Chapter 492: Majestic

Fu Yan stood beside Zachdan, smiling and saying, "Since we have cavalry and have won several battles, the situation between the enemy and us on this battlefield is really different!"

Do you all remember those battles a few years ago? In the short period of time from the third year to the fourth year of the fire, we were embarrassed by the thousands of cavalry of Sukh Saha.

In one of the battles, we could not afford the loss of the hinterland ravaged by the cavalry in the hands of Sukh Saha, so we actually asked the king to go to the front line to make bait to attract Sukh Saha and force him not to carry out the strategy of dividing his forces to attack and harass.

That time, the king took 2,000 men and horses to intercept Sukh Saha's 40,000 troops. Thinking about the occupation at that time, it was really a nest.

Now, with cavalry that is strong enough to a certain extent, the situation is completely different, at least in this place under Fuzhou City, the cavalry of the Tartars counts that, and they really can't play any tricks. ”

These words aroused a sigh of embarrassment from the officers and non-commissioned officers who were a little older at the scene. Everyone echoed and whispered about their feelings.

And Fu Yan himself, after pausing for a while and calming down a bit, continued to speak.

"But now, the Golden Tartar cavalry troops in front of us want to attract our forces to the flank, are they planning to carry out another surprise attack from the direction of the city gate?

Commander-in-chief, I wondered, is it necessary to temporarily remove the 2nd Infantry Battalion from the reserve and fill them to the south gate, just in case? ”

Zachdan thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly, and said with a smile, "No need, if the Houjin Army really thinks so, then the heavy weapons platoon will be useful."

In the process of fighting with the Ming army, the Houjin Tartars have seen a lot of all kinds of artillery. However, I think they probably haven't seen artillery under the operation of professional artillery.

It would be nice to have the special platoon of the 1st Infantry Battalion on standby, while the 2nd Infantry Battalion continued to serve as the reserve of the whole brigade. ”

As expected, the spy platoon of the 1st Infantry Battalion had not had time to rush to the edge of the moat when they saw a corner of the head of Fuzhou City, and a banner of the Houjin Army was constantly shaking.

With the dancing of the flag, the destroyed South City Gate, which was unrecognizable, was accompanied by a hoarse shout of killing, and a large number of Houjin soldiers poured into the city gate cave like a tide.

The shooters of the infantry guns and rocket vehicles put their hands on the ignition device at the same time, the rocket car shooters used the torches lit in advance to ignite the fuse at the ignition place, and the infantry gun shooters pulled the fuse.

On the side of the city gate, there were originally two infantry guns attached to the first infantry battalion, and later, the artillery company of the brigade headquarters strengthened two infantry guns to the city gate, so now there are 4 infantry guns that can be used in this area.

The four infantry guns roared as soon as the shooter pulled the fuse, and the barrels filled with solid pointed bullets flew out of the 20 times diameter barrels.

Then, after the cannonball quickly crossed a section of air, the stump and severed arm of the Houjin soldiers who ran in the front row flew in all directions.

The crew, which controlled the four infantry guns, quickly opened the bolts, withdrew the empty cartridges, and reloaded the warheads and propellants after firing the round.

The infantrymen, who had been waiting behind the shield carts, also began to shoot in turn at the whistle of the officers.

At this moment, not far from the two sides of the position where the infantry artillery was located, a continuous burst of "······" suddenly erupted sounds.

On the frame of the rocket car, the occasional leakage of gunpowder began to spark and splash, and then the tail of the frame was instantly submerged in clouds of gray gunsmoke.

One after another orange-red tail flames swept across the sky like fireworks during the New Year, but the difference from the fireworks during the New Year is that fireworks exist for festivity, while rocket cars exist for killing.

The rocket car kept vibrating during the launch, and a rocket car with a full 360 rockets with hollowed out cores, with gray-black trails, rushed into the city gate hole, drowning everything inside in a cloud of gunsmoke.

Of course, although the rocket car has strong firepower, it is not a common guided weapon that Chen Xin saw in later generations, so some rockets deviated from the trajectory and crashed into the city wall.

This part of the rocket that hit the city wall naturally could not penetrate the 1.5-meter-thick wall, and could only fall to the ground weakly.

The screams of the soldiers of the Houjin Army, and the screams of countless rockets when they were launched, were mixed together, and spread far away through the caves in the city gate.

Flying everywhere, the rockets that kept scurrying around also brought countless sparks on the cave wall, making the entire city gate cave become full of fire, like a grand fireworks show.

The artillery crews of the four infantry guns and the infantry brothers armed with rifles also kept shooting at the smoke-filled hole in the city gate.

By the time the rocket car finished firing a round, they could barely see anyone from the small firing position where they were, and even the gunners of the artillery crew could only squint and move slowly when they loaded their ammunition.

After a minute of rapid fire from the infantry guns, there was only a miserable wail in the cave of the city gate. Moreover, on the edge of the gunsmoke, there were no Houjin soldiers rushing out.

The members of the artillery crew and the infantry brothers looked at each other for a moment, and after the infantry continued to fire a volley, everyone finally stopped firing under the orders of the officer.

The autumn wind passed through the cave of the city gate, slowly blowing the smoke away, and inside and outside the cave of the city gate, there were dense and stacked corpses.

The walls of the cave were also covered with black spots smoked from the tail flames of rockets, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Houjin Army who ran in front of them were also pierced by the rockets as if they were hedgehogs.

Even inside the city gates, the houses, roofs, wooden beams, signboards, and other buildings on both sides of the street were all messy and full of feathered arrows.

Some of the soldiers of the Houjin Army, who had been injured by repeated shooting, were still crawling on the ground with difficulty, and it seemed that they were preparing to crawl back into the city and seek a way to survive.
