Chapter 238: The Roar of Artillery

……

In the case of such a narrow terrain, most of the army would not dare to rush forward if the situation was not explored and it was determined that there was no ambush ahead. But the back road of the coalition forces has been cut, and unless they want to withdraw in embarrassment, they can only attack Dazhao as quickly as possible. In fact, it's not that they don't work hard, it's that Da Zhao has the upper hand in the scout war.

Fortunately, the coalition forces thought that relying on the infantry and artillery corps to advance slowly, the safety factor was very high. Even if there is an ambush, sharp artillery muskets will flatten everything. The only thing that gave the coalition forces some headaches were the two small but extremely strong Tiger Tooth Army and the Golden Eagle Flying Horse. However, the Tiger Tooth Army and the Golden Eagle Flying Cavalry were still harassing the rear of the army the night before, and in this case, unless they could fly, they would not be able to reach the front line. However, it is possible that the Golden Eagle Flying Horse may go around the front line, but the artillery and muskets of the Rakshasa Kingdom are not decorations. Even the Flying Army has the ability to blast them down.

What's more, in the face of the difficult Golden Eagle Flying Horse, the coalition forces are not helpless.

With the support of this thinking, hundreds of thousands of infantry troops of the coalition army continued to fill the holes with dirt. Under the cover of the artillery corps and the musket corps, little by little they advanced into the canyon. One mile, two miles. Forty or fifty thousand musketeers lined up in six long rows, all of them in straight uniforms, with majestic steps, and an indescribable sense of pride in their expressions.

The Rakshasa country naturally has its proud capital. The Grand Duke of Moscow led the principalities and launched a ferocious counterattack against the ruler of the Mongol Empire. In the end, the Golden Horde, which was once the most powerful Mongol empire, was destroyed, and the Rakshasa Kingdom was liberated from the clutches of the Mongols and a unified regime was formed. As a result, the Rakshasa Kingdom began to become stronger under the rule of successive tsars, and has always spared no effort in the research and development of artillery and firearms. And with the sharpness of their artillery and firearms, they have killed an unknown number of powerful troops. Even those strong men with very strong combat effectiveness, in the face of powerful and domineering firearms, they can only bow down.

For the Rakshasa people, the so-called Great Zhao is just a weak nation. It was only their luck that they occupied that rich and warm place. Of course, they also knew that Da Zhao had many peerless masters, but in front of countless firearms, the only fate of peerless masters was to be bombarded into scum. What's more, in the Rakshasa country, it is not blindly firearms and artillery, and there are still many knights who have strong combat capabilities, which are not inferior to the strong people of Dazhao. They have also heard that Da Zhao has artillery and firearms, but the number of artillery is scarce, and they are all junk goods sold to them by Europeans. The musket of their Rakshasa country can already achieve three consecutive shots. That is, only three platoons of musketeers were needed to achieve non-stop firing.

Boom ~ Boom Boom ~

The sound of cannon fire that shook the sky and almost shattered it rumbled. Before the Rakshasas could turn around in shock, the slowly advancing artillery positions were hit by the Destroyer Clan, and one shell after another smashed into the artillery array behind the musket unit. In the whistling sound, one by one the iron bumps or heavy slammed on the ground, but in the blink of an eye, they bounced up, rushed forward, and smashed on people, and not dying was also a serious injury.

Or maybe it happened to hit the gun, and the barrel of the gun cracked with the violent impact. Not to mention the wooden structure of the gun mount wheels, which were smashed to pieces directly under the impact of the shells. Almost instantly, thousands of shells were ravaging the Rakshasa Nation's artillery array like a storm. At least hundreds of artillery pieces were smashed, and the losses were even heavier among the artillerymen, as well as the infantry who were pushing dirt in the rear direction. An iron cannonball can smash the human body under the action of powerful potential energy. Even after one or two bounces, after hitting the human body, the cannonball still has the lethality of the destructive surname.

The torrential rain lasted only a few seconds, and the surviving infantry stared blankly. The gunners, on the other hand, knew from the beginning that they were being attacked by enemy artillery. At the officer's roar, the gunners immediately took control of the undamaged guns and tried to return fire.

They had just touched the artillery, and they had not yet found the enemy's position. In the midst of the roar, another series of rapid and fast cannon sounds came. The Rakshasa Country artillery array was once again baptized by a salvo of Zhao Linglong's cannon. The countless shells, domineering and ferocious, the artillery in the artillery array, only prostrate on the ground, hiding behind the artillery.

Boom~ The sound of explosives sounded nearby, and some shells hit their powder boxes, and the heat generated by the impact caused the burning explosion of gunpowder.

"Front, in front." The artillery commander screamed. The 50,000 musketeers, who had come to their senses, began to charge desperately at the front under the action of their commander. Hundreds of thousands of infantry, too, under the cover of shield bearers, bypassed the potholes and charged forward. There is an enemy artillery array in front, and if you can't hit it, destroy the opponent's artillery array. The only way to wait for them is death.

