Chapter 2301 Guizi Scroll Iron Cavalry Highlights Swords and Guns (7)

   "Ah!" Tuluha howled uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, a direct brother of his own, a good friend he grew up with, died unexpectedly. Such a strong stimulation made Tuluha feel that his eyes were about to burst, and there was a foul breath in his throat. Almost gushing out, to make him have an urge to see people and kill Buddhas.

   No matter who stood in front of him, at this moment he had to kill them all to vent his inner rage.

   This kind of scene happened almost everywhere in the armored infantry of Jianzhou who were charging at a high speed.

   The formation that charged forward seemed to be punched suddenly, and suddenly shrank back, becoming more and more uneven.

After the loud noise, the stones and iron **** spewed out by the "beast" with sharp edges and corners were scattered in mid-air, forming a semi-arc curved strike zone, screaming towards the bravely advancing A group of Jianzhou armored infantry swept across.

  The shield is broken, the bones are broken, the tendons are broken, the flesh is rotten, and the blood is spattered. No matter where they hit, they can't stop the violent power of this kind of gunpowder explosion.

The armored infantry in Jianzhou basically hold wooden shields. Pure iron shields are impossible. They are too heavy, and there are not so many good iron materials to make pure iron shields. They are basically thick wooden shields. , Some well-to-do families will wrap some iron sheets left over from making iron leaf armor on the outside of the wooden shield. This is a luxury.

  No matter what kind of wooden shield it is, it is enough to resist ordinary crossbow arrows and firecrackers, but it is obviously not enough to face this kind of close-range shelling.

   One hit, the shield shattered and people died, it was almost an inevitable outcome, especially such a close-range sweep, which maximized the power of the tiger crouching cannon.

  The angle of the base of the Tiger Crouching Cannon can be adjusted so that the muzzle can move up and down appropriately, and the range and strength can be adjusted appropriately. For the Jianzhou armored infantry charging forward, this is simply a disaster.

Each artillery array is composed of more than a dozen tiger squatting cannons. They formed a dense fire net according to the preset angle and direction, and fired the first wave of sweeping waves in a very short time, directly severely injuring Edu The proud armored infantry formation.

In this first round of strikes, Feng Ziying initially estimated through observation that at least 600 to 800 armored soldiers fell down after being shot, and this kind of falling basically meant that they could not get up. Comrades will trample them to a pulp.

It should be said that the tiger squatting cannon has exerted considerable power against such an infantry phalanx, and the effect is excellent, and its deterrent effect on the infantry of the Jianzhou Army is even greater. The shock, panic and fear are indescribable.

  Before Feng Ziying tasted it, there was another burst of relatively scattered but more fragmented explosions, and the smoke continued to linger at the back end of the Dazhou army formation, which was the continued exertion of the eagle-billed blunderbuss.

They don't have the power of a single blow like a tiger squat cannon, but this kind of sequential strike can choose the strike point better and more accurately. According to the previous arrangement, they have to limitedly attack the outstanding soldiers of the Jianzhou armored infantry who are running at the forefront. to slow down the speed at which they rush to the front of their own infantry phalanx, and buy more time for the tiger crouching guns and firecrackers.

Even at this distance, the eagle-billed gun can still easily break through the wooden shields of the Jianzhou armored infantry. Although it cannot be broken, it penetrates the wooden shield with the same lightness. Enter the soldier's body and tear all the muscles and bones in front of it.

   Another hundreds of armored infantry fell on the battle line they were about to reach, only a few dozen steps away.

The second round of tiger squatting artillery strikes came more fiercely, still facing the enemy directly in front. Since the Jianzhou armored soldiers appeared denser at this time, the power of this round of artillery attack was greater, but because of the projectile curve Straighter and more bloody, but less damage to enemies.

   But it doesn't matter anymore, the gunner at this distance still methodically started three rounds of shooting after this blow.

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!" The smoke filled the sky with a choking smell and diffused over the entire infantry phalanx of the Great Zhou Army. , using the power of firearms to the extreme, sweeping away all enemies who dare to challenge the rules, and killing them all!

  Even if the Jianzhou armored infantry finally rushed to the front of the formation staring at this purgatory-like massacre, they were still greeted by dense forests of spears and shields.

  At this time, following the armored infantry, the Jianzhou archers finally began to show their power. The projectiles formed a black cloud of arrows and rained down, and immediately formed a scream in the entire Dazhou infantry phalanx.

The power of Jianzhou archers is not something to brag about. In the history of previous lives, this kind of big bow, which was later named Qing bow, was slightly recurved, and it occupied an absolute position in the history of cold weapons in East Asia in the following two centuries. The dominant position, and the Jianzhou archer has brought its power to the extreme.

