The current situation is no longer Zhao Ximin, the handsome flag is the center of an army, the head can be broken and the blood can be shed, and the handsome flag cannot fall. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info (.) But the Nguyen rebels on the opposite side used a cannon with a long-range cannon to directly defeat Shuai Qi at this impossible distance, which made the morale of the entire army very serious.

The feud is not scientific, and the ship is cold

The enemy is far from being able to learn from the moon and the moon

Originally, according to their plan, at least 15,000 people would enter the battlefield before attacking, but now only 6,000 people have fallen, and it has collapsed in front of so many people. If you don't attack now, then the enemy's morale will definitely be high, which will be very detrimental to the next battle. Zhao Ximin's intuition told him that if he didn't put his army into battle right now, it would be difficult to win this battle, so he gave the order to attack.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with his command, due to the continuous cover-up attacks, the scout cavalry of the South Bank Army had been inexplicably hunted, and there were only about 30 of the 300 cavalry of the scout cavalry battalion left until now. Zhao Ximin was completely blind to what enemy he was going to face, because because of the southern barbarian invasion in the late autumn of last year, the nearby villages were almost swept away by the southern barbarians, and because of the rebellion at the beginning of this year, the economic life of the entire city and the surrounding areas has not recovered at all. The South Shore Army, which was seriously short of military rations, could not wait for fighters by besieging the port of Zhancheng, and could only choose a quick victory, and if it could not seize the initiative in the battle, then this battle would not be able to sustain it at all. Although he had been sending letters to Hue asking for help, and Hue had been issuing orders to cities along the way to finance the rations of the South Bank Army, these cities were already short of stocks, and most of the emperor's orders were ignored. The only place left to get military rations is the port of Champa in front, and if you can't take the port of Champong, not to mention the next battle, even if the entire army wants to withdraw west to Jiezhen, it is completely impossible.

"General! The hussar camp is in trouble! A herald rushed into the tent, but tripped over a vine at the door, rolled around several times before getting up, and saluted Zhao Ximin as he spoke.

Zhao Ximin was stunned, "What's the matter?" What's going on in the hussar camp? What happened? ”

"I heard that the hussar battalion was killed more than a dozen people next to Shuai Qi just now, and some people took the lead in escaping.

The herald hurriedly reported, "Please go and see the general." ”

Zhao Ximin was stunned when he heard this, is this worth it? The hussar battalion was the most important part of his entire legion. There were more than 1,000 cavalry in his legion, divided into two battalions, one was the cavalry battalion, of which there were 530 cavalrymen, and the other was the hussar battalion that was making trouble in front of him, with more than 640 people in the hussar battalion, and more than 300 people in the reconnaissance cavalry battalion under his jurisdiction. In previous battles, his army has always entangled the enemy's main force through infantry and enemy frontal combat, and then used two cavalry battalions to outflank and seize the initiative from the left and right flanks. But this army, which has always been the absolute elite and strong generals in his legion, is now in chaos, which makes him puzzled, and he can't care about figuring it out, so he directly took a few of his own soldiers to ride to the front.

In the open space before entering the battlefield from the official road, the soldiers next to him saw the appearance of a person wearing the commander's clothes, and bowed to the commander one after another. But Zhao Ximin was stunned by the scene in front of him, the castle in the distance was obviously not Zhancheng Port City, the not too tall city wall, to the relatively low wooden wall next to it, it looked a little shabby under the gray clouds on the far horizon in the east. There are some large platforms on both sides and in the middle of the castle, which appear to be loaded with artillery. Where is Champa like this? He took a deep breath and said to the people around him, "Take my clairvoyant mirror!" ”

The soldiers on the side hurriedly handed over a brass monocular, Zhao Ximin reached out to take it, and held the telescope in front of his eyes to look into the distance. There were not many military flags displayed on the city wall in the distance, but a large blue flag fluttered at the highest point, and in the center of the banner was a white four-edged star, he had never seen such a flag, neither the general's surname flag, nor the emperor's apricot yellow flag. He couldn't help but be a little stunned, wasn't this Ruan Yi's army? Whose is that? Why block the path of your own army? While thinking about him, he put down the telescope in his hand, not only could he not figure out these problems, but at the same time, he couldn't see the situation in the distance - this kind of telescope in his hand could only see a rough idea at all, not to mention how many enemies there were on the opposite side, and he couldn't even see how many people were standing on the city, he could only see a big red thing standing on the city wall like a maple forest in the autumn of the old country of the Wu Dynasty, presumably it should be a soldier wearing red clothes.

