023 Katyusha

The main battle weapon of the Qing State, the chain horse, five Yan Yunjian horses wearing chain armor are connected into a whole with iron chains, the horse head is equipped with sharp ramming horns, and a total of six forward spears are tied between the horses, using the huge impact of the horses to tear through the enemy's defense line, the spears tied to the horses can pick up the enemy, and the horse body can knock the enemy, and the extended scimitar in the hands of the heavily armored knights is not vegetarian, but specializes in drinking blood, and the knights of the chain horses are the same as the horses, and they must choose the tall and strong body, and the riding skills are excellent, A Manchurian man with outstanding martial arts.

The knight of the chain horse, whose status is not only higher than the ordinary infantry, but even higher than the ordinary cavalry, is the Praetorian Guard subordinate to the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty, relying on this iron cavalry, defeated the border army of the Ming Dynasty several times in a row, and expanded the border to the south for hundreds of miles.

Being able to be a rider of a chain horse is the dream of every Qing soldier and every young man of the Qing Dynasty.

Such a sharp army is almost invincible.

Although his opponents, the slave army, were determined to die, the innate law of cavalry and infantry could not be violated.

The iron-walled chain of horses crashed into the slave army, and the spears in the hands of the slaves at a forty-five-degree angle were fiercely split by the knight's scimitar before they could pierce the horse's body, and the horse's spear quickly harvested life, and countless slaves were poked and fell to the ground, and then trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves. Countless human heads were easily cut off by the knight's long scimitar, spurting blood into the air.

Only a very few people can face the cavalry charge without breaking down, and such a calm person can only cut the horse's leg at the moment when the iron horse comes, but the horse's leg is not so easy to cut, and if you miss a blow, you can only be trampled to death.

The battle formation was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the complete defeat of the slave army, which was not dominant in numbers, training, weapons, and organization, was expected, and it was difficult to pull the back.

Only Zamu and in the non-stop archery, he rode on the horse and kept turning around to shoot, the feather arrow just shot into the blindfold of the chain horse war horse, the eyes of the whole body iron armor war horse must be exposed to observe the enemy's situation, was the arrow Jebel took advantage of this loophole, he only shot one of the horses in a group of chain horses at a time, so that the whole group of chain horses can not move forward temporarily, the furious injured war horse is not controlled, and the rider is turned upside down, serious can be in a high-speed state with other horses to fall down, The daring slave warrior took the opportunity to go over and slit the throat of the fallen knight, but was also chopped to death by the rear knights who arrived quickly.

Quickly attrition, blood flowed like a river, Liu Ziguang's eyes were red when he saw this tragic scene, and he rushed forward on foot to meet the chain of horses with his bare hands.

In front of him was a group of chain horses, five tall horses in iron armor swooped down like lightning, six sharp spears trembled, and the knight's eyepatch flashed with a ruthless light, and the two scimitars closest to him slashed down at the same time!

Liu Ziguang rose from the ground, so that the two long scimitars split into the air, the war horse also felt that there was no comfortable feeling of stepping on the human body, a little puzzled, did not wait for the knight to come back, Liu Ziguang had already fallen on the horse, each foot stepped on a horse, the knight's vision was not smooth, only felt that there was a big thing around him, turned his face to look, obedient, good handsome light skills, hurriedly waved the knife to cut, but the hand was empty, Liu Ziguang had two more long scimitars in his hands.

"Die!" Liu Ziguang waved two long knives at the same time, cut the two knights wearing heavy armor next to him into two sections, and cut off the two horse heads by the way, and suddenly a group of chain horses fell to the ground, and the cavalry behind couldn't contain the huge inertia, so they had to step on the horses with people, and when the chain horse riders, not only the scenery, but also the consciousness before the tragic death, the knights behind thought.

