Chapter 53 Urgent Shooting
"Deputy Dutong! The officers and soldiers have entered 300 steps! Is it time for the artillery to prepare for action? An officer asked Diao Zheng, who was sitting under a low wall.
Diao Zheng shook his head and shook the dust on the iron helmet and the dirt falling from his shoulders. Just now, the officers and soldiers bombarded him, and a low wall near him collapsed. He almost buried him in the earth and killed and injured his three guards, but Diao Zheng was not injured.
Diao Zheng stretched out his head and said, "Don't worry! Our cannons are small, and there are not as many officers and soldiers. Don't expose your strength now! Otherwise, even if you open fire together, you won't be able to kill many officers and soldiers. It's better to get closer and fight, so that you can not only kill more officers and soldiers, but also give us some time to rush out of the array! Pass the order and let them prepare! They are all filled with grape bombs, and then set fire to fire, and give the officers and soldiers a cruel one! In addition, the rest of the brothers also began to prepare and prepare the Thunderbolt! Choose a hundred people who die and bring more Thunderbolt bullets! Come with me later and completely defeat this group of officers and soldiers!
The generals of all companies and teams have remembered that we only have this opportunity to defeat the officers and soldiers. Once we go out, regardless of casualties, we will fight with me to attack the enemy's army once, entangle the officers and soldiers as much as possible, and don't give them the opportunity to fire! Otherwise, we won't have a chance to do it again! Do you remember it clearly? If anyone wets my pants before the battle, don't blame me for my surname Diao and don't know him!
In addition, no matter who you are, as long as you find someone trying to escape or mess up, you can kill him on the spot! If you go out in this battle, you will hurt everyone! Anyone who finds an injury on the back after the war will be killed without mercy! Pass the order!" Diao Zheng rubbed his hand, which was a little frozen and tied his sharp waist knife to his hand with a piece of cloth. Unless his arm was broken, the knife would not leave his hand.
Even if the messenger soldiers conveyed Diao Zheng's order, many officers and swordsmen also followed the same. They tied the single knife to his right hand with the cloth they brought with them. They were wrapped tightly and were ready to fight to the end.
At the same time, more than a hundred soldiers who volunteered to be dead men gathered under the low wall with heavy armor. Each of them wore two pieces of iron armor, which almost wrapped them into mobile live tanks. It was difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot them, and most of these dead men were the strongest people in the army. Others collected the army. The Thunderbolt bullets in the middle were handed over to them. Each of them carried at least four or five Thunderbolt bullets. A fire fold was prepared in the hands. At the same time, a single knife for melee combat was also matched with a single knife on his waist, and their faces showed a resolute look.
When the Xing Tianjun encounters a huge battle, he often uses dare-death men to fight back, which has become a common practice. Whenever a dare-and-death man dies in the battlefield, the pension given to their families in the army often doubles after the event. At the same time, the dare-and-death men who come back alive will be promoted much faster than ordinary soldiers in the future, so the soldiers in the army Many pawns are willing to act as die-dead men, and this life is also worth it. This time, in order to ensure the defeat of the officers and soldiers in the First World War, Diao Zheng once again selected a hundred decisive men in advance and made preparations in advance.
The officers and soldiers are still arrogantly pressing towards the Xingtian camp. In the broken camp bombarded by the officers and soldiers in front of them, except for seeing some long guns and flags shaking, basically few figures can be seen. The whole Xingtian Army's camp seems to be very Silence, the experienced generals felt that this situation was a little abnormal, so they were a little nervous, but the vast majority of officers and soldiers thought that the thief army had been frightened by the fierce bombardment of the cannons and rockets of the officers and soldiers just now, and dared not come out to fight, and may even have been killed and shot. So it seems very relaxed.
"Two hundred steps! You can use cannons to dry them!" An officer of the battalion's artillery team asked Diao Zheng for instructions. At this time, he was so anxious that he was sweating a little.
After Diao Zheng stretched out his head and looked at it, he nodded and gritted his teeth and ordered loudly, "Do it! Three rounds of rapid shooting! Give me a hard beating! The rest of the people are going out with me!"
The officer of the artillery jumped up and roared, "Push the gun! Fight!"
At the gaps in the low wall of the Xing Tianjun, the gunners who had been ready for a long time immediately jumped up and pushed the gun racks to the gap of the low wall. When they dug to build a wall, the officers of the artillery ordered the people to deliberately leave a gap in some low walls. From a distance, it seemed that the low wall was not. It seems a little shabby that it can be completed in time. After being bombarded by the officers and soldiers, it seems that the low wall in the south is much more broken, but in essence, these gaps are reserved for the three-pound cannon.
A three-pound gun then appeared in these gaps, and the black hole of nearly twenty three-pound guns quickly pointed to the troops coming from the opposite side.
The officers and soldiers suddenly saw a movement in the enemy's camp. When they saw the muzzle of a cannon suddenly appear, many firearmed archers walking in front of them were scared to death and stopped involuntarily, which immediately made the officer's attack team a halt and seemed a little chaotic.
Most officers and soldiers did not expect that the thieves had so many artillery, and when they were shot just now, the thieves actually calmed down and didn't let these cannons fire back. They didn't rise until now. The distance of less than 200 steps was the time when the cannons were powerful. As Ming officers and soldiers, they knew this. So many people are a little panicked.
