Chapter 260: The Power of Artillery

So when he saw the group of generals in the hall, the courage in his heart was completely encouraged, Zhang Shihua couldn't help waving his hand and smiled: "Okay, if you are greedy, you can't chew too much, we can now be regarded as some extremely effective targeting strategies." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow let's all go down and get ready, there will be a tough battle tomorrow. ”

"I'll wait, obey!" When the generals heard Zhang Shihua's words, they sang a fat promise with confidence, and then they couldn't help but withdraw from the hall one after another.

And after knowing that these people had retreated, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but put away the smiling expression he had pretended, and his eyes unconsciously revealed the worry hidden in his heart.

"I must win this battle, I must take everyone around me to live in the troubled times, no matter what the cost, no one can stop me!" After thinking of his wife and family in Wuyang, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but clench his fists and roared wordlessly in his heart.

……

In the early morning of the next day, in the camp of the Chinese army outside Xiangcheng, it took too little time to get up early, wash up refreshed, and enjoy a beautiful breakfast. It seemed that he was too high-spirited and couldn't help but put on the golden armor that symbolized his noble status, and walked out of the big tent with the guards behind him with confidence.

"The officers and men of the whole army obeyed the order, and they all went out of the camp with the general to fight the thief. Today, Master Wang will definitely exterminate the bandits here in one fell swoop! Because of the artillery, it seemed that he was too high-spirited to spend after turning over his horse, and he couldn't help but draw his sword and shout.

Seeing this, the generals around Tai Buhua couldn't help but shout in unison under the encouragement of the artillery and the boss Tai Buhua.

Therefore, in the camp, which was originally quite quiet, there could not help but hear the earth-shattering sound of "victory". After that, in the large camp, a full 30,000 soldiers and horses also poured out of the nest and rushed towards the direction of Xiangcheng.

……

"Looks like I'm overestimating the patience of the Tartars. It seems that after the artillery, the Tartars are really arrogant and boundless. Outside the city, on a high platform not far from the city wall, Zhang Shihua, who commanded the entire battle situation, looked at the enemy's movements from afar, but he couldn't help but say so.

However, after saying this sentence to himself, Zhang Shihua didn't wait for the people around him to answer, so he couldn't help but turn to Li Wu and asked, "Ah Wu, the war has already started, Shihui and Thirteen are okay, right?" ”

"Back to the general's words, although the two generals are still inconvenient, after all, it is not a big problem if it is a skin injury. Although you can't take the lead in armor and charge, you still have no problem commanding the battle. But for a while, I couldn't ride a war horse. Hearing Zhang Shihua's unsurprising question, Li Wu couldn't help but hold his fist at Zhang Shihua like this after a pause.

When Zhang Shihua heard this, after nodding his head reassuringly, he couldn't help but say to himself: "It's okay to be able to command the battle, after all, in such a big war, no matter how much they take the lead, it's not much use." However, after saying this to himself, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but instruct: "Ah Wu, don't forget to send some good healing medicine to the two of them after the war, so as to save them from falling into any diseases." ”

"Hey, the last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, while Li Wu received the order loudly for the first time, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, "It seems that my own obstruction yesterday was really right, after all, the general is a person who misses the old love." Thinking of this secretly in his heart, as a subordinate Li Wu, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

However, at this time, before Li Wuduo could think about anything, he also heard Zhang Shihua in front of him shouting: "Pass on my military order, the soldiers of the whole army list the form of the phalanx, take the drum as the trumpet, and as soon as the drum sounds, march immediately!" ”

"The general has an order, the officers and men of the whole army list the form of the phalanx, take the drum as the trumpet, and as soon as the drum sounds, march immediately!" After Zhang Shihua's voice fell, Li Wu, as the commander of the guard, couldn't help but shout at the heralds again.

When the heralds who were carrying the command flag heard this, while spurring their horses, they couldn't help but clearly convey Zhang Shihua's order to the ears of every general.

