Chapter 621: The Vine Armor is Destroyed
Although the bullet seemed faster than the arrow, the indestructible rattan armor was still not pierced by the bullet, and the bullet was deeply embedded in the crevices of the rattan armor, but it could not cause substantial damage to the brute soldiers behind the rattan armor. After being shot, the vine armor soldiers were all slightly relieved, it seems that the new weapons of the Han army are no more than Erer, but this is just a flash of thought in the minds of the vine armor soldiers, because in the next second, their destruction will come.
The original black projectile is a dark red color at this moment, this color is the effect of the projectile heating after the gunpowder in the musket deflagrates, when the projectile flies out of the muzzle, it is almost a scorching fireball, because it is only a few dozen steps away, after hitting the target, although the temperature of the projectile drops slightly, it is enough to ignite the rattan armor that has been soaked in oil and completely dried.
Flames rose from the chest of a soldier who had been shot, but it was only the blink of an eye, the whole body of this vine soldier was surrounded by flames, there was nothing more flammable than an oil-soaked rattan, the rattan soldier rolled on the ground in the raging flames, let out a desperate scream, but this qiē was a kind of futility, and soon he was silent and motionless, and the proud invulnerable vine armor became a fire cage that buried him at this moment.
The soldiers of the musket battalion used a three-stage firing method to compensate for the time wasted in reloading gunpowder, and all the musketeers were divided into three groups, one group to fire, one group to stand by in the back, and another group to reload gunpowder and projectiles. After the first group finished firing, they retreated and continued to reload the gunpowder, the second group on standby advanced to the first row for firing, and the third group entered the standby state after completing the gunpowder loading. This cycle ensured that the musket battalion could continuously fire bullets and strike uninterruptedly at the target enemy.
Dark red scorching projectiles shot towards the vine armor soldiers who had no ability to resist, and every vine armor soldier who was hit was burned by the fire without exception, and the desperate vine armor soldiers rolled all over the ground. Helplessly, these oil-soaked rattans could not be extinguished at all, and the greater disaster was that these rattan armor soldiers who were burned by the fire were rolling around, killing many rattan armor soldiers who were not shot, and the raging fire spread from the front to the back, and nearly half of the five or six hundred rattan armor soldiers were buried in the fire.
King Doth was supervising the battle behind, and his eyes were about to fall to the ground. It's just a moment, and the invincible vine armor god soldier has become a fish belly that can be slaughtered, and the ghost knows that the iron pipe that the Han army found from there that can breathe fire is really terrifying. These rattan armor soldiers were the treasures of King Doth, and seeing them die in the flames, King Doth was heartbroken, and urgently ordered the remaining vine armor soldiers to retreat immediately and escape from the range of the musket.
"Chase!" Liu Ze gave the second order, and the musketeers immediately jumped out of position. Pursuing the rattan armor soldiers who fled in a hurry, the bullets in the muzzle of the guns did not become sluggish because of the rapid movement, and the crisscrossing firepower network still covered the entire position, and the vine armor soldiers wanted to escape, but there was no way! The speed of a bullet can be a hundred times faster than the speed of a human run.
The last of the vine armor soldiers fell in the flames, and King Doth did not escape the stray bullet, his fat head pierced by a projectile. However, he was lucky enough to be able to keep a whole corpse. The fate of the more than 500 rattan armor soldiers was much more miserable, all of them were burned alive to the appearance of charcoal, and they were unrecognizable.
The annihilation of the vine armor soldiers and the violent death of King Duosi made Meng Shu, who was sweeping behind him, feel cold in his heart, and his intestines were blue in an instant, and he should not have chosen to be the enemy of Liu Ze. The most elite vine armor soldiers in the whole south were wiped out, and the most brutal King Duosi was ambushed on the spot, and Meng was cold, and the fate of King Duosi must be his end.
At the same time as the Musket Battalion won a complete victory, Zhao Yun and the others had already detoured back to the flank of Sanjiang City on Liu Ze's orders. Rushed to cross the Gannan River and Xicheng Water, and launched a surprise attack on Sanjiang City. As soon as King Duosi died, the barbarian soldiers of Sanjiang City were leaderless, and they were already in a mess, Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to attack Sanjiang City and wantonly covered up.
