Chapter 480: An Ordinary Battle (2)
In a burst of gunfire like fried beans, and choking white smoke rising, the golden man in front of the battle was immediately put down.
Even because the battlefield is actually the best training ground.
After several days of continuous fighting, the surviving soldiers of the New Army all improved their marksmanship.
The first wave of muskets, which had been carefully aimed, fired, and almost all the elites who rushed to the front of the golden people fell to the ground.
The problem is that in the past few days, after so many lives have been filled in front of the Song army's formation.
The Jin side is also well-learned, or it is out of the way.
knew a cruel reality, fighting with these different Song people in front of him; The more you grind and refuse to move forward, the more you will definitely die.
If it is desperate to move forward, the strange musket in the hands of the Song people will not have time to reload, but it may rush in.
As long as you can rush in, you can still win a life, a great achievement.
You must know that in the mouths of Wanyan Zongwang and other marshals, it has been said that as long as the first one to rush into the enemy camp in every attack, it is the same great achievement as the first person in the siege war.
The petty soldier was rewarded with a centurion, the officer was promoted to the first rank, and a large number of gold and silver, women, cattle and horses, and slaves were rewarded.
Anyway, no matter what it was for, these golden soldiers burst out with amazing courage.
Even if the people who rushed to the front were killed on the spot one after another, the golden soldiers behind let out a beast-like howl from their mouths, and they were still desperately moving forward, with a bit of a stubborn posture.
Even today's new musketeers, under the frenzied training and battlefield polishing.
With this brown beth musket in his hand, he was already able to fire at least five salvos in a minute.
They have completely reached the level of the excellent lobster soldiers of the John family in the past.
But these golden men with cold weapons in front of them are still rushing closer and closer.
Sixty steps, fifty steps, forty steps, leaving a trail of corpses spreading forward on the ground, suffering astonishing casualties, so desperately killed.
It has to be said that even in ancient wars.
Because of different cultural, cognitive, environmental and other reasons, the soldiers in the Eastern battlefield are sometimes the feudal lords on the Western battlefield in terms of their ability to bear casualties.
Even the officers of the Musket Age were completely unimaginable in a staggering degree.
Such a situation was only changed when the Jin soldiers rushed to the front of the formation thirty paces.
It was in Fan Zhu's ears, and he suddenly heard the battalion and company commanders under his command, facing the golden soldiers who were killed like a tide, and they all shouted out a sentence in their mouths:
"Sword and Shield Hand~"
Let them shout such a sentence out of their mouths, it's not that at such a time now, they are going to let the sword and shield men go up and prepare for melee combat.
Instead, the people who were selected to act as sword and shield bearers have a part-time job: grenadiers.
So there was an order from the commanders, and the soldiers of the new army, who were carrying small baskets on their bodies, put down their swords and shields and quickly stepped forward.
After quickly twisting open the safety covers of the wooden-handled grenades, one of the fuses was pulled out.
He lit it with a stick of incense stuck in his mouth, and then rounded his arm and threw it at the Jin soldiers outside the position.
This process seems a bit strange, doesn't it?
A grenade that needs to be ignited, it must have looked a little weird.
But there is no way to do it, the grenade of the hair pulling style involves the mercury of thunder, which is a necessary chemical product.
The production of this thing is theoretically simple.
It is nothing more than the synthesis of mercury nitrate with mercury, that is, mercury, by interacting with nitric acid.
Then, mercury nitrate reacts with ethanol to obtain gray thunder mercury; If some hydrochloric acid and copper are added to the process, white thunder mercury can be obtained.
This thing is very sensitive to impact, and is an excellent detonation chemical.
If the above theory is said, it is actually very simple, right, and many people in the team know it.
The key is that there are no chemical talents in the team, and the only person who barely has anything to do with it is Lao Hei, a pesticide seller.
Or Chen Tang, a PLA sapper.
It's not like they can't do it, but there's so much work to do, there's really no time to study it.
Therefore, the ignition grenade that is considered to be solved or not, rather than whether it is good or not, appears in the current equipment.
But then again, in such an era as the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Even an ignition grenade is still a very formidable weapon.
Especially considering the black powder of the particles, it is a little less powerful when it explodes; In those years, after some border areas were thrown out, they could only be blown in half after the explosion, that is, the situation of scaring the devils appeared.
The New Army's 'Maude-1' grenade has an overall weight of two catties.
In addition to the wooden handle is longer, it is more convenient to throw such a point.
It is equivalent to that inside, a guy is loaded with no less than eight taels of granular black powder; The cast projectile body is also carefully produced, and the power is quite good.
The only problem is that if this thing weren't for a man with a big waist and a round waist, and he was trained to throw professionally, he really wouldn't be able to throw it far.
Even these trained sword and shield bearers can only throw twenty or thirty meters.
Fortunately, such a distance is completely sufficient.
When two hundred or so smoking grenades landed at exactly this distance; The Jin soldiers, who had suffered a big loss in this area for a long time, were almost not scared to death.
Just before they could do anything, the grenades, which only had a reaction time of about 3.2 seconds, exploded one after another.
On each cast-iron projectile body, there were a total of 72 fragments, and under the impetus of the explosion of eight taels of black powder, they began to splash in all directions, forming a terrifying death space.
The Jin soldiers who were in it were emptied of most of them in the blink of an eye.
Only a small number of lucky ones who wore iron armor and shrapnel splashed on the iron armor were lucky enough to survive.
However, these so-called lucky people only lived for an extra second or two.
When they were still under the shock wave of the explosion, they were dizzy and did not fully wake up, and they were horrified to see the Song people's camp no more than twenty or thirty steps ago.
Another row of Song people took two steps forward and then stood up, the deadly weapons in their hands brushed up.
Then, a broken voice that made their souls tremble, sounded like a urge: "Fire~"
Then, there was another sound like fried beans, and the bodies of these so-called lucky people shook like a pendulum.
In the end, he fell down with blood all over his body, and no one was spared.
Of course, the Jin people are not stupid, they have already suffered a lot of losses on grenades before, and they may not be defenseless at all.
In response to this, they have specific precautions.
That's when I saw the grenadiers rushing towards the edge of the camp under orders.
The officers who commanded the archers and crossbowmen were already roaring wildly, so that the crossbowmen under their command immediately turned their attacks to these grenadiers.
So in the process of doing this, a number of grenadiers were shot over.
If the grenade in the hand is not ignited and the person is shot, then the situation is slightly better.
But when some of the grenades in their hands were lit, the grenadiers who were about to throw them were shot in the arm, or in other places.
When the smoking grenade in his hand fell to the ground, a test of humanity appeared.
Will you die by yourself, or will the people around you die together?
In response to such a point, Fan Zhu's emotions are extremely complicated.
On the one hand, when such a scene appeared, his soldiers did not hesitate in the slightest, as required in their training.
He took off his helmet, placed it on his lower abdomen, aimed it at the grenade, and pounced on it with his body.
In such a way, greater casualties were avoided.
On the other hand, after every explosion; All represent a heroic warrior under his command who has completely lost his precious life.
The helmet and cuirass made of 100 steels were indeed enough to block those fragments.
However, the power of at least eight taels of black powder was enough to shock them to death.
So every time the explosion sounded, it was as if a sharp knife had struck him in the heart, and it hurt so badly......
