Chapter 380: The artillery opens the way, and the elite soldiers crush it

The artillery battalion is divided into three generals, the seventy-two guns of the Tiger Zun artillery are lined up and deployed at the front of the artillery array, followed by the total number of Franc machine guns, which are still seventy-two, and finally the total number of rocket artillery, and the seventy-two rocket artillery vehicles are all loaded with a hundred tigers rushing to the big rocket.

Qian Jian stood in front of the formation and roared, and all the gunners in the artillery battalion lit the fuse almost together.

In an instant, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were changed, and a huge roar resounded in the sky, Liu Yan was in the clairvoyant mirror, and even saw the dust in front of the artillery camp rising instantly, as if the shape of the mushroom cloud in the later generations, countless cannons and rockets roared towards the army of thieves and horsemen not far away.

At the same time, on the west wall of Kaifeng City, more than 100 heavy artillery pieces also opened fire at the same time, and all the big Buddha Lang machine guns had already turned their muzzles in advance, and all of them concentrated their firepower on Chuang Wang Daxu, who was three or four miles away.

The huge roar of the two artillery salvos in front and behind was intertwined, startling hundreds of thousands of horses on the battlefield, and almost everyone looked at the artillery camp or the head of Kaifeng City.

I saw that the artillery in these two places was still roaring, and the shells and rockets were continuously pouring into the rogue cavalry formation.

The first of them was the front army of the thieves and horses, in the face of the scattered bullets fired by the seventy-two Tiger Zun cannons, hundreds of armored horsemen screamed and fell to the ground, and then the corpses of soldiers and horses became barricades, causing great confusion to the follow-up charging horses, and there were constantly thieves and horsemen who tripped up.

At the same time, hundreds of tigers rushed together and the big rockets fell in the formation of the thieves, causing great casualties to the thieves.

Moreover, the reloading speed of the rocket artillery vehicle is extremely fast, even faster than that of the bird's gun, and at a distance of one or two miles, the gunners of the artillery battalion are enough to carry out several rounds of salvos and continuously shoot the enemy.

When the second round of bombardment was completed, Qian Liang immediately ordered all the people in the Franc cannon to retreat, and he continued to stand in front, directing the Huzun artillery and rocket artillery vehicles to continue to bombard.

"Scatter, let's go!"

Rumble!

The Huzun cannon fired another volley, aiming at the thief riding a hundred steps away in front of him, and countless scattered bullets shot out, forming a barrage that swept down hundreds of people and horses, and another scream sounded.

"Let's go! Walk! Tiger Zun cannon total withdrawal! ”

Qian Jian roared, took the lead in turning around and running backwards, several drummers also blew the horn of retreat, hundreds of gunners and guards were like a 100-meter sprint, and the girl ran back, and the Huzun cannon and the Franc cannon on the position were all abandoned.

When Qian Qiao passed by the rocket artillery headquarters, he hurriedly stopped and shouted: "Release! All rockets are ignited! ”

At this time, seventy-two rocket artillery vehicles immediately ignited and fired, and all the remaining rockets were also raised by many gunners and guards, and they were aimed at the thief army array in front of them, and they were ignited and released.

In an instant, Liu Yan, who was in the command of the Chinese army watching the battle, also opened his mouth wide, looking at the rockets continuously fired from the position of the artillery battalion in the distance, as if he saw the "Katyusha" of the later generations, the dense rockets continued to rise into the air, and the thieves who charged in front of him rode like a mad cow that crashed into the sea of death, and the dense rockets continued to bleed, and thousands of people and horses in front kept falling to the ground, and the huge casualties made Li Zicheng in the rear also dumbfounded.

Zhang Nai, the mighty general, was charging at the front at this time, and when the dense rockets fell, the surrounding cavalry horses were constantly shot. Those rockets, boosted by gunpowder, were so powerful that even after they hit the ground, they would bounce violently, and then they didn't know where they would go, or which unlucky man would be shot.

