Under the powerful impact of the cannonball, the armor of the armored knight dented directly, and then the whole person was torn apart by a powerful force. The cannonball dealt with the armored knight wearing heavy armor.
It's the same as the armored cavalry dealing with the Han infantry who only had swords in their hands.
The war horse also whined under the powerful impact. Although the war horse was not impacted by the shells, the sudden retreat of the soldiers on the horse still caused it to fall to one side.
The road left for the Armored Cavalry is not actually very wide. If one Armored Cavalry falls, the surrounding Armored Cavalry will also be affected, and the surrounding Armored Cavalry will immediately become confused.
Obviously the Zhou people did not expect that the Han army would actually bring up an artillery piece.
At this time, Chen Zhishen was standing in front of the artillery, holding a knife.
After the news suddenly came from the front that the Zhou people were retreating, Chen Zhishen didn't care about anything else and directly ordered the various soldiers and horses who were already on standby on the ramparts, trenches and river beaches to be led by various captains and even various battle leaders.
The general will lead and attack directly forward. At this time, it is too late to reorganize the team. Whoever runs faster must move forward quickly. Be sure to stop the enemy at all costs.
However, Chen Zhishen still considered whether the Zhou people might be deceiving. Although this possibility was not high, since the Zhou people had gone to great lengths to lay out strict defensive measures such as trenches, if they tried to deceive again, they would be able to lure the enemy deeper.
If so, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Even if the Han army were repulsed after rushing into the camp, they would still be able to defend the occupied Zhou trenches. Without the trenches, would the Zhou camp still be slaughtered by the Han army's artillery?
It is unlikely that there is fraud, but it does not mean that Zhou people will not have backup plans.
The Zhou people did not flee in panic after being defeated, but took the initiative to retreat. At this time, the enemy is very likely to change from the original orderly retreat to an out-and-out rout because of your active pursuit, but correspondingly, the enemy is also very
It is possible that they may be on the way to pursue you, or they may simply rely on this camp to set up an ambush for you and catch you off guard.
Especially if the Han army actively pursued, it would be impossible to carry large weapons such as artillery. Once the enemy's cavalry killed a carbine, it would be a fatal threat.
Therefore, Chen Zhishen did not hesitate at all, and simply moved the artillery closest to him, commanding the guards and gunners to push it forward. Fortunately, the Ministry of Industry had already considered that such a problem was likely to be faced, so all
The land artillery was also equipped with wheels like the navy's light artillery.
Navy artillery is equipped with wheels to facilitate movement on the deck. Of course, many warships now directly use slide rails, which is more efficient than wheels, but wheels are still the most basic and simple method.
Because the artillery of the Army Division has always been relatively heavy, it is difficult to support it with wheels made of wood. Therefore, it is necessary to add iron parts or even directly cover the wheels with iron to make it move. The movement of the artillery also takes a lot of time.
Relying on a special carriage, it is certainly not that easy to rely solely on people to push it. Therefore, although there are many personal guards around Chen Zhishen, they can only push up one artillery.
Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.
After a brief period of confusion, Cavalry A reorganized the queue, but at this time, everything was too late. Thunderbolts were continuously thrown out from the ditch, one after another, landing at the feet of Cavalry A, and the thunderbolts exploded
Although the power is not as powerful as artillery shells, it cannot hold up in sufficient numbers, and the location of the explosion is better than that of the projectile shells.
The thunderbolts kept exploding at the feet of the armored cavalry, and the explosive air waves from bottom to top directly overturned a famous cavalryman. Heavy armor could not stop the impact of the explosion, and cold weapons could not compete with hot weapons.
To compete, even if the Armored Cavalry is considered the pinnacle of cold weapons.
If the gunpowder currently used by the Han army was still mainly black powder, I am afraid that the Northern Zhou Jiaqi would have been blown to pieces in a very short period of time.
The soldiers of the Han army rushed out of the trench again. What is more impressive is naturally this trench. Originally the trench was dug by the Northern Zhou army to prevent the Han army's bombardment, but now it became the trench for the Han army's infantry to avoid armored cavalry.
And it is the best place to throw the Thunderbolt directly into the Armored Cavalry.
Although the Zhou people also tried to rush out of the camp to seize control of the trench, their manpower input was limited. In addition, the Han army's musketeers had completely blocked the entrance to the trench, so it was not easy for them to rush in.
?
Although I don't know what the Zhou general who was commanding the battle was thinking at this time, at least Chen Zhishen was in a good mood.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and the Zhou Qingqi could no longer hold back and came from both sides of the camp.
The Han army's Modao troops immediately spread out to the two wings. Chen Zhishen never directly attacked the Modao troops because he was afraid that the Zhou people would come back so suddenly.
Anyway, the artillery and the Thunder Thunder have already overwhelmed the enemy's armored cavalry. It's not a bad thing to leave Mo Daoshou to fight with the enemy's light cavalry. You must be prepared.
The Qingqi collided, but the Modao team did not retreat due to the impact of the cavalry. On the contrary, they strode forward with neat steps, waving the Modao in their hands, and the wind seemed to change direction with the Modao.
The light of the sword flashed, and wherever the Mo sword struck, people fell on their backs.
Blood spattered on Mo Daoshou's body, and no one hesitated to retreat. Mo Daoshou was constantly hit by the enemy's spear or saber and fell down, but his companions behind him would immediately rush up, still waving their swords, and rebuild
Build a strong line of defense.
"There are fewer people in the Modao team." Chen Zhishen's marching chief Li Kuan has already rushed up with another team of musketeers. The Han army in the rear has received news one after another and is organizing a crossing of the river, so they stay behind just in case.
Li Kuan, who was on the barrier, naturally had his hands free, "Do you want someone to lead a musketeer team to top it?"
"No need, the key is still at the front." Chen Zhishen pointed to the camp.
The gate of the camp did not have time to close after the armored cavalry rushed out. At this time, the Han soldiers had already rushed into the camp.
The armored cavalry who were lucky enough not to be affected by the explosion also turned their horses in panic at this time, but the corpses everywhere and the Han troops surrounding them did not give them a chance to escape. If it weren't for the weapons in their hands, they could still wield them.
, the armor on their bodies was also hard enough, and the Han army would not be able to do anything to them for a while. I am afraid that the armored cavalry would have been wiped out long ago.
"I'll leave this to you." Chen Zhishen patted Li Kuan on the shoulder and waved the horizontal sword in his hand, "My sons, follow me and kill the enemy!"
The surrounding soldiers had already been impatient, and at this time they agreed with a loud voice.
Li Kuan opened his mouth and wanted to call out to Chen Zhishen, but Chen Zhishen had already rushed forward. His personal guards and the Han infantry who caught up followed him and rushed forward, crossing the trench like a wave.
The stronghold wall broke into the Zhou people's camp.
