Chapter 461: God of War
"Fifteen zhang longer range!"
"Keep firing!"
.
The shooting effect of the flying dragon cannon made him very satisfied. All the fighters of the artillery battalion were also very satisfied. Now, they have finally embodied why artillery is called the god of war. This cannon went out, and the rebels killed were at least a dozen, or even dozens. What a power this must be! If there were more cannons, the enemy would not have been able to get close!
The range is extended by fifteen feet, and at least three or four hundred enemies will be devoured. Because, after being shelled by the defenders, the people in front of the rebels wanted to retreat, but the people behind continued to pour in. As a result, in the middle position, there was a phenomenon of crowding. If dense marbles fall in this crowded crowd, the consequences can be imagined.
It's just a pity that those rebels haven't realized this yet. Perhaps, they did not expect at all that the shells would fall on their heads. After all, there are a large number of companions in front of them. I feel safe behind my peers.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
Amid the screams of the rebels, the second round of shooting began again.
Dense marbles, falling again, mostly fell in the dense rebel crowded position. This time, the landing point of the marbles is really too appropriate. The raindrops of marbles fell, and all the crowded people were immediately put on the ground, and the scene was a pool of blood. There are so many enemies that fall at once, so much so that they are stacked on top of each other, which is a spectacle.
"Well played!"
Zhang Zhun said loudly in admiration.
He saw through the clairvoyant mirror that the marbles of the round just now fell, and at least three or four hundred enemies all fell to the ground. The blood splattered was a spectacle on the battlefield. Who told them all to be huddled together? The dense target just makes the lethality of the grapeballs come into full play. Almost every marble, found the right target. At this moment, the enemy was obviously unable to support it, and they retreated one after another.
"Steady!"
"Steady!"
"Steady!"
Wang Tingrui was also stunned for a while, and cried out helplessly.
Originally, I thought that there were no defenders in Huangxian at all, and it would be easy to take Huangxian, but I didn't expect that Huangxian not only had defenders, but also the strength of the defenders was quite strong. In these two rounds of artillery fire alone, he lost hundreds of his subordinates. It's terrible, it's terrible.
"The range extends by 100 feet!"
"Keep firing!"
Xu Ziwen continued to shout.
The firing range extends by 100 zhang, which is basically the limit of the Wyvern Cannon. This will envelop more rebels and cut off the retreat of the rebels in front. The rebels in the back want to come up, but they can't. The rebels in front wanted to retreat, but they couldn't.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
The Wyvern continued to roar.
Sure enough, marbles rained down.
The screams were louder than before, and the rebels continued to fall. There was splattering blood everywhere, screams everywhere, completely out of control rebels going crazy, people scurrying around everywhere. No one knows where it's safe. Even lying on the ground is very unsafe. Because, marbles will fall from the sky and kill them directly on the ground.
The grapes bounced over such a distance that the marbles were already very scattered. When a shot passes, marbles are often spread out larger than a basketball court. Sixteen Wyvern cannons were fired, and the distribution of marbles was even larger. Almost all the rebels are within the range of marbles. There is no pattern to the sputtering of marbles. If you want not to be hit by marbles, it is completely up to luck.
"Damn it!"
"Damn!"
Wang Tingrui, who was at the back of the team, also had to quickly retreat and withdraw from the distribution range of marbles. He is still very clear about the horror of the sub-munition. However, some people around him are too slow to move, and their luck is not so good. Marbles flew, and several people around him fell screaming. The splashed blood also fell on Wang Tingrui's body. Even the war horse under his crotch seemed to be frightened and could barely hold it.
Wang Tingrui, who was in shock, finally stabilized his war horse and hurriedly looked back at his back. It didn't matter what he looked at, he felt a little chilled at first glance. It's miserable, it's miserable. He has been a soldier for decades, and he has never seen such a miserable scene. Many people in front of him just now fell to the ground at this time.
The blood staggered back and forth on the ground like a stream, eventually forming puddles of blood. There was also an unlucky war horse, probably hit by marbles, and fell to the ground neighing in pain. The marble hit one of the horse's legs, knocking it to the ground, but killing it. However, the owner of the war horse is much worse, half of his head is gone, and the whole person looks like a broken watermelon on his torso, which is terrifying and weird.
"Well played!"
Zhang Zhun did not hesitate to praise himself.
From the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun could clearly see that the field in the east of the city was full of rebel corpses and wounded, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The rebels, who were out of range of artillery fire, retreated one after another. As for the rebels within the range of artillery fire, they have to ask for more blessings. No matter which direction they run, no matter what dodging measures they take, they still can't escape the flying marbles in the end.
The terrible thing about grape bullets is that they have no dead ends at all, falling like raindrops. Unless it's armor on your body that can block the blows of marbles. However, for the armor of individual soldiers, this is simply impossible. Unless it's a weapon like a van. It is a pity that the rebels did not have such weapons. Therefore, they are doomed to a tragic end.
