Chapter 269: Fire Gunner
At the back, there are at least five or six layers of barbed wire, and although there is a distance between each layer, the horses can easily jump over them as long as they jump accurately.
But can a horse jump accurately? That weird round pipe weapon is really terrifying. In a round of fire, the horse fell. Which horse will be able to rush over!?
Yeluqing didn't know that this was the newly equipped firearm of the subordinate army. There are three gun tubes. It was filled with iron bullets. Gunpowder is filled into the chamber and then fired with a primer fired by a trap.
Compared to the original fuse-based firecracker, this firearm is much more advanced. This is the latest type of weapon that Murong Zhiqing came up with with the drawings and some knowledge left by Jiang Chao.
The length of the gun tube has reached 50 centimeters, and the effective killing distance has reached more than 100 meters.
Although it is not possible to make a perfect gun for the time being, there are still many firecrackers like this.
Over the course of several months, craftsmen worked overtime to produce at least 4,000 pieces. After several improvements. Both in terms of power and technology, it has been greatly developed.
If it weren't for the news of Jiang Chao's great victory over the Khitan army that spread back to the mountain village, Murong Zhiqing would have wanted to send the four thousand fire gun troops trained to help Jiang Chao.
And these 4,000 firecrackers, after a period of training, have long been able to skillfully control the firing of firecrackers and the filling of ammunition.
The Musketeers were responsible for the defense of the first line of defense.
Yeluqing came here without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and when he met the fire gun regiment in the army, he could only be considered unlucky.
Yeluqing, who came back to his senses, looked at the disciples on the opposite side, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes. There's also a feeling of being played.
His eyes flashed, and he said to the shocked general behind him who had not yet recovered: "Immediately send five hundred infantry, with five hundred shield steps, to quickly advance for me." It's only a hundred, I don't believe I can't take them! ”
Five hundred shield soldiers plus five hundred infantry, with the cooperation of the two to deal with the army of only one hundred, if he can't take it down, then his army is really useless.
When the general heard this, his face was also full of anger and annoyance. The more he thought about losing a hundred cavalry in this way, the more angry he became. He hurriedly sent five hundred infantry and five hundred shield men.
The shield men were in front, the infantry was behind, and they advanced quickly. Although shield soldiers are mainly shields, they are also equipped with swords.
The shield is used to resist the rain of arrows from the enemy, and sometimes it can also be used as a tool for advancing the army. The role of shield soldiers in the battle formation is even more important than that of other troops.
With the cooperation of the shield soldiers, they no longer have to be afraid of the strange long-barreled weapons on the opposite side. They didn't believe that what the long barrel of weapons fired could pierce the shield.
Seeing the shield soldiers covering the infantry coming, the 100-man army here looked at it coldly, and the army led by the soldiers asked everyone to put down the firearms in their hands. He reached for the grenade around his waist.
All the soldiers touched the grenade on their waists, and they looked at the enemy who had advanced to a distance of nearly 100 meters on the opposite side with strange faces.
Everyone did not move, but waited quietly. When the enemy appeared at a distance of fifty meters, all the soldiers looked at each other, and all of them opened the fuse of the grenade in their hands and threw it.
At a distance of fifty meters, it was too simple for the soldiers present to throw it over. The children of the Fire Gun Regiment have all gone through various choices.
Among them, the bomb throwing option is one of them, and those who can't throw more than 50 meters are all eliminated.
Murong Zhiqing is preparing to create a real pure firearms class, which can effectively kill and injure the enemy from a long distance by throwing bombs, and does not give the enemy a chance to rush forward.
Even if you can rush closer, and then greet with a firecracker. The end result can be imagined. After a few rounds of baptism, a hundred to a thousand can easily cope.
The enemy troops on the opposite side were still excited, and they saw that the Remembrance had advanced to fifty meters of the position, and they had not yet seen the subordinate army launch the round pipe weapon.
Everyone thought that the children's army had no choice, and with the shield, the round pipe weapon was useless. The enemy troops were still full of pride.
They were thinking about pulling the wire fence in front of the soldiers' positions in the past to create opportunities for the cavalry. Then, he took advantage of the situation to wipe out all the subordinate troops on the opposite position.
But just when they were excited and thought they were going to do something great, suddenly, something was thrown into them. Before they could understand what it was.
Bang...... Bang...... Bang...... A burst of explosions sounded in the midst of a group of enemy troops, and in the blink of an eye, a group of enemy troops were blown up, and more than 100 people were killed on the spot.
More than 200 people were wounded. The formation in which they were advancing was suddenly in chaos. Screams rang out one after another.
On the other side, Ye Luqing, who was still waiting for his subordinates to win a big victory, instantly showed a shock and astonishment in his eyes. What's going on here? He almost wanted to scold his mother.
The cavalry can't rush through, and now the infantry is advancing, and the special ones can't be advanced. 1,000 people passed, and more than 300 casualties were killed and wounded in an instant. How the hell is this fighting!
Before he could call his soldiers to retreat, another round of grenades was thrown, and in the blink of an eye, the grenades blossomed in the enemy's ranks, killing more than 100 people and wounding hundreds more.
The shields of the shield soldiers were also blown up quite a bit. The formation can no longer be maintained.
However, there were brave enemy troops who rushed to the position on the side of the children in the confusion, but unfortunately, when they had just rushed to a distance of twenty or thirty meters, the fire guns on the side of the children army were launched.
Bang...... Bang...... Bang...... A volley came down, and nearly a hundred enemy troops fell in front of the position.
Even if there were strong enemy troops who rushed through the range of the firebolts and rushed to the positions of the soldiers.
But before they could attack, the children had already taken the initiative to meet them. Several people stabbed together, and several enemy soldiers who rushed over were beheaded in an instant.
After several rounds of killing, less than 200 of the 1,000 enemy troops fled back, and those who fled back were directly frightened, and there was only a thick fear in their eyes.
It was almost a one-sided massacre, and they barely touched the side of the army. Even those who rushed to the front of the army. In the end, he died even more miserably!
Seeing all this, Ye Luqing's eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief, and he looked at the hundred disciples standing outside the trench in front of him, and there was only shock in his eyes.
The hundred people in front of them stood almost like a moat in front of them. No matter how hard they tried, it was as if they couldn't get through.
Before the battle began, his team suffered nearly a thousand casualties. One-tenth of the battle loss ratio.
How can such a battle be fought!? As soon as the war began, morale hit rock bottom!
