Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth: Draw a Sword (For Support!)
The shells shot from the sky fell like meteors.
On the original scorched earth, when the Yan army wanted to rescue the injured, especially when someone reacted and wanted to save Yan Chengzong, they were so scared that they could no longer dare to move forward. They could only watch and tremble unconsciously.
In fact, in terms of the power of this flowering bullet, in the previous life, it was barely the lethal level of the late eighteenth century, and at most it was just the peak period of black gunpowder.
But when placed here, it is like a killer weapon.
The most important thing is that this new weapon and new ways of war have left the Northern Yan army with no way to resist. When they are still stagnant in the central army, they can be safe and safe, or the army should gather in intensive manner so that they can exert their great power, but they do not know that this is almost equivalent to dying.
Even if you are a thousand steps away, you can still beat you and you don’t recognize you. You gather together in a dense manner. Whether it is charging or protecting the central army, it is equivalent to committing suicide.
In the previous world, at the beginning, because of the low attack power of weapons and relatively backward long-range weapons, coupled with insufficient power, this led to the army fighting and likes to gather together the most.
The closer the formation, the greater the lethality and cohesion. However, as the attack power and range of long-range weapons increase, especially the power of heavy artillery, infantry gradually no longer form in dense formations that are easily damaged by huge artillery.
If the Yan army could be dispersed at this time, like sprinkled beans, forming a certain distance between each team or individual soldiers, the power of the cannon is now insignificant.
But now, they obviously didn't realize this.
When they saw the power of the cannon, they immediately became uneasy. The uneasy officers and soldiers did the stupidest thing. Uneasy people subconsciously would be willing to gather together, because in their cognition, the more people there were, people felt relieved. This is human instinct. After all, they had no experience in dealing with cannons.
I just feel that there are more people and more power, and maybe I can resist the artillery fire.
So, in the middle army, many officers and soldiers rushed towards densely crowded places, as if they could avoid the artillery fire as long as they gathered together. However, at this time, the shells began to land.
This time, the shot missed.
Or, at this distance, the cannons were not accurate. More than twenty cannons fell but did not fall next to Yan Chengzong. More than a dozen of them flew directly into the crowd.
When the huge explosion sounded, the disaster happened.
Boom...
In a dense crowd, shells exploded, sand and stones flew, and gunpowder filled with smoke. In an instant, within ten feet of radius, countless broken arms of countless people flew out, and countless steel balls beat the officers and soldiers farther away, and blood was pouring out. The power of this shell was astonishingly lethal. More than 30 people died on the spot, and countless injured people were injured.
Countless people wailed and whimpered, and more people subconsciously ran away with the crowd.
Then, shells exploded one by one.
The entire Central Military Camp was in chaos.
In this pungent smoke, Yan Chengzong looked at all this in amazement. There were corpses around him, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. He instantly felt that the world was terrifying, and for a moment he was full of malice towards the world.
He coughed desperately. Although he saved his life, he was completely embarrassed. His body was covered in blood and could not tell which ones were his own and which ones were from others. Especially his shoulders, there was a broken finger hanging on him. He had no intention of paying attention. The two rounds of artillery raids caused the losses of the Central Military Camp to exceed five or six hundred people, and this... has not included the injured yet.
And what is really scary is not the case.
Among these five or six hundred people, a large number were military officers from the three prefectures of the Northern Yan Army, as well as the most elite escorts around him. As for the commanders and flag soldiers, they were even more unlucky and almost died.
Someone finally hugged him and hurriedly began to retreat.
The entire central army actually began to retreat. It was terrible. At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds, that is, to leave here. It was too terrible. If you stay here, isn’t this asking for death?
But as soon as the central army retreated, the rear battalion was a little panicked. They also heard the explosion and the smoke rising from the central army. Now they saw the people in front of them flocking back, and for a moment, they thought they were defeated. So everyone shouted: "Chen army is here, Chen army is here."
This is the back team. If Chen Jun can fight the back team, it will be great. Those who don’t know think that Chen Jun has arrived from all directions, so the back team also begins to retreat. Some people are like frightened birds and don’t care about anything. So they trampled on each other and pushed them. Some people even raised their eyes and wanted to see where the central army was, but when they were lifted, they could see the coaching flag, so they felt even more panicked.
