However, no matter how huge the damage is, it cannot completely wipe out all the opponent's cavalry in two rounds of volleys. According to Qi Zhen's instant judgment, the enemy's loss of troops at this moment will exceed five points of the total number of cavalry. one.
This is still ideal.
It's not that the power of artillery has declined. Whether it's in terms of the number of artillery or the neatness of the artillery positions, these soldiers have done their best.
Because it is slow enough, and being slow means that the possibility of mistakes has been minimized.
In fact, there is only one reason why the two salvoes did not cause the ideal damage.
The opponent's cavalry is too fast!
So much so that as soon as the second round of artillery fired, the cavalry vanguard was only a hundred steps away from our side!
No one knew the cavalry better than Qin Feng. The speed and discipline displayed by the other party made him feel awe-inspiring.
"This cavalry army is very strong." Qin Feng said suddenly.
"How strong?" Wang Jianguo asked doubtfully.
"At least better than me."
Qin Feng looked at the enemy getting closer and closer and said in a deep voice.
There are few cavalry troops in the world who can maintain such a charging speed and complete formation after being blown away by countless artillery shells.
Even Qin Feng found it difficult.
And Qin Feng knew that there were only two cavalry generals in the world who had such ability.
One of them is called Lu Bu, and as for the other...
"The Five Tiger Generals are well-deserved." Qi Zhen's voice sounded faintly, "Instruct all ministries to raise their shields and prepare."
drink!
With a uniform and shocking roar, the shields of the front row infantry were heavily hammered on the soft ground. The knuckles holding the shields were slightly white. They were ready for a head-on confrontation with the opposing cavalry!
Ninety steps, eighty steps, seventy steps.
Time seemed to become extremely long at this moment. Qi Zhen squinted his eyes, and he could even see the murderous intent spreading on the face of the brave general.
No rush, wait a moment, wait a moment.
Qi Zhen thought silently in her heart.
Sixty steps, fifty steps.
At this moment, Qi Zhen's eyes suddenly flashed and she shouted: "Let's go!"
hiss!
The dense hissing sounds sounded like snakes rising in Yuemeng Mountain, or like thousands of bundles of fireworks being lit at the same time.
Yes, that was the sound of the fuse.
The charging cavalrymen charged forward with resolute faces, but they saw countless small hammers with strange shapes suddenly thrown out from the enemy formation, spinning towards them.
Some of these "hammers" fell next to him, and some simply hit him and his horses.
It hurts a bit, but even if these small hammers are as dense as a rain of arrows, the enemy is not trying to kill people with this thing, right?
Their doubts only lasted for a moment, and the explosion instantly drowned their thoughts.
Boom boom boom!
Explosions continued to sound, and the charging cavalry was instantly blown into the sky.
Because the explosions were so dense, almost all the cavalry charging on the front line were not spared.
The scattered shrapnel and explosive air waves instantly tore the cavalry into pieces!
If the two rounds of artillery bombardment just now caused the cavalry formation to fall on their backs, then the explosions that are almost continuous and endless can be said to be devastating!
"Too bad for the horse."
"Isn't this thing better than that half-baked rifle?"
The two sentences sounded in no particular order. The first sentence was Qin Feng's sigh, and the second sentence was Wang Jianguo's emotion.
Grenade.
Qi Zhen and Wang Jianguo had never imagined before that the arsenal not only produced guns and cannons, but also made such things!
However, it makes sense to think about it. Even things like mortars have been invented by Lin Biao. Isn’t it easy to make some hand grenades?
What made them awe-inspiring was that Lin Biao actually took out this thing at this time!
The power of a grenade is limited, and there are so many grenades that are so densely packed that it is shocking.
There was no suspense at all. The area thirty or fifty steps away from the frontline shield soldiers turned into a sea of hellfire.
The dense explosions continued to sound, and the soldiers in the back row were still throwing almost inexhaustible grenades in this direction.
The scattered mud and smoke from the explosion instantly obscured everyone's sight. Apart from the sound of the explosion, only the neighing of war horses and the screams of the enemy were heard.
Not even one out of ten!
The distance between the two sides was too close and the cavalry's speed was too fast. No cavalry could react and evade in this situation.
Even evasion is useless, there are too many grenades.
Ten does not save one, after all, there is still one.
Even if the grenade is powerful enough, there will always be survivors who can pass through the sea of fire and come to the front of the battle.
However, what awaited them was not only the giant shield and the long spear, but also the rifle that had been waiting for a long time.
Bang bang bang bang.
Along with the crisp sounds one after another, clouds of blue smoke rose up. The cavalry who managed to escape from the death zone did not escape the baptism of bullets.
