Chapter 25: The First Battle of Firearms
This chapter of the thunder, please be accompanied by parents to watch this chapter and prepare a heart-saving pill.
The second wave of attacks led by Harry, the prince of Forget, was very fierce at the beginning, 50,000 of his troops were troops from the small western countries, and the remaining 40,000 or so were all soldiers of the Kingdom of Turani, these soldiers hated the elves who had forgotten their country, and fought with no regard for their own safety, and quickly fought with the elven army under the cover of ballistas and trebuchets, and even Prince Harry rushed to the front line with his long sword.
"Die!" Prince Harry's magic sword slashed the head of a dwarf in half with a yellow fighting spirit, then kicked another one away, and the shield in his left hand slapped the axe away, and then pierced the attacking dwarf, Prince Harry's heroic expression not only boosted the morale of the soldiers, but also brought danger to him, and one of the elven elders, Nara Tyron, a law enforcer, slew at him.
Where is Prince Harry's opponent of the saint-level enforcer, a light injury will be received after a face, if it is not for the magic equipment on his body is strong enough, maybe he will not be killed, if he dies, it is likely to lead the morale of the soldiers to be disheartened, the morale of the soldiers is instantly low to underestimate, and the second wave of attacks will naturally fail, which can only say that the blood of young people sometimes only does bad things with good intentions.
"Your Highness!"
The surrounding Tulani soldiers all desperately attacked Nara Tyren when they saw that their prince was wounded, while the prince's loyal guards covered him and retreated.
Nara Tyron's melee magic is superb, and the frost on her magic sword turns all the human soldiers who attack her into ice sculptures, when she kills the last of Prince Harry's guards. Once again, Prince Harry was directly exposed to her.
"Die. "Nara Tyron is not a rambling villain who raises his sword without saying a word. Prince Harry sat on the ground and waited for death with a hateful gaze.
"Dang!"
At the critical moment, two scimitars held Nara Tyron's sword. Natasha, dressed in sexy leather armor, and three other snake demons appeared by Prince Harry's side and saved him, it turned out that Ouyang Yu had already discovered Prince Harry's actions, and was afraid that he would die on the battlefield, so he sent Natasha and the four girls to protect him secretly, and it really came in handy.
"Aren't you ashamed to bully children at such an old age? Natasha snapped her finger at Nara Tyron.
Nara Taryn is not a person of many words, and in the face of Natasha's provocation, she raised her sword and stabbed, "When! When......! When!" After the two fought each other, Natasha naturally fell behind. However, she was not alone, and Nicole, Monica, and Sissi immediately came to their aid, and eight scimitars slashed at Nala Taryn from all angles.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Nala Tylen being dragged by the four snake demons, several soldiers hurriedly ran over and dragged Prince Harry backwards to send him to a safe place, and immediately a priest came to treat him, and after curing him, his generals said that they would not dare to let him go to the front line to fight the enemy again, and dragged him to the rear.
Seeing that he had reached the rear and lost the possibility of killing him, Nara Tyron glared at Natasha's four daughters, "Since you can't kill him." Die for him."
"Huh...... If you want to kill us, I'm afraid you're not capable enough......! "Natasha's four daughters showed their true bodies, plus a body with a tail more than seven meters long, and six snow-white lotus arms holding six sharp scimitars. Natasha, with a beautiful woman on the top half and a snake on the bottom, startled Natara Tyron a lot, and then the attack of twenty-four scimitars made her even more scrambling. If it weren't for the fact that she was a saint-level defender, she would have died under the chaotic blade just now.
"It's okay, come back. Ouyang Yu's voice appeared in Natasha's mind. Ouyang Yu had assigned them the task of ensuring Prince Harry's safety, rather than fighting with the elven saint-level masters, and just as they were revealing their true bodies, Curti Fury had already flown towards them with another saint-level. So Ouyang Yu immediately ordered them to retreat.
