The entire ranks of thieves were in disarray

First of all, the thieves' military horses are all in chaos, where can those military horses withstand such a violent explosion? Even the bravest horses would be terrified in the face of such an explosion, not to mention that most of the thieves' horses were just ordinary military horses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially the cavalry, who was dozens of meters away from the exploding mushroom cloud, was even more stunned by the heat wave of the explosion. Where do those military horses dare to gallop forward? He didn't dare to crash headlong into the center of the explosion that smelled of gunpowder. The horses subconsciously fled towards no one, not listening to the command at all.

The 120,000 cavalry did not know how many were killed by the bombing, and those who were still alive were reduced to a pot of porridge, showing irregular Brownian motion on a battlefield several miles long and wide.

Not to mention that it can continue to attack the Tiger Army, the current Chuang Army can't even maintain the most basic formation.

If the rocket artillery bombardment was a technology that only appeared in the nineteenth or even twentieth century, then the cavalry of the invading army was bombarded by the technology of several hundred years later with an army at the level of the seventeenth century. It is already unbearable to have a generational lead in weapons on the battlefield, let alone such a gap of hundreds of years?

He Donggui, who was beside Li Laosi, was shocked by the effect of the rocket bombardment, and his face turned red and white, white and red. He suddenly grabbed Li Laosi's shoulders excitedly, widened his eyes and said loudly: "Division Commander, this rocket is too powerful!" ”

Li Laosi nodded, his eyes also shining.

Li Laosi really couldn't imagine that the effect of the rocket car was so good. Only one round of bombing has already achieved such an effect, and those sixteen rounds of rockets are all blasted out, what will the intruder be blown up into?

Li Laosi felt that this battle was going to be won, and it was a big victory.

Li Laosi was still excited, the rocket car was full of fire, and the second wave of rockets shot out again.

The rocket was fired at a target two miles away, with a radius of error of 70 to 80 meters. Within this error radius, the rockets are randomly distributed. Coupled with the random aiming of the rocket crews, the landing points of the rockets were very scattered. The rocketeers aimed at the middle of the thieves and bombarded, but they couldn't actually aim accurately, and could only roughly hit the vicinity of the target.

But the problem is that in order to break the musket formation of the Tiger Army, the cavalry of the invading army set up a dense charging formation of 120,000 people. Therefore, without exception, the rockets exploded in the most dense places of thieves.

The deaths caused by these rockets are staggering.

Under Hao Shaoqi's desperate gaze, the second wave of rockets set off a storm of steel and gunpowder. Huge sparks exploded in the midst of the fleeing cavalry, scattering pieces of iron representing death in all directions. The red flames turned into balls, then rose upwards into black-red mushroom clouds.

By the time the mushroom cloud formed by the second wave of rockets dissipated, the ranks of the thieves were already full of corpses. The ground was strewn with broken limbs that flew out of nowhere, and charred corpses were everywhere.

The scene below the mushroom cloud was like hell.

There were flames everywhere, and the cotton clothes on the corpses of the soldiers, ignited by the sparks of the explosion, burned violently. The soldier whose hand had been blown off wept as he tumbled over the corpses on the ground, searching for his severed arm among the severed limbs of his robes and horses. The wounded soldier with his leg broken by the explosion groaned and convulsed on the ground, but he couldn't control the blood gushing from the severed limb.

The carcasses of men and horses cut to death by pieces of iron were huge, and blood was spurting out. It only took a few seconds for pools of blood to form on the ground. The corpses that were killed by the shock wave had their skin peeled open and their heads were covered with charred blood-red wounds, and it was impossible to tell which wound had taken their lives.

By the time the rumble of the explosion fell, the battlefield was dominated by the horns and screams of the wounded. Those terrible shouts were so loud that they could understand what kind of catastrophe had just befallen this army and horses.

From the air, a thousand rockets looked like a thousand holes with a diameter of twenty meters in the array of thieves several miles long and wide. The thieves in these 1,000 holes were either blown to pieces or cut to death by pieces of iron.

And the cavalry next to the thousand holes fled one by one, completely out of rank.

Hao Shaoqi couldn't control his war horse at all. The horse under the crotch could no longer calm down in the face of the firepower far exceeding this era, and a person stood up and threw Hao Shaoqi off the horse. The war horse also knew that the rocket was flying from the east, and after dropping the Hao Shaoqi, he fled to the south.

Hao Shaoqi fell to the ground, as if he had been broken, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Hao Shaoqi was lying on the ground, feeling powerless. After fighting with the officials and soldiers for more than ten years, Hao Shaoqi felt so powerless for the first time. Where is this war? It's a completely one-sided bombardment. The people of Tianjin slaughtered the invading army like this with weapons that Hao Shaoqi had never seen at all, and what was the use of the invading army with 120,000 cavalry?

In the face of such a completely overwhelming weapon, the superiority in numbers is meaningless.

When Hao Shaoqi's body slowed down and he was finally able to get up, as soon as he looked up, he saw Liu Fangliang roaring loudly on the battlefield.

Liu Fangliang didn't know what medicine he had taken, and he still had fighting spirit under the repeated bombardment, so he scolded the drummer next to him with a horsewhip, so that the panicked drummer blew the horn of the Chinese army.

The sound of a long horn sounded to encourage the cavalry who had been blown to pieces.

Liu Fangliang shouted loudly: "The rockets of the Tianjin people have been blown up, and it is impossible for them to have such an expensive rocket." I'm all ready to stand up and get ready to line up! ”

Hao Shaoqi was stunned and looked to the east.

Although the two rounds of rockets killed many people, the casualties were still acceptable for the intruding army. For 120,000 people, killing more than 10,000 people would not lead to an absolute collapse. The numerical advantage of 100,000 against 10,000 is too obvious. If Liu Fangliang can get the bombed cavalry back together, then there is still something to be done.

If the Tianjin people really could only blow up two rounds, then the hundreds of thousands of cavalry who broke into the army might still be able to win this battle.

Hao Shaoqi ran towards a panicked cavalryman on the left, and dragged the cavalryman off his horse. Then he stepped on the cavalry's horse and shouted loudly to the left and right: "There is no advance or retreat in this battle, don't panic!" ”

In the sound of horns, the intruding army, which had been bombed twice, gradually regained some order, gathered again, and prepared to rush towards the tiger army.

On the command car of the Tiger Ben Army, Li Laosi looked at the intrusive army in the distance and shook his head.

Li Laosi understood the power of the rocket car at this time, and he had no doubt about winning this war. The rocketeers did not continue the third round of bombardment just now, thinking that the intrusive army had been blown up and did not want to waste ammunition.

The cost of a heavy rocket often costs tens of taels of silver, and a round of 1,000 pieces is tens of thousands of taels of silver. If it is not necessary, it is better not to fire these rockets indiscriminately.

Of course, compared with the income of winning the whole of Henan, the cost of tens of thousands of taels of silver, or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, is still acceptable. Since the thief hadn't collapsed yet, Li Laosi waved his hand and shouted, "Shoot again!" ”

The loud conch horn blew out two short and two long launch commands. The sightman next to the rocket car turns the rocker arm to adjust the angle of the gun car, and the igniter behind it lights the fuse of the rocket.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Another thousand rockets burst out of the gun carriage, screaming and spinning, and firing at the thieves who had managed to gather.
