Chapter 141 The Roar of the God of War

As his long gun fell, a loud trumpet suddenly sounded in the array. On the Redstone Mountain on the left side of the array, after hearing the trumpet sounded, it instantly spewed out flames, and a mass of gunpowder smoke rose, and then the huge gunfire roared on the ground like thunder. Come on.

Huang Shengqiang stood in the artillery camp on the hillside and roared, "Fire! Fire! Fire! ......”

The six-pound and eight-pound cannons densely arranged on the hillside followed his roar, and a door was ignited. The huge recoil made the turret vibrate violently and retreat a few steps away. Then many gunners swarmed up, struggling to push the heavy turrets, reset them again, and then fly. The speed began to be reloaded.

A shell of smoke crossed the sky, with the ferocious smile of death, and heavily hit the army array of the officers and soldiers who were also at the foot of the mountain. First, with great impact, they opened a bloody alley in the army array, and then exploded after losing their kinetic energy, giving the surrounding officers and soldiers It was torn into pieces on the spot. Of course, there were many dumb bullets, and a small number of shells exploded in the air. However, these volley shells that flew to the head of the officers and exploded brought greater damage to the officers and soldiers. The shrapnel swept over the top of the heads of the officers and soldiers like a rainstorm, and immediately cut their bodies in an instant. Their lives were harvested.

This is the first time that Xing Tianjun has used flower bombs on such a large scale in the war, and this time the position of Xiao Tianjian's selected artillery array also happens to be on the hillside of the left-wing Hongshi Mountain where the two armies are in array. As long as the officers and soldiers come to fight, they must be in the foot of the mountain, and their position of their formation is also in the mountain. Within the maximum effective range of these six-pound and eight-pound guns.

The artillery range of Xing Tianjun is far more than the range of all kinds of artillery commonly equipped in the officers. At present, except for the dead and heavy red cannons with a small amount of equipment, the generally equipped general cannons, Dalian pearl cannons (Fran machine) and other messy artillery can't hit such a long distance at all. If it is Huang Degong who has not suffered the loss of the Xingtian Army's cannon, it is impossible to predict in advance, so in his opinion, it should be safe to stop hundreds of steps away from the hillside. That's why he is so big at the foot of the mountain. This is exactly after Xiao Tianjian personally checked the terrain in this area in advance. A trap set for Huang Degong. War pursues the right time, place and people, and it is full of deception. It is not about the morality of war. The most important thing is to win. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian likes to do something about the enemy, and today he did it again. , making full use of the terrain advantages here, and Huang Degong, the officers and soldiers, did not understand the advantages of Xing Tian's artillery, so they tried their best to cheat.

And after the repeated test of a group of craftsmen in Shuangfengzhai Camp, Xing Tianjun has already overcome the difficulties of flowering bombs, and the six-pound and eight-pound cannons in the army are generally equipped with this kind of explosive flowering bomb. Although it has been used in the war before, today is the first time for the Xing Tian Army. The concentrated use of this kind of flowering bullet on a scale can be said to be amazing, and it immediately achieved very good results. Even if it is because of technical restrictions that have caused a lot of dumb fire phenomena, it is also a huge killing damage to Huang Degong.

The power of more than 30 large-caliber artillery fires in unison is also a very terrible scene. The whole Redstone Mountain was like a volcanic eruption, and suddenly the array of Huang Degong was filled with smoke and blood.

Huang Degong's war horse was also shocked by a nearly missed bullet. The air wave generated by the explosion even rushed to Huang Degong, which immediately overturned the family around him. The war horse hissed wildly, and the front hoof jumped high. Fortunately, Huang Degong immediately worked hard and immediately tightened up. The horse's abdomen pulled the rein and slapped the horse's ear heavily, which was almost lifted off the horse's back on the spot. Fortunately, the explosive power of the flowering bombs in this era is far less than that of the grenades of later generations, and there are relatively few fragments. Otherwise, this cannon may send Huang Degong. He drove to Hexi on the spot. When he finally circled his horse, he looked around in horror. The array that had just been sorted out, under the rapid shelling of Xing Tianjun, even if it was in chaos.

Only then did Huang Degong understand why Xing Tianjun arrayed his army in this inconspicuous small place. It turned out that the other party had already dug a pit and waited for him to lead his troops to jump. What scared him more was that he did not expect that this thief army had so many cannons, and these cannons should obviously belong to Hongyi cannons. The range is far and accurate, and he also uses flower bombs. As a general from the Beijing camp, Huang Degong has seen this kind of red cannon, and he has also seen flower bombs, but he didn't expect this kind of powerful thing that is regarded as the most important weapon of the country by the Ming Dynasty. Xing Tianjun actually has it, and the number is still the same. There were so many that he immediately let Huang Degong understand that he was unlucky this time.

"Stabilize! Order the troops to stabilize, fire cannons, and fire back quickly! Don't mess up! Hit the drum and push forward!" Although Huang Degong was shocked, as a famous general from Beijing at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Degong immediately made the right choice.

