Horse Stepping on the World 939, Horse Stepping on the World Chapter 939: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying

Several mules and horses dragged Shenwei cannons close to the Qingtan Village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Zheng, you can only go here, you can't move forward any further!" An artillery captain temporarily borrowed from the Qiyuan forced a military salute to Zheng Zhi and said.

"Where can you shoot from here?" Zheng Zhiqiang looked at the fortress opposite and asked.

The artillery captain visually measured the distance, "General Zheng, at most hit the opponent's most advanced position, and if you go up, there is no way." ”

"Can't you drag the cannon up a little more?" Zheng Zhiqiang was full of hope that if he could drag it up a little more and rely on the power of the artillery, it would greatly reduce the losses of the soldiers.

The artillery captain shook his head in embarrassment, "The mountain here is too steep, the angle is too big, even if you can drag the cannon up and place it, you can't hit the other party at all, the angle is not enough!" ”

Sighing, Zheng Zhiqiang knew that he was a strong man, he was a general of the Marine Corps, and he was naturally clear about the angle of fire of the Shenwei cannon.

"That's it, something is better than nothing, even if you can only hit the opponent's front line, it's good, at least it can save me a few hundred deaths."

The artillery captain nodded, turned around and ordered his artillery to quickly start installing the cannon and adjusting the firing range.

Zheng Zhiqiang stood behind the Shenwei cannon with his sword, and behind him was the 1st Battalion of the Marine Corps of the Marine Division, which was preparing to launch the first wave of attacks.

The three Shenwei cannons were lined up, and the artillerymen skillfully cleared, drugged, and loaded.

"General Zheng!" The artillery captain looked at Zheng Zhiqiang.

"Let's get started!" Zheng Zhiqiang said.

Zu Yan stood at the highest point of the Qingtan Fortress, looking down from him, the tens of thousands of Dingzhou Navy Marines in the distance were only about a small piece, far less oppressive than from a close view, the other party was very careful to divide into several positions, even if he was preparing to attack, Zheng Zhiqiang still did not forget to put a battalion of troops in the rear to guard. Qiu Zhi is so old with soldiers that he can't tell if he has prepared a cavalry to come and attack and disturb his rear when the time comes. Instead of rushing around at that time, it's better to prepare at home in advance.

And Qingtan this kind of fortress can not be too many troops at a time, even if it is the strength of a battalion, it must be divided into several groups of attacks, and this kind of fortress is also the most difficult to fight, no matter how many soldiers you have, you can only add fuel a little bit up, the front is consumed, and the back can be replenished.

It's all going to be filled with human life! Zheng Zhiqiang thought with emotion.

"Is that their Divine Cannon?" Zu Yan looked at the three swarthy iron pipes under the fortress. From his point of view, the three iron pipes were only the thickness of a wrist.

"Quite possibly!" The lieutenant officer on one side said, "The last general is also the first time I have seen it, I heard that on the Black Water Ocean, the Pang army's giant ship was sunk by the other party with this." ”

"Is it a naval battle?" Zu Yan pondered for a moment, "It's probably similar to a heavy stone-throwing crossbow, can it hit so far?" Looking down from him, the other party's Shenwei cannons were also several miles away from his own front-line position.

"I don't know, but we'll see it right away!" The lieutenant officer said.

"Give the order to the forward positions, do a good job of cover. Avoid unnecessary casualties! Zu Yan said.

"Fire!" The artillery captain's hand fell down heavily, and the artilleryman in the middle immediately stretched out the torch in his hand to the exposed lead at the tail of the Kamui cannon, and a snorting sound sounded.

There was a loud bang, and a puff of smoke came out of the muzzle, covering several gunners, and Zheng Zhiqiang stood relatively backward. As soon as the smoke came together, he saw a black projectile in the air, which grew smaller from his field of vision at an alarming rate.

The first shell was a test of range and angle, and the artillery captain ran a few steps to the side, avoiding the smoke and watching intently where the shell landed.

On the top of the mountain, due to the distance, the loud sound like thunder on the top of the fortress sounded inaudible, Zu Yan only saw a thick smoke rising, and there was a black ball in the air.

There was a boom. This time, Zu Yan clearly heard the loud noise, the cannonball smashed on a boulder above the forward position, and in the loud explosion, the part of the boulder that poked out from far away exploded instantly, and the stone rain flew. Countless pieces of rubble flew in the air, and several soldiers on the position fell on the spot, and the shells did not directly hit them. They were hit by flying rubble, and their armor was defenseless. Give these gravel easy breaks.

Zu Yan was stunned, and so was the middle officer. At such a distance, with such great power, there is a comparison between the average heavy slath crossbow.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Zu Yan suddenly reacted and jumped up, "Let them retreat to the second line and wait until the opponent's infantry attacks before returning." ”

"Yes, yes!" The lieutenant officers were also in a hurry.