"Stop shooting!"
Finding that the rebels on the battlefield had been beaten to pieces, and there were few standing at all, Xu Ziwen decisively ordered to stop the shelling. The rest of the enemies will be left to the snipers to deal with. The continuous firing of the Wyvern Cannon also takes time to cool down.
After the cannonfire stopped, the entire east of Huangxian County was full of groaning enemies. Some people were lying in pools of blood, struggling desperately, and others stretched out their hands with difficulty, hoping that their companions behind them could come up and pull them. It's a pity that the enemy behind them didn't dare to come to the rescue at all, unless they didn't want to die.
The smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, and the tragic battlefield was clearly displayed in front of both the enemy and us. In the field east of Huang County, at least six or seven hundred rebels lay down. Including those who were killed, those who were injured and could not move. The land, which was originally very dry, had become very soft after being soaked in a large amount of blood, as if it had rained blood.
It was the beginning of July, the hottest time of the year, and the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius. The wounded rebels lay on the ground, roasted by the sun, groaning in pain. However, none of the Tiger Warriors had sympathy for them. Even, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army at the head of the city did not look at them with their eyes.
Betraying one's own motherland, there is more than one innocent death!
With so many casualties among the rebels, everyone was demoralized and stood out of the range of artillery fire in panic. Seeing their companions fall to the ground and moan, they just didn't dare to step forward. Some people have begun to regret why they should take refuge in the Tartars. originally thought that if he took refuge in the Tartars, he could rely on the powerful combat power of the Tartars to seek his own interests, but now the result is that it is very likely that he will bury his life here.
Everyone knows that after taking refuge in the Tartars, they have to give their lives to the Tartars, and war is inevitable. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the interior has not been very good, and it is almost about to collapse at the touch of a button, and these rebels are still very confident in defeating the Ming army in the interior. If they encounter a powerful Ming border army, or other elite Ming troops, the Tartars will not let them go at all. Therefore, these rebels were not very afraid of the combat mission after defecting to the Tartars.
The defenders of Huangxian County are typical of the inland Ming. In the eyes of the rebels, they should have little combat effectiveness. I didn't expect that they would encounter hard nails here. These Ming troops guarding Huang County seem to be even more powerful than the Ming troops in the important towns of the Nine Sides! Accidentally, they lost hundreds of people here. I don't know how many more people will die in the next battle.
"This Zhang Zhun doesn't seem to be simple!" Park Dae-sung was talking lukewarmly again. In the battle just now, the North Korean servant army has been pressing the formation behind and has not rushed up, so naturally there are no casualties.
"Isn't it easy? Not necessarily! Wang Tingrui scolded angrily.
He rode his war horse and brandished his sword, and walked back and forth in front of the rebels. At this moment, his face became very fierce. The Tartar was right behind him, and he didn't even have a way out. Since they took refuge in the Tartars, they have embarked on a road of no return. Now if you want to retreat, if you want to regret it, if you want to change your court, it is absolutely impossible.
"Brothers, cheer up!"
"Take Huang County! The first to enter the city will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver! ”
"Take Huang County! Gold, silver, women, whoever grabs it is whoever's own! ”
"Take Huang County! I give my brothers three days off! Brothers, do whatever you want! ”
In order to let his subordinates continue to work hard, Wang Tingrui also let go, as long as he wanted to get the promise, he threw it all out. For the rebels, what is for the country and the people, what is loyal to the country, etc., it is all fake. Only money, status, and women can stimulate their fighting**. Sure enough, under his constant stimulation, the morale of the rebels recovered slightly.
Wang Tingrui believes that the loss just now is only because they were too careless. They didn't expect that there would be so many cannons in the small Huang County. Now, he's going to readjust his attack deployment to avoid the cannons. According to his speculation, in such a small place as Huangxian, it is impossible to have too many defenders, as long as they attack from multiple different directions at the same time, the defenders will definitely not be able to support it, and the firepower will be greatly weakened.
"Split the attack!"
"Attack four gates at once!"
Wang Tingrui finished adjusting the attack deployment and shouted menacingly.
His strategy was very simple, that is, to overwhelm the defenders of Huang County. There are still thousands of rebels, and the defenders of Huangxian County cannot stop them at all, even if they fight for their lives, they must fight the defenders of Huangxian County clean. As long as he takes Huangxian, he will definitely want the defenders to look good. If there is still a person alive in Huang County, he will not be surnamed Wang.
Under Wang Tingrui's order, the heavily battered rebels dispersed and outflanked the various city gates of Huang County. Fearing artillery fire, they were all far from the city walls. Seeing the rebels looking so scrupled, Xu Ziwen and Liu Chenzi were secretly proud. He ***, since the formation of the artillery battalion, this is the first actual combat. Finally, let the enemy know the power of the god of war.
"My lord, the rebels want to surround us."
Peng Bo said in a low voice.