Liu Ziguang followed the tactics of Zamuhe, only cut one horse, destroyed a group of chain horses, he was light and jumped around on the first line of chain horses, cut off the head of the horse, a large number of chain horses fell to the ground under his blade, because the five horses were connected together, it was difficult to turn over, and some knights were pressed by the horses and could not move. Others, who were not pressed by the horses, were also unable to move because of their heavy armor, and were rushed up by angry slaves and put their knives into their masks for a while, and died tragically in front of the battle.

The chain horses of the rear team were mixed by the front, and some of the ones that did not cooperate well also fell to the ground, forming a chain reaction, and the formation of the iron curtain was actually delayed by one person!

The non-stop knight hung the long scimitar on the victory hook, and drew out the bow and arrow to shoot this guy flying all over the sky, how could an ordinary bow and arrow hurt Liu Ziguang half a point, and the arrows shot all over the sky finally didn't know who they shot, anyway, Liu Ziguang was still ghostly and active in the formation of the chain horses, and kept making groups of chain horses fall to the ground.

The speed of the advance was delayed, and the slaves retreated to the north gate, Anthony and Duncan had just promised to help Liu Ziguang take care of the eldest lady, which would take a few people to add the two young ladies to Xiaolong in the middle. Some of the cowardly slaves had jumped into the moat and swam desperately to the other side, and the fear brought by the chain horses was too shocking.

The baby son became a slave hostage again, Yu Hualong did not dare to order to shoot at the slaves, in order to prevent his son from dying under the chain of horses, he asked his younger brother Yu Huahu: "Huahu, is the steam burned enough?" ”

Yu Huahu, the captain of the city defense team, replied: "Big brother, it has burned enough to be fired." ”

"Good! Ordered to launch a steam crossbow with the target: Qing Nation Chained Horse. ”

"No~!" If you don't strike at the chain of horses, I'm afraid that the morale of the defenders of the city wall will also become a problem.

The city wall was still the same, but the inside of the city wall was busy, and there was a dark chamber under the entire northern city wall, and a long line of bricks suddenly appeared three feet below the mouth, revealing the tips of the crossbow arrows, and a hundred powerful large crossbows were aimed at the chain horses.

This kind of large crossbow, the bowstring is a very tough steel wire, manpower can not pull at all, even if the winch is used is very slow, the crossbow arrow is made of tough old bamboo in the south, the front is a long iron spearhead, the whole arrow is five feet long, the front of a small opening, can whistle in the wind, there are four simple tail fins behind, to ensure the stability and range of the flight. The bowstring is wound with steam, and a dozen or so stout boilermen wear their upper bodies, quickly throwing coal into the blazing fire, the fire boils the water in the furnace, producing high-temperature and high-pressure steam, pushing the piston and crankshaft, pulling the bowstring backwards, and after hanging the hook, the excess steam is discharged, and the pushrod of the winding rod moves in the opposite direction to push another group of steam repeaters to be wound. When the bowstring hook is released, the strongly rebounding wire string pushes the javelin in the arrow groove forward rapidly, and shoots out in the direction of the crossbow's head.

The crossbow head can swing up and down one hundred degrees from side to side, and every ten large crossbows can be grouped in groups, and can be aimed at the direction where the enemy gathers with the power of the crossbowman's rocker arm.

Now the crossbowmen were aiming in the direction of the chaotic chain of horses, the javelins with tail fins had more than twice the range of ordinary bows and arrows, and a hundred javelins fired from a hundred steam repeaters flew in mid-air, and the air blew in from the whistle, making a sharp whistle, and the first javelins had not yet landed, and the second and third groups flew out.

The steam piston reciprocates, constantly winding, firing, winding, firing, the human ammunition feeder is simple and reliable, bundles of javelins are methodically put into the conveying port, and the grappling hook driven by the rocker arm is accurately put into the arrow groove in the moment after winding.

The officer with a monocular watched the distance of the chain horses and the results of the waves and javelins landing on the city wall, and instructed the crossbowmen to adjust the angle of the crossbow heads so that the javelins could hit the follow-up troops of the chain horses.

