The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

No ads in the full text     Chapter 115 The Power of Cannon Fire

The generals of the Xia army were not surprised by Yeli's departure. For whom they were not the most important, the main thing was that their tribes would be able to survive, be annexed or annexed others, by their side.

Everything happens to me often, this is a phenomenon determined by their special social structure.

Xixia itself is composed of many nomadic tribes, including the strength of Dangxiang, which integrates many tribes backward things, which leads to their strong tribal consciousness, forming a "concentric circle" political identity concept: its loyalty

The object always expands in the direction of "family-tribe-tribal alliance-state". The more you go out, the worse your loyalty is, and the less indifferent your feelings are. This kind of sectarianism and tribalism are reflected in political life, which can easily lead to family.

Politics, nepotism and nepotism; on the other hand, it is easy for those in power to be hostile and distrustful towards other tribes and sects, and they are ruthless when suppressing other tribes and sects resist.

In the thinking of these people, "the winner gets everything, and the loser loses everything." Once the power gives up power, it may mean losing everything, even life. Therefore, the two sides of the fight rarely have mutual compromise or political win-win situations.

.The change of power is a life-and-death violent conflict among these tribes. They would rather fight to the death than give up their power, because everyone understands that once they lose power, they will be settled by the 'fall after the fall', and the consequences are that their wife and daughter will become others.

Playing things, your own people become slaves to others!

On May 21, Li Jifeng personally visited the frontier of Dahe Village to supervise the war. He gathered more than 5,000 soldiers from four military supervisors to take turns to fight. Under the cover of the powerful crossbow army, each carrying a landbag.

After dumping the soil into the trench, it immediately retreated. This method worked very well. Although people were shot dead and injured from time to time, most of the trench was still filled with it. The crossbow army followed forward and shot out the overwhelming rain of arrows.

, It was like an arrow forest growing in front of the Song army!

Under the fearless attack, the trench was filled up little by little, and the Song army gradually could not stand it. Although it was still collapsed, it was constantly retreating to the city. Li Jifeng looked at the scene in front of him and was very happy and diluted.

Yeli's troubles of leaving the army privately, he waved the horse whip in his hand, and ordered the soldiers to mount the flags, and retreated from the army. The gate of the formation opened wide, and teams of brave soldiers wearing leather armor and holding various weapons were in front of the formation.

Queue.

The Western Xia Dynasty established the country with bows and horses. Li Yuanhao formed a group of infantry and cavalry, supplemented by "Puxi Army", "Strong Crossbow Army", "Captaining Live Army", "Sailors", "Crashing Linglang" and other troops.

, The Tiger and Wolf Army synthesized by multiple arms. (Free download of full text e-book) In addition to organizing the "Clan Internal Army" composed of Dangxiang Qiang, this Clan Internal Army also added "Clan Foreign Army". The so-called "Clan Foreign Army",

It refers to selecting brave and good fighters among the captured Han people to form an army, named "Crashing Lang", so that they can charge in front of them, so that they can reduce casualties in the Dangxiang army. To put it bluntly, it is cannon fodder. This is from the weapons in their hands.

It can be seen that iron is a scarce material in Western Xia. In order to make up for the shortcomings, there are even copper, porcelain, and wooden weapons. Look at the copper javelins, bronze medals, porcelain thorns, wooden oars, and wooden deeds in their hands. You can tell that they are in the army.

The position in it.

"The army commander has an order. The first one who stepped onto the city will be turned into a regular army. He will reward 100 taels of silver, two horses, and two camels. If someone does not follow the order, those who escape will be killed without mercy!" A team of soldiers who sent the order will be ordered.

The cavalry rushed out of the central army and proclaimed orders loudly while running. There must be brave men under the heavy reward. The Chilang Ling was the lowest soldier in the Xia army, and even the unscrupulous soldiers who were not as good as those of the errands. Being able to turn positive is to reach the sky in one step

It's.

"Roar, roar..." The people of the cycling were expressing their excitement with their hoarse roar. At this time, the fierce drum sounded, and the cannon fodders formed a square formation, walking slowly into a square.

He quickly left, and he became a trot again, rushing forward towards his "ideal", and his formation changed again, becoming a front-line array.

'Bang' The Xia army soldier who was rushing in the front. When he was still three hundred steps away from the city gate, he suddenly found that a dirt wall in front of the city wall was pushed open, followed by a loud bang of fire, and a small black

The point flew towards his own queue, and the little black dot became bigger and bigger in his eyes, but there was no time for him to tell what it was. He heard a series of screams. He turned his head and looked at the head of his companion beside him.

It was gone, and the people behind me lay down a string of them. Some were pierced by their chests and abdomen, while others covered their arms and legs and lay on the ground screaming. However, the culprit of all this - an iron ball with a cup size

After jumping forward a few times, I was trapped in the soil.

"What is this?" Before he could wake up from his shock, he heard another loud noise. He had only had time to subconsciously raise his shield to protect his head, face and chest, and felt a powerful impact on the shield.

The hardwood shield that could withstand the qiang seemed to have turned into a piece of paper, and instantly turned into pieces. Then he clearly heard the sound of his arm and sternum shattering. His eyes turned black and his body fell to the melting frozen

On the land.

"The mortar team, the target Xia army's crossbow team, is 300 steps away, and the flowering bullets are blooming!" Zhao Xiao observed the situation of the Xia army, not knowing whether it was the excitement of the first war or the nervousness, and his voice roared slightly tremblingly.

