Chapter 461: Rocket Might
Gu Zhenhua was dressed in bright and shining armor, and his sturdy body was like a pine and cypress, standing on the hill, which was the commanding height of the entire battlefield, and almost all the scenes could be seen.
Just due west, on the horizon, there was an endless black, which quickly occupied the entire line of sight, and all in front of me was the scene of the crazy impact of the Tartars. Only on the east side along a narrow embankment of the old river, behind them are the soldiers of the Angolan Army.
Gu Zhenhua was as immobile as a mountain, but his palms were already sweating, no matter how strong his confidence was, but in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry charges, he still couldn't help but lift his heart, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was never a victorious general.
"Lord Wang, I believe that the soldiers will win by fire, the Tartars have done so many bad things, God will accept them!" Wu Kaijie gritted his teeth and said.
β¦β¦
Bang bang, bang bang......
Gunshots rang out, and the Tartars who rushed up were killed, blood flowing onto the dry riverbed, and a bewitching red color was converging. Every soldier is mechanically loaded and shot, and the Tartar in front of him is like a target for ordinary practice, killing one and quickly changing to another, never dragging mud and water.
Although the firepower of the Anguo army was fierce and beyond imagination, the number of Tartars was even more amazing, and they approached the river embankment little by little, and both sides could clearly see each other's faces.
"The Tartars are coming, hurry up and start the fuse!"
The observer shouted anxiously, Zhou Xiren clutched the fire fold, his fingers trembling slightly. His father used to be a Han from Liaodong, and their family was in Chongzhen for thirteen years. He was taken away by the Tartars and became a slave. From then on, they ate worse than livestock. There are more cattle and horses, and they have to be beaten almost every day, in Zhou Xiren's words, it is purgatory.
It wasn't until the Tatars entered the customs that he took the opportunity to escape and came to Henan by begging. When he arrived at the conscription point, he fainted from hunger. After waking up, his first words were that I was going to kill the Tartars. How to kill more, kill happily, let me do anything!
Everything in the past is vivid. Zhou Xiren said secretly: "Father, mother, sister, I have avenged you!" β
Mars flashes. A fuse is lit. The bright spot full of hatred disappeared in front of his eyes.
The Tartar cavalry was still surging and charging, and the Tartar who suddenly ran in front only felt that his body had become lighter, and he saw that his companions were under him. It was only a flash of feeling that he was blown apart and turned into a pile of rotten meat.
The mines buried on the river beach exploded one after another, taking several Tartars with them each time. The living Tartars were all shrouded in gunsmoke, and they couldn't see their surroundings clearly. They were dazed and terrified. And the hunt of the Anguo Army has also begun.
Both sides shouted to kill the heavens, and the soldiers could only rely on yelling at each other.
"Grenadiers: Listen. Rush up the river embankment and drop bombs and blow up the Tartars! β
Luo Xiaoyu shouted at the top of his voice, and one hundred and twenty tall and arm-length grenadiers stood in a line, and they rushed up the river embankment with almost the same pace. With the help of inertia, one hundred and twenty grenades flew out in the air and exploded right next to the Tartars, and one after another, more and more Tartars fell under the horses.
"Okay, come again!"
Luo Xiaoyu shouted excitedly, and suddenly a bow and arrow came out, and he only felt a pain in his arm, but he gritted his teeth and threw the grenade!
The grenadiers' lethal effect was amazing, and just in front of the river embankment, the Tartars dropped hundreds of corpses, stacked on top of each other in strange shapes, and the thick smell of blood irritated everyone's nostrils.
"Lord Qiyu Beizi, the warriors can't rush forward!"
Tun Qi's brows furrowed when he heard the report, and suddenly a hideous smile appeared on his face.
"Pass my orders, bring those bright dogs up, and let them be targets!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, the Tartars on the battlefield retreated, although the battle was not long, but the fierce Cheng dΓΉ was unprecedented, and the resoluteness of the Tartars' charge made those recruits couldn't help but be frightened.
"Look, the Tartars have sent out infantry!"
Guo Yunlong held the binoculars and looked over, and sure enough, a large number of figures appeared on the Tartars' position, and they rushed towards this side!
"Something is wrong, how can these soldiers have men and women!"
Guo Yunlong muttered, and suddenly a lightning bolt struck his head.
