(It’s the beginning of the month, so vote for the free monthly ticket.)
The defenders on the hillside finally began to counterattack, and the Luoyan Army soldiers who emerged from the fortifications began to fire arrows downwards. The crossbow arrows fired from the crossbows and longbows were dense and ferocious, and their condescension increased their power. The rushing cavalry was met with a head-on attack.
After the blow, two to three hundred riders fell to the ground in an instant. The men and horses rolled and struggled on the slope, and the scene was chaotic.
However, the charging cavalry of the former Great Zhou Forbidden Army all had sophisticated armor, and the five thousand people in the front team were equipped with shields to charge. Although the blocking bows and arrows were fierce, the impact of the blow was not as terrifying as imagined. Although
Hundreds of cavalrymen were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but the remaining cavalrymen rushed dozens of steps in front of the hillside fortifications with their shields on their backs.
Dozens of small melon grenades with green smoke flew from the air and exploded among the cavalry, causing a lot of chaos and damage. However, it was obvious that the time when the small melon was thrown was too late, and by this time it was no longer possible.
The cavalry that blocked the attack broke through the first line of fortification defense. Amidst the loud explosions and smoke and dust, nearly three hundred Forbidden Army cavalry successfully rushed up the mountainside fortification. The war horses leaped over the low wall of the fortification.
The defenders' crossbowmen and grenade throwers rushed into the rear of the fortifications. The Luoyan Army defenders began to flee up the hillside. Once the cavalry approached, they became lambs to be slaughtered. They could only evacuate up the hillside. They
As soon as he ran, the entire fortification in the middle of the hillside was lost, and the chaotic situation on the slope was immediately reversed. He quickly rushed out of the smoke and dust and continued to charge towards the top of the hill.
Wang Jun danced happily. What he was most worried about before was that once the opponent launched a counterattack, the five thousand cavalry would be defeated quickly. Because the opponent's explosive firearms were too powerful. Bows and arrows were not enough. The cavalry had shields and armor.
It could be resisted, but the exploding firearm was too terrifying. However, the firearm thrown by the opponent only caused a few hundred damage, and was not as terrifying as imagined. Wang Jun knew that it was because of the insufficient number and the timing of throwing it too late.
The insufficient quantity is probably due to attacks from all directions, and the required number of firearms is huge, which is simply not enough to cope with a battle of this scale. And the timing of throwing is too late, because the distance of throwing the thing is too short. If it is on a steep
On the contrary, it can roll down the hillside, which can increase the distance several times that of human throwing. But on this extremely gentle slope, it is impossible for the thing to roll down, and it may be thrown by the earth at any time on the slope.
Blocked. So they could only wait for their own cavalry to rush within fifty steps before throwing down. This distance only allowed them to throw for one round, and the cavalry rushed in front of them, and they could only run away.
Wang Jun was excited that he could quickly understand the reasons for everything that happened on the battlefield. Who said he was brave and foolhardy? The fact that he could quickly understand the reasons for everything that happened on the battlefield showed that he had sublimated.
, already much higher than ordinary leading generals. Knowing the whole story, he could make more effective adjustments. Wang Jun was ecstatic about his sudden breakthrough in IQ, and he quickly issued an order.
"Everyone, please rush up, regardless of the formation. Their defense is weak and cannot give them a chance to adjust. Kill, we must be the first troops to rush up the hill. Lu Xiang said, who will take the lead?
If you break through the enemy troops on the hill, you will be rewarded heavily." Wang Jun raised his iron gun and shouted loudly, while he personally rode his horse towards the slope. Under his encouragement, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed up the slope.
Charged away on the road.
Originally, the ramp that was hundreds of paces long and over eighty or ninety paces wide could accommodate 5,000 cavalry in a tight formation. Now the following cavalry swarmed in, and the entire ramp was suddenly filled with cavalry, which was extremely crowded. The crossbow arrows above kept firing.
came down, but no one cared about the sporadic casualties caused. All the cavalry rushed up the slope in a way that ignored the opponent's defense methods. Who could have imagined that this was an attack against the Luoyan Army?
This is the offensive formation facing the Luoyan Army with powerful firearms. They don't yet know what price they will pay for this.
Above the ramp, 5,000 defenders led by Ruan Ping, deputy commander of the Luoyan Army's infantry, guarded the second line of defense, which was also the last line of defense here. Facing the black pressure, they rushed to the middle of the ramp and soon reached the defense line.
