"Shoot~~"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Wang Chang gave an order, and all twenty fire guns emitted sparks, pouring lead bullets full of rage into the Chu army's formation twenty steps away.
Shot at such a close range, the shield could not resist it at all.
A series of sawdust flew, and the high-speed rotating projectiles easily penetrated the shield surface and penetrated into the body of the sword-shielder.
"Uh~"
Before the Chu Army Sword Shield Hands in the front row understood what was happening, they felt a pain in their bodies, followed by severe cramping pain in their bodies, which instantly tore their will into pieces.
One of the swordsmen and shieldmen was hit in the chest by a bullet. The simple cloth armor could not stop the raging lead bullets, which directly entered his body. He grinned in pain, threw away his shield and lay down on his back.
The other sword and shield wielder was even worse. After the projectile broke through the shield protection, it penetrated his lower abdomen in the blink of an eye. The irregular trajectory of the projectile crushed his intestines and he died in pain in the army.
Seeing the blood mist rising from the smoke, Wang Chang showed no mercy and immediately ordered the second group of soldiers to step forward and also pulled the trigger.
Without the protection of the sword and shield hand, the soldiers of the Chu army suddenly became living targets. There was no need to aim at all. Every time the gun was shot, a delicate flower of blood bloomed.
The third round...
Round 4…
Round 5…
In the short distance of twenty steps, the soldiers of the Chu army could not continue to take even half a step closer. Every step they took would cost them blood.
Finally, after the seventh round of volleys of fire cannons, the Chu army's rigorous formation began to become disorganized, and Wang Chang could faintly hear the echo of the enemy's roars and cries on the opposite side.
"Bang bang bang..."
There was another volley, and the spearmen of the Chu army who had just stepped onto the gravel fell down like wheat leaves blown by the wind. Many of them looked frightened and opened their mouths wide to beg for mercy from their companions.
However, these Chu soldiers who were knocked down by the fire guns were quickly overwhelmed by countless pairs of big feet behind them.
"Huh? Still can't be conquered?"
Fa Yang looked at the battlefield ahead from behind and frowned.
Luo Song explained: "The enemy's firearms are sharp. I thought that the trebuchets could suppress them before, but now it seems that we should not break the gap."
Fa Yang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Please pass on the order and be sure to seize the enemy's firearms. These sharp weapons should be used by our country of Chu."
Fa Yang, who had always regarded the technology advocated by Liu Ce as a miraculous skill, had to admit that his vision and structure were still a bit low after seeing the power of the fire gun.
As long as this war ends, we must vigorously develop firearms and strive to play their due role on the battlefield in the future...
As more and more Chu soldiers surrounded the gap, Wang Chang appeared to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact he was in a panic. Once the enemy rushed into the pass, he would be completely defeated.
"Where's the Tiger Zun Cannon? Pull it up!"
Sun Xueyou's roar immediately made Wang Chang react. Yes, there are artillery, so this battle may not be impossible.
"Bring it up, fifteen artillery pieces in groups of five, load them with shotguns, and let me blast that son of a bitch!"
When the Chu army used trebuchets before, Wang Chang removed all the Tiger Cannons placed at the top of the city. Now this decision has to be said to be very wise.
Soon, forty-five non-commissioned officers, working in groups of three, rushed up the rubble slope of the gap with the Tiger Cannon. The non-commissioned officers in front who had just fired their guns immediately stepped back to give these gunners a wide field of vision.
In fact, the smoke produced by the black powder had already confused everyone's sight. Neither the Han army nor the Chu army could see the exact position of their opponents, they could only see roughly.
The five tiger cannons were lined up in a row by the sergeant's door and fixed tightly under the armpits. Two people on the left and right held the barrels steady, and one person at the rear of the gun ignited the goose down to maintain balance at the rear.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Just as another group of Chu soldiers attacked, the Tiger Zun Cannon roared out with endless fury.
The shotgun shells fired from the barrel are fan-shaped, covering all targets in front of them without distinction.
In an instant, a bright red color filled the smoke, and the piercing screams echoed endlessly.
A Chu soldier was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Countless bullets passed through his body. His body was suddenly a bloody mess, and even his own head was beaten into a hornet's nest. It was terrible to see.
Another Chu soldier also suffered a baptism of bad luck. Three shotgun blasts penetrated his chest directly, and even his bone marrow was ejected from his body by the huge impact of the projectiles.
More soldiers were defeated by the raging bullets, falling in pieces like wheat from the autumn harvest.
"Go on, hit me hard!"
At this moment, Wang Chang's eyes turned red, either because of his excitement or because of the smoke. After giving the order again, he directly pushed away a gunner, hugged the Tiger Cannon tightly and aimed at some looming guns not far away. Outline.
"boom--"
A loud noise echoed, and the second round of shotguns was fired again. Before the shocked Chu soldiers had time to react, their precious lives were once again taken away by the speeding projectiles.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Seeing that the casualties were increasing, and knowing that any further fighting would most likely result in a major rout of the Chu army, Fa Yang decisively ordered a halt to the attack.
As the sound of retreating metal banging echoed in the rear, the attacking Chu soldiers rushed to escape from this death zone like a tide.
After experiencing this battle, countless of them will be left with indelible psychological scars.
"We win, sound the horn! We win!"
After seeing the Chu army retreating, Wang Chang couldn't help but roar.
"Ho~~"
In front of Suoyun's barrier, these young warriors suddenly raised their arms and shouted. As the trombone of victory played, the Chinese flag symbolizing victory was erected high again.
…
Looking at the retreating troops, both Fa Yang and Luo Song remained silent.
In this attack, more than 700 people were lost again, not including those who were injured.
Seeing the heart-rending screams of the injured who were still alive after being hit by the fire blunderbuss, Fa Yang was deeply touched.
If a lead bullet enters the body, the person will be disabled even if it is taken out. The lead itself is poisonous. As the blood flows throughout the body, it will cause inflammation of the wound. Chu Jun's current medical conditions and knowledge level cannot handle it. He can only watch it. As they slowly died in pain one by one.
Fa Yang walked around the military camp and looked at the bloody and wailing scenes. For the first time, he felt that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
Perhaps, from the beginning, he should not have assisted Huang Fu and studied the Dharma all his life. Wasn't it just to make the people fear the Dharma and live and work in peace and contentment?
But now, why is it like this?
Looking at the living lives gradually passing away due to his own reasons, Fa Yang felt a trace of inexplicable annoyance in his heart.
Maybe, as Shangguan Yan said, I am too persistent and want to prove myself to the world too much?
Perhaps, like the powerful officials of the previous dynasty, I was greedy for the convenience that power brought.
Maybe……
He stopped thinking about it. After a moment, his eyes returned to determination.
You are not wrong, and you do everything without any selfish motives. Peace in the prosperous age is a road paved with blood. You cannot waver in your determination because of these setbacks in front of you!
He must go on unswervingly, because...
There is no retreat behind him.
