Chapter 886: Defeating Wushu with Firearms (Thanks to Piggy for the Reward)
"Xi Lulu~~" The first time I heard the roar of the cannon, all the horses of the golden soldiers were frightened. Many golden soldiers with excellent riding skills fell off their horses one after another, and then they were trampled to death by the panicked horses. On the contrary, the number of soldiers who died was much more than those who were directly bombarded by Ling Zhen's cannon.
On the other hand, the Liangshan Army's formation is not chaotic at all. The horses of the Liangshan Army have already undergone relevant training. There.
"What is this?" Wan Yanchang managed to control the horse without falling off the horse, and stared at the cannons that were constantly firing in the front row of the Liangshan Army.
"General, we must rush forward. If we let Song Jun's tricks be used, we will have to be beaten passively!" A lieutenant hurriedly came to remind us.
"Pass down the order, the whole army will attack!" Wan Yanchang also figured out something, the projectiles fired by that thing can only hit a line, and it is expected that as long as they avoid this line and rush to the front, those soldiers can only be slaughtered by them up.
So those golden soldiers who could still sit on their horses tightened their reins one after another, calmed down the restless war horses, and rushed towards Liangshan Army together.
"The first row, raise your guns! The second row is ready!" Yang Zhi stood in front of the infantry phalanx, issuing orders loudly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. If the marshal's army formation was so easy to break through, he, Lin Chong and others would not Feeling that there is no Zhang Zhijiang in the world anymore.
When the golden soldiers entered the firing range of the firecrackers, Yang Zhi immediately gave the order to shoot. Countless bullets flew towards the Jin army with screams. The bullets made of lead easily tore apart the golden soldiers' armor. A big blood hole was dug in them, and the golden soldier who was shot fell off his horse and was trampled into a pulp before he even cried out in pain!
Not only the soldiers, but even the horses couldn't stand being shot. The horses in the front row fell down one after another, and tripped the horses behind. With one round of gunfire, a large layer of Jin Bing was cut off.
"The second row shoots! The third row prepares! The first row retreats and reloads!" Yang Zhi gave the order again, the second row of soldiers fired another round of salvo, the third row rushed forward to take aim, and the first row of soldiers fired. Step back to clean the gun chamber, take out the fixed gunpowder and bite it with your teeth, pour it into the gun chamber for compaction, and fill it with projectiles.
These steps have been practiced thousands of times. Even on the battlefield, they didn't feel panic at all. They didn't even look at the comrades shooting next to them, nor the enemies on the opposite side. They just concentrated on preparing and waited for the third row to finish shooting. At the same time, they had loaded their bullets and returned to the front row.
"This... what kind of weapon is this!" Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in the back row were stunned. Originally, Shen Long asked them to observe for a while, and they were a little dissatisfied, but now seeing the formation of Liang Shanjun,
It was only now that these people realized that this kind of situation was indeed beyond their ability to blend in now.
"The golden soldiers are already timid, and the cavalry can attack! If the two of you want to gain some credit, let's follow together!" Shen Long said with a faint smile. With the talents of others, the artillery and muskets assembled by the Liangshan Army have reached the middle stage of the era of front-loading guns.
It directly crossed the matchlock gun and entered the stage of flintlock and fixed-loading ammunition. These technologies will not mature until five hundred years later. It can be said that the Liangshan Army is an army five hundred years ahead of the times. Next.
"I'm waiting, but I don't want to take the credit of others." Both Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were a little discouraged. If the battle was stalemate, they would definitely want to join the fight right away, but now, anyone with a little military knowledge can see that the defeat of the Jin soldiers It is already unstoppable, what's the point of going up to pick up cheap?
"A certain family always thought they knew something about the art of war. Today, after seeing the marshal's army, I realized that what I learned before was still insufficient!" Han Shizhong sighed. Battle?
"If the two of you want to learn, after the siege of Tokyo is over, you can go to martial arts to learn!" Shen Long was also very curious. What can the two achieve?
"Let's talk about this after the war! Wanyan Chang's army has been defeated, and Wanyan Zongwang's army is not far behind, just take advantage of the situation to charge him for a while!" Seeing Wanyan Chang's army began to flee, Shen Long hurried Command the army to pursue tail after tail.
Wanyan Zongwang, that is, Jin Wushu, Yue Fei's deadly rival in the storytelling book, never expected that Wanyan Chang would be defeated so quickly, so simply, he hurriedly sent someone to intercept Wanyan Chang's rout, so as not to let them disrupt his own army formation formation.
But Wan Yanchang's army had been frightened by the firearms. They thought that the gods and Buddhas would bless the Song Dynasty, so how could they care so much? Can't stand it, and was rushed into the army formation by the cavalry of Liangshan Army.
The tactics of these cavalry are different from those of the Liao Army and Song Army that Jin Wushu had seen. The cavalry of the Liangshan Army who acted as the vanguard first took out a dark object from his arms, brought it to his mouth, and bit a thread With a slight tug, sparks came out of the string, and these cavalrymen quickly threw the black thing into the Jin Wushu army formation as if they were afraid of burning their hands.
Before they came back to their senses, they heard a loud bang from the black thing, and all the people and horses within a radius of Zhang Xu were killed. These good men with superb riding skills and high martial arts skills died without even slashing a knife!
Using grenades all the way to open the way, the cavalry of the Liangshan Army quickly cut through the Jin Wushu army, and then circled around and came back again, continuing to divide and eliminate the Jin Guo army.
The infantry on the opposite side also approached the Jin Bing in a neat line, and started shooting as soon as they were within the range of the range. As soon as he lowered his head, the arrows were bounced off by the helmet, and those shot on the chest were also broken by the breastplate. Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot to the hands and feet, the Liangshan army was almost uninjured.
Jin Wushu fled in a panic under the protection of his personal guards, but all the 50,000 soldiers and horses he brought with him were lost. Only a few thousand escaped, and the rest were either killed on the spot or directly surrendered to the Liangshan Army. .
The first battle of the Liangshan Army was also the first time that gunpowder weapons appeared on the battlefield in this world, and they won an unprecedented brilliant victory. The first battle wiped out one-third of the Jin soldiers.
