Chapter 2301 Gui Zi Scroll The cavalry protrudes with the sound of swords and guns (7)
"Ah!" Tuluha howled uncontrollably.
In the blink of an eye, one of his biological brothers, a close friend whom he had grown up with since childhood, died. Such a strong stimulation made Tuluha feel that his eyes were about to burst, and there was a lump of turbidity in his throat.
It almost bursts out, giving him the urge to kill people and kill Buddhas when they see them.
No matter who stood in front of him, he would kill them all at this moment to vent his inner violent emotions.
This kind of scene happened almost everywhere among the Jianzhou armored infantry who were charging at a faster speed.
The charging formation shrank back as if it had been suddenly punched by someone, becoming more and more uneven.
After that loud noise, the stones and iron slag spit out by the "beast" were thrown into the air with sharp edges, forming a semi-arc curved strike zone, screaming towards the people who were advancing bravely.
The Jianzhou armored infantry group swept in.
Shields were shattered, bones were cracked, tendons were broken, flesh was rotten, and blood was splattered. No matter where it hit, there was no way it could stop the violent force of blasting gunpowder.
The armored infantrymen in Jianzhou basically held wooden shields. It was impossible to make a pure iron shield. It would be too heavy, and there were not so many high-quality iron materials to make a pure iron shield. Basically, they were thick wooden shields.
, some wealthy families would wrap some iron sheets leftover from making iron leaf armor around the outside of the wooden shield. This was a luxury item.
No matter what kind of wooden shield it is, it is enough to withstand ordinary crossbow bolts and fire muskets, but it is obviously not enough to face such close range bombardment.
With one blow, the shield will be shattered and the people will be killed, which is almost an inevitable outcome. Especially such a close sweep, it maximizes the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon can adjust the base angle, so that the muzzle can move up and down appropriately, and the range and intensity can be adjusted appropriately. For the Jianzhou armored infantry charging frontally, this is simply a disaster.
Each artillery array was composed of more than ten squatting tiger cannons. They formed a dense fire net according to the preset angle and direction. They fired the first wave of sweeps in a very short period of time, directly damaging Eyidu.
Proud armored infantry formation.
In this first round of attacks, Feng Ziying initially estimated through observation that at least 600 to 800 armored soldiers were shot and fell, and this fall basically meant that they could not get up.
Their comrades will trample them into pieces.
It should be said that the Tiger Crouching Artillery still exerted considerable power against such an infantry phalanx. The effect was excellent, and its deterrent effect on the infantry of the Jianzhou Army was even greater. At that moment, all the armored soldiers saw the fate of their comrades and brothers around them.
The shock, panic and fear are beyond words.
Before Feng Ziying could taste it, there was another burst of relatively scattered but more detailed explosions, and smoke continued to linger at the rear end of the Zhou army formation. This was the continued use of the eagle-billed gun.
They don't have the power of a single blow like the Tiger Crouching Cannon, but this kind of sequential strikes can better and more accurately select strike points. According to the previous arrangement, they have to attack the prominent Jianzhou armored infantry running at the front in a limited manner.
troops, slowing down their attack speed in front of their own infantry square, and buying more time for the Crouching Tiger Artillery and Fire Gun Soldiers.
Even at this distance, the eagle-billed gun can still effortlessly break through the wooden shields of the Jianzhou armored infantry. Although it cannot be broken, it can penetrate the wooden shield body just as lightly, and then the rotating projectiles will hit the ground without any hindrance.
Enter the soldier's body and tear apart all the muscles and bones in front of it.
Hundreds more armored infantry fell on the front line of battle they were about to reach, only a few dozen steps away.
The second round of Tiger Crouching Artillery strikes was more ferocious, still facing the enemy directly in front. Since Jianzhou's armored soldiers were denser at this time, the power of this round of artillery strikes was greater, but due to the curve of the projectile
It is straighter, causing more bloodshed, but causing less damage to the enemy.
But it didn't matter anymore. The fire gunner at this distance still started three rounds of fire in an orderly manner after this blow.
"Bang! Baht! Baht! Baht!" The smoke filled the sky with a choking smell permeated over the entire Zhou Army infantry square formation. The eagle-billed blunderbuss, the squatting tiger cannon, and the fire blunderbuss were used in a series of three major killing weapons.
, using the power of firearms to the extreme, sweeping away all enemies who dare to challenge the rules, and killing them all!
Even when the Jianzhou armored infantry finally rushed to the front of the formation, staring at the infernal slaughter, they were still greeted by a dense forest of spears and shields.
At this time, the Jianzhou archers following the armored infantry finally began to show off their power. The missiles formed a black rain of arrows, which immediately caused a scream in the entire Great Zhou Infantry formation.
The power of Jianzhou archers cannot be boasted. In previous history, this kind of large and slightly recurved bow, which was later named Qing Bow, occupied an absolute position in the history of East Asian cold weapons in the following two centuries.