Red clothes? Zhao Ximin's mind immediately turned back and forth, could it be the army of the Wu Dynasty? Since the beginning of the Wu Dynasty, he has been wearing a red mandarin duck battle jacket, but it is not so red, right? So what army will wear red uniforms? Is there a misunderstanding? Thinking of this, he hurriedly waved his hand to the side, "Someone!" Take my name and go to the fortress to preach the word.

"General, what's the word?" The herald next to him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, Zhao Ximin pondered for a while and said, "Let's just say that we are the Annan counterinsurgency army and go to Zhancheng Port to quell the rebellion, if they are good people, they will surrender to the heavenly army and offer grain and grass, and our army will not be blamed for the past; But if he is stubborn, my army of 100,000 will surely fall to him, and he will not be left behind. ”

"Target found!" The soldiers at the observation station shouted, "The target is located in 282 directions, and the distance is 2,600 meters, it should be the commander of the enemy!" ”

With these words, the people who were looking forward to the telescope on the city tower all raised the telescope in their hands, and those holding the telescope were also busy turning to the direction of the report. Sure enough, at a distance of 2,500 or 600 meters, there was a group of people riding war horses, but these seven-fold and ten-fold binoculars could not see clearly the people on horseback, and they could only barely see clearly that they were wearing a scarlet coat, wearing golden armor, and there was a spear tip red tassel on the top of the helmet, which was completely different from the ordinary people in tattered clothes around them.

"Hexagonal artillery team prepare, knock him out for me!" Qian Longzhou hurriedly shouted loudly, the highest military rank present was him, and he also occupied a large telescope. Now he could see in his eyes that the soldiers next to him were bowing to Zhao Ximin, and there were some people who looked better dressed and should be officers reporting something to him beside him. These don't actually mean that this person is the commander, but Zhao Ximin's subsequent action completely revealed his identity, because a soldier immediately handed over a brass-colored stick, and the person who took it put this stick in front of his eyes and looked at this side, this thing must be a telescope. Annan's army was not equipped like the Senate army, and the binoculars could go down to the platoon level, and the platoon commanders had at least one brass binoculars hanging on their chests. Generally speaking, only the commander of the Annam army is qualified to look at the telescope, so this person is still the deputy commander, if not the commander. If you can kill the opponent's commander at the beginning of the battle, the overall situation of the battle is basically decided.

Zhao Ximin's heart suddenly twitched, he had never felt like this, as if something was tearing at his heart, very uncomfortable. Looking around, it was not far from the place where the Apricot Yellow Army Flag had been knocked down in front of him, and he was on his horse, and he could see that the flagpole had been broken into several pieces and fell in all directions, and the flagpole was stained red with blood from the splashes.

There were still large corpses on the ground, and many shirtless soldiers were carrying the corpses, and these corpses were limp with limbs and muscles, as if they had broken their bones and muscles. This frightened Zhao Ximin so much that he couldn't ride the horse steadily, and almost fell off the horse, but the soldiers on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him. He didn't care about looking embarrassed now, and hurriedly asked the soldiers who helped him, "How did those soldiers die?" ”

"There was a scream in the sky just now, and then there was a scream in front of us," the soldier who spoke, pointing to the air not far to the east, "and it was there that there suddenly exploded, and then the shotguns swept through the crowd, and many people died. ”

"Shotgun?" The corners of Zhao Ximin's mouth twitched, "How can a shotgun hit so far?" ”

The soldiers next to them all shook their heads blankly, how did they know this? Zhao Ximin is very familiar with the shrapnel, the two general cannons he installed on the head of Jiezhen City can fire shotguns in addition to round solid bullets, these haphazardly wrapped into a bag of gravel and iron slag can be turned into a fan after being stuffed into the barrel of the cannon, like a storm sweeping away anything in front of him that dares to block the way, this is his favorite weapon in battle. However, the shotgun is also functioning within a hundred zhang, and there may be one or two projectiles that can reach a hundred zhang away, but they are all exhausted, and the strength is like the end of a strong crossbow, and the skin cannot be broken, let alone shoot a large number of people like now.

