Soon, the soldiers of the Mawei Army Artillery Battalion pushed twenty general cannons through the middle of the two phalanxes and came to the front of the formation. The general cannon is a kind of light artillery in the artillery division of the Mawei Army, in fact, it is the improved Franc machine artillery, the total weight is only 620 catties can be fired, but the power is indeed much stronger than the original 1,000 catties Franc machine. This military cannon can fire both flowering and solid shells, and grape shells are no problem, so it can be said to be a sharp weapon for foot combat.

Although the weight of the cannon has decreased by three or four percent, the quality of the cannon has not decreased, but has been greatly improved. Many craftsmen carefully cast, and the quality inspection after the successful casting of the product is also very strict, which creates such a sharp weapon. Each cannon is equipped with five sub-guns, which take turns to fire and reload, forming a cycle without disjointing, and the firing speed is quite fast, four rounds per minute, and twenty guns together are eighty shells, which is extremely powerful.

Seeing that the ammunition had been loaded with the general artillery, Zhang Wenliang, the commander of the artillery battalion who had been impatient for a long time from the direction of Suzhou, immediately took out his command knife and pointed forward, shouting: "Open the artillery!" ”

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

Twenty generals' cannons roared one after another. At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the projectiles fired by the twenty guns, and they saw that the twenty projectiles that had become hot due to the high temperature, high speed and friction flew towards the Qing army in front with fire and wisps of green smoke. This is to break the shield car of the Qing army. Use solid bullets. It's a little more powerful.

"Boom"

A violent thud sounded. A solid bullet hit a shield cart with high heat and high speed. Although this shield cart was surrounded by thick wooden planks, the kinetic energy of this iron pellet was too great, and after being hit, it immediately spread out and fell apart, revealing five or six Qing soldiers hiding inside. And the kinetic energy of this iron pellet has not yet dissipated, and it still hits Yi Qing's head with residual momentum, taking away half of his face, and this Qing falls to the ground without saying a word, and the white brain flows to the ground. See what happened. The remaining Qing soldiers and the soldiers who were originally hiding behind the shield cart also scattered in fear when they saw this.

"Boom"

There was another sound, and another shield cart was hit head-on, and suddenly the shield cart also fell apart, and took the lives of several Qing soldiers.

"Well played!"

Seeing the broken shield carts and the fleeing Qing soldiers from the telescope from afar, Geng Jingzhong saw his eyebrows fluttering. He looked at the whereabouts of the other projectiles, but unfortunately found that the twenty projectiles had only hit the two shield carts, and the rest of the projectiles had not hit.

However, although they did not hit the rest of the shield carts, these projectiles were still playing their value, and several of them were bouncing on the ground despite not hitting their targets. This was followed by several Qing auxiliaries armed with heavy shields. The kinetic energy carried by the solid projectile is so powerful that the heavy shields that look strong are so fragile in front of them. The projectiles smashed these heavy shields to pieces. The shattered shield turned into sawdust and flew everywhere, some of which flew into the face of the soldier who was following him, causing him to be dripping with blood.

"Hurry up and reload!" Zhang Wenliang, who was standing next to him and commanding the battle, immediately gave orders to those gunners loudly.

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, the loaders next to each cannon have already picked up the sub-guns, ready to replace the fired ones. Soon, that is, more than ten seconds, after the preparation was completed, the sighter looked behind the gun about twice, adjusted the position of the gun, and then began to fire again.

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

The general cannon then fired three rounds in succession, but only eight shield wagons and more than 20 heavy shields were hit, killing and wounding about 1560 Qing soldiers. This result was not satisfied in Geng Jingzhong's eyes, but he didn't speak, and shook his head slightly.

After seeing the effect of the shot, Zhang Wenliang sighed lightly, the explosion effect of this solid bullet is really too poor, and he originally thought that the effect of using a solid bullet to hit the shield car would be better, but now it seems that the effect is not obvious. In that case, it is better to use a flowering bullet.

"Each cannon obeyed the order and immediately began to change the shells, and the loaded guns continued to be loaded and fired."

"Yes!"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

"Tom Tom"

With Zhang Wenliang's order, twenty general guns began to shell again

Looking at the rumbling cannons in front and the projectiles that drove their own sergeants out of the way, the former general and deputy commander of the army under the command of Leer Jin were very dissatisfied. Although he always boasts of his bravery on weekdays, even people like him know that it is impossible for his subordinates to use their flesh and blood to resist those projectiles that are smashed like fashion, and even if you are the reincarnation of the overlord of Western Chu who is capable of lifting thousands of pounds, you have to let you run away. But although he was depressed in his heart, he still had to hold his breath and command the battle.

