Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 683 Who can match the power of heavy artillery (2)

 The fierce impact crazily tore apart the shield that had just had time to make up for it.

Because of this round of distance adjustment, the three shells almost ran straight into the shield array, and only completed one bounce on the ground before being inserted into the shield array.

Like a raging bull, it tore apart a perfect flat-line shield formation in an instant, then rushed into the formation and stirred it up, completely disrupting the formation.

Amidst the wails, the shield array became incomplete again, and the corpses and mutilated limbs of the Blood Lake were scattered on the ground, looking so hideous and terrifying.

Encountering two rounds of such blows in a row completely interrupted the rhythmic advancement of the entire shield formation, and for a while the entire formation felt a little restless.

The key is that we can't find any means of prevention and resistance. Carrying it like this is just a matter of luck. Who can bear the feeling of a knife hanging on the neck?

Should we continue to advance, or change our formation and spread out?

Obviously, such a dense formation is most conducive to head-on bombardment by the opponent, and anyone who is a little smarter can realize that the Zhou army does not seem to have many heavy artillery.

If the first round of shooting was a test shot and to measure the distance and angle, then it is incredible that the second round of shooting still only had three rounds. There was only one result, that is, the opponent only had three heavy cannons.

Although these two consecutive shellings did cause a lot of chaos to the entire advancing shield formation, the mere three heavy cannons were still not enough to shake the entire formation.

Although the large shield array with more than a hundred wooden shields was destroyed by the bombing, it was quickly replenished to make up for it. Sajiala was shocked but did not change his strategy at the same time. He still followed the existing plan.

Advance.

"Pan Laosan, what the hell are you doing? Concentrate your firepower, take aim, follow Hu Er's bombardment, and use them to open a gap to hit his mother first, and then count every bit..."

Tao Dasheng was already a little angry. He saw two rounds of artillery blasting the gap, but it was quickly filled by the tenacious Jurchens. The gap was only a few breaths of time, but if the fire gun can join in, they can definitely use this gap to fill the gap.

When in confusion, strike the opponent with a blow to increase the damage to the opponent's wounds.

Pan Laosan snorted coldly, "Why panic? If you want to hit, hit it accurately and it will hurt. Hu Er, this round of shooting is more concentrated, so we can take advantage of it!"

The third round of artillery fire arrived as scheduled.

For the Donghai Jurchen soldiers in the first row, they had no choice. They could only carry the big shield, bury their heads, speed up the pace, and secretly pray in their hearts that this shot would not hit them. After all, they were in the first row.

There are still hundreds of large shields on the line, so the possibility of being hit is very slim, only the possibility of being in the middle is greater.

Three artillery fires were fired in unison, once again blasting a jagged gap in the middle and east of the entire shield array. But this time, before the shield arrays on both sides could make up for it, three hundred gunmen had already gathered in place and divided into three groups.

Continuous shooting.

Hundreds of rounds crackled and crackled one after another. This was completely different from the muffled sound of a long-barreled cannon. The smoke was more pungent, but the damage it caused was also greater.

During the short period of time when the entire gap was opened, it encountered three consecutive rounds of fire from the frontal camp.

The Jurchen soldiers in the East China Sea who lost the protection of their big shields had only the thin leather shields and wooden shields in their hands for protection. Facing the firecrackers shooting from their faces, such intensive blows directly hit those behind the gap that they could not hide from.

All the soldiers were defeated.

If we say that the actual casualties caused by the three rounds of shelling were around a hundred soldiers, the casualties caused by this week's gunfire taking advantage of this short gap period were more than 200 casualties.

A formation that is too dense can certainly reduce the strike surface, but once the large shield is lost, the losses caused by such intensive shooting are also quite huge.

Sajiala couldn't help but clenched his fists. Although he had long known that sacrifices were inevitable in war, he still lost more than 300 people like this before even getting within a hundred steps. These were the most elite and strongest Jurchens from the East China Sea.

Warriors, everyone can hunt tigers and bears, but they are so weak and powerless when facing the Zhou army's firearms.

However, he is also powerless to change this situation. The only solution now is to rush forward, get as close as possible to the enemy, and engage in hand-to-hand combat. This is what the East China Sea Warriors are best at.

"Quick, speed up and charge forward! They only have three cannons, and they have to rest for a long time after one shot. Charge forward!"

"Don't stop, follow closely, raise your shield well, and don't expose your body!"

Roaring sounds kept echoing in the Jurchen army formation in the East China Sea. The sentries kept urging the soldiers to speed up and take steps. As a result, the already chaotic formation would inevitably start to experience some fluctuations, especially as it got closer to the camp.

The gap between this kind of shield array will be larger.