Dominant position, and the Jianzhou archers brought their power to the extreme.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat finally began. The first line of defense composed of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers was not enough to stop the Jianzhou armored infantry who were already in a jealous and desperate state.
They rushed here after experiencing life and death, and just wanted to kill everyone and everything in front of them.
Although the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers of the Great Perimeter were still brave, facing the opponent's desperate attack without fear of death, they were indeed difficult to resist. They could only retreat continuously or be killed by breakthroughs.
However, for the fire gun soldiers behind them, they have already prepared for hand-to-hand combat, but before that, they still need to methodically fire in three rounds, constantly shooting out the projectiles in the gun chamber, and killing as many people as possible.
The enemy weakened the thickness of the Jianzhou armored infantry phalanx, making it difficult for it to sustain the intensity of subsequent attacks.
This bloody battle can be said to fully reflect the bloody and brutal nature of mixed warfare.
In the first half, the Zhou army made full use of the power of firearms to kill and injure the Jianzhou army. It can be said that they did it to the extreme.
Feng Ziying, who was standing at a high place, estimated that by the time the Jianzhou Army broke into the infantry square of the Zhou Army, the number of casualties inflicted on the more than 10,000 Jianzhou Army by hawk-billed muskets, squatting tiger cannons and fire muskets would not be less than four.
Thousands of people.
This is a quite shocking number. You must know that the Jianzhou Army in Eyidu's hands is only about 14,000 people, which is already more than 30%, and this is only the first day of the battle.
The next hand-to-hand battle would be even more brutal, but in the second half Feng Ziying knew that the Jianzhou armored infantry would definitely have the upper hand, but this did not mean that the price they paid would be small. They thought they had broken through the defense line of the Great Perimeter Spearmen and Sword and Shield Soldiers.
, the remaining Fire Soldiers will be slaughtered by them like lambs, then they are thinking wrong.
Tuluha's eyes were red, and he struggled to parry the opponent's sudden spear. The mace in his hand hit the opponent's temple hard, and the helmet wings suddenly dented, and the pain in the opponent's eyes gave him endless pain.
of pleasure.
He raised his foot to knock the opponent down, then stepped on the opponent's chest with one foot, jumped up, smashed the shield of another Liaodong soldier with his shield, and poked out the mace in his hand again, with the sharp spikes at the tip of the mace.
Pierce into the leather armor on the opponent's chest and along the gap between the goggles and the leather armor.
A stream of dark red blood came out of his chest. The opponent tried to struggle and hit Tuluha with the knife, but Tuluha didn't care at all. He raised his leg to dodge and bumped the opponent with his shoulder. He had already lost his strength.
The opponent suddenly fell to the ground.
Tuluha was still not satisfied, so he killed four of the opponent's soldiers. He must kill ten of the opponent's soldiers to pay homage to his dead brothers and companions.
These damn Han people actually used those sneaky firearms to attack their own side. Although Tuluha still felt a little scared about the death of his brothers and friends, at this time, in close combat, as a Jurchen warrior, he was helpless.
Stoppable.
The combat effectiveness of the Jianzhou armored infantry is indeed powerful, constantly tearing apart the spear, sword and shield formations of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army as the front line of defense, and also putting huge pressure on the entire defense line of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army. However,
The gunmen of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army did not stop either. They kept retreating and distanced themselves from the defense line composed of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen. They took advantage of the distance and continued to shoot at the Jianzhou armored infantry and crossbows.
The rear formation formed by hands was temporarily invisible in the forefront of the fight. Only Feng Ziying and the generals in the rear formation could see this changing change.
Although the spear team and the sword and shield team suffered heavy losses, the Jianzhou armored infantry and crossbowmen continued to fall in the rear formation, and the fire gunners also continued to fall under the projectiles of the Jianzhou crossbowmen.
However, every fallen gunman was immediately replaced, and the formation remained stable.
Finally, Tuluha knocked down the last Great Zhou Sword and Shield wielder, leaving only the Great Zhou Fire Gun wielder who had retreated more than ten steps back in front of him. Everything had become a smooth road, and only the Great Zhou Fire Gun wielder was left in front of him.
The guy who burned the fire stick would have to kill ten or a hundred of them in one go before he would give up!
Protecting his body with a shield, Tuluha howled violently and ran. There were still a few bloody bone residues hanging on the mace in his hand. The dark red blood had stained his entire right side along the handle of the mace.
The palms and backs of his hands even soaked through the leather armor of his right arm.
With Tuluha's breakthrough, the entire defense line of spears, swords, and shields in front of them finally collapsed. The remaining soldiers ran backwards and fled around, like a torn curtain, completely exposing the entire phalanx of firecrackers and claws.
In front of the Jianzhou armored infantry who choose people to eat.
Tuluha couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly. He suddenly looked back and roared at his comrades: "Kill them all and avenge them!"