To the enemy cavalry in front, Ruan Ping waved his hand and gave the order.
"The entire swarm operation team is ready and listen to my orders."
Hundreds of Swarm Rocket Launcher operators were actually well prepared. They quickly lifted the raincloth covering the outer shell of the Swarm Rocket Launcher placed on ten earthen platforms, exposing the main killer weapon of the Luoyan Army to the sunlight.
under.
The slope here is the narrowest of the six gentle slopes, so only ten swarm rocket launchers are allocated here. Ten earth platforms have been built and compacted earlier, and the ten earth platforms were built ten steps apart.
The ramp, which is about a hundred steps wide, is lined up to form a blockade. A circular base is placed on the earth platform, and the cross-shaped Swarm of Bees rocket launchers have all been placed in place. The curtain is naturally covered to prevent dust and waterproofing, so that the Swarm of Bees can maintain the best launch condition.
.At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and the black conical cylinder was exposed to everyone's view like a huge metal trumpet. Under the sunlight, the smooth outer cylinder reflected the luster of the metal. The shape was weird and cool, and it looked full of style.
.
These ten swarm rocket launchers, more than 4,000 crossbowmen, and less than a thousand small melon grenades are all Ruan Ping’s possessions today. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the hill from other places, small melon grenades and
A large number of repeating crossbows must be supplied to other places first. The more the six gentle slopes where cavalry can charge, there will be no enough crossbows and melon grenades for defense. Marshal Lin's arrangement is confusing, but there is no way.
Method. Although the number of small melons is huge, they cannot withstand the erosion.
The consumption of bows and arrows is too fast. The consumption of bows and arrows is also huge. Therefore, they have to be distributed appropriately to maximize their effectiveness. The effect of melon grenades on gentle slopes is actually not as powerful as in other places. They cannot cause collapse and chaos on the slopes. Just rely on
The lethality is unable to stop the opponent's attack that no longer cares about casualties. Therefore, all hopes are pinned on a swarm of rocket launchers.
At this moment, the defenders on the slope were actually muttering in their hearts. Most of them believed that relying on these swarm rocket launchers could withstand the opponent's attack. All they could do was to use the bazookas in their hands.
The bows and arrows were fired at the swarming opponents again and again, hoping to kill more enemy cavalry. But different from their mood, Ruan Pingping and hundreds of swarming rocket launcher operators looked excited. They were the only ones.
Only then did I realize how dense the opponent's charge formation was and how powerful the firepower was under the joint blockade of ten rocket launchers. The swarm of rocket launchers has been improved several times, and has evolved from the initial version to a terrifying stage. Before this
They have never demonstrated their power, and even many soldiers in the Luoyan Army have not witnessed the power of the latest test launch of the swarm of rocket launchers, so they lack confidence.
The attacking cavalry troops have already rushed to the top of the slope. A hundred steps further, they will rush up the hill. The bows and arrows of the defenders above fell into the cavalry formation without any pain. Although many troops fell, they fell.
The cavalry were quickly trampled to pulp under the torrent of iron hoofs, unable to stop the rapid advancement of the cavalry formation. In the eyes of all the cavalry, it was a certainty to attack the hill. They would be the first to charge.
The cavalry going up the hill is a sure thing.
However, they could not imagine the cruel blow they were about to suffer.
"Swarm of bazookas, launch." From the top of the slope, Ruan Ping shouted loudly and gave the order. At the same time, he lit a torch in his hand to light a fuse on the back of the swarm of bazookas in front of him.
The igniters in the remaining nine launch teams lit the fuses on their sides almost simultaneously. The bright flames squeaked, spread along the fuses, quickly penetrated into the back of the rocket launcher and disappeared, with only a faint wisp of smoke coming out of the small hole.
Then, a long scream resounded throughout the countryside, and a rocket dragged out a long tail flame with a sharp whistle and shot out from the front of the rocket launcher in front of Ruan Ping. It didn't even shoot directly downward.
Instead, the cavalry soldiers and horses rushed diagonally into the air on one side, twisting their tail flames like poisonous snakes, and then plunged into the torrent of cavalry below.
The scream of this rocket was like waking up all the arrows sleeping in the rocket launcher. After it was shot out with a screaming sound, ten swarms of rocket launchers on the hillside poured out the rockets inside them at almost the same time.