Zhu Rong saw that the shape was not good, and hurriedly persuaded Meng Shudao: "King, Sanjiang City is over, let's run away!" ”
Meng Shu was disheartened at the moment, Dianchi was lost, he lost almost all his troops, Sanjiang City fell, and his last hope was extinguished. Thinking of this, Meng Huo roared loudly and shouted at the few remaining guards around him: "Sons, I only have heroes who died in battle, and there is no bending of the knee, follow me and fight with Liu Ze!" Meng Shu said, brandished a big knife, did not retreat, but advanced, and galloped towards the direction of the Jingjun camp.
The guards were also infected by Meng Shu's spirit of seeing death as home, and they rode horses to follow.
Originally, the musket battalion had collected troops and returned to the camp, but unexpectedly, a group of men and horses rushed to kill, hurriedly raised their guns to shoot, Liu Ze saw from a distance that Meng was killed, so he ordered the musket battalion not to shoot, and ordered Chen Zhi to lead the troops to surround Meng Huotuan.
There weren't many people and horses in Meng Huo, Chen Zhi led the army forward, surrounded Meng Huo in the core, Chen Zhi raised his gun and shouted: "Meng Huo, don't get off the horse and surrender, when will you wait?" ”
Meng Huo's eyes were red, holding the rope in one hand, holding the scimitar in the other, he slashed hard, and cut down a warrior of the Jing army under the horse, he was shirtless, and the muscles on his arms jumped up and down, although he was under siege, he was also fearless, and shouted: "If I want Meng Huo to surrender, it is a pipe dream, even if the king dies here, thousands of barbarians, you don't want to kill them all!" ”
Chen Zhi was about to step forward to capture Meng Shu, Liu Ze came over, signaled Chen Zhi to retreat, and said with a smile: "King Meng is really a hero, heroic, admirable." ”
Meng Shu looked at Liu Ze directly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
Liu Ze said indifferently: "Under Liu Ze." ”
Meng Shu was shocked, he couldn't imagine that the person in front of him was Liu Ze, the enemy who killed his family, if in the past, Meng Shu had to fight to the death, and he would have to fight to the death with Liu Ze, but at this time, although Liu Ze stood indifferently, he was not angry and mighty, and there was a sacrosanct and inviolable spirit between them, Meng Shu's momentum was a little shorter in an instant, and he just muttered distractedly: "You are Liu Ze, King Jing?" ”
Liu Ze said: "King Meng, I didn't intend to offend the king's dignity when I came here, but I just went north to Bashu, and Nanzhong was the only place, so I could only make this strategy to seek a way from the king." It's a pity that the king of Fuxu is not allowed to salute first and then soldier, and if he is offended, he also invites King Meng Haihan. If King Meng is willing to make friends with him, he will stop the sword soldiers and talk about the wine? ”
Meng Xu, who had already made up his mind to die, was stunned when he heard Liu Ze's words, Liu Ze actually wanted to make peace with him, is this possible? Now Meng Shu has nothing, and even he feels that he has no qualifications to negotiate with Liu Ze again, could it be that Liu Ze is playing with him? But from Liu Ze's eyes, Meng Shu read that he was sincere, but he could put down his sword and drink and talk to the enemy who killed his wife and clan, but Meng Shu couldn't do it anyway.
Meng Shu shook his head stubbornly and said: "You kill my wife, slaughter my people, Meng Shu and you don't share the sky!" The head of the Nanban man can be broken, the blood can be shed, and it is impossible to sit side by side with the enemy! Either be a friend for a lifetime or an enemy for a lifetime, even if I die under your sword today, I will never be your friend! ”
Liu Ze smiled, it seems that this Meng Shu also has a strong and arrogant backbone, and he admits that he is dead, and it is difficult for him to turn back with the knife in his neck. Liu Ze's intention is in the Central Plains, it is impossible to put a lot of energy on the wild land of Nanzhong, attacking Nanzhong is just to open up the road to Bashu, killing Meng Shu is meaningless, and there may not be another Meng Shu in the southwest barbarians in the future, so for the policy of Nanzhong, Liu Ze has always been based on peace.
"Bring people in." To deal with the stubborn Meng Shu, Liu Ze still has his own killer weapon. (To be continued......)