  The brutal hand-to-hand combat finally started. 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 state of jealousy.

  They rushed here after going through life and death, just wanting to kill everyone and everything in front of them.

  Although the Da Zhou spearmen and sword and shield soldiers were still brave, they were indeed hard to resist in the face of the opponent's desperate assault. They could only keep retreating or be killed by breakthroughs.

However, for the firecrackers behind them, they are already ready for hand-to-hand combat, but before that, they still need to methodically fire in bursts in three stages, constantly shooting out the bullets in the chamber, and killing as much as possible. The enemy weakened the thickness of the armored infantry phalanx in Jianzhou, making it difficult to sustain the strength of subsequent attacks.

   This **** battle can be said to fully reflect the **** and tragic degree of mixed warfare.

  In the first half, the Zhou army made full use of the power of firearms to inflict damage on the Jianzhou army, which can be said to be the ultimate.

Feng Ziying, who was standing on a high place, estimated that by the time the Jianzhou army rushed into the infantry phalanx of the Great Zhou army, the hawk-beaked guns, tiger squatting guns, and firecrackers would have caused at least no less than four hundred casualties to the more than 10,000 Jianzhou troops. Thousands of people.

   This is a rather appalling number. You must know that the Jianzhou Army in the hands of the entire Eyidu is only about 14,000 people, which is more than 30%, and this is only the first day of the battle.

The following hand-to-hand combat will be even more tragic, but Feng Ziying knows that the Jianzhou armored infantry will definitely have the upper hand in the second half, but this does not mean that the price they pay will be small. , the remaining gunfire soldiers will be slaughtered by them like lambs, then they are wrong.

With red eyes, Tuluha tried his best to block the spear that passed by the opponent suddenly, and hit the opponent's temple with the mace in his hand. pleasure.

He kicked the opponent down with his foot, then jumped up with one foot on the opponent's chest, smashed the shield of another Liaodong soldier with his shield, and stabbed the mace in his hand again. The sharp spikes on the tip of the mace Pierce into the leather armor on the opponent's chest, and penetrate along the gap between the heart guard and the leather armor.

A stream of dark red blood came out from his chest. The opponent wanted to struggle to hit Tuluha with a knife, but Tuluha didn't care at all. He raised his leg and bumped into the opponent with his shoulder. He had already lost his strength. The other party crashed to the ground.

  Tuluha was still not satisfied, so he beheaded four soldiers of the opponent. He must kill ten soldiers of the opponent to pay homage to his dead brother and partner.

These damned Han people actually used those sneaky firearms to attack their own side. Although Tuluha still felt a little fear of the death of his brothers and friends, but at this time, in the close combat, he was a Jurchen warrior. unstoppable.

The fighting power of the Jianzhou armored infantry is indeed mighty, constantly tearing apart the spears, swords and shields of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army as the front line of defense, and it also puts great pressure on the entire defense line of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army, but The gunners of the Liaodong Army and the Northern Front Army did not stop. They kept retreating, distanced themselves from the defense line formed by swordsmen and spearmen, and continued to shoot Jianzhou armored infantry and crossbows by taking advantage of the distance. The rear formation composed of hands, this is temporarily invisible in the front line of fighting, only Feng Ziying at the height and the generals in the rear formation can see this change.

The spear team and the sword and shield team suffered heavy losses, but the Jianzhou armored infantry continued to fall in the rear just like the crossbowmen. But every gunner who fell was replaced immediately, and the formation remained stable.

Finally, Tuluha knocked down the last Da Zhou sword and shield player, and only the Da Zhou gunner, who had retreated more than a dozen steps, was left in front of him. Everything had become a smooth road, and only The guy who burns the fire stick, he will kill ten or hundreds of them in one go before he will give up!

Protecting his body with a shield, Tuluha screamed and ran, a few **** bone residues were still hanging on the mace in his hand, and the dark red blood had already stained his entire right hand along the handle of the mace. The palm and back of his hand even soaked through the leather armor of his right arm.

Accompanied by Tuluha's breakthrough, the defense line of spears, knives and shields in front of him finally collapsed, and the remaining soldiers fled backwards and in all directions, like a torn curtain, completely exposing the entire phalanx of firecrackers to the barren teeth and claws. In front of the Jianzhou armored infantry who chose to eat someone.

  Tuluha couldn't help laughing wildly up to the sky, turned his head suddenly, and roared to his comrades: "Kill them all, avenge your sons!"