Before the incident could be realized, the soldiers who charged the front army had already rushed to the city gates in a dense manner. Many people even crossed the river. In this moat, there were corpses floating everywhere. On the shore, the corpses were piled up like mountains. Thousands of Northern Yan army finally began to set up ladders.
At this time, the muskets were still shooting wildly at the city, and the soldiers of the government began to get busy. They began to throw rolling woods and huge rocks under the city walls, and pots of hot oil poured down. Occasionally, a few cold arrows flew under the city walls, and people on the city walls fell down the city walls, but the Beiyan army was the worst. Countless people were burned with hot oil and bubbles all over their bodies, howled wildly, jumped into the moat, and some people were directly smashed into meat mud by the rolling woods and huge rocks.
The Hu people's first climb to the camp was like crazy, and they still climbed towards the cloud ladders desperately until the ladders were forked out by the people on the city wall. Finally, they hung directly in the air and turned backwards. The people on the ladders suddenly let out howls and fell from the air.
The muskets and gun barrels in the Warriors' hands were already burning red, and even the water could not cool down for a moment. Everyone in the city and under the city had their eyes red.
Crazy, everyone is crazy.
Even Li Dongzheng took the officials to the city wall road, and they frantically helped people send huge rocks and hot oil to the city wall.
The artillery teams have begun to recalibrate. This time the target is not the Yan army's rear team and the central army, but the vanguard army that is sieging the city under the city. Thousands of tragic people have suffered more than 20% of the damage at this moment.
But those who were eager to take revenge seemed to be desperate. Inspired by the courage of these Hu people, the other camps were all rushing to the forefront. Once their eyes were red, there was nothing to worry about on this battlefield where there were shouting and killing sounds everywhere. Reason had become a burden.
Xu Jie's forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing was a little breathing. He was a little panicked, not afraid, but because he found that it was too slow to recalibrate. These artillery seemed to need to be improved. However, at this time, he did not stingy with the cannons. Anyway, it was not his own money. Just pretending that the money was blown by the strong wind, he shouted: "Blooming bullets, flowering bullets!"
"Ignite...Ignite..."
The goal of calibration is to be in the middle of the vanguard army. In this way, an unmanned land can be formed to cut off the Yan army, so that the Yan army's ending cannot echo.
And this landing point is completely within the effective range. Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Cum."
Rumble, rumble...
The cannons roared, which was particularly shaking the sky and the earth.
The shells began to vent on the battlefield, and these Yan troops, which were charging intensively, suddenly fell over.
The Yan army in the front team was stopped by muskets, bows and arrows of the palace soldiers, rolling stones and hot oil. The Yan army in the back team saw heavy losses in front of them, and they had never seen such sharp artillery, and suddenly became uneasy. When they turned around, they realized that the central army and the rear team had already gone far away and ran...
Finally, some people became timid. Many of the vanguard Yan Army, who had originally launched a steady stream of offensives, simply fled in a hurry. In the moat, countless corpses were filled in the river. The front climbed the camp first and issued a final sprint. They gritted their teeth and continued to climb the ladder as if crazy.
At this time, someone began to climb up the city wall.
At this point, what the people on the city had to face was that more and more Yan troops climbing up the city wall first entered the camp, while the others either stayed under the city wall or... ran away cleanly.
Chen Kaizhi drew his sword and now shooting with muskets and bows is meaningless. In this narrow aisle, the sword is fighting for.
Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips curled gently, and a sneer passed by, and then he issued a stern order: "No one, etc., all the soldiers, officials, and civilians, will all be removed from the city wall!"
There are so many people and the more people stay here, the less effective they can fight back.
Rather, we will remove these people who have no lethality at all but are in the way.
"Warriors Camp! Draw your sword!"
"Draw your sword!"
"Draw the sword in the Warriors' Camp!"
At the command of Chen Kai, a large number of officials, as well as countless frightened soldiers and civilians, were awake at this time. They knew that the next step was to fight together. At this time, they did not dare to stay here anymore. They retreated from the city wall uneasyly, and the soldiers of the Warriors camp around them passed by them. They felt that they were lucky. In any case, they did not want to die. When they thought of going to face the Yan army, their scalp felt numb.
But the soldiers of the Warriors' Battalion who passed by them quickly began to assemble to the team beside them like nails. Around them, voices were conveying: "No one is involved, and the Warriors' Battalion will draw their swords!"
"Draw your sword!"
One after another, roaring with exhaustion, broke through the sky.
