Chapter 54 The Battle of the Two Powers 10
As soon as more than a dozen three-pound cannons in Luoyang began to enter the range, the commander shouted loudly.
The roaring solid shells fell one after another, some fell directly in the crowd of the hre, and some fell in front of the shield wall pushed flat like a wall, and then bounced up and continued to fly forward, opening a mouth on the shield wall, and made a bloody alley in the crowd.
With such a dense formation, there is no better target than this situation. The gunners of the artillery team threw off their cotton-padded jackets one by one and became busy around their beloved cannons.
Clearing, repositioning, loading, aiming... A series of actions are almost carried out in accordance with the standard exercise. Although they are nervous, they are in an orderly manner. They shoot again and again, waving the sickle of death and harvesting life.
And the Luoyang soldiers, under such shelling, trembled one by one, asking for God's blessing. Don't let them touch these hot shells, but the god of luck seems to go home and sleep now. There is no time to take care of them at all. Almost every shell has to harvest one or several shells. A life.
The injured soldiers lay in a pool of blood, exhausted all their strength, made an inhuman sad scream, and a mutilated body fell on their way forward.
Before they could reach a hundred steps in front of the Xingtian Army, some soldiers who were scared to pee in their pants began to leave the team one after another, crying and fleeing to the back with infinite fear.
Liu Dapan stared at the tragic situation in front of him, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. They didn't know. It turned out that in their opinion, there were powerful but clumsy artillery. Today, in the hands of the thief army, it was made so fast. The thief army didn't know how to do it. How could it be so fast. Speed loading, and at the same time, can be aimed so accurately that almost every shell did not deviate from the formation of the officers and soldiers. He was even secretly glad that he did not personally lead the troops forward today, but stayed behind to supervise the battle. Otherwise, he did not know whether he had fallen like those soldiers at this time. In a pool of blood.
Seeing that some soldiers had begun to escape back, he turned around and peeked at Zu Kuan under the banner of the Chinese army behind him. He was looking at him with cold eyes, so he gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist knife from his waist, and shouted at the soldiers who were fleeing back: "Get back to me!" If anyone dares to come here, he will blame me for turning his face ruthlessly! Come on! Stop them and shoot arrows for me!!"
More than 30 of Liu Dapan's family agreed loudly at this time, and opened a row after the array. They opened their bows one by one. After putting on the arrows, they creaked open the bow string.
"Don't shoot arrows! Mr. Liu Qian, spare his life! ......”
These fleeing soldiers waved their hands while running, howling loudly and begging Liu Dapan not to shoot arrows and spare their lives.
Liu Dapan can't take care of so much now. Seeing that these defeated soldiers have approached him, he suddenly waved his waist knife forward and roared loudly, "Let go of the arrow!"
After hearing the order, these diners loosened the bow string without saying a word, and saw a shower of arrows flying out and falling into the defeated soldiers.
Seven or eight soldiers who ran in the front of the defeated soldiers screamed and pricked their heads on the ground one after another, screaming and scolding angrily. The defeated soldiers behind immediately stopped their footsteps and stared at the same robes who fell to the ground.
"If you turn around and go back, you will die ahead! If you dare to turn back, they will be the end you are waiting for! Get back!" Liu Dapan roared with red eyes.
These scattered soldiers saw that there was no way to retreat, so they had to curse and resist the fear in their hearts, and turned around and rushed forward again.
The shell kept beating the row in front of the array into pieces, and the people who carried the shield were immediately tore it up. However, the officers and soldiers who had been forced to this level could only grit their teeth and persist. Although the shells were terrible, they did not dare to disperse. Just now, they also saw the strength of the Xing Tianjun's platoon and always thought It will be safer to hide behind the bamboo basket. Once it disperses, they will lose the cover of the bamboo basket, so they would rather gather together and strengthen a group of courage than dare to disperse easily under the shelling of the Xingtian Army.
Looking at these officers and soldiers who were bombarded, Xiao Tianjian also shook his head a little. The officers who commanded this army were really stupid. When he saw the fierce artillery fire of the Xing Tianjun, the best choice was to let his men disperse as much as possible. In this way, it is difficult to get something at such a distance. Effectively reduce killing and injury, but these idiots would rather be beaten to death in a group, but they dare not disperse. This is simply letting the gunners of the Xing Tianjun hit the target.
He really has no interest in paying attention to the performance of this officer army. His main attention has shifted to the two Guanning cavalry with two wings. Compared with this group of soldiers, although the number of Guanning cavalry on both wings is not large, the threat to them is relatively greater, Situ Liang He has been invited to fight twice, and he wants to lead his troops to kill, either to contain the two-winged cavalry, or to attack the soldiers of the group of the Hate Integrated Regiment from the flank, but they were all rejected by Xiao Tianjian.
