Chapter 317: The Yellow River Fu (Part 16)
Chapter 317: The Yellow River Fu (Part 16)
Because the flood came too suddenly the other day. Huai'an Third Army when it hastily moved towards the mountains. The vast majority of the baggage was discarded.
So the rest of the armor was dismantled. can barely meet the basic needs of more than a thousand veterans.
Except for the outermost two rows. The rest were front bra armor. Bare back.
And not exactly plate armor either. Quite a few people. On his chest, he wore a lotus leaf armor and a piercing armor that he had temporarily borrowed from friendly forces. Behind. Except for a thin layer of military uniforms. Nothing.
However. But they were relieved. With his back to the other group of Tanma Red Army who had outflanked him. Fearless.
Because. They see. Their own warships were already approaching the riverbank. The first update saw the first imitation big food spinnaker. A dazzling red flag was hoisted. And on the flag. The big star.
That means: In the cabin sat their lord. Their gods.
Although Zhu Chongjiu dislikes it very much. They used him like a magic stick. However. In the eyes of the vast majority of Huai'an soldiers. He is the reincarnated Maitreya. It's their gods. It is worth following for a lifetime. A lifetime of worship.
It's him. When they were on the verge of starvation. Gave them their first bowl of hot porridge.
It's him. Sue sรน their men walk in the world. You need to keep your chest up and your head up. You don't have to bow down to anyone.
It's him. Give them military pay and honor. And the land. so that they can henceforth straighten their waists. Be the first to update and live like a man. Feed your wife and children like a man.
It's him. Tell them personally. This qiฤ was something they deserved a long time ago. No handouts from anyone are needed. I didn't get it. It's just that shameless people have robbed them of their wealth.
It's him. led them from a victory. On the way to the next victory.
It's him. Let them live as individuals. So. I'd rather die like a human being.
So. They were willing to follow him. Fight to the end for a goal that you can't understand at all.
Even if there are many of them. It is never possible to see the goal achieved with your own eyes.
So. They were willing to give him their backs.
Albeit. They don't know by what means. Go and stop the roaring 3,000 Tanma Red Army.
Answer. It didn't take long for it to appear.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom." The first two battleships approached the river bank. Sideways over the hull. Rushing to a position three hundred paces behind the Third Army. Swift came a round of relay shots.
Four six-pound rifled guns. Shot from the muzzle of each gun. It's all flowering shells filled with gunpowder.
Flowering shells smashed into the dense ranks of the Tanma Red Army. Three explosions. A dumb fire.
"Boom." "Boom." "Boom." Huge columns of smoke rose through the crowd. Countless shrapnel and lead balls. Sweep around the smoke column. Within three steps. All living creatures that have been affected. They were all beaten directly into a sieve. There are no dead bodies.
"Buzz." The 3,000 Tanma Red Army that is running high. It's like a pheasant choking its neck. All actions. It all came to an abrupt end.
Three black hole craters are exposed in the middle of the team. There are also more than a dozen mutilated remains. Surrounded by craters and corpses. Fear spreads outward in circles. Whether it's the one at the front of the line or the one at the back of the line. are all affected. No one was spared.
All of them have an inclined upper body. Inside-out. As if dodging an invisible shrapnel. The invisible shrapnel didn't hit anyone. But in an instant, it stung all souls.
"The whole team. The whole team. He Zongzhe shook the reins desperately. Run from the front of the line to the back of the line. "The whole team is moving forward. Can't stop. Stop and be a target. Be the first to update"
"Run. Run. They won't be able to aim when they run.!" Several thousand households and a thousand households. He also rode back and forth on horseback. Boost morale.
For this thing about artillery. They are no strangers to each other. When I used to fight against the Yingzhou Red Turban. I have been bombarded by the other party's indiscriminate bombardment. This afternoon, when attacking Mangdang Mountain. They had also seen the four-pound cannon that they had kidnapped from their home. How to blow up the red turban thieves on the mountain to the back.
But. Countermeasures spoken out of the mouth. But it is far less credible than seeing reality with the eyes.
This group of soldiers of the Red Army of Tanma is indeed trying to form a team. It is true that efforts are being made to get rid of the fear brought by artillery. Keep charging forward. Prepare behind the ranks of the Third Army in Huai'an. Strike them a fatal blow.
However. The shadow of the three flowering bullets. But it stiffens everyone's movements. No matter how hard you want to move your legs. The degree is far from the previous level.
"Brute. Rubbish. The major general is not thin. He Zongzhe was so anxious that the fire burned. He swung his scabbard and smashed it on the backs of the brothers around him.
Because of riding on horseback. He could see the whole battlefield clearly. At a distance of more than three hundred and fifty paces. The Huai'an army has already pushed the route. Got hands on Tamur.
Although the number of soldiers under the command of Tayin Timur was much higher than that of the other side. Although the other party has just experienced a fierce battle. And they are waiting for work. But. The more than 3,000 Tanma Red Army. is still being crushed and retreating.
There was no way to rush within half a meter of the gun. The first update, even if it succeeds once or twice once in a while. Nor can the guns hurt their muscles and bones. And the spear in the hands of the Huai'an army. Every round of thrusts. can be the Red Army of Tanma under the command of Timur. Pierce down an entire layer. Such as a sharp knife peeling bamboo shoots. There is no suspense.
