Chapter 196: The Army's Morale Soars
Among the barracks of the Don Army.
The big war is imminent.
Now is not the time to think about 'one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion', whether it is the captains or the soldiers under their hands, now, they must know that they will not lose this battle.
To this end......
Su Dingfang also had people improvise five or six rows of wooden fences with nine rows at least two-thirds of a zhang high.
The thickness of the wooden fence is the thickness of the normal camp, probably at least about five inches.
And five or six rows, nine columns, put together, it was almost the length and width of an infantry formation.
The day before the big battle, Su Dingyi summoned all the soldiers in advance and asked all the soldiers to watch the performance of Wang Yan, that is, the personal guard artillery of the princess's mansion.
"What is this doing?"
Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui and others really couldn't think of any use for the princess's palace guards who didn't wear armor all over their bodies, and they didn't even deserve a horizontal knife.
You said to command in front, there is already a team in the team, you say let them come forward to kill the enemy, as if they don't have to be strong except for their physical fitness, they don't have to be strong anymore.
Not to mention, you don't have any weapons on yet.
Su Dingfang knew that it was not only Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian, and Xue Rengui, but also the rest of the soldiers recruited by the Tang Dynasty in Shandong, and he must have been very curious at this moment, why these people could be ranked ahead of them.
Today is the time to reveal the answers.
I saw Su Dingfang say to everyone onlookers: "I know, you must be very curious about Wang Yan, that is, the princess's palace guards, these days!" ”
"Why are they standing in front of you?"
"Today is the time to reveal this answer."
"Of course, before revealing the answer, I still have to say that tomorrow should be a decisive battle, I hope you don't see that the other party is several times more numerous than us, and you are timid."
"I won't say much nonsense. Wang Yan! Do it. ”
"Whoa!"
Wang Yan is like a stuffy gourd, conscientiously standing in his own position.
Followed by......
Wang Yan began to give orders to the artillerymen.
"One Shot!"
Among the artillerymen of each team, there were people who repeated Wang Yan's words.
And when it was finished, the flag was raised.
Said:
"One round reloaded!"
Wang Yan looked left and right, and they all raised their flags.
Moreover, all the punctured paper shells have been plugged into the gunpowder fuses and are on standby.
Wang Yanxuan said: "Ignition!" Launch! ”
The ignition was immediately all taken forward to ignite, and the movements were very uniform, and it can almost be said that the phase difference time was controlled in milliseconds.
Everyone looked at Wang Yan and them, and of course they were no strangers to these actions.
Because during training, Wang Yan and they also did this.
It's just that......
Today they saw Wang Yan, and they took out the real guy.
As for what the real guys are...... To be honest, they can't see the specifics.
I just know that it seems to be wrapped in a ball of yellow paper.
It's like a small medicine bag, and then they are stuffed directly into the copper pipe, and at the end, someone has to take an arm-thick pole to poke it inside.
After the stabbing was over, they would return to their positions and wait for Wang Yan's final order.
And this final command is 'Ignition!' Launch! ’。
Everyone looked at the wooden fences in front of them, and then at all the brass openings aimed at the wooden fences, as if they already knew what they wanted to do.
Since it was said that it was launched, it must be something to be launched.
But!
How to say it, it is also a wooden fence with an average thickness of about five inches, and it is normal to break through, no matter what, you have to use a catapult machine, or a soldier pushing a rushing car over, so that it can be broken. No matter how bad it is, at least let the soldier rush forward with a very thick and thick log.
This......
Before they could finish guessing what would happen next, nine neat earth-shattering loud noises rang out.
Moreover, the loud noise was accompanied by bursts of smoke.
And at the same time......
Some of the people who did not pay attention to the top of the smoke, but put the six rows of wooden fences in front of them, saw it, and did not know what the power was, and the six rows of nine rows of wooden fences in front of them, most of them were five rows, and if they were few, there were at least three or four rows......
I saw trees about five inches in diameter, some of which were directly cut off by the waist, some were directly pierced, and some were beaten so that even one side of the wood was turned out of the soil, and then the end of the whole wood was warped in mid-air.
To make matters worse, you can even see the bluish-white trunk of the tree where it was disconnected.
Since the opening is not completely smooth, you can also see that the opening seems to have a feeling of disconnection.
The original neat six rows and nine rows of wooden fences.
After only a blink of an eye, it seemed to be a broken appearance after being completely defeated.
This moment...... Everyone was shocked.
Their eyes widened!
Some people can even stuff several eggs in their mouths.
Then the mouth uttered a very rude remark.
Su Dingfang also said to the people around him: "This is artillery, and it is also the combat power of the princess's guards." ”
Liu Renliang, Pei Xingjian, and Xue Rengui all looked at Su Dingfang.
Niu Jinda has seen it.
Merely......
What he saw was that the enemy was being pressed and beaten by Su Dingfang step by step, like this kind of intuitive display of destructive power, he was actually the first time he had seen it.
Of course!
Compared to the others, he is already a lot better.
After Li Chengqian finished reading it, he also thought to himself, sure enough, his teacher would not let him come to death!
I just didn't expect it......
The teacher still has such a powerful thing hidden!
Then Li Chengqian recalled it slightly, and he was sure and affirmed.
His teacher doesn't seem to have said he was going to give him this too.
But he felt that sooner or later this thing would be his.
should just be worried that his father would be worried, so he didn't give it to him directly.
When the soldiers below saw that the launch was finished, they also rushed up to see the extent of the destruction of the wooden fences.
I wanted to touch the cannon again.
But they were all stopped by Wang Yan and them.
All I can say is......
This is also an exaggeration.
The trunk of a tree as thick as the thumb to the ring finger was easily broken by the waist, and some were punched out of a large hole, and the five or six rows of wooden fences seemed to be useless.
If this is a direct blow to the person...... I can only say that it feels scary to think about.
Soon, the big iron balls were spotted again.
This should be the culprit.
Weigh it in your hand, at least ten pounds.
If this thing smashes you in the chest......
Not to mention using artillery, just smashing your hand directly into your chest will make you suffocate.
After the news spread, for a while, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
