The car was blown to bits and pieces, and the people who controlled the vehicle were not much better off. They were also hit by the sky thunder. Some of them were lucky enough to be blown into ashes, while those who were unlucky were missing arms and legs.
, still lying on the ground wailing.
At this moment, these people who are still alive suddenly have the idea that it would be great if they could die happily!
War is cruel, and he will not show any mercy to you just because you are a good guy or a bad guy. When the sky is covered by thunder, you should be treated equally and treated as one.
Regardless of whether he is an ordinary soldier, a corps commander, a captain, a centurion or a thousand captain, at this moment, life is equally fragile, and he can be killed by a cannon attack.
"Damn it." His fist fell quickly, and Tang Qingchuan's face became very ugly as he watched this scene.
He thought that the sky thunder of the Great Chinese Army was more powerful than his own, so he just sent two hundred chariots to test it. But he did not expect that the people who went to test it would be wiped out. This was a big blow to him.
His self-confidence also affected the morale of the entire Zhongwang Army.
"The infantry attacked in a dispersed formation. I want to see if their sky mines can be used inexhaustibly." Until there was no better way, Tang Qingchuan could only use his life to fill the gap.
This is something that I have thought about for a long time. Anyway, human life in this era is always the most despised. In many places, even a full meal can be exchanged for one person to become a slave.
The five thousand infantrymen were divided into five scattered formations. While the sound of thunder still echoed between heaven and earth, they began to move forward slowly.
They knew that they would probably never come back, but no one dared to disobey the military order, because at least their family members would receive a pension if they died in battle. Although it was not much, it was better than being a deserter and being killed by one of your own people.
It’s better to have nothing.
The front of Anping County is very wide, so wide that when five thousand soldiers came from afar, it didn't take up much space. Facing all this, Commander Wu Hu chuckled and said: "Okay, let's go to our Second Army to perform.
It’s time.”
"Haha, please excuse me, Commander Wu." Jiang Fenghua smiled and took half a step back, expressing his intention to hand over the battlefield to the Second Field Army.
"Come on, order the crossbowmen of each brigade to get ready. Tell them that this is a rare shooting target in actual combat. Keep your spirits up." Wu Hu's heroic voice came out, and there were soldiers waving command flags.
Start sending messages.
The first of the five trenches is also the most forward one. Su Bubai, commander of the 1st Brigade, is staying here with his sergeants. When he saw the command flag on the tower, Su Bubai laughed and said:
"Okay, when it comes time for us to show off our power, tell the archers to shoot when they are right, and tell the observers to remember everyone's military merits. No more, no less."
The brigade commander issued the military order, especially the laughter that quickly infected the other soldiers. Each archer was gearing up and preparing to show off their skills.
The military merits of the Dahua Army must be publicized and written on big paper for everyone to see. This system is original, but it is this system that makes every soldier feel at ease and does not have to worry.
Someone will take the credit from themselves, which naturally greatly arouses their enthusiasm. Every soldier is eager to make military exploits on the battlefield and to have his name appear on the military merit list. It is best to rank as high as possible.
The front is better.
Under the strong motivation, every archer became very focused and stretched the horn longbow in his hand to the maximum.
As the Firearms Bureau grew stronger, the horn longbow was no longer only equipped by cavalry and elites. Even units such as the Second Field Army got some. Although the number was far from enough for one person, it was only the first armed brigade.
There is still no problem with five thousand archers.
The horn longbow is different from ordinary strong bows in that it has better stability and is fired horizontally and straight instead of being thrown, which greatly increases the accuracy of the bow.
The five thousand soldiers of the King's Loyal Army slowly stepped forward and very cautiously walked through the ruins where the city rushers and catapults had been. When they discovered that no thunderbolts had fallen, many of them felt relieved.
He took a breath, and then began to speed up deliberately, as if he wanted to walk through a dangerous area faster.
"Hahaha, the Great Chinese Army is nothing more than this. It seems that their number of sky thunders is limited." From the rear, seeing the five thousand infantry getting closer and closer to the Great Chinese Army without any thunder, Tang Qingchuan said
He burst out laughing.
This is obviously due to the lack of thunder in the Dahua Army. Otherwise, why did these five thousand infantry advance so smoothly?
Tang Qingchuan did not know that this was simply because the Chinese army did not take the five thousand soldiers into consideration. Thinking about it, on a battlefield of six to seven hundred thousand people, five thousand soldiers were indeed nothing.
