Chapter 368: Sick to my stomach when I see meat
? Chapter 368 I feel sick to my stomach when I see eating 'meat'
'Chaos' and 'chaos' almost happen as soon as everyone reacts.
Doni's men were not as brave as he thought. No matter how brave a person is, in the rain of fire and fire, there is still a stupid pestle there, then there is only one possibility, everyone is either blind or a fool.
Some of the men leaning against the fences in front of the tents were a little better, at least, behind these rudimentary fences, they could avoid some attacks from heaven, so that they would either have time to use their blades to strike at the flaming arrows, or they would be able to unfurl their armor in time, as their leaders and staff had done.
Fortunately, these flaming arrows that fell from the sky could not be called more lethal than their middle arrows. Through the gap in his shield, Doni saw that not far in front of him, there were several soldiers, with about four or five arrows in their bodies, and they were still jumping and beating their clothes that had been ignited by the arrows. Even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will never 'mess' like them, and the wound opened by the three-edged arrow can stop the bleeding by simply bandaging.
Although the damage of the arrows was not very large, the flames that came with the arrows caused them a lot of trouble. I don't know what is written on these arrows,' Wherever they shot, they burned, and those soldiers who were on fire slapped the flames on their bodies with their arms, often even burning on their arms, and the intense burning pain made them can't help but cry out loudly, and in such a rain of arrows, it was impossible for his comrades to brave the rain of arrows to put out the fire for them, so Doni saw these soldiers, like a hollow candle that could move, from the middle arrow to fight the fire, to cry out all over the fire, and finally to burn into a burning man, constantly rolling in the ground, and then, silentlyใ
Now, there is no need for torches anymore, although the rain of arrows is sparsely falling, but the people who are not dead in front no longer care about these small flames, they just look blankly at the big camp behind them, in the depths of the big camp, the situation that is more 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' than them is happening, everywhere there are people shouting and running, everywhere is the neighing of startled horses. And under the light of the whole camp with red fire, the flames on these arrows became so insignificant.
"All up, all up!" The first thing Dhoni reacted to was that the Ming army was about to attack from the front, and he immediately shouted loudly, and the people around him also shouted out in unison with his orders in this 'messy' situation.
He would not think that the Ming army would put a fire and then let some foot soldiers attack, in this case, to break through the enemy's camp, it can only be cavalry, and now he wants to say that his subordinates will be put in order, and the 'gate' of this large battalion will be guarded, and the back will be 'chaotic' like this, if the Ming army rushes in and kills again, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Not only did he think of this, but the soldiers who were a little more sober also thought of the consequences of the enemy rushing in by the 'chaos', and were drunk by their own leaders, and ran towards their positions one by one.
However, more people, in the rain of arrows just now, in the case of no avoidance, instinctively used their horses as a barrier, except for those unlucky ones who were burned to death, in fact, their people did not lose much, but this horse, but lost a lot.
"Horses, if only there were horses now!" The first thought of those soldiers who lost their horses after Doni shouted was this thought, many of them were a horse to live and fight with them, except for the leader and some special horses, ordinary cavalry, but there was no luxury to the point that everyone was equipped with a reserve horse.
These people, who are accustomed to the battle on horseback, are at a loss as soon as they are left without them, and their feelings of desperate longing for horses are even stronger than the feeling of the coming battle.
Soon, they got their wish, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, from the back of the camp, swept in, listening to the movement, it was the people behind riding horses, reinforcements came to the front, all the people, seeing the shadowy group of horses running towards their side, they couldn't help but 'show' a relieved expression, the so-called long drought and rain, refers to this situation!
"Did the prince bring someone over?" Doni also heard the movement behind him, looked back, and almost commanded his soldiers to go, but he was harmonious, his eyes were staring at the back, and the look on his face was getting more and more wrong.
"Dhoni, Dhoni!" He didn't even call out to Doni, and when he saw that Doni didn't react, he shouted violently: "Doni! โ
Doni turned his head, he opened his mouth and said hurriedly: "Tell our people to get out of the way, it's not me Ama who brought people over, there is no one right away, it's the horses behind that are startled, tell them to get out of the way, let the horses out, it's too late!" โ
Doni glanced at the camp tent in the firelight, his face also changed drastically, he turned over and got on his horse, and ran forward, "Get out of the way, open the camp door, hurry, hurry!" โ
Although these war horses are usually very docile, but once they are frightened and crazy, what is the situation, no one who is familiar with horses knows better, not to mention, this is not one or two, this is seen in front of the rapid coming, that is, dozens or hundreds of horses, I don't know how many behind, these horses have become a herd, but I don't know which people are their masters, which people are enemies, as long as they are in front of them, they are all trampled over.
