The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the distance between the frontmost cart and the phalanx has entered the range of field artillery from three to two miles, and from two to one miles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zuo Wuwei stared at the opponent calmly, one, five, ten, more and more cars came into range, he did not give the order to open the cannon, just waited patiently. It was only after most of the hundreds of trucks reached the optimal firing range that he decisively ordered: "Open the gun!" ”

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

The thunderous sound of the cannon sounded deafeningly, and the gun emplacements located at the two corners of the phalanx spewed huge flames, and the dense smoke enveloped all sides, and the heavy shells drilled out of the barrels under the strong thrust of the gunpowder, and flew towards the dense carts with a "whining woo".

The 10-pound iron ball drilled into the group of cars with strong kinetic energy, this kind of power is not something that human power can resist, and the seemingly sturdy cars are also vulnerable. The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and the shell hit the wooden plank in front of the car, and the thick wooden plank was torn apart in an instant, and the car fell apart in an instant, and the sandbags were torn open, and the sand and mud inside flew everywhere. Half of their bodies flew like smashed watermelons, bloody severed limbs and heads fell everywhere, while the rest were stuck in sawdust and debris like hedgehogs, rolling on the ground and howling.

The surviving coaters were terrified, and the speed of pushing the cart involuntarily slowed down. The Niu Lu Zhangjing people in the back immediately shouted: "Dog minions, hurry up, those who stop and retreat are dead!" ”

After more than a dozen stagnant coats were beheaded on the spot, the caravan procession, stunned by the artillery fire, continued to move forward.

After a short gap, the second round of shelling began.

The massacre of flesh and blood by heavy artillery was staged again, dozens of wagons were smashed apart by shells, hundreds of people were killed, and the cross-flying shells pierced the entire cart team diagonally, flying out with blood and meat scraps before falling to the ground.

After two rounds of shelling, the originally very dense fleet of wagons suddenly thinned out a lot. However, the number of chariots was too much, and there were still more than 100 chariots that passed through the blockade of artillery fire and advanced with difficulty to within 500 paces, and the first few chariots were even only 300 paces away from the phalanx.

Zuo Wuwei sighed, the lack of the number of 10-pound guns on the front is a hard injury. He gave the order: "10 pounds of artillery salvo a round of shotguns, artillery company 6 pounds of artillery shells ready for projectile projectiles." ”

Because of the restrictions on the angle of diagonal firing, the enemy would soon enter the blind spot of the field guns, and after the order was given, the emplacements of the field guns made the last shot, this time firing shotguns.

"Boom, boom", in the dense smoke, orange-red flames lit up from time to time, and one after another shotguns drilled out of the smoke, exploded in the air, and split into hundreds of small projectiles and flew towards the opponent.

The metal bullet rain symbolizing death flew over a distance of two or three hundred meters with a "woo-woo" sound of breaking through the air, and landed in the convoy and the crowd.

The sound of "crackling" came and went, like the sound of hail hitting the roof, and although it was smashed, the wooden planks of the cart still blocked many projectiles, and many of the coatings hiding behind survived, and only some of the crudely made, not very strong ones could not support themselves in the dense projectiles and were torn apart. However, the density of the shotgun was too great, and it flew diagonally, and many people were still hit by the projectile on the side and fell in a pool of blood.

"your lungs!" Zuo Wuwei shook his fist hatefully. At such a close distance, without a telescope, the results of this round of shotguns can be seen with the naked eye - compared to solid bullets, shotguns, which were originally natural enemies of infantry, are not ideal against trucks, and this original version of the bulletproof car played a significant role. Now it's up to us to see how effective the grenades fired by mountain guns are.

To a certain extent, the car defused part of the lethality of the shotgun, and survived such a fierce shelling, so that the coats suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath, and the Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was in charge of the command, was even more overjoyed, shouting loudly to let the team speed up.

"Boom, boom, boom", the cannon sound sounded again, thick smoke rose from the center of the phalanx, and dozens of shells passed over the heads of the soldiers in the front row and smashed down on the opponent's head and face.

After several years of use and improvement, the yield rate of the grenade has reached a high level, from only 6 or 70 percent of the initial chance of detonation, to about 90 percent now. The grenade that fell into the crowd jumped a few times and was detonated by the time-delay tube, and the shock wave generated by the explosion overturned the people within three or four meters of the surrounding area, and the shrapnel that split was like a bullet harvested lives.

However, for fear of accidentally injuring their comrades in the front row, the four artillery companies unanimously adjusted the firing angles, and the original shell landing point of about 300 meters was extended to more than 400 meters, and the farthest reached 500 meters. The archers, who thought that they could sit back and relax with the chariot in front of them, watched the grenades falling from the sky and exploding. The splatters of shrapnel sliced through their thin leather armor and plunged deep into their bodies, and the archers screamed and fell in pools of blood.

Although the east side is not bright and the west side is bright, and a small half of the grenades that were supposed to hit the trucks have exploded to the foot archers, and they have hit people anyway, but Zuo Wuwei still hugged his head in frustration - this round of artillery bombardment was not satisfactory and did not achieve the tactical goal - he overestimated the accuracy of the artillery in using grenades, and this round of grenades was much less effective than expected, and the vehicles that survived this round of shelling were already unimpeded, and several vehicles had reached the range of rifles, the distance was too close, and they were in the blind spot of artillery, Nothing can be hit with a cannon.

However, Zuo Wuwei did not want to blame the artillery company in the rear, relying only on manpower and the naked eye, no one could guarantee that the projectile landing point was accurate to within one or two hundred meters, in case of a mistake, the shell fell within 100 meters in front of the phalanx, shrapnel can hurt the soldiers in the front row, if they die under their own shells, this is a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers, and no one can afford this responsibility.

Zuo Wuwei sighed and ordered all the artillery crew to evacuate the gun positions and hide in a safe position in the center of the phalanx.

The subordinates asked puzzledly: "Battalion commander, if you can't hit these wooden carts, can you still beat the horsemen behind you, why are you retreating?" ”

Zuo Wuwei pointed to the step archers who were closely following behind the chariot and said, "Do you see these archers?" Before you can fire your cannons and hit the cavalry, their bows and arrows will send you to Hades. ”
