Chapter 284 Wind and Remnant Clouds (Continued)
The fire camp is a special army directly led by Yu Wenming. This army is similar to the "special ordnance team" under the command of the King of Xiyang. The weapons used are all specially made gunpowder weapons and participate in the war at critical moments.
The weapon used in the fire camp is called "fire gun". The reason why this weapon appears is actually because craftsmen get inspiration from an accident:
When the craftsmen of the Anlu Army weapon supervisor used a bamboo tube to measure gunpowder, they accidentally let Mars fall into the bamboo tube. They then found that the gunpowder had a "fire burst" effect after being ignited in this state, so they improved it to create a new weapon "fire burst tube".
Installing this "fire-burst tube" on the front end of the wooden gun is the "fire-burst gun".
In the initial storm, in addition to gunpowder, sand and gravel were also mixed in the bamboo tube, but as the storm continued to be improved in actual combat, the improved version of the storm used lead balls.
Sand and gravel are placed in the bamboo tube, and after being sprayed out, they only make the enemy soldiers in front of them into "pork seeds". If they cannot hurt their eyes, the opponent will still have combat effectiveness. If a few small lead balls are placed in the bamboo tube, they can break the armor at close range.
The improved version of the musket can have a range of more than 40 steps. At this distance, it can cause effective damage to the enemy in Ar. The concentrated use of the musket to shoot the enemy can give considerable damage to the enemy in front of you.
This is a weapon that the fire camp is proud of. Although it is not as amazing as the "squirt-in cannon" used by the "Special Weapon Team" of Xiyang King, it is also effective in killing enemy soldiers at close range.
However, what I didn't expect was that today, the enemy cavalry of the left army of our side actually used similar weapons.
It seems that there are many people who work hard on gunpowder weapons.
The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the soldiers of the fire camp moved to the left (west side) of the formation and soon finished lineup. Each person held the fire gun in his right hand and a lit incense in his left hand, and arranged in five rows, with one hundred people in each row.
In front, there were unstoppable enemy cavalry rushing straight towards the central army's main formation, with a large number of enemy cavalry and amazing momentum.
The soldiers of the fire camp quietly watched the enemy cavalry rushing towards him. The soldiers on the head were kneeling on one knee, the soldiers on the second row bent over, the soldiers from the third to fifth rows stood, and each row of soldiers gave the guns flat.
Holding the gun rod in his right hand, and clamping the back end of the gun rod under his armpit, so that the big bamboo tube faces the invading enemy in front.
Although everyone was holding incense in his left hand, and although the enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, no one ignited the fire without authorization, but was waiting for the order.
Just like an archer cannot easily shoot arrows without receiving the order, soldiers of the fire camp are never allowed to ignite the fire without receiving the order, even if the enemy has already rushed to the front.
Now, the enemy cavalry that attacked the original formation is less than fifty steps away from the soldiers of the Fire Camp, and the distance is rapidly shortening.
"ignition!"
With a command, the soldiers of the fire camp lit the fire twist with incense, then held guns in both hands, and pointed at the enemy cavalry that had already reached twenty steps away.
A crackling sound rang out, and a large number of raids erupted with flames and smoke. The enemy cavalry, who was so close to him like a wind sweeping away the clouds, were knocked over and over. After the first three rows of soldiers were released, they held their guns and squatted down. Then the fourth and fifth rows of soldiers aimed at the front for the second round of launches.
When the fire suddenly appeared, more than ten cavalry rushed out of the smoke. Both the people and the horse were bleeding and rushed straight. When they were hit by the lead ball, blood splashed everywhere, but they crashed into the team with huge inertia.
The fired musket can be used as a short spear, but the enemy cavalry that hit the musket and the horses were hundreds of pounds. Even if the musket was stabbed into the body, the huge impact still caused several people to fly.
As the people and horses whined, the queue of the fire camp was washed away, and the enemy cavalry rushed towards them were also lost. A few dozen steps later, hundreds of cavalry roared over.
The cavalry under Yuchi Qin's command had suffered heavy casualties at this time. The strongest impact was just interrupted by the enemy soldiers, and the opponent also had a fire weapon in his hand. Yuchi Qin would not be too surprised by this.
Although the chance is slim, he still led the last elite to launch a decisive charge towards Yuwen Jun's own team.
He could see clearly that the "Yuwen" banner was right in front of him. At the critical moment, even if the casualties were severe or even the entire army was wiped out, he had to fight hard no matter what.
The family is in danger, and there is no end to the end of the nest after it is destroyed. Yuchi Qin did not intend to surrender because he did not want to kneel down and beg for mercy.
At first he did not agree with what his cousin Yuchi Dun did, but now, the Yuchi family and Yuwen family have been dead.
It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. As long as you try your best, you won’t regret it!
