Chapter 49 The Battle of the Two Powers 4

Those officer gunners still drove the horse forward towards the army. The effective range of the tiger squat gun was very low, only about a hundred steps away. Although they also saw the opposite thief army oscillate cannons, the military order was like a mountain. They had to go to the front of the Xingtian Army to set up the tiger squat gun. After all, they are also The veteran of the Northern Army has been fighting for a long time. In the battle between the two armies, they still haven't seen much of cannons and cannon bombardment, so they are not very worried about anything.

Besides, they have a large army to suppress the array. Although they are a little forward, the other party is mostly a marcher, and there is no need for them to worry that they will be counterattacked by the thieves' cavalry. Therefore, with the sound of the drums, they still steadily drive their horses forward, gradually approaching the Xingtian Army array, and began to collect and press The department was ready to unload the tiger squat gun on the horse's back.

After the other two cavalry sent out, they covered the accompanying gunners step by step and began to wait for the attack.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian is no longer nervous. Now that this is the case, let's focus on the battle. Whether Guan Ning Tieqi is strong, or his Xing Tianjun is powerful. After all, he still needs to see the real chapter under his hand, so he stared at the actions of the opposite officer. A quick judgment was made.

"It is said that Situ Liang's cavalry will start from the left wing to cover the flank of the second battalion, and not let the officers on this road attack the flank of the second battalion! Order the artillery, sweep away the artillery of these officers!" Xiao Tianjian began to give the order with a calm face.

Looking at the hundreds of officers and soldiers in front of him marching towards their side, the soldiers of the two battalions in front of the army also calmed down. After taking a few deep breaths, they quietly waited for the order. Although the enemy cavalry had not yet begun to rush, the pressure still came to their faces and looked at the other officers and soldiers. Their faces, even they can see the arrogance on the faces of the officers and soldiers, but for their Xing Tianjun, they are also rarely defeated. With the same pride, they are not inferior to the Guanning army opposite, so all the soldiers will not show tension at this time, but also become After calming down, each of them also straightened up their chests, raised their chins high, and quietly began to wait for the other party's impact.

"Start loading!" Luo Li roared harshly in the left phalanx.

Then the officers of each fireman also shouted loudly. At the same time, Li Shuanzhu, who was in the third battalion of the right wing phalanx, also began to give the same order. Then he saw the fireman in front of the phalanx collectively take a few steps forward and approached the fence in front of the array. He only heard a sound. After that, hundreds of firearms put the bird gun on their shoulders on the ground, neatly took out the paper shell ammunition from the waist skin, and began to fill it silently.

The flag of the Chinese army waved, and the bronze horn also began to be blown by the trumpet hand. After listening to it, Situ Liang, who lined up behind the battle, smiled, turned the horse's head, and shouted at the soldiers of the cavalry behind him: "Fuck, boy, the general has an order, let us fight first! This is the first battle of our cavalry in Henan. Don't weaken our prestige. Otherwise, one day when Brother Wang comes back, I will have no face to see him!"

These Xing Tianjun cavalry suddenly laughed. They immediately tightened the peas under the horse's belly one by one, and finally checked the weapons on the saddle. Then they turned over the horses one after another. With the long roar of Situ Liang, they began to urge the sitting mount, slowly. He accelerated and made a detour towards the left wing.

At this time, the three-pound guns on the slope behind them suddenly roared one after another. The muzzle of each gun instantly emitted a dazzling flame. The huge roar suddenly sounded all over the battlefield, and the blazing projectile came out of the gun. The lightning flew in front of the two armies.

The people who stood behind the array were shocked by the sudden sound of gunfire at this time. Even if they were scared to sit on the ground, their eyes widened like dirt and shouted one by one for a long time.

"My mother! This cannon is like thunder! It made my heart tremble!"

"Good play! Haha! Look, look, it's hit! Haha! I hit it!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the front of the two armies. They saw that the two armies were surrounded by the group of gunners who were busy preparing to unload the tiger squat gun. More than a dozen projectiles fell on the ground one after another, a ball of smoke and dust, and two shells fell directly into the crowd, even if they hit a pack. The gun's horse, the unlucky horse, even if it was beaten, turned into a ball of flesh and blood and flew out.

