Chapter 372 Invulnerability?

Hundreds of flying rockets flew out with great momentum!

In order to obtain the maximum range, Guo Shoujing transformed the three-bow bed crossbow, raising the head of the crossbow machine and changing it to direct shot. He first used the elastic force of the bowstring to eject the flying rocket into the sky. After flying to a certain height, the lead of the "booster" was burned out. The gunpowder in the booster was ignited, and the flames were sprayed out, which pushed the flying rocket to accelerate and rise.

The scene of hundreds of such giant fire-breathing arrows flying out at the same time, dragging the thick smoke to rise, is naturally extremely shocking!

At least in the eyes of everyone who witnessed this scene for the first time, the volley of these hundred rockets was almost the same as a miracle.

"Long live!"

The Mongolians and the Mongolian Han army (including Goryeo and Semu) on the battlefield saw these monsters dragging thick smoke flying towards Chen Dexing’s place, and all cheered excitedly!

"The God of Eternal Life blesses the Mongols! Let these flying rockets kill Chen Thief and avenge the Mongol genius Mengge Khan..."

The outer shell of the telescope in Tachaerhan's hand was almost pinched by him, but he was ignorant and just stared at the flying flying rockets, muttering words and muttering, naturally, asking Changshengtian to show his power and let those terrifying flying rockets blow Chen Dexing to pieces!

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, all the Han people and the Eight Banners soldiers raised their hearts to their throats. They all gritted their teeth and watched hundreds of rockets dragging thick smoke fly towards Chen Dexing’s place!

Their king, their god, seemed to have fallen into crisis!

"Congrive Rockets?" Chen Dexing still sat on the horse and muttered softly. Then he waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Don't move!"

Zhu Sijiu had already arrived immediately, as if he wanted to use his body to cover Chen Dexing. He was a little stunned when he heard this. Before he could react, there was a dull explosion sound in the air!

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Only one rocket after another exploded above Xiaojiazhai, turning into huge fireballs, and some burning wreckage dragged white and gray smoke and fell down. For a moment, the Xiaojiazhai, thousands of iron armored knights and sun and moon flags below were all shrouded in the thick fireworks!

Looking at it, Chen Dexing, the dog thief, must have been killed?

"Long live! The God of Eternal Life blesses the Mongols!" The Mongolian generals on the battlefield cheered in unison.

However, the Northern Expedition Army opposite was silent, with wide eyes wide open, looking in disbelief in the direction of Xiaojiazhai...

What happened next surprised everyone. A northwest wind blew away not much smoke and burning wreckage. The sun and moon flags that were held high first came into view, and then thousands of iron-armored knights stood still. It seemed that there was some force in the dark to protect them from being damaged by a terrible weapon like the Flying Rocket!

"How is this possible!" Tachaer was so shocked that he could hardly hold back the telescope. There were so many fireballs and so big smoke, and there was nothing behind him! This... How is this possible!

Guo Shoujing was also shocked. Although he invented the Flying Rocket, he had not tested the power of the explosion several times, nor had he tested the power of the explosion. He just looked at the loudest momentum and thought it was very powerful. Seeing the hundreds of Flying Rockets exploded together just now, the scene was even more lively, but how could the people below be injured?

But now is not the time to study the real power of the Flying Rocket. Guo Shoujing just yelled: "Hurry, hurry up, Zhang Nou, hurry up and get on the Flying Rocket!"

If you miss one blow, then let’s take the second blow. The third blow...

"Long live! Long live the Ming King! Heaven bless the Ming King!"

Mo Yingniang shouted frantically at this time, and she followed Chen Dexing and when the flying rocket flew over, she was a goddess who was not worried at all. She really believed that Chen Dexing was a god!

And now it seems that this judgment is completely correct!

"Long live! Long live the Ming King! Heaven bless the Ming King!"

Chen Dexing's iron armored guards also shouted. A few of them were hit by falling iron nails or something. But no one could meet the standards for injury.

In fact, the landing points of the hundreds of flying rockets were very scattered and there was no accuracy. They were almost scattered in a large area around Xiaojiazhai, most of which exploded in the air. The people below were not within the range of killing.

This thing looks quite powerful from a distance, but its actual power is not worth mentioning at all.

"Master, should you avoid it for a while?" Zhu Sijiu saw the Mongolian general directly in front of him, busy fiddling with the three-bow crossbow, and hurriedly reminded him.

"No need, wait until Yang Po'er comes over before leaving." Chen Dexing said confidently. Now is the time to show off, how can he leave?

While he was speaking, hundreds of flying rockets flew over, but their momentum was still quite strong, and they still had no accurate head. Before the rocket fell, most of them exploded, releasing smoke and flames, and spreading out many iron nails. However, the shell of the bamboo tube was not enough to fully burn the H medicine inside, so naturally they could not create much shock wave to drive these iron nails. These iron nails just fell down powerlessly and could not destroy the iron armor and iron helmets of Chen Dexing's personal guards.

