Wang Jun danced happily, his biggest fear was that once the other party launched a counterattack, the 5,000 cavalry would be quickly defeated. Because the firearm that exploded on the other side was too powerful. Bows and arrows were fine, and the cavalrymen had shields and armor to defend themselves from, but the exploding firearms were terrifying. However, the firearms thrown by the opponent only caused a few hundred injuries, and there was no imaginary horror. Wang Jun knew that it was because of the lack of numbers and the late timing of the throw. The shortfall is most likely due to attacks on all sides, and the sheer number of such firearms required is simply not sufficient for an operation of this magnitude. And the timing of the throw is too late because the distance the thing was thrown is too short. If you are on a steep slope, you can roll down the hill, which can increase the distance of human throwing several times. But this is an extremely gentle ramp, and it is impossible for that thing to roll down, and it can be blocked by dirt on the ramp at any time. So they had to wait for their cavalry to come within fifty paces before throwing them down. At this distance, they were allowed to throw only one round, and the cavalry rushed in front of them, and they could only run.

Wang Jun was thrilled that he could quickly comprehend the reason for all that was happening on the battlefield. Who says they have courage and no strategy? If you can quickly comprehend the reason for all this happening on the battlefield, it means that you have been sublimated and are a lot higher than ordinary leading generals. Knowing what happened, you can make more effective adjustments. Wang Jun was ecstatic at his sudden breakthrough in IQ, and he quickly gave the order.

"Everybody gave me all the way up, I didn't have to worry about the formation. Their defenses are weak and they can't give them a chance to adjust. Kill, we will be the first soldiers and horses to rush up the hill. Lu Xiang said that whoever is the first to break through the enemy army on the hill will be rewarded. Wang Jun raised his iron spear and shouted loudly, and at the same time rode his horse and rushed towards the ramp. Inspired by him, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to the ramp.

Originally, the ramp that was hundreds of paces long and more than eighty or ninety paces wide to accommodate 5,000 cavalry was already in a very tight formation, but now the follow-up cavalry swarmed in, and the entire ramp was suddenly full of cavalry, and it was crowded. The crossbow bolts from above kept coming down, but no one cared about the sporadic casualties caused. All the cavalry lunged up the ramp in a way that ignored the enemy's defenses. Who would have imagined that this was an offensive way to face the Falling Wild Goose Army, and this was an offensive formation facing the Falling Wild Goose Army with powerful firearms. They don't yet know what the price will be paid for it.

Above the ramp, the 5,000 defenders led by Nguyen Binh, the deputy commander of the Infantry of the Luoyan Army, guarded the second and last line of defense. Faced with the enemy cavalry who rushed to the middle of the ramp and were about to rush to the front of the defensive line, Nguyen Binh waved his hand and gave the order.

"A swarm of swarms to operate the whole team to prepare, listen to my orders."

Hundreds of swarm bazooka operators were actually ready for a long time, and they quickly lifted the rain cloth covering the shell of the swarm bazooka placed on the ten earthen platforms, exposing this kind of large-scale killing weapon that is the protagonist of today's battle of the Falling Goose Army to the sun.

The ramp here is one of the narrower of the six gentle slopes, so only ten swarm bazooka installations have been allocated here. Ten earthen platforms had been built earlier, and the ten earthen platforms were built ten steps apart, and the ramps about 100 steps wide were blocked in a row. A circular base has been placed on the earthen platform, and ten swarm bazookas have all been placed in place. Covering it with a curtain is naturally to protect against dust and water, so that a swarm of bees can maintain the best firing condition. At this moment, the curtain is lifted, and the black conical cylinder is exposed to everyone's field of vision like a huge metal horn, and the smooth outer cylinder reflects the luster of the metal under the sunlight, and the shape is weird and cool, which looks full of style.

These ten swarm bazookas, as well as more than 4,000 crossbowmen, plus less than 1,000 small melon grenades, are all the belongings in Ruan Binh's hands today. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the hill from other places, small melon grenades and a large number of repeaters had to be supplied elsewhere first, and the more gentle slopes that cavalry could charge, the more crossbows and melon grenades could be defended. Lin Dashuai's arrangement is confusing, but there is no way to do it. Although the number of small melons is huge, it cannot withstand the consumption

Consumes too fast. The cost of bows and arrows is also huge. So they have to be distributed properly so that they can be used to the fullest extent. The effect of the melon grenade on the gentle slope is actually not as strong as the effect in other places, and it cannot create the collapse and chaos of the slope, and it is impossible to stop the opponent's attack by relying on lethality alone. So, all hope is pinned on a swarm of bazookas.

At this moment, the defenders on the slope were actually muttering in their hearts. The vast majority of them thought that they could withstand the attack of the other side with these ten swarms of bazookas. All they could do was to shoot their bows and arrows at the swarming opponents again and again, hoping to shoot more enemy cavalry. But unlike their mood, Ruan Ping's hundreds of swarm bazooka operators were excited. Only they knew how powerful the opponent's firepower was under such a dense charge formation and the joint blockade of ten bazookas. The swarm of bazooka has undergone several refinements, and has evolved from the original version to a terrifying stage. They had never shown their power before, and even many of the soldiers in the Falling Goose Army had not seen the power of the latest test launch of a swarm of bazookas, so they were not confident.

