Chapter 35 The Artillery of the Battle

Artillery is the god of war, but when it was originally invented, it was just to defend the city. In this time and space, Cheng Pan, a person with OCD, invented the tactic of artillery cluster bombing in the field for the first time. Since Cheng Pan's configuration of artillery was in a state of half a bottle of water, it was good to be more, and large is beautiful to be beautiful. He brought 90% of the artillery in the territory at one time. A total of 100 people were serving this huge artillery cluster. This unscientific configuration is definitely a problem. If it were a European general in the Napoleon period, he could use targeted tactics to restrain it. However, Cheng Pan, the half-baked commander, was still in the era of cold weapons war, and he lacked understanding of the weapon of artillery. The distance between the arrangement of troops was based on the maximum power of the cavalry charge, and he did not know that he was under Cheng Pan's muzzle.

Zhu Zichou, the parabolic genius, is now using a telescope to estimate the distance on the opposite side, and constantly report data such as azimuth angle and elevation. Because the distance on the opposite side is too close, he treats himself as a target. Zhu Zichou's artillery cluster is in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Perhaps after seeing the power of artillery, the commander will no longer have such a dense and thick force within the range of the artillery cluster.

Dudagula was the vanguard of this assault group. Morigen gave him all the cavalry forces in his hand, allowing him to break the eastern wing of the bandit army and oppress the central army. After the cavalry, he would follow 1,000 armored infantry to cover up and kill. During the previous cavalry battle, Dudagula learned that the bandit army's firearms were sharp. Moreover, after investigation, the infantry opposite was also firearms. Dudagula was not a local military household. He had seen the Great Emperor's guard firearms army in Dadu. The scale was far less than the number of bandit army in front of him. On the one hand, the combat power was weak and there was no practical bow and arrow. On the other hand, the firearms were expensive.

However, after the bombing of the cavalry on the opposite side, Dudagula did not dare to underestimate the musketeers on the opposite side, and was amazed at the wealth of the Huangzhou thieves. Dudagula looked at the opponent's formation in such a thin formation and comforted himself: "The opposite side is obviously, I don't know how to fight. I thought there were powerful firearms storms in the village, so I did whatever I wanted. I didn't know that it was courage on the battlefield." His idea was right. Cheng Pan had never fought before, and he had always bullied people by relying on his weapon advantages. He also relied on his courage to fight. The only mistake was that he underestimated the level of evil that Cheng Pan had created.

In order to save the strength of the horse, Dudagula led the cavalry formation to form a charge on the east side. Looking at the tense bandits on the opposite side, Dudagula bulged up before the battle. He raised his scimitar high and shouted: "In this battle, there will be advances and no retreat. We will break the enemy's back. The three counties will have a great rope for three days." After Dudagula finished speaking, more than a thousand cavalrymen made a sound of wolf crying on the horse. After Dudagula's scimitar was swung down, the charge of death began.

At the same time as Dudagula swung the scimitar, the Central Artillery Group's flag was also swung. After receiving the order of waiting, the musketeers on the east wing quickly changed their formation, revealing ten black holes of muzzles. Dudagula saw the exposed cannon and thought it was not good. Before he could react, the excited artillery inserted the already prepared fragrant head. The ten black holes flashed and emitted a strong light. Then a large number of heavy shotguns rushed from the muzzle at supersonic speed from the muzzle like a volcanic eruption. The cavalry, who was just in the initial acceleration stage, was hit head-on. A large number of cavalry fell on the start of the charge, blocking the subsequent cavalry's charge route, and the entire formation in front was in a turbulent regiment.

Dudagula was very lucky. He only hit a bullet in his arm and did not hit the bone, but the severe pain caused him to throw the knife.

The strike caused more than 100 casualties, which was very low compared to the total number of cavalry. It interrupted the acceleration step of the cavalry group and increased the morale of the East Wing Musketeers. The recruits who were originally very nervous in the face of the huge cavalry group. After the sound of artillery, their courage suddenly became stronger.

After the heavy shotgun fired on the east wing, several of the central army's agile artillery fired at the same time, and ten solid bullets hit the chaotic cavalry group. On the land of Jianghuai, which was frozen hard by the cold wind in early winter, the jumping effect was very good. These solid bullets brought out a path of flesh and blood flying in the crowd of horses.