"Whatever they want."
Zhang Zhun said disappreciably.
His battle plan was originally not afraid of being surrounded. The terrain around Huang County determined that it was impossible for the enemy army to bypass Huang County. In other words, no matter how the enemy tosses in the end, the ultimate goal is to compete with the defenders of Huangxian. No matter how far you go, you don't end up near the city walls?
Sure enough, after about half an hour, the rebels finally completed the siege, and they began to slowly approach the city gates. There has been a painful lesson before, this time, the rebel attack, the team will be much more scattered. They are also very slow, everyone looks cautious, as long as they find something wrong, they immediately turn around and run.
100 zhang ......
Eighty zhang ......
Sixty zhang ......
Fifty zhang ......
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The distance was already very close, and the defenders still did not move, as if they had all disappeared. The rebels themselves couldn't help it, and kept shooting from a long distance, as if to embolden themselves. For a while, around the entire Huang County, all the ping-pong was the sound of firearms.
"Don't fire in any direction except to the east!"
"Hidden strength."
Zhang Zhun shouted coldly.
Liu Chenzi nodded and agreed, and arranged to go.
Forty zhang ......
Thirty zhang ......
The distance is closer, and the defenders of Huang County still have no movement.
The rebels, encouraged by the sound of their own guns, finally became a little bolder. Some scattered projectiles began to fall on the city of Huangxian. The rebels behind began to carry siege weapons such as ladders up. There were also some rebels, carrying heavy pieces of wood. Probably the rebels didn't consider that the defenders of Huangxian County would be so strong, the siege weapons they prepared were indeed not many, and the types were very simple, so simple that it was a bit unbelievable. At the very least, they didn't even bring in the artillery.
"Fire!"
Liu Chenzi shouted in a deep voice.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
A series of artillery fires rang out, and the cannons on the east side fired again.
Dense marbles, fired out again, rained down on the rebels. This time, however, the landing point was at the farthest point of the range, a full 500 meters. Here is the rear of the rebels. The rebels there were caught off guard and knocked down in large areas. It was also the place where the rebels carried the logs and ladders. As a result, dense marbles fell, the rebels fell one after another, and all the sandalwood and bamboo ladders were thrown there.
The rebels in front of them could not advance or retreat. Onward, there is the wall. How could they storm a city without siege weapons? Retreating, again the artillery fire of the defenders. The rebels at the front really can't choose. However, they don't have much time to decide. Therefore, at this time, the Tiger Army fired.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Dense gunfire rang out incessantly.
The rebels at the front fell in pieces. Occasionally, one or two survivors were also knocked out by a sniper shot. There was artillery bombardment in the back, and there was intensive fire from guns in front, and the rebels who were hit head-on were suddenly in chaos. The first reaction of most of the rebels is how to flee for their lives, rather than continue to attack.
The battlefield is full of rebels scurrying back and forth, and they rely on their instincts to find a way to survive in the chaos of the battlefield. However, no matter how much they scurried, they couldn't escape being shot in the end. There are fifty snipers in the Tiger Army, and they are looking for a machine to kill them with one shot. Except for Huang Xian, no one else skimps on bullets.
The rebels in other directions were relieved to find that there were no artillery in front of them. As long as there are no cannons, that's a good thing. So they quickened their pace and rushed towards the gates. The ladders and sassalwood in the back were also carried over. tried to take advantage of this opportunity to take Huang County in one fell swoop. It's just a pity that this is completely a dream.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
By the time the rebels approached the city walls, a storm of bullets rained down, and most of the rebels, before they even had time to scream, had already been defeated. The rebels were so close that the Tiger Warriors barely needed to aim before they could take them down. After a series of gunfire, there was not much left of the rebels who rushed ahead.
This time, the casualties of the rebels were particularly heavy. Even if the rebels realized that something was wrong and ran back desperately, more than 30% of the rebels were still knocked out of the city. Some of the rebels ran forty or fifty feet away, but they still couldn't escape the sniper's shooting. As he ran, he suddenly heard a gunshot from behind him, and he fell to the ground.
After the gunfire gradually became scarce, you didn't need a clairvoyant mirror to see that the wilderness outside Huang County was full of rebel corpses. There were also a large number of rebel wounded, struggling in pain on the ground until they died. Zhang Zhun initially estimated that the total casualties of the rebels had exceeded 2,000. In other words, this group of rebels has been completely defeated, and it is impossible to attack again.
Wang Tingrui's hands and feet were cold, as if he was completely unconscious, and he didn't react for a long, long time. The officers beside him also looked miserable. The battle just now was completely beyond their comprehension. They all felt that their minds were blank, and they had no idea what they were thinking. That Park Dacheng opened his mouth very exaggeratedly, and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, someone had already reported the tragic situation of the battlefield to the slave chieftains Dordo and Dolgon in Dengzhou City. The two of them have been closely following the progress of the battle in Huang County.
