MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2628 The wind and rain are all over the sky, and the wind and rain are sweeping

  Chapter 2628 Guizi Scroll is full of wind and rain, sweeping

   Just when Tao Dasheng was about to fight to the death, Hei Yunlong also encountered a fierce attack from the Jianzhou Army.

  Different from the camps set up by Tao Dasheng relying on the terrain, what can be relied on on the wide flat ground is to form a camp to fight recklessly.

  The distance from Tao Dasheng's camp to Heiyunlong's battle line was only a mere five miles, and it was almost like a flood flooding the embankment, sweeping in. Naturally, the first to arrive was the Jianzhou cavalry all over the mountains and plains.

Perhaps because of the previous lessons learned, the entire Jianzhou cavalry is no longer assembled into formations, but is attacking in a loose and free manner. Anyway, the number of defenders is limited, and the huge advantage in cavalry can completely crush the cavalry of the Zhou army , don't worry about encountering too many challenges.

  Looking at the roaring Jianzhou iron cavalry, Hei Yunlong finally waved his hand and pulled out the long-barreled heavy artillery array behind him.

   This is the big killer that Da Zhou relies on.

  Facing the overwhelming Jianzhou iron cavalry who refused to charge intensively, the traditional long-barreled heavy artillery and tiger squat artillery have flaws.

  Tiger crouching guns have a short range and high density. They are more lethal to slow-moving infantry intensive charges, but they are not effective against mobile cavalry, especially loose formations.

The long-barreled gun has a long range, but the shell is single, and the lethality is not enough. But this time, the Gyeonggi Military-Industrial Complex has improved the chain bombs originally used on the navy according to Feng Ziying's request, and lengthened the distance between the two chain bombs. Iron chain, in this way, once this special chain bomb is released from the chamber and lands, it will become a special weapon that comes in handy on hard ground.

Forty long-barreled heavy cannons are unimaginable for the Jianzhou Army, but for Dazhou, it is nothing more than a slight shift in the production sequence of the Gyeonggi Military-Industrial Complex, changing the production of heavy cannons for the navy to production for the army. , especially if Governor Xiao Feng needs it, it is even more necessary to have an advantage guarantee.

  The two hundred long-barreled heavy artillery pieces had already been equipped in place less than half a year after Feng Ziying arrived in Liaodong, and this time forty pieces were directly allocated to Heiyunlong for this round of defense.

Everyone, including Hu Erhan, knew that since Hei Yunlong chose to fortify here, he must be prepared, but this area is too wide, no matter how it is fortified, it is difficult to cover the whole area, and the cavalry can easily intersperse. Judging from the formation, it also relies on three camps of different sizes and the connected infantry defense line, in order to block the enemy to the maximum extent.

  For the Jianzhou cavalry, this is also the most favorable formation. It only needs to select a few points to break through, which can avoid the concentrated attack of firearms, and can choose weak points and break through with ease.

Hu Erhan could also predict the blocking of the Zhou army's artillery and firecrackers, but at such a distance, the power of the projectiles of the long-barreled heavy artillery was limited. For the highly mobile cavalry, the damage was too limited. It was only when the chain bullets flying in the air appeared and fell to the ground and swept across after countless dull cannons that he realized that poverty limited his imagination.

  Accompanied by Hei Yunlong's order, forty long-barreled heavy cannons roared, and forty strings of chain bullets flew out according to different angles and ranges.

  Each chain bomb consists of two round bullets and a steel hinge in the middle. The length of the steel hinge is about nine feet. It looks like a group of demons dancing in the air, and once it hits the ground, it becomes a blood-devouring madman.

  The huge kinetic energy spherical projectile endows this chain bomb with a super impact force. Once it hits the ground, the two warheads run wildly according to their respective landing strengths and directions, constantly jumping and rushing on the ground.

  The Jianzhou cavalry who were caught off guard were caught off guard by this sudden wild blow.

   Needless to say, being directly hit by the projectile body, it is death if you touch it, and die if you touch it.

  The key is that the hinge between the two warheads is too harmful. They sometimes move horizontally, sometimes vertically, sometimes pull diagonally, and sometimes switch directions. They are completely driven by the different elastic forces generated by the collision of the projectiles on the ground.

  Countless cavalrymen could avoid the warheads, but it was difficult to avoid the hinges sweeping across the ground. The horse's legs broke off almost as soon as they touched the ground, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness.

  Hei Yunlong couldn't help but smacked his lips.

   A chain bomb he chased in the binoculars witnessed the miracle happen.

First, a projectile hit a cavalryman, and then the tight hinge swept down the horse legs of three cavalrymen in succession, causing the three cavalrymen to fall to the ground, and then the chain bullet, which lost its kinetic energy, continued to move forward wildly , directly ran into a cavalry who had reined in his horse and wanted to avoid it, dragged him off his horse, and then rushed further into the middle of the two cavalry, forcefully forcing the two cavalry to avoid the rolling The two demons collided, and one of the cavalrymen fell to the ground on the spot and was crushed by his own horse on his thigh.

