Chapter 98 The Battle of Shanhaiguan 4

In this battle, the two armies paid the highest attention to it. Jiannu had suffered the losses of the cannons of the Dazhong Army before, so when he set up the cannon this time, he did not dare to put the cannon too far forward, so it was impossible for the Dazhong Army to directly suppress the opponent's artillery array, so the shelling of both sides was concentrated on the front of the other side. The whole body of the foot army is to test the psychological quality of the opponent's foot army. The artillery fire is like a leather whip, beating the opponent's foot army fiercely. Obviously, the quality of the generals of the Dazhong army is much more than that of Jiannu.

These hundreds of steps are simply a nightmare for the Han soldiers in the Wuzhenchaoha camp under the command of the King of Sanshun. The cannonballs of the Dazhong Army seemed to have eyes, repeatedly cultivated in their crowd. At a distance of more than a hundred steps, they killed and injured at least three or four hundred people of the Jiannu army. Don't underestimate it. This number, in this era, in the artillery era dominated by solid shells, dozens of cannons, can kill and injure so many people from a long distance. Even if the large and medium-sized army uses the most advanced flowering bombs of this era, it is not enough. The flowering bullets of the twelve-pound cannons are only loaded. It goes without saying that the black gunpowder weighs less than two catties, and the blind fire rate is so high, and it is very dangerous when used. Even if it is successfully detonated, the explosive power of such a little black gunpowder is also very limited. The number of shrapnel blown up may not even exceed the grenades of later generations, so don't look at the excitement, but at a distance. In the shelling, it is basically impossible to kill and injure the enemy in large numbers.

Jiannu's heavy artillery looks very powerful, but they all use solid bullets, and the casualties caused to the Dazhong army are much lower. Although it is lively, the number of soldiers lost by the Dazhong army can't even reach three digits. More often, the shelling and psychological deterrence on the battlefield are beyond their actual situation. The lethality.

However, even so, the three traitors, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, were under great pressure. If they hadn't tried their best to suppress their subordinates, they would not have gone to the place where they could exchange fire head-on with the Dazhong army, and their subordinates might have been scattered by the Dazhong army.

"A hundred steps away..." An officer shouted to Luo Li, reporting the distance between the enemy and them.

Luo Li raised his eyebrows. After listening to it, he was unmoved. He just continued to move forward. After entering a distance of a hundred steps, the soldiers on both sides would feel the huge pressure coming from the face, because within a hundred steps, they could already see each other clearly. Although the faces of both of them were the same, this At that time, no one thought that the opposite was their friend.

Even they could see the weapons in each other's hands clearly, so everyone began to nervous involuntarily.

The middle army is at the forefront of their firearms. In this confrontation, it is obvious that the Jiannu side wants to imitate the tactics of their Dazhong Army, fights with firearms, and wants to compete with the Dazhong army. Then the first is the firearms. Therefore, under Luo Li's dispatch, the battalions of his command are firearms. The hands were transferred to the front of the queue, and these firemen were wearing a standard large and medium-sized army chest armor, with a black eight-petal iron helmet on their heads. Everyone carried a black and shiny 12-millimeter flint fire gun with a shoulder support maintained by them on their shoulders, and their right waist was equipped. There is a waterproof cowhide box with a lid, which is filled with packaged paper shell shells, which has long saved a cumbersome plate of fire rope. On the left side of their waist, there is a bayonet with a skin sheath, which can be pulled out and stuck at the front end of the flounce gun at any time, giving them the most basic ability of close combat. In addition to They still carry a backpack with a blanket wrapped in it. In addition, there is a bag of 30 spare paper shell shells in the backpack, which makes them look very capable.

At this time, the knife player's establishment in the Dazhong army is very few, less than one. Moreover, by this time, their responsibilities have also changed greatly. In addition to continuing to equip their single knife and rattan cards, they each At this time, an individual also carries a cloth bag with two or three Thunderbolt cannons. Each person is equipped with a copper tube with a fire fold. Basically, their functions have turned into a projectile. In the training of knife player, in addition to the training of close combat, a throwing training has been added. After all, At present, their Thunderbolt cannons still seem to be a little too heavy. Ordinary people can't throw far without a large amount of training, but this group of knife hands, through the daily non-stop bomb training, can already throw the heavy Thunderbolt cannon 20 steps away, so their existence can be said to be big. Another killer of the Chinese army, no matter who is, will suffer losses in their hands.

As for the long gunners, they are very depressed now. They are all temporarily placed at the back of the queue. Since the full popularization of bayonets, their importance has begun to decrease. Generally speaking, they rarely get a chance to fight. The firemen are almost able to replace them, but this The long gunmen of the era have their own advantages, especially when they fight against the enemy cavalry, they can't be completely replaced. Therefore, the large and medium army still retains their staff for the time being. Can it be their turn to fight today? These long gunners are not very confident in their hearts, so many long gunners have begun to At the request of the officer, he was also transferred to a fireman. In that case, they would have a lot more opportunities to make achievements in battle.