"Yes, master. Natasha: They immediately jumped out of the circle after forcing Nara Taryn back.
Prince Harry's distress was only a small detail in the whole battle, and after he left, the soldiers fought desperately, inflicting maximum casualties on the enemy in the last moments of their lives.
"Uh......h Woo......!"
More than an hour later, the horn of the retreat on the human side sounded again, and the reason why the time of each battle was controlled in more than an hour was because it could not only reduce the casualties of each wave of attacking troops, but also preserve the morale and body of the army, after all, the purpose of the battle was to consume the enemy's strength rather than the strength of one's own side, so there was a strict time regulation.
The soldiers of the second wave of attack troops retreated like a tide in an orderly manner, and before the soldiers of the elven army could catch their breath, the third wave of attacks followed, this time led by Prince Terry himself.
"Damn humans, the soldiers hold on to me, hold on! As long as you hold on to this wave of victory, it's ours!" Curti angrily cheered up the soldiers below, and the elven soldiers who were panting like cattle could only hold on, and the elven archers' arms were swollen as thick as turnips, but Ren struggled to shoot again.
The human soldiers who attacked in the third wave felt that the long arrows they shot were not only soft and inaccurate, but also did not have the same strength as before when they came into contact with dwarves and centaurs, including the regular elven soldiers of the Enforcer army who used melee magic, and the large amount of physical and mana consumption greatly reduced their combat power, and for the first time, the human soldiers suppressed the once powerful enemy in a face-to-face battle.
From the sky on the Internet, the blue and green crowds crowded together, the green ones were slowly pushed back by the blue ones, although all the elven soldiers fought with all their might, but after all, they couldn't stop the energetic human new force, and the elven army was defeated for the first time.
"The reserve team will go to reinforcements immediately!" Korti Fury eagerly ordered the 20,000 regular elven soldiers in the rear who had never fought to go up to reinforce, and with the addition of 20,000 people, they could block the third wave of human attacks and stabilize the position of the elven army. Otherwise, there is a real possibility of a rout.
More than an hour passed, and the third wave of attacking human armies retreated. Taking advantage of this short gap, the elven soldiers seized the time to rest and rescue the wounded. Because they saw that the fourth wave of human armies was slowly approaching, and they could rest for a second longer.
The fourth wave was Ouyang Yu's army, more than 80,000 people walked in a neat pace, pushing all kinds of ordnance to the front line, and when they were about a kilometer and a half away from the elven army, they listened to it, and then the army separated left and right, and the strange thing of a three-bow bed crossbow, a catapult, and a copper pipe on two large wooden wheels was also pushed out.
These strange things have an official name, and that is the M1857-type twelve-pounder Napoleonic bronze cannon. The overall casting of alchemy, less bubbles, high strength, in addition to bronze, the cannon body also added a small amount of magic materials from this world, making the cannon body more durable and durable than the original, the surface of the cannon body is carved with a simple water magic array to cool down, with magic crystal as energy, the cooling energy provided by a magic crystal can make a cannon hit to scrap without needing to be replaced.
There were fifty Napoleonic cannons, and like the rest of the equipment, they were only a small number of experimental samples. Taking it out to test the actual combat effectiveness on the battlefield, some soldiers were busy around the Napoleon cannon, and as soon as they were ready, Ouyang Yu's raised right hand waved down suddenly. Fifty Napoleonic cannons together let out an earth-shattering roar.
"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......!"
A series of muffled cannon sounds rang out, and a scorching cannonball fell into the dense ranks of the elven army and exploded, setting off a bloody storm.
"Clean the chamber immediately. Get ready for your next shot!"
Gunner No. 1 held a long brush filled with tung oil and inserted it from the muzzle to clean the chamber, and then gunner No. 2 held the shell and propellant and stuffed the one-piece ammunition that was fixed together into the muzzle. The first gunner then used a cannon brush to push the shell into the bottom of the gun, and the third gunner waited for the ammunition to be pushed in, and then used a long cone to pierce the outer packaging of the propellant from the valve. Then insert the firing tube and tie the drawn fire rope so that it is ready to fire again.
