The knot is not cool, and the moon is indicated
"Quick!" Although Zhao Ximin didn't know what this kind of cannonball was for, he was still full of fear for this kind of thing made of steel, although the cannonball that exploded in the air just now didn't cause any casualties, and it didn't pose any threat to himself, but he felt a taste of fear from the bottom of his heart. While thinking about this, he shouted orders to the generals and heralds guarding beside him, "Let the people in front move and start attacking the city!" ”
The heralds who heard the order began to give orders to the phalanx officers beside them, and the officers shouted the password, and the soldiers at the front were full of reluctance, looking at each other, unwilling to move forward.
But those officers were already familiar with this situation, and without saying a word, they grabbed a few thorns and dragged them to the front of the battle and slashed them to death, "Those who disobey orders!" Kill! Fear the enemy and not the former! Kill! Don't fight for the former! Kill! ”
With this bloody lesson, although the cannon fodder at the front was still full of reluctance, they had to march forward with the swords and guns of the soldiers behind them, their steps were messy, and they stumbled and choked slowly forward on the uneven plain. The plains are full of deep ditches and undug stumps left by trees, and the ground covered by weeds is deep and shallow, and walking on it is a great inconvenience to the people who walk on it. However, this was originally part of the battle plan, and if anyone was too idle to level the entire plain, the enemy's speed on the ground would be greatly increased, and large siege equipment could be freely transported, and at worst, the speed of cavalry movement could be increased, causing problems for shooting on the walls.
"Strange," Li Yuan put down the binoculars, "what are these people going to do?" Is this going to be a siege? ”
"It's supposed to be a siege, right?" Someone hesitated and said, "If you don't attack the city, what are you doing here?" It's not like you're going to be beaten, is it? ”
"Who knows?" Qian Longzhou's eyes did not take off the "fire at me" in the telescope, and said in his mouth, "This should be preparing to attack the city, if it is correct, this is the first batch of troops to enter, there are not many fighters in it, and it is basically used to consume our ammunition."
"Yes," said one of the snipers next to us, "we still have a trench in front of the wall, and if we don't fill it in, the siege engines won't be able to reach the city at all, and they won't be able to threaten us at all." ”
"Meow! To run! Qian Longzhou suddenly shouted, Zhao Ximin in his telescope had already begun to turn his horse's head and turned away, and more than a dozen more gorgeously dressed officers also rode horses to follow, "How is the hexagonal cannon assembled?" ”
He didn't care about keeping an eye on his target, and turned his head to look at the emplacement of the hexagonal cannon, where the soldiers were busy operating. The launcher was still holding the fire tube that had already been threaded in his hand and waiting for the loading to be completed, and when he saw the commander-in-chief looking over, he couldn't help but sweat on his head, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to bow his head and whisper to his comrades who were loading, "Hurry up, hurry up, the chief is watching this side." ”
"The chief can't look fast!" The loader said as he pushed the cartridge deep into the chamber, "This has to be done one by one, and if you are in a hurry, what if you blow up the chamber?" What if someone dies in the chamber? ”
The launcher's palms were so anxious that his palms were wet, and he was almost disobedient when he looked at him, "You should move quickly anyway!" Don't talk to me, the chief is watching me! ”
The ship is far from being alone, and it is obvious that it is a lonely enemy
Qian Longzhou was also so anxious that sweat broke out on his nose, but there was no way, and when he put his eyes in front of the telescope again, he couldn't find the "shoot at me".
"No need to open fire, the targets have already run!" Qian Longzhou said a little angrily, "Continue to reload and prepare for the next round of shooting." ”
Li Zhen sent a message from the wooden fort to the city wall, "The enemy has begun to approach, and when you enter 1,200 meters, you can open fire with a smoothbore cannon." ”
"It's still early," Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the news sent, but he was not an officer in the combat unit, and he couldn't do anything about giving orders or anything, at most he was just a staff officer.
But the current chief of the General Staff of the Foreign Legion is Naoki Maruyama, he is just an ordinary staff officer, even if he is a veteran, he is still a staff officer who does not fart without a commander.