The Luoyan Army's swarm of rocket launchers are all configured in sixty-four units. As the name suggests, the launch of each rocket launcher is to pour out all sixty-four rockets within a few breaths. It is truly like an overwhelming force.
The effect was like a swarm of swarms. The cross on the hillside shot out 640 rockets in a few breaths of time. Its scale and power can be imagined.
If you think that a blockade with this number of rockets is not as powerful as a volley of bows and arrows fired by thousands of people, then you are completely wrong. These rockets are fired irregularly in a fan shape, basically covering the horizon a hundred steps away.
The sector area is thirty to forty steps across. Coupled with its irregular tricks, the shield is basically useless against them. You can block the front, but you can't block the rockets shot from the side and rear or even from the sudden turn above the head. What's even more terrifying is
That's not all.
First of all, the powerful penetrating power of a swarm of rockets will be unimaginable to everyone. Arrows equipped with fine iron arrows can penetrate the opponent's body under the strong push of gunpowder. Lin Jue has done tests and found out that the impact penetrating power of the rockets
It is equivalent to a bed crossbow. The power of a bed crossbow can definitely penetrate the human body. In other words, each rocket has the power to penetrate the opponent's body. This kind of lethality is not comparable to that of ordinary crossbows. Facing the body
The former Zhou cavalry soldiers and horses were wearing fine armor. Ordinary bows and arrows could shoot through their armor, but they could never be killed with just one or two arrows. Because after the armor was blocked, the arrows could only penetrate the flesh for a few minutes, unless they were shot.
Hit the vital point, otherwise it would be difficult to kill the opponent. This is also the reason why thousands of archers shoot arrows downwards, but the opponent suffers very few casualties. However, in a swarm of swarms, only one rocket can penetrate the body of a knight wearing armor, making their armor look like paper.
The piece generally loses its protective power. One arrow can kill the opponent or lose the ability to fight.
Secondly, the power of rockets lies in the subsequent damage caused after they are shot. In addition to being propelled by gunpowder, the improved swarm rockets also have a powder capsule at the end. After being shot into the opponent's formation, the powder capsule at the end will explode.
Produces a small-scale explosion effect. In addition to basically causing the wound of the person hit by the arrow to explode, turning the minor injury into a serious injury, and making the seriously injured person die, it will also ignite the opponent's armor and clothing due to the violent burning of the gunpowder.
Hair, beards, horsehair and other flammable things. The subsequent gunpowder explosion and burning are what makes a swarm of bazookas even more cruel and inhumane. But it is also a source of fear and collapse for the opponent.
In addition, the most terrifying thing is that a swarm of bees with the above two strong lethality and deterrence can launch thousands of rockets in the shortest time. This makes this terrifying lethality and deterrence reach the extreme, and at the same time
Reach the ultimate level of the enemy's psychological defense.
In just a few breaths, six hundred and forty rockets with ear-piercing roars, pungent smoke and dazzling flames poured into the charging cavalry formation below. The horns of all rocket launchers were like
A gate to hell spewing flames and smoke, the rockets dragging fireworks trails criss-crossing and covering the entire area above the hillside, fanning the sky.
The shaped striking surfaces overlapped each other, and the dense cavalry team a hundred steps away was quickly enveloped in fireworks.
The shrill screams of the rockets filled the eardrums, like the screams of ghosts in hell. The sight was filled with the trails of fireworks and the diffuse light, like sparks falling from the sky. The cavalry, who were still charging,
Faced with the sudden attack from the rocket, they were stunned and stunned. Most of them had never experienced such a firearm attack. Only a small number of them had participated in the battle to attack Luoyan Valley, but that had been several times.
What happened years ago, they all forgot about the original situation. It was not until they heard the roar of the rockets and saw the ferocity of the swarm of rockets that they were suddenly reminded of the terrifying memory of the time.
Within a few breaths, six hundred and forty rockets hit the cavalry formation with shrill screams, dazzling fireworks, and irregular flying patterns at various angles. Armor was penetrated, flesh and blood were splashing, and flames were flying.
Explosion. The smoke was pungent and thick, and the entire battlefield within a hundred steps down the slope was immediately blinded and blinded. In this dazzling smoke, the rockets penetrated the bodies of the men and horses wantonly, and the flames splashed wantonly.
Burning. The stinging pain of the arrow piercing the flesh and the burning pain of the fire spread at the fastest speed. Not only the cavalry who were shot, but those who were not shot were inevitably contaminated by the explosive gunpowder.
