Chapter 416: Destruction
Li Tingyu stood in the front of the left side of the Kuizhou military chariot array, and the four-wheeled cart that had been improved and looked like a partial van was taller than his body on a healthy horse, and the guards on the chariot were busy placing thunderbolts in a few places in front of the chariot array.
Sometimes looking at the muzzle of the cannon that is as thick as a water tank, Li Tingyu has faint palpitations, and secretly sighs that the medicine bag shot out of this kind of cannon is amazing, fortunately, Tartar does not have a character like Wang Huan, and he can't make such a terrifying thing.
He moved his gaze forward, looking hundreds of steps away, where the smoke was filled, the smoke was filled, the second shelling had just ended, only half an hour after the first shelling, the second round of shells was fired from the Kuizhou army artillery array, and the remaining Qing army shield vehicles were a little less, and the originally dense wall of shield vehicles became sparse, like wolves staggering in the wilderness.
However, the remaining shield carts were still persistent and tenacious rushing forward, and the Qing soldiers who followed behind staggered, but as long as they were alive and could continue to run, no one was left behind. Some of the shield carts were destroyed, but the soldiers behind them survived, and they also consciously followed the other shield carts, and the corpses of the Han soldiers were all over the field on the land they ran to, bloody and provocative.
"There are more than sixty complete ones." Li Tingyu's eyes widened, he roughly counted, and muttered: "It seems that there are thousands of people who have survived, and this cannon is fierce enough, but it hasn't killed many people." ”
The same words also came out from the front of the right flank of the car formation, but the person who spoke was Ma Zuoheng.
"Although the Shenwei cannon is fierce, it focuses on the power of a single shot, and it is very good for hitting cluster targets, but it is not very effective for scattered targets." Poker Face was still expressionless, and whispered to himself, as if to hear it to himself: "It is very effective to scare people, but these Tartars don't seem to be afraid of death." ”
After a pause, he judged: "The distance is very close, the Shenwei cannon can't play the third round, otherwise we will accidentally injure the bird commander in front, and next, it's our turn." ”
He looked far away, and through the gap in the smoke, he could see that the Qing army in the distance was slowly approaching, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry on both wings were also beginning to gradually move closer to the middle, and the three waves of attack formation had been revealed.
The two were far away from each other, and they could only see a small figure when they looked at each other, and they couldn't even see their faces clearly, but after muttering for a while, they raised their hands together in a tacit understanding.
"Boom thunder, prepare for the first launch!"
The sound of the password in unison shouted from the mouths of the two.
As long as the craftsmen are dedicated, coupled with the exquisite smelting technology and copper and iron level of the Kuizhou Army, it is extremely difficult to produce defective products, and the output is high, so the number of equipment of the thunder is much more than that of the Shenwei cannon.
However, the output of yellow gunpowder is not enough, and the gunpowder field in Wanshou Valley has expanded several times, and several workshops have been opened up outside the valley, and the scale of pig farms has become more and more, which has led to the development of pigweed planting industry and formed a thriving industrial chain.
But the power and status of yellow gunpowder on the battlefield is the lifeblood of the Kuizhou army, and every general loves these yellow powders like his wife.
"Group A 1-5 guns!"
"Group D Guns 1-5!"
"Aim eighty feet ahead!"
"Put!"
Between the throats of the two, the last word was shouted together.
The sound of the cannon was different from the earth-shattering shock when the Shenwei cannon was launched, and the thunder accompanied by the muffled sound of "tom tom" shot out the burning medicine bags one by one, and the firing angle was very high, and the shot was not far.
The roll-like medicine bags flew out less than a hundred feet before they fell to the ground, rolled on the ground, and landed on the ground in front of the shield cart.
There was no earth-shattering cannon sound, no smoke and dust in the sky, but a puff of white smoke that was not so obvious rose from the Ming army's position, and in the rear of the Qing army, because of the distance and the smoke of gunpowder, Nikan didn't even notice that the Kuizhou army had hit something strange.
Cao Zhenyan, whose face was covered with blood and was pushing the cart, saw it, he was the first behind the shield cart, and he could already see the face of the row of bird commanders of the Kuizhou Army on the opposite side, when the thunder was launched, he instinctively nervous for a while, thinking that it was a giant cannon comparable to a red-clothed cannon being fired, and hurriedly shrunk his neck and stiffened his scalp, silently reciting the Diamond Sutra in the hope that he would not hit himself.
Unexpectedly, I didn't wait for the iron bullets, but waited for ten rolling rolls that fell to the ground.
The cover rolls are evenly distributed, just on the front of the shield cart, and they fall at a certain distance, some in front and some behind, but roughly in a line.
Cao Zhenyan just breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was not an iron bullet. But in the next second, he could see at a glance the rapidly burning lead on the cover.
An ominous premonition arose from the depths of his mind and spread throughout his body at such a rapid speed that his hairs stood on end.
At this moment, his shield cart was still four or five zhang away from the nearest cover roll, and the soldiers around him were pushing the car like crazy, and those cover rolls were not conspicuous, and many people did not see them.
On the battlefield full of dangers, everyone is so nervous that they are out of their minds, staring at the enemy on the opposite side and gritting their teeth to rush over to hand-to-hand combat, it is easy to ignore some deadly things.
Cao Zhenyan saw it, and he couldn't even figure out what it was, and he took the time to look around, in the distance, in the direction of Daoxing and Luo Dai, there were similar cover rolls on the ground, although he couldn't see the details over there, but the same lead sparks could still be seen.
He instinctively wanted to slow down the speed of the shield cart, but the soldiers around him were too strong, and they still pushed the shield cart forward like a fly.
"Not good! Hurry up ......"
Before he finished shouting a sentence, Cao Zhenyan felt as if his ears had been hit hard by two giant hammers, his hearing disappeared instantly, and the world became extremely quiet, so quiet that there was no sound at all.
A hurricane-like shock wave hit from the front, even though the shield car's guard also blew his body more than 100 catties into the air, the red light flashed in front of his eyes, accompanied by black smoke rolling, and then his vision turned into a pitch black cloud, and he couldn't see anything.
The brain seemed to be scattered like a bean flower by the two giant hammers, his consciousness became hazy, his hands, feet and limbs were unconscious, and he didn't know if his body had landed, as if he had hit something in his back, and it seemed that he didn't.
The pain in the chest cavity and abdominal cavity was like fire, and the hot flow came out of the body, gushing out along the seven orifices, it was really surging, not flowing, and it felt like the blood in the whole body was hollowed out in an instant.
"What's that?" Cao Zhenyan thought so at the last moment of his life.
Ten medicine packets, because of the length of the leads, detonated almost at the same time, and the black clouds that rose up were much higher than the smoke of the Shenwei cannon just now, and ten pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and in a little breath, they were sprinkled around, and the left and right vertically and horizontally were connected into one, like a high wall of smoke, erected in the wilderness.
Not far behind the shield chariot Han army, it was gradually accelerating, and the Mongolian cavalry who rushed up to shoot arrows after the shield chariot consumed the last firearms of the Guangming Army clearly saw this scene.
At the moment of the explosion, the churning shield car parts and human body fragments in the air wave flew out of the distance, and some even fell in front of the cavalry, the earth-shattering loud noise, drowned out the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, thousands of Mongolians felt that a powder magazine had exploded in front of them, and the strong wind was blowing in their faces, with an unpleasant smell of blood and pungent gunpowder.
In the Kuizhou army formation, Li Tingyu spat on the ground, grinding his teeth and scolding: "A medicine bag of 100 catties, ten is a thousand catties, and you can't kill these turtle grandsons!" ”