"It's been fired again! Run! "Ahh Death, death, death......" The crowd in the camp of the South Bank Army suddenly exploded, they had heard and witnessed the power of the artillery on the opposite side just now, they were afraid that they would become the target of the enemy, and they all wanted to dodge to the side, you pushed me to the ground to escape, and a few who reacted slowly were immediately pushed to the ground, and even stepped on several times.

Zhao Ximin didn't care about the fried army in front of him, just stared at the castle in the distance, looked at it fixedly, didn't seem to see anything, then raised the binoculars to take a closer look, and sure enough, thick gunpowder smoke rose from a platform on the left side of the castle in the distance, and something thin seemed to be flying over in the air, and the trajectory seemed to be spinning.

The thing flew into the air, and suddenly exploded, turning into several large pieces and countless tiny pieces of debris. But the height of this explosion seems to be thirteen or fourteen feet above the ground, except for some large fragments that fell to the ground and injured the heads of a few unlucky people, the rest just fell indiscriminately on the bodies and heads of other people.

Immediately, several soldiers stepped forward to pick up a few pieces of debris, and Zhao Ximin reached out to take them. The fragment immediately made Zhao Ximin feel hot on his hands, and when he looked closely, this fragment was made of steel, and there seemed to be a word "military industry" written on the outside. The shape of the fragment is extremely irregular, and at first glance it is clear that it has been exploded, and the edges are sharp, and if you are not careful, you can cut your hand. There were a few small pieces of slag handed over by a soldier on the side, but these pieces made Zhao Ximin feel wrong, this is an iron bead, not a simple crushed stone iron slag, the size of each iron bead is almost exactly the same size, and it is very round. The hexagonal gun's shrapnel was filled with 600 0.1 gram iron balls. These balls are small in diameter, the same size as shotgun bullets, and when the shrapnel explodes above the target, it will eject these balls into a hemispherical space fifty meters in diameter in front of them.

"Why didn't you hit?" Qian Longzhou couldn't help jumping up, and he could see in the binoculars that the man not only continued to sit there steadily, but also reached out to take something and was looking at it, and from time to time he was still issuing orders to the surroundings. The soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be encouraged, and their pace of progress increased a lot, and the soldiers in the middle of the phalanx even raised their weapons and shouted something.

"I don't know, chief." The soldiers of the hexagonal gun group looked at each other, and they did not know why this was the case. "It may be a problem with the fuse," interjected a veteran sent by the military to observe the use of the new weapon. "The shell exploded early, and because it was not close enough to kill the enemy, it did not have the effect of damage."

It's really no wonder that the soldiers of the hexagonal gun crew are set up in strict accordance with the drill code, but they still can't stand the change in the fuse burning speed. The industrial system of the Senate still did not produce this kind of incendiary fuse, and the burning speed was fast and slow, and the result was that some shells would explode early or hit the ground. As for the "perfect explosion" that explodes in mid-air and smashes a shotgun into the crowd, it basically depends on luck, and it is clear that this cannonball did not catch up with this luck.

"Reload!" Qian Longzhou nodded, he also knew that although the quality of the industrial products in this eastern port was unrivaled in this time and space, for them, the veterans who had traveled through, it was still a collection of fake and shoddy products from the old time and space, and many of the current hot goods were placed in the old time and space, I am afraid that the buyers would not even have the interest in taking a look. "Reload," he shouted to the still stunned hexagonal crew, "ready to fire!" Gotta knock him out for me today! ”

"Yes! Heads! The soldiers of the hexagonal gun crew hurriedly began the reloading work again.