The attacking cavalry had already rushed to the upper end of the ramp, and a hundred paces further would rush up the hill. The bows and arrows of the defenders above fell into the cavalry formation without pain, and although many horses fell, the fallen cavalry was soon trampled into flesh under the torrent of iron hooves, unable to stop the rapid advance of the cavalry formation. In the eyes of all the cavalrymen, the attack on the hill was already a sure thing. They will be the first cavalry to storm the hill, and this is a sure thing.

However, they had no idea what kind of brutal blow they were about to suffer.

"A swarm of bazookas, launch." Above the top of the slope, Ruan Ping shouted the order, and at the same time lit a torch in his hand and lit a fuse behind a swarm of bazooka in front of him.

The igniters of the remaining nine firing teams ignited the fuses on their sides almost simultaneously. Bright flames snorted, and the flames spread along the lead, quickly burrowing into the back of the bazooka and disappearing, except for a faint plume of smoke emerging from the small hole. Then, a long screech resounded through the four fields, and a rocket with a long tail flame and a sharp whistling sound shot out from the front of the bazooka in front of Ruan Ping. It didn't even shoot directly at the cavalry below, but slashed diagonally into the air to one side, twisting its tail flame like a viper before plunging into the torrent of cavalry below.

The rocket seemed to awaken the cry of all the arrows that had been sleeping in the bazookas, and as it screeched, ten swarms of bazookas poured out their rockets on the hillside at almost the same time. The swarm of bazooka launchers of the Luoyan Army is already all in sixty-four configurations. As the name suggests, each rocket launcher rains out sixty-four rockets in a matter of breaths. It really achieves the effect of a swarm of bees pouring out of the nest. The ten crosses on the hillside shot out 640 rockets in a few breaths. Its scale and power can be imagined.

If you think that a rocket of this magnitude is not even as powerful as a salvo of bows and arrows of thousands, you are very mistaken. These rockets exhibit fan-shaped irregular launches, covering a sector of thirty or forty paces in cross-section. Coupled with their irregular trickery, shields are largely useless against them. You can block the front, but you can't block the rockets that come down from the back of the side or even from the overhead with a sudden turn. What's even more terrifying is not that.

First of all, the strong penetration of a swarm of rockets will be unimaginable to everyone. Arrows equipped with iron arrows can penetrate the opponent's body under the strong push of gunpowder. Lin Jue has done tests, and the impact penetration of the rocket is comparable to that of a bed crossbow. And the power of the bed crossbow can definitely penetrate the human body. In other words, each rocket has the power to penetrate the opponent's body, and this lethality is not comparable to that of ordinary bows and crossbows. In the face of the cavalry of the former Great Zhou Dynasty dressed in excellent armor, ordinary bows and arrows could shoot through their armor, but they could never be killed with one or two arrows. Because after the armor blocks, the arrow can only penetrate the flesh for a few points, and it is difficult to shoot the opponent unless it is a vital shot. This is also the reason why thousands of archers shoot down, but the opponent has few casualties. However, in a swarm, it only takes one rocket to pierce the body of a knight in armor, making their armor as unprotective as a piece of paper. A single arrow can kill or incapacitate an opponent.

Secondly, the power of the rocket lies in the subsequent damage it brings after it is shot. In addition to the gunpowder push, the improved swarm rocket also has a powder sac at the end, and after shooting into the opponent's formation, the powder sac at the end will burst, resulting in a small burst effect. In addition to causing the wound of the person who was hit by the arrow to basically burst open, turning minor injuries into serious injuries and making the seriously injured mortal, it will also ignite the opponent's armor, clothing, hair, beard, horsehair and other flammable materials due to the violent combustion of gunpowder. The subsequent explosion and burning of gunpowder is the more brutal and inhumane place for a swarm of bazookas. But it's also a source of fear and breakdown for the other side.

In addition, the most terrifying point is that a swarm of bees with the above two powerful lethality and deterrence can launch thousands of rockets in the shortest time. Let the lethality and deterrence of this horror reach the extreme, and at the same time, it also reaches the extreme of the enemy's psychological defense.

In just a few breaths, six hundred and forty rockets roared with a piercing roar, and pungent smoke and blinding flames poured down into the charging cavalry formation below. The flares of all the bazookas resemble a gate to hell spewing flames and smoke, and the rockets drag the trail of smoke and fire across the entire area above the hillside

The striking planes overlapped each other, and the dense cavalry contingent a hundred paces away was soon enveloped in smoke and flames.

