"Boom, boom, boom......"

Hundreds of field guns began to bombard the coalition artillery that was constantly approaching the Yunzhou army at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the coalition musketeers continued to approach the Yunzhou army, these coalition artillery hidden in the army also took the opportunity to move forward, but all this could not hide the flag-bearers who were observing from hundreds of meters in the air.

The position of the enemy's artillery was constantly told to Luo Xin by the flag speaker, who then directed the artillery to shell in the direction pointed out by the flag speaker.

After a salvo, the coalition soldiers covering the artillery fell, and the coalition artillery was completely exposed to Luo Xin's eyes at this time, and then more fierce artillery fire bombarded the direction of the coalition artillery, and the screams suddenly rang out.

The tragic situation of the artillery soon reached the ears of Cui Huai and the second prince, and the two of them changed color when they heard the words, and at this time they looked at the strange thing rising in Yunzhou City, and a trace of strange color flashed in their eyes.

"This is the rumored hot air balloon." Cui Huai asked.

The second prince nodded, "That's right, I met it once when I was in Chang'an, and it is said that during the Battle of Jizhou, the Qingzhou Army also used this hot air balloon to reconnoiter the situation in the barbarian army." ”

"Hmph, if I'm not mistaken, there's a hot air balloon in Chang'an City."

"There is one, this is what Xiao Ming gave to his father back then, and now it should be in the hands of King Zhao." The second prince was dissatisfied, and this time King Zhao sent 40,000 cavalry, and he was reluctant to send this hot air balloon.

Otherwise, how could they be so passive now.

Zhao Ang's ears looked at his nose and nose, looking like he didn't know anything, and now all the people who were lost were the people of King Yan and King Liang, and he seemed to have some joy in his heart.

Cui Huai and the second prince were naturally distressed, and the strange-looking artillery on the raised high ground not far away kept firing round after round of shells, and now their artillery could not return fire at all.

However, at this time, they also gradually came back to their senses, and the range of their artillery did not seem to be as good as that of the Qi army.

It's just that the suppression of the artillery did not make them give up the attack, on the contrary, they ordered the army to continue to advance, after all, their soldiers were more than twice as large as the army of the Qi State.

Now the Qi army did not defend the city but fought them in the field, which was a chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The death of 1,000 artillery soldiers in the 350,000-strong army did not affect this war at all.

The sound of the "rumbling ......" war drums became more and more rapid, and the musketeers in the coalition army were still two hundred and fifty meters away from the Yunzhou army.

At this time, Lu Fei, who was in charge of the Chinese army, ordered the soldiers to raise their muskets, and this time the Chinese army was allocated 6,000 rifled guns to fight against the musketeers of the coalition army.

Although he could give the order to fire at about 400 meters, Lu Fei understood that the closer the distance, the more he could give full play to the advantage of dense firepower, so he finally decided to order the fire at a position of 250 meters, after all, the position of 400 meters was too poor.

"Fire!" Just when the allied musketeers were still slowly approaching the Yunzhou army, Lu Fei finally gave the order.

"Bang ......"

White smoke rose along with the flames, and the coalition musketeers, who were marching densely two hundred meters away, suddenly fell.

One of the coalition soldiers only felt something warm on his face, and then his companion fell down, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine when he looked at the Yunzhou City army with muskets in front of him.

But he didn't dare to stop, because behind them were the overseers with machetes, and if they took half a step back, they would be killed on the spot, and their relatives in their hometown would also be killed together, and they had received such orders after arriving in the state.

"Bang ......"

Another salvo fired, another batch of soldiers fell next to the coalition soldiers, and the number of musketeers became smaller and smaller.

Then came the third round, the fourth round, and every time there was fire and white smoke from the opposite side, they would fall a group of people, and finally, after the fifth volley, some of the musketeers could not bear the fear and tried to escape.

But they didn't have to go far before they were killed by the Overseers, and the screams stopped more soldiers who were trying to escape, and they marched towards Yunzhou City step by step.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, seventy meters, when they reached the firing range of the arquebus, they raised the arquebus.

Niu Ben on the artillery position stared at the musketeers of the coalition army, his brow furrowed at this time, his expression was solemn, and he noticed the presence of the overseers in the coalition army.

In the past, these musketeers would have broken up after losing 10%, but now the musketeers coming from the front have lost 40% and still do not retreat. Instead, they braved the fire of artillery and muskets to a firing distance of seventy meters.

"It looks like it's going to be a tough battle." Niu Ben said in a deep voice.

Luo Xin's expression was also a little surprised, this time King Yan and King Liang seemed to have made great determination, otherwise they would not have adopted such cruel means to force the soldiers to fight to the death.

"Change grape shells, let the mortar use lime shells and flowering shells, and the field guns will fire at the overseers!" In order to minimize casualties, Niu Ben ordered.

"Yes."

Luo Xin immediately ordered the flag speakers to play the flag, and at this time the artillery began to replace it with grapeshot shells, and artillery was the main force of war when the range of the artillery was longer than that of the flintlock gun.

"Boom Boom Boom ......" field artillery using grapeshot began shelling the Allied musketeers.

A grapefire shot was fired and immediately turned into a rain of hundreds of projectiles, and the musketeers who were about to shoot fell one by one screaming, and the ground was filled with the wails of wounded soldiers.

Lu Fei's expression on the opposite side did not show any pity, they had no grievances with these soldiers, but they were enemies on the battlefield, and if they didn't kill them, they would be killed.

Seventy meters was also the effective range of the flintlock pistol, and after withstanding a wave of Allied musketeers, he ordered the rifled flintlock and smoothbore flintlock to fire simultaneously.

Under heavy artillery fire and fire, the allied musketeers continued to fall, and finally, after losing seventy percent, the allied musketeers could no longer withstand a collective retreat.

"Death to those who retreat!" The Overseers roared, their machetes falling on each of the fleeing soldiers.

But by this time the threat of death had been unable to stop the soldiers from escaping.

Luo Xin watched the group of Overseers with a telescope, and he ordered the artillery to bombard the Overseers as they prevented them from retreating.

Gradually, the overseers found that their men were getting smaller and smaller, and they gradually lost their restraint on the army in front, and more and more soldiers broke up under the heavy artillery fire of the Yunzhou army.

Seeing this, Niu Ben breathed a sigh of relief, but he sighed in his heart at the same time, if King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao could come up with this method to deal with the barbarians, how could the barbarians bully the Great Yu Kingdom.

So at this time, he became more and more resentful of the kings of Yan, Liang and Zhao, who in his eyes were nothing more than a group of cruel tyrants.
