Chapter 413: Battle in the Rain (Subscription Requested)
However, compared to ordinary humans, more than 50,000 first-order soldiers are also very powerful, if it is the ancient era of cold weapons, even hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers can't stop the impact of fifty-thousand-order corpse soldiers.
Fortunately, the halberds of the special combat team are very powerful, they are all the best of the second-order and third-order martial artists, and their strength is strong, and at this time, they are lined up in a thin three-column line, relying on the five-meter-long halberd, which is five meters long, and they simply blocked the charge of the white-armored soldiers.
Don't forget, just now the knight's charge was also blocked by the halberd soldiers, and in terms of single-round impact power, the white-armored soldiers are only infantry, which is still much worse than the cavalry.
The halberd soldiers kept in mind their duties, did not seek to kill the enemy, but just firmly blocked the corpse soldiers from the halberd, and left the killing and wounding to the comrades behind them.
The halberd soldier has always been assisted by sword and shield soldiers, but at this time, he changed to a grenadier, took out a grenade, threw the grenade over the head of the halberd, and threw it into the pile of corpses as if he didn't want money.
These corpse soldiers were so densely lined up that a single grenade could kill or injure seven or eight white-armored soldiers with shrapnel.
It's just that the white-armored soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and the corpse soldiers' ability to suppress injuries is much higher than that of humans, usually a grenade kills and injures seven or eight white-armored soldiers, only one or two corpse soldiers are unlucky enough to be blown up to the critical place and fall, and the others can still jump alive and continue to fight.
Of course, such an explosion will also cause damage to the corpse soldiers, and the strength will be greatly reduced, and the combat effectiveness is far less than before, and it will be easier to fall if it is bombed again.
The grenadiers dropped back after throwing the grenades, and they were immediately replaced by men from other classes, who also took the grenades over the array of halberders and smashed them into the white armor.
After all, throwing grenades was the basic combat method of infantry in the gunpowder age, and sword and shield soldiers and ordinary musketeers, although they were not specialized grenadiers, were also strictly trained, and it was no problem to throw grenades or something.
What's more, the requirements for them at this time are not high, there is no need to throw too far, as long as it exceeds twenty or thirty meters, it will explode among the white armor soldiers.
The Huaxia army has long entered the era of steam engines, the military production capacity is very high, it is not easy to say anything else, bullets and grenades are absolutely sufficient, at this time they don't want money to throw forward, in order to save time and physical strength, but also lined up in several columns, each time a column is thrown, the other column immediately fills.
If the musketeers had a sectional firing method, they now use the sectional grenade method, which is still a tactic that is rarely possible in actual combat.
The soldiers on Li Xian's side who can still fight normally now, in addition to the two hundred halberd soldiers at the front, there are also more than 600 soldiers, who took turns to throw grenades, and they actually blocked the momentum of the white-armored soldiers.
There were fifty or sixty warriors who fought with the troops, and they were all third-order and above masters, and when they saw that it was cheap, they also came over to ask for grenades, and then threw them into the corpse soldiers.
The warriors in the north have fought with a large number of corpse soldiers many times in the past few years, and they are all supported by grenades supported by the Sanyuanguan, and they are very familiar with this weapon, and there are a few of them who specialize in cultivating hidden weapons, and they can also play with flowers, relying on their own martial arts cultivation is also extremely high, causing great damage to the white armor team.
As for the martial artists in the south, they are more familiar with grenades, like the Exterminating Master Tai of the Five Pieces Temple, who is a cultivator of the fourth-order grand master, and has mostly fought with large troops in the Huaxia Army in the past few years, and is also a top instructor in the army.
I saw that this master's hand shook, and more than 20 grenades were sent out from his hand at the same time, and when they hit each other in mid-air, they changed direction, and fell into the group of corpse soldiers at a strange angle, and just fell on the chest of the white-armored soldier and exploded, making the radius of shrapnel twice as large as falling into the ground, and hundreds of corpse soldiers fell down in an instant.
"It's still my senior sister's martial arts and grenade skills. "A fourth-order master named Su Can next to the Exterminator Master Tai immediately made a statement, of course, his subordinates were not slow, and he also took out a grenade and threw it far away.
After all, human beings are a hundred times more shrewd than the brainless corpse soldiers, and they do not leave those white-armored soldiers who rush to the front, but use grenades to create a layer of isolation belt more than ten meters behind these white-armored soldiers.
In this way, the white-armored soldiers in the back couldn't squeeze in, and the white-armored soldiers in the front were blocked by the halberd, and they couldn't rush up, and they couldn't form a numerical advantage, and it was almost useless in the face of the halberd array, which was several times stronger in weaponry, equipment, and strength.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the use of muskets by Li Xian's side was seriously affected.
Fortunately, the defense ability of the grenade is much stronger than that of the musket, especially the current new grenade, which can directly pull the ring, and all the ignition parts are in the iron lump, unless they are all soaked in water, they can still be ignited and exploded.
At this time, some soldiers have long spread the previously removed balloon cloth strips on the ammunition box to prevent these ammunition from being stained with rainwater, and some people have tried to build a simple canopy, which can be more effective in defense, and if the canopy is high enough, it can also allow soldiers to enter it, and after the bottom of the box is cushioned, etc., condescendingly shoot from the head of the halberd soldier to assist the halberd soldier in combat.
Firearms are certainly affected in rainy weather, but in terms of the proportion of those affected, muskets may be affected by 30 to 50 percent, while grenades are only affected by about 10 percent, and at this time, grenades are much better than muskets.
At this time, some of the soldiers in the forefront of the halberd soldiers could no longer hold on, although their martial arts cultivation was high, but after two major battles in front, they are now at the forefront again, and their physical consumption is amazing, and they can support it until now It is considered to be extraordinary.
Fortunately, Li Xian's side was not without replaceable candidates, and immediately a sword and shield soldier stepped up, took over the halberd, and took over the work of the wall for the original halberd soldier.
In terms of the proficiency of the halberd, these sword and shield soldiers are naturally worse, but fortunately, these sword and shield soldiers are also well-cultivated warriors, and their strength is not worse than that of the halberd soldiers, and the halberd soldiers rely more on strength than skill, just to block the corpse soldiers from the halberd, in fact, they don't need much skill.
In short, the power of the halberd array decreased a little after a while, but it was not particularly noticeable, and although it was crumbling a few times, it still kept the front from being torn.
It is said that once there are more than 10,000 people, there will be no edges all over the mountains, and the array on Li Xian's side this time is relatively narrow, so that the corpse soldiers in front are still engaged with the halberd soldiers, but the corpse soldiers at the back are all lined up hundreds of meters away.
The rocket artillery unit on Hai Dagui's side saw that it was cheap, and began to bombard the corpse soldiers with shells, or from the farthest soldiers.
After all, the power of the shells is not easy to control, and if the two sides get too close, the rocket artillery will not dare to hit, otherwise it will not be good to hurt their own people.
