The Forward Battalion Ashigaru Brigade, which was at the forefront, stared at the shell at a glance, and the soldiers began to dodge to the sides following the path that the shell might take when it fell, and a path was quickly dodged in the phalanx. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoPlease search to see the most complete! The fastest update novel should know that this round shell is not rifled in the barrel, and the circular shell is subject to great air resistance, so the flight speed is not high, and if the eye is fast and the distance is long, it is not impossible to dodge such a shell. And now it appeared that the height of the shell was clearly a little high, and the trajectory seemed to pass over the top of the marching phalanx, rather than smash into the ranks, and some people in the phalanx were already laughing at the enemy in the fortress for having a cannon with a very long range but not being able to use it.

The enemy branch is far away from the ghost knot by the moon feather early feather

But the problem is that this shell is completely different from the previous solid shell, this is a grenade with a timed fuse, it was not intended to plunge directly into the marching queue from the beginning, in order to exert its power, it is necessary to make the shell explode in the air at a height of six or seven meters above the opponent's head.

As expected, the shell exploded as it flew over several marching phalanxes, and the scattered shrapnel swept across the ground like hail, instantly emptying a large part of the ashigaru in the phalanx below as if they had been slapped with tofu. A large piece of shrapnel struck the turf and bounced off the head of a panicked soldier who wanted to flee backwards, and then smashed it the head of the former army general in the middle of the marching formation.

After the distant hatred of the place, after the study of the moon, the far main month

This piece of shrapnel has lost most of its kinetic energy, and at this time, with a whistling sound and blood, the general's eyes are full of Venus, and he falls directly off his horse with his feet in the sky. More than a dozen soldiers hurriedly jumped off their horses and rushed forward to help him up.

The general's face was now covered with blood, and he couldn't figure out whether it was someone else's blood or his own, only that the Venus in front of him was flowing bloody, and his ears were filled with the buzzing sound of tinnitus, and he only saw the soldiers around him open their mouths wide but couldn't hear what they were saying, so he quickly took off his helmet and looked at it. The shrapnel failed to penetrate his iron helmet, not only successfully cracking and peeling off a lot of paint on the iron helmet, but also directly punching a pit in it.

All the people who saw this pit were all frightened, and they all looked up and looked around, only to see that the hundred-man foot light team that had been swept away by the explosion just now had only more than 30 people left, most of them were blackened by the black smoke of the explosion, and even more their clothes and armor had been blown up, their weapons were damaged, and they were spinning in place or standing there stupidly. The Ashigaru Brigade's Ashigaru General had already been killed on the spot, and several soldiers shook his body in vain in an attempt to wake him up.

"What should I do?" The buzzing in the general's ears finally became a little quieter, and then he heard someone on the side shouting eagerly, "General, what should we do?" He suddenly looked back at the person who was speaking, and his head was dizzy and he didn't know who this person was.

At this moment, the soldiers in front of them exclaimed, and everyone hurriedly looked to the east, and a wooden fort on the left side of the original castle rose again, and then there was a "boom".

Although the cannonball also swept over their heads, it did not explode in the air, and fell a hundred and twenty paces behind, and the soldiers in the phalanx that were swept by the cannonball all breathed a long sigh of relief.

"They still have a cannon!" Someone shouted, and the place where the smoke was sprayed this time was obviously different from the place before.

"My lord, shall we evacuate?" A general of Ashigaru shouted from the side, "There are two great general's cannons here, we can't attack them!" ”

"Myths confuse the public!" Someone on the side scolded, "Why can't you attack it?" It was only a little more than a mile from here to the bottom of the city, and the artillery reloading time was time-consuming and labor-intensive, so we could use the cavalry to quickly attack the enemy so that it could not be reloaded, and then use the infantry to come forward and suppress it with bows and arrows. ”

"Yes!" Someone hurriedly added, "There are not many people on the tower of the city of my view, it should be about 400 people, and although we have suffered losses now, there are still more than 700 people." Saying that, he also looked back, "If you attack it twice, if you don't attack it at this time, will you stand here and be beaten?" ”

The general finally regained some senses, looked at the castle in the distance, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and glanced at the soldiers who were killed by the explosion just now with some reluctance, but his heart was in turmoil.

If it is for him to choose, of course, it is better to retreat, and if he retreats, he can at least let Ito deal with this matter, not to mention that the order Ito gave him was to go to the port of Champa and join the emperor's army. The group of people who opened fire as soon as they met in front of them was obviously not the emperor's army, not to mention that they themselves said that it was the army of the Senate, which must be the enemy, although there were about 1,000 people in their front army, but they were still weak, and if they wanted to attack, they would have to wait until the Chinese army arrived to continue the attack.

