Chapter 198: The Power of Firearms (Part II)
When the Guangming Army and the Yunjia Army were three miles apart, the Yunjia Army stopped and lined up, although the Guangming Army did not stop, but the speed of the march also slowed down, and the queue also changed, the shield soldiers holding large shields came to the front of the Guangming Army, several rows of bows and arrows stood behind the shield soldiers, and then there were pikemen and Pu Dao soldiers and other troops, and more than 400 cavalry were located on both wings of the Guangming Army.
The shield soldiers of the Guangming Army are very different from the shield soldiers of the Yun Family Army, although the Bright Sect itself also carries out mining and iron smelting, but the steel smelting every year is not too much, and it is good to be able to let the bright soldiers have a weapon in their hands, because of the lack of steel, the shield in the hands of the shield soldiers of the Guangming Army is just a wooden board covered with a layer of iron sheet, such a shield can resist ordinary arrows, but when they encounter the firearms of the Yun Family Army, I am afraid that it will not play much defensive role, and the big shield in the hands of the shield soldiers of the Yun Family Army is directly a large steel plate, The defense is amazing, and the shield soldier himself is also wearing a set of heavy armor, which can effectively protect the shield soldier's own safety, as for the shield soldier of the Light Army, it is just a cloth coat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The war drums of the Bright Army slowly beat, and the 15,000 Bright Army marched slowly forward, the soldiers clenched the weapons in their hands, and some of the recruits who had not yet experienced the war were a little scared in their hearts, and a trace of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
As the Bright Army advanced, the two armies were getting closer and closer.
Four hundred zhang
Three hundred zhang
The Guangming Army had actually entered the range of the Yun Family's artillery, but the Yun Family's Army did not make any moves, but waited quietly, and the Yun Family's Army Sergeant Chen looked at the Guangming Army on the opposite side with cold eyes, as if he was seeing a bunch of dead people.
Two hundred zhang
A strange atmosphere spread among the two armies, some excited, some frightened, some indifferent, all kinds of emotions arose in the two sergeants, but none of them should move casually.
One hundred and fifty zhang
One hundred zhang
The war drums of the Bright Army finally stopped, and the Bright Army also stayed in place.
In this era, the maximum range of the bow and arrow used by ordinary sergeants can reach 70 zhang, if the heavy crossbow is used, the maximum range can reach 100 zhang, the effective killing distance is 50 zhang, and the distance between the two armies is 100 zhang.
In the camp of the Bright Army, Yuan Xin rode his horse to the front of the Bright Army array under the escort of the Fifth Elder and the Eleventh Eleventh Elder.
"Master Yun, please come out and meet the little girl." Yuan Xin mobilized the internal force, and the words were transmitted to the Yun family army array with the internal force.
The high-level officials of the Yun family army all heard Yuan Xin's ethereal voice, Lin Zhe and the others somewhat prevented Yun Yi from going out to meet Yuan Xin, for fear that Yun Yi would be in danger, although the two armies were a hundred zhang apart, and the range of ordinary arrows could not reach such a distance, but if a martial artist, especially an innate grandmaster, used a bow and arrow, its range could still exceed a hundred zhang.
However, Yun Yi himself is an innate grandmaster, how could he be afraid, Yun Yi waved away everyone, and came to the front of the Yun family army array alone.
"Holy Maiden, long time no see." Yun Yi looked at Yuan Xin in the distance and said with a smile.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, the last time we met was half a year ago, but now we are fighting each other, and it is still the same sentence, as long as the Yun family army is willing to give up everything, the little woman will vouch for the Holy Maiden of the Bright Sect to save the lives of the entire Yun clan." Yunyi's "long time no see" reminded Yuan Xin of the last time the two met, the last time the persuasion failed, this time Yuan Xin has to try again.
"Alas! Let's fight! Yun Yi sighed, turned his horse's head and prepared to return to the Yun family army array.
"It's really stubborn, then let's fight." Saying that, Yuan Xin also turned his horse's head and returned to the Bright Army array, and the fifth elder and the eleventh elder hurriedly followed.
As soon as he returned to the Bright Army array, Yuan Xin gave the order: "Beat the drum and advance!" ”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Guangming Army moved again with the sound of drums, and the Bright Sergeant walked calmly in the direction of the Yun Family Army.
Trample! Trample! Trample!
Under the footsteps of the Bright Army, billowing smoke and dust rose from the Bright Army array.
The Bright Army moved, the Yun Family Army also moved, and Yun Yi, who returned to the Yun Family Army array, glanced at the advancing Bright Army, and then issued a combat order: "Beat the drum, fire!" ”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The war drums in the Yun family army's array sounded, and when the war drums were heard, the Yun family army was at the forefront, and one by one the teams were drawing their swords, and a sword pointed at the bright army in front of them and shouted angrily: "First column, fire!" ”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the first group of musketeers pulled the trigger and fired the bullets from their guns, they quickly crouched down and began to reload the guns with gunpowder and buckshot.
"Second column, fire!"
The first column of firecrackers crouched down to give way to the firecrackers behind them, and as the team's order was given, the second column of firecrackers let out their own roars.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Similarly, the second column of musketeers quickly crouched down and began to reload after firing their rounds......
In the array of the Yun Family Army, not only the fire soldiers were roaring, but on the two wings of the Yun Family Army, one cannon after another was also roaring, and solid bullets were flying towards the Bright Army array.
Countless bullets and shells came towards the Bright Army array, and in the Bright Army opposite the Yun Family Army, the soldiers didn't see anything except for the unknown fire and black smoke that suddenly appeared in the Yun Family Army array, but some veterans felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
"What's that?" The eyesight of the innate martial artist was extraordinary, and the fifth elder and the eleventh elder could vaguely see cannonballs flying in the air at high speed.
The Fifth Elder and the Eleventh Elder felt that these shells were extraordinary, and they were likely to be the secret weapons of the Yun Family Army, and the two of them just wanted to say something, but the Yun Family Army's shells and bullets had already fallen into the Bright Army array.
Sou!
Bang!
The wooden and iron shields in the hands of the shield soldiers of the Guangming Army were like paper paste under the cannonballs and bullets of the Yun Family Army, and the shells and bullets easily penetrated the inferior shield and shot into the bodies of the shield soldiers.
The power of the bullet is relatively small, and after penetrating the inferior shield, the shield soldier behind the shield can only be killed at most, but the cannonball has more powerful power, a cannonball passes through the shield, leaving a hole with a large bowl mouth, and then the cannonball penetrates the body of the shield soldier, and the pikeman behind the shield soldier penetrates, penetrates, and penetrates all the way, and finally this lucky cannonball penetrates the body of the five light sergeants and breaks the thigh of the sixth light sergeant before falling to the ground.
"Ahh A heart-rending scream came from the mouth of the Light Sergeant who had been knocked back and shattered by a cannonball.
Why didn't anyone in front of this Light Sergeant make a sound?
Because they have all been pierced by this shell......
