Heaven and earth form a line, with green grassland below and blue sky and white clouds above.

After the firearms waded and crossed the river, they adjusted their alignments on the beach. The rectangular rifle arrays formed within a short time, and then became a horizontal, straight, large linear array slowly advancing forward.

Li Tan was watching the arrival of the firearms from the right wing.

Only based on the actual situation, they can drive and block the enemy forces in this semi-curved river beach area, which in itself represents the complete ability to carry out annihilation.

"The big man needs to know the actual combat capability of the rifle line array." Li Tan has nothing to be unhappy about. His ability to lead his troops to encircle the enemy has proved his talent: "Many people are waiting for the result."

The rest of the soldiers were not so happy. They spent nearly three months at war with the grassland coalition forces, repeatedly advancing hundreds of miles northward, and it was not easy to encircle an enemy army. As a result, they were given a hand, and the ripe peaches were to be picked. go with?

Regardless of willingness or rejection, military orders must be complied with.

The Han army on the left and right wings watched in silence the steppe coalition forces sending out cavalry to try to break through the encirclement south, and watching the riflemen who formed a long horizontal line steadily advancing forward, one person would have an idea. There is no shortage of waiting and watching. There are people who are friendly jokes.

"The frontier army, standing army, and the Junjishan school lieutenant department are busy working for several months to see today's scene."

"What we can solve in one charge, but we have to give it to others."

"I want to see how powerful that firearm is!"

"Look at it."

As the grassland coalition forces attempting to break through to the south got closer and closer to the rifle lineup, the unhappy soldiers could no longer stand it, and gossip spread.

The steadily advancing riflemen lined up, and stopped amidst the sound of military slogans.

"Get ready for shooting!"

The riflemen at the forefront of the line array began to charge and reload their ammunition.

Gunpowder is quantitatively packed by paper. It only needs to tear the package and put it into the barrel. It is no longer necessary to rely on experience to measure the amount of gunpowder loaded.

After setting up the gunpowder, the rifleman put the lead bullet into the barrel, and then pushed it back and forth several times with the cleaning rod.

After the reloading action was completed, the riflemen in the first line array did not immediately make an aiming move, just like the second two rows of robes in the same line array, they stood quietly and waited for the next order.

"It looks complicated." It's not the first time Julian has seen a musket, but he has never seen the process of charging and loading ammunition: "Are they waiting for the enemy to approach?"

"It is reported that the farthest range of the rifle of the Han army is more than 300 han meters." Flavis looked at the cavalry of the prairie coalition forces who were constantly galloping forward: "Looking at the process of their loading just now, the average is about 30 han seconds. It’s only about twenty ham seconds for the cavalry to hit 300 hams?"

"The rate of fire is slower than that of the archer, but the range has an advantage." Julian said in a guessing tone: "They can only shoot one round at most. Could it be that they will fight melee?"

Not only the Romans are speculating, but the people from all over the world are talking about the fact that most people are not optimistic about the battle between the Han riflemen and the steppe cavalry. They think that based on the cavalry charge speed, the Han riflemen can only shoot one round at most. .

The artillery at the back of the rifle formation only had twenty guns in a ready-to-fire state, and the rest of the artillery did not move much.

Twenty guns entering the ready-to-fire state are not large in caliber, all of which are 75mm styles.

Amidst the fluctuating sounds of each other, the artillery completed the action of charging and reloading, and adjusted the elevation angle of the muzzle and the direction of the muzzle in the bursts of commands.

"One thousand meters!"

"Nine hundred meters!"

"...Six hundred meters!"

"Five hundred meters!"

Twenty guns arranged in a horizontal straight line, one of which was arranged for calibration. It was fuse-fired during the action of the gunner waving a red flag.

The short fuze quickly burned toward the barrel, the propellant inside the barrel erupted with a muffled sound, and the shell was shot out by a huge force.

The cannonball roared in midair, breaking through the air and tumbling and flying. It had a burning fuse while it was flying. When it almost completely lost its kinetic energy, the fuse also fell to the core of the cannonball. A muffled sound was just above the ground. As it exploded in mid-air about five meters away, countless iron **** blasted towards the periphery from the center of the explosion.