Zhang Nai saw with his own eyes that the two horsemen in front of him were shot, it was an arrow the length of an adult's arm, and it was shot at a very fast speed, and the horseman in front of him didn't have time to raise his shield to defend before he was shot through the chest.

Then the rocket continued to gain momentum, and it shot into the abdomen of a rider behind, pinning the two people in front and back together.

Under Zhang Nai's frightened gaze, the two horsemen screamed and fell off their horses, and then were trampled into pulp by the rolling iron horses behind.

"Accelerate!"

Zhang Nai, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, knew at this time that if he wanted to survive, he had to rush to the front of the official army as soon as possible, or at least rush through this death zone shrouded in rockets, so he kept roaring and urging his subordinates to speed up the charge.

But then Zhang Nai's eyes widened, and he was horrified to find that several rockets shot in front of him quickly smashed over with white cigarette tails.

"Ahh

In a desperate shout, Zhang Nai raised an iron round shield at an unbelievable speed, but to no avail, the two rockets were nailed to the round shield fiercely, a huge force struck, the iron round shield instantly broke the defense, the two rockets first pierced Zhang Nai's left arm, and then shot into his chest, directly nailing the left arm and the round shield to the chest together!

At this time, Zhang Nai only felt a sharp pain that pierced his heart, and then the strength of his whole body quickly subsided, and the vision in front of him was blurred, and he opened his mouth to shout loudly, but he couldn't make a sound, and then he lay on his head on the war horse and died.

The surrounding Xiao knights were frightened when they saw this, and the mighty general who led the army was killed in battle, and according to the military law of the thieves, everyone had to sit and be martyred.

With a bang, everyone around them turned their horses around, since they were dead both horizontally and vertically, what else was there to fight? These thieves did not have the will to fight like the new army in Qinglai Town, and they were completely suppressed by the harsh military law of the thieves and the generals at all levels.

At this time, Zhang Nai's death, the front army of the Xiao cavalry army suddenly became a mess, countless Xiao rode horses and fled, and the chaotic scene made Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, who were galloping behind, stunned.

"King Chuang, it's Zhang Nai, his battle flag has fallen!"

Li Zicheng's face was pale, and he roared loudly, urging the follow-up horsemen to continue to attack.

At this time, Liu Zongmin also scolded loudly, and sped up in anger, wanting to ride his horse to the front to suppress the deserters.

Suddenly, another rocket came, and Liu Zongmin suddenly hid sideways on the side of the war horse, trying to dodge the rocket with superb riding skills.

But impartially, a rocket grazed Liu Zongmin and flew over, Liu Zongmin just breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, looked down, it turned out that there was a rocket in the shoulder, the heavy shoulder swallow had been shot through, and the whole shoulder was already bleeding.

Li Zicheng was also startled when he saw that Liu Zongmin was injured, and hurriedly ordered a group of horsemen around him to step forward to escort Liu Zongmin out of the army and return to the Chinese army for treatment first.

"Ahh King Chuang, kill them, kill those dog officers and soldiers, kill! ”

Liu Zongmin roared loudly in anger, even if he was led out of the battlefield by his subordinates, he still scolded endlessly.

Li Zicheng didn't pay attention to it, but his face became more and more gloomy, and he rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the cavalry army finally rushed to the location of the new army's artillery camp. It's just that at this time, Qian Qiao and all the soldiers of the artillery battalion have withdrawn to the back.

"Keep charging!"

Li Zicheng shouted, Ren Jirong, the former Guoyi general, and Wu Ruyi, the former Guoyi general, had already rushed to stabilize their positions, and countless horsemen rushed through the artillery camp position and launched an attack on the large formation of the new army's middle camp one mile behind.

Shen Tuo looked at the enemy army that was getting closer and closer, with more than 100,000 paces and boundless horses, although he was nervous in his heart, but there was no trace of timidity.

