Chapter 247: One-sided slaughter
The Divine Machine Battalion is advancing. However, the Janissaries of Annam did not attack for a long time. In the tactics of Hu Yuancheng, the prince of firearms, the firearms army was used for defense.
He's waiting for the effective kill range. The modified Divine Machine Gun has an effective firing range of up to 100 steps. However, due to the poor accuracy, it is necessary to wait for the enemy to enter a distance of sixty paces, that is, eighty meters, before the best time to shoot.
Far away, misses. Even if it is sixty steps, the hit rate is not high, and if you shoot a salvo, it is about six or seven percent. Seeing that the Shenji Battalion was approaching, the Janissaries of Annam were a little panicked, and everyone looked at King Wei.
"King Wei, the enemy is coming!" A general said hurriedly.
"Shut up!" Hu Yuancheng snorted coldly.
"Stop!" When the Shenji Battalion was eighty steps away from the Praetorian Guard, the Shenji Battalion, which was marching densely in layers, stopped instantly, and suddenly fell silent.
Stopped? There was a row of doubts from Annan's side. Hu Yuancheng also looked at it, his eyes were full of weirdness.
What is the Ming army doing? From such a distance, the fire can't be hit, the bow and arrow can't be shot, and even the scolding may not be heard.
A general whispered: "King Wei, are we going to attack?" Hu Yuancheng shook his head slowly: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, just wait and see what happens!" ”
"Yes, you can't attack, maybe it's another trick to lure the enemy in!" Someone shouted. In the Battle of Duobang and the Battle of Fuliangjiang, the Ming army repeatedly designed to lure the Annam army to take the initiative, but as a result, the original defensive layout was disrupted and failed miserably.
After a series of schemes, how can you be fooled again this time? The Annan generals said nothing at all. Reading the book just sat and waited for the Ming army to come and die!
"Attack!" On the chariot, without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Yunxi decisively gave the order to attack. The Shenji Battalion is armed with high-tech flintlock pistols that are hundreds of years ahead of the curve, and uses advanced tactics.
Hit the stinky fish and rotten shrimp on the opposite side, but if you hesitate for a second, it is disrespectful to the Shenji Battalion! Zhu Yunxi wants to let the monkeys on the other side know what the real firearms unit is!
"Check the sub-medicine and prepare for battle!" The 1,000 musketeers in the first platoon of the Shenji Battalion collectively stepped out with their left feet, and the 1,000-shot flintlock pistols were neatly turned down, aiming their guns at the Praetorian Guards in front.
They were arranged in three rows, a total of three thousand, with a thousand people in each row, unfurling a line. Feng Cheng, the master of the Shenji Battalion, shook the command flag, and a word jumped out of his mouth coldly: "Kill!" ”
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Snap ........" A grand volley of fire guns rang out, and one after another flames shot out, like an invitation to travel to hell sent by the king of Hades.
The Annam Praetorian Guards on the opposite side were like uncles touching porcelain, and a large area of blood mist suddenly appeared on their bodies, and then fell in pieces.
There was a slight commotion in the formation of the Praetorian Guards, and there was a look of fear in everyone's eyes.
"Quick, fight back!"
"Shoot, shoot!" If the other party makes a move, how can he not fight back? Hu Yuancheng couldn't wait to give the order. Hundreds of people were killed at the beginning, and the pressure of the Annam Praetorian Guard was very high, and after hearing the order, they nervously launched a counterattack.
A jagged sound of firecrackers sounded, and several firecrackers fell in the front row of the Shenji Battalion. Yes, only a few.
Eighty paces away, the hit rate is impressive, not to mention not a salvo. In this day and age, whether it is a musket or an artillery, a salvo in wartime will always be more lethal than a round of fire.
However, except for Zhu Yunxi, a traverser, no one understands this truth. Even if the fire guns of the Annam Praetorian Guard hit the Shenji Battalion, the bullets hit the heavily armed Shenji Battalion iron armor, and they may not be able to penetrate it.
However, the power of the projectile is enough to cause heavy damage to the body, and the heavy one will bleed to death. Several Shenji battalions were seriously injured and dragged down, and someone immediately made up for it.
