Shunming Chapter 503 The absolute power of the heavenly shaking

The team leader Guo Liang was originally an honest refugee man. Work hard with him. When I was first transferred to the artillery team. I didn't even dare to speak loudly.

The hard work of the past few years. People have changed a lot. The one who is called the artillery explosion is not as fast as our commander Guo. Loud yelling. Full of temper tantrums.

And there are a lot of people who come crazy. The louder the artillery fired. Guo Dong's emotions became more and more excited. The whole person seemed to be crazy as if he had drunk alcohol.

Although this one is confusing. But it's very effective. The artillery of the Jiaozhou battalion has been in existence since its inception. Except for the death due to improper operation of the explosion. The cannon falls and hits people other than damage. There were no casualties on the battlefield. This certainly makes the mentality of the artillery team very calm.

But he also lacked a trace of sharpness and courage. Not in front of them or in the rear. The artillery team was also a fighter of the Jiaozhou battalion. It also takes courage to fight.

Guo Liang's spleen. Good makes up for it. There he yelled and stirred up the atmosphere. The artillerymen below were also in high spirits. The action rate is also much faster. The shelling was more intensive.

The current Guo is also like this. Jumping on the artillery and shouting. Encourage the surrounding soldiers to open fire. But he shouted. The cannon below is already inaudible. Even Guo Liang's body can't be seen clearly. The sound of the cannon was deafening. Smoke fills the air.

In fact, the wind on the battlefield is not small. Can be blown by the wind _,. Can't keep up with the amount of gunsmoke produced. More and more artillery was added to the bombardment.

The first to be pushed into the battlefield were concentrated regimental field three-pounder guns. These cannons are the lightest. The time to fire the cannon in place is also the shortest. The pounder guns and the eight-pounder guns were pushed on the side of the artillery array in turn.

This is where pre-war preparations come in. When it is big close. Quickly set up the signs. When the six-pounder and eight-pounder guns in the back pushed up, the enemy in front of them was practically no longer visible.

Just in a general direction. Shake the cannon high. The reloading of ammunition was ignored and the ignition fired, and the last thing to push up was a ten-pounder field gun. This kind of artillery action is very inconvenient. When you push it up. It's a dreary environment filled with gunsmoke. It's already impossible to see. Ten twelve-pounder cannons, after asking for instructions, did not fire.

Li Xian, the governor of Henan, requisitioned so many people, Ding Zhuang. A large part of it was used to transport artillery to the Shandong army. All the family funds accumulated over the years have been transferred.

One hundred and thirty guns fired together. Such a spectacular scene is probably the only one in the world. Such a massive ejaculation.

Today's shelling was later scrambling by people from Xiangcheng and the county, saying that it was a battle close to Ben's life. And each built a war site.

In the military history of the world. This is considered to be the complete demise of the Cooler Age. An epoch-making monumental battle that completely entered the age of firearms.

At that time, several major European powers were in the midst of naval battles that decided the fortunes of their countries. The number of moving artillery pieces was a little more than in this battle. Can be the battle of the 6th Army. And such shelling. It's the first time in history.

Everything in Shandong was founded by Li Meng. The setting of this artillery array was witnessed by Li Meng in the army before the crossing. Some empirical common sense set.

Although this artillery array was set up too hastily. Artillery spacing. Ammunition placement. The position of the officials of the order and so on are very crude. But the power is already big enough.

Maybe it didn't reach the maximum power, but this power was already big enough at this moment, and the Shun army on the opposite side had the consciousness of being shelled. Standing relatively loosely in the formation of the remaining steps ahead. But he didn't expect the other side's artillery bombardment to be so dense and grand.

Start with the infantry in front of you rushing out. Take the dozen or so guns that were put into battle first. The sound of artillery is getting louder and louder. More and more artillery was involved in the shelling.

It seems to be a calm sea. It was calm at first. Suddenly, there was a slight wind. Then the wind grew stronger. to the stormy seas.

It's already a tsunami. The whole battlefield is shaking. The soldiers and horses of the Shun army thought in advance about being shelled. I also thought about enduring the shelling. Or take advantage of the shelling to attack it.

But he didn't expect that the opponent's artillery was actually so powerful. Li Zicheng watched as the left side of the front team's foot soldiers began to disintegrate. The officers simply did not have the courage to restrain themselves. Those who can survive this rapid and dense artillery fire. The only thing that can be thought of is to run for your life. Get out of this belt of death quickly.

Shells fell. Smashed a lot of people. The plane that landed jumped again. This is true for every shot. The pound cannon is already powerful enough. Further. Six-pounder and eight-pounder guns of larger calibers. It's the Grim Reaper.