At this time, when he saw that the officers and cavalry began to rush from the two wings again, Situ Liang ran to Xiao Tianjian and asked Xiao Tianjian to fight, "General, let our cavalry go out!" You can't watch their cavalry show off their power!"
Xiao Tianjian took a look at Situ Liang and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that there is no battle for you? You don't have to fight now! Give me a good rest. When it's time to let you go out, I'll let you go out! Don't forget what your mission is! It's not for you to fight with the enemy. We can't afford it! Your most important task is to pursue after the enemy's defeat, not to do this! "Shit back!"
Situ Liang looked at the lively battle in front of him, but he did not dare to disobey Xiao Tianjian's order. He had to turn around and return to the cavalry behind the battle and shouted, "Song Song's horse's belly belt, let's rest first!" The general said that we will fight later, and there is no need for us to fight now!"
The guys of the cavalry suddenly became like a discouraged ball. After booing one after another, they loosened the horse's belly belt...
The Luoyang soldiers who were beaten up wanted to escape from the battlefield, but behind them was Liu Dapan, who was personally supervising the battle. He ran back and was shot dead. Some people wanted to escape from the two wings, but Guan Ning's army was very immoral. A group of cavalry was at the mercy of their wings, saying that it was to cover their two wings. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are monitoring them, and they can't escape from both sides.
So although this group of Luoyang soldiers were frightened, there was nothing they could do. They were also dead when they stepped forward, and there was no place to escape, so they had to grit their teeth cruelly and no longer think so much. They cursed loudly one by one, cursing the opposite Xing Tianjun and cursing him. Liu Dapan behind them cursed those Guan Ningjun. In short, they scolded everything they could. In this way, it aroused some of their fierceness. They began to bow their heads, followed the front of them, and accelerated their pace towards the Xing Tianjun's array.
A row of firearms were ready at this time, lit the fire rope again, carefully blew the fire rope, and stared at the officers and soldiers who slowly pushed in.
An officer shouted in the battle, "Don't fire first!" Wait until they get closer! Damn, do these idiots think they can stop our birds with these rags in their hands? Give them a great look later!"
So the generals of the Xingtian Army held their breath and stood there quietly, as if these officers and soldiers did not exist at all. They just waited for the officers to order fire. Until the officers and soldiers had approached 50 steps, some officers and archers also began to hold their bows from the heads of the shields in the front row to the Xingtian army. The array of arrows scattered in front of the Xingtian Army. Some arrows have begun to fall into the Xingtian Army array. Fortunately, the armor of the Xingtian Army is complete. Although it is not excellent, it can still play a good protective role for this kind of shooting arrows. Even if some soldiers are hit by arrows, they can't be seriously injured. At most, the arrow was a muffled hum. As long as the injury was not serious, the soldiers raised their hands and folded the arrow poles and continued to stand in the battle.
"Fire..."
Rows of impatient firemen who had been waiting for a long time, after hearing this order, immediately raised their legs forward and went to the back of the wooden fence to lift their birds.
With the sound of rows of birds again, the bullets suddenly hit the shield of the officers and soldiers like a rainstorm, and suddenly hit these rowan wood chips flying randomly. At a distance of more than 40 steps, Xing Tianjun's bird bullets can already exert great penetrating power. Some projectiles hit the rowan, even if the rowan is pierced, and penetrated. The bullet still maintained a certain lethality, and hit heavily on the officers and soldiers carrying the shield. The shield hand who was shot screamed and fell in front of the battle. Immediately, the neat shield wall was like the teeth of an old woman. Gaps appeared one by one, exposing the officers and soldiers behind.
At this time, there is only one step left. The officers and soldiers knew that they were unlucky, and fear had squeezed out their last bit of courage, so they didn't know which officer and soldier roared: "Brothers, rush up! Forget the dead ball! Officials don't treat us as people, and the thieves also treat us like pigs and dogs! Instead of being so cowardly, it's better to fight for the ball! It's better than waiting to be beaten like this! Kill it! Killing one is enough, and we will earn one by killing two!"
With this agitation, there were really a lot of officers and soldiers who were forced to burst out with a trace of blood courage, followed by a roar and carried the shield, shouting and holding their single knife like a tide.
The firemen of Xing Tianjun kept coming forward and firing, filling them, constantly pouring bullets on the oncoming officers and soldiers, and knocked the officers and soldiers to the ground one by one, but as more and more officers and soldiers who were driven crazy rushed up, gradually such a platoon Gun shooting could not stop their charge. After paying a considerable price, some officers and soldiers really rushed to the first wooden fence with their shields. Some people stepped on the iron thistthis on the ground when they rushed through this short distance. Immediately, the soles of their feet were pierced and rolled to the ground, but then He was trampled under his feet by the officers and soldiers who surged up behind him. After screaming a few times, he was trampled to death on the ground.
