Chapter 574: Gunpowder is raging

The sudden collapse, the loud noise, of course, it was impossible to hide Sun Yue from the building, but, at the beginning, I didn't know what happened there.

The smashed wall, kept howling, and there was no natives even hidden, he knew that it was almost, he was a little funny, such a cement wall, if it was hit, it would collapse, where so many people gathered, it was obviously smashed, and the loss was not small.

Before getting in close contact, with pure defensive strength, a certain result was achieved, which is a good thing, and it can be regarded as a very morale-boosting thing.

After laughing at the natives, Sun Yue's expression became solemn, and he also knew that after this wall collapsed, the biggest test would come.

The natives made it clear that they would attack, otherwise they would not have smashed the wall with a giant log, and now, the time has finally come, and it depends on how long it will take for the natives to adjust.

In fact, the speed of the natives' adjustment, faster than he thought, suddenly collapsed, so that the natives stopped and continued to smash the wall, and they began to move outside the wall, ready to enter through the gap.

On the battlefield, there was no time to adjust, and those people didn't even care about the people who were pressed down by the wall, they rushed up directly with their weapons, and chose to break through the 40-meter-long gap that had been knocked open to the inside of the wall.

Sun Yue thought about a lot of possibilities, but he didn't expect that it would be like this, the gap of 40 meters is not small, for the natives, there is no way to give full play to their personnel advantages, unless they can open three or four more of the same gap, separate attacks, it is possible not to be set on fire, but now, as long as they dare to attack, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

After being attacked, Sun Yue was preparing, mobilizing a large number of gunpowder arrows and placing them on the roof of the building, and all the longbowmen were also ready to prevent the natives from entering the interior to attack.

The coverage of gunpowder arrows is large, coupled with the effect of concussion and explosion, it is not easy to control at close range, once a large number of concentrated explosions, it may cause some damage to the attacker, but more often it acts on the building.

Buildings and other things can't be dodged from the attack, and the lethal effect of explosives on fixed buildings is relatively large, and if you are not careful, you will be damaged.

In Dinghai, blasting and mountain opening are also made with explosives, and even huge rocks can be blasted, and if the building is impacted, it will be over.

Don't look at Sun Yue is now as stable as Mount Tai, it is because of the solidity of the building, which gives him great confidence, once there is no such a steep place as the building, let him be outside, when he fights in the field, he encounters 14,000 natives, even if he has confidence in his subordinates, he does not dare to guarantee victory.

In the era of cold weapons, weapons are important, with good weapons, you can exert multiple strength, but under the premise of a huge difference in personnel, the physical strength of the soldiers is limited, once the physical strength is consumed too much, and even the hands can't be raised, how to attack and kill.

Gunpowder can kill and injure the enemy on a large scale, but it has an impact on defense, which is not summed up by Sun Yue, but clearly written in the military code of the Dinghai Navy, and the scope of use of gunpowder arrows is strictly regulated, and it is not allowed to be used near fortifications.

As early as the era of the fortress, Zhao Xin created a thermal weapon, a wooden cannon, and the cooperation with the fortress allowed the fortress to resist the attack of the Baozhou rebels with a small number of troops.

Wooden cannon is one of the simplest gunpowder weapons, easy to process, as long as there is wood and iron hoops, ordinary carpenters can make it, as long as it is not overdosed, it also has a certain service life, because it is not used closely, even if it is blown up, the threat is not great.

This kind of wooden cannon is a surface damage, similar to a shotgun, and when it comes to close range, it has great lethality.

In the middle of the building, there are a number of wooden cannons, with special iron sand and medicine packs, which are enough to guarantee a long period of use.

If, in the end, the outer defense line is completely lost, when the natives start to climb, this can be used to inflict huge damage, which is the best defensive weapon.

The natives are still only near the wall, they have not yet entered the vicinity of the building, and they have not even climbed, and the wooden cannon is ineffective, because the range of the wooden cannon, at most, is two or three meters, and it shoots down from the upper floor, of course, it has a certain amount of damage, but the accuracy and attack power are uncontrollable.