And seeing that several shield carts had been destroyed just now due to the fact that the offensive formation was too crowded, he waved his hand and shouted, "Spread out...... It's all scattered...... Watch out for rebellious artillery! Speed up and rush to the front of Geng's rebellion! ”

After listening to the order of Hunan, the Qing army's soldiers and horses scattered and spread even more, which also led the artillery team of the Mawei Army to achieve no results in the next three rounds of artillery bombardment, except for hitting the three-sided shield car and more than 30 ricochet bombs, and grazing a few shield-based auxiliaries in the process of collapsing. However, although the shield and shield cart were not destroyed much, the Qing soldiers in the rear were beaten, and the number of people who were hit by the cannonballs and then bruised was nearly 100, and the Qing army was also in mourning.

The effective range of the general's artillery was only 400 meters, when the artillery team fired several rounds of shelling for more than a minute. The shield cart that rushed to the front was only more than 150 meters away from the Mawei military formation. Although by this time. The twenty generals' guns did not retreat either. Originally, the artillery battalion position was on high ground, and there was a Mawei infantry military formation in front, and it was impossible for the Qing army to rush here at least for a while.

At this time, Luo Cheng, the commander of the former infantry army formation and the elite second division, also hurriedly commanded the two phalanxes in front to spread out in formation, and the infantry in the first row at the forefront were ready to shoot. By the time this qiē was done, the Qing army at this time had approached a distance of 100 meters. At this distance, the Qing soldiers increased their speed again and began the final sprint.

Luo Cheng pointed forward with a long knife and shouted: "Shoot!" ”

From left to right, four hundred infantry soldiers in the first row of the two phalanxes immediately pulled the trigger.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Rifles fired in unison. Four hundred rifles were fired together, and for a time a large amount of white smoke and fire filled the entire front of the formation.

It's just that although the firing of the 400 rifles is very quiet, the front and upper parts of the 60 intact shield carts of the Qing army in front of them are covered by thick wooden boards, and the wooden boards are also covered with thick leather quilts. The leather quilts on the shield carts crackled and projectiles flew sideways. The flagpoles snapped one after another. But the Qing soldiers and archers who were hiding in the shield carts were unharmed.

"Grass!"

Luo Cheng also scolded when he saw this, this word is a mantra that Geng Jingzhong has often said since he crossed over, and it has gradually become popular in the whole army in recent years. "The first row is backwards, and the second row is up. Don't fight the shield car of the Qing army again, but fight the Qing soldiers who follow the shield car! ”

The second row of riflemen stepped forward and aimed at the soldiers and archers advancing behind the shield cart with shields, and the Qing soldiers and auxiliaries who followed closely behind.

"Shoot!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Another burst of fire poured out, and white smoke filled the front of the formation, blurring the vision. Soon with a light breeze blowing. The smoke cleared, and everyone saw that the result of the shooting was better than before. Seventy or eighty Qing soldiers were holding wooden shields that were directly knocked apart after being hit by the Mini bullets fired from the Mini rifles, revealing the sergeants behind them, and then they were beaten to a blur by the later Mini bullets. Some people were lying on the ground screaming loudly.

The Qing army led by Xi Erjin is worthy of being a strong army under Yue Le, and it is indeed an experienced team, especially in the past two years of fighting against the Wu army. Undeterred by the casualties around them, the junior officers in the ranks shouted at the non-commissioned officers to speed up.

"Quick...... On the third row, shoot! ”

When it came to this, Luo Cheng couldn't care about anything else, so he could only order the riflemen to speed up their shooting. Each phalanx of the Mawei Army consisted of eight hundred riflemen, two hundred men per platoon, for a total of four platoons. The first four platoons fired very quickly, and in less than a minute, all four rows of riflemen fired at once.

At a distance of 130 or 40 meters, the firepower of the Mini rifle was also fully utilized. Although the Qing army had a shield cart in front and a large shield in the back, the Mini rifle was not very good for those shield carts covered with thick wooden planks, but it was a great threat to the infantry who advanced with shields.

Many wooden shields were stunned by the crackling lead bullets that were torn apart, even if the wooden shields were not broken, but the strong kinetic energy carried by the lead bullets also beat the auxiliary soldiers holding the shields behind them to complain.

"Shooting"

"Shooting"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Seeing that the Qing army was about to enter a distance of 100 meters, Luo Cheng was anxious, if he entered a distance of 100 meters, it would mean that the other party could also counterattack them.

Under Luo Cheng's command, raindrops of mini bullets hit the Qing army, and many mini bullets hit the shield cart and made the shield cart crackle, although it was protected by thick wooden planks and leather. But it was still beaten to sawdust.

And the Qing army that followed behind the shield cart was even more unbearable. In the past, the Qing army in Jiangxi was in a contest with the Mawei army. The wooden shields used can effectively resist the bows and rifles of the Mawei Army, but today in the face of such a dense and powerful attack, these wooden shields are somewhat unsupportable, and many wooden shields have been torn apart, and the fate of the soldiers who have lost the protection of the wooden shield can be imagined.

