Chapter 92 King Flag 2
Gui Jing stood in the forefront and saw him falling from the pile of corpses, the Chu soldiers behind him were shocked.
"Save the general, save General Gui!" Someone shouted. The Chu army rushed to snatch the fallen Gui Jing. When the Qin people heard that the fallen general was a general, they came to snatch people without hesitation. However, the spear in their hands could not be beheaded. If there was a short spear in their hands, they might have cut off Gui Jing's head.
The Chu army rushed towards Gui Jing, and the Qin army also rushed towards Gui Jing. People on both sides were crowded with people, pressing down on layers after layer. The bottom was in turmoil, while the upper class was fighting hard. The Qin army was at a disadvantage. They only had spears in their hands, but the spears could not fight in close combat. The Chu army abandoned the spear and used swords and shields to eventually kill them and retreated, and then dug out the unconscious Gui Jing from the crowd.
But at this time, the Zhao army on the other side of the round formation had already collapsed. In the battle where human life was replaced, the Zhao people who had not been trained in strict spear formation and sword and shield could not fight against the Qin army. Countless Qin soldiers rushed into the round formation, and the people in the formation shouted and neighed, and were in chaos. Their only target was the King Jing in the back car. As long as they were born or killed, they could be called the marquis and eat ten thousand households.
"Guard Yihou!Guard Yihou!" The Chu army shouted. The Qin people rushed in like a flood, and only more than fifty heavy cavalry knights blocked the flood. The battle was not a fight between iron and blood, but a collision match. The flood in front died under the sword of the knights, and the flood in the rear continued to surge without any effect. They stepped on the corpse of the former, and finally crossed the thin dam that blocked themselves, completely submerging the dam and everything behind the dam.
"Father--!" Yi Zui's eyes were full of tears. He watched the Qin people submerged the car, but wanted to go forward but was blocked by countless people.
"The formation is broken!" Xiang Chao killed the Qin people so hard that he did not dare to approach. He laughed while killing the enemy, not believing that his army would be destroyed here. However, when he turned around and saw the torrent of the Qin people rushing into the formation, he sighed helplessly.
"Our army is destroyed." Li Qi turned around like the generals. He suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting not dying in the south of Xianyang City. He could at least leave a name in history. Death here would probably only become a lonely ghost.
‘Boom!’ Thunder sounded in the sky, and it seemed to be right next to my ears.
‘Boom..., Boom..., Boom...’ The thunder that Li Qi thought sounded rhythmically, and it completely covered the Qin people’s drums, and the shouts on the battlefield, and every roar made people feel trembling.
The world was already dark, but the dimmer it was, the more conspicuous the fire emitted when the cannon was fired. In the flames and smoke, the royal flag that Gui Jing had just seen was fluttering in the wind. On the extremely wide flag, the three-headed colorful phoenix with a double crown on his head was staring at everything in front of him, and he was disdainful of everything in front of him.
"Big, king, it's the king..." Xiang Chao, who was the first to turn around, saw the three-headed phoenix Ao Ran's independent phoenix stiffen in an instant. The Qin man's spear stabbed in front of his chest, and he was unaware of it.
"King!" Yi Zui, whose eyes were filled with tears, also saw the king flag and the immortal phoenix.
"Brother Wang, it's Brother Wang, it's Brother Wang!" Xiong Han, who was always protecting, jumped up. After all, he was a child. He wanted to be a hero, but he was still afraid of death.
"It's actually King Jing." The Qin army could see it, so it could naturally see it.
From the first cannon sound, Zhang Han saw the three phoenix flag that he would never forget for his life. It was not because the phoenix had three, but because of the phoenix's eyes: disgust, arrogance, coldness... as if nothing in the world is worth seeing, and no character is worth caring about. At this moment, he realized what Xiong Han lacked, and he did not have this kind of demeanor to look down on the world.
Zhang Han was stunned when he looked at the three-headed phoenix flag, while Wang Ao's Lu Lijing stared at the roaring cannon. Every time the cannon was shot, the guns would spit out flames and strong smoke. The Chu army often had new weapons that had never been seen in the Chinese world, but no weapon could shock his nerves like artillery.
These weapons were lined up in a row, three meters apart from each other. They roared one after another, and the iron bullets they shot flew about 180 steps before landing on the solid ground. Then they jumped high and flew for another section, hitting the Qin army array that blocked the Chu army's advance. As if defeating Jie, the Qin army in the array was broken, with broken limbs and broken bodies, and the dense array was made into a deep groove.
The bombarded Qin army had no reaction at first, and then began to panic. The military officers and soldiers behind the formation rushed to suppress the Qin soldiers who had retreated without permission. Their heads were provoked by the military officers, but the shouts of the military officers were covered by the rumbling cannons. Everyone in the Qin army who could not advance and retreat was panic, and some even looked to death.
"All camp obeys the orders, advance! Go!" Wu Kong, the artillery captain, issued an order. The artillery was in front of the king's flag, the infantry was in the middle, and the cavalry stood on both sides. The valley was narrow, and the water of the Fiery was divided from it, and a battalion of sixteen fifteen kilograms filled the bottom of the valley. At this moment, the soldiers led by Yi Hou and Li Qi were surrounded by the Qin army, and the his army had to advance quickly to defeat the Qin army that was blocking his eyes.