But Maruyama didn't say a word from the beginning, holding a feather fan in his hand and gently flapping it towards himself, he didn't intend to pretend, because today's weather is indeed a little hot, even if there is wind now, the temperature is still about twenty-four or five degrees, and the bright red Foreign Legion uniform he is wearing now is the officer's woolen material, which can be described as quite thick. Although he is the chief of staff, he is blind to the current situation and does not know what to do at all. He could still say something about the strategic level, but he had no experience in an all-firearms battle at the moment. The things of the war can't be messed around, and since he has no experience, he is here to watch the war as an ordinary staff officer.
The soldiers of the South Bank Army in the distance were walking towards this side, and Maruyama's heart was surging, and the soldiers in front of him were wearing tattered clothes and walking towards this side, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion in his heart. If a few months ago, his army was as ignorant as those on the other side who did not know that death had come, and now the newly formed companies of the Foreign Legion were basically formed by the subordinates of his old unit, and now it is time to test their combat effectiveness. The huge disparity in weapons between the two sides had already put a huge cup tag on the south bank array, and he looked around at the soldiers and heavy weapons waiting on the walls, and could only mutter a few words to the approaching enemy in the distance, God bless them.
The knot is not reluctant, and Sun Cha takes the lonely post
"Look!" Someone shouted in the marching procession, "When you get to the front block, go quickly, and try to walk quickly to a distance of two miles." ”
The soldiers looked up at the city wall one by one, the city wall five or six miles away was only a little bit of size, because the distance was very far, and there were no flags on the city wall, so it seemed that the scale of the castle was small, and there was no threat at all. But the soldiers around them were very worried, they had participated in the siege of the city quite a lot, and each time they had to carry a ramstick or a huge wooden shield, but now the people around them did not have these things. What does it mean to march towards the walls without siege equipment? There is only one reason, that is, they are simply sent to death.
The soldiers of the South Bank Army staggered along the grass, and when they looked up, the walls in the distance were still so big, and some of them began to grumble, and many of them had chapped lips, felt smoke in their throats, and spoke hoarsely, while the gurgling of their stomachs came and went, and even those who were marching could hear it clearly.
"How far is it?" "That's right! I've been walking for a long time, why haven't I gotten there yet? The grumblings of the soldiers began to rise one after another, and the officers yelled at them viciously, "What are you doing? Walk so slowly! Come on! Come on! Didn't eat? ”
"Didn't you skip a meal?" Immediately, some soldiers were sneering at each other, "Can't you rest and go down?" I can't walk without eating. "That is, the emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers, let us go to war and don't let us eat!"
"No nonsense! In the nonsense directly hit the board! A sergeant was yelling loudly, but the soldier obviously didn't eat it, "If you hit the board, you will hit the board, Lao Tzu is going to fight now, I'm afraid of you!" The big deal is death! I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that you will hit the board? ”
After the hatred and hatred of the distant complex ball by the cold enemy Kao Yu Tai but something happened that made Qian Longzhou feel depressed, and the man in the distance wearing conspicuous armor as if it was written "fire at me" had already begun to turn around and issue orders to the people around him.
"That is," the number of people in solidarity increased, and the shouting became louder and louder. But at the same time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Gunshot!" It's a shot! ”
In the distance, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the city wall, and they naturally knew that it must be the people in the castle who had fired the cannons. Sure enough, within a few seconds, they heard the roar of the cannonball, and a cannonball flew over their heads, exploding in the air, and dense steel balls scattered in all directions, shooting directly at the crowd like hail.
This artillery bombardment was carefully selected by Li Zhen, the soldiers in the front few phalanxes were wearing and the weapons in their hands knew at a glance that they were some cannon fodder, and the combat forces of the real siege were basically concentrated in the rear phalanx, so Li Zhen asked the hexagonal artillery group to give priority to the main combat force behind to attack. The effect of the shelling was perfect, the shrapnel exploded at a distance of about ten meters above the target, and the shotgun directly knocked down most of the people in the phalanx below.