The smoke dissipated, and the people below were still standing intact, as if they were blessed by gods!

"This is the legendary invulnerability!!!" The warriors of the Great Mongolian were heartbroken. It turned out that King Chen Dexing of Ming Dynasty could not be beaten to death, what should I do?

"Long live! Long live the Ming King! Heaven bless the Ming King!"

The cheers on the battlefield were thunderous! Who else would not believe that Chen Dexing was a great immortal? There was a great immortal who was with them, and he was afraid that he would not defeat the Mongols?

At this time, Yang Po'er was already running over panting. Mo Yingniang beside Chen Dexing rode forward and reached out to pull Yang Po'er onto the horse's back. The two of them rode a horse together. Chen Dexing achieved his goal and stopped stopping. He grabbed the horse's belly with his legs and rode his horse away. He took his personal guard and returned to his central army swaggeringly.

...

"Father Khan, can you still fight?" Prince Huotu arrived at Tachaer's central army and asked loudly on the horse's back. In his opinion, the failure of the flying rocket attack just now has made everyone on the battlefield believe that Chen Dexing is a god! In this case, he insisted on fighting and would not win.

A Shulu, who had just returned to Tachaer, also said: "Brother Tachaer, then Chen Dexing is probably a god who has descended to earth. We can't deal with it. Why not take advantage of the army and return the entire army to the grassland first."

"Get out of the whole army?" Tachaer snorted, "It's easy to say. Now the two armies are facing each other, and they have Jurchen cavalry to help them. How can we get out of here?"

Tachaer looked up at Chen Dexing's army and shook his head and said, "Fight! Whether it is a human or a god, this battle must be fought by the warriors!" He waved his hand violently, "Let Hong Fuyuan's Han army go first and capture Xiaojiazhai!"

...

Xiaojiazhai is undoubtedly the key point of the battle between the two sides. Whoever owns Xiaojiazhai can obtain a solid support point. Even if the battle is unfavorable, Xiaojiazhai can temporarily restrain the enemy and win the time to retreat.

Therefore, after seeing the Mongolian Han army approaching Xiaojiazhai, Chen Dexing immediately ordered his infantry to reinforce.

On the wide plain outside Xiaojiazhai, soldiers and armor blocked the fields for a while, and two crowds of people walking forward walked opposite each other under the guidance of their respective military flags.

On the left and right of these two infantry teams, the Eight Banners and the Mongolian cavalry also fought fiercely, and both used all their strength to drive the opponent out of the battlefield, but no one was willing to retreat.

Boom boom boom boom...

The artillery of the Northern Expedition Army opened fire first. Chen Dexing sent an infantry battalion with a half-company artillery (3 cannons). They spent half a night digging and expanding the gate of Xiaojiazhai and transforming it into a simple artillery position. Now they just open fire and bombard the approaching Mongolian Han army. Three iron balls weighing more than eight kilograms were pushed out of the cannon chamber by the thrust of the ignition of gunpowder, and crashed straight into the formation of this mixed Korean and Han troops.

Suddenly, there were three corridors of flesh and blood, penetrated through the human body all the way, and I don’t know how many of them were killed.

The miserable scream suddenly sounded, and then the officer shouted loudly. The Mongolians' supervisor team was staring at it from behind. Now they can only advance, not retreat! Oh, they can only retreat. Because now it is time for artillery battles!

The brass muskets made by Guo Shoujing were also pushed to the front line. Since the bronze cannons of the Northern Expedition Army had never been seized, this brass musket weighing more than 300 kilograms was actually improved by Guo Shoujing based on various original muskets of the Mongolian army. If operated properly, about one kilogram of iron sand cannons can be knocked out to 150 steps, which can kill armorless targets. The power is not much greater than that of a bow and arrow, it is just a terrifying sound.

Moreover, Guo Shoujing did not go to the front line to command. He was just Guo Kan's aide. He was a temporary magistrate of Wanhu on Shenyang Road in Tachaer. He was just appointing him casually and was not a long job. He did not have to go to the front line for this benefit. So he was with Liu Xiaoyuan as an audience in the rear.

Without his command, those who were using artillery were mostly sailors of the Pu family, half merchants and half pirates, and most of them were slick. Of course, they refused to risk the Northern Expedition Army's cannons to get too close. They set up guns and bombarded them four hundred steps away, and they did not dare to install enough medicine. Of course, the casting quality of these copper guns was not up to standard. They exploded a lot during the experiment. Of course, smart people knew to install less medicine to deal with the matter. Although these thirty muskets rumbling, the battlefield was filled with smoke. In fact, they were all fooling around. The iron sand produced could not reach the Northern Expedition Army at all. However, the three bronze cannons of the Northern Expedition Army occasionally made "blood roads" in the Hong family and Han army formation! (To be continued...)