And when many generals received Zhang Shihua's order, they couldn't help but shout at the first time for the soldiers under their command to form a complete phalanx. Therefore, after a while, nearly 11,000 black-clothed soldiers, 9,000 people in addition to the cavalry, couldn't help but form a super large phalanx.

"Hehe, the mantis arm is a car, and I can't do it." Looking at the huge phalanx quickly formed by the black-clothed army on the opposite side, Tai Buhua, who thought that he could easily achieve victory with artillery in hand, couldn't help but snort with disdain.

However, after snorting coldly, he was a little cautious, but he couldn't help but give an order, and the 30,000 soldiers under his command put out an offensive formation in turn.

"General Guo, it's time for you to show off your skills." When the 30,000 troops under his command also put out a strict and huge attack formation at the first time, Guo Zhengyang, the thousand-household officer of the artillery unit, couldn't help but smile like this.

"Rest assured, the last general will do his best." Seeing that Tai Buhua, who was a first-class officer, was so kind to him, Guo Zhengyang, who was an artillery soldier, couldn't help but say so.

However, after patting his chest and making a guarantee, Guo Zhengyang couldn't help but bow his head and hug his fists and said: "However, artillery is used in field battles, and it is good at attacking but not defending." So I'll have to bother you later, Marshal, and send troops to guard it. ”

"Hahaha, this is nature. General Guo rest assured, after the war starts, I will send 3,000 elite soldiers to guard it. As long as General Guo fights well and makes good use of the artillery for Captain Ben, then Captain Ben will definitely be the Son of Heaven and reward General Guo for promoting you. In order to reassure Guo Zhengyang and give full play to his strength, Tai Buhua couldn't help but say this with a smile.

And Guo Zhengyang himself heard Tai Buhua's words, as a Han official, but he has always dreamed of making such a career as his ancestors, he couldn't help but be extremely grateful to Tai Buhua and hugged his fist deeply and said: "Lord Taiwei Xie values it, please rest assured that Lord Taiwei will not let you down this time." ”

After saying this, Guo Zhengyang bowed deeply to Tai Buhua again, and couldn't help but retreat and prepare.

"Soldiers, seal your wife and son, and make contributions today, for the sake of the court, kill the thief!" When Guo Zhengyang retreated, and everything was ready, Tai Buhua, who was riding on the war horse, pointed a sword at the sky, and couldn't help but roar angrily.

Hearing such an angry roar and deafening war drums, it couldn't help but spread throughout the entire battlefield again, and nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers shouted "Kill Tartar", and they couldn't help but kill the black-clothed army with almost unstoppable power like a tide.

……

"Look, Shogun, the Tartars are here!" Seeing the mountains of officers and soldiers killing them, Li Wu, who was guarding behind Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihua after silently swallowing a mouthful of spit.

And after Zhang Shihua himself heard this, his originally calm face couldn't help but become serious. "The whole army listens to the order, beats the drums, and marches!" Zhang Shihua shouted with his sword like this. Then they saw the black-clad army like a dark cloud, roaring angrily, and fearlessly slaughtering the enemy, who was nearly three times as large as them.

"Oh my God, such a majestic and mighty army is just a group of bandits!" On a high platform in front of the right flank of the officers and soldiers, Guo Zhengyang, who saw the black-clothed army for the first time, looked at the neat queue, the banners were clear, and the black-clothed army with bright armor couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that this battle is not easy to fight, and you have to show all your skills." Looking at the more than 10,000 black-clothed troops whose elite level far exceeded his own, Guo Zhengyang couldn't help but roar angrily after thinking about it so secretly in his heart: "All gunners, prepare, load!" ”

At the same time, on the left flank of the black-clothed army, Zhang Shihui, who had just received thirty sticks and could not ride a war horse, did not know that the enemy's artillery was on their side.

But although I don't know, Zhang Shihui is not the first time to go to the battlefield after all. So after the battle began, although the injury on his buttocks made him feel unbearable pain every step he took, he still roared, trying to keep his soldiers in the best queue and exert their greatest strength.

