Chapter 419: The Power of Artillery

(New book has been registered, Deer Hunting, please recommend, please comment.)

It has to be admitted that Rome is indeed a powerful country. Without the comparison of the Qin army, then the Roman army is indeed the most well-equipped and most combat-effective in the world.

Only, in this wrong space, they encountered the Qin army led by Hu Hai.

This army has begun to transform from cold weapons to hot weapons. If he wants, Hu Hai can equip them with guns and ammunition.

But the time is not yet ripe.

In Hu Hai's mind, he always believed that only when humanistic qualities reach a certain level can the emergence of weapons be more meaningful and safer.

War is never a means to solve problems. Weapons and troops are forced to use.

Hu Hai has never understood what the small Middle East countries in later generations fought each other under the instigation of some big countries? Isn’t it the most important thing to live and work in peace and contentment?

But Wei Huo didn't think so. He was a military general and was idle at home without fighting. Although he was a marquis and had no worries about food and clothing, he just felt that he was missing something.

The moment he rode a war horse, he felt a spear in his hand and he immediately found a feeling.

Although the general is inevitable to die in front of the battlefield, the young Wei Huo was in a fierce moment and did not have the mentality of those veterans who had experienced many battles.

You are not frivolous!

The Roman army opposite could not see the Qin artillery phalanx, because Wei Huo ordered the infantry to stand in front and covered the artillery.

In front, the Romans had already assembled, because the Qin army lined up to meet the enemy, and they were not ready to siege the stones or towers to attack the city. Instead, the cavalry and spearmen formed their own formations and came out one after another.

"General, should you fire the artillery now and give them some advice?" the artillery commander asked for instructions.

Wei Huo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, when they gather together and attack in a square formation, you can fire again. Remember, volley."

The artillery commander nodded. He graduated from the Imperial College of the Qin Dynasty. Although close combat is a scumbag, it is very good at adjusting the angle of the cannon and testing the wind speed.

This is the maiden battle of the Great Qin artillery. If successful, he himself will be recorded in the history of the Great Qin. For this reason, the artillery commander repeatedly said his name in his heart, Zhao Xin. This name will definitely be recorded in the historical records of the Great Qin.

"Woo——" The horn of the Roman army sounded.

Their soldiers picked up spears with one hand and held shields with one hand. They held broad swords at their waists.

Wei Huo saw the army equipped like this for the first time, and he was very curious.

The soldiers on the northern border of the Qin Dynasty had fought against the Huns for many years. Their combat power was also extremely fierce. Seeing that the Roman army had already launched a horn of charge, they immediately held military crossbows tightly and were about to start firing arrows when they reached the range.

With the sound of the horn, the Roman army screamed and the infantry phalanx began to charge. Their cavalry also divided into two wings, drew two arcs on the open ground, and surrounded them from the left and right sides.

"Another fifty steps, they will enter the preset range, each responsible for their own position and prepare!" Zhao Xin roared loudly. At the same time, the flag-speaking officer beside him also waved the flag to convey the order.

"yes!"

Seeing that the Roman cavalry had already galloped out, surpassing the central infantry and rushing towards the two wings.

Wei Huo looked calm and waved his hand and ordered the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty to kneel down and prepare to shoot.

When the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were kneeling on the ground, the small-caliber cannon hidden behind them finally appeared.

"put!"

There were roars from the cannon formations on both sides, and at the same time, the flag-speaking officer seemed to use all his strength to wave the flag in his hand down.

"Boom--" In an instant, the sound of artillery fire was cultivated.

In the Qin cannon formation, the quiet cannons roared almost at the same time.

The Great Qin soldiers in front of the cannon formation were so scared that they shook their whole body when they heard this deafening sound.

The powerful recoil of the artillery fire caused thick smoke to rise from the Qin cannon formation. Rows of round ball-shaped shells with gunpowder hidden inside flew through the air and fell into the Roman cavalry team.

Because these round shells flew too fast, they did not explode at the first time, but instead hit the Roman cavalry directly.

Some people were smashed directly by shells, while others were knocked off their horses.

When did anyone who is used to cold weapon wars see such a terrifying thing? Just when the troops on both sides were shocked, the shells that landed on the ground made even louder roars.

In an instant, the cast iron shell wrapped outside was exploded and shrapnel flew across the Roman cavalry.

The Roman cavalry that rushed over from both wings only fell into the first round of artillery fire in the Qin Dynasty, and they were defeated.

"put!"

With the flag of the commander, the Qin Dynasty's artillery became famous again, and there seemed to be a large number of meteors flying by in the sky and landing on the Roman positions.

This time, Zhao Xin, who was in charge of the Roman Central Army, could not help but. He could not get the opponent's infantry into the predetermined shooting range, so he asked the Qin artillery to adjust the artillery angle and began the first round of artillery attacks on the Roman Central Army.

The Roman infantry holding spears were ready to project before they ran too far, and they were blown away by the Qin artillery.

Some fierce Romans threw their spears out madly, but they were too far from the Qin army and were useless.

Seeing them projecting spears, Wei Huo was slightly stunned. The battles of these guys were indeed different. The Qin army and spearmen were all elites in melee combat, and these guys were holding spears not for melee combat, but for throwing.

If it is really a close fight, you will definitely suffer a loss when you encounter this kind of tactic suddenly.

Unfortunately, the Romans encountered the artillery of the Qin Dynasty, which was like a moth to the fire.

The infantry of the Qin Dynasty stared blankly at the Roman army far away from them, with people and horses flying over. Fires flashed in the Roman camp.

Under the dense artillery fire of the Qin Dynasty, only a few Romans rushed through the blockade of the fire net.

However, they were instantly embarrassed after rushing to the artillery blockade.

Because there were not many companions around them, and opposite were soldiers from the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, the short and concise military crossbow in the hands of the Daqin soldiers had become the mysterious weapon of the god of death in their eyes.

The brave Roman soldiers were scared.

Originally, they thought they were tall and stronger than the yellow men in the East. They could defeat the powerful Macedonian army in the West. In the East, they should be able to deal with these yellow-faced and thin-skinned Qin people.

But facing the huge gap, they were afraid. For the first time, they felt the terror of the yellow people.

"Magic, these Qin people know how to use magic!" The Roman commander roared in their own language.

This war was a small-scale contact, a tentative war between the two sides. But it was enough to make the Romans tremble.

In the Roman central camp, the old man led Zhonglimei and Maodun to deduce the war for the Roman general Barcelona who led them.

At this moment, a disgraceful Roman soldiers rushed in.

"The Qin people know magic. Our vanguards are completely wiped out." The soldier said tremblingly.

Barcelona's eyes widened, and first swept the old man, Zhonglimei, and Maodun's body viciously before getting up and coming out.

He did not believe that the powerful Roman army was wiped out in this moment.