After observing the effect of the corrective artillery shelling, Zhu Zichou reported the fine-tuning data of each group. After a few dozen seconds, more fierce solid bombs flew over. It was precisely because the distance on the opposite side was too suitable for artillery shelling. In order to ensure the density of artillery fire, Zhu Zichou increased the charge in each cannon, and each cannon loaded two solid bullets. One hundred and fifty large iron balls roared and rotated, drifting into the human and horse meat cluster in a perfect arc, stirring them more evenly.

Because the artillery was fired in a row and in batches. The soldiers in the cavalry could see rows of bouncing iron balls, gradually advancing rapidly. If you look at it from a high altitude, the screams and flesh and blood in the entire cavalry group were also in a belt, quickly spreading like waves, and it affected the entire cavalry group in a few seconds. Zhu Zichou used a solid bullet to shoot out the original barrage Xu Jin. A cavalry watched the row of bouncing iron balls approaching him quickly, and in great fear he fell off his horse, but the iron ball wall that had been shot by the artillery had been combed like a comb. Before he could be glad that he had survived the disaster, he found that his leg had broken. When he wanted to get up, there were horses running around him, and in the end he was trampled to death.

This round of artillery alone caused a devastating blow to the entire vanguard cavalry. The dense solid bullets covered the entire vanguard cavalry group, causing at least 800 casualties. The entire cavalry assault echelon suffered half of the damage in a few minutes. Under such unprecedented terrifying blow, the vanguard, whom Dudagula had high hopes, collapsed.

Not only can people not stand it, but also can't stand it. The loud noise of the shelling made the surviving war horses in the cavalry group frightened and ran around the 800 people. The horse team of the Communist Party was not much better. For his own horse team training, Cheng Pan usually led the horse to the shooting range to listen. He used firecrackers to explode next to the horse's ears. Cheng Pan did not do this training, and he felt sorry for gunpowder. This unprecedented artillery firecrackers were too loud. Compared with the previous target training, it was completely a witch. Wang Tianzhu's subordinates kept comforting his partner under his crotch.

After this round of artillery attack, Zhu Zichou and his men were still a little unsatisfied. Usually, they were shooting with one shot and two shots. Usually, many people were surrounded by one shot. This time they were satisfied. Zhu Zichou did not forget the main business, and he asked Cheng Pan, who was beside him for the next instructions.

Cheng Pan took a deep breath of the air filled with gunpowder and said to the messenger cavalry beside him: "Order the east wing to advance along the way to eliminate all resistance, defeat the opposite east wing, and squeeze the enemy's main camp." Watching the messenger's departure, Cheng Pan said to Zhu Zichou: "All artillery prepare to strike two rounds of double-loading missiles on the enemy's west wing."

After Zhu Zichou got the order, he immediately worked hard to adjust the shooting angle of the artillery group. The entire artillery group started to move excitedly again.

At the end of Cheng Pan's order, Lu Hai further said: "Sir, why not shell the enemy's coach's assembly point? Killing the opponent's coach is not more conducive to the war." Cheng Pan said: "The purpose of this battle is to completely fear the opponent's Yuan army. Whether to kill the enemy's coach now has no impact on the final victory. So there is no need to take advantage of us. The more we show absolutely strong strength, the better the war achieved. Besides, killing the opponent's coach to death, who will I ask to discuss the issue of the post-war ending." Cheng Pan looked at the artillerymen carrying the gunpowder bag, and then said: "A cannon fires a thousand taels of gold."

Zhu Zichou and his team continued to carry out this rare experience of abuse. Ten minutes later, while fighting on the east wing, Zhu Zichou adjusted the artillery. Hail-like iron balls descended on the western wing of the Mongolian army. One by one, the iron balls attacked the obstacles in front of them and carried out a devastating blow. When they encountered people, they crashed through the wood without hesitation, causing the wooden fragments to kill the second time. The infantry on the west wing did not line up in dense formations, so they did not cause the first killing of the cavalry. However, the entire camp was in a mess. The west wing was seen before, and when they saw the cavalry's miserable west wing, they saw that they suffered the same blow, their originally low morale completely turned into fear. The west wing was in chaos.

After the two rounds of artillery attacks on the West Wing, the artillery body needed to cool down due to three 100 times of charge. Cheng Pan ordered 2,000 people in the West Wing to assault. Cheng Pan and 1,000 musketeers were in charge of the central army's guardian artillery group.