"Bird Hands Ready!"

"The sword and shield hand is ready to throw the earth-shattering thunder!"

"The pikemen come forward in formation, ready to stop the enemy!"

After a series of bloody battles, the soldiers of the middle battalion had already suffered hundreds of casualties at this time, and the rest of the soldiers were also exhausted, but as Shen Tuo continued to give orders, all the soldiers were quickly in position, and the huge phalanx was ready for battle, without a trace of hesitation and fear.

The army of thieves is approaching rapidly, Liu Yan is also sweating at this time, although he has made all the arrangements, and the artillery on the west wall of Kaifeng City is still bombarding, but whether he can disturb the command of the thieves, whether he can concentrate firepower to bombard Li Zicheng's location, and let him retreat in difficulty, these are all unknowns, and it can even be said that there is a lot of luck in it.

However, Liu Yan is not completely gambling on luck, because there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the middle battalion, Liu Yan is confident in his subordinates, as long as they are there, they will definitely be able to stop the army of thieves and buy time for the cavalry battalion soldiers who are reorganizing behind.

"Order: Zhang Yi, the commander of the left battalion and the guerrilla general, led his troops out of the city to participate in the battle, and within a moment, rushed to the front of the low wall defense line to stand by!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yan made another insurance, at this time, the deployment that he could do as a commander has been done, and the rest depends on how the officers and men of the new army fight!

In the army of thieves and cavalry, Li Zicheng also rushed to the front from the position of the Chinese army, and at this time he could already see the new army formation hundreds of steps away: "Liu Yan's department is really strong!" ”

Li Zicheng has seen too many elite officers and soldiers, but in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry charges, he can still form a formation so calmly to meet the enemy, and the huge phalanx does not even show any panic and uneasiness, and all the officers and men of the new army are calmly waiting, waiting for the moment when the battle begins.

Such calmness, such courage, and such a strong army, Li Zicheng has never seen it, and he is also shocked at this moment: "To be able to confront an opponent like Liu Yan is not in vain to break through the king of the world for more than ten years, and today when the bloody battle is fought to the end, can he show his heroic ambition!" ”

"Charge, speed up!"

Li Zicheng saw the steady horizontal formation of the middle camp of the new army, and also saw the countless pikemen wearing heavy armor and holding four-meter long spears behind.

But these are no longer important, the war has been fought until now, and it has reached the final moment when the two sides finally show their cards and compare the size, even if the casualties are large, Li Zicheng will continue to impact and impact until the new army in front of him is completely defeated!

The cavalry army continued to charge, and suddenly there was a huge noise from the west city wall of Kaifeng City in the distance, which was the roar of seven Hongyi cannons, and at this moment seven ten-pound cannons were whistling and flying, under the gaze of more than 100,000 horses, they successively fell in the military formation of the thief Xiaocai, and fell around Li Zicheng's Chuang Wang Daxu!

Rumble!

With a bang, in everyone's incredible eyes, a cannon hit King Chuang, and the flagpole with the thickness of an adult's arm was broken in response, and the huge black banner fell straight down.

Li Zicheng, who was riding a horse behind Da Xu, also looked terrifying, and when the flagpole was broken, countless sawdust and wooden thorns splashed everywhere, and one of the finger-sized wooden thorns was like an arrow, hitting Li Zicheng's left eye, Li Zicheng's eye sockets were suddenly bloody, and the surrounding thieves and soldiers were all scattered when they saw this!

"King Chuang!"

"Save the King!"

The army of thieves was suddenly in chaos, the thieves of the front army and the Chinese army slowed down one after another, and then reversed back, the former Guoyi general Ren Jirong, and the consequence of the Yi general Wu Ruyi saw the fall of King Chuang's Daxu, and he was also frightened to lead the troops to withdraw, at this time the impact of the new army array is no longer the most important, the most important thing is to confirm whether King Chuang is safe.

"Withdraw! Go and save the King! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
