Chapter Forty-Seven: And Then

At first, Herrera, who saw a great victory in his own hands, did not notice the Ming visitors pouring out of the dense forest behind him.

Because the aborigines did not break through their line, so that all the eyes of the half-blood legion were focused on the front, and at the beginning, the Ming army's movement out of the dense forest was far and light, so no one noticed the changes in the rear.

The first to walk out of the forest was Shao Bianjiao, as the main general of the battlefield, he was not in the middle of the formation, but personally led a hundred households at the end of the formation, from the southernmost west of the battlefield out of the dense forest.

No one wanted to fight with a sloppy image, and the hundreds of households under Shao Bianjiao reached an agreement before the battle, leaving time for the flag army to tidy up their manners.

But even so, the mess that walked through the dense forest after landing was not cleaned up in a while, and although they were not in rags, their appearance was far from when they first came out of the Beiyang.

Some people carry big round wheels, some people carry axles, some people carry the frame and some carry the arrow platform, and each hundred households also lead a few small donkeys, and the donkeys' backs are full of all kinds of rockets, and they just come out of the jungle in a sloppy and sloppy way.

Suddenly the eyes are bright.

Everyone didn't speak, only communicated with gestures, and Zhen Kaiyuan, the hundred households behind Shao Bianjiao, quickly commanded the flag army to list the round-firing formation, and a small flag soldier quickly assembled the rocket car, and the twelve rockets were stuffed into the injection platform.

After completing all this, Shao Bianjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several standard-bearers behind him carefully took out various military flags from their arms, strung them on the long pole in their hands, and issued orders to the other hundred households that were still hiding in the forest.

They are the only long soldiers among the twelve hundred households, which is also the disadvantage of this Ming army, it is very difficult to carry only a few flagpoles through the primeval jungle, if all the troops are like in the Nanyang battle with Zhang Wu long soldiers, maybe they are exhausted by now.

This is a very serious disadvantage for them, and the lack of long soldiers means that they need to win with birds' guns, and even if they have guns, they can only have a slight advantage in length against short soldiers, and they cannot compete with the Spanish spears at all.

So Shao Bianjiao had a plan to win by hitting the big luck, and if possible, he wanted to shoot Herrera directly with a rocket three miles away.

This is also the reason why he is not in the Chinese army at this moment and runs to the right flank, after all, the weapon he uses is not a heavy artillery, if it is a ten-pound heavy cannon, put together five guns and fire a salvo three miles away, it is possible to achieve this purpose.

But the weapon he wants to use is a rocket, which has little to do with the talent of the shooter, and can be launched almost if it is aligned.

Anyway, it's Schrödinger's precision.

If the artillery hits accurately, you will know when the shells fly out, but this is not the case with rockets.

Even if the rocket flies out, no one knows whether it will hit accurately or not, and no one knows until the rocket hits the ground, and no one knows whether it can be shot or not until it hits.

This kind of thing...... Shao Bianjiao felt that he had to come by himself, and these forty-eight newly-made divine machine arrows had to be released by himself, so that he would not blame others in his heart if he couldn't hit them.

It's good for everyone.

The biggest problem is not the accuracy of the rocket, the key is that Shao Bianjiao does not know where Herrera is.

Normally, the generals of the Ming army will be in the Chinese army, but whether the generals of the Western army also have this habit, Shao Bianjiao does not know.

What if they were with cavalry?

He looked north with a telescope, and the three phalanxes behind the western army did not move after the victory, and did not join the team pursuing the victory, which saved him a lot of effort, and the distance and the distance he drilled out of the forest was just the maximum range of the rocket.

"The Western Army military array, the Western Army military village, the rocket launch platform, three points and one line...... We have to move 200 steps to the east. ”

Shao Bianjiao muttered about the distance, commanded the hundred households to move eastward, and at the same time ordered the first hundred households to prepare to seize the military village, and the remaining eight hundred households assembled on the left side of the military village.

A group of flag troops walked out of the forest and marched slowly in the rear of the Western Army, although the Herrera Legion who was fighting in front of them still did not notice their meaning until this time, but the bell of the Western Army camp was ringing.

The bell the size of an iron bucket was pulled by a monk-like person to connect the hammer rope and rang again and again, and the hundreds of households that approached the military village at the front immediately stopped and looked at the military array where Shao Bianjiao was located - they had been discovered!

"That's it, stop the arrow cart!" Shao Bianjiao's face also changed, he just wanted to prevent the Herrera Legion in the north from finding out, but he forgot that there were also people left behind in the camp of the Western Army, so he simply boarded the arrow cart and quickly adjusted the launch position, and did not forget to order the standard-bearer: "Order the four departments of the front army to set up a wheel attack formation and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Go show me where the rocket lands!"

Although the accuracy of the rocket is beyond human control, there is still a general direction, and at present, his military formation is still dozens of steps away from the three-point line, Shao Bianjiao is afraid that the three phalanxes left in the rear by the Westerners will make some moves and the rocket will be empty, so he immediately jumped off the arrow car and pulled off the trigger attached to the side of the shooting platform next to the car.

This thing is also flint.

The iron and stone collided, the sparks ignited the rockets, and the snorting sound sounded on the firing stand, and in the shrill whistling, one rocket after another flew forward into the sky at an oblique angle, and then the warheads, which were heavy from the loading of gunpowder and fragments, reached the highest point six or seven hundred paces away, and then fell downward.

Not every rocket can fly so far, one rocket may be out of the firing platform when the gunpowder spray direction is not quite right, far from flying so high, very simply rubbing the flank of one of their own hundred households flag army in front of a monk in the western military camp.

The medicine was not burned out, and even if it landed on the camp first and made a hole in it, it still ran out of another place after knocking the monks to the ground and jumping around, and slammed left and right in the camp.

Most of the rockets still fell steadily on the heads of the three companies of the Western Army in the preset direction according to the preset direction, and whether they could blow up people is a matter of later words, at least the direction is roughly correct.

In fact, it was only eight or nine breaths, and one explosion after another sounded in the north, Shao Bianjiao ignored it, he was busy asking the left and right flag armies to help him put the next rocket into the firing platform.

The rockets falling from the sky really reminded Herrera that the enemy came from behind, no one expected such a shocking change, and the ears had just heard the scream, and when they turned around, the rockets were already scattered all over the sky, and they smashed down with a crushing momentum.

Through the scattered rockets, one could see not far from the edge of the jungle, at some point standing in a neat formation, uniformly dressed in dark blue uniforms, their flags unfurled with words written on them that Herrera could not read.

Everyone knows that the Ming army is coming!

A rocket rained down on Herrera, who luckily had a musketeer by his side.

I don't know whether to say that this musketeer is unlucky or lucky, the rocket smashed on his high-topped helmet like a missile, and the huge momentum smashed the high-topped helmet into deformation, and the head under the helmet naturally couldn't be saved.

The iron warhead of the rocket, which used the crude prefabricated fragmentation process, could not withstand such a large force, and the fragmentation layer outside the iron shell of the explosive torn torn cracked in the deformed helmet.

Herrera thought that this was an unknown projection weapon of the Ming army, and looked at the musketeer who was stoned to death with trepidation, and at the same time laughed at this rare weapon with such a small number of powerful weapons.

And then it blew up.