It's a pity that the countless potholes were not filled in before almost everyone could not charge. It can only be difficult to bypass those potholes. Countless people fell into a fight or fell into a hole in a hurry. Fortunately, when Zhao Guo was digging these holes, he didn't have time to replenish the traps. But Rao is like this, which also makes this charging formation slow and chaotic.

Looking down from the sky, you can see countless dense ants in the canyon, advancing forward in a disorderly manner. I guess there's only one thought in my head, and that's to rush over.

Zhao Zhena's dragon artillery army, which had nearly 3,000 exquisite artillery, happily bombarded the opponent's artillery positions again and again. Beat that artillery corps to the point that it had no ability to counterattack. First, they were beaten so that they couldn't lift their heads at all, and second, even if they could, the range of the artillery was not exquisite. Ten volleys were fired, and it only took a few minutes and tens of thousands of shells to destroy the artillery array almost completely. One by one, the artillery of the opposing side was bombarded or twisted or torn apart. The vast majority of artillery did not escape the baptism of the rain of shells.

The battle plan to destroy the enemy's artillery corps has been fully realized, and the next thing is the retreat of the dragon artillery corps. Although the design of the Linglong cannon is good, the workmanship is also excellent. But ten shells in a row have already made the barrel hot, and if you force it, there will be a danger of exploding. The most important thing is that the Dragon Artillery Army is one of Zhao Zhe's most important troops, and it cannot be allowed to lose. If you don't withdraw at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late.

At Zhao Zhe's strong request, Xiao Hei tore open a wide space door, which was enough for ten artillery pieces to enter at the same time. Since the situation had already been explained before, the left and right commanders of the Dragon Artillery Army immediately commanded the Dragon Artillery Army to retreat into the Holy Domain. But Rao is like this, the retreat of nearly 3,000 exquisite cannons will take at least more than half an hour.

And the enemy's infantry troops, as well as the musketeers, could rush to this position in a mere quarter of an hour. Of course, the premise that they can rush is that there is no Zhao Zhelong's spear army sniping in front.

Hong Jie, the left commander of the Dragon Lance Army, rode his war horse and ran back and forth, using a strong internal force to scream. The dragon spear army began to prepare the magazines one by one and check the exquisite guns for the last time.

"Brothers of the Dragon Lance Army, is the emperor treating his brothers well?" Hong Jie screamed desperately.

"Okay."

"All the best equipment is given to the Dragonlancers, and all the bullets are for the Dragonlancers to squander. We prepared for three years, three whole years. Today, it's finally time for our dragon lancers to make a big splash. Brothers, to the emperor and to the whole world, show the ferocity of our dragon lancers! Let everyone know that our Dragon Lancer Army is the trump card of Da Zhao. With Hong Jie's shouting, some of the people who were running at the front of the enemy army had already appeared in sight.

"Ace, ace." The dormant years of the Dragon Lancers have made everyone's hearts extremely eager to exert their might. was teased by Hong Jie, and one by one burst out with strong desire and morale. Compared with some of the famous armies of Great Zhao such as hussars, Xiao cavalry, etc. The Dragonlancers have always seemed so obscure. In the hearts of each of them, they longed to let the world know that they were more powerful than the admired hussars and horsemen.

"Everybody is aiming ahead. No one is allowed to shoot without my orders. Hong Jie's expression was cold and abnormal, he knew that the distance was too far, and the number of people was too scattered.

Time, almost in seconds. As the dragon lancers waited, more and more coalition infantry rushed forward with large shields. Dense, innumerable. The group of people who were at the forefront approached a hundred meters away. Hong Jie finally gave an order: "Fire." At the same time, on horseback, he took the lead in aiming the Linglong spear at a shield soldier more than a hundred meters away.

Bang~ A gunshot rang out, and the delicate spear accurately hit the exposed half of the shield soldier's head, and the powerful bullet hit his head with a blur of flesh and blood. Killed by one shot.

呯~呯呯~

The dragon spear army, more than 28,000 people, opened fire almost at the same time. They have squandered countless bullets, and their attainments in marksmanship have reached the point of perfection. At a distance of only 100 meters, although it cannot reach the accuracy of a sniper, the hit rate is also extremely terrifying. Even if there is no hit rate, under the dense barrage, it will cause terrifying lethality.

Sharp bullets, tearing and shattering shields, piercing through chain mail, and even, some of the thick armor of those infantry commanders. It is also basically unable to withstand the impact and penetration of bullets. The Dragon Lancers, like a harvester, mercilessly, harvested the lives of the coalition army one by one. The Dragon Lance Army, which appeared in front of the world for the first time in its entirety, finally showed its ferocious fangs.