.As a result, there was a huge chaos added to the blinding panic in the smoke. The war horses were frightened and jumped around after their bodies were burned. The soldiers were even more panicked and slapped their frightened tips after their bodies were on fire.
shouted.
All in all, within a radius of two hundred steps below the ramp, smoke was billowing with red light, and what came from the smoke was a shrill scream like hell, as if a demon was raging in the rolling smoke. The entire attacking cavalry was in front of them.
The team fell into extreme panic and chaos in an instant.
But all this was just the beginning. On the hillside, after a round of rockets was fired in a very short time, well-trained assemblers had already lifted the entire tray of arrows to the earthen platform. In order to solve the problem of slow rocket assembly, Lin Jue had already
The swarm rocket launcher has been improved to a modular assembly method. Simply put, a rocket launcher is equipped with three arrow discs. The circular arrow disc of the same size has already been filled with 64 arrows. A disc of arrows
After the arrow is fired, you only need to use the iron hook to hook out the empty arrow disk, assemble the inner core of the other full arrow disk, and pull the fuze out of the round hole at the rear. The whole process is very quick and requires skilled cooperation.
With the cooperation of skilled operators, the entire process can be completed in just over ten seconds.
All the operators coordinated quickly with their hands and feet, and their division of labor was clear. Soon the second round of firing began again. When the second round of fire-breathing fire was launched, the third inner core filled with arrows had been lifted down and ready.
Preparation for replacement. The removed empty disks were immersed in large wooden barrels to cool quickly, and then seven or eight people quickly began to assemble new rockets at the same time.
Taking three rounds as a cycle, some buffering and cooling time may be needed between each cycle, but who can survive three consecutive rounds of swarms of rocket launchers and still stand strong?
The cavalry on the hillside gave the answer.
If the swarm of rocket attacks in the first round caught the charging cavalry off guard, but actually caused only limited damage and only caused chaos in the formation, then the swarm of rockets in the second and third rounds brought destruction.
The fire was devastating. The rain of arrows from the sky swept across the front line of the cavalry down the slope with a shrill roar. Almost all the thousands of cavalrymen who were panicking and frightened in the smoke were hit by arrows. The men and horses rolled on the slope, and the horses on fire scattered in all directions.
Falling, the entire front cavalry was unable to advance even half a step. On the contrary, the bodies of their fallen and injured men and horses became a huge obstacle to the charging cavalry in the rear. The originally unobstructed ramp was blocked by its own attacking team. A large number of
The war horses were frightened and rushed down the slope. The cavalry charge formation was immediately in chaos. There were obstacles in front of them, heavy fireworks and corpses, and behind them there were congested cavalry charging troops, trampling on each other in front and back. Frightened shouts and screams filled the entire hillside.
It has become a hellish existence.
Can you imagine that the cavalry on fire in the smoke in front of you is crying and charging towards you, but you can remain indifferent? You can see that after the cavalry beside you was hit by a rocket, a hole was exploded in the chest and abdomen.
, how can you not be afraid when all your flesh and blood are blown away? Can you still dare to rush forward after witnessing the dense soldiers and horses in front of you being pinned to the ground by the roaring rockets in an instant? Just a short time.
In less than a short cup of tea, the cavalry and horses, which had been full of confidence that they were about to charge up the hill, fell from the clouds into hell. Under the opponent's swift, ruthless and cruel blow, unknown means were used to clear the area powerfully and bring about visual and auditory effects.
Under the huge shock, the psychological defenses of the charging cavalry completely collapsed.
This is not because they are timid, nor are they a mob, but are well-trained cavalry from the former Great Zhou Forbidden Army. This is definitely not their problem, but the situation they encountered today is beyond their psychological bottom line and beyond their understanding.
Just like if you want to get rid of a bad guy, when you know that the other person is just a person like you, you are not so afraid. The worst result is to die in the hands of the other person. However, when
When you see that the other person is like a demon and has vast magical powers, and you know that his way of killing is to grab you, chew your flesh and bones, and eat you alive, do you still dare to fight him? Do you still dare to fight him?
All I could do was run away for my life.
Therefore, under the terrifying striking power and lethality of the swarm, as well as the huge psychological destruction of the enemy, the cavalry began to retreat in panic. This retreat was just chaotic at first, but soon evolved into an entire army.
The horses trample each other, and the desperate rout.
