Chapter 125: The Great Moth That Destroys Body and Mind
[Thanks; Reward with sword energy! 】
The officers were equipped with telescopes, and the sight made everyone angry.
This is the first time Zhou Huchen has experienced such a tragic thing, and Liu Zongmin's behavior also made him understand that without ferocious means, a person would not be able to rise in this beacon era. Today, Liu Zongmin can be regarded as a good lesson to Zhou Huchen, his methods and ruthlessness are just pediatrics, if you want to be fierce, you must be fierce without scruples, and only real fierceness can achieve your goal.
The driven people continued to advance, albeit slowly, but the results were no longer to be seen. Zhou Huchen and these generals couldn't bear to look at it, everyone knew the consequences of the explosion of the mine in the crowd, and now it was necessary to wait, waiting for Liu Zongmin to be viciously dealt a heavy blow.
The sound of explosions kept coming, and Zhou Huchen closed his eyes and lowered his head
After all, the mines are limited, and in the grief and indignation of Zhou Huchen and countless soldiers, the sound of explosions finally stopped.
Zhou Huchen gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Wu Yunguan, the commander of the artillery battalion, listens to the order, the artillery is lined up, the longest-distance shelling, prepare!" ”
"Order!" Wu Yunguan agreed viciously, and then turned around to arrange the artillery line.
The artillery battalion now has not many artillery pieces - only about 500, and it is still being transported in Xiangshang in the direction of Datong Province.
Lined up, with a lower elevation angle, behind each small gun were three people, and a couple of wooden boxes.
From a distance, the five hundred small guns are actually very inconspicuous.
Behind this artillery line was a neatly organized shield town, followed by the musketeers, of course.
In Zhou Huchen's field of vision, the soldiers of the Dashun Army had already crossed the minefield with the sound of drums, and as for the people who survived, it seemed that they had fled.
"Cavalry ready, protect the wings!"
There were too many enemies coming up, Zhou Huchen looked at the people all over the mountains, as if he was not using the conventional tentative tactics, he wondered if this Liu Zongmin was going to directly group fight. Now the cavalry had to show their bravery, the wings were too wide, and in order to prevent being surrounded by the enemy, the cavalry had to sell their strength.
Liu Zongmin was far away in the rear, this time, he was indeed preparing to fight in groups, he wanted to use the tactics of the sea of people to overwhelm the enemy in one fell swoop.
Liu Zongmin was still a little jealous of Zhou Yuji, although he didn't see the more than 10,000 cavalry that Hao Shaoqi said, but this unknown left a shadow in his heart. How powerful 10,000 cavalry is, especially a person like Zhou Yuji, Liu Zongmin knows very well that he can't fight with him, and the possibility of defeat is very high.
"**Yes! Sure enough, it was a group fight! The enemy was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Huchen couldn't help but scold.
For Zhou Huchen, this is the most reluctant way to fight, because there are too many enemies, several times more than his own. Once the enemy swarms up, you only have a chance to parry, and if you don't control the army well, you may be scattered, although the probability is not large, but it is definitely not the most ideal way to fight.
The maximum firing distance of the mortar is about one and a half miles, while the firing distance of the new flintlock musket is about 150 paces, and if the enemy attacks with an army of tens of thousands of people, Zhou Huchen estimates that the enemy army will be directly disabled. But the enemy army attacking in front of him is probably more than 100,000, even if there is a grenade as a sharp weapon as support, but Zhou Huchen is still worried that he will enter a white-knives battle. To put it more thoroughly, Zhou Huchen was unwilling to lose his soldiers.
The rangefinder on the enemy's tower kept reporting the enemy's distance, and now, the entire Zhou Huchen's military formation was completely silent except for the sound of the rangefinder constantly reporting. Nervousness is inevitable, after all, it is the first time that most soldiers have engaged in actual combat, not to mention, the number of enemies is indeed too much.
"The enemy army is five hundred paces away~~"
The rangefinder's voice was already slightly hoarse, because he knew that this distance was already within the range of the artillery.
In the sound of drums, the scene of more than 100,000 people swarming up was terrifying, and everyone saw nothing but enemies or enemies, and by looking at their expressions, the soldiers were obviously more nervous.
Zhou Huchen did not give the order, because now is not the most ideal time, and the power of the artillery requires the cannonballs to fall in the crowd.
"Four hundred and fifty steps~~"
With the sound of the rangefinder's return, the drums rushed and the enemy began to rapid, followed by a loud shout that resounded across the battlefield.
Zhou Huchen raised his right arm and waved it down fiercely.
Wu Yunguan had already raised the war knife high, and at the same time as the war knife was slashed down, Wu Yunguan's mouth also shouted, but unfortunately, no one could hear it, and the enemy's drum noise was too loud.
The gunners have formed a habit that as soon as the officer's order is issued, the bombardier behind will hand over the shell, and the shell will be handed to the meaning: it is ready to fire.
The sound of the shells firing was so loud that it far drowned out the noise of the enemy's drumming. The first cannon shot was a little amazing, the arc of the long shell was not too large, and the simultaneous discharge of hundreds of shells was very pleasing to the eye, as if it were countless oversized moths, which were neatly pounced forward.
With the trajectory of the falling shells, the soldiers of the Dashun Army in front of them obviously froze, and then, the shells finally fell.
The fall and the firing are almost as neat, and everyone knows the artillery, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army understand that it depends on luck now, and they all know that it will be miserable to be hit by a projectile. But how to deal with artillery, everyone knows that it is to run quickly, continue to run forward, rush to the enemy's close front, and fight in close quarters.
Some things tend to be an accident, like today.
The soldiers of the Dashun Army in front were still desperately rushing forward, and behind them, an accident happened.
The sound of this unexpected explosion was also very consistent, and it really mattered to the soldiers of the Dashun Army who was lucky or bad. Just within ten steps of a blast point, you will be tragic. The only difference is whether they are injured or simply stop wasting food, in fact, the injured are the most tragic because they have to scream for a long, long time.
In the midst of the roaring explosion, hundreds of moths flew into the sky again, this time not as neatly as the first.
Liu Zongmin's tactics and ideas are undoubtedly correct, but unfortunately, his soldiers belong to that standard rabble, and it has nothing to do with the quality of tactical use.
The facts show that Zhou Huchen thinks too highly of them.
The sound of the big moths and explosions that kept coming was undoubtedly very devastating to people's bodies and minds, and in the flying of stumps and broken arms, the soldiers of the Dashun army were in chaos, to be precise, the front team was the first to be in chaos. The soldiers at the front turned around and ran back, while the soldiers behind the explosion stopped in shock, and the soldiers behind them were still rushing forward. As a result, this menacing army was completely in disarray.
No matter how chaotic the soldiers of the Dashun Army are, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, the big moth is still falling.
The consequence of the crowding of hundreds of thousands of people was a trampling, and screams and shouts were disguised in the sound of explosions
No one knew how many shots it had taken, and after pushing a little further, after nearly half an hour, the gunners received the order, and the fearful shelling finally stopped