The fence is divided, the barbed wire fence separates, and at the time when the other side is not close to the building, the rocket is of course the best weapon.

The barbed wire fence not only stops the attack, but also guides, and the barbed wire arranged here seems to be unorganized, but in fact, it will divide the battlefield and play a gathering role.

Whether it is a longbow or a gunpowder arrow, the most important long-range weapon of the Dinghai Navy, their lethality is not very great for the sparse and scattered camp, and only when facing the dense camp, the lethality is great.

Under such circumstances, how to gather together is a topic that the military attaches great importance to.

Any kind of weapon has advantages and weaknesses, and mastering the weapon proficiently, and giving full play to its strengths and avoiding weaknesses can give full play to the maximum effect.

With Zhao Xin's foresight, the generals of the army no longer study the art of war, the art of war is important, but for the low-level officers, instead of studying the art of war, it is better to study the basic techniques of combat, the use of weapons, and the adjustment of other camps.

Barbed wire, such a cheap and easy-to-arrange weapon, has been an important defensive weapon since he came out, and under the guidance of Zhao Xin, the Dinghai Navy has studied him very deeply.

The arrangement of barbed wire, how to effectively gather personnel, has become the key, this has also become the most important place for the Dinghai Navy, in the middle of which Sun Yue also learned and used in this arrangement, seemingly empty internal space, in fact, is an invisible trap.

Not to mention the natives, even if some regular armies come, such as the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty and the leather room army of the Liao State, if they are not familiar with the situation and are brought here, they will suffer a big loss, as long as they follow the barbed wire, they will inadvertently gather the camp, the loose camp itself, become concentrated, which is conducive to longbows, or long-range weapons, to play a role.

The natives did not have the slightest such awareness, and it seemed that the continuous trauma stimulated these natives and made them crazy, and concentrated about 1,500 people to make an attack.

The crowd of black pressure entered the gap and rushed towards the building, Sun Yue sneered and gave a few simple orders.

At the beginning, there was no attack, and at this time the attack not only did not concentrate the camp, but the effect of the attack was relatively limited.

After all 1,500 people were within range of the wall, a wave of rocket attacks began.

Because of the fence and barbed wire, 1,500 people can only move in a small space, and the population density is very large, whether it is a longbow attack or a rocket attack, it will cause huge damage.

Especially the natives who charged ahead, they encountered the barbed wire, I don't know what it is, they rushed up without hesitation, the barbs on the barbed wire, so that the natives who did not have any armor defense, crying dad and mother, the most important thing is that the front ones, even can't even retreat, because the follow-up people, keep occupying, and even let one by one barbs, pierced into their flesh, screaming again and again.

The front is blocked, the rear keeps entering, the natives are in front of the barbed wire, gathered into a big lump, it is an exaggeration to say that people are crowded, but the relative distance between them is very small, and the front is even denser.

"Attack!" Sun Yue said these two words calmly and coldly, and with his order, the longbowmen at the top of the building began to shoot the arrows of death.

This time, the choice was a combination of gunpowder and longbow, a total of five rounds, 200 longbowmen, with the way of coverage, shot 1,000 gunpowder arrows, in a dense, only 1,000 square area dense coverage, the final effect is very amazing.

A gunpowder arrow, because of the charge, is probably similar to the charge of the wooden-handled grenade in later generations, because there is a steel mill in the Dinghai Navy, and it does not use simple cast iron fragments, but a large number of built-in fragments, sharp, irregular iron fragments, which are the most important lethal weapons, and the ultimate killing radius is about 7-10 meters, with a total coverage area of more than 80 square meters, in principle, it has a certain damage effect on people seven or eight meters away, and the maximum killing distance is about 10 meters.

