Chapter 398: A Bloody Case Caused by Duck Eggs
** the size of a duck egg, in fact, one person can throw out twenty meters, now with this ejection method, the distance of throwing ~ fifty meters is not a problem.
However, the attack needs to be gradual, so the first wave of attacks fell about twenty meters away, where the archers of the tiger and leopard rode were located.
Due to the suddenness of the incident. None of the archers of the tiger and leopard rode could react, and the "duck eggs" all smashed smoothly into the crowd. Although the "duck egg" is made of iron, after 20 meters of flight, it has no power, so the person who was hit did not suffer much damage, but the subsequent explosion was different.
When the lead of the "duck egg" burned out, a rumbling sound sounded, and the incessant explosions reverberated in the crowd. Suddenly, shrapnel flew in the crowd, black smoke filled the air, and people screamed repeatedly.
The bombardiers of the Shu army did not stop for a moment, and immediately continued to project the second and third after throwing one...... Each of them brought a basket of "duck eggs", and there were dozens of them. After they blew up the archers on the first line of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they began to carry out extended bombardment at the sound of the officer's order.
Soon, they extended the bombardment range to 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters. The frontline position of the tiger and leopard cavalry suddenly became a hell on earth, the wailing of human beings, the neighing of horses were endless, and the whole position was in chaos.
Don't look at these "duck eggs" The lethality is not large, but the victory lies in the number of enough, as the so-called ants bite more elephants, these bombardiers of the first division can launch ~ a "duck egg" in just a few seconds.
Hundreds of grenadiers. In less than 10 minutes, ~ thousands of miniature ** were launched, and a covering bombardment was carried out on the frontline positions of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The smoke screen of the explosion enveloped the entire frontline position, and almost every tiger and leopard rider in this area was embedded with several, if not dozens, pieces of shrapnel embedded in them.
Only a few unlucky eggs had close contact with "duck eggs", were killed on the spot, and went to the underworld to sell salted duck eggs. Most people's injuries are not fatal. However, with so much shrapnel embedded in the body, the pain is not pleasant.
Many people lost their combat effectiveness in an instant, some even rolled around on the ground in pain, and the worst was the person who was pierced in the eye, the pain was indescribable, even if they were injured in the future, they would become blind, the most pitiful.
Of course, Zhang Bao did not expect to kill and injure many enemies with these "duck eggs", which were not much bigger than firecrackers, because their power was too small, and they were only used to create chaos and temporarily lose the combat effectiveness of the opposing troops. As long as it is won for a short time, it will be enough for the Shu army to show its backhand.
Now it's the protagonist's turn to appear, and the so-called backhand must of course be played by the protagonist. After the grenadiers threw all the "duck eggs" in the basket~ out, the shieldmen and the grenadiers quickly lined up and separated and withdrew on both sides.
The Xianbei cavalry, which was waiting for the battle, was officially dispatched. First, a small detachment rushed out, and before and after arriving at the tiger and leopard riding camp, each of them took out a rope with an iron hook. They were seen swinging their ropes in circles overhead, like those cowboy horses in the American West, and when the ropes accelerated to a certain extent, they threw them out.
At the end of these ropes are a three-toothed iron hook that, under the throw of these "western cowboys", accurately hooks the antlers of the tiger and leopard in front of the camp. The "cowboys of the West" then quickly turned their horses' heads and rode their horses to drag the antlers away from the horses.
This method of cleanup was very efficient, and soon they were able to clear the antlers that stood in the way of the army. Then came some infantry with planks, and they quickly ran to the trenches and pits, and spread thick planks on them.
In just a few minutes, these people cleared the traps and obstacles that the tiger and leopard riders had worked so hard to arrange, and opened up the passage to the tiger and leopard riding camp.
At this time, the tiger and leopard riders were still in chaos, and it stands to reason that even if the elite tiger and leopard riders were hit hard, they could not be in chaos for so long. However, because Dong was standing too close before the visit, he was also affected by the explosive power of the "duck egg".
Although he was not killed on the spot, he was also blown up, and he was a whole person
Dizzy, unable to give instructions at all. In fact, not only him, but also other people, in this environment with loud noises, shock waves, and damage to the body, many people are stunned and unable to react.
The well-trained tiger and leopard riders were all stunned, not to mention that Dong Wan was a scholar who spoke out, and his own resistance to this shocking scene was relatively weak, so he was even more completely stunned. "Mount Tai collapses in front of you and the color remains the same" is just what the book says after all, how many people can really do it?
Other people are confused, it is not a big problem, it only affects themselves, but as the head coach, he is a big problem. Due to the lack of instructions from the manager, the tiger and leopard riders were unable to quickly adjust and get out of the chaos.
And because Dong Wan was within the explosion range, many people couldn't even determine his life and death, and in this case, the chaos of the tiger and leopard ride was even worse. The chaos of the tiger and leopard cavalry was of course a good thing for the Shu army, and when all the obstacles and traps were cleared, the charge of the Xianbei cavalry began.
Finally, it was time for them to show their best performance, their charge trumpet was a kind of horn sound, "woo woo woo ......" only to hear a low and long horn sound, the first thousand people of the Xianbei cavalry trotted out, lined up a sharp arrow formation in front of the formation, and then under the leadership of their thousand household chiefs, gradually increased the speed of their horses, and galloped towards the camp of the tiger and leopard riding.
The Xianbei cavalry were very experienced with this kind of charge, and they controlled the speed of their horses just right, and the moment they rushed into the enemy camp, the speed of their horses was just increased to the maximum. This allows you to crash into the enemy's formation with maximum impact without causing fatigue by leaving the horse running for too long.
The first thousand-man team was like an arrow, and it was very smoothly carved into the camp of the tiger and leopard cavalry. The wounded soldiers in the front-line positions who were still wailing and rolling were suddenly killed and trampled to death~ pieces.
The Xianbei cavalry had already drawn their sabers~ out, but they only raised them high and did not cut them down. These wounded soldiers meant nothing to them, and they were targeting the unwounded tiger and leopard riders behind the front line.
In just a few breaths, this thousand-strong team cut through the front line of the tiger and leopard cavalry and penetrated deep into the tiger and leopard cavalry camp. The people here are the uninjured tigers and leopards, and although they have a bit of a riot, they are not completely defenseless.
The sabers of the Xianbei cavalry were finally cut down, and they fought with those tiger and leopard cavalry. Although those tiger and leopard cavalry had already mounted on their horses early in the morning and were ready for battle, they did not raise the speed of their horses, and compared with the Xianbei cavalry who had already raised their horse speed to the extreme, they undoubtedly suffered a big loss.