"The distance is right, the angle of fire is raised by five degrees!" The artillery captain said loudly, and with his order, dozens of artillerymen were busy, and in a moment, the muzzle of the Shenwei cannon was raised by several points.

"Three cannon salvos!" Once again, the artillery lieutenant gave the order.

There were three loud bangs, and three Shenwei cannons were fired at the same time.

This time the artillery bombardment was much more accurate, the two shells shot a little higher, hitting the steep arm above the forward position, the huge power of the mountain rock shattered, the rain of stones fell like drops of stone rain will have just received the order to retreat to the second line of soldiers completely enveloped, in an instant, the screams one after another, below the stone rain, a large area of the enemy was directly swept down, a large section of the gap appeared on the narrow position, the other was accidentally hit the top of a fortress above the position, in the loud noise, the shells directly penetrated the top cover, The fort was made of stones on all sides, but the top was made of huge logs, covered with a layer of rubble, and the cannonballs fell, penetrating the top without hindrance and falling into the fortress.

The iron bullet burned red by the gunpowder fell, and the head of a soldier was lost under the gaze of the others. The iron bullet fell to the ground, rebounded again, hit the stone wall, accelerated to the ground, and with a pop, it went directly through the chest of another soldier, and bounced back on the stone wall on the other side, and the thud smashed the chest of the other soldier directly into a depression. A scorched muscle slammed inside the fortress.

The iron bullet is bouncing in the fortress, even if it is gently rubbed, it will be seriously injured and fall to the ground, the space in the partial fortress is limited, there is no way to avoid, there is no way to hide, there is no way to hide, the wailing and screaming are endless, some people want to rush out of the door, but unfortunately everyone has this idea, the small door hole is blocked, let this iron bullet rage in the fortress, until finally stopped on the ground and no longer beats, the survivors looked at the black thing hiding in the center of the fortress in a panic, and their eyes were full of fear.

The three Shenwei cannons will fire a round every quarter of an hour, and the forward position has been beaten miserably, the position that was originally thought to be impregnable was directly turned into slag under the bombardment of the artillery, and seeing that one fortress after another was directly flattened, Zu Yan's face was pale, and the blue tendons on his forehead kept beating, is this the Shenwei cannon of the Dingzhou soldiers?

He suddenly palpitated, if Dingzhou built a large number of such divine cannons, then there are such cities in the world that can still be defended, and under the blow of this kind of divine weapon, no matter how thick and strong the city wall is, it will be collapsed.

swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "Directly abandon the first line position, and all the staff retreat into the second line." "The two sides have not yet made contact, and they have already paid hundreds of casualties, and Zu Yan convulsed in distress. Casualties are still a trivial matter, the huge power of this weapon is a more deadly blow to the morale of their own soldiers, the wails of the wounded soldiers who retreated from the front line are terrifying, and their wounds are even more terrifying, just the flying stone chips can break through the protection of the iron armor, so if they are directly hit, what will be the scene?

"Tell the brethren that fear not, they will not be able to drag the Shenwei cannon up the mountain!" Zu Yan calmed his face and said, "Cheer up, wait for the opponent to attack, and avenge the dead and injured brothers." ”

The artillery lieutenant turned his head, his face was blackened and white, "General Zheng, the enemy's forward position has been destroyed, and if you go up, I can't do anything." ”

"That's good!" Zheng Zhiqiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Hard work, good fighting, every time you kill an enemy, you can increase the hope of our brothers to live." ”

"General Zheng, they are all their own brothers, why do you have to say it, then the Shenwei cannon will not be used, and I will be useless, if General Zheng can afford me, I will charge with everyone and kill happily!" The lieutenant touched his fists and said, since he became an artilleryman, he has never gone into battle with a knife, and he has experienced the pleasure of stabbing a knife and gun into the enemy's chest.

"Don't!" Zheng Zhiqiang waved his hand again and again, "You are all the treasures of General Deng, and before coming out, I specially told me to protect your safety, and then we Dingzhou will be equipped with Shenwei cannons on a large scale, and you experienced gunners will serve as instructors in various departments, each of which is expensive, and the next attack battle is the Ghost Gate, which is too dangerous, you better stay down honestly." ”

Listening to Zheng Zhiqiang's words, the artillery captain hung his head in frustration.

"Brethren!" Zheng Zhiqiang turned to the soldiers of the first battalion under his command, "The artillery brothers have cleared the first line of positions for us, and then it's up to us, the artillery brothers will watch our attack here, do you have confidence?" ”

"The Dingzhou Army wins!" Three thousand Marines burst out into a shout.

"Lay down the green beach and control the Lai River, our sailors can go straight up the river and go straight to the chest of the Apocalypse, this great work is in front of us, but we need to exchange our lives, do you dare!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Zheng Zhiqiang turned sharply and drew his sword out of its sheath, the blade shining dazzlingly in the sunlight.

"Dingzhou Navy Marine Corps, attack!"

"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" One by one, the team members jumped past Zheng Zhiqiang and rushed to the steep mountain road.
