Chapter 454 Eat Cake

The two armies clashed together.

Preemptively, then preemptively.

On the battlefield, it has always been important to strike first, interrupt the opponent's combat rhythm, let the opponent fall into panic, and then destroy the enemy.

But at this moment, Yue Fei did the opposite!

Strike backwards!

Regardless of the long-distance shooting of the Jin army, it is pressed up like this, without shield protection, without musket counterattack, without artillery to return fire, just like this.

As if sent to death, he took the initiative to step forward and was shot by the Jin army!

This seems to be a voluntary suicide, but in fact, the risk is very small.

On the battlefield, there are very few people who actually die from arrow wounds, and most of them are due to the poor quality of the armor, resulting in casualties among soldiers. When a soldier wears excellent armor, as long as he doesn't hit the vital point, he can't die at all. Many generals were hit by seven or eight arrows, which seemed to be scarred, but in fact the injuries were not serious, just because the armor was of good quality; And many small soldiers, because of the poor quality of their armor, were shot with an arrow, and their lives were lost!

Moreover, the effective killing distance of the bow and arrow is within 60 paces, and shooting at a distance of 100 paces is the so-called crossbow of the bow and arrow, and the lethality is limited.

When the distance between the two sides is relatively long, the lethality of the Jin army's bows and arrows is limited, and there is little significance in counterattacking at this time, so you can only fight again when you get closer!

It's just that he didn't expect that Yue Fei just wanted to get closer and fight again, but he scared Jin Jun.

Those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are afraid of not dying!

When 5,000 soldiers become deadly, it is enough to frighten tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, it may only be a moment, but it is enough to determine the success or failure of the battle!

Sure enough, the Jin army panicked. gave Yue Fei a chance to destroy the Jin Army!

Three-stage shooting, like raindrops. pounced on the Jin army.

Musket shots, showing great power!

This is the first time that the Musketeers have stepped onto the battlefield and exploded with great destructive power!

Sixty paces is exactly the best distance for musket shooting, and the most lethal is the most powerful. Buckshot shot out, and the armor looked like papier-mâché.

Lead is relatively soft and tends to release all the kinetic energy after hitting the human body. Specifically, the warhead is seriously deformed and even ruptured, resulting in a horn-shaped cavity in human tissue, and the wound area is hundreds of times the cross-sectional area of the projectile. Add to this the damage caused by the instantaneous tremendous pressure on the body's circulatory system...... It is unimaginable that the suffering of the wounded does not stop there, and if the fragments of the projectile are not all removed from the wound, then lead poisoning can be caused. Even if there are fewer fragments by chance. Taken out surgically, the projectile will bring some pieces of clothing into the wound after being shot into the human body, causing infection...... Even after a very good operation like Watson, he still contracted typhoid fever...... The soldiers at that time were really miserable. A direct shot of lead at a distance of 100 meters will kill - 90% of the head, - 20% of the limbs, all the rest will be amputated, and the left chest (near the heart) - 100% will die. Right chest - 70% death, abdomen - 70% death.

Therefore. Since buckshot is a very disgusting and threatening thing, both in terms of destructiveness, lethality and humanitarian considerations, it can be said that it is almost on par with the notorious bacteriological weapons. In the Hague International Convention, the use of lead bullet was expressly prohibited.

It's a pity that in this era, there are no such regulations, and only pay attention to killing efficiency, not humanity.

A large number of soldiers of the Jin Army were knocked to the ground, and it seemed that they could not survive.

There was no shouting of killing, just gasping for breath, and the musketeers stepped forward and shot at the Jin army.

"Shieldbearer block me!"

Wan Yanliang shouted, and one by one shield players appeared, blocking the front of the army. These shields were more than half a man tall and made of fine iron, with an outer layer made of bamboo and covered with wet cowhide, making them extremely defensive. The musket was fired at it, making a crisp sound, and most of the lead bullets stayed on it, not penetrating.

The muskets of this era are of poor quality, have poor piercing ability, and break some inferior versions of armor, and maybe, but when encountering plate armor, they may take a break, and when they encounter some shields with strong defense, they may also be helpless. Compared with bows and arrows, the muskets of this era have too many disadvantages, the rate of fire is not as good as that of bows and arrows, and the range is not as good as that of bows and arrows......

"Bronze cannon!"

Yue Fei ordered.

At this time, the bronze cannon stepped forward, loaded with gunpowder, added projectiles, and boomed, and the cannon was powerful.

As if thunder, the huge projectile turned into a meteor and smashed towards the Jin army.

For field battles, the bronze cannon weighs no more than fifty catties, can be dragged by war horses, and has a relatively short firing range, but only about 100 paces. But the victory lies in lightness, the victory lies in the fierce attack, the shield is smashed, and it is smashed on the body of a Jin sergeant, and the bone is immediately broken, and the death is warped.

The projectile continued to move forward, hitting another Jin soldier, rolling forward quickly, and only stopped after hitting a few.

Originally, the tight shield array seemed to have been gnawed by a dog, and it became fragmented, and the Jin army panicked.

When it comes to lethality, the bronze cannon is not as good as the musket, but when the bronze cannon sounds, the momentum is too amazing, and the deterrent power of the Jin army is too great. Suddenly, some Jin soldiers were scurrying around, as if they had lost their souls.

"Don't mess around!" Wan Yan Liang shouted continuously, but the panic was still there, and under the atmosphere, he waved his knife and slashed, and the two soldiers who were slashing and killing in a row stopped the trend of rout.

It's just that the momentary panic on the battlefield is enough to make a catastrophe go from nowhere.

"Spear Strike"

"Cavalry attack!"

Yue Fei gave the order, and suddenly the originally tight formation was divided, and the cavalry dispatched from both flanks, outflanking and interspersing to the left and right, and the spearman held a three-zhang long spear and stabbed forward. The spear was too long for the Jin army to reach; The spear was too dense to find a place to dodge.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The spear was stabbed, and the blood holes were pierced in the bodies of the Jin army, and it seemed that they would not survive.

The spearmen marched in a neat pace, moving forward slowly, lest they depart from the rhythm, and stabbed and retracted, simple and direct, pushing horizontally, like a flash flood, unstoppable.

Its Xu is like a forest, and it moves like thunder!

Like a meat grinder, it kept moving forward, relying on a tight formation, relying on the distance of a spear, killing the Jin army.

"Cavalry charge me!"

Wan Yan roared with red eyes.

There is no invincible class of troops in the world, the spear formation is very powerful, and the melee is invincible, but as long as the cavalry does not care about the impact of casualties, it can still break the spear formation.

Just looking around, the cavalry of the Jin Army was also a little disdainful, and they were being surrounded and suppressed by the Red Army at this time.

At this time, either the cavalry of the red-clothed army shot with short muskets, or stabbed with spears, or slashed with sabers, and the cavalry of the Jin army was like an angry little daughter-in-law, constantly retreating backwards, and people kept falling off their horses, and the range of the military formation became smaller and smaller.

At this time, the cavalry was too busy to take care of themselves, where was the leisure to storm the spear array!

"The archer fired, breaking his spear array!"

Wan Yanliang roared.

The spear array is powerful, but the archers can also break the spear array!

It's a pity that after shooting more than a dozen arrows in a row, the archers are always exhausted and unable to shoot. At this time, the Song army musketeers could calmly reload and shoot the Jin army from the flank!

Looking at it from a distance, the Jin Army's large array had already been torn apart, like a cake, cut into several pieces, while the Red-clothed Army was calmly divided, surrounded and annihilated, tasting the fruits of victory. (To be continued......)
