Chapter 668: Attack with all your might
The war, a war that decided the whole of Shaanxi, opened the most magnificent and splendid curtain in the roar of the red-coated artillery of the official army.
The iron ball, rubbed into a dark red by gunpowder and air, roared across the frozen Wei River and pounced on the large array of intruding troops.
A projectile flew past the tall banner of the word, and the scorching wave of air scorched the corner of the flag, making the banner even more bloody and fearless.
The iron egg with huge kinetic energy, whistling, plunged into the longbow soldier's array, smashed between the waist and abdomen of a brother, did not have time to scream, the brother was beaten in two, no more physiology, with this mass of flesh and blood, the iron egg smashed into the hard frozen ground, bounced up again, instantly smashed a brother's thigh, the lower leg immediately separated from the brother's body, the brother fell down, both hands subconsciously hugged the broken leg, hissing cold air, he didn't shout and scream, because, he knew, His own screams will shake the morale of the army.
The iron egg's kinetic energy diminished, but it still pulled down one brother's foot, and then stopped in front of the other brother's toe, but the brother didn't even mean to look at the iron egg that was spinning in front of his toes and still glowing with heat, still clenching his longbow and staring ahead, waiting for the captain's order.
An iron egg is a flesh and blood alley, causing a terrible crack to appear in the tight army formation.
However, at this time, a team of white-clothed women's troops, carrying stretchers, quickly shuttled between the large arrays, and after simply dealing with those injured brothers, they put them on stretchers and quickly carried them away.
And the bombardment of these cannons did not affect anyone, including those firearms battalion brothers who were at the forefront of arranging Tiger Zun and bed crossbows.
Not only were they not disturbed, but they accelerated their work even more, and although they were nervous, they were still in order.
Boom, boom, a series of artillery sounds exploded on the west bank of the Wei River, it was the official army's Huzun cannon sounded, closely almost connected into one, and a large white smoke instantly obscured the official army's large array.
However, the power of these Tiger Zun is much smaller than the red-clothed cannons, and the casting quality of the Tiger Zun, and the power of their gunpowder are simply miserable, so even if hundreds of Tiger Zun are launched, most of them are powerless to fall not far from the west bank of the Wei River, or fall on the ice of the Wei River, and on the ice of the Wei River that has reached the bottom, countless ice pits have been made, but the damage over the Wei River is very small, and the loss this time is simply negligible compared to the previous red-clothed cannon.
"We must eliminate the red-coated cannons of the official army." Chen Che stepped forward and whispered a suggestion.
"Yes, we have to take him out first, his threat is too great." Chen Ce doesn't like this somewhat gloomy family, but it doesn't mean that this kid is not insightful, and he also suggests to Lu Shi.
Lu Shi knew the power of this red-clothed cannon, outside the pass, he could hold the Jinning defense line, thanks to this big killing weapon, even Nurhachi was injured by him (although it may also be Yuan Chonghuan's lying about his exploits) This cannon was the existence of modern nuclear weapons at that time.
"Wang Jian, go and ask, is the bed crossbow explosives package ready?" Lu Shi commanded with a frown.
"Slow, it's too slow, it seems that the usual training is still not enough." Lu Shi muttered. Wu Tao, who was following him, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
King Chuang felt slow, but the urgency of the battlefield gave people the feeling, in fact, he saw that the speed of the brothers who arranged the positions on the firearms battalion position was at least twice as fast as the usual training.
Without waiting for Wang Jian to urge the horse to ask, a war horse galloped over from the firearms battalion, shouting from afar: "Qi Yu Chuang Wang, the firearms camp bed crossbow is ready, please Chuang Wang give the order to attack." ”
When Lu Shi heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he ordered loudly to the visitor: "Explosives package, target officer and army's red-coated cannon - fire." ”
The commander repeated loudly, and did not stop the horse and directly made a circle in front of the formation, and galloped back to the firearms battalion formation.
As the red flag in the hands of a commander in the distance fell firmly, huge spears with ten-pound explosive bags flew out of the trajectory angrily, roared into the sky, and then plunged into the large array of officers and soldiers.
Quiet, as if the battlefield had fallen asleep, quiet and strange, everyone held their breath, staring at the other side of the Wei River with wide eyes, waiting for the results of the explosives pack, hoping to destroy them before the redcoat cannon was fired again, so that they would not hurt themselves or their brothers again.
In the dense smoke of gunpowder on the other side, it was surprisingly calm.
Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the dense gunsmoke, and then it suddenly erupted and scattered in all directions, and a dark red fireball erupted, and then, dozens of such flames chased, converged, and finally merged into a strand, like a hideous beast tumbling and twisting straight into the sky.
At this time, a sound like thunder came from the opposite bank, and with the sound coming, a shock wave roared, blowing all the military flags in the large array of the intruding army and turning their direction at once.