And the generals of the army are also aware of the bad things, but this is the end of the matter. It's impossible to run. Behind them, there is Gao Qiqian, the director, who is staring. If they escape from the battle, they will definitely not be able to please them well when they go back. Therefore, these military generals can only bravely and shout loudly and rush up their hands. Reduce casualties as much as possible.
But at this time, the gunners behind the officers and soldiers could not see this scene. They waited for their cannons to cool down one by one, watching the officers and soldiers of the brigade press it up. They couldn't help jumping behind and shouting to cheer for these officers and soldiers. However, they didn't know that their so-called robes had arrived at this time. Life and death are on the line.
After the three-pound cannon is pushed into place, the muzzle is flat at such a distance. Basically, there is no need to aim much, because there are officers and soldiers everywhere on the whole front, and they are also loaded with grape bombs. They can kill a lot of officers and soldiers wherever they hit. In addition, before they push the cannon out, they have already completed the installation. Fill in, the officer of the artillery team roared, "Fire!"
Twenty three-pound cannons spewed flames almost at the same time, and the ground even shook violently. Then there was a roar, and a thick blue smoke quickly rose at the low wall of the Xing Tianjun.
The grape bomb is actually a large-grained loose bomb. It is wrapped in advance, which is a bit like a grape string. Before loading the grape bomb, in order to ensure the air tightness of the gun, it is also necessary to press a three-pound solid bullet wrapped in linen in the gunbore in advance. Once fired, it will be extremely powerful at medium and close range.
Each package of grape shells has forty or fifty lead pills larger than the size of a thumb. Twenty cannons fire together, nearly a thousand lead bullets fly out together, and these cannons have set their own firing angles in advance, so once the fire is opened, there is almost no dead angle on the front of the whole line of defense. These cannons are almost like a Like a super broom, it swept through the front of the whole battlefield.
The officers and soldiers walking in the front were very miserable. Even if they were full of blood and screamed wildly, they were beaten upside down and fell to the ground heavily. The shot were full of blood holes. Many people were interrupted before falling to the ground, and they couldn't even scream, even a few. The team was immediately shot and became a victim, and more than a hundred people were overturned at once. Moreover, those solid cannonballs still jumped forward in the crowd, opening up bloody alleys in the array of the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers who passed along the way were stuck and died. When they were injured when they met, they fell down a lot.
After the era enters the era of firearms, the old-style intensive battle array offensive formation is no longer suitable. If the officers and soldiers of the attacking side adopt a loose offensive formation, then this round-shot volley will be much less killed for them, but these Guanning troops have not dealt with the Xing Tianjun seriously, so Even the coach Gao Qiqian did not know the real combat effectiveness and equipment level of Xing Tianjun, so they underestimated the enemy and took a dense queue to advance, which turned out to be an excellent target for Xing Tianjun's shelling.
"Reload! Reload quickly and shoot quickly! Hurry up!" The officers of the artillery did not look at the effect of the opposite round of shelling at all. After a row of guns were fired, they jumped and roared.
The gunners of the artillery team did not look at the results on the opposite side. In short, this gun will definitely not fall in the open space. There will definitely be many officers and soldiers, so they just need to complete the reload as soon as possible and fire the gun again.
The rapid shooting is a continuous firing at the fastest speed, so according to the regulations, some gunners have been ready to grab the clear gun. The sound of the gun did not wait for the smoke to dissipate, so they rushed up and poked the gun into the gun barrel, and wiped the gun barrel twice back and forth. In addition, some gunners had already held the wrapped medicine bag and waited for the cannon. At the mouth, the medicine bag was filled into the ward, and then the loader loaded the solid bullet into the ward. The gunner immediately filled the position and pounded the shell and medicine bag hard into the deepest part of the ward with the turret...
In a word, all the gunners almost gave full play to the best results of their usual training. The movements were dizzying, and they cooperated with each other, and quickly completed the reloading almost like a trick.
"Filled...Filled..." A series of roars of gun commanders immediately sounded on the defense line.
"Fire!" The gunnery officer waved the little red flag again, and the earth shook again...
There was almost no interval between the three rounds of rapid shooting, so they started one after another. Originally, after the officers and soldiers were shot in the first round, some generals roared at the commander's army and continued to charge. In their impression, the thief army also used light red cannons, which was very slow to load. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the thief army to reload, they could By rushing into the distance fired by the archers, they may even make the thieves have no time to fire again, so they rushed to the low wall of the thieves and did not give the thieves a chance to fire again.
But they were wrong this time. The speed of reloading by Xing Tianjun's gunner was at least three times faster than the speed of reloading in their knowledge. Before they recovered from the shock and launched the charge, the second round of volley began again.
This time, hundreds of officers and soldiers were knocked to the ground. As soon as the officers and soldiers were about to charge, they didn't run a few steps, so they bumped back in rows like they hit the wall. When the officers and soldiers who were beaten upside down, they were sprayed with blood fog, and many people fell to the ground and died. Even if they were not dead, they lay down. The ground rolled with pain and made an inhuman howling sound.