But he didn't dare to order a retreat now, knowing that the other party had also warned him to stop and put away his weapons, if Ito came here and asked about this situation, he would inevitably be blamed, and then it would only be more troublesome. What's more, now that more than 200 people have been killed or wounded here, if they retreat rashly, their morale will inevitably drop greatly, and if the enemy sends cavalry to cover up and kill them, it will definitely cause a rout. Morale has always been a big thing, and if you retreat once, it will take ten times as long to remobilize.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold the hilt of his sword, turned over his horse, and waved his hand at the cavalry team, "Let's rush up and distract them!" So saying, he drove his horse forward.

The enemy is far away, and the ghost Sun Qiumo is troublesome and investigates the enemy

"Their cavalry charged!" A soldier pointed to a group of cavalry in the distance who rushed out from the left side of the approaching phalanx and shouted, "Chief, what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do?" Xue Ziliang laughed, and directly ordered the flag soldier beside him, "Order the machine gun to prepare to fire, and after entering the four hundred meters, concentrate fire." ”

"Yes, Chief!" The flag soldier hurriedly replied while waving the flag at the machine gun position of the wooden fort under the city. On the side, Liu Lihua hurriedly shouted at him, "One thing to add, don't stop firing!" It provoked a few elders next to him to laugh quietly.

The enemy was far from being the only one, and the forward battalion of the Ashigaru Brigade who was at the forefront of the artillery was staring at the shell at a glance, and the soldiers began to dodge to both sides according to the path that the shell might pass when it fell, and a path was quickly flashed in the phalanx. You must know that this kind of round shell is not accelerated by rifling in the barrel, and the circular projectile body is subject to great air resistance, so the flight speed is not high, and it is not impossible to dodge such a shell if you are quick and have a long distance. And now it appeared that the height of the shell was clearly a little high, and the trajectory seemed to pass over the top of the marching phalanx, rather than smash into the ranks, and some people in the phalanx were already laughing at the enemy in the fortress for having a cannon with a very long range but not being able to use it.

Li Zhen looked at the flag signal sent from the city wall above, turned to Fan Han who was loading, and shouted, "Keep firing, don't stop!" ”

The enemy is not the enemy, and the enemy hates the sun

Fan Han didn't care about anything else at this time, he only continued to speed up his actions, the loader in front of him had just wiped the barrel of the gun with wool felt dipped in water, he hurriedly went up to take a look, and indeed he didn't see any sparks, so he nodded to the loader. The loader hurriedly took out a silk-wrapped propellant bag and placed it in the muzzle, while the other loader put down the wool felt and pushed the propellant into the chamber with the loading rod.

The observer is holding a one-meter rangefinder made in Dongfang Port to measure the distance, "Six hundred and fifty meters away!" The ammunition man hurriedly turned the fuse of the shell to a position of 650 meters, and then put it in the chamber of the cannon, and then pushed it to the bottom by the loader to compact.

This kind of action loader has been practiced a lot, you must know that loading is also a handicraft, although the propellant is now wrapped in silk cloth, so as not to be too tightly loaded and cause an explosion, but to what extent to stuff the shell is not something that anyone can do. And because of the weight of the loading rod itself, it often leaves a mark on the shell of the grenade when loading, not to mention that this round shell is not easy to cast, and it will destroy the prefabricated fragments during loading to produce shell deformation, resulting in uncontrollable ballistics, so now we can only abandon the prefabricated fragments, so how many pieces can be blown up when the shell explodes purely depends on luck, and sometimes it is not uncommon to blow up two petals. In fact, it is better to make a shrapnel against such a cluster of targets, that is, to add a layer of steel balls to the outside of the shell, which can be shot forward when it explodes. But now these are completely in the shadow for Li Zhen, who was happily staring at the artillery shooting at this time. There is no straight trajectory without rifled guns, and no hownel shotguns can be used without a controllable straight trajectory, although the artillery at this time has been upgraded from last year's simple and crude random projectile ballistic flying thunder cannon to an easy-to-explode mortar, and then evolved to the current rifled gun, this evolution speed is simply faster than a rocket in the eyes of the Medno people, but for Li Zhen, who learned to practice howitzer shooting skills at the beginning, it is simply the feeling of playing with a group of poor dolls.

Fan Han didn't know what Li Zhen was thinking at this time, he only knew that he was staring at the cannon and the soldiers around him with great interest, and he didn't think much about it, so he quickly took out a fire tube, tied it with a thin rope, and punctured the silk cloth used to wrap the propellant with a long nail hanging on the side of the gun, and then stuffed the fire pipe inside.