It's a simple gun formation. The front is simply not something that can be shaken by human beings. The only flaw. Right behind you. So He Zongzhe must bring his own people. Chase it as fast as you can. Provide strong support to their own robes in a timely manner.
Degree has become the key to this battle. If only they could get over in time. and Deyin Timur and others flanked the Huai'an army before and after. There is no doubt that this battle will be won.
And if they allowed Timur's subordinates to be killed by the Red Turban thieves like Wang Baobao's Chinese army before. When the battle flag with the word "Xu" written on it turned around. They will die without a place to bury.
The reason is simple. Everyone understands it.
However, know and do. But it's two completely different things.
Although He Zongzhe worked hard. Although the Tanma Red Army under his command is the descendant of Chakhan Timur. I am very willing to serve the death force of Chahan's uncle and nephew.
But three hundred and fifty paces away. But it's so far away.
They didn't have to wait for them to regain their spirits. "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom.". Four more flowering catapults were fired into the ranks. Two explosions. Two dumb fires. Lift up large stumps of minced flesh.
The neat military formation has just been restored. Once again, it was torn apart. All the soldiers who were lucky enough not to be affected by the shells. The first update is like being pushed by an invisible hand. Sideways body. The upper body is far away from the projectile landing point. pale face. It's full of horror.
"The whole team. The whole team. โ
"Plus. Plus run. They can't aim when they run. โ
The Centurions, Centurions continued to shout in the ranks. But. Their words have completely lost their effect. Everybody knows. The denser the formation. The easier it is to become the focus of the shells. So more than 2,970 soldiers survived. Instinctively, they chose to distance themselves from their companions. Never get together.
As for such a loose formation. Can it still pose a threat to the enemy army? That's something that needs to be taken into account after the two sides have come into contact. No one cares about it right now.
"Coward. Rubbish. Bastard. The benefits that Lord Wanhu usually gives you. It's all fed into the dog's belly. He Zongzhe, a Khitan man, swung his knife and slashed down two subordinates who disobeyed the command. Keep your head up. Gritted his teeth and screamed. "Warlords. Fire. Ordered the gunner to fire at me. Are the cannons under your feet all ornaments......"
No need for him to remind you. The overseers on the shore are also trying to use steel knives to defeat the Xuzhou gunners. Push back to the gun position. Maybe it's going to blow up. Can be killed by their own artillery. and was killed by artillery shelling from warships. It doesn't seem to make any difference.
Moreover, the warships of the Huai'an Army. It was already within thirty paces of the shore. Shoot with your eyes closed. None of the projectiles will deviate from the target.
The captured gunners of Xuzhou who were cornered. Trembling and tearing open the gunpowder bag. Fill the gunpowder through the muzzle. Stuff the projectile into it with a shudder. Trembling and pounding it with a wooden handle.
The barrel of the gun is no longer hot. Maybe the bore accident won't be repeated. They had forty or fifty cannons on their side. And the Huai'an Naval Division was divided to aim at the artillery on this side. There are only four gates.
This moment. The eyes of everyone on the shore were full of anticipation.
In their hands is the moxa. When it is ready to be handed to the medicine twist. Suddenly. The two sentry ships facing them. 6 continued to erupt four clusters of orange flames. "Boom ......", "Boom ......", "Boom ......", "Boom ......"
Countless projectiles whizzed across the riverbank. Gunners and Overseers who will stand near the four-pound cannon. Swept over an entire large area without distinguishing between them.
"Well deserved." On the ship No. 5, which has just been repaired. The first artillery commander, Ding Xiaodi, spat at the mouth. A packet of grape bombs wrapped in wool. Stuff the muzzle of the reloaded gunpowder.
This was originally a time of water warfare. A killer move used to "clean" the deck of an enemy ship at close range. At this moment, it was used to attack the gunners who surrendered to Meng Yuan on the shore. It's the most suitable.
The bombed man did not wait to recover from the shock. Junior Brother Ding had already ignited the fuse of the cannon again.
"Boom." More than a hundred buckshot the size of grapes. Furiously swept across the shore artillery array. The surface of the hot projectile comes into contact with moisture in the air. Bring up the billowing white mist.
Wherever the white mist spreads. The gunners and overseers fell in pieces. The facial features on the face are shifted. Flesh and blood blur. Physically large and small. Covered with red holes.
But there are people who can't die right away. Lie on the ground. Rolling and wailing in pain. Columns of red blood erupted from their bodies. Like a spring. Streams of spray are everywhere.
"Boom ......," "Boom ......," and "Boom ......" and the other three naval guns responsible for greeting the artillery array also opened fire one after another.
The effect of distance on both sides. It's all the same.
A smoothbore gun that shoots solid shells does not need to be aimed within thirty paces. It's the same with rifled guns that shoot grapeballs.
When the round of strafing is over. There was no longer a single person standing on the shore artillery array. The dark red corpses lay everywhere. And those who survived two rounds of grape egg strafing and still managed not to die. Whether it's a captured gunner or a man of color who oversees the battle. They all dropped their weapons. Scatter your legs and flee into the distance. Run as fast as you can. I never had the courage to turn back.