Even Li Zicheng, who was far away from the artillery array, and the generals around him all felt that their faces were trembling. Li Zicheng's personal guards could no longer control the horses under him. The horses were agitated with loud noises and vibrations. Hissing and jumping. Throw the rider off his back.

No matter how many battles the soldiers of the Shun army have experienced. What tough nerves. Yes, they can't cope with such a scene. Cracked cracks.

Everyone desperately dodged to the right side, away from the shelling. The same is true for the generals. The whole team was already in disarray.

The army of the Shun army was arranged behind the infantry army formation. It's also a mess. In later large-scale firearms wars. The horses remained calm and charged amid artillery fire and gunfire. That's because military horses have adapted to the battlefield. But most of the military horses of the Shun army are now encountering such a situation for the first time.

The face is trembling. The thunder seemed to be in his ears. Many of the horses in front of them were neighing. The horsemen who had not yet mounted their horses were desperately about the horses.

The restlessness of the entire Ma army formation seems to be contagious. It's a mess. Chuang Wang Li Zicheng's face was already calm. The generals beside him shouted at him for instructions. But I couldn't hear anything. People and horses are not like being in the same face. And like a ship in the sea. Bumps and shaking. Dizziness.

Whether it is Li Zicheng, the king of the formation. is still the commander of the general Liu Zongmin. They have already lost control of the team. The party that was hit by the shelling suffered heavy casualties. The party that was not affected by the shelling. The soldiers desperately wanted to start the battlefield. There is no longer any chance of winning. Only death.

The cannonballs fell on the dust stirred up. The smoke of gunpowder from the artillery bombardment array of the Jiaozhou battalion obscured all vision. Everything is ambiguous.

Man is in the middle of the battlefield. I couldn't even see the battle friend three steps away, as if in a dream. But for the Shun army. It's a real nightmare.

Except for the roar of artillery. human

The neighing of horses. Orders and shouts are not heard. Shun soldiers are all thousand.

"Stop ......"

On the side of the Jiaozhou battalion artillery, Guo Liang. The soldiers have already been ordered to stop casting. It's just that big scale. He was shocked to himself, and he knew it. After almost four rounds of shelling. Enemies within range are already very unlikely to survive.

Keep fighting. The cannon will be hot. And the ammunition is wasted in vain. It's a loss-making deal. But the sound is earth-shattering. Guo Liang's voice was already hoarse. No one heard his orders, and he was helpless. I had to bow and walk around in the artillery array. A door cannon notification.

Wait until the cannonade stops. Everyone felt that the battlefield was incredibly quiet. Actually, it's not quiet. Rather, everyone's ears were temporarily deaf from the shelling.

The foot soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion were all arranged, and when the first shot was fired, there were prepared cotton balls stuffed into their ears. Look at the officer's order to take it off, even so. The shelling also made them pale. Panic. It's just that peacetime military law and discipline are restricted.

As a matter of fact. At the time of the hit. Li Meng's handsome flag is also crooked and not straight. The flag bearer gritted his teeth and held the flag. Don't dare to slack off.

But at the time of the shelling. No one on the battlefield noticed this handsome flag. Who has the heart and energy to pay attention to this. The cannonade stopped. Even Meng Du shook his head. I thought I could endure the shelling of the past...... However, his position was too close to the cannon. Still can't stand it. I had no choice but to stuff cotton balls for myself and my horses.

The shelling ended. Li Mengxun took off the cotton ball. The people around me are doing the same. Everyone had a relaxed look on their faces.

Huang Ping, the commander of the pro-soldiers, turned pale. He worked in the Shandong Salt Gang. Be on the battlefield. It's the first time I've seen such a bombardment. It's scary.

After a while. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering cheer in the ranks of the Shun army. At this time, the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated. The situation on the other side is not clear. But every soldier shouted and cheered as if they had already won.

"Great. The power of the artillery is unexpectedly high. The cracked thunder roared from the sky. The villain almost screamed in fright. I'm ashamed. “

Huang Ping, who was relieved, couldn't help but praise loudly. His mood had changed from panic to excitement. Those cheering Jiaozhou battalion soldiers probably had similar thoughts as him. Thunder is certainly terrifying. But if this thunder is on its own side. Isn't it that victory is also on their side?

You can see the sun rising in the clouds. The winds on the battlefield are getting stronger. The smoke and flying dust of the shelling slowly dispersed.

The military formation of the Shun army on the opposite side was finally revealed. Fang just looked at the left flank of the Shun army's formation, which was still quite disciplined, and a big hole had been torn open. It's too conservative to put it in a big mouth. The entire left wing has almost ceased to exist. Fang Cai was still densely packed with human heads.

Suddenly. This side turned white. You can't see any blood on your face. There were only purple-black dirt and corpses. The soldiers who were able to escape the shelling were all scattered and fled.