"Free Fire!"
"Free fire!" The artillery squad leader repeated Ouyang Yu's order, and then the artillery commander pulled the firing rope, the firing tube ignited the propellant pack, and driven by the strong chemical kinetic energy of the gunpowder burning, a flowering projectile weighing 5.44 kg was fired from the muzzle of a 117 mm caliber and flew 1.5 kilometers to explode in the dwarf.
"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......!"
Fifty Napoleonic cannons fired deadly shells at a steady rate of four rounds per minute, and because there was no combined shield and no similar blow had ever been suffered, each flowering shell could harvest the lives of several elven soldiers, and no amount of armor could stop the flying shrapnel.
In addition to the Napoleon cannon, Ouyang Yujun's other long-range attack equipment was not idle, more than 40 catapults were also throwing high-explosive shells prepared for them, basketball-sized linen wrapped in three kilograms of explosives and one kilogram of fragments, after the rangefinder reported the distance, there would be soldiers with scissors to pick up the corresponding section of the lead of the high-explosive bomb placed in the throwing frame, and then ignite and fire.
Ouyang Yu rode on his horse and used a telescope to check the attack effect of the two weapons and said: "Doris, you write it down, the catapult can be abandoned, the shooting speed, attack distance and attack accuracy are completely inferior to the artillery, after the cannon is fired, a smoking device needs to be designed in the chamber to quickly exhaust the smoke, otherwise the shooting time will block the line of sight." ”
"I made a note of the hosts. Toris took out the small notebook she had with her and wrote down what Ouyang Yu had just said, she usually played the role of Ouyang Yu's secretary.
"Try replacing the bed crossbow with rockets. Ouyang Yu held the telescope and ordered.
Her order was quickly communicated, and then the soldiers followed her orders and began their work, the bowstring carefully removed, the bow arm removed, leaving only five bare launch rails, and then some soldiers placed four rudimentary rockets between the five launch rails.
There is a reason why these rockets are simple, the rockets are made of cast iron as a whole, about one meter long, cylindrical, with a diameter similar to an adult's arm, with a diameter of 57 millimeters, a circular front, and four stable tails with a certain arc, which can allow the rockets to rely on air flow to rotate during the flight to increase stability and accuracy.
The rockets are ignited by magic crystals, and four rows of ignition devices are placed under the launch rails, and the rockets and ignition devices are close together.
"Launch!"
With Ouyang Yu's command. Two hundred bed-turned-rocket launchers fired eight hundred rockets in one second.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
Eight hundred rockets trailing long white smoke covered almost all the soldiers of the elven army, and the smoke from the dense explosion cleared. Ouyang Yu held up the telescope and said, "The power is too poor, and the accuracy is too poor." The range is good, and in the future, rockets below 100 mm will not need to be produced, and it looks like the movement is quite large, but there are very few enemies killed, which is really a waste of my expectations. ”
Ouyang Yu was right, each of the eight hundred rockets was only a little more powerful than a grenade, and it could cause severe damage to lightly armed centaurs, but it was no threat to heavily armored dwarves, nor was it much of a threat to true elves wearing magic armor. The only advantage is the firing range of up to five kilometers.
However, this rocket attack was not without effect, and the soldiers of the elven army, who were already demoralized by the artillery, were completely demoralized by the large-scale rockets, and turned around and ran towards the camp in groups, because there were fixed magic shields arranged there, which could withstand the shells and rockets that were fired.
"Can't run! stop me!" no matter how Curty Fury shouted, the frightened dwarves and centaurs, as well as some of the elves, just bowed their heads and ran wildly, ignoring her cries.