This is not the matter. There are still a few shells that simply landed in front of the officers and soldiers. After the shells landed, they immediately rebounded and continued to maintain the huge forward energy. They crashed into the officers and soldiers one after another. Looking at the officers and soldiers, they suddenly looked like invisible iron plows. Several bloody alleys were ploughed among them, and everything that stood in front of them was suddenly ruthlessly torn by them, making the group of officers and soldiers scream, and the frightened horse hissing bitterly, desperately breaking free from the reins of the hands, and jumping around in front of the battle.

This group of gunners of Guanning Army never expected that the cannons of the Xing Tianjun would be so far away, so sharp and so accurate. They had never suffered such a loss. In the past, they calmly fired at the thief army, watching the thief army being torn up and overturned under their gunfire, but today they He became the first victim of this war and watched the robe and their horses turn into broken flesh beside them. How could these Guanning Army's gunners withstand this blow? They suddenly messed up.

"Replace it quickly! Reload! Aim at me and beat these grandchildren fiercely! What a bullshit, Ningjun, they are in front of us! Who hit that shot? Why didn't you hit your fucking crotch? After 20 steps, did the gun captain grow up eating pig food? Or did you aim with piyan? Aim at me! ..." An officer of the artillery team held a small red flag with an excited face, staring at the landing point of the shells on the battlefield, shouting for orders while observing the landing point and cursing loudly.

These gunners moved nervously but orderly and quickly. Some people were responsible for pushing the retreating turret forward, some immediately operated the turret and began to wipe the turret. Some people held the packaged ammunition next to the muzzle, just waiting for the ammunition to be filled into the turret again.

Xiao Tianjian sat on the horse and watched the effect of this round of shelling. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a little smile. The gunners of Xing Tianjun have completely grown up in such a long period of war and strict training. Most of the shells hit in this round of shells basically did not deviate too far from the target. The hit accuracy has been greatly improved compared with the past. In this way, the artillery can really provide effective fire suppression and support for the array.

However, it makes him regret that it does not bring more powerful six-pound and eight-pound cannons this time. If these two cannons are pulled, the practical flowering shells will be more effective. It is estimated that this round of shelling alone can basically break up the artillery of these officers and soldiers, but even so, this Guanning Army's artillery The team was still completely chaotic, and the frightened horse was running everywhere. The officers and soldiers were also in a panic, which could not become a threat at least in a short time.

Looking at the flash of the cannons on the slope after the Xing Tianjun's array, as well as the smoke spewed smoke and the dust of the projectile landing, and then looking at the scene of flesh and blood flying in his artillery team, Zu Kuan and his soldiers involuntarily took a step back slightly. Originally, in their opinion, even if Xing Tianjun had a few cannons. It can only be disruptive and interfere with the rush of their cavalry. In this case, the threat to the cavalry is actually not big, but they didn't expect that the thieves' artillery would be so far away, and it was so accurate. As soon as they got angry, they immediately hit their artillery. In the past, they took these. They came to bombard the thief army with the tiger squatting artillery. Unexpectedly, their artillery team became the first victim of this war today.

"Grandma's! Let the artillery withdraw! It seems that I don't need them this time! Don't be ashamed of me here again. Hit the drum and let the two teams in front rush up directly!" Zu Kuan roared angrily on the horse's back.

Suddenly, the drums of the officers and soldiers rang again. After the officers and soldiers of the artillery who were beaten and were given such orders to retreat, they hurriedly gathered the horse and rushed to the rear with the horse like an amnesty.

But before they had time to turn around and run back, the cannons of the Xing Tianjun on the slope roared again. This time, the shells were more accurate. Almost half of the shells fell in front of the artillery, and then jumped like a death sickle to sweep the officer's artillery. Suddenly, there were more people. In front of these shells, they turned into flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the officers' artillery team shouted hiss. One by one, they didn't care about the robes that fell to the ground, and their desperate scrups retreated towards this array.

The other two teams of officers and cavalry were ordered at the same time. While urging the war horses with sharp surprise to the thief's artillery, they roared and cheered themselves up. Although the shelling of the Xingtian Army just now made their artillery not unfold and suffered a small setback, after all, this group of Guanning army is still a veteran soldiers who has been in the battlefield, not Ordinary officers and soldiers are comparable. Once they are ordered to move forward, they still show their courage. They rush forward one after another and gradually accelerate. A piece of dust rises behind them, and the windy wind begins to roll up in two ways towards Xing Tianjun.

At the same time, Situ Liang also led his cavalry to accelerate on the left wing, and also hit the officer cavalry led by Zu Kui fiercely without hesitation.
