Chapter 543: Shenwei
The shells fell in the cavalry charge array, like a drop of water dripping into an oil pan, and the reaction was violent.
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
After a few sounds, one shell after another among the 50,000 cavalry exploded, and a huge sound shook the heavens and the earth.
People turned on their backs, and countless soldiers drank hatred.
It can be said that the power of the cannonball is dozens of times that of the trebuchet, and because the range of the cannonball is very long, it can generally reach seven or eight miles, so the power is even more impressive.
For cavalry, the lethality of the cannonball is one thing, and what's worse is that the powerful power and loud noise made those war horses panic, many war horses turned around and ran back, and some war horses seemed to be unable to find their way and scurried around in the array.
Anyone who has spared cattle and horses knows that once the horse is frightened, then it must be very crazy, and it is not human to control it, and when the 50,000 cavalry charge at the same time, once the horse is frightened, where does it care about the head of the horse and the direction, the instinctive fear from them, let them run around, desperately trying to escape from the battlefield.
Confusion!
It's chaos!
Don't say anything about charging, the army has long been stagnant and simply has no ability to charge.
There were countless soldiers who fell from the war horses, and most of them were directly shaken off by the war horses.
And the soldier who fell to the ground had only one fate, either his head broke and bled to death, or he was trampled to death by horses.
In any case, horses are very timid, even trained war horses cannot overcome their instinctive fears, and horses are also social animals, and in the face of loud noises, strong horses can only follow the weak, panicking.
As a result, the charge of the coalition forces immediately became a joke.
The 50,000 cavalry charged, except for a small part of the area, which successfully continued to advance because the area was not attacked by too much artillery fire, the rest seemed to be mired in a quagmire and could not extricate themselves.
In the rear, on the command chariot of the coalition forces, several commanders were almost stunned, and their hearts were cold.
After thousands of calculations, I never thought that the cavalry would be restrained.
Moreover, it is still so obvious restraint.
It can be said that those war horses that have not undergone special training are defenseless in the face of artillery fire.
Could it be that what Cangguo likes to do most is to constantly develop new weapons and restrain its superior troops?
It's over......
It's completely over......
"Poof—"
Suddenly, Gongsun Zhi's entire body leaned forward, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed directly on the crosswood.
"General Gongsun!"
With a loud shout, Tang Mu and Ruan Funing reacted at the same time.
The surrounding guards flocked to him, and several of them helped Gongsun Zhi up, checked his pulse, and helped him out of the chariot for treatment and awakening.
After a while, many generals had gathered on the side of Gongsun Zhi.
In particular, Tang Mu and Ruan Funing were even more anxious, since the establishment of the coalition army, they have psychologically guarded Gongsun Zhi, and the general strategy and advance and retreat orders are all obeyed by Gongsun Zhi.
If Gongsun Zhi died all of a sudden, they didn't even know how to carry out the war that they were connected to.
Now, 50,000 light cavalry are in front, suppressed by artillery fire, and Gongsun Zhi, who commands the battle, suddenly vomits blood and faints, which is really worse.
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
After all, there were still one after another in the front army, and sporadic soldiers killed in front of the Xuanwu army.
However, it didn't work.
The Xuanwu army in the front row burst out with a uniform shout, roared one by one, and directly erected the shield, and then the spear stretched out from the gap in the shield, and the crossbow chariot moved slightly, spraying countless arrows.
You can't touch the Xuanwu Army at all!
Soon, a small group of light cavalry, which luckily escaped the impact of artillery fire, attacked again.
This time, it did some damage to the Xuanwu Army.
However, it is also extremely limited.
In other words, it is only because the light cavalry has a certain impact and restraint on the infantry that there is a gap to drill.
"Whoa—"
This is the sound of armor swinging, the flag waving, the front army of the Xuanwu army, the sound of uniformity, the front army soldiers walked with neat steps, the front is a shield and a spear, step by step, walking forward.
That's right, just go!
As if they were in a rehearsal queue, these soldiers did not walk very much, and they walked slowly, even if they walked a few hundred meters, they were still very neat.
It was not a charge, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the coalition forces, it was far more terrifying than a charge.
This is because this approach is often used as a tactic when besieging a small group of enemy forces that have lost their ability to resist.
A safe, and sure-going way to play.
In other words, in the eyes of the Xuanwu Legion, are the soldiers of the coalition no longer a threat?
This made many senior generals of the coalition army angry, and it was clear that the loss of soldiers and horses on the coalition side was only less than 200,000!
The middle army and the rear army, there are still 600,000 people!
Aggrieved!
Despised !
But at the same time, a huge amount of pressure also loomed over me.
In the eyes of the Xuanwu Army, we have no threat?
What's next?
At this time, not to mention the alliance forces of Ruan, Wei, and Jin, even Zhu Xi, who was watching the battle in the main formation of the Xuanwu Army, his hand holding the telescope was a little trembling.
He was excited.
Artifact!
It's an artifact!
Just ask, what army in the world can stop artillery?
Even the most brave generals, under the bombardment of these red-clothed cannons, they are only mortal in the flesh, no different from ordinary soldiers.
Historically, when fighting, short-handed battles have largely been in the fight of generals, that is to say, the role played by a fierce general is often very large.
The appearance of the cannon is simply the terminator of the fierce general.
In Zhu Xi's mind, he couldn't help but think that Yang Eryan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the kind of master who had reached the peak of his transformation, if a cannonball fell beside him, he probably wouldn't have much resistance, right?
Even the legendary innate masters, such as Miaoxi Niangniang, can only stay away from cannonballs.
"His Majesty the Emperor is indeed my great blessing!"
Zhu Xi's heart couldn't help but sigh, he was a veteran-level figure in the Cangguo army, and he was already a 3,000-man general when he was still the first emperor, which can be described as loyal.
And he himself has risen from 3,000 generals to generalissimo in charge of 300,000 troops.
More importantly, seeing the power of the red-clothed cannon today, he firmly believes that the day when Cangguo will unify the world is not far away!
