Chapter Ninety-Four: Trapped Beast II

The atmosphere on the battlefield was somewhat dreary.

There was no noise for a while, only the friction sound of pushing the heavy shield cart, and the sound of many people gasping loudly.

It's just that the parties don't feel that the breathing is loud.

Behind the shield cart, a group of officers and sergeants bowed down, as if trying to hide behind the shield cart. Footsteps on the dirt make an unpleasant sound of footsteps.

The wind blew gently, and the sounds could not be heard in the distance.

Everyone seemed to be frozen, and they were slowly surging.

A sudden cannon shot rang out, and it seemed to press the start button for the entire battlefield. Artillery fire from both sides spoke one after another.

However, the artillery fire on both sides was not dense enough. There are also many small cannons, especially the artillery fire of Cao Ying, and the weakening of the officers and soldiers, which seems to have a feeling of being suppressed. In particular, several Franc cannons were hidden behind the shield carts, and one shell after another was fired hundreds of paces away.

For a moment, all the soldiers hid behind the breastwork.

This breastwork can't actually stop it, this solid iron bump. After all, it was just an offensive of some empty earth piled up, and this shell hit it and immediately fell apart. There is simply no possibility of being in the situation.

Just doing this, but it can make all the soldiers feel at ease, plus the other party's cannons, there are only a few, and the accuracy is also average, many of them can't hit the queue at all, but before the breastwork, there is no kinetic energy.

Zhang Xuan could see clearly, in the midst of the sound of cannons, occasionally a few shells hit the queue, and several people could immediately be crushed into meat sauce.

If it hits the low wall, a large area of the low wall will suddenly fall down, and the soldiers behind the low wall will have no chance of survival.

This kind of cruelty is visible. It's just an appetizer before the war. What follows is the cruelty that a thousand eyes and ears can't see or hear, and how human beings can kill themselves more efficiently.

Just when the shield car was dozens of paces away from the breastwork, it did not dare to continue to push.

Because even a small cannon like the Linying Cannon, which only produces a fist-sized cannonball, is enough to suppress the shield car.

These cannonballs were like shot puts, although only some of them hit the shield cart, and even if they hit the shield cart, because of the strength of the wood and even the angle, only a few shells had the ability to pierce the shield cart and hit the soldiers behind.

However, the odds are slim.

But because a large number of soldiers were hiding behind the shield cart, every cannonball that broke the shield cart. can make a bloody alley.

And even if the shield cart ejects the shell, it is not without lethality. First of all, the huge kinetic energy of the cannonball shattered the shield car parts.

Many of the lower parts of these shield carts are horse-drawn carriages and grain trucks, which are not used in ordinary times, but they bear such a large amount on the battlefield

The impact may not be able to break through the specially reinforced giant shield, but the force can break the axle below.

Immediately let the shield cart stop in place, unable to take a single step.

There were also some shells that bounced off the shield cart and rolled on the ground incessantly.

It looks like a ball rolling on the ground, but if anyone's foot blocks it, don't want half a calf.

Since he couldn't move forward anymore, a heavy drum vibrated the drum surface, like a horn, for a while, Zhang Xuan only felt that his eardrums couldn't stop agitating, and he didn't know how many big drums were beating together, which only made people's blood flutter. The sound of the heartbeat seems to be in tune with the sound of the drums.

Even though Zhang Xuan was just watching the battle from a distance with a clairvoyant mirror, he still felt his blood surge, and he could hardly control himself.

"Kill." The only thing that can suppress the sound of the drum is this hoarse, life-threatening cry.

Countless shouts rushed from behind the shield cart.

Rushing with them was a sharp roar, and countless rockets carried this white smoke, almost overwhelmingly across the sky, and smashed into the fireman.

"Bang." Cao Ying's first salvo then spoke.

Countless gunpowder smoke burst out, and the stage effect seemed to be activated in an instant, countless dry ice melted, and in everyone's sight, there was more white mist, and the people on the opposite side were all looming, and now it is autumn, although the northwest wind is not strong. But there has been a period without a while.

