Chapter 202 Shelling(1/2)
"King of Yan!"
Guo Tu's resentful eyes passed through the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield and arrived at the army wearing silver armor.
Yes, this is the army of King Yan.
He will never forget these silver armors in his life.
"It's almost the same. As long as we enter Yan Pass, we will win." Guo Tu murmured like a whisper.
From midnight to now, although the walls of Nancheng collapsed.
But the soldiers of Yanguan kept fighting with them at the gap.
At present, the Yuan family's army has not yet broken through this line of defense and has entered Yan Pass in a large-scale manner.
So this is not enough.
Because only by killing the city walls on the north from the back and disturbing the attack of the Yan Pass defenders, the Beidi army could enter the pass smoothly.
Only then will their Yuan family truly win.
"Yuan Xiu, stop them!" Guo Tu pointed at the Yan King's army that was constantly approaching, "at all costs."
Yuan Xiu nodded solemnly.
Drawing out his sword, he rode his horse to the west.
Dozens of generals followed him and kept issuing orders.
The army on the west side of the Yuan family army immediately turned, and more than 40,000 people were facing the army of the King of Yan.
On an empty and wide land, two armies were walking towards each other like chess pieces on a chessboard.
"The artillery went to the two wings, established artillery positions, and crossed fire."
Zhao Xu stood on a slightly higher mound of soil.
The royal family army was still advancing forward, and he and Chang Wei and other core generals stationed to command the battle.
The messenger kept sending his orders to the military formation.
The artillery immediately led the war horses to the two wings of the military formation, removed the artillery, and aimed at the Yuan family army formation.
At the same time, spearmen with two battalions on both sides stopped beside the artillery positions and were responsible for protecting the artillery.
After the artillery position was constructed, Zhao Xu ordered the soldiers to stop advancing.
At this time, the Yuan family army formation was still five hundred meters away from them.
"Heavy cavalry preparation, light cavalry to both wings."
"A cannon hits grape bullets."
“…”
Zhao Xu issued orders in an orderly manner.
This grape bomb is a special shell he made Wang Chong during this period.
Unlike a single large shell, this grape shell is composed of many small iron balls, bound into a cylindrical shape with cloth.
At the bottom of the shell there is a round cake titro with the same caliber as the muzzle.
When fired, gunpowder will activate the Tito and the grape bullet will fly out when it is under force.
Because the gunpowder is very powerful, these iron beads will fly out of the wrapped cloth and hit the entire surface like a scattered flower of the heavenly girl.
Cross-fire will make the same cross-fire as machine guns, and the damage surface can be maximized.
All preparations were completed, and the battlefield became quiet again, and only the faint sound of fighting from Yanguan came.
Chang Wei kept glanced at Yanguan, and he was very anxious.
Now every minute and every second are important.
If it were him, he would immediately order the entire army to attack, fight fiercely with the Yuan family soldiers, and then fight to Yan Pass.
But now the command is in the hands of the King of Yan, he can only sigh.
Zhao Xu glanced at Chang Wei, and he knew what Chang Wei was thinking.
But if the reckless rush will only make the two armies quickly stir up together.
In this way, he could not exert the true power of the cannon.
The Yuan family is now on a path of no return.
Everyone in the Yuan family generals knew that the soldiers were led by the Yuan family, so their fighting will is not weak.
Being trapped in hand-to-hand combat will only delay his time to save Yanguan.
"Magnificent, majestic, majestic!"
The Yuan family soldiers formed a tight formation, moving forward like blocks made of ants, and at the same time issued a low slogan.
The soldiers of the royal family were also a large horizontal team composed of blocks at this time, facing the Yuan family army formation.
If we follow the style of the cold weapon era in the past.
After getting close, the two are convenient to charge and fight together.
At this time, the Yuan family army had this idea.
Their military formation was in order, and the steps taken by the soldiers were almost the same length to ensure that the formation would not be confused.
Four hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters...
Zhao Xu was estimating the distance between the two sides.
Just two hundred meters away, the Yuan family's cavalry suddenly surrounded the two wings, with each wing of five thousand cavalry.
"Your Highness!" Chang Wei couldn't hold it in.
Once the Yuan family cavalry surrounded and walked around behind them, they would be attacked from both sides.
Zhao Xu didn't say anything, and the royal family army remained as motionless as a mountain.
Chang Wei said "ah" and closed his eyes.
One hundred meters!
At this time, the Yuan family cavalry, who had been galloping at a constant speed, suddenly accelerated and tried to quickly encircle.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu shouted: "Fire!"
"Fire the cannon!" Chang Wei immediately stomped his feet and shouted.
The order is passed down.
With the loud "boom boom" sound, the earth seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.
On the artillery positions on both wings, the artillery spit out flames.
The grape bomb collapsed from the muzzle and flew towards the Yuan family cavalry like an iron bead fishing net.
When the cannon sounded, the mounts of the Yuan family's cavalry were all frightened.
Many horses raised their front hooves and instinctively wanted to escape.
The Yuan family cavalry were also frightened by the loud noise and let the horses throw them off.
The same question arose in their minds, “What the hell is this?”
However, many of them were immediately over.
During the breath of fire and smoke, black iron beads tear them and their mounts apart like a storm.
Before the Yuan family's cavalry could react, a bunch of blood mist exploded on them.
Some people lost their arms, some lost their legs, and some lost their heads.
Some people even split into pieces in an instant.
In an instant, the Yuan family cavalry in front fell down like Donomian dominoes.
"What's going on?" The Yuan family cavalry behind urgently tightened their horses.
The cavalry in front fell one after another, and their vision suddenly widened.
But looking at the broken limbs on the ground, they felt that their breathing was about to stop.
But before they could come back to their senses, fire and smoke lit up again not far away.
The stunned Yuan family cavalry were torn to pieces again.
At this time, the Yuan family cavalry finally realized that something was wrong.
No matter what is shining with light and loud noises.
There is no doubt that these things will destroy them as simple as killing chickens.
To be continued...