Like the grenade, his ultimate killing radius is only theoretical, and what is really used on the battlefield is a dense killing area, which is generally a dense killing area, within 3 meters, that is, a coverage area of about ten square meters.

In a place of 1,000 square meters, 1,000 gunpowder arrows fell, not to mention the extreme killing radius, even if it is a dense killing area, it overlaps quite a lot, and if it is evenly distributed, it is almost 10 times the theoretical data.

Such gunpowder weapons, against unprotected light infantry such as natives, such a covering attack, or a short-term covering attack, the result is terrible, and hell has descended.

The rate of fire of gunpowder arrows cannot be as fast as a longbow, and it is much faster than an ordinary bow and arrow, and 5 rounds of salvo fire cannot be like an elite longbow, 15 arrows a minute, but it can also reach all the shots in a minute.

Archery, for longbowmen, is something engraved in the bones, open the bow and shoot arrows, countless gunpowder arrows, flying to the place where the enemy gathers.

In less than a minute, huddled together, even in the face of slaughter, there is no way to do anything, when the first gunpowder arrow falls and explodes, the end is already doomed, the speed is too fast, they don't say that they don't have the consciousness to retreat, even if they have, they can't retreat.

In the dense explosion, less than 100 of the 1,500 people who eventually entered the area escaped, and almost all of the rest remained.

The corpses are all over the field, so it is definitely not an exaggeration, and it is even said that Shura Hell can be called completely deserved.

With the damage of ordinary swords, guns, swords, halberds, or the long-range of bows and arrows, most of the corpses will remain intact, but gunpowder, especially gunpowder arrows, explode damage at close range, the corpses are not complete, and sometimes, an arm, a leg, flies everywhere.

In a huge area, hundreds of corpses are unrecognizable, which is enough to make people frightened, but the explosion of gunpowder, especially gunpowder arrows, directly kills only a few, most of them are attacked by the iron sand or broken iron inside, and lose their ability to move.

Irregular iron, driven by the power of gunpowder, for the tearing damage caused by the body, it is uncertain and irregular, and there is the ability to move, you can escape back, but the rest, lost the ability to move, can only lie here and wait for death, that kind of extreme pain, the iron man can't stand it, let alone the first experience of the native.

A large number of injured people kept screaming and trembling, but the wounds formed a stream of blood, gathering together into a river, which was the visual sense of the eighteen layers of hell, and this intuitive feeling made the natives stunned and shocked.

On such an isolated island as Ryukyu, although they fought endlessly, at best, it was just some weapon fighting, similar to the Warring States period of Japan, the battle of hundreds of people has lost a large-scale war, similar to this, more than 10,000 people came over, or the result of external oppression, ordinary time, 2,000 people are enough to overwhelm all the strength, with a tribe that can dispatch 2,000 people, absolutely called a strong tribe.

What to do, it's not close yet, and I haven't even seen a few of the opponent's people, but I have already lost a lot, and the total losses add up to close to 3000, which is not a big blow.

Although the number of natives is more than 14,000, the damage of 3,000 people is almost more than 20%, which is a huge blow to morale.

The leaders of the indigenous people are really in a dilemma at this time, and now, they are still stable, but once they encounter problems, for example, they are hit again, and there are some other problems, and the result of this may be to retreat.

The natives quickly made their choice, and after about half an hour, the natives suddenly withdrew, not only out of the range next to the wall, but also outward, almost out of the range of the Dinghai Navy.

Due to the rapid movement of the natives, almost fleeing for their lives, the location of the wall, from the building, there are still dozens of meters, as long as they run out of 100 meters away, they are already out of the range of the longbow, even if the longbowmen are engrossed, the first time to react, it is only two or three rounds of shooting, in front of the scattered camp, the damage that can be caused is limited, simply did not attack, watching the natives escape out of the range.

The natives carried out a strong attack, using all their forces, and finally ended like this. The natives suffered heavy losses and fled in panic, while Ding Haijun even only moved his muscles and bones, and the front and back were only five rounds of shooting.