Depending on the strength of the wind, the time for the smoke to dissipate is also different.

At the beginning, the gunpowder smoke was the thickest, especially the countless swarms of bees, hundreds of tigers rushed arrows, and the white smoke on their tails almost obscured everyone's sight.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Because as soon as the two sides officially came into contact, not only gunsmoke, but also blood burst out.

Let's start with the firecrackers.

Recruits are recruits after all.

They suddenly withstood such heavy casualties, and for a time they were in chaos.

These rocket firearms are the most commonly used firearms in the Ming army, for two reasons, the first is the low production threshold. Almost any small county can find people who can make rockets, and if they are allowed to build them, millions, tens of millions are never a problem.

The second is cheapness.

The arrow can be made of wood, with a bamboo tube on the back and an iron head on it. Add a little gunpowder, and I don't know if there is a penny or not for a hundred sticks. And even if there is a quality problem, it is not a big deal, at least it does not hurt your own people.

Although the officers and soldiers came prepared, they couldn't shoot as many rockets as they could at first.

It is estimated that the officers and soldiers themselves do not know that there are salvo fire tigers running together, swarming bees, etc., and there are single shots, the simplest, even like modern cupola cannons. But

, but it doesn't explode, and it's mainly gunpowder used as propulsion.

Of course, it's not just rockets.

There are other messy things that I won't go into here. In short, Zuo Liangyu smashed his blood in the first wave of attacks. Countless soldiers on the Gunner's side fell to the ground, especially the first few people, although only one head was exposed behind the low wall.

It was also shot into a hornet's nest.

Of course, there are also those in the first row.

After all, the accuracy of these rockets is less reliable than that of firecrackers, after all, although the shooting of firecrackers is not accurate, the general range is still there, but the rockets, as soon as they are shot, they may hit somewhere.

Even the officers and soldiers themselves have a part of them being taken care of by the officers and soldiers themselves.

"Wait." With a sound, He Hutou didn't say anything, but took hundreds of personal soldiers, drew his sword and stood behind, He Hutou didn't need to give more orders at all, and immediately several officers and soldiers broke into the queue and killed several people in a row.

To shake the military law.

He Hutou didn't seem to dare to slack off. The eyes are almost constricted, but between the pupils, they are especially bright.

In the world, nothing has ever been taken for granted.

It seems natural that someone violates and kills him at this moment, but for every soldier who is killed, he does not necessarily think so. And now that the officials and troops are pressing the border, if there are any more riots, won't they be defeated without attacking?

Therefore, military law must be strict, but there must be room for the implementation of military law in wartime.

There were many people in a panic, and He Hutou killed two or three thorns before he calmed the scene.

Of course, this is also the influence of He Hutou deeply influenced by Zhang Xuan, although when he trained, he was more strict, but in terms of treatment, almost all of them were enough. There is not a trace of restraint and neglect. With the usual kindness, it is so easy to stabilize the position.

As soon as the firecrackers stabilized, the officers and soldiers were miserable.

The smoke of gunpowder burst out in all directions, almost filling the entire battlefield, and everyone could only hear the screams in the smoke, and faintly, they saw countless shadows rushing over and falling to the ground, rushing over and falling to the ground. Most of them are in the trenches.

However, the riot just now has affected the performance of the firecrackers.

The distance of dozens of steps is too close, even if there is a trench in front and a low wall in the back, it is too close. At such a distance, someone can rush over with a dozen breaths, even if they are wearing armor.

When He Hutou saw this, he understood that hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. Fortunately, He Hutou did not hold it up this time, and he had already prepared for this scene. He had already communicated with Zhang Xuan in advance, and he had already prepared the means.

"Everyone takes three steps back." He Hutou said.

The firecrackers retreated in order, and then a large number of soldiers rushed in from the left passage.