"Despicable Tartars, all deserve to die!"
Driven by the Hermes-Epitek and followed by the Tatars, this tactic had been used for hundreds of years, and it had been tried and tested repeatedly, and if the defenders could not bear it, they would break through. If the defenders act decisively and kill these Han people, they will have nothing to lose, but will dampen their morale, and no matter how they are calculated, they will not lose money.
It's just that this time the Tartars used too many people, and they captured tens of thousands of people along the way, and these people became cannon fodder in their hands.
The old and weak, women and children, supported each other, and ran towards the Anguo Army step by step.
"Official, don't kill us, ours are all Han Chinese."
"Everyone is an ancestor, raise your noble hand and save us!"
They cried and shouted, but the Tartar behind them laughed wildly, waved the weapon in his hand, and landed on the hesitant man without hesitation.
These people are getting closer and closer, Guo Yunlong frowned, and hurriedly ordered: "Sue the brothers, kill, don't be polite, no matter who it is, as long as you stand on the opposite side, it is our enemy!" β
When the shots rang out, some of the soldiers had good intentions, and they couldn't help but raise their guns, unwilling to hurt these innocent people.
"Get out of the way, don't lose your life!"
Suddenly, in the midst of the ranks of these refugees, a guy suddenly took out a grenade from his arms and threw it at the position of the Angolan army.
The two sides were only forty paces, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and the two young soldiers closed their eyes forever.
"Rush!"
The guy who succeeded pulled out the short knife from behind his waist, shouted, and rushed forward. Behind him, hundreds of "refugees" took out their weapons, all of them pretending to be Tartars, in order to use compassion to achieve the purpose of sneak attack.
The Anguo army was caught off guard, and more than a dozen guys rushed across the river embankment, and the two sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight.
Angry soldiers raised their bayonets and stabbed unceremoniously at these shameless fellows, screaming and fighting, and the corpses fell one after another, their chests pierced into a sieve.
"Kill!"
The Tartars took advantage of the rush of the Anguo army to rush up, and the cavalry rushed up on the refugees, and the battlefield was full of the sound of crying fathers and mothers.
The biggest advantage of the Angolan army is firepower, but once the Tartars rush up, the two sides are short-handed, and the infantry will definitely suffer. Zhou Yingjie could see it clearly, and he gritted his teeth.
"I didn't want to use it so early, but since the Tartars are looking for death, let you see the power of the Anguo Army!"
"Rocketeer, forward!"
Of course, this rocket soldier is not playing with missiles, all they have is the rocket improved by the Divine Fire Crow. As we all know, China has used rockets since the Song Dynasty, and this weapon was transmitted to Western Europe through India, and the British Congreve rocket was the earliest application.
Gu Zhenhua has already improved the Shenhuo Flying Crow, and according to the Shenhuo Flying Crow, skilled craftsmen have also developed a new type of rocket, which is placed on top of the four-wheeled vehicle, and there is a balance guide rod of about one meter in the middle of the car. Placing the rocket in the groove and firing it can ensure a certain accuracy.
Of course, this kind of rocket cannot be compared with artillery, but it is not limited by caliber, and the rate of fire is fast and the power is amazing.
Zhou Yingjie gave an order, and two soldiers rushed up quickly with a small cart, they had already loaded the rocket, pushed it to the front of the formation, and looked at the direction of the Tartar cavalry.
"Ignition!"
Hundreds of rockets were ignited in an instant, and these iron bumps roared and smashed into the rushing Tartars.
A rocket with a charge almost ten times larger than a grenade explodes in the crowd with predictable power. And what's even worse is that as long as these rockets have a general direction, whoever falls on them will be unlucky.
The rocket landed and exploded, the Tartar man flipped on his back, killed and wounded, and a raging fire burned, and the flames jumped to the feet of the Tartar in an instant, and a huge sea of fire made the Tartar heart tremble. The war horse under the crotch was also frightened and panicked, carrying the rider around. even rushed back to their positions, causing a big mess of formation and killing each other!
"Well hit, keep shooting for me!"
The rocketeers fired two more rounds of fueled rockets in succession, forming a continuous sea of fire in front of the position, and the Tartars were completely blocked out. Those who didn't have time to escape became prey, they cried and screamed, and they were wiped out one by one by the Anguo army! (To be continued......)