In order to open the battalion 'gate' faster, these soldiers directly cut off the belts with knives, Rao is so, when the big 'gate' has not been fully opened, the soldiers who open the 'door' can almost feel the heavy snort of the horses galloping in front of them.
One, two, ten, hundreds, these soldiers, just like that, looked at each other, and watched the herd of horses in their sight, like a torrent, rolling past them, and then disappearing into the darkness ahead.
"Ready!" Liu Xiaoliu was only a few dozen steps away from the position of the tiger squatting artillery, and behind him was a black-pressed soldier standing quietly. The firelight from the camp opposite, the faces and bodies of these soldiers who were standing quietly were young and resolute faces in the constantly beating and jumping firelight.
The earth began to shake, obviously, the Tartars began to jump over the wall in a hurry, Liu Xiaoliu once again reiterated the order, in view of the short range of the tiger squat cannon, and the unloadable "nature" on the battlefield now, this order to open the cannon must be cautious, Liu Xiaoliu simply ended up with the command of the artillery team, which was personally commanded by him, and the original command was now just a retelling of his order.
"All of them, ready!"
The arquebus in the gunner's hand has always been burning, and after hearing the order, the gunners almost subconsciously blew the arquebus again to ensure that they could ignite the cannon in front of them at any time.
Thirty steps, the effective killing range tested by the tiger squat cannon is about thirty steps, if it is to deal with the foot soldiers, within the range of these thirty steps, it must become an insurmountable moat for the foot soldiers, in front of the high-speed iron ball, either the end of the flesh and blood body wearing iron armor, or it becomes a mess of 'flesh' mud.
However, for the cavalry who run with all their strength, thirty steps, that is, a matter of the blink of an eye, this is relatively high for the psychological quality of the gunners, and the ignition is too early or too late, for the gunners, this may be the last mistake they have made in their lives.
It was too early, the cavalry had not yet entered the 'firing' range, and it was considered a vain fight, and it did not cause much damage. If it was too late, the cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and what was the use of this artillery.
This is also one of the reasons why Yu Feng thinks that the tiger squat cannon is the most 'chicken' rib, although he holds the idea that talking is better than nothing, and armed the tiger squat cannon into the Fengzi battalion, but, in his opinion, it is a bit unreliable to really rely on the tiger squat cannon to decide the victory. Like the artillery doctrine of the Soviet Union in later generations, the army pulled out, there was no need to do anything, hundreds of heavy artillery pestles on the position, basically, the victory and defeat were already known, as for the infantry, to occupy, to clear the remnants of the enemy, to enjoy the victory of this situation, at least in the current Fengzi battalion is not possible.
The cavalry on the opposite side ran chaotically, and there was no formation at all, and Liu Xiaoliu was a little suspicious. He stared closely at the fire in front of him, and one horse after another appeared in front of him, but, without exception, there were no knights on the horses.
He even carefully observed the belly of these horses, the ability of the Tartar to turn over and hide under the horse's belly on the back of the galloping horse, he had seen it, but, it seemed, there was no one under the horse's belly!
However, his doubts did not last long, the situation in front of him, he did not have much time to think, whether these horses were driven by the Tartars, or there were Tartars hiding among these horses, trying to rush over, he needed to make a decision immediately, these horses were coming towards the position he was waiting for, then, he had no choice, he could not let these horses rush to 'mess' his formation.
"Fire!"
"Fire! Fire! โ
No one can imagine how terrible the sound of dozens of 'door' tiger squatting cannons is when they are gathered together and fire at the same time, and no one can imagine what kind of tragic situation it will be when a group of galloping horses suddenly encounters iron pellets that are denser than raindrops, and they are dozens or even hundreds of times faster than them.
This was the first large-scale and large-density use of scattered 'fire' artillery to 'shoot' at close range since the formation of the Fengzi Battalion, according to the soldiers who saw this scene with their own eyes, they later said, but they saw the situation after the cannon fired, and for several months, they were sick to their stomachs when they saw the 'meat' food. As for the fact that Fengziying has saved a lot of expenses for buying pigs and sheep, that is a later story, so there is no need to mention it again.
