Section 197 Lone Assault

With Yang Chao's order, five general cannons and four golden long machines suddenly began to fire.

These heavyweight cannons are not small cannons like tiger squat cannons, and tiger squat cannons can only cause serious injuries to infantry, but these heavy cannons are simply big killers, and the existence of gods and Buddhas is blocked and killed.

The five-pound lead bullet flew out, which was not at all something that flesh and blood could stop, and wherever it passed, whether it was a person or a horse, it was all flying, just like a ploughshare, and a blood ditch was directly plowed out.

Five general cannons plowed five blood ditches in the enemy formation to the north, and four golden furlong machines ploughed four identical blood ditches in the enemy formation to the south.

Especially this Qianjin Franc machine, this is a rear gun, after the gunner removed the sub-cannon in the back, he immediately installed another sub-gun barrel, and continued to ignite four blood grooves.

And this Qianjin Franc machine is a rear-loading cannon, and the cannon of later generations is somewhat similar, a cannon is finished, there is no need to reload, but from an opening position in the back, directly put on the pre-loaded cannon, it can be fired immediately, the firing speed is faster than the bird's gun, a few breaths, the Qianjin Franc machine has already fired out ten shells, forty three-pound lead bullets ploughed through the enemy formation, immediately ploughed out a dozen blood ditches, the southern captives and cavalry directly stunned, the formation is scattered.

The captives who were originally in a dense formation and were ready to launch the final charge were left with corpses all over the ground at this time, and the formation became loose, not all of them were caused by killing, the people who were killed at the scene were far out of proportion to the shocking scene, fifty lead bullets were indeed very powerful, in fact, the casualties caused were only twenty or thirty, but the death was too tragic, whether it was a man or a horse, anyone who was hit by a shot, death was a certain death. And he was directly beaten and torn apart, and there was no corpse at all.

Those who didn't die were definitely disabled. And it was a serious injury, and there was no chance to stand up at all. They can only lie on the ground and wail, which makes the people who are lucky enough to escape even more frightened, and every wail of the injury seems to deepen their impression and remind them of the horror of the cannon.

This completely incapable weapon dealt an extremely serious blow to the mentality of the captives, and the war horses were also frightened and ran wildly. The frightened horses disrupted the charging formation, dozens of horses ran wildly in the field, and at the same time, the captives on the horses were also stunned, and for a while they even forgot to control the mounts, and were blindly carried by the mounts.

The scene of the cannon bombardment made Wang Pu stunned for a while, and he couldn't help but grow his mouth and scolded his mother!

swallowed his saliva again, so many corpses have been smashed, can the human head be cut back?

His eyes swept over the enemy line. Straight to the last captive general, Wang Pu immediately put aside the question of the head of the captive soldiers in the field, and he saw where the captive generals were. It was also a mess that had been patronized by artillery, and there were seven or eight fallen horses, and it was not surprising that the captives seemed to be very unlucky, not only were they hit by shells, but they seemed to have received more than one shot, and it was not surprising that the cannons were deployed in the middle of the warehouse street. And it is blocked behind a low wall, so the shooting range is affected. Several of the cannons were fired almost straight.

Although it is impossible for two shells to fall into one crater, they are not too far away. The captives and more than a dozen guards here, it is entirely possible to be hit by two cannons, who told them to stand in a straight line with the street.

Of course, if their eyes can see through the low wall and see the cannons placed on the street, I am afraid that they will not stand on this line if they are killed, if Yang Chao used cannons yesterday, they will not stand here, and they may not even attack, after all, they have suffered too many losses in Liaodong, but in the experience of the captives, the cannons are used to defend the city, who would have thought that the other party would put them on the flat ground and shoot directly at them.

It was precisely because I didn't know that Yang Chao had a cannon, and I didn't expect Yang Chao to use a cannon, so the captives didn't think about this problem at all, and even the generals chose to stand in the middle of the frontal attack for the convenience of officialdom, that is, the extension of the warehouse street, and this is the firing boundary of the cannon.

Even the last row of captive cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and several red-armored generals who were protected by leather armor elites were also impacted, and they were in a mess and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

It's a pity that the cannon stopped shelling at this time, and this kind of cannon fired ten rounds in a row, which is already the limit, and if it continues, the barrel will heat up and deform, damaging the barrel.

Wang Pu swallowed his saliva, and immediately found the gunner, and after getting the gunner's indication that he could not fire in a short time, he actually had palpitations, not that he was so kind, but that if this cannon could be fired indefinitely, what would the soldiers do in the future, and directly pull the cannon to bombard his mother, what army can hold on to before such a bombardment.

But he was a little unwilling, seeing the tragic scene of the captives on the field, less than a hundred cavalry scattered and rushed, the shield car infantry without cavalry support in front was almost hanged, after they broke into the street, they were isolated, but they had to be shot by the bird gunners and archers on the front and on the roofs on both sides, if there were follow-up people to support, it would be fine, after the artillery beat the cavalry behind them stupidly, they became the objects of slaughter one by one, and they followed the shield cart on foot, did not ride horses, and now they just want to run and can't run away.

When Wang Pu saw the scattered battlefield and the infantry constantly strangled by the birdmen and archers, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to do with himself.

