Chapter 372: Invulnerable?

Hundreds of flying rockets flew out with great momentum!

In order to achieve the maximum range, Guo Shoujing modified the three-bow bed crossbow, raised the head of the crossbow machine, and changed the direct shot to a projectile. First, the elastic force of the bowstring is used to eject the flying rocket into the sky, and after flying to a certain height, the lead of the "booster" burns out, and the gunpowder in the booster is ignited, spewing out fire and smoke, pushing the flying rocket to accelerate its rise.

The scene of hundreds of such fire-breathing giant arrows flying out at the same time, dragging the smoke up and roaring, is naturally extremely shocking!

At least in the eyes of those who saw this scene for the first time, the salvo of 100 rockets was almost a miracle.

"Hooray!"

The Mongols and Mongol Han troops on the battlefield (including Goryeo and Semu) cheered loudly when they saw these monsters dragging smoke flying towards the place where Chen Dexing was!

"Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols! Let these flying rockets blow up the thief Chen to death and avenge the Mongols' Tianjiao MΓΆngke Khan......"

The shell of the telescope in Tachar Khan's hand was about to be flattened by him, but he was completely ignorant, just staring at those flying rockets, chanting words in his mouth, muttering content, naturally asking Changsheng Heaven to exert his might, let those terrifying-looking flying rockets blow Chen Dexing to pieces!

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, all the Han people and the Eight Banners soldiers raised their hearts to their throats. They all gritted their teeth and watched hundreds of rockets dragging smoke fly towards the place where Chen Dexing was!

Their king, their gods, seem to be in danger!

"Congreve rockets?" Chen Dexing was still sitting on his horse and muttered softly. Then he waved his hand violently and commanded loudly: "Don't move!" ”

Zhu Sijiu has already planned to come out immediately. It seemed that he wanted to cover Chen Dexing with his body, and he was slightly stunned when he heard this. Haven't reacted yet. There was already a muffled sound of explosions in the air!

Thundered! Thundered! Thundered......

I saw one rocket after another exploding in the sky around Xiaojiazhai, turning into huge fireballs, and some burning wreckage dragging white and gray smoke down. For a while, the Xiao Jiazhai below, thousands of ironclad knights, and the sun and moon were all shrouded in thick smoke and fire!

Looking at it, Chen Dexing, the dog thief, should have been killed, right?

"Hooray! Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols! The Mongol generals on the battlefield cheered in unison.

The Northern Expeditionary Army on the opposite side was silent, their eyes widened, and they looked in the direction of Xiaojiazhai in disbelief......

What happened next surprised everyone. A northwesterly wind blew away the modest amount of smoke and burning debris. The sun and moon held high on one side first came into everyone's eyes, and then thousands of ironclad knights stood still. It seems that there is some force in the shadows to protect them from the terrifying-looking weapon of the flying rocket!

"How is this possible!" Tachar was so shocked that she could barely pinch the telescope, so many fireballs, so big smoke, there was nothing wrong with the people below! This, this, this...... How is this possible!

Guo Shoujing was also taken aback. Although the flying rocket was invented by him, he has not actually done it a few times, let alone tested the power of the explosion. It's just that the momentum is quite big, and I think it's not small. Watching the hundreds of flying rockets explode together just now, the scene was even more hot, but how could the people below be unharmed?

But now is not the time to study the true power of the Flying Rocket. Guo Shoujing just yelled repeatedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, open the crossbow, hurry up and get on the flying rocket!" ”

If you miss the first hit, then you will do a second blow. Let's strike a third time......

"Hooray! Long live King Ming! God bless the King! ”

Mo Yingniang shouted feverishly at this time, and she followed Chen Dexing's side, when the flying rocket flew over. She is not worried at all - the goddess stick really believes that Chen Dexing is a fairy!

And now it seems that this judgment is completely correct!

"Hooray! Long live King Ming! God bless the King! ”

Chen Dexing's ironclad guards also shouted together. A few of them had been hit by falling nails or something. But no one is up to the standard of injury.

In fact, the landing points of the hundreds of flying rockets were scattered, and there was no accuracy. Almost scattered in a large area around Xiaojiazhai, most of them were volleys. The people below are not within the range of damage at all.

This thing seems to be quite powerful from a distance, but its actual power is not worth mentioning.

"King, don't you take a break for a while!" Zhu Sijiu used his binoculars to see the Mongolian generals in front of him hurriedly fiddling with the three-bow bed crossbow, and hurriedly reminded.

"No need, wait for Yang Po'er to come over and leave." Chen Dexing said confidently. Now is the time to pretend to be forced, how can you go?

As he spoke, hundreds of flying rockets flew over with a roar, the momentum was still not small, the target was still not there, and before the rockets fell, most of them exploded, releasing smoke and fire, and scattering a lot of iron nails. It's just that the shell of the bamboo tube is not enough to fully burn the H medicine inside, and naturally it can't create much of a shock wave to drive these iron nails, these iron nails just fall weakly, and they can't destroy the iron armor and iron helmets of Chen Dexing's personal guards at all.

