Chapter 2073 The Great Collapse(1/3)
Yes, this is the chariot version of the bastion.
Wen Rensheng evolved it into a miniature bastion that could be quickly formed with a chariot.
Of course, he would not apply it mechanically. The bastion should be low, but the chariot should be high.
Because the bastion was built to deal with the cannons of the 18th century, to prevent the city walls from being damaged by cannons.
But now that we are in the Three Kingdoms period, we have to adapt to local conditions.
To protect against enemy thrown weapons, the chariot had to be tall, thick, and fireproof.
By doing these three things, you can greatly reduce your mortality rate.
while maintaining morale.
With the protection of the thick chariot, the soldiers holding on behind will feel at ease.
It's just too tiring to push.
It is not suitable for fighting in mountainous, hilly areas and areas with dense river networks.
But now, when the chariot bastion was formed, the opponent quickly discovered the discomfort.
The most violent group of thieves rushed forward with all their strength.
Behind the chariot, the soldiers saw the thieves approaching and only threw two rounds of muskets.
He no longer threw, but hid behind his chariot and picked up his spear
This made the rebel soldiers very excited, because although the damage caused by the guns was high, they were not dense enough and they did not kill many people.
After rushing forward, they discovered that the sharp corner was unreachable.
The troops cannot be deployed.
To take advantage of the large number of people, they must rush into the six grooves.
Then after rushing into the groove, it became even worse.
The further you go in, the narrower it becomes, which means the smaller the impulse.
From six rows to two rows, and finally to one person.
And they will be attacked from both sides at the same time.
In this case, holding a shield alone is useless.
Because this is a side attack.
And the sides of any soldier or group are weak.
Even during World War II, being flanked could easily cause a major collapse.
The soldiers on both sides of the tank directly used five-meter long spears to stab outwards through the shooting holes.
With a spear stabbing both sides, one can imagine the person in the middle.
Completely turned into candied haws.
Someone tried to grab the spear, but couldn't use force.
The other side can rely on chariots to exert force.
Moreover, when the long gun was designed, it was designed to be thin at the front and thick at the back, making it impossible to pull it out.
Moreover, there are barbs on the long spear, which increases the pain of the resisters.
However, there are still smart thieves.
"Back off!"
"Stay back, this is a monster!"
"Smash it with stones and throw it with spears and forks!"
"Pry it over with a stick!"
They quickly thought that fighting in front of such a weird car with the soldiers wielding spears behind them was like fighting a hedgehog.
Isn't that stupid?
They are people.
Of course, you must use long-range attacks to avoid the opponent's anti-armor damage.
If you continue to rush forward, those passages will lead to a dead end.
The group of thieves who rushed to the front were the most violent and the first to adapt to killing.
It can be said that they were still trying to survive at first, but after breaking through Zhuangzi and the county, and breaking through the constraints of the laws, they soon discovered the joy of killing and raping, killing people everywhere, killing indiscriminately, and being extremely cruel.
Among the thieves, the most courageous one can also be said to be the least innocent. This is how ironic it is.
The good guys are the first to be starved to death and used as cannon fodder.
This is the tragedy of raising Gu in troubled times.
It is not an exaggeration to use any cruel adjective to describe these people.
They wisely backed away and blocked themselves with shields.
Then they began to try to use long sticks to reach under the vehicles and try to overturn the chariots.
The result is no good.
The opponent has spears and throwing spears.
Moreover, there are too many things and people on the chariot, so it cannot be easily overturned.
Moreover, their shields block one side but cannot block the other side.
So they retreated again and began to throw their weapons and even the stones and dirt on the ground.
When Wen Rensheng read those ancient novels before, he found that some people always regarded enemies as game NPCs.
The opponent was armed with swords, guns and clubs, but he just held a long spear to block them.
It's really ridiculous. When people are in a hurry, wouldn't they throw swords, guns and sticks at you?
You don't need to aim at such a large area.
Therefore, you must have protection, armor, and a shield, so that you can cope with various combat situations.
Just expect the ancient soldiers to put their flesh and blood bodies on top and wait for collapse.
Just being beaten without being able to defend and counterattack will cause a visible drop in morale.
Now, the vanguard of these bandits, especially those who have undergone certain battlefield training, began to throw out their own swords and guns.
It's just that Wen Rensheng had already prepared for it.
Hundreds of weapons were thrown from the opposite side, but the chariot's cover had already been raised, forming a large room, like a siege vehicle.
There is a large cover on top to prevent arrows and rolling wood.
But it is not completely fireproof.
So to destroy, you must throw the oil can.
Fortunately, fire starters in the Three Kingdoms are very expensive.
Cheng Yuanzhi has not yet carried a rocket.
Even if he carries it, Wen Rensheng is not afraid.
Because he had already covered the lid with sandbags for fire protection.
The price is more heavy.
Not much mobility.
If the opponent wants to chop off the sandbags, he must be prepared to be stabbed with a spear.
In this way, all those messy weapons were blocked.
Only a handful of them accidentally hit some of the recruits whose bodies leaked out.
The quantity is also very small.
The soldiers on Wen Rensheng's side became more confident as they fought. They trained more and more. The situation on the battlefield was as Wen Rensheng expected.
Just like an open-book exam, the more familiar you are with memorizing it, the more motivated you will be when writing.
On the opposite side, under their attack, there was not much defense, no armor, no shield.
One by one, the bravest thieves were stabbed to death with spears and thrown to death with spears.
Someone said: "Bring a torch and burn it!"
The fire attack is still somewhat useful, at least the smoke has a biochemical effect.
In fact, ancient people learned to use smoke to deal with enemy soldiers, and even threw chili peppers and Chinese medicine into them to make poison.
It's just that they couldn't control the direction of the wind, and neither can modern people.