A soldier stood in the open space covered in blood that had just been strafed by a shotgun, surrounded by soldiers who had fallen to the ground after being shot, and his stumps and severed arms were flying in all directions, blood was splashing, and the grass was covered with blood. The dead lay on the grass like rotten logs, and the undead were screaming as they hugged the place they had just been hit by the shotgun. This kind of scream is the most demoralizing, and the soldiers in the phalanx next to them were stupid by this style of play, what is this called fighting? Simply a massacre? If you want to say that when you fought in the past, it is not that you have not used cannons, but that kind of cannons can only be fired in about half a mile, and the lethality of the cannonballs is very limited, even if it is a general cannon, the kind that can hit three miles away, it is just a big iron ball, and when it flies in the air, it is slow, as long as the eyes are sharp, and the hands and feet move quickly, it will not be hit.
But Ruan Wei's cannonball is completely out of common sense! You can't see the shells when you fly in the air, and they will explode when they fly to your head, shooting you at the crowd with an unknown number of projectiles, which are so thin and small and powerful that there is no way to dodge them, so it can be said that as long as the other party is aiming at this side, their death time has already arrived.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Rush up! "The officers of several nearby phalanxes are also afraid, they have seen the effect of the explosion just now, if they are targeted, whether they can survive or not depends entirely on luck." Yes! "With another different scream, the soldier who had been standing in the open field and was lucky not to be hit suddenly jumped up, threw the knife in his hand to the ground, turned his head and was about to flee back, but was immediately caught by the men of the military justice team next to him, pressed to the ground, and hacked to death. Retreat! Kill! Although the military judge's voice was loud and loud, everyone could hear that their voices were also full of trembling trills.
The soldiers in front were already frightened by such a bombardment, and they ran towards the city wall, no one knew how many such cannons there were on the opposite side, nor how long it would take to reload such cannons once, but if they did not rush forward, they would only leave more opportunities for the other side to fire such cannons. And the slower you go, the easier it is to be targeted by the enemy, and everyone starts to run around, although everyone's stomach is still rumbling, but in the face of life and death threats, no one cares about this matter anymore.
"What a hell of a stupid," Xiao Jing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "It's at least 1,300 meters, start running, run under Shabak and still have the strength to attack the city?" ”
"That's two thousand meters," Qian Longzhou corrected him, "running two thousand meters, it will take at least ten minutes to arrive, and it will take at least twenty minutes to climb over the three trenches in front of us, and it is impossible for the enemy with about 7,000 men to get close at all." ”
"That's so," Li Yuan said beside him, "but what about them? He pointed with his hand, and everyone's eyes followed the direction of his finger, and sure enough, at the entrance of the official road, there were more troops entering the battlefield, and it seemed to be endless.
At this moment, the wind suddenly began to increase to about level five, and the cold air also came with the wind, blowing the whole body of the people running in front of him shivering.
"Demon Wind! Demon Wind! Immediately someone shouted. Those who rushed to the front were blown cold hands and feet, they didn't eat anything at first, their bodies were not warm, and they couldn't stand up with their hands and feet shivering when they were blown by the cold wind, and many of them fell to the ground directly with a puff, and even kowtowed directly in the direction where the wind was blowing.
"Don't kowtow, rush! Take this city and you will have food! The officer next to him brandished his weapon and yelled at the soldiers who couldn't walk, in fact, they didn't eat much themselves, and now they are weak in their legs and feet when they are blown like this, but how can they not know that Ruan Wei is ruthless, the life and death of soldiers has never been his concern, if he fails to capture the city, I am afraid that these officers will also be punished, if they are demoted to soldiers, then they can only become cannon fodder and be sent to the front to die.
"Fifteen hundred meters!" The rangefinder soldiers shouted again, and the soldiers of the smoothbore artillery crew were gearing up, they had already loaded the shells, the angle had been adjusted to the maximum, and they were waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range.
