Chapter Twenty-Five: The Collapsed Great Shun Army (Plus Change)

The surging flood-like Dashun army swarmed, shouting and rushing towards the position of the Jiang family's army, and the earth seemed to tremble.

The birds in the mountains and forests in the distance were also frightened by the huge sound, and flopped and screamed from the forest and fled quickly into the distance.

There were even frightened beasts that escaped from the forest, rushed in the direction of the battlefield in a panic, and found that they had run in the wrong direction and hurriedly braked, turning around and fleeing in other directions.

It's just that the Jiang family's army array on the opposite side is still unmoving, as if completely ignoring the surging crowd in front of them.

Seeing that the enemy did not move, these soldiers of the Dashun Army became even more crazy, shouted even louder, accelerated their speed and continued to rush forward.

In the eyes of these soldiers, the enemy on the opposite side was already frightened by their momentum, and did not dare to move.

Only Gao Yigong, who was watching the battle from a distance, faintly felt that something was wrong, this is not the reaction that a frightened army should have, shouldn't it be to turn around and run?

He didn't think that an army on the other side could be stupid by his army, like those brainless soldiers.

Jiang Jiajun's immobility made him suddenly nervous about the outcome of this battle.

He had been observing the battlefield with a clairnvoy, and suddenly a scene in the lens made his heart lift:

The infantry phalanx of the Jiang family's army, which was originally lined up in the middle, suddenly separated from the middle and quickly moved towards both sides.

And as they parted, the huge opening that was exposed revealed was the muzzle of a black hole. Although it is not clear how many cannons there are, there are always dozens.

Behind the cannons were three soldiers, one of whom was approaching the end of the cannon with a torch.

Not good! The other party actually had so many cannons, and it was obvious that he had set a trap for his own side, Gao Yigong's heart suddenly became alarmed.

But at this time, he had no way to restrain his subordinates, and his men and horses had already rushed to a position less than a mile away from the enemy's main array.

Although Gao Yigong suddenly became nervous in his heart, he thought that there were also many cannons in the Ming army that fought with them in the past, but basically they didn't play any role.

Thinking about it like this, he slowly put his mind at ease. According to his estimates, the enemy's artillery would become mute after two or three rounds at most, and by then his own side would have broken through their array with some of them desperately killed and wounded.

At this moment, a huge roar erupted in the Jiang Jiajun array on the opposite side, and a continuous loud bang sounded, like a string of muffled thunder rolling through the sky.

With this series of loud noises, dozens of black dots rose into the air, crossed beautiful parabolas in the sky, and then fell on the heads of the Dashun army who were running wildly.

These are dozens of flowering bombs, as soon as they fall into the crowd, there is an explosion, all kinds of sharp filling, as well as dense crowds, these flowering bombs have achieved extremely terrifying results, almost instantly, five or six hundred soldiers of the Dashun army fell screaming.

Confusion began to erupt among the crowd running forward.

But after all, it was a 100,000-strong run, and this chaos couldn't stop the huge inertia of the crowd running wildly.

Even if the people in front wanted to stop, the people behind continued to rush forward, and rushed forward against the people in front, so the crowd of the Dashun army was barely affected and continued to rush forward.

And because of the chain reaction triggered by the screams of the dead and wounded soldiers just now, the shouts of the other people who were not shot became even more crazy.

Before the smoke of the first round of shells had cleared, the second round of shells rose into the air.

This round of shells fell into the crowd, again causing nearly 1,000 casualties.

The speed of the Dashun army's wild run slowed down a little, but it still did not stop.

In the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, the fifty cannons of the Jiang Jiajun fired six rounds of flowering shells at the crowd of the Dashun army at the fastest speed.

If it was an ordinary Ming artillery, if it dared to fire six rounds without scruples, the cannon would have exploded or jammed.

However, because Jiang Jiajun's artillery is produced by the fortress base, it is a natural high-quality product, and there will be no quality problems at all.

As long as they are not damaged by external forces, these guns can theoretically be fired more than a thousand times in a row without exploding.

Of course, this is a theory, and as for the real data, it is still unknown, because the Jiang army has not yet had a battle that required a thousand rounds of continuous artillery bombardment.

However, one thing is certain, and that is that none of the guns produced at the base have been blown up or otherwise malfunctioned, and the same is true for muskets.

These six rounds of flowering bullets fell into the ranks of the Dashun army in an endless stream, causing a full five or six thousand casualties.

At this time, the Dashun army was close to the Jiang family's army.

Although 5,000 or 6,000 people were not much compared to 100,000 people, so many casualties had seriously shaken the morale of the Dashun army, and their morale showed a cliff-like decline, and many people began to try to turn around and run back.

However, there was a team of supervisors sent by Gao Yigong behind who was forcing the team to continue advancing with knives and guns, because Gao Yigong did not want to give up the opportunity to break into the Jiang family's army.

Although they couldn't turn around and run back, under the education of the Jiang family's six rounds of artillery fire, these blind and fanatical soldiers of the Dashun Army finally came to their senses and finally understood that the enemy on the opposite side was simply a pack of wolves, not a bunch of rabbits.

It's a pity that they realized too late, and they continued to be dragged forward by the crowd, but the speed was much slower, and there was a lot of confusion in it, and there was a constant stream of people trying to stop or trying to turn around and run were trampled under the feet of the crowd and turned into a mess.

And it's clear that the chaos is spreading fast.

At this time, the Dashun army finally entered the shooting range of the Jiang family's crossbow.

The originally separated infantry formation quickly and methodically regrouped, and the steel forest of spears and spears rebuilt a strong defensive line.

The artillery was still roaring, but because of the projectile, it had already begun to shoot extended, and the shells fell on the rear of the Dashun army.

Seeing that the shells no longer fell on their heads, the soldiers of the Dashun Army who rushed to the front finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But apparently they were rejoicing too soon.

A dense rain of arrows rose from behind the steel defense line of the Jiang family army at this time, and then penetrated into the ranks of the Dashun army, bringing a new wave of death.

After three waves of arrow rain in a row, the crossbowmen of the Jiang family army fired strong crossbows at the soldiers of the Dashun army from the gap in the shield wall, and countless short and sharp crossbow arrows roared into the body of the Dashun army, making them fall down a large piece as if they were cutting wheat.

At the same time, after encountering the blows of artillery, bows and arrows, and crossbows, the 100,000 Dashun army finally collapsed completely.

They could no longer care about the butcher's knives of the Warlords in the rear, and one by one they dropped their weapons and began to run wildly, running back faster than they had come.

Watching this scene on the cloud car, Shanjia pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "This is cowardly?" Haven't tasted our iron lumps yet? ”

The adjutant general on the side, Bige, heard it funny and said, "General, it's time for the cavalry to attack, right?" ”

"yes, it's time to let the cavalry move, or they won't even be able to drink the soup." Shanjia nodded and laughed.

With the sound of rapid and high-pitched war drums, the 10,000 cavalry on both wings of the Jiang family's army, who had already been eager to try, rushed towards the collapsed Dashun army like two black death scythes.