From the beginning of the charge of fifty thousand cavalry, after three rounds of warm reception with artillery, grenades, and rifles, only a few hundred people were left in front of the formation.
And here, there are 150,000 troops in full formation, waiting for their arrival.
The leading cavalry commander did not wait for a fair battle, and did not even have a chance to challenge the enemy general. He was killed by a grenade on the spot, and his death was extremely painful.
The last enemy was wiped out, and with the unexpected power of the grenade, the attacking side completely wiped out the opponent with almost no damage.
That's fifty thousand cavalry!
Qi Zhen and the others stepped forward and felt a little strange in their hearts when they looked at the general on the ground who should have been famous among the Three Kingdoms but now did not even have a name.
"The Liangzhou cavalry army is the best in the world. I am not joking." Qi Zhen said slowly, "You, Lu Bu, and he are all from Xiliang. Strictly speaking, I He has some connection with his father. His father should have died at the hands of Huo Zhi or Chu Shan. It must be because of this that he was won over by Liu Bei. After the Eighteenth Route Princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Lin Biao sent people to After regaining the two states of Yongliang, I was wondering why I didn’t hear any news about him, as I didn’t expect that he would come here.”
The identity of this person was already revealed when Qi Zhen named the Five Tiger Generals.
Ma Chao, his father is Ma Teng who succeeded Dong Zhuo as the governor of Liangzhou.
"If the nine military towns are all configured like this, then Liu Bei does have the ability to conquer the world." Wang Jianguo sighed with emotion. "Report! The enemy's other two military towns have also left their camps and are approaching us!"
"Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan will not wait for our shells to fall. Be prepared to meet the enemy." Upon hearing the soldiers coming to report, Qi Zhen said calmly without any surprise on her face.
That's right, while Qi Zhen was concentrating on dealing with Ma Chao's cavalry, the other two military towns took advantage of this opportunity to quietly advance out of camp. At this time, they were less than two miles away from them.
However, it is obvious that the enemy general did not expect that the 50,000 cavalry troops would be defeated so completely and so quickly.
How come 50,000 people died in the blink of an eye?
Qi Zhen guessed that the opponent originally wanted Ma Chao's cavalry to disrupt the army's formation with extremely rapid force, which could even affect the firing of the artillery, and then let the infantry quickly press on, turning it into a hand-to-hand battle in an instant. In this way, even if Qi Zhen's army and Their battle loss ratio was as high as one for two, and the defender still won this war.
However, they never thought of the existence of weapons like grenades.
But as the saying goes, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. It is too late to retreat at this time. Even if they don't know what is happening on the battlefield ahead, they must bite the bullet and charge.
Inaccurate judgment of the battlefield situation will make a war develop in the completely opposite direction.
This point has the most perfect interpretation at this moment.
It's just that the enemy's general is obviously not stupid. Infantry cannot advance like cavalry. They must charge in groups to ensure the greatest impact. In order to prevent our own sergeants from being completely destroyed by artillery bombardment in a group, the two military towns are not only in relative positions. Extremely far away, and the positions where the sergeants stood were also extremely scattered.
Generally speaking, they are attacking from the two wings of the 150,000-strong army.
This is to prepare for a three-pronged advance with the cavalry in the center.
The dispersion of personnel is not a reason to prevent artillery from firing.
As the roar of the artillery sounded again, the power of the thermal weapon exploded, explaining what a dimensionality reduction strike was with practical actions.
There are artillery strikes in the distance, and rifles and grenades nearby.
As long as there is no problem with the ammunition supply, these 150,000 people will be invincible.
Qi Zhen and Wang Jianguo had never asked Lin Biao about the production capacity of the arsenal. Regarding the consumption expectations and transportation of artillery shells, even Qi Zhen chose to trust Lin Biao unconditionally.
This battle between the two sides was much longer than before.
The main reason is that the enemy's offensive force arrangement is not the same as before, but a steady stream.
This resulted in the leading troops already approaching the front of the 150,000-strong army, while the following soldiers might still be lingering outside the enemy's military town.
Not clenching your fists has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about being beaten by artillery. The disadvantage is that this kind of attack has completely turned into a fueling tactic, and it is almost difficult to pose any substantial threat to the two wings of the army.
Fighting until the sunset, this meaningless war of attrition continues.
It seems that they knew that this war would determine the ownership of the world, whether it was for the sake of meritorious service, psychological loyalty to Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, or simply out of systematic design.
In short, these soldiers seemed to rush towards the army in waves tirelessly, not caring that they would become corpses on the ground the next moment.
This time, the rifle's ammunition will be consumed even more.
