Chapter 1529 Fighting Lurong, Musket Against Elephants
Luo Yi had to admit that Fan Fanzhi did choose a very suitable place and a very suitable time. This vast area was very suitable for the elephant soldiers to attack forward, and the Han army that had just boarded the dock was not large in number, and
We have just organized the team.
More importantly, the Han army had never dealt with elephant soldiers before and had no experience at all.
This move was released at the perfect time.
The trebuchet on the navy ship began to roar again, and the stone bullets whizzed out, constantly falling into the array of elephants. However, these elephants that were driven forward were obviously not affected by the stone bullets.
, one or two elephants were hit by stone bullets and fell down howling, but more elephants still ran forward.
"Prepare the musket!" Beads of sweat rolled down Luo Yi's forehead.
His breathing became rapid, because he knew very well that if he could not cause harm to the elephants and stop them in the next two to three hundred steps, it would be destined to be a disaster.
The musket crackled on the elephant's body. Compared with the stone bullets hitting the elephant head-on and causing the elephant to fall, the lead bullets fired from the musket were obviously not that powerful. Not to mention the elephant itself was rough and thick-skinned.
He was even wearing leather armor, so bullets would have little effect.
Moreover, when muskets are used against enemies, even if the bullets do not hit people, people will be frightened by the fire-breathing thing and the dull thunderous sound. But now these elephants charging forward have their ears blocked.
With their eyes covered, they couldn't see the fire or hear the sound. It was all the elephant slaves controlling the elephants who used the reins to drive them forward.
Elephants are docile animals. If it were not for the long-term training and the pain caused by the elephant slaves' whipping, they would not move forward so desperately.
This is why the stone bullets of the trebuchet hit the elephants, but there was no way to frighten the entire elephant herd. Otherwise, for social animals like elephants, if their companions, especially their relatives and friends, were injured, they would never be indifferent.
.
"Let go, aim at the trunk and eyes of the elephant and hit it!" Luo Yi gritted his teeth, "When the line is full, deploy half of the musketeers and crossbowmen to hit the people on the elephant!"
The musketeers lined up neatly and fired their guns one after another. This time, the muskets fired at the elephant's face, and more arrows continued to pass over the heads of the musketeers, targeting the elephant.
The enemy on the elephant's back.
The elephant soldiers continued to fall down after being hit by arrows, and some elephants that were hit in the eyes, trunks, etc. screamed and stamped on the ground, and some even stood up like war horses, trembling crazily, and put the weapons on their backs on their backs.
Get rid of people directly!
The elephants that were originally running forward were in turmoil, especially those that suddenly lost control of the elephant soldiers. After suffering from pain, they began to run rampant in the entire queue, and even turned around and tried to run backwards.
However, at least four or five elephants rushed up from the flanks, avoiding the chaos in the middle, and rushed straight towards the Han army on the dock.
"Bang!" A roar suddenly exploded.
The fire burst out, and the flames directly enveloped the elephant at the head. The elephant soldiers riding on the elephant were completely burned into burning men. They were jumping up and down in a panic. In the end, they could only jump off the elephant.
.And that elephant went crazy and hit the elephant next to it, and the elephants suddenly became chaotic!
Luo Yi turned around subconsciously. The naval warship had just ejected a fire oil tank, and the effect was obviously very good.
Fire oil tanks are not an unfamiliar thing in the army, but they are not commonly used on the navy's warships. This is mainly because the waterproof measures are not very good, and the navy may not be able to use them.
I am not very interested in things that may not be able to explode even if they are on fire. Moreover, at this stage, the navy's trebuchets are still used to assist the army in attacking fortresses. In bombarding cities, stone bombs are obviously more effective than fire oil cans, so
The navy still prefers to use stone bombs.
However, this time, just in case, the navy still carried a small amount of fire oil cans. If it had been in the original situation, Qi Xin would definitely not let people take these things out, but Qi Xin, who is obviously aware of the danger now, is quite cautious.
There was a hint of seeking medical treatment in a hurry. Now it seems that what he did was not wrong.
"Musket, suppress!" Luo Yi seized this most important opportunity.
The elephant is in chaos, but the out-of-control elephant is still charging forward!
Luo Yi thought about how the Yan army in history was completely defeated by Tian Dan. Luo Yi didn't want his army to become another Yan army!
Although the musket is difficult to stop and control the elephant, it can make the elephant turn its head because of the pain now that the elephant has completely lost control!
The musketeers were reloading and moving forward, facing the elephants that were getting closer and closer. If they failed, not only would the elephants rush onto the pier, but they would also be trampled directly by the elephants.
Eighty-nine will turn directly into minced meat!
"Let go!" Rows of musketeers pulled the triggers desperately.
The first elephant received priority "care", and the lead bullet penetrated directly into its body. The elephant screamed, turned around and ran backwards. In the process, it hit the body of the elephant next to it.
The elephant staggered and lost its direction. It also ran backwards, and the elephant running forward behind it collided with them again. The whole battlefield was in chaos.
"Let go!" Compared with the chaotic elephant herd, the Han army's pace was very steady.
Apparently they have seen the key to turning the tide of the war.
The elephants turned around in embarrassment. Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Shichong next to him: "Order the whole army to attack!"
"Ah?" Wang Shichong, who was sweating, was very surprised.
"Treat others with their own medicine. I am sure that Fan Fanzhi's army will be following behind, waiting for the elephant soldiers to defeat us before they come to clean up the mess. Now we will use these elephants to fight hard
Charge at his military formation!" Luo Yi laughed loudly.
Wang Shichong immediately became energetic: "Promise!"
With the flag waved, the Han soldiers swept towards the west!
In front of them, elephants that had lost their sense of direction and were panicking were also running wildly.
"This Luo Ziyan (a pseudonym of Luo Yi) is not stupid." Qi Xin stood on the ship's deck, looking at the strange scene on the dock. He couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to pat the railing. "If I hadn't thrown stones,
The plane saved his life. I'm afraid he's going to be soaked in the sea at this time. No matter what he says tonight, he will have to treat someone to a drink!"
After laughing, Qi Xin said loudly: "Order all ships, as long as they can move, to come ashore to kill the enemy. Even the Huotou Army will grab the poles and kitchen knives. Let's enter Lu Rong!"