"Damn, it's still the real elves who can be trusted. These people who came out of that inexplicable castle are not worthy of the name of elven warriors at all, and all the wildebeest cavalry must destroy the new weapons of the human race to boost morale, otherwise we will become the first elves to be defeated in ten thousand years!" said Curti Fury to the wildebeest cavalry commander beside him.
"Yes. Elder!" the wildebeest cavalry commander commanded.
The commander of the wildebeest cavalry, who came to his unit, shouted: "Fellow citizens, for the honor of our elven race, for the future of our children and grandchildren. Rush, ......!"
"Rush, ......!" Five thousand wildebeest knights drew their long swords together and charged at Ouyang Yujun.
"Change the target and turn your fire to the rushing wildebeest cavalry. It's time for the Cavalry Buster to come out, and at the same time let the 3rd Guards Regiment also go up and try it. Ouyang Yu was always observing the movements on the battlefield. When he found the five thousand wildebeest cavalry, he immediately ordered.
Fifty Napoleonic guns had no left and right firing range, so they had to turn their guns and re-aim, which took a lot of time.
"Reload the grenade shotshot!"
The grenade projectile, also known as the grape bullet, shoots out a large piece of the kind of shell, which is also a piece of ammunition, but the shell is pointed, and an air fuse is installed inside.
Fifty Napoleonic cannons were prepared, but because of the short range of the grenade shots, they did not shoot immediately, but waited for the charging wildebeest cavalry to come into range.
At the same time, the 3rd Guards Regiment was completely different from the other regiments, lined up in a neat formation under the beat of drums, carrying imitation Mini rifles, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the 3rd Guards Regiment did not have a piece of iron armor on their bodies, all of them wore red and white close-quarters uniforms, with black tricorne hats on their heads, (the dress of lobster soldiers) was divided into nine parts in a company of 120 people, each part was a row of 40 people, and there were three rows in front and back.
There are also some soldiers pushing imitation Gatling guns between each company, and the original Gatling guns that need to be cranked by soldiers' hands, these imitation Gatling guns are equipped with magic crystals to provide rotation, firing power source, so that there will be no problems of jamming and damage to parts caused by killing red-eyed soldiers, because of too fast shaking, Gatling guns are also imitations of fifty, in actual combat to test the effect, the use of copper fixed ammunition, from the machine gun above the seventy rounds of the drum to feed, the rate of fire per minute is 300 points.
"Start reloading!"
The soldiers of the 3rd Guards Regiment took out the propellant made of moisture-proof kraft paper from the cartridge box on the right waist, bit it open with their mouths and poured the gunpowder inside into the barrel, then took out the lead round bullet, stuffed it through the muzzle, compacted it with a strip, pulled the hammer, installed a fire cap on the top of the hammer, and prepared for shooting.
"First row guns up!"
More than 300 Mini rifles were aimed at the approaching wildebeest knights, and the soldiers operating the Gatling guns also loaded their drums and waited for the order to shoot.
"Fire!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang......! bang, ............bang,
Under the simultaneous fire of Napoleonic cannons, battlelinemen and Gatling guns, the wildebeest cavalry, which had entered the optimal firing range of five hundred meters, fell in rows.
"The first platoon retreats, the second platoon comes forward, aim, fire!"
"Woo Woo ......!"
Machine guns, artillery, and accurate platoon guns made 5,000 wildebeest cavalrymen die in more than ten minutes.
The white smoke of gunpowder slowly dissipated, and the entire battlefield was silent, and both sides were stunned by the achievements of Ouyang Yu's army, five thousand to zero, and there was no casualty of their own.
"Gollum. Prince Terry swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, pinched his thigh, and told him that he was not dreaming now, and that what was happening in front of him was also an extremely realistic scene.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Even Curti Fury was full of fear in the face of the unknown, but she had not forgotten that she was the commander of this army, and she personally led the four Saint-level Queens, but Ouyang Yujun had no intention of pursuing, and let the opponent return to the camp to raise the protective shield.