The enemy is far away from the enemy, and Sun Qiu fights coldly to Sun Ke

Sun Qiuzhan, the enemy and the distant enemy, couldn't help but be interested in receiving Sun Ke coldly, and hurriedly asked, "What made their cavalry lose their attack power?" ”

The operators quickly rotated the high and low machines and the steering machine, returning the guns to the scale they had just recorded. This kind of aiming method is far more than eight streets away from the artillery of other forces in this time and space, they use more to put a cannon first, look at the distance, and then retract the point, and the height and pitch adjustment method they use is still carried out by nailing wooden wedges, so the soldiers in front of them always feel that they will not be able to fire a shot at least three or four minutes later.

With a "boom", the artillery of the No. 2 battery on the north side opened fire first, but because the distance between the ammunition handles was set incorrectly, it exploded about 50 meters in advance, causing no casualties to these enemies. Li Zhen felt a little furious in his heart, most of these naturalized artillery soldiers participated in this kind of smoothbore artillery battle for the first time, and there would always be all kinds of problems in the setting distance, either detonating in advance or delaying the detonation, which is still good, if it is not set up well, it will be blown up in the barrel of the cannon, then it is called scary. Although he did not participate in the attack on Wu'an Village, he also felt weak when he heard the scene of Lin Quan and Fan Han, who had seen the tragic situation of the explosion.

"Boom" No. 1 battery fired, this time Fan Han did not use the method of flying over his head to explode, but directly let the shells plunge into the crowd. However, the shooting effect was very bad, and the cast shell shattered quickly after hitting the ground, and the shell had already shattered when the fuse ignited the explosive, and did not cause much casualties except for a large fireball in the crowd.

"I'll go! Who told you to hit people directly with cannonballs? Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but he didn't know how to blame them, so he waved his hand and said, "Keep shooting." ”

The general was dressed in a green carcass and brandished a sword in his hand, and the horse under his crotch ran forward with all his might. The cavalry behind him also leaned forward, took off their horse bows from their backs, and bent their bows and arrows to prepare for firing.

"Shock machine gun?" Xue Ziliang smiled and said to Liu Lihua next to him, "These guys are here to send them to death, I think of a joke from before, since ancient times, the cavalry of the northern nomads has been a pest to mankind, attacking the cities in the south that are dominated by production and finance, and slaughtering the people at will, but when they enter the tenth century, they will no longer raid, do you know why?" ”

"Why?" Liu Lihua was stunned, he didn't think of this problem, you must know that China has been like a spell since ancient times, once the southern Han people develop the peak of financial culture, there will inevitably be a race full of ignorance and barbarism in the north to ride horses to rob and destroy the southern culture, whether it is Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di and even the later Liaojin Mongolia and the last Manchu Qing, all of them are the same, rush in, burn and loot, or continue to return to the north with the looted property and population, or directly sit in the Dragon Court, until it was overthrown by the bloody Chinese, the cycle of several reincarnations, really like a spell haunting the dead knot on the Chinese. One of the Xiongnu invaded the Balkans twice in the fourth century AD, besieged Constantinople, and once made an expedition to the Orleans region of Gaul, turned south and attacked Italy, and captured Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire, in 452 AD, leaving Western Rome in name only.

He couldn't help but be interested, and hurriedly asked, "What made their cavalry lose their attack power?" ”

Xue Ziliang smiled and nodded at the machine gun firing platform on the city wall and the wooden fort, "Because the machine gun ......"

At this time, the cavalry had already quickly rushed into the range of four hundred meters, Xue Ziliang raised his hand high, and shouted at the machine gun firing platform, "Machine gun fire!" The machine gunners, who had long been holding on to the machine guns, happily pulled the trigger, only to see a long tongue of fire spraying from the muzzle, and the bolt moved happily, pushing one bullet after another into the chamber, and then pulling out the shell window one by one. These 1628 machine guns differed from the 240 that were brought, and although they could be used as heavy machine guns on a gun carriage, they were far less stable than the 29-kilogram "heavy" machine guns. And because these heavy machine guns were fixed to the launch pad using a folding tripod, their accuracy was much higher than that of the previous two-wheeled gun carriages.

After the distant hatred of the distant place, learn from the lonely ship

After learning from the lonely ship by "Why?" Liu Lihua was stunned, he didn't think of this problem, you must know that China has been like a spell since ancient times, once the southern Han people develop the peak of financial culture, there will inevitably be a race full of ignorance and barbarism in the north riding horses to plunder and destroy the southern culture, whether it is Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di and even the later Liaojin Mongolia and the last Manchu Qing, all of them are the same, rush in, burn and loot, or continue to return to the north with the looted property and population, Or sit directly in the Dragon Court, until it is overthrown by the bloody Chinese, and the cycle of several reincarnations is really like a curse that lingers on the dead knot of the Chinese. One of the Xiongnu invaded the Balkans twice in the fourth century AD, besieged Constantinople, and once made an expedition to the Orleans region of Gaul, turned south and attacked Italy, and captured Ravenna, the capital of the Western Roman Empire, in 452 AD, leaving Western Rome in name only.