This kind of situation is still happening. On the one hand, the kinetic energy of the chain bullets fired by the long-barreled heavy artillery is too large. Thousands of steps away, the chain bombs fired by the long-barreled heavy artillery began to sweep across the sky, directly causing a large number of cavalry damage, and even no suitable countermeasures could be found to deal with it.

  When the barrel of the gun was cleaned and the second chain bomb was loaded and fired, the entire battlefield was once again filled with fear.

Because the infantry phalanx that followed these cavalrymen also suffered such a blow, the flying chain bullets swept across the entire ten-foot area facing them, and the soldiers were swept down without even a chance to snort. , the bones were broken, the tendons were broken, and the flesh was bloody. Even if it was only taken, it would be half dead and the internal organs would be damaged.

  Having encountered such a blow a thousand steps away, and still not being able to find a good countermeasure to deal with it in an emergency, this is why Hu Erhan rushed to get restless.

  He had an increasingly bad premonition. He had this bad premonition when he crossed the side wall, and it was the same when he attacked the first camp.

   What should we do now, continue to attack, the price paid is unbearable; retreat and find another way? The weakness of the long-barreled heavy artillery is obvious, that is, it can only be set in a fixed position, and it is difficult to move. As long as you avoid this preset position, you can avoid the attack, but is there still time to find another way?

Hu Erhan felt that Zhou Jun's targeted pre-set position definitely knew the existence of his group in advance, and he also accurately predicted that his surprise army could only launch an attack from this line, so that he could deploy such a precise defense. , and things like long-barreled heavy artillery are generally placed on the city walls, but Zhou Jun actually used them directly in field battles, which is too unacceptable.

   Just when Hu Erhan was at a loss, Nurhachi found that his strategy and tactics also encountered unexpected setbacks.

  When Wang Yiping sent a signal to cooperate from inside to outside, Nurhachi finally put his own barracks into battle.

Three thousand of the most elite armored cavalry charged towards the phalanx of swords, shields, spears and firecrackers assembled by the opponent, followed by the phalanx of light cavalry and infantry. He wanted to use Wang Yiping's counterattack In order to complete the battle, he used his most elite personal soldiers to give the opponent a fatal blow, completely broke through the opponent's main camp, and completely defeated the opponent.

  But all hopes were shattered in the roar of the opponent's rear.

Chain bombs roared all over the sky, and hundreds of heavy artillery shot out more than a hundred chain bombs in one breath, and the key is that Nurhachi relied on his heavy armored cavalry, all of which were selected high-headed horses. Specially wrapped in iron leaf armor, ordinary firecrackers and arrows simply cannot reach them at this distance, or they cannot cause much damage to them.

  Even if the opponent has heavy artillery, the round projectiles have limited damage, and even if there is a loss, they can afford it.

   But when this kind of chain bullets that can cover a range of one foot in every round came overwhelmingly, Nurhachi was dumbfounded.

He didn't know who invented this kind of chain bomb that was too targeted. It was a blow to his heavy armored cavalry. One roll and one path, one sweep at a time, before the three thousand cavalry really charged, they were covered by this The storm of chain bombs swept through, tearing it to pieces.

   Even the surrounding light cavalry and infantry phalanx were smashed to pieces.

  Looking at the extremely miserable scene in front of him, Nurhachi felt his heart tightening suddenly, his eyes went dark subconsciously, and he sat down limply.

  He Heli who was beside him was so startled that he quickly supported Nurhachi: "Khan, Khan, you must not fall down..."

  Nurhachi felt dizzy and dizzy, his whole body seemed to be sucked out of energy, and he could no longer support his body.

It can be said that this battle had cost him a lot of hard work and energy to design such a scene. At first he thought it was hard to force Zhou Jun to fight with them, but now it seems that he took the initiative to take the initiative. Into the opponent's trap.

This battle has not really started, and he has already suffered a crushing defeat, and Nurhachi has a hunch that most of the signals from Wang Yiping's side are already under the control of Zhou Jun's side, and it may even be done on purpose to lure himself Take the bait here.

  Once this was the case, Nurhachi didn't dare to think about it any further. What about the western front?

  The more I think about it, the more dizzy I feel, and I feel like I'm sweating profusely. Countless unimaginable results come out of my mind. What should I do now?

  The only thing that can be determined now is that this battle can no longer be fought like this. Zhou Jun must have made careful preparations to deal with it, and may even deliberately follow his own path to make plans.

   If this continues, I'm afraid it will be a crushing defeat, and there will be no chance of recovery.
