1440. Chapter 1440 The cannon shoots him X

The front team thought so, and the rear team who was not hit by the shells also thought the same. When the shells fell, the cavalry in the rear team felt that there was an illusion in front of them. The army that was so majestic just now suddenly turned into a pile of flesh and blood, with broken limbs.

The arms are extremely miserable.

Many people were in a daze, frightened by the thunderous bombardment. Not only were the people confused, but their mounts were also frightened and manic.

The Jurchen and Mongolian war horses had experienced such scenes and were not harmed by artillery fire, but they were frightened by the roar and roar and jumped up and down, directly throwing the cavalry on their backs, or dragging them around, such as those close to the shelling area.

, those behind also hurriedly reined in their horses and slowed down, and then collided with the crowd further behind.

While they were in chaos, the orders of the supervising team were passed from front to back, layer by layer.

"Go forward! Go forward and attack the enemy formation! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Not only did the people in front think of the opportunity, Amin and Jilharang, who were sitting in the central army, also thought of it. They were also frightened by such shelling, but they also realized that the last chance was right in front of them. The round of shelling just now caused

The heavy losses shook morale, but judging from the frontal fire, the second round of bombardment would have to wait for a while. We could only take advantage of this gap to rush in and kill the enemy. If we missed it, the battle would be doomed.

Orders were issued from level to level, and Amin and Jilharang sent out their most elite soldiers to supervise the battle. Those who disobeyed orders were beheaded, and those who hesitated were beheaded. If there was any ambiguity, they would be killed with one knife.

Under the threat of military law and life and death, and everyone gradually figured it out, taking this opportunity to rush forward would not only get revenge, but also have a chance of victory.

In such an urgent crisis, there may be some people with clear minds who may realize that the overall situation is in crisis, but everyone has no other choice. In such a terrain, a narrow strip between mountains and seas, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will be doomed.

, then the only option is to make a desperate move.

The cavalry group that had hesitated just now began to surge again, but in the current situation, no matter how fast it was, it couldn't go any faster. There were so many corpses of horses and horses lying on the road they had to pass. It was impossible to go fast if they had to try their best to control their mounts.

The cavalry in front were waiting for those behind. They were a little frightened at this time, because the fire rifle soldiers on the opposite side were about to move and seemed to take the initiative to move forward. For some reason, they did not move and continued to stand there in formation.

Many Jianzhou cavalrymen couldn't help but look at Zhao Jiajun's artillery position, but it was so far away and blocked by the smoke that had not yet dissipated, so they couldn't see clearly.

"You bastards, don't worry, don't rush to light the fire, reset the artillery, and wait for the Tatars to come over again!"

On the artillery position of Zhao Jiajun, the battalion commander in charge was hoarse from shouting. He shouted to the people around him, asking the ordering soldiers to pass on the order.

This kind of battle is really interesting. The Tatars think that their cavalry is unparalleled, but they don't know the details of Zhao Jiajun's firearms. Without knowing the details, they are completely led by the Zhao Jiajun to beat them.

Some people say that Zhao Jiajun has such sharp firearms, and any strategy is meaningless, and the tactics are simple and crude, just bomb and shoot, and then the cavalry and infantry move forward to sweep them away.

These views are all superficial. Who says that firearms cannot be used for stratagem? The previous bombardment of the Jianzhou artillery array not only made the opponent's artillery unable to fire, but also caused the opponent to misjudge the loading speed of Zhao Jiajun's artillery.

Under normal circumstances, after the first round of shelling, the enemy would not dare to advance and would retreat, but now the enemy feels there is an opportunity and sends himself forward again.

Everyone in the Zhao Jiajun artillery position showed a smile. This smile was a little cruel and a little ferocious. The enemy had taken the bait and the prey had stepped into the trap.

The rear group of the Jianzhou Jurchen Cavalry rushed through the previous shelling area. The group surged and began to rush towards the Zhao Jiajun's front line again. However, the interval was too long. The Zhao Jiajun's firecrackers had already finished loading and re-arranged.

At this time, the minds of the Zhao family's artillery soldiers had been completely stabilized, and they had carefully considered the Jianzhou Jurchen.

As soon as he rushed forward less than twenty steps, his mind that had just collapsed and panic began to recover. He rushed over before the Zhao Jiajun's artillery fired again, rushed up to them, completely defeated them, and then it was a great victory. Everyone in the Jianzhou Cavalry Brigade was defeated.

Thinking this way, they can only think this way.

Cannons roared and thunder thundered.

When the cannon sounded, when the thunder roared intensively, and just filled the open area, and just rushed forward, blocking the space for turning around, the face of each Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry became pale, and everyone's expression changed.

I was desperate, it turned out that Zhao Jiajun's artillery could fire so fast.

The shells roared into the cavalry queue, blood and flesh splattered, and corpses were everywhere. The cavalry in the front wanted to move forward faster. Even if they were to face the firecrackers, they were not willing to stay in the area where the shells were bombarded. Some people

Some wanted to rush forward, some wanted to disperse, and some wanted to escape. Under such confusion, the entire cavalry formation fell into chaos, crowded, collided, and entangled.