The tide-like shouts sounded, and a large number of spear soldiers appeared in front of him. Yuchi Qin held the horse spear in his hand tightly, shouting loudly with the soldiers who followed him to the formation, and crashed into the enemy formation head-on.
......
"After loading, you can send it..."
The loader shouted at the top of his lungs, then fell to the ground by the arrow, leaving only the last box of fired medicine sprayed into the No. 5 launch position. The enemy rushed in front of him was less than twenty steps away from the carriage. The operator behind the shield Zhao Qianzhong shook his handle and pointed the sprayed cannon at the enemy who was close to him.
The front of the central army was destroyed by the crazy enemy, so that the incoming artillery firing position, which was originally in the rear, turned into the front line. The special ordnance team members who operated incoming artillery, did not retreat in the face of danger, but chose to fight.
The air-to-air injected cannons fired at close range from each launching position directly ignited the enemy group in front of him, and the opponent's shield wall composed of swords and cards held shields collapsed in the flames.
Such a powerful weapon was installed in a carriage, which looked very conspicuous, so it became the target of public criticism. The team at the No. 5 launch position has suffered heavy casualties now, with all sixteen people, and fifteen people killed.
Only operator Zhao Qianzhong was left, and the collapsed soldiers of his own side no longer cared about protecting him.
Zhao Qianzhong, who was born in poverty, failed to bring "thousands of millet" to his family as his parents wished, but he became a glorious member of the "special ordnance team". Now he is in danger, not afraid of death, only anger.
The comrades who were brothers and sisters had all died in battle. Zhao Qianzhong wanted to take revenge. Now his only idea was to fire out the ammunition that the comrades had loaded at the cost of his life.
Through the aiming port on the shield, Zhao Qianzhong saw the cavalry rushing from the enemy group ahead, less than forty steps away from him. He took the lead and bent his bow and arrow and aimed at him.
With his right hand, he was shaking the handle hard, and he was almost able to aim. Zhao Qianzhong looked at the enemy general and felt that time was passing very slowly.
If the opponent's shooting skills are excellent, the arrows shot can pass through the aiming window and hit him in the face.
And it's only a little bit short of time before the cannon is launched.
I'm not afraid of death!
Zhao Qianzhong shouted in his heart, and the person who bent his bow to aim at him was Duke Lu of Lu, Yuchi Jing, who was also shouting in his heart at this time.
The family is in danger. As the leader of the rear camp of the central army, Yuchi Jing has put life and death aside. If his death can be exchanged for family safety, he will not care even if he is buried in the fire.
His loyal troops had suffered all casualties in order to break the formation. Yuchi Jing did not care about his sorrow and led the last cavalry under his command to charge. He wanted to break into the enemy's main formation before the enemy's left and right armies came back to their senses.
Even if there are heavy casualties due to this, it doesn't matter. As long as you can open the way for your subsequent cousin Yuchi Youqi, Yuchi Jing is not afraid of dying for the sake of his family.
The weapon of Yuwen Jun is powerful, so Yuchi Jing will never let him fire. The enemy soldiers behind the shield on the carriage should be the operator of the weapon, so just shoot him to death with one arrow!
In the midst of lightning, Yuchi Jing let go of the bowstring, and the feathered arrows were like meteors, passing through the small hole in the shield and directly hitting the soldiers behind him.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuchi Jing saw a large amount of fire and smoke suddenly burst out from the wooden box on the carriage ahead, and then a series of fire lights flew towards him.
The fire bloomed and the flames burned. Yuchi Jing and the cavalry who bravely charged for the fire were wrapped in the fire. In the fire, he seemed to see his long-dead father, Yuchi Yun, and his familiar but beginning to blur.
Are you all okay? I'm here!
At that moment, Yuchi Jing felt relieved, threw down his bow, spread his arms, and greeted his relatives.
The cavalry of Yuchi Jing's troops disappeared into the sea of fire. Yuchi Youqi, who was almost immediately following, had no time to be sad and led the cavalry around the fire and continued to advance.
The enemy's main formation is right in front of him, and this is his opportunity.
His cousin Yuchi Qin broke into the enemy's main formation from the west, and now the flag of the opponent's central army is still there. It seems that Yuchi Qin's progress has been frustrated. Yuchi Youqi feels that the opponent has restrained the enemy's troops, so it should be enough to add another force to himself.
In front was a temporary spear formation formed by the enemy's army, and the infantry that charged on his side rushed forward without hesitation. Yuchi Youqi rushed to whip the horse and wanted to lead the army to forcibly rush the formation.
At this moment, the enemy's main formation sounded a whistling sound. Yuchi Youqi watched the flames fly from the ground into the sky, and then burst into brilliant sparks in the air.
The fire illuminated Yuchi Youqi's face and He Ruobi's face.
He Ruobi, who was outside the battlefield, was ordered to lead his troops to station for several miles behind the formation. At this time, he finally waited for an order.
He turned over and blew the horn himself, leading the cavalry to advance north.