"Seventy steps..." The officer responsible for observing the enemy's distance once again reported the enemy's distance to Luo Li.

"Stop moving forward! Get ready for the fire!" After Luo Li heard this, he finally gave the order this time.

The trumpet player who followed Luo Li immediately raised the bronze horn and hurriedly blew out two long and two short horns. After the drummers walking at the front of the queue heard the trumpet, they immediately knocked out three rapid drums in a row, and they immediately stopped moving forward and their right foot fell heavily on the ground.

As the drummer's drums stopped, everyone in the whole queue of the Dazhong Army immediately stopped moving after three steps in place. Their stop movements were neat and uniform, without a trace of scattering. Everyone's footsteps were like a person, and the battlefield suddenly became much quieter.

The officer in charge of commanding the fireman immediately pulled out his waist knife and roared loudly, "Get down your shoulder! Start loading!"

After getting this order, all the firemans put down the flounce gun on his shoulder, and put the shoulder pestle on the ground. No one talked nonsense. He immediately took out the paper shell bullet from the leather box at his waist. In a clear sound, they began their first battle. After loading, in a short time, they pulled out the stick from under the barrel, inserted it into the gun, and pounded the ammunition hard...

After loading, all the firemen raised their guns with their hands upright to show that they had finished loading. At this time, the slaves on the opposite side stopped moving forward as soon as they saw the Dazhong army, and this distance also entered the distance that they could reach, so those slaves The generals of Wuzhenchaoha Battalion also shouted loudly, causing the slaves under their command to stop moving forward.

However, compared with the formation of the military industry in Dazhong, their formation is much more pitiful. Although under the strong rebuke and adjustment of the military generals, their front line is still bent like earthworms, and the angry slaves shouted and restarted the whole team, wanting to rise again. The code is not weaker than that of the Dazhong Army.

All the firearms of the slave soldiers also imitated the large and medium-sized army being arranged to the front of the front line. These slave soldiers and firearms were a little pale. Under the orders of the generals, they also began to be busy loading. They knew very well that at this distance, the projectiles fired by the other party's birds could be made for them. It's a big injury, so unlike the usual practice, they began to be nervous at this time. They were busy loading and loaded with ammunition. As a result, they inevitably made mistakes in a hurry. Either the gunpowder was less or more, but the fireman was unaware of it and kept busy loading.

Compared with the phoencers of the Dazhong Army, although Jiannu has tried his best to collect a lot of bird guns in the past two years, and the Han craftsmen outside the customs have created a batch for them, but the quality of their bird guns is really... Alas! It can't be mentioned that even the Ming army is unwilling to use the birds in the hands of the Ming army or in the arsenal in the city, which shows how the quality is. Although they have recently created a batch of bird spears themselves and the supervision is very strict, after all, most of the craftsmen are in a hurry, and it is impossible to create a good bird spear. Therefore, King Sanshun himself is actually very clear about the guy in their hands, but now that their master asks them to do so, they have no choice but to do so.

This Shanhaiguan War is the first time that the Dazhong army has faced an enemy army with similar tactics and equipment similar to theirs. It is also the first musket duel on this land, so the two armies are a little nervous, but relatively speaking, the situation on the side of the Dazhong army is much better. After all, when they are training Xiao Tianjian was the first to send a group of people to stand in front of the firearms and keep throwing stones at them. At the same time, he ordered the firearms to drop stones in the raindrops and complete the loading. If the stone falls on the head and face and fails to complete the action, he will be hit by a military stick on his buttocks. That kind of training method, let The firemen can be said to be miserable, but the effect is very significant. It greatly exercises their psychological quality in danger, so they can face the enemy's archers or shelling in many times, and can continue to load and stably. This training method has been carried out by the Dazhong Army in an orderly manner. As a tradition, the natural psychological quality of the trained fireman is far higher than that of Jiannu's fireman.

Although the Jiannu army, who painted tigers like cats and learned to walk in Handan, has also set up a large number of Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion equipped with birds, their Han soldiers have never experienced such training. When facing the Dazhong army today, these Jiannu soldiers are a little panicked.

And the bird gun they use is still a fire rope gun. After each loading and firing, they have to ignite the fire rope, and they have to jam the fire rope on the faucet. They carefully blow the fire rope, so that the fire rope cannot be extinguished. Compared with all the flilerons on the side of the Dazhong Army, they look much more clumsy.

So when the Dazhong Army completed the loading, the firemen of Jiannu were still some time before they were ready for launch. After Luo Li looked at the performance of the slave soldiers on the opposite side, he immediately showed a ferocious smile full of contempt and shouted, "Fuck you. Yes!"