The order was issued, and Lifu, who was behind the artillery, immediately stepped forward. They lifted the large frame and pushed the artillery forward. The fifteen-pound cannon alone had more than 500 kilograms, and the carriage frame supporting it was also more than 500 kilograms. The pulling force of a man was not as good as a horse. Under field conditions, a pulling weight of more than 200 kilograms, while the pulling weight of a man was only thirty kilograms.
A fifteen-pound cannon with a total of 1,100 kilograms is theoretically thirty-six people to push. The gun is limited in size, so many people cannot focus on it. Fortunately, the valley bottom is solid flat ground, and the Lifu selected from the army moved the cannon in less than twenty people.
The artillery was more than 200 steps away from the Qin army array. Now Lifu wants to move the artillery to within 200 steps, preferably close to 150 steps, which can fire shotguns at this distance.
The Lifu made various screams, and Xiong Jing felt ache. The two flying scissors had limited loading capacity, and he could only choose a fifteen-pound cannon between the fifteen-pound cannon and the ten-pound cannon. Fortunately, the fifteen-pound cannon was within the weight of six Dima, otherwise he would not be able to chase him quickly. The next day after Wei Liao knew the plan to attack Qin, the carrier pigeon flew out of Xianyang. He didn't care about so many Xiong Jing, who immediately took a cannon battalion and dozens of knights to leave Yingdu, but he was still one step too late.
"What's our army?" The Chu army was pushing the weapons that made a thunderous sound, and the infantry and cavalry behind them slowly moved forward. Zhang Han, who came to his senses, asked Wang Ao. He had never seen such weapons that emitted huge roars and terrifying fire. Seeing every roar, a gap was made in the Qin army array, and he had no idea how to deal with it.
"Attack quickly!" Even though we had never seen gunpowder or cannons, Wang Ao knew that this was the best time to attack. It doesn't matter if the principle of the weapon is not related. He has already seen the function of the weapon, and at least part of it. This weapon is terrifying when it roars, but now it stops roaring.
"Shan." King Jing appeared in front of him, but Zhang Han would rather not appear. He shouted "Shan" and then waved his hand to order. Jian Gu made a big move again. Qin soldiers, who were frightened by the artillery just now, shouted with all their might and began to attack forward.
"All camp obey orders, stop!" The Qin army had already attacked, and the gunners were inactive. After the powerful man lowered the gun mount, they were in an orderly manner.
"The whole camp obeys the order: the target is in front of the shotgun, shoot quickly!" Wu Kong's voice was a little nervous. He finally remembered that the king said that actual combat is completely different from training. This is the situation now. When the order was given, his legs kept trembling.
Wu Kong trembled and Xiong Jing was extremely nervous. Three years of artillery training was the era of curved shooting. After the infantry, the artillery in the era of smoothbore direct shooting must have been more than three years of real maturity. It was like learning driving. You can get a driving license in the driving school for two months, but it would take several years to become an old driver who was not afraid of danger and calmly turned the steering wheel before the crash.
The enemy rushed over on the battlefield, and blood and life-and-death packages threatened every gunner. At this time, anything you learned might forget everything in an instant, and then enter a state of hypoglycemia: your face turned pale, panic, trembling, fainting, and falling to the ground.
Fortunately, no matter how urgent it was, Xiong Jing did not forget to give candy to the gunmen and the gunmen.
"The whole company obeys the order: the target is in front of the shotgun, and the shot is rapid!"
"The whole company obeys the order: the target is in front of the shotgun, rapid fire..."
As soon as Wu Kong finished speaking, the company commander of the cannon company repeated the orders to the cannon leader. When the cannon leader repeated the order, the cotton brush of gunner No. 1 had already been inserted into the cannon chamber to extinguish the flames and remove the ashes; the shotgun and the medicine bag were connected into one. After the gunner No. 2 stuffed the shotgun into the cannon chamber, the push rod of the gunner No. 4 quickly retreated it to the bottom of the bore. According to the firing table, gunner No. 5 had turned to the appropriate launch angle. Seeing gunner No. 6 poking the medicine bag and pouring in the gunpowder, he shouted: "It's ready--!"
"Let's go!" The Qin army was rushing towards him and getting closer. The cannon leader quickly ordered the cannon to fire.
‘Boom--’ Shotballs were fired in a volley of fire, and the shotguns flew out of the muzzle and rushed towards the Qin army. While running, they either splashed out blood or fell suddenly.
The ears were filled with the sound of cannons and the shouts of Qin people. The gunner had no time to watch the results of the battle, but quickly repeated the previous action: extinguish the remaining flames, clear the ashes, stuff them into the shotgun, retreat into the bottom of the chamber, poke the medicine bag, pour in the gunpowder, and finally pull the fuse.
In order to cool the cannon body, normal artillery only fires one round per minute. In critical condition, shotgun can be fired, which can reach four rounds per minute. The dense shotgun flew across the front of the muzzle. Due to the inertia of the Qin army, who are used to fighting cold weapons, they rushed to the muzzle for seventy steps. The flesh and steel competed with life and death at this distance. On one side were the Chu army gunners who were getting faster and faster, and on the other side were the Qin army soldiers who charged forward. Finally, when the Chu army gunners began to fire double shotguns, the Qin army, which had long been out of the array, sobbed and defeated the entire line.
"General Ma!" Xiong Jing, who was covered in sweat, pretended to be relaxed and looked at the horse guards not far away.