"Blooming bullet, three hundred steps!" After receiving the order, the team leader repeated the captain's orders loudly.

"The loading is completed!" An ammunition hand stuffed a pack of gunpowder tightly wrapped in linen into the big belly barrel, blocking a thin wooden board with a diameter similar to the barrel barrel. Another ammunition hand quickly used a shell

Wrap the linen tightly, insert the letter tube and stuff it into the barrel, and then report it loudly.

"Recharge is complete!" The team leader inserted the fuse into the ignition hole at the tail of the cannon. The pointed message tube penetrated the cloth bag wrapped in the gunpowder, and he reported it loudly to the captain.

"Let it go!" Zhao Xiao waved the red flag in his hand and roared. The igniters on each cannon position quickly stepped forward. The torch in his hand was on the letter tube inserted at the tail of the cannon. The letter tube spewed out sparks. Everyone

Immediately covered my ears and opened my mouth, squatting on the ground and burying my head. After the explosion, they didn't care about the results of the battle. The clearing hand immediately stepped forward and stabbed the cannon chamber with a brush dipped in the water in his hand.

One person immediately wiped the barrel with a dry cloth. This was done to extinguish the sparks in the barrel and clean up the residue after the burning of gunpowder. Although it was cumbersome, it was essential.

Although the mortar cannon has a slow firing rate, it is powerful and can fire ten kilograms of projectiles at a distance of 400 steps. With the roar, the shells of the football size rose into the air. The gunpowder in the telecommunication tube was ignited by the launching medicine and flew up.

After a height of more than ten feet, it fell into a parabola and exploded one or two feet above the ground. Broken shrapnel and broken iron filings filled in the projectiles scattered under the stimulation of gunpowder. Xia Jun, who was within ten steps of the explosion point, was within ten steps of the explosion point.

The crossbowman was injured even if he was tall and short. The non-dead person was shocked by the loud noise and the tragic situation in front of him. He immediately had several huge holes in the square formation.

Zhao Xiao commanded the mortar cannon team to suppress the enemy archers. Zhao Meng took over some command and directed the rapid-fire cannon team to block and shoot at the advancing Chonglang Ling. Although the solid bullet is powerful and has strong penetration, it also exists.

The shortcomings of narrow attack surface. The Crazy Orders were frightened and wanted to turn around, but behind them was a supervisor team holding a crossbow. Those who retreated were shot and killed immediately. Moving forward was death, and retreating was death, forcing them to keep moving forward.

.

"Target infantry, shotgun, 200 steps!" Zhao Meng, as a combat staff officer, still knew about these things. After observing the enemy's situation and giving orders, the messenger quickly passed the orders to each gun position. The gunners immediately replaced the shotgun.

The bullet barrel was filled with two and a half pounds of medicine. Inside were more than 200 iron pills the size of soybeans. When shot out from the muzzle, it could form a fan surface of forty steps outside 200 steps, which could effectively block the attacking infantry.

'Boom...' Five rapid-fire cannons fired one after another, and the deafening sound of cannons covered Xia Bing's screams, but it can be clearly seen that Xia Jun was knocked down in pieces, just like the strong wind blew by during summer harvest.

The wheat field and the arrow formation immediately became concave and turned into the moon formation.

Silence. After the rumbling sound of cannons on the battlefield, both camps suddenly fell into a dead silence. The power of artillery fire shocked the audience. The soldiers of the Xia army stood in a daze. The injured soldiers seemed to be unable to accept the missing arm.

The reality of the young legs; the gunners of Xiangyi Army who fired the cannon were also a little lost. They were too terrifying. Many guns were fired during training, and it was the first time they were used to hit people. After several rounds of artillery fire, the smoke of guns dissipated and the ground was lying full of torn

The remaining half of his body can still stand.

Just imagine that no matter how strong a bow is in front of the two armies, it is just a arrow or two holes. But in front of a cannon that can make people shatter with a shell, it is like an old and weak old man standing side by side with a tough butcher, sharply

In front of the artillery fire, whether it is iron armor that can block strong bows and hard crossbows, or leather armor that can only resist swords and guns, there is no difference in front of the speeding projectiles, and it becomes no different. The people who blew the tears of greed in the fragments.

But the life and death companions were scattered in a blink of an eye, and they understood the true meaning of "cannon fodder" from the broken bones. This made everyone feel scared. Even the generals guarding the city of the Song army secretly rejoiced that this terrifying weapon was in their own people.

In the hands!

After the shock, there was a thunderous outbreak. The people of the Crazy Men collapsed and turned around and retreated desperately. There was no order left, only fear and instinct, which was afraid of exceeding the bow in the hands of the supervisory team behind.

The crossbow and the big knife were shouting roars that were not like human voices, and they only wanted to escape from this blood-red hell. Anyone who stood in front of them, whether they were close friends like brothers or the general team that was afraid of them would be

They killed and trampled without any mercy.

"Those who retreat in the face of battle will be killed without mercy!" Yeli looked at the scene in front of him and said coldly. He understood in his heart that these people were useless, and they no longer had the courage to take up swords and guns to fight, but would only make them terrifying.

Contagious to everyone and disrupted the morale of the army. With Yeli's order, a team of crossbowmen stepped forward and shot several rounds of arrows at the retreating gangs. Those who escaped back to the team were immediately chopped by the supervising team.

A gust of wind blew across the head, and the disgusting fishy wind drifted to every corner.