Starting from the third round of shooting, the Fire Gun Army was divided into three. One part still chased the gaps opened by the shelling to maximize the damage, while the other part began to disperse and attack those positions where the gaps were exposed due to the chaos of the formation.

, and some of them have already moved out of the way, preparing to continue the attack after the attack of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

After withstanding five rounds of bombardment in total, the Donghai Jurchens' military formation finally came within eighty steps.

Hu Erhan, who had never dared to command Sajiala, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

In his opinion, Sajiala's command was remarkable. He did not disrupt his position due to the artillery bombardment and continued to adhere to the attack formation with the shield formation as the core. At the same time, it also confirmed his own judgment that this was the most important thing.

There are not many troops stationed in the camp, that is, about 1,000 people, no more than 1,500 people at most. Sajiala can take them without his own help.

They have already rushed within a hundred steps, and the Zhou army only has a few cannons, and the power of the firecrackers is greatly limited under the protection of the large shield. It is time to fight in close combat, and it is also the turn of the Donghai Jurchens to show off their power.

Already.

"Sajiala, now let's see if your warriors can make a successful attack." Hu Erhan showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Although the Zhou army is not good at close combat, they can still resist stubbornly by relying on the camp fence, so they must

If we want to take it down in one go, their main force is still behind. During this period, there are still many small camps that we need to eliminate one by one. We must seize the time..."

Before Hu Erhan finished speaking, there was another muffled sound from the distance that was different from the firing of long-barreled heavy artillery, and this muffled sound was more like the roar of dozens of artillery pieces.

Huerhan and Sajiala were both stunned, and subconsciously turned their gazes forward again.

I only saw a burst of gray-white smoke rising again on the small high ground in the distance. At a glance, I knew that this was the smoke released after the gunpowder was burned and fired. However, it was not like the crisp sound of a volley of firecrackers, but it was similar to the sound of a salvo.

The dull sound of the long-barreled cannon is different, more like a kind of explosion that is a mixture of the two.

Sajiala was still a little confused, but Hu Erhan was excited. Could it be that kind of small cannon?

Zhou Jun's Crouching Tiger Artillery Hu Erhan has also seen it, but the Liaodong Army that surrendered to Jianzhou did not have too many firearms. Even if they did, they were mainly firecrackers. Since Liaodong was given priority in the early stage, so

What the Gyeonggi military-industrial complex transports to Liaodong is mainly ordinary firecrackers, and there are not many self-generated firecrackers. There are also Tiger Crouching Cannons, but the quantity is also very small, and the quality of the early Tiger Crouching Cannons is not stable, regardless of the range power.

Still, the projectiles it fired were far inferior to the Tiger Crouching Cannon that was finally finalized after several rounds of improvements.

But after all, Hu Erhan had seen the Crouching Tiger Cannon and knew that this small cannon was very powerful in close-range infantry battles. However, he had always thought that the Zhou army would definitely not place the artillery team in such a camp.

Because it is obvious that such a fortress cannot stop our own army. Once it falls, its firearms may be captured by our own side, so Jianzhou can completely imitate these firearms.

But I didn't expect the Zhou army to be so bold. Not only did they place long-barreled heavy artillery here to bombard their own camp without restraint, but they also just listened to a burst of explosions. At least thirty or fifty squatting tiger cannons would do the same.

The sound of momentum.

Hu Erhan's guess was correct.

The bombardment of the long-barreled artillery continued to tear apart the Donghai Jurchen formation that continued to move forward. Although the damage caused was not small, for the Donghai Jurchen who invested 3,000 people at once, the loss of three to five hundred people was acceptable.

, or even more, as long as you see victory right in front of you, the shock and restlessness caused by these casualties can be suppressed.

But when dozens of squatting tiger cannons roared and erupted, the tragic situation suffered by the Jurchens in the East China Sea made people's blood boil.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon, arranged in a spindle formation, occupies the best position on the entire small highland. It is slightly higher than the flat ground on the entire front, which is less than one foot. In fact, it can only barely be regarded as a gentle slope.

But even so, it is still so much higher than the surrounding areas.

Dozens of squatting tiger cannons have been deployed here early. Only a few have been slightly adjusted to facilitate the placement of long-barreled heavy cannons, but this does not affect the performance of the entire artillery array.

This height of less than one foot may not be visible if it is a hundred steps away, but when the distance is only a few dozen steps, this condescending advantage will become apparent.

In particular, this kind of Tiger Crouching Cannon itself fires dense pellets. It is not good at direct fire, but is more suitable for slight pouring or projectile. It is especially powerful against the surging infantry formation.

The long-barreled cannons and fire cannons were unable to stop the rapid advance of the East China Sea Jurchen warriors, but after a roar, when the Tiger Crouching Cannon fired the first salvo, the entire East China Sea Jurchen attacking front was almost stunned.

Then it was crushed.