Whoever stands in front of him, who blocks his way of escape, is his sworn enemy. Whether it is his companions, friends or even relatives, he will immediately wield his sword at each other. The cavalry on the outside no longer care about the mountains on both sides.

It's still the sea, no matter how he lives or dies, it's better than staying in this hell of flesh and blood. Run, run as far away as possible, and stay as far away from here as possible.

The cavalrymen who were charging forward were firmly blocked by the volleys of fire cannons. They might be able to escape the first round of volleys. Row after row, they would always shoot down the cavalrymen.

The artillery fired again, this time there was not such a neat volley, but it was fired one after another. At the beginning, the sound of the cannon was not so violent, and then it became smaller and louder, as if the thunder in the distance was getting closer and closer, and finally began to explode above my head.

, there may be some omissions in the fire cannon shots, but every shell that hits the ground will definitely shatter flesh and blood and reap lives.

Only then did Jianzhou Jurchen know how fast Zhao Jiajun's artillery could go. After the third round of shooting started, the formation of the Jianzhou cavalry brigade within the artillery range had become very loose, and they no longer had to push each other.

It's crowded, everyone can run away.

On the battlefield, you can also see this strange scene that has only been seen in many years. The large group of cavalry dispersed in a hurry. Everyone was trying to escape. Some went to the left, some to the right, some backward, but no one moved forward.

The Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry team outside the artillery range no longer had the intention to move forward, and even the supervising team no longer had the energy to kill and urge.

Not only have they lost their spirit, they are now too frightened to do anything. At this point, moving forward will mean death. If you dare to urge, the Jurchens and Mongolian cavalry will dare to fight you with their swords. Even the supervising team themselves are thinking about it.

Looking for a way to retreat, the artillery is simply not a creation of the human world. It is like there is a god above the nine heavens. Whenever the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry charges forward, he will rain down iron and fire to kill. How can we fight like this!

"Brothers, raise the shooting angle and fire freely!" the order was passed to the artillery position.

It's cold winter weather, but some of the Zhao's artillerymen are shirtless. The artillery firing shells is emitting heat. The busy work makes people feel hot all over. The sweat soaked their cotton and leather robes, which actually affects their movements. In the artillery position, except for

The smoke filled the air and the heat evaporated from the soldiers' bodies. Everyone was laughing and excited. The artillery made a great and first contribution in this battle!

Inclined wedges were smashed between the cannon body and the gun mount. The muzzle of the gun was raised. The cannons fired one after another. The shells fell among the crowd of Jurchen soldiers and horses in Jianzhou. As for the twelve-pound and sixteen-pound

There is no need for artillery, as their firing range has covered the entire Jianzhou Jurchen military formation.

In the chaotic situation of fleeing, artillery shells continued to fall into the crowd, and each falling of the artillery shell caused greater panic. In the Jianzhou Jurchen concept, the artillery cannot be moved, and the impact point of the artillery shell is approximate.

They were in about the same position, so seeing the bombardment in front, the cavalry behind them were relatively calm. They just held their swords and bows and mercilessly drove away their companions who turned around and fled, so that they could retreat calmly.

No one could have imagined that the Zhao Jiajun's artillery could adjust the firing angle so quickly, and the range was being extended. The iron fire hell in front of them just now actually acted on their own heads, which caused greater chaos. This made the Jianzhou Jurchen Cavalry feel anxious.

The defense completely collapsed, and the calmness of the cavalry rear group was gone. They thought they could not hit them.

Zhao Jiajun's bombardment has completely broken the Jianzhou Jurchen concept. They never knew that the frequency of bombardment could be so high. They never knew that artillery could adjust its range so quickly.

When the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry thought that they would not be bombed, the shells came over. When they felt that the subsequent bombardment would not be so fast, the artillery shells came over. When they felt that they were safe enough, the artillery shells came over.

When the fourth round of artillery sounded, the Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry felt that there was no safe place on the battlefield. The farther away from the enemy's position, the safer the place was. But seeing the artillery fire going further and further away,

The sound of blood and flesh flying everywhere and the screams were getting closer and closer to him.

Artillery bombardment is completely different from face-to-face fighting. Real swords and real guns, flesh and blood, but you can grit your teeth and survive. When the invisible shell hits the ground, people are immediately smashed to pieces, and horses are beaten to twists and even...

Cut off, unable to resist, nothing more than death, no matter how brave he is, his courage and blood will disappear.

There were no more cavalry to rush over, and Zhao Jiajun's array of firecrackers had actually moved forward more than ten steps. Any fish that slipped through the net would be shot by dozens of firecrackers, and they would also be destined to die.

After the shells fired by the three-pounder, six-pounder and nine-pounder guns hit the ground, the people and horses suffered heavy casualties. However, when the shells of the 12-pounder and 16-pounder guns hit the ground, not only was there a shocking splash of earth and rocks, but also people and horses could be seen.