From a peripheral point of view, the moment the shell exploded, the prairie cavalry within seven or eight meters below, their bodies suddenly appeared one after another, and the huge body of the horse underneath was covered by iron beads. There were more hits, and even people and horses were killed in an instant, and there were scenes of people turning their backs on horses for a while.

"preparation!"

"fire!"

The rhythm of the cannon sounds one after another, and every time the bronze cannon fires, there is a tremor on the ground.

Bronze guns that fired, their body trembling under a thrust, the base was set to roll the two wheels backward under the thrust to remove the recoil, and the gunner reset the bronze cannon.

The continuous sound of explosions once again appeared on the heads of the prairie cavalry on the way to the charge, staged a scene of gunpowder burning and sparks splashing, and iron beads flying deadly.

At that moment, more than one person made a "hiss!!!" inhalation sound, it was when they saw the gorgeous and **** scene, they couldn't help taking a breath.

The prairie cavalry within the shelling range died if they were dead, and lost the ability to think if they were not dead.

The surviving prairie cavalry simply let the horses sit down in a dazed state and let the horses decide on their own.

"This, this, this..." Xias returned to his senses and found that he was lying softly on the grass, but his head became an unnatural angle to look at the absolute miserable situation for the prairie cavalry ahead. : "Horrible!"

Xiasi was not the only crooked nut who was frightened and fell to the ground. There were also a large group of people lying or kneeling around him. Except for loss of consciousness, everyone's face was full of shock and distortion.

It is not the first time that some of them have seen the shelling scene. Although the shelling on the Asan Continent is vast and powerful, it is like a volcanic eruption. The same blood and horror.

The better the eyesight, the better they can know the power of the shelling. Just imagine that you are in an environment where iron beads are spreading and lasing. Every part of your body will start to feel pain, and the internal organs will also have an illusion of trembling.

"It's impossible to guard against..." Cambyses's face was pale: "There is nothing to guard against."

The rain of arrows in the sky is terrible enough. The iron beads blasted after the explosion are much denser than the rain of arrows. Looking at the penetrating power of the human body or horse body being shot by the iron beads, it can be expected that the shield will not be able to prevent it at all. Thinking of being an enemy for the Han Empire, they would encounter that kind of blow sooner or later, and everyone couldn't help shuddering.

As the prairie cavalry on the front line, they were fortunately not within the shelling range, but everyone turned their heads and looked behind dumbfoundedly, subconsciously wanting to escape the battlefield.

"Ready for the first row!"

The steppe cavalry who charged at the front line had already entered within one hundred and eighty meters of the rifle line array.

"shooting!!!"

The sound of "popping" like frying beans rang out. The riflemen who used smokeless gunpowder did not fall into the misty shroud. After the shooting, the riflemen did not have time to watch the results. They moved back according to their usual training. Shooting position.

The riflemen who made up for the shooting position forward, when they were aiming, they saw that the enemy army in front was swept down in patches.

"preparation!"

The riflemen who saw the enemy's tragedy, no matter whether they were nervous or not, found that the distance was so far, they could sweep down the enemy in one piece, and their mentality immediately stabilized.

"shooting!!!"

There was another explosion of "pap pap" fried beans, the rifle soldier who had finished shooting turned and took his legs, and missed the robe in the forward shooting position, and began to clean the barrel.

Two volleys of guns were fired, as far as two hundred and forty meters away and close to eighty or ninety meters away. Only a handful of prairie cavalry within the firing range stood unharmed and stood there, even if they were not on the spot. Shooting, also became a blood man lying on the ground wailing.

With only scattered prairie cavalry remaining, the third volley of guns is unnecessary.

The riflemen entered a short trimming posture, and the rangers arranged on the flanks were dispatched to deal with the standing steppe cavalry.

"Okay!" Li Tan's eyes were full of excitement: "We have lived up to this general's expectations!"

The shelling with special ammunition was amazing. At least seven or eight hundred of the two to three thousand prairie cavalry fell under the shelling. The rest of the prairie cavalry were frightened out of control by their horses. The next battle was also unexpected. matter.