Geng Jingzhong stood on the tall bucket cart behind, watching the Qing soldiers and horses slowly holding up the casualties and approaching his own phalanx, and his heart was also beating wildly, and now was the time to fight for casualties. "His grandmother's fight, Lao Tzu wants to see it. How many casualties can these Qing sustain! Thinking of this, Geng Jingzhong ordered with a calm face: "What's going on with the artillery battalion, hurry up and adjust the muzzle of the cannon, and continue to fire the cannon for me to continue to bombard the damn." In addition, the medical team prepared for me to carry the soldiers down immediately if they were killed or wounded. ”

Just as Geng Jingzhong was speaking, the artillery battalion position really opened fire again, and all the twenty general guns were replaced with flowering shells and began to adjust the close-range flat fire. Zhang Wenliang also has considerations here, and this time he really wants to change the bullets. The target is the shield cart, after breaking most of the shield carts. Swap grapeshots again immediately to do the most damage.

At this time, the shield carts of the Qing army in front of them finally stopped at a distance of eighty meters from the phalanx, and a group of archers wearing cotton armor jumped out of the shield carts, all of them holding heavy bows and shooting towards the Mawei military array.

The bowstring sounded, and the first wave of one hundred and twenty or thirty sharp arrows was fired at the riflemen in the first row of the phalanx. Soon, the screams of the infantry army formation and the formation of the Qing army on the opposite side sounded almost at the same time. The archers of the Qing army, who had lost the protection of the shield cart, immediately became the focus of the riflemen who had been waiting for a long time, and in the roar, at least thirty archers were hit by Minnie bullets, these archers wearing a layer of cotton armor could withstand the powerful Minnie bullets! One by one, they were shot and fell to the ground, the lucky ones died on the spot, and some of the unlucky archers were beaten to the ground, broken hands and feet, or even disemboweled, and spread on the ground and wailed loudly.

In the phalanx of the Mawei Army, the arrows of the archers of the Qing army also flew almost at the same time, and some soldiers were also hit by these arrows. The bows and arrows of this group of Qing troops were very vicious, their arrows generally weighed four taels, and the arrows were very long, so the penetrating power was also very good, and the momentum was large and heavy when they were shot.

Luo Cheng, who was commanding the battle in the middle of the two phalanxes, suddenly heard the sound of breaking the air in the air, and in a flash, a sharp arrow flew past his ear, and one of the guards behind him was shot by the arrow, and the arrow hit the guard's head, and it immediately penetrated straight, and the guard immediately fell to the ground softly and died without a sound.

And around him, more than a dozen warriors were also hit by arrows, and one soldier was also shot in the right eye by an arrow, and the force of this arrow was also ridiculously large, and the warrior was taken back a few steps by this force and fell to the ground and died on the spot. One of the worst fighters, who was hit by four arrows at the same time, screamed loudly and was carried back several meters before falling to the ground.

Geng Jingzhong, who was standing on the bucket truck and commanding, saw the situation in front clearly, and he shouted with a cold face: "Order, medical team, immediately send a hundred people to carry the wounded down!" "In this battle, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle entered a white heat, and the Mawei army began to suffer casualties.

Thankfully, the Qing archers were immediately taken care of as soon as they got out of their shield carts, so they had time to shoot an arrow and most of them immediately fell to the ground. At the same time, the shells of the artillery battalion also fell around the shield vehicles of the Qing army, and a scream accompanied by the sound of explosions sounded.

Soon, the medical team that went up to treat the doctor came back to report that the arrows used by the Qing archers were different from those encountered before, and the arrows they used were soaked in horse manure, and the wounds were easy to fester, and they shot very accurately, they either shot the door, or the neck, or the eye, so that the death rate of the soldiers who were shot in these places would be very high.

Twenty flowering shells fell, and the power of the explosion was no less than the damage caused by hundreds of mini shells, and each explosion of flowering shells would cause nearly ten Qing soldiers around them, and they would lose their combat effectiveness if they did not die. And those shield carts were indeed destroyed more than when they started to use solid bullets, and sure enough, the power of the blossom bullets was stronger, and those wooden shield carts still couldn't withstand the destructive power of the explosion.

The situation in front of him fell in the eyes of the deputy commander of the Qing army, but it made him thunderous, at this time, the Qing army has more than 1,500 casualties, such a loss is really unbearable, this is not an ordinary auxiliary, but are the elite under his command, so it is not worth it to die before touching the enemy's edge.

"Bastard, how can the artillery fire of the Mawei Army be so powerful. What are you doing there, and the minions who ordered the Han Army Banner to press all up, if we can't break the Mawei Army, we will all die! ”

After a few more rounds of brutal shooting, the self-proclaimed brave Qing soldiers under the command of Enai finally found that in the contest with the opposite Mawei army, their own side was obviously from below, and in the face of the opponent's dense and accurate shooting, their proud riding and archery kung fu was not anyone's opponent at all.

"Rush up, rush up and fight them hand-to-hand, destroy the rebels!" The battlefield resounded with the roar of One
