Chapter 188: It's a Massacre

With the sound of a tall swan horn, it was a high roar of officers.

"Fire!"

After the sharp whistle, hundreds of artillery pieces rang out in unison on the artillery position on the left side and the baggage battalion position on the right, bursts of gunpowder smoke rose and spread, the muzzle of orange flames sprayed, and pieces of lead bullet iron sand blasted out of the gun chamber, violently covering the bandits that entered the firing range.

The thieves who were charging head-on behind the shields and shield carts were knocked to the ground by heavy artillery fire before they could react. Countless screams rang out, and the originally dense formation suddenly thinned out a lot.

Although the bandits had seen the power of the official artillery fire in the battle of the muddy ditch, they still had no long memory at this time. In other words, even if they know that the artillery fire of the officers and soldiers is strong, they do not know how to deal with it. When the breakthrough charge was launched, it was still densely arranged.

The weather is fine tonight, but the stars are scarce but there is no rain. The artillery arrays on both sides, more than a thousand paces apart, formed a crossfire, which could basically cover all the bandits who were close to the front of the official army.

They were already within range of artillery fire on both sides before they could reach the battle formations with their poor bows and arrows.

It was still so violent that the bandits collapsed almost instantly.

Cao Cao and Luo Rucai waved their hands again and again, and quickly mobilized two more thief armies, one left and one right, rushing towards the artillery positions on both sides. The thieves are numerous and can attack on three sides at the same time.

Qin Liangyu looked at the fierce artillery fire, and his face couldn't help but change color slightly.

I saw the thieves attacking the artillery on both sides. She took the initiative to speak to Mei Zhihuan, "Let my white pole soldiers intercept them." ”

"No, you don't." Mei Zhihuan shook his head, "Just hand over the two sides to Liu Jun." With the nine-headed bird holding the wings, we can sit back and relax, and the white pole soldiers just need to help me sit in front of the front and defend this side. ”

In front of the artillery arrays on both sides, there were Liu Jun's gunners.

"Shoot!"

On the high flagpole behind Liu Jun on the hillside, a light command for gun-gun shooting was raised. The commanders of the fire teams saw the order from a distance and gave the shooting orders to the team members one after another.

The musketeers stood behind the guns in rows. Shoot with a gun in a standing position as ordered. It was dark, but there were a lot of fires underneath, so they didn't need to aim at the enemy. All you need to do is fire a volley with your teammates at the bandits who are within range.

The first row of gunners shot through, the second row of gunners picked up, and then the third row.

Due to the use of custom-packed paper bullets, as well as an improved Wyvern gun. Many reloading steps are saved. Therefore, after the three-stage shooting, the fire salvo of the Hydra hardly paused, and the interval between rounds of firing was extremely short.

Rushing and rushing, as long as they withstand the first few rounds of fire, they can enter the firearms positions of the officers and soldiers, and then these officers and soldiers can only be slaughtered by them. The bandit leaders in the back kept shouting loudly to boost morale, or to deceive the bandits.

"There were only three firearms in the army. Rush, rush up. Close to the close-quarters combat, the guns of the officers and soldiers are not as good as the burning sticks! ”

"Hmph, stupid, the firearms unit of the Hydra, how can it be as simple as you imagined!" Liu Jun stood in the artillery array, heard these shouts from a distance, and couldn't help sneering. Three shots, you're talking about a three-eyed gun. With the tactical battle formation of the nine-headed bird, let alone three shots, you may not be able to rush over even thirty rounds.

Unless you are one of those heavy horsemen outside the pass, it is possible to rush to the front of the formation with a salvo.

Now that he is only facing a group of bandits, Liu Jun has no need to worry about it.

The nine-headed bird not only has firearms, but also artillery, not to mention the tiger squat and exterminating cannons, just those Franc machines of the nine-headed birds, the bandits who can fight are desperate and collapsed, each Franc machine is equipped with nine guns, which can make the Franc function continuously open artillery, plus a group of several guns to shoot in sections, and truly achieve uninterrupted shooting.

And the hundreds of small leads per cannon made the range of the nine-headed bird's artillery fire greatly reduced, but each shot was a cover-like attack.

Liu Jun spent a huge price and equipped these artillery, how could a group of bandits be able to break through it casually by relying on crowd tactics?

The drums of war are beating and the trumpets are sounding. The gunners skillfully loaded and fired, and pieces of lead bullets and iron sand were sprayed out, and the hundred-step slope in front of the artillery array was completely a death zone. The large lead can easily smash those shields, and the small iron sand is even denser so that people can't slip through the net.

Whether it is artillery or firearms, the speed at which officers and soldiers load and fire is extremely fast. It's faster than the bandits imagined, and it's so fast that they collapse.

The courage that the bandits had managed to muster up lasted less than half an hour, and the ground collapsed before the continuous artillery fire, and the ice melted. Leaving the corpses on the ground, they finally turned and retreated.

The thieves attacking the artillery on both flanks retreated, but they could not immediately escape the bombardment of the artillery fire of the officers and men.

Several red-clothed cannons that had not moved all this time made a loud roar, and the red-clothed cannons of more than 3,000 catties could bombard a thousand steps away with one shot.