The smoke cleared, and the people below were still standing, as if they were blessed by the gods!

"This is the legendary invulnerability !!" The warriors of the Great Mongolia have a hair in their hearts. It turns out that Chen Dexing, the king of Ming, can't be killed, what can I do?

"Hooray! Long live King Ming! God bless the King! ”

The cheers on the battlefield thundered! The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, including the Eight Banners who have just joined, who else would not believe that Chen Dexing is a great immortal? There is a great fairy with them, and he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the Mongols?

At this time, Yang Po'er was already panting and running over, and the ink shadow Niang Niang next to Chen Dexing stepped forward immediately, stretched out her hand and dragged Yang Po'er onto the horse, and the two rode together. Chen Dexing's goal was achieved, and he no longer stayed, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, rode away, and returned to his Chinese army with his personal guards.

……

"Father Khan, are you still fighting?" Prince Hotu flew to Tachar's Chinese army and asked loudly on horseback. In his opinion, the failure of Fang Cai's flying rocket attack has made everyone on the battlefield believe that Chen Dexing is a god! Persisting in fighting under such circumstances really has little chance of winning.

Ashulu, who had just returned to Tachar'er's side, also said: "Brother Tachar'er, that Chen Dexing is likely to be a real immortal, and we can't deal with it, so let's take advantage of the fact that the army is still there, and the whole division will return to the grassland first." ”

"All the divisions are retreating?" Tachar snorted, "It's easy to say, now that the two armies are facing each other, and they have the help of the Jurchen cavalry, how can we get out of the way?" ”

Ta Cha'er looked up at Chen Dexing's military formation, shook his head and said, "Let's fight!" Whether it's a man or a god, this battle must be fought by warriors! He waved his hand violently, "Let Hong Fuyuan's Han army go up first and go to defeat Xiaojiazhai!" ”

……

Xiaojiazhai is undoubtedly the main point of contention between the two sides in this battle, and whoever has Xiaojiazhai will be able to obtain a solid support point. Even if the battle is unfavorable, Xiaojiazhai can be used to temporarily contain the enemy army and win time to retreat.

Therefore, after seeing the Mongol Han army approaching Xiaojiazhai, Chen Dexing also immediately ordered his own infantry to reinforce him.

On the wide plain outside Xiaojiazhai, for a while, the soldiers covered the field, and two groups of people marching on foot walked opposite each other under the guidance of their respective military flags.

On the left and right of these two groups of infantry, the Eight Banners Horse Team and the Mongol cavalry also launched a fierce battle, and they all used all their strength to drive the opponent out of the battlefield, but neither of them refused to retreat.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery of the Northern Expeditionary Army opened fire first. Chen Dexing sent an infantry battalion with half a company of artillery (3 cannons) to station last night. It took them half a night to dig and enlarge the gate of Xiaojiazhai and transform it into an improvised artillery position, and now they are opening fire to bombard the approaching Mongol and Han troops. Three iron balls weighing eight catties were pushed out of the cannon chamber by the thrust of gunpowder deflagration, and crashed straight into the formation of this mixed army of Koreans and Hans.

Immediately, there were three corridors of flesh and blood, all the way through the human body, and I don't know how many people were killed.

A miserable cry suddenly sounded, and then the officer shouted loudly. The Mongol Warlords are just staring at the back, and now they can only advance, not retreat! Oh, only you can't go back. Because it's artillery time!

Thirty brass guns made by Guo Shoujing were also pushed to the front line. Since the bronze cannons of the Northern Expeditionary Army had not been captured, this kind of brass firecracker weighing about 300 catties was actually improved by Guo Shoujing according to the original various firecrackers of the Mongolian army. If it is operated properly, it can beat about a pound of iron sand to a hundred and fifty steps away, and it can kill and injure unarmored targets. The power is not much greater than that of a bow and arrow, but it is just a scary sound.

And Guo Shoujing didn't go to the front line to command, he was just Guo Kan's staff, and he was a temporary Shenyang Road Tonghu here in Tachar, which was just a casual appointment by Tachar, and it was not a long errand, so he couldn't go to the front line to work hard for this benefit. So he was an audience in the rear with Liu Xiaoyuan.

And without his command, most of the people who operated the guns were from the Pu family, half merchants and half pirates, and most of them had a slippery temperament, and of course they refused to risk the artillery of the Northern Expeditionary Army to get too close. They were bombarded with artillery four hundred paces away, and they didn't dare to load enough H medicine -- of course, the casting quality of these bronze guns was not up to par, and they exploded a lot when they were real, and of course smart people knew how to deal with things with less medicine. Don't look at the rumbling and roaring of these thirty firearms, and the smoke on the battlefield, in fact, they are all fooling things, and the iron sand beaten out can't reach the Northern Expeditionary Army at all. However, the three bronze cannons of the Northern Expeditionary Army played a "bloody road" in the Hongjiahan army from time to time! (To be continued......)