The sharp whistling in the sky stimulates people's eardrums, and the power of steam is terrifying, ten rounds were launched in a very short time, and a thousand javelins pierced into the team of the chain horses with a whistling, and the cavalry, who had been disturbed by Liu Ziguang, were nailed to the ground by javelins falling from the sky at this moment, and the heavy armor on their bodies was torn apart like tissue paper. The javelin pierced through the body and plunged into the frozen earth, the tail still fluttering.

The follow-up chain horses were also covered with javelins that extended the firing range, and the javelins in the sky were still so powerful against the north wind, countless knights were pierced in an instant, and countless war horses were frightened by the terrifying whistle, and for a while people shouted horses neighing, screaming again and again, the Qing knights who had strict military orders did not know how to retreat, and still rushed forward, under the javelin blows like a rainstorm, the losses were heavy, coupled with the trampling on each other, the thousand people who attacked this time, ten stopped and seven stopped.

The sound of the Qing kingdom's gold finally sounded, and the remnants of the chain horses made a big turn before turning back, and the javelins stopped firing at the right time.

Liu Ziguang, who was jumping to dodge the javelin, also wiped the cold sweat on his head, "Damn, it's just Katyusha!" ”

The Qing army did not move at all, no matter how powerful the javelin was, it couldn't shoot so far, under the bright yellow big silk with handsome characters written on it, a thin and pale young man in a yellow robe said to the middle-aged general next to him: "What is the matter of the military aircraft department, it is said that if you take the north gate, the army can enter the city directly, and now it is good, first a group of people called Huazi made dumplings for the scouts of the front army, and then a martial arts master came out to kill and injure so many of my Praetorian Guards, and now it is such a powerful giant crossbow arrow, breaking my chain of horses, Your military aircraft department is simply not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures! Song Qingfeng, ask him to give me an explanation. ”

The middle-aged general was cowardly, "It's all the subordinates' poor consideration, which led to the losses of His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, as for Song Qingfeng and Lord Song, he was killed by the most capable barbarian in the Ming Dynasty in front of the battle just now, and he can't come to see Your Majesty." ”

The white-robed young man was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror to look at the battlefield, the battlefield full of mourning was full of the corpses of serial horses and slave armies, as well as javelins everywhere, how could he still find Song Qingfeng's figure.

"I'm afraid I've been trampled into flesh by horses, Your Majesty." The middle-aged general whispered.

The pale face of the white-robed young man gradually turned red, "Waste, all of them are waste, Song Qingfeng is dead, and the death squad of the military aircraft department that raided the north gate of the Liguo Iron Plant must also be exhausted." Lord Zhang, when I take the Southern Dynasty, your Minister of Military Aircraft should also consider letting Xian. ”

The middle-aged general bowed his head and confessed: "Weichen has failed His Majesty's trust and will die!" ”

The Emperor of the Qing Kingdom snorted coldly, and said to himself, "Fortunately, I have thought it through and brought back the cannon, otherwise the southern expedition would be blocked, how could I have the face to see those ministers." ”

"Come on, send the order back to the cannon to move forward, I want to smash this city!" The young emperor raised his voice and gave the order.

Seeing the chain horse retreat, the defeated slave army and the iron guards on the city wall cheered together, Liu Ziguang ran back to the city in the cheers, and Zha Muhe came over and punched him fiercely, "Good boy, one person broke the chain horse." Are you possessed by a god, so powerful all of a sudden? Liu Ziguang said: Luck.

Everyone patted Liu Ziguang's shoulder in a friendly manner, the god of war in the slave army, such a fierce general is once in a lifetime, even the people on the city wall are amazed, Liu Ziguang doesn't know that after a period of time, the story of the white-robed young man breaking the chain of horses will be compiled into a commentary and sung in the teahouse and restaurant of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ziguang walked through the elated crowd, walked in front of Peng Jingrong, and said quietly: "I'm back." Seeing that there were traces of tears on the girl's face, Peng Jingrong nodded lightly: "It's good to come back, I'll wait for you." ”

A few words, but a thousand words.