Even the Chinese army and the right flank, which were not hit by the shelling, were in disarray. The Shun troops on the left flank were desperately dodging to the right. Because you can see that the shelling will not spread over there. The right side is a safe part for the time being.

But the crowd of people. Make it impossible for the team over there to maintain the original formation. It's also chaotic anomalies. The cessation of the shelling. Finally let Shun Jun breathe his breath. Many generals at all levels are troops who cannot find themselves for the time being. The higher generals are there to supervise.

The whole thing is chaotic, not like a child. The horse army behind was originally in formation. There is both deterrence. Now it is also a mess, and the cavalry is restraining and scruples about not affecting each other. It's also the appearance of a pot.

The cheers of the Jiaozhou battalion were even more intense. Left-wing cheers continue. And the right wing is quiet. It is said that the right flank of the Jiaozhou battalion is the one who sees the results of the shelling more clearly. But the right wing could not cheer.

Because they were shaken. Seen in the range of shelling. All corpses. Even the unseen finished corpse. Blood shatters and splatters. With a few hundred steps, it is said that you should not see so clearly. There was not a single person standing. It was the mighty shelling of the almost disappeared left flank. It all speaks. After the shelling. There won't be any whole person anymore.

Huang Ping, the commander of the pro-soldiers, rode on a horse. It can be seen slightly more clearly than a foot soldier. His face also became solemn at this moment, and he was also shocked by this result.

"Great. The power of artillery is so ......"

There are no metaphors or emotions this time. That's what Huang Ping can say. See the power of real shelling. It has left him speechless.

Li Meng's expression was very flat, he had seen more human attacks. Also know that there are more powerful weapons. Current. It's nothing more than a close-up view. It's just more shocking.

I heard Huang Ping's words. Li Meng took the horsewhip and pointed to the artillery array on the side:

"The future war will be won or lost. I'm afraid it's going to be more powerful than this artillery. But this world. Except for us, who in Shandong can have such artillery. Who can build so many such good artillery......"

didn't wait for Huang Ping to answer. Li Meng pointed the whip at the remnants of the Shun army in front again. Lang Sheng says:

"Li Chuang and his generals are old. The stratagem advances and retreats. But how to cut it in the face of the absolute superiority of power in this army is just a child's play. ”

If this is put in the mouth of another man, he shall utter it. It would certainly be considered arrogant. Li Meng said calmly. But it is unquestionably persuasive.

The world's heroes. Whether it is the king of the old and important ministers of the court. This Li Meng is the youngest one. But now. He is the most qualified to say this.

"Order. The 1st to 8th regiments of the old battalion attacked. Forward to attack the enemy's home position. Horizontal phalanx advance ......"

Earthquake after the shelling. It is almost dissolved. And the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion, who had experience, recovered much faster than the Shun army on the opposite side. And the formation didn't break up or anything.

Li Meng directly issued the order. Behind the handsome flag. There are more than a dozen large drums pulled. With the herald, the cavalry ran towards the left side of the banner. The big drum also began to pound.

The officers and non-commissioned officers of each regiment in each cohort spread word of mouth. Ask everyone to remove the cotton balls from their ears. The herald cavalry held a red flag in his hand. From the first of each regiment ran in turn.

This is the preparation before leaving. drum

Align the regiments with the order of the whole team. Each regiment is ordered in turn. Regimental axes, guns, and canes walked briskly from one line to the next. The regimental deputy who commanded the firearms unit was there to supervise the soldiers to check the ammunition and the burning of the arquebus.

These are all preparations that have been done for a long time. This is for insurance purposes only. The morale of the Jiaozhou battalion troops after the shelling was high.

The herald cavalry with the red flag ran past. Many of the soldiers shouted loudly. The cavalryman ran to the right side of the array. Immediately the mount stopped.

The infantry regiments to be dispatched in the first wave are already ready. Li Mengmo counted the numbers. Sixty digits are over. He waved his hand down.

The drumming stopped violently. The sound of a high-pitched, long, horn began to sound. The mountainous Jiaozhou battalion array began to move. The drummers of each regiment beat the drum with a similar rhythm. The soldiers slowly moved forward.

The banner of King Chuang has already fallen once in the array. In the midst of chaos, nothing is guaranteed. Fortunately, no one noticed. The king's personal guards had already begun to wield knives to kill. In order to block others from rushing to the king's side. Now I've recovered a little bit.

Liu Zongmin, who has always been in the town, was sweating. On the one hand, he was worried about the safety of King Chuang. On the one hand, there is concern that the shelling of Shandong will continue. Suddenly. A mud-covered soldier of the Shun Army crowded in front of him. Liu Zongmin's soldiers were just about to stop him. The sergeant was outside. With a crying voice, he shouted:

"Uncle Liu. Xiao Li Sanye was killed and beaten by the cannon. ”

The words are not finished yet. Just loud out there. Xiao Li Sanye is Guo Yi's general Li Laiheng. The righteous son of Li Guo. But Liu Min vaguely heard about it. Li Laiheng may be Li Guo's illegitimate son. In the barracks. Although Li Lai is a generation younger than Li Shuangxi. But the position is far higher.