The riflemen formed a volley in a line, and the scene made the generals who were in pursuit of order find it pleasing to the eye no matter how they looked at it.

A volley is because you are far away, you can observe the results more clearly. It is a dense sweep of projectiles, and within the shooting range, people don’t know how to dodge the intensive firepower.

"Isn't it just to disintegrate the enemy's charge..."

"Just...that's..., we lay down an arrow formation, so that the enemy's corpses can run across the field."

"It is extremely, it is extremely. The arrow formation will not lose to their salvo at all, and the scene is even more spectacular."

"Even if you don't lay down arrow formations, cavalry rushing to each other can easily resolve the enemy."

The Han army on the left and right wings kept talking, all kinds of non-acknowledgment in their mouths, but whoever sees on their faces is either weird or convinced.

They knew that they could do it too, but they would never be as clean as the firearms troops. At the same time, it is absolutely impossible for them to eliminate the two or three thousand enemy cavalry in a charging posture with zero casualties.

"Well, I am curious, pure curiosity. How can I pass the selection to enter the firearms army."

"Yes, I am just as curious. Does any brother know?"

"I really like the fire stick, and a new-style military uniform is pretty good too!"

Moving closer to the strong is the commonality of intelligent creatures, and becoming a member of the strong is even more desirable.

The standing army is selected through repeated selections. It is not that there are cultural classes every few days in a state of war, but only after seeing an amazing display. People with more flexible minds immediately understand the good and the bad.

"Asshole stuff, since it is experimental, as long as it performs well, it will definitely be promoted and installed gradually."

"My team is an elite team. Once you decide to change your outfit, it will definitely be faster than other troops. What's the hurry?"

"Ha, ha..., you have to be gifted, but we have worked so hard to surround the enemy. The credit is great, and we must give priority to us when we change clothes."

From disdain, to shock, to envy, it was a change of thought in a short period of time.

If the appearance of the firearms troops were not so stunning, they would still resent that they were robbed of their credit and wait to see the performance of the firearms troops. Although they were still a little dissatisfied, they still wanted to devote themselves to it.

Li Tan can also find out what kind of mental journey his troops have gone through, and he deliberately gave the firearms more opportunities to perform, and ordered: "Let them advance all the way."

The firearms unit was temporarily planned for the Shogunate sequence of General Zhengbei, and the order from Li Tan was naturally to be carried out.

The movement on this side was heard by the rest of the grassland coalition forces, but it was difficult to see the whole picture from a long distance.

The firearms continued to advance in a line formation, and along the way they encountered several prairie cavalry who took the initiative to attack.

When the number of enemy troops was small, the firearms did not carry out large-scale shelling, but only fired one or two cannons to intimidate the enemy's horses.

Riflemen are based on the number of enemy troops. There are several line-array riflemen that perform volleys, demonstrating line-array single-line firing, three-stage rounds firing, line-array cross-fire volleys, etc. Soldier shooting demonstration.

"The enemy's horses have not undergone special training. It is rare to hear the explosion without losing control." Li Tan can see clearly ~ lightnovelpub.net~ The impact of the shelling on the enemy's horses is extremely serious: "Ours Only the rangers belonging to the firearms have been specially trained for war horses. It seems that it is an inevitable trend to train war horses not to be frightened by the sound of artillery in the future."

On the battlefield, the firearms troops have advanced to within five miles of the enemy's army. The line of riflemen has changed horizontally, and the bronze guns have begun to be deployed with different calibers and ranges.

"The firearms don't seem to be suitable for a battlefield that is too open?" Xi Yan pointed out that once the enemy's horses are no longer alarmed by the explosion: "With the rifleman's firing speed, there are no more than three chances to fire."

Li Tan thought for a while and nodded his approval. He began to imagine how he should command the riflemen and how to deal with the cavalry charge.

Before every battle, there is bound to be a special silence on the battlefield.

The current battlefield was plunged into that period of silence. What broke the situation was the constant roar of military orders, and the riflemen formed a line to advance again.

The artillery that entered the ready-to-fire state, they have completed the action of charging and reloading, and as the order to fire was issued, they issued a special roar on the battlefield...