The terrible screech of the rocket filled the ear drums, like the screams of hell for their lives. The eyes are full of fireworks and firelight, like sparks falling from the sky. The cavalrymen, who were still in a hurry, were stunned by the sudden blow of the rockets, and most of them had never experienced such a firearm blow. Only a small percentage of them had participated in the battle against the Wild Goose Valley, but that was several years ago, and they had forgotten what it was like before. It wasn't until they heard the whistling of the rockets and saw the ferocity of the swarming rockets that they were suddenly reminded of the terrifying memories of the beginning.

Within a few breaths, six hundred and forty rockets struck the cavalry formation with a terrible screech, a blinding firework, and irregular flying at various angles. Armor is piercing, flesh is splashing, flames are bursting. The smoke was pungent and the smoke was thick, and the entire battlefield within a hundred paces of the slope was immediately out of sight, unable to see. In the midst of the dazzling smoke, the rockets penetrated the flesh of the centaurs wantonly, and the flames splashed and burned wantonly. The sting of the arrow into the flesh and the burning pain of the flame spread as fast as possible, and the cavalry who were shot were not enough, but those who were not shot were inevitably contaminated with the burst of gunpowder. As a result, there was a huge chaos in the panic of not seeing things in the smoke and dust. The horses were burned and jumped in fright, and the soldiers were even more panicked and screamed in horror after their bodies were on fire.

All in all, the smoke within a radius of two hundred paces below the ramp glittered red, and from the smoke came a terrible scream like hell, as if a demon was wreaking havoc in the billowing smoke. The entire attacking cavalry front was in a state of extreme panic and confusion in an instant.

But that's just the beginning. Above the hillside, after a round of rockets had been fired in a very short time, the well-trained equipment had already lifted the entire plate of arrows onto the earthen platform. In order to solve the problem of slow rocket assembly, Lin Jue has already improved the swarm of bazooka into a modular assembly method. To put it simply, a bazooka is equipped with three discs for arrows, and the round discs of the same size are already filled with sixty-four arrows. After one disc of arrows is fired, it is only necessary to hook out the empty arrow disc with an iron hook, assemble the inner core of another disc full of arrows as a whole, and pull the fuse out of the rear round hole. The whole process is incredibly quick. With the cooperation of skilled operators, the whole process can be completed in just over ten minutes.

All the operators are quickly coordinated, and their respective divisions of labor are clear. Soon the second round of launches began again. In the second round of fire-breathing, the third inner core filled with arrows had been lifted underneath and ready to be replaced. The empty discs that had been removed were immersed in large wooden barrels and quickly cooled, and then seven or eight people began to assemble new rockets at the same time.

With three rounds in a cycle, it may take some buffering and cooldown time between each cycle, but who can survive three consecutive rounds of bazooka swarms?

The cavalry on the hillside gave the answer.

If the first round of swarm rockets caught the charging cavalry off guard, but in fact, the real damage caused was only limited, and it only caused chaos in the formation, then the second and third rounds of swarm rockets brought devastating damage. The rain of arrows swept across the front line of the cavalry down the slope with a terrible howl, and almost all the thousands of cavalry in panic and fear in the smoke were hit by arrows. The horses rolled on the ramp, the horses on fire scattered and fled in all directions, and the entire cavalry front could not advance half a step, on the contrary, their fallen and wounded corpses became a huge obstacle to the rear charging cavalry. The ramp, which had been unobstructed, was blocked by their own attacking team. A large number of horses were frightened and rushed down the slope, and the cavalry charge formation was immediately disorganized. There was a barricade of smoke and corpses in front, and a jam of cavalry and charging horses in the back, trampling each other in front and back, and the screams and screams of terror made the entire hillside a hellish existence.

Can you imagine the cavalry on fire in the smoke in front of you crying and charging towards you, and you can remain indifferent? Can you see the cavalry next to you being shot by a rocket, bursting into a hollow in the chest and abdomen, and the flesh and blood being blown away? Can you dare to rush forward after witnessing the dense soldiers and horses in front of you being nailed to the ground by the roaring rockets in an instant? In less than a short tea time, the cavalry soldiers and horses who were full of confidence thought that they were going to rush up the hill fell from the clouds to hell, and under the swift and ruthless and cruel blows of the opponent, under the powerful clearance of unknown means and the huge shock of visual and auditory, the psychological defense line of the charging cavalry completely collapsed.

It's not that they're cowardly, and they're not a rabble, but the well-trained cavalry of the former Great Zhou Forbidden Army. This is by no means their problem, but the situation they are encountering today is beyond their psychological bottom line and beyond their perceived means of warfare. It's like if you want to get rid of a bad person, when you know that the other person is just a person like you, you are not so afraid, and the worst outcome is just death at the hands of the other person. However, when you see the square like a demon, with great powers, and know that his way of killing people is to grab you and chew your flesh and bones, and eat you alive in one bite, do you dare to fight him? All you can do is run for your life.

Therefore, under the terrifying striking and lethal power of the swarm and the huge psychological destruction of the enemy's troops, the cavalry began to retreat in a panic. The retreat began as chaotic, but soon turned into a trampling of the entire army and a desperate rout.