Along with Tang Qingchuan's laughter, all the generals below also laughed. When they saw the power of the sky thunder before, they were still worried that if the Great Chinese Army kept fighting them in this way, they might
It will be difficult to capture Anping County in the future. But now, they seem to be relieved.
"Fire arrows!" Before the first trench, Brigadier Su Bubai saw that the loyal king's army had entered the range of the horned bow, and he let out a roar, and the arrows that had been prepared for a long time came forward like rain.
Flying away.
Arrows rained down, as if they were thrown head-on. The loyal king's army at the front fell like wheat. But after all, they had received training. Under the leadership of the corps commander, commander and centurion
Under his leadership, shields quickly stood up in front of him, trying to block the bows and arrows coming from directly ahead.
The shield stood in front of the military formation, and the originally scattered soldiers began to gather together. Only in this way could they be protected by the shield formation. But when they began to gather, the archers on the opposite side seemed to suddenly disappear.
There is no more action.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many wailing voices on the ground, and some people even had no breath, everyone would probably think that they had just hallucinated.
"Not good." Tang Qingchuan, who was under the protection of the Chinese army, looked at this scene and had a bad feeling in his heart. This was clearly the Chinese army deliberately driving their soldiers together for what would happen next.
It would be more convenient to bombard with thunder.
Just as a bad word came out, before Tang Qingchuan could give any orders, the sound of thunder roaring from the sky came out, accurately falling into the shield formation, and then bursts of smoke and dust rose up, followed by
There was a sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. His fists were clenched involuntarily, and then slowly released. Tang Qingchuan knew that this tentative attack had failed again.
The five thousand infantry retreated amid the sound of gold, but less than half of them actually came back, and most of them were injured. Only about 500, or about 10%, were left without any injuries or traces.
In an era when medical conditions were extremely backward, there were only a few wounded soldiers who could truly heal themselves. In particular, these people often wasted a lot of resources in the army before they were injured until death. Such wounded soldiers often made the generals who led the troops very worried.
Headache.
If he encounters a kind-hearted person, he will help him, but ordinary generals will ignore him and let him die on his own. If he is unlucky and encounters a cruel person, the wounded soldier will be killed directly when he returns.
But no matter which outcome it was, only 10% of the 5,000 infantry could be used.
General An Zhiwu, who was in charge of the battlefield command, also saw this scene, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes. The Chinese army was difficult to deal with, and he had been mentally prepared for this, but when he saw the results on the battlefield, he still endured it.
I can't help but feel a little heartache.
"Where is Wang Sheng? Get ready to attack." An Zhiwu said with a serious face and a cold voice while riding on his horse.
"The last general takes orders." Wang Sheng, the captain of 30,000 men, immediately walked out of the battle formation, and then waved his hand. Behind him, the trumpeter who had been preparing for a long time blew a muffled battlefield trumpet.
Following this, rows of loyal soldiers of the King's Army jumped out of the formation. Different from the previous soldiers, some of them did not have any iron weapons in their hands, and they seemed to be holding branches without any killing function.
There were still a lot of leaves on the branches. When they fell to the ground and started to rub against the ground, smoke and dust rose on the ground, and then it got bigger and bigger, until it was overwhelming, greatly obstructing people's sight.
Under the smoke and dust, the 30,000 loyal king's army infantry began to divide into dozens of square formations and stepped forward. They used the smoke and dust to prevent others from seeing their true bodies.
"Are you trying to blind yourself? Humph! Order to fire freely." Changjiang Fenghua of the Second Firearms Brigade looked at the scene in front of him, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.
If the opponent does this, it will indeed make it impossible to find the position of their main force. But so what, if they fire the cannons, the worst thing they can do is waste more thunder. This time, in order to win the battle of Anping County, there will be a steady stream of mines in Daliang City every day.
Send the prepared sky thunder.
Emperor Tang Ao of Great China has said that if the sky thunder can be exchanged for the enemy's life, no matter how you look at it, it is appropriate and worthwhile.
With such an emperor at his head who loved his soldiers as much as his own children and was not afraid of spending money, what else could Jiang Fenghua have to fear as a brigade commander?
After the order was issued, the soldiers of the Second Firearms Brigade in the city became excited. Heavy bronze cannons were stuffed with thunder one after another, and soon there was a roaring sound of explosions.
On the battlefield, the smoke and dust soon became larger due to the whereabouts of the thunder. The eyes of both parties fell here involuntarily. They seemed to be waiting for the final result.
Wang Sheng led the people forward under the protection of Chen Yan. When there was a roar in the sky, he immediately fell to the ground. This chapter has been completed!
