Chapter 623: Repel the enemy with one shot
Just a few breaths ago...
Compared with other soldiers, Jiang Yang thought more.
When the other single-shot guns are roughly turned around, and then relying on the number of people below, they do not aim carefully, and they can directly release them in one breath. Anyway, there are people below, so there are no need to worry about not being able to hit. Even if they hit a relatively empty place, the fire blew up in the air and the caltrops can still be used to prick a few people. Even if they can't prick people, they can block the fast horse behind them.
However, Jiang Yang was unwilling to do such a rough operation, but wanted to find valuable goals as much as possible.
Of course, if it was the one he used to only face the loess and back to the sky, he would never think more than what he was right in front of him, but because there was a Wang Niu in the same village, the situation would be different.
When Wang Niu was in the village, he was famous for his lazy and disgusted work. He would never stand when he could lie down. Even if he came to Wuding Camp, he had not changed his habit. At most, it was because the team leader was urging him tightly and he could deal with it a little.
However, I have to admit that Wang Niu is still a little capable, especially his politeness. So after that team, Jiang Xi and Jiang Yang were assigned to different teams and were still doing the work of soldiers. However, Wang Niu was valued by Shangguan step by step, and he mostly did errands.
After running around, getting familiar with people at all levels, your horizons will be opened, and when your conversation changes, you have to find someone to show it. A fellow villager like Jiang Xi and Jiang Yang is the ideal goal. After a few moments, Jiang Xi and Jiang Yang's knowledge has changed. At least he knows the above preferences and what it means to make a contribution.
At this time, on the battlefield, after surviving the initial torture, Jiang Yang's fear faded away. He saw that even under the attack of these turrets, even though there were many enemies, it was still difficult to resist.
However, as the width of the battlefield expanded, the fire flares launched by more than a dozen turrets were a bit lost and it was difficult to take care of the entire situation.
In fact, the single-shot gun at this time had undergone two rounds of construction. Under the supervision of Gongshuhua and others, there were many finished products and many defective products, most of which were pulled over and prepared on the city wall.
However, some of them have to be divided into different parts, so that the city is equipped with equipment, Dai County is not a small city, and the city wall is divided into several sides, so the stone casting mechanisms made must be evenly distributed to several different city walls.
Not only were the turrets separated, but even the pre-stored fire was also dispersed to a few straits.
The city wall where Jiang Yang and the others were located was just next to the north gate. Chen Zhi estimated in advance that if the enemy attacked, the most likely would be a surprise attack from the north gate and the west gate. Therefore, the city walls of these two gates were prepared the most fully. As expected, these were confirmed at this time.
In fact, just now, the fire reserves of the other three city gates are all moving towards the north gate as much as possible. After all, he has prepared enough and has too little time. After these rounds of fire, the "ammunition" prepared in advance has been consumed by half.
Now that the battlefield is opened, if you can fight this side, you can't fight that side. It's like hitting a gopher. If you press this side, it will pop up, making people feel frivolous.
And to make things worse, because it is the first time to use this kind of equipment and control newly recruited recruits, there are not many rules in command. Even those responsible for overall coordination are laymen. Not to mention coordinating, it is good that they do not interfere with each other.
The result is that the fire flew out, either too scattered and could not play the role of dense attacks, or too dense, and repeatedly attacked the same place, with several batches of attacks, repeated damage.
In this way, the effect of the weapon is greatly reduced.
However, because the firewidth design is comprehensive and clever, the lethality is there, relying on the pressure of fear, it is the first time that such fierce equipment has appeared in the world, which has naturally made many nomads afraid to move forward, and they can still control the situation.
"Jiang Yang, other cannons have been fired in four rounds, we only have two rounds. When will this third round be thrown out?"
Jiang Yang was able to calm down, but the others in the same group were a little unbearable.
This single-shot cannon requires more than 40 people to operate. At this time, one person raised it, and the others also agreed. There were immediately chaotic sounds, which made Jiang Yang feel irritated.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't make noise. I know what you are thinking, and you still want to make meritorious contributions and kill more thieves, but what's the point of killing these unknown soldiers? If you want to fight, hit a big fish!"
"Where are the big fish?"
The man was still asking. Jiang Yang was about to answer, but his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw that at the edge of the battlefield, the cavalry that suddenly accelerated and exerted force had a personal outfit and aura, which was completely different from others, and was surrounded by many red-robed cavalry!
"It's this person, it's definitely not easy!"