Li Zicheng has no children. Li Guo Li Zicheng is one year younger. But it's an uncle and nephew. The two are equal to a generation. The next generation is this Li Laiheng. Heirs who are related to each other.

Liu Zongmin heard the news. Rao is his heart like an iron stone. It was also dangling on the horse. couldn't help but turn his head to look at King Chuang's banner. There's a lot of chaos over there, too. But suddenly, a few knights collided with each other. The horsemen on the horse were the king's own soldiers. Approached and shouted:

"General Liu has the king. The scattered army needs not be heeded. Dead soldiers don't have to care. The battle at hand is the most important. Don't get distracted ......"

General Liu Zongmin wiped his face with his hand. said sullenly:

"Return to the king of Lao Liu Dao. Please also ask King Chuang to go to the horse army behind to preside over the overall situation, and some of this battle will be fought. ”

I remembered that last night I asked if it was to fight or to go. Liu Zongmin believes that his soldiers and horses will not lose. Insist on fighting. Now I don't know if he regrets it, but it's too late to regret it.

"Each will give orders layer by layer. The pawn returned to the nearest team. The rebel is ......"

Liu Zongmin's order was given loudly. The infantry in the front of the Shun army also gradually stabilized. But it's just a sign of it.

"Yuan Zongdi. You take your horses to the left. I don't want to let the chaos over there come to this. The thief's cannon can't reach the left......"

Yuan Zongdi was not far from him. After the order, I didn't care about bargaining. He led his soldiers to the left. Liu Zongminsheng's order. The mighty generals and lieutenants under him all gathered the guards around him. Then restrain the soldiers around him according to the personal guards. Snowball-like expansion and stability.

The situation was slightly restrained, so as not to collapse immediately, Liu Zongmin was now sweating. Seeing that there was no change in the Shandong military formation on the opposite side, Zong Min's heart tightened violently. The kind of earth-shattering shelling just now. The panic and desperation are just the beginning.

That's it. I haven't had time to think about it yet. Suddenly, I heard someone in front of me shouting heartbreakingly:

"The thief is attacking"

There was another bit of confusion in the team that had just been somewhat stable. It's almost uncontrollable. I saw the black pressure on the opposite side, and the Jiaozhou battalion phalanx slowly pressed forward.

In front are firecrackers carrying wooden forks and firearms. Behind him was an array of spears with spears erected. There are a few scattered fluctuations ahead. Behind them was a neat squad of spearmen.

General Liu Zongmin only hesitated slightly. The order was given immediately. How to alleviate the depression and restlessness after being shelled. Go and rush to the front to fight. This can be alleviated.

"The battalions met. Shotguns, bows and arrows ahead. Knives and axes in the rear. Hesitant not to act in military law.!"

"Go out and kill the enemy." "Kill the enemy in battle......" Liu Zongmin's own soldiers shouted. Gradually, the generals of each battalion also shouted.

Gradually, the foot soldiers of the Shun army were shouting along. The soldiers of the front team barely hesitated. He rushed out. The Shun army, which had been in chaos for a long time, also moved.

From front to back. The whole army moved faster and faster. It seems that the flood water that has been accumulated behind the levee has finally reached the opportunity to release the floodwater. Rushing out of the mouth.

In the kind of cannon that seems to be going to kill everything. Everyone's heart is tightening. Everyone wants to yell. Everybody wants to go crazy. Stay in the middle of the line. It's in a cage. I knew that death would come. but did not run out.

The order to attack from above was to run out like crazy. Rush forward. Even if it's to die on the battlefield. It's also stronger than such crazy fear and strength.

"Bows and arrows and birds go to the front. Bow and arrow and gun to the front......"

"Spread out. Spread out ......"

After all, this is a time-tested veteran of the Shun army. When it comes to a desperate fight at close range. Or know how to wield it to your advantage. Avoid your own weaknesses.

It's a pity to do useless work. I saw that the Shun army seemed to be surging over like a tide. Every officer in the firecracker queue couldn't help but smile at the corner of their mouth. When the queue of musketeers goes to attack - one shot is a step forward. The formation needs to be restructured. It's troublesome.

But if the enemy sends it with muskets. That's what you can't ask for.

"Stop...... Stop ......"

"Maintain the ...... of the current formation"

"Check the firecracker. Check the ammunition. From the front side,. Second round ......"

The officers and sergeants of the musketeers were pulling their throats. Hoarseness of the order.

The closer you get, the closer. It's about to go into range.