"Give me some fucking momentum, his grandmother, since you don't have a stick on your ass, then you can keep the queue for me, and hold the lifeline in your hands for me. If that one is scared, just give my mother a few shouts to the labor, don't kill people and make me guilty again! ”

Although every step he took, his injured buttocks hurt like a pinprick, but in order to boost morale, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but shout like this all the time.

Although it is unusual to say such morale-boosting words, not to mention, under his shouting, the thousands of black-clothed soldiers under his command still gradually walked out of the best steps and showed the best state.

However, under his incessant encouragement, when he was still three hundred paces away from the enemy, that is, more than four hundred meters away, a deafening roar suddenly came from the enemy formation on the opposite side.

"Whoosh!!" With a deafening roar, there was the sound of a meteor piercing the sky. After hearing such a voice, as soon as the thousands of black-clothed sergeants on the left flank raised their heads, they couldn't help but see twenty fist-sized iron balls smashing towards them like meteors.

"This, this, this...... Sword and shield hand, fast defense, fast defense! "Because I had never seen such an offensive method at all, a deputy Qianhu who commanded the army in place of his wounded Chiho did not panic and gave such a wrong order.

"Bump! Bang Bang!! "Just imagine, how can a hardwood shield covered with iron block the fierce attack of the Tartar artillery. So with a crackling sound and a terrifying startling sound, the dozens of sword and shield hands holding shields in front of them couldn't help but be smashed into stumps and broken arms by the iron ball like a meteor.

Yes, a stump and a severed arm. This meteor-like iron ball cannonball cannonball is not something that human power can compete with at all, and if it is smashed in the chest, it can directly penetrate a soldier wearing heavy armor, and if it is smashed on the limbs, it will amputate the soldier's leg instantly!

"Ah!!h Heart-rending, not to mention heart-rending, these dozens of soldiers who were unfortunately hit by the enemy's artillery, but were even more unfortunate and were not killed on the spot, made a sound like a terrible ghost being roared in a pan.

Therefore, hearing such a roar, and seeing the stumps and broken arms everywhere in front of him, even the most heroic and fearless black-clothed soldiers in front of him couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

"Medic, Medic! Why don't you and treat the wounded soldiers and stop the bleeding for the wounded soldiers! Also, all the commanding thousand households have also listened to me, and from now on, no one will be allowed to stop moving forward without my orders. If you dare to stop and delay the speed of the army's march, don't blame labor and management for being polite. ”

"I've got the courage to give my mother, I'm afraid of a ball, isn't this just twenty big trebuchets. His grandmother's, there are thousands of us, even if they stand still and let them smash it, they will smash it for a few days and nights. Also, labor and management, who can't ride a horse with a military stick, are all with you, are you afraid of the fucking ball! ”

I have to say that the long-term fighting career has indeed made Zhang Shihui improve a lot. After seeing the enemy's artillery and causing confusion to the soldiers on the front line, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but endure the pain, walked to the place close to the front line in three steps and two steps, and roared like this when the panic had not yet spread, minimizing the negative impact of the artillery on the soldiers.

……

"Sure enough, it's an elite! It only took such a short time to restore order, and it seems that this battle will not be easy! Guo Zhengyang, who commanded the artillery team, looked at the black-clothed soldiers who had reorganized the formation in just a moment, and couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.

However, although it is admiration, from Guo Zhengyang's face, it can still be seen that he has deep confidence in the artillery under his command.

"No one can stop me from making achievements, no one can stop me from regaining the glory of my family!" Thinking so firmly in his heart, when the twenty bronze cannons were almost cooled, he couldn't help but raise his arms and shout: "Everyone prepare, load, ignite!" ”

"Knock knock!!" With his roar, twenty cannons couldn't help but roar with him. Then twenty fist-sized cannonballs could not help but shoot towards the black-clothed army not far away like meteors piercing the sky again.