He was still thinking about it, but listening to the "collapse" sound, a single-sled cannon not far away suddenly bounced the rope, and a fire flew straight towards the extraordinary person!
"Not good! Let's take it first!"
Jiang Yang was shocked and beat his chest and stamped his feet. He felt a pity, but when he looked carefully, he saw someone taking the initiative to block the fire!
"There is still a chance! Someone is trying hard to stop him, which further shows that this person's identity must be taken down!"
As soon as his thoughts fell, he didn't bother to tell his comrades around him in detail. He swung the rope and then moved the cannon bag. He moved the angle and tried his best to aim. After seeing that the cannon next to him had another movement, he did not dare to delay and quickly loosened his hand!
Tightened, he stared at the flying fire and clenched his fists.
The aiming of this stone caster, similar to a bow and arrow, requires a parabola in the air, but it is also affected by factors such as wind speed, distance, etc. In addition to technology, it also values luck.
Whoosh!
The fire flew straight out, entrusting Jiang Yang's hopes, drew a wonderful parabola in the air, and finally hit the target!
Looking at Jiang Xi's perspective, although I can't see clearly whether it was hitting the head or the mount under my crotch, because the back of the horn exploded!
But no matter which one it is, it is enough for that person to eat a pot.
Sure enough, after the hit, this obviously important figure, like the others, fell off the horse with a scream, and the red-robed knights around him rushed over like crazy, desperately trying to rescue him. Some knights even covered them with their cloaks and robes, and wanted to help the man put out the fire.
"It's done! You all are witnesses. We have caught a big fish!"
Jiang Yang laughed and turned around and said this to many of his comrades who were still a little confused.
At the same time, in the center of the city wall, Chen Zhi, who was also pulling a bow and shooting arrows on the city wall, shot a close rider off the horse with one arrow. His shooting skills were superb and he could draw a big bow. He was not much better than the most elite archer in the city. He scored almost every shot within sixty steps!
Such shooting skills also made many soldiers look at the prefect with admiration, and no longer simply regard him as a noble bureaucrat, and he vaguely admired him.
Not to mention, the fire that killed the enemy's army and lost its armor was also the hands of this prefect. Therefore, the soldiers and generals on the wall almost all showed their awe of Chen Zhi on their faces, and even condensed into substance!
Therefore, when Chen Zhi lowered his bow and arrow, commanded the soldiers around him to prepare the stones, combined with the stones coated with special oil, saltpeter, and sulfur, and combined with the heated iron cone, he smashed them downwards, rushing the stars to the edge of the city wall. He wanted to destroy the city gate and set up a ladder to smash them, screaming and rolling on the spot.
At this time, Ran Zhan, who was a little anxious, ran from the side and said as he walked: "Prince, the fire in the northern city wall is about to be finished, when will he catch up?"
"It's almost done. I've been sending you over to carry it. I believe it will arrive soon." Chen Zhi put down his bow and arrow and said lightly.
Ran Zhan said anxiously: "Prince, the situation is not good now. The enemy suddenly divided the troops and suddenly opened a wide distance, especially the cavalry on the left wing, which was extremely fierce. If you want to suppress this side, the enemy who was blocked could not control it. Should you mobilize some single-stop cannon from other city walls?"
"I will convey the order, but you must be mentally prepared. After all, this thing needs to be transported, it takes manpower and dismantled, which is complicated and time-consuming." As he said this, Chen Zhi suddenly fell silent, thinking about whether it was time to use poison gas to destroy it. This thing was a trump card. The current situation seemed a bit difficult, but in fact it was much better than he expected at first.
"I thought I would use the final trump card, but in this situation, at the worst case, using poison gas to silence the fire seems to be enough to calm down..."
Just as Chen Zhi was thinking about when the order to release poison gas was officially issued, while Ran Zhan was anxiously waiting for the other gas to be delivered, a news that surprised them suddenly came to the two people.
"The enemy suddenly retreated, and it was quite hasty!"
Listening to the news that Chen Ju reported, Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, turned around and looked out of the city. He had been standing at the top of the city and bent his bow and archery, but he was also observing the situation on the battlefield. He was a little distracted by Ran Zhan's arrival, but he also grasped the enemy's movements. At this time, he saw that the cavalry team belonging to Duan Wenyang's direct line was retreating in chaos, and immediately understood.
He turned his head and ordered Ran Zhan: "Don't supervise the battle here, go and take those two thousand people, push the cannon carts, chase the enemy, and try to capture as many people as possible! The mine staff is very vacant!"