I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in my heart, and a deep sense of loss rose, compared to this sense of loss, he didn't care about the ridicule of Li Wuliu, the head of the bird gun and the archer banner after the war.

In the past, he relied on military merits, relying on being able to kill Jiang bandits, to compare many men, but since the beginning of large-scale operations, Li Wuliu suddenly rose to prominence, and soon surpassed him in military merits, Wang Pu can't think of what use he will have in the future, this bird, bow and arrow to kill the captives is like chopping melons and vegetables, killing Jiang bandits is naturally not a problem, then what do you want his infantry to do in the future, is there still a place for loyal and brave infantry like them in the army?

With the last gunshot, the captives and shield chariot infantry who rushed to the front of the formation were all hanged, and Wang Pu was even more gloomy.

I couldn't help but glance up at the battlefield, and found that the captives were already shouting at some small leaders and were trying to appease the war horses and gather the formation.

When he looked over the battlefield and saw the formation, he found that a group of captives had gathered around the wounded captive generals, and these captives dismounted and protected the captives. But he didn't leave immediately.

"It's useless!"

Wang Pu couldn't help but scold.

felt that this group of captives was too uncompetitive, and before they could fight with their own knives and guns, even the captive chieftains were killed.

"It's a pity that it's headed."

But there are also some regrets. Although it is not yet known whether the captives were killed, the head was not found anyway.

The location of the captives is one hundred and fifty steps from the warehouse. Not to mention the bow and arrow, the bird can't hit it, and unless you can rush over and cut off his head, no one can get this military feat.

Thinking of this, Wang Pu's blood suddenly surged in his chest, as if a voice was shouting at him: "Rush over and cut off people's heads!" ”

Rush through the cavalry array of captives, charge straight into the enemy formation, and kill the head of the general!

This is unique to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But as soon as he thought of this, Wang Pu felt that he couldn't control himself.

It's a crazy idea, but Wang Pu just can't help but think about it.

The captives are recovering their formation, and if they rush out, they may be surrounded by cavalry, and the infantry will be entangled with the cavalry, and they will not be able to run away.

But if he wins, the formation of the captives and cavalry is chaotic at this time, and the number of people is only about 100 people, and his own general team also has 100 people, 100 people against 100 people. It is not certain who loses and who wins, just with the state shown by the captives in the past two days, Wang Pu felt that if he lost to them. It's better to find a piece of tofu and kill it.

Common sense told Wang Pu that his thoughts were crazy, but no matter how he thought about it, Wang Pu couldn't find a reason why he was not suitable to attack at this time, and rushed over to cut off people's heads, and the idea of cutting off the chieftains' heads erupted like an unstoppable volcano.

Wang Pu screamed, jumped onto the low wall, and took a deep breath of cool air that could not extinguish the heat in his chest.

"Brothers! All of them are available. Rush with Lao Tzu and rush over to kill the chieftain! ”

Wang Pu raised his arms and exhaled. His men, like him, jumped over the wall. Rushed out of the warehouse area, lined up in a column of mandarin ducks, and quickly approached forward.

At this time, Yang Chao, who was commanding in the north, was also pleased with the killing and wounding of the artillery to the captives, the general's cannon fired two rounds, fired ten shells, and killed several captives, not to mention, the key is to deter the captives in the north, the cavalry was stunned, and did not have time to support the shield infantry in front, as a result, these infantry were all hanged, and the cavalry behind just shot a few rounds with the bird guns on Yang Chao's side, and after finding that they did not take advantage of it at all, they took the initiative to retreat, and in this round of attack, they left at least ten more corpses, The fighting spirit of the assault was greatly damaged.

Yang Chao, who had been paying attention to the north, naturally had no time or opportunity to pay attention to the situation in the south, so he didn't find anything about Wang Pu's attack.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Yang Chao was immediately shocked, and then ran to the south quickly, but it was too late, Wang Pu had already led his troops to rush out thirty steps.

Wang Pu's formation at this time was exactly the mandarin duck formation that he had always disliked.

He struck the head like a sharp knife, and all the captives he touched were stabbed with a single shot.

Behind him were two columns, stretching out their spears to both sides, and assassinating the nearby captives when they saw them.

Such a mandarin duck array was divided into a total of ten pairs, and in this way, it directly pierced into the chaotic captives and cavalry.

The cavalry lost its speed and did not have much advantage over the infantry, and although it was condescending, it also lost its agility.

And the captives were already stunned by the sudden blow of the cannon, and suddenly Wang Pu killed, which directly confused the captives and cavalry.

Without a formation, they could not spread their blows, so they could only fight separately, and the rational ones still drew their bows and arrows far away, but they found it difficult to shoot the Ming army behind them through the iron armor, and their companions were constantly killed and dismounted, and soon there were those who fled, so the captives were directly confused under this blow, and the rout began.

Yang Chao admitted that this scene made his blood gush when he saw it, and he went deep alone, and launched a decisive charge against the cavalry with infantry, which was really a man!

But Yang Chao still scolded: "Wang Pu, this bastard!" ”

He didn't give an order for Wang Pu to attack, this was an unauthorized attack. (To be continued).
