After the artillerymen received Li Yan's order, they hurriedly changed the sub-artillery. If you fire a cannon at 300 steps, you can only use iron bullets, and the farthest killing distance of grape shells is only more than 200 steps.

The cannon commander carefully estimated the distance of the thieves, and the white smoke formed by the previous shots had not completely dispersed until now. After the thieves' troops were almost 300 paces away, they decisively ordered the cannon to be fired.

"Boom" and "boom" two cannon shots rang out one after another.

The two iron projectiles flew towards the bandits, and the gunners did not adjust the bolt on the gun carriage against the tail of the gun to adjust the height of the gun, and it was still in a state of flat fire. The projectile flew into the front row of the displaced people, and due to the effect of gravity, the projectile was about to hit the ground when it reached the ranks of the displaced people, so the displaced people in the front row were all injured and broken in their legs and feet.

The sound of "click" and "click" sounded among the displaced people, followed by earth-shattering screams. The displaced people who were hit lay on the ground, looking at their broken legs and feet in disbelief, and screaming in horror.

The projectile bounced on the ground, and as it hit the bones of the homeless, it changed direction slightly, and continued to jump through the crowd, killing or injuring the homeless or rogues in its track.

The screams rang out from the outside in, but the rest of the people didn't know what was going on. The people around the wounded slowed down in horror, and the people in the distance, who had no effect, continued to shout slogans and rushed towards the enemy array.

"Boom", "boom" two more cannon shots, and two more projectiles flew out and crashed into the thieves. The artillerymen took advantage of the gap between the refitting sub-guns to adjust the muzzle of the gun slightly to the left and right, and only continued to fire after fixing it, anyway, it is now very easy to adjust the position.

This time, the projectile cut two other lines in the crowd of thieves, killing and injuring the thieves on the trajectory of the projectile.

Suddenly, a dragon's horse neighed, and immediately fell to the ground, throwing the unprepared dragon and crushing it under him.

One dragon only saw one of his soldiers on his right front suddenly fall, and then his horse also fell.

It turned out that a projectile bounced to them, and before a dragon could react, it smashed off the right front leg of his warhorse. The projectile then stopped after smashing another horse, and lay quietly in the dirt, just an inconspicuous two-inch iron bullet.

"Quick! Save the big boss! When the dragon's own soldiers saw that their big leader was crushed by the horse, they immediately surrounded them to save the people.

"Quick! Retreat! Retreat! Yuan Laoshan looked at the dragon that was suddenly injured in horror, and then immediately ordered loudly.

"Yes!" One of Yuan Laoshan's personal soldiers immediately took out the bullhorn and prepared to signal the retreat to the team in front.

Yuan Laoshan hurriedly stopped it and shouted: "What I'm talking about is that you are protecting me and retreating!" Not a retreat of the whole army! Retreat a little further with me! Let's talk about it from a safe distance! ”

At this time, his personal soldiers knew the intention of the big boss, so they hugged Yuan Laoshan and nervously retreated. The shell bounced left and bounced on the ground, and they couldn't figure out which direction it was coming from, so they were all very nervous.

After a while, a dragon was also rescued, and a group of soldiers carried him to Yuan Laoshan's side.

"Yuan Da is in charge," said a dragon with a pale face, "Let's withdraw, we can't take this risk." ”

Yuan Laoshan was calm and refused: "No, we must defeat this official army today, otherwise, the confidence of Zhao'an in the future will not be enough." He pointed to the troops in front of him again and said, "Look, in fact, the lethality of this kind of artillery is not too great, you see, how many casualties have been killed and wounded in the front?" ”

One dragon was actually crushed in the leg, and the rest was fine. So he asked his men to raise him high so that he could see the whole battlefield more clearly.

He saw that Yuan Laoshan's team was still moving forward, but some people had slowed down, but there were not many of them. Still, he was afraid, if the projectile jumped higher, wouldn't he be dead? So he made up his mind, if Yuan Laoshan was defeated, he would take advantage of it. If Yuan Laoshan is defeated, then don't blame him for not being righteous, he will run away immediately.

The thieves continued to charge, and although the opposing artillery had inflicted some casualties on them, they were definitely a minority compared to their numbers. They rushed forward quickly, and continued to rush forward in the face of enemy shelling.

Li Yan looked at the thieves who continued to rush for their lives, and ordered: "Give the artillery an order to let them use grapeshot as soon as the thieves enter two hundred steps." "He now has to use the maximum killing distance as the bottom line, if he fights late, I'm afraid he will be rushed up by thieves in hand-to-hand combat. After all, he has a lot fewer people, but he can't consume these thieves.

The displaced people who were coerced in front were forced by the thieves behind to continue to rush forward with the cannonballs, and the displaced people slowed down in fear, but they still kept moving forward.

When they reached a distance of two hundred paces, after hearing the sound of cannons, they were no longer two or three people at a certain point being knocked down, but fell to the ground screaming in patches. After two cannon shots, almost all of the displaced people at the front will fall in pools of blood. The wounds of the displaced people who were hit were almost always a large hole, and even if they hit their arms, legs and feet, they would continue to bleed until they died.

After advancing sixty or seventy paces, the homeless people could no longer bear the casualties, and no one was willing to move forward, even if they were forced by the thieves behind them. Some of the homeless people ran backwards, while others lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. In such a chaotic situation, the casualties of the displaced people are even greater.

The thieves heard the war drums behind them urging them to attack, so they simply cut down the few wanderers in front of them, and they continued to rush forward with their shields raised.

But the shields in their hands were useless, and the shields of the thieves in the front row were almost shattered in the sound of cannons. Small buckshot hit them, smashing open the armor on their bodies, and the deformed buckshot cut a palm-sized bloody hole in their bodies, and they would soon die wailing.

Under the blow of artillery fire, these thieves collapsed faster than those outcasts. They all survived the bloody battle, and if they were really not afraid of death, they would all die a long time ago. Therefore, these thieves also turned around and fled after carrying three or four rounds of artillery fire, and they didn't care about the drums of war as their big boss continued to urge the attack.

"These bastards! Coward! Yuan Laoshan watched his subordinates retreat and scolded angrily.

And the dragon, whose face is still pale, keeps rolling his eyes.