Zixiu was unprepared, one couldn't stand up, and almost fell off the horse. It took a long time to stabilize his body and mutter, "This, how much explosives are needed here." ”
Wu Tao replied with a smile: "In order to miss one hit, this time we fired fifty explosive packages at a time, each pack of twenty catties of refined explosives, a total of one thousand catties." ”
Zixiu's whole person was petrified.
The explosives invented by King Chuang, he has seen it, ten catties of explosives are placed in the mountain, a sound, it is a landslide and the ground cracks, and thousands of catties of rocks will be peeled off the mountain in an instant, which shows its great power, and now, a thousand catties of explosives are fired and exploded together, and it seems that there are no more officers and soldiers on the west bank of the Wei River. This victory came too quickly. With such a sharp weapon, who else can defeat the entire Ming Dynasty? Destroying. When he hit Beijing, it was just the speed of walking, and when he raised his eyes to look at the tall and straight back of King Chuang, Zixiu was full of infinite reverie.
However, the war is not as perfect as Zixiu imagined, in fact, the explosive power produced by ten catties of explosives smashed into a narrow stone hole and ten catties of explosives wrapped in cotton cloth is not comparable, and its power is only one-tenth, so that even this cannot be done.
However, the effect of the explosives package was still revealed, and the six red-clothed cannons that were eyeing each other had fallen from place to place, completely turning into piles of scrap iron, and there was no value at all.
The worst thing is that those officers and gunners, flesh and intestines fly everywhere, scorched and broken corpses are scattered everywhere, although some officers and soldiers are not dead, but one by one like walking corpses around in the same place, they have long been unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and a group of men and horses, just quietly fell on the ground, asleep, quiet, peaceful.
The officers and officers in the distance were already in these screams and panics, and began to desperately drive a team of soldiers to fill the blank battlefield that had been blurred by flesh and blood, and one after another all kinds of chariots were righted and put away, everyone knew that this was a decisive battle, defeat and escape, for Shaanxi officials, it was not even a thought.
Like the current Lu Shichuang army, they have no way to retreat, and only when they are defeated can they have a way out, even if that way out is only temporary.
The fragmented battle formation was formed again, and the gap that had just opened was blocked again, but there was no fear of this, because there were still continuous blows from the invading army.
The improved bed crossbow was reloaded again at the fastest speed, and at this time, the Tiger Zun cannon that had been loaded began to exert its might, and as Captain Zhang's red flag fell, the two hundred Tiger Zun cannons fired in order.
The Tiger Zun of the army is not comparable to the Tiger Zun of the official army, it is all cast with high-quality steel produced by the steelmaking plant, light but rigorous, and because of the high-quality steel, the body tube has become longer, the shooting distance is farther, and the gunpowder that is propelled has also been changed to black explosive charge, that power, in the closed gas chamber produced by the smooth gun chamber, exerted their greatest kinetic energy, at this time, abandoned the shotgun and modified the lead bullet, one by one the Tiger Zun was fired sequentially, and the iron eggs pushed out by the high-explosive gunpowder were pushed out, It has reached a speed that is difficult for the human eye to visualize, whistling, crossing the boundary of the Wei River and directly rushing into the enemy position.
Under the over-control of the soldiers who have been trained in countless ammunition, the two hundred Huzun flew into the camp of the officers and soldiers almost without missing a bullet, and with the flying of small iron eggs, it was a series of flesh and blood alleys, screams and wails one after another, and the psychological pressure brought to the officers and soldiers by the screams of one hundred or dozens of flesh and blood alleys, which magnified this tragedy even more.
The large array of officers and soldiers has begun to loosen, and one by one the soldiers began to watch in fear with swords and guns, and their bodies were constantly retreating backwards, hoping that they would be the first to retreat into the army formation, as if as long as they retreated, it would be safe.
Seeing that at this time, another batch of explosives bags flew up, and once again exploded in the panicked officers and soldiers, and when Huzun was loading the bed crossbow and preparing, Lu Shiling raised his flag.
Five thousand longbowmen shouted: "Aggression is like fire." He raised the longbow in his hand with a bang, loaded the giant arrows on the string, and struggled to pull the bowstring, pointing the giant arrows straight into the sky.
As Lu Shi's order flag was waved, the captain of the longbow team struggled to wave the red flag in his hand, and the drummer next to him beat the waist drum on his waist fiercely, "Knock-"
"Whew-" A whirlwind roared, and the first great arrows swooped into the blue sky with a death howl, eclipsing even the howling north wind of nature.
"Knock-" The second drum sounded, followed by another row of giant arrows whistling into the air.
"Knock-" The third drum sounded.
Three rows of giant arrows rushed forward to catch up one after another.
The sky seemed to be suddenly obscured by dark clouds, but the sun's brilliance seemed brighter, and the reason for the brighter was that the huge arrow with the buzzer reflected the endless vision and dazzled people's eyes, and the sound of the buzzer ghost crying wolf howled shocked all people's hearts.
