Chapter 529: Head to Head (2)
As soon as the sound of the tower fell, there was immediately a deafening sound of cannonball!
Su Can just looked back and saw ten huge solid cannonballs whizzing over the heads of the soldiers of the musket battalion.
"Bang!"
Ten solid shells accurately hit the enemy and rushed to the front of the five shield chariots. Neither the iron sheet nor the wooden planks could block the penetration of the shells.
The cannonballs smashed directly through the planks and rolled down the back of the shield chariot with countless flying wood chips.
For a while, the soldiers of the enemy army hiding behind the chariot let out a burst of ghost crying wolf howls. The huge solid shell didn't stop because of the wooden planks.
On the contrary, the solid bullet continued to roll on the ground after smashing through the heavy plank. The shells weighing more than 30 pounds, and under the acceleration of gunpowder, the lethality of the explosion is absolutely unimaginable.
Where the solid shells passed, they directly ploughed out the blood groove of the day. And the sawdust that flew around immediately behind the shells also caused a lot of casualties to the enemy.
After Su Can was slightly stunned, he laughed, from the power of this cannon, he could already see that this was those high-power cannons made by Yejiabao.
He still has these cannons in his army, and Su Can has nothing to worry about. Immediately shouted at the tower: "Bomb those chariots for me, and leave the rest to us to clean up." ”
After receiving the response from the iron tower, Su Can immediately no longer hesitated, and ordered the 30,000 musket battalion soldiers to throw away their shields and start to line up to kill the enemy.
The enemy army only had a total of fifteen shield chariots, and the Yejiapu army destroyed five of them as soon as they opened fire, and the remaining ten were destroyed by the iron tower with artillery before they could be raised.
The enemy army without a hiding place was immediately exposed in front of the Yejiabao army, and the 30,000 musket battalion soldiers were directly arranged in three rows, each row was 10,000 people, and 10,000 muskets were fired.
In the face of the dense rain of bullets without any pause, the soldiers of the musket battalion before the enemy could react were immediately and mercilessly slaughtered.
However, the distance between the two sides was only about 50 meters, and the four commanders of the enemy army could no longer care about the life and death of the soldiers of the musket battalion in front.
They directly ordered the whole army to press up, and the melee between the two armies was about to break out.
Su Can will never allow such a situation to occur, at least not yet. From the moment the battle began, it was only half an hour from now, and half an hour was still there.
If this will enter hand-to-hand combat, where are the 30,000 soldiers of Yejiabao the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Fire, fire!"
Su Can let out a sharp roar and kept urging the artillery to fire.
More than 100,000 troops rushed up at the same time, and all the enemy troops within Su Can's line of sight were within a hundred meters, and this was the best time for the small copper cannon to strike.
"Boom, boom!"
At Su Can's urging, two hundred small copper cannons opened fire at the same time, and the power of the scattered bullets exploded in this dense enemy army, forming an immeasurable lethality.
Yejiabao's artillery didn't need to aim at all, just ignite the cannon and then turn the ammunition, as long as the shells were fired, they would definitely be able to kill and wound a large number of enemy troops.
In the face of such a ferocious attack by the Yejiabao army, this time the enemy army surprisingly did not retreat, but rushed forward frantically at the risk of death.
At this moment, there was no way for the two sides to retreat, and the four commanders of the enemy army also shouted with hideous faces and their subordinates rushed forward.
Now the enemy army has no way to retreat, and the current situation is bought at the cost of the lives of nearly 20,000 soldiers. We must not give up halfway, and we must take the opportunity to rush directly.
In other words, the four marshals in front of them were completely unable to take into account the casualties of their subordinates, and they firmly believed that as long as they rushed forward, only 30,000 Yejiabao troops would not be a concern at all.
Without the cover of sharp cannons, without the shooting of muskets, only 30,000 soldiers and horses would not be an opponent of more than 100,000 of their own side.
"Boom ......"
The artillery fire of the Yejiabao army has not subsided, and under the baptism of several rounds of artillery fire, the corpses are piled up on the enemy position in front of them.
The artillery of Yejiabao was completely numb at the moment, they only knew how to ignite and open the artillery, and so on. Their ears were already deaf because of the roar of the cannons.
The 1,000 artillery men were exhausted, but they still did not dare to slack off, because they knew that as soon as their artillery fire stopped, the enemy would swarm them.
Those who are slaughtered will become themselves, including their comrades who fought together. It's a pity that God doesn't seem to be able to save the Yejiabao army this time. Two hundred bronze cannons really knocked the enemy troops in front of them unable to move forward.
But the two wings of the Yejiabao army were not covered by copper cannons, and just relying on the shooting of the musket battalion, they could not resist the enemy troops swarming like a flood of fierce beasts.
Su Can's eyes were red, he was already in a hurry, and the scene he didn't want to see finally happened. The Yejiabao army had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Su Can was in despair, and suddenly came out of the barracks with a neat shout of killing, followed by a sound of neat armor shaking.
Su Can, who was stunned, followed the prestige, and saw a group of heavily armored infantry striding out of the camp with spears in hand.
This team of heavy armor soldiers is definitely a meat grinder for hand-to-hand combat, and the armor on their bodies perfectly protects the bodies of the soldiers. And it's also full body protection, and ordinary swords can't reach their bodies at all.
When encountering such heavily armored infantry, unless there is a heavily armored cavalry to charge, there is almost no mortal enemy at all.
Seeing these 10,000 heavily armored infantry rushing out, the musketeers of Yejiabao gave way one after another.
A tall warhorse neighed, its front hooves raised high, and then rushed from behind the heavily armored soldiers to the front.
The war horse and the owner on its back are also wrapped in heavy armor, and this person is Ye Shaolong himself. He personally brought this group of heavy armor soldiers to battle.
"Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Under Ye Shaolong's order, the heavy armored soldiers roared and killed every step they took.
Su Can didn't know that the general on horseback was Ye Shaolong at this time, and he immediately ordered all the soldiers of the musket battalion to retreat without any hesitation.
This group of heavy armoured soldiers stepped forward to fight the enemy, while the retreating musket battalion soldiers hid behind the heavy armoured soldiers and began to shoot the enemy freely.
"Boom la la ......"
Every time the heavily armored soldier took a step, there was a roar of iron armor rubbing.
The enemy soon spotted the heavy armoured soldiers, but they were still not afraid to die.
"Ready, stab!"
The moment the enemy came into contact with the heavy infantry, Ye Shaolong suddenly shouted.
"Kill!"
The hoplites stabbed their spears in their hands with the sound of killing. The spear, which was more than three meters long, stabbed directly into the enemy's body.