The others remained motionless, holding their firearms and waiting for orders.
"Kill!" Feng Cheng's deathly shouting voice sounded.
"Bang Bang!" The sound of fire in the Shenji Camp was endless, and fierce fires came out one after another. Every time there was the sound of this volley of firearms, the Janissaries of Annam on the opposite side would fall one piece, as if they had made an appointment.
The Shenji Battalion was originally selected from the 12 guards of the pro-army to be good at firearms, and after a year of day and night training, both in terms of combat performance and battlefield experience, they were all first-class.
And the opposite. After only two rounds of blows, they screamed like monkeys jumping around and collapsed en masse. Judging from the scene, as long as you are not blind, you can see the huge gap between the two armies.
The Annam Janissaries scooped gunpowder with spoons and filled the muskets with a very slow speed. Like a snail.
The Shenji Battalion uses fixed-loading cartridge gunpowder, and the loading speed has increased several times. There is also a flintlock pistol that increases the density of the Divine Campfirers, using density to increase accuracy.
Annam's firecrackers are not good, and they need a large position on the left and right. On the same 100-meter-long line, the Shenji Battalion can stand a hundred firecrackers.
The Praetorian Guard can only fight fifty, and with the difference in weapons, the accuracy is one day and one place. The Divine Machine Battalion used flintlock pistols, which were at least three eras ahead of the fourteenth-century Divine Machine.
Whether it's accuracy, power, range, or rate of fire, it's all crushing. The muskets used by the Janissaries of Annam, like the Zero fighters of the small days of World War II, look awesome and roaring.
But on the opposite side, the Shenji Battalion is using a fourth-generation fighter! You don't have to bring a brain, just hang and beat!
"This battle doesn't seem to be easy to fight......" Hu Yuancheng said with swallowing saliva. He was already stunned just now.
Hu Yuancheng studied firearms very deeply, and when he saw that the Ming army's firearms could hit such a hit rate from eighty paces away, he was already stunned.
Also, when did the fire of the firebolt be so fast? Looking at the Praetorian Guards that collapsed in an instant, Annan's generals felt bitter in their mouths.
Not only is it difficult to fight, it is simply a one-sided slaughter! Praetorian Guard, it's over! In front of the elite of the Ming army, the people of Annam knew what it was to have a sky outside the sky!
However, it was useless for them to be in a hurry, because the person in charge of Shenglong City was Hu Yuancheng, the king of Wei. Listening to everyone's urgent screams and looking at the Ming army that was about to move, Hu Yuancheng was very calm.
Instead of sending troops to suppress the rout, he sent cavalry to meet the Praetorian Guard's withdrawal.
"Is the elephant array ready?" Hu Yuancheng asked. The general's face trembled, and he replied: "It's all ready, just wait for the order of King Wei." Hu Yuancheng's eyes lit up: "Hurry up and release it!" "Under the dragon.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Hu Yuancheng quickly stopped the riot among his subordinates, and couldn't help but nod and praise: "This Hu Yuancheng has something." Lan Yu and the others also nodded slowly: "This person is available." "Daming has never been stingy in absorbing talents from other countries.
Since Zhu Yunxi emphasized Huayi's debate in the Wenhua Palace, the Ming Dynasty has become more tolerant of the outside world in terms of policy. Even on the battlefield, the opponent's ability is excellent, and he can be used by me.
If you don't accept resistance, I will convince you! Unless the sin is extremely unforgivable, or it commits suicide on the spot!
"Herald cavalry, prepare to storm!" Zhu Yunxi gave the order. Without the defense of big rivers and geographical advantages, this ordinary-sized Thang Long City can be captured!
The Annan army urgently withdrew to the city, and the Ming cavalry pursued behind, taking advantage of the situation to rush into the city.
However, it seems that a monster has awakened behind the city gates. The cavalry of the Ming army, which had just rushed in, quickly retreated.
It was as if they had seen something terrible. There was a crowd at the gates, as if there had been a flood. I saw a gray torrent rushing out.
The people and horses at the city gate were caught off guard, whether it was the Ming army or the Annam army, they were constantly trampled over and trampled to the ground.
"It's not good, it's an Annam war elephant!"