Two Hongyi cannons roared at the same time, a huge whistling sound resounded through the sky, one cannonball missed the mountain on the left, and the other shell happened to fall into the old camp behind the bandits. The huge cannonball caused hundreds of casualties at once, especially the power of hitting the old camp from a distance of thousands of steps, which made the families of the bandits collapse in horror.

Liu Jun, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror, also saw the results of these two cannons, and missed one and hit one.

"It was a beautiful fight, and it went directly to the old camp of the bandits."

The gunner who was praised by Liu Jun was a little red-skinned, embarrassed, but he was thinking in his heart, just now my cannon was obviously aimed at the bandits' Chinese army, but it actually hit the back of the rear army with one shot, and hit the old camp of thieves.

Half a day later, the re-cleaned and loaded Hongyi cannon opened fire again, and at the same time, eight thousand pounds of red-coated cannons also fired, this time only three of the ten cannons hit the enemy's formation, but the power was still extraordinary. Especially this kind of terrifying intimidation that can be bombarded into the formation from a distance of hundreds of steps, or even a mile or two, really makes the bandits collapse, and they are completely hung and beaten, and they can't even see this cannon.

The large and small artillery on both sides of the artillery array was once again powerful, and this time they turned their guns to the bandits attacking the front, and with the artillery and musketeers arranged in the front, it was difficult for the bandits on the front to advance an inch.

Qin Liangyu stood in front of the formation, looking at the stone pillar soldiers who were carrying a white-pole gun and grinding their fists and eager to try, but after waiting for a long time, they couldn't wait for a bandit to rush closer.

"This is nothing short of a one-sided massacre!" Qin Liangyu sighed.

As the world's elite white pole soldiers, they can only stand there and watch, and they don't even have a chance to do it.

The bandits retreated, and no one could withstand this terrible blow, but they couldn't do it just by being beaten.

"Let the cavalry attack, it's time for them to move their bodies, don't just watch the show." Mei Zhihuan watched this one-sided battle with satisfaction, but he didn't plan to let the bandits retreat easily.

The cavalrymen, who had received the order, finally turned on their horses, and they rode out from behind the chariot formation on the right, then slowly accelerated, and finally rushed towards the retreating thieves with a shout.

The cavalrymen brandished their swords and horses, and with the speed of their horses, they quickly approached the thieves, and then slashed them down with their swords, and rushed through quickly. More than 2,000 cavalry repeatedly rushed behind the retreating bandits, and the originally defeated thieves were scattered.

"Alright, take the cavalry back." Mei Zhihuan saw that the thieves had run out of the range of artillery fire, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to be transferred back. The cavalry attack was to demoralize the bandits, but it was not up to them to defeat tens of thousands of bandits.

But with the buffer of the cavalry, the Jiaozhi infantry, which had been pressed backwards, finally regained their footing outside the thin fenced post station. It's just that everyone has blue faces and white lips, and they are frightened, looking at Song Jun opposite with fearful eyes. In one engagement, the sharpness of the Song army was vividly displayed.

"The thieves have collapsed, and they will not come again to die." Qin Liangyu said slowly.

"That's fine, we will directly trap the bandits, force them to surrender, and win without a fight." Mei Zhihuan said with a smile.

A white flag was extremely conspicuous, and a thief rode to the front of the battle with a white flag.

He brought a request from Cao Cao and others, who again asked for surrender.

This time, he didn't come alone, there was a group of bandits and several carriages behind him.

The carriage was picked up by the officers and drove back to the camp.

Liu Jun was summoned by Mei Zhihuan to the Chinese army formation, and as soon as he arrived, he saw dozens of boxes on the ground. The chests were opened, and they were all yellow and white, full of gold and silver, and many jewels and jade.

"It's worth almost 100,000 taels of silver, and it seems that the bandits are also in a hurry." Liu Jun said with a smile.

Mei Zhihuan nodded and said, "The thieves want to rely on the gold bank to bribe the road, but they are looking for the wrong person." I guess when we refuse, they'll flee north. ”

"Then we'll chase it." Liu Jun said.

The messenger sent out brought back Mei Zhihuan's reply, and the conditions were still the same as before, accepting surrender, but he had to put down his weapons and go to the front of the battle one by one to surrender.

"Is that all there is to it?" Cao Cao was unwilling, but he was helpless. They thought they would be able to rush out, but there was no hope at all. If you continue to spend it here, Yang Sichang will definitely get it, and when the time comes, there will be a block on both sides, and none of them will want to run.

"Report, there is a change in Dachang City." A scout horse galloped in and brought the latest news from Dachang City.

"The Qin army suddenly mutinied, snatched the friendly army's food and horses and mules and returned to Shaanxi, the Yu army went to chase back, Yang Sichang was temporarily stationed in Dachang City, but the army was running out of grain and grass, and was collecting grain everywhere." After Cao Cao and Luo Rucai saw the military situation, they suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"There is no way to be endless, there is no road to heaven and no one!"

The sudden mutiny of the Qin army and the departure of the Yu army made there not many officers and soldiers in Dachang City, and there were about 20,000 people, and now there are about 20,000 people, and they will run out of food.

I thought I was going to be trapped here, but unexpectedly, God suddenly gave him another way to live. (To be continued......)