Although the power of artillery in this era is far less than that of later generations, even if flowering bombs are used, because of the limited power of black gunpowder, the explosive power is not very much. Even if it really causes casualties, for more than 10,000 officers and soldiers and horses, if the officers and soldiers are well trained and have excellent psychological quality, this The killing and injury caused by the bombardment is only a dime, but it is very unfortunate that the officers and soldiers do not have such a psychological quality. They have never been bombarded with such a cannon, so the casualties are not as big as expected, but such a violent sudden shelling still caused a considerable shock to these officers and soldiers. As a result, the officers and soldiers quickly showed chaos after the shelling began.

At this time, the shelling of the thief's army has caused chaos to the officers and the army. If you can't control the chaos of the army now and retreat in a hurry, the battle will be directly defeated. Xing Tianjun only needs to take advantage of their panic and retreat to urge the army to cover up, then the result of this battle will be for his officers and soldiers. It was very miserable, so even if Huang Degong was frightened, he quickly made the right response.

When the panicked officer heard the sound of drums in the array, he hurriedly looked at the Chinese army and saw Huang Degong's flag waving. He ordered the whole army not only not to retreat, but also to push forward and fight against the opposite thief army. So Zhang Da, the guerrilla general of the Gwangju Army on the left wing, was established even if he broke his mouth. He scolded: "Keep moving forward?" Isn't this looking for death? Huang Degong is crazy! This is to fill in my life! Leave him alone and withdraw! Hurry up and withdraw. If you leave late, it's all over!"

Zhang guerrilla is not a general like Huang Degong. He is as timid as a mouse. The guerrilla general also got money and clapping horses. This is also the reason why he was ordered to help Ruzhou until Huang Degong led his troops from Jiangbei to Runing Mansion, and he was slow. The reason why he slowly led the Gwangju soldiers to meet with Huang Degong in Runing Mansion was that he did not dare to move forward alone at all. If he was faster, although he could not be said to save Ruzhou, at least he could rush to Baofeng to strengthen the defensive strength of Baofeng County before the Xingtian army attacked Baofeng, at least not to let Xingtian. The army took Baofeng County again.

After today's formation, as soon as he saw the lineup of the opposite Xing Tianjun, he was a little numb. When he was thinking about whether they could win this battle, Xing Tianjun began to shell them on the hillside, and several shells also fell into his army, killing and injuring dozens of his officers and soldiers on the spot. Although the loss was not great, this guerrilla Zhang had long been scared out of courage. At this time, Huang Degong ordered to push forward against the artillery fire of the thief army, and Zhang Dacheng immediately ignored the order to retreat.

Soldiers bear a bear, a bear nest, the main general is like this, don't expect the officers and soldiers below to be brave. Hearing Zhang Dacheng's order to retreat, these Gwangju soldiers, who had been numb for a long time, shouted in panic, and began to swarming and retreat without looking back.

Three thousand Gwangju soldiers, you pushed me and squeezed together, scrambling to escape from the battlefield like a bomb camp, which immediately caused greater chaos in the whole front of the officers and army.

Huang Degong turned his head and saw the movement of the left-wing Gwangju soldiers. Suddenly, he almost vomited blood. As a general who followed his orders, Zhang Dacheng ran away brazenly without obeying the order. This battle seemed to be a big trouble.

And the right wing of his army is the officers and soldiers of Runing Mansion. These officers and soldiers are not much better than the Gwangju soldiers. The main target of the Xingtian Army's shelling is concentrated on them. The general who was hesitating whether to follow Huang Degong's order to move forward turned his head and saw that the left-wing Gwangju soldiers had retreated. He immediately ordered to turn around and retreat, and in an instant, he took the right-wing officers and soldiers to collapse on their own.

At this moment, Huang Degong was angry. He sat on the horse and cursed, claiming that he was going to kill these two wastes. This battle was really impossible to fight. Looking at the Xing Tianjun array on the opposite side, he took advantage of the opportunity to fire, he had begun to step on the drums like a wall and push them flat in the direction of the officers and soldiers.

A clump of shining long guns began to be flattened down like a forest, and every soldier of the Xing Tianjun flashed with fanatical eyes in their eyes, holding their breath and taking big strides step by step forward.

At the same time, the firemen in the army, while controlling their pace and acting with the army, they also began to remove the firemen from their shoulders and began to load them in the marching room, and the firemen in the marchingmen were a compulsory subject in training. Although some new recruits were a little nervous about the battle, they loaded them. It was a little busy, but most of the firearms still completed the loading relatively smoothly, or lit the fire rope, or pulled open the machine head stuck with flint, and carried the prepared firearms on their shoulders again. Hu Biao stepped on the drums and pushed towards the army.

Poor Huang Degong has the intention to make contributions, but his men are not strong. Running one by one, his legs are so scared that his legs are weak. He refused to meet him and fight with the Xing Tianjun. Seeing that the two wings collapse by themselves, if his main force under his command comes up again, it will be in vain. Huang Degong can't help it. I could only sigh and plucked the horse and ordered, "Withdraw! ......”

This battle can be said to have determined the fate of the officer army led by Huang Degong at the beginning of the shelling. With the retreat of the officer army, the already chaotic team can be said to have collapsed on the spot, because the officer army is this virtue. As long as there is a collapse, fear will spread infinitely to all. Among the soldiers and horses, this was the case when the north fought against Jiannu. Now in the face of the Xingtian Army, whose equipment and morale are far higher than theirs, the officers and soldiers once again carry forward their fine tradition and have a big collapse.
