So, on the morning of April 19, the 17th year of Jinglong, accompanied by the doubts and confusion of the Beiting people and the traitors, the Xin'an army raised their guns at the enemy troops on the city wall!
At this time, the Xin'an Army was about 350 meters away from the city wall. At this distance, except for crossbows and trebuchets, the enemy had no weapons that could effectively kill the Xin'an Army.
The Xin'an Army's raised guns and tiger squatting cannons can cause effective damage to the enemy. Lu Xu's tactic is to use the raised gun firepower to suppress the enemy troops on the city wall, and then use the tiger squatting cannon to open the city gate.
But the enemies on the city wall didn't know what Lu Xu was doing? They saw the Xin'an Army raising the big pole against them. Many people had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Some brave people believed based on common sense that it was impossible for the Xin'an Army to attack them from such a distance, so they boldly lay on the top of the city and looked outside.
Seeing that his side was almost ready, Lu Xu raised his arm and shouted: "Light the fire!"
The gun bearers immediately took out the fire sticks and lit the fire on the gun bearers. This scene made the enemies on the tower quite confused.
But in the next moment, except for the Xin'an Army, the minds of all creatures on the battlefield were stagnant for two seconds.
Bang bang bang!
Continuous gunshots rang out at almost the same time, converging into thunderous explosions on the battlefield.
The enemies on top of the city didn't even understand what was going on. Bullets took away a large number of lives.
After a short silence, someone shouted: "Run!"
The rebels on the city immediately exploded!
People are always accustomed to using things they are familiar with to explain things they have not seen or do not understand.
For example, now, when they heard a sound like thunder and saw their companions being hit by an invisible attack.
When many people were hit, they were also knocked away by the huge impact. All of this made them resound the idiom "Thunder from flat ground".
They all subconsciously felt that Lu Xu and the Xin'an Army had a way to summon invisible thunder when the sky was clear and daylight.
Faced with this force that was beyond human power, everyone felt great fear. They instinctively wanted to leave here and stay away from their fear.
However......
Before they could even take two steps, they were greeted by the sharp light of a sword!
The people in Beiting have long known that Lu Xu has the ability to summon thunder. Do they even know how powerful this ability is on the battlefield?
So they had long expected that the rebels would collapse under such an unheard-of attack. So they had arranged their own supervising teams on each wall of the city wall early.
As long as someone wants to escape before the battle, they will definitely run into the Beiting Supervisory Team waiting on every road they must pass.
It should be said that these Beiting soldiers who were supervising the battle team were actually frightened by the "sky thunder" just now. However, Beiting's cruel culture made them carry out the orders of the nobles even in extreme fear.
Not to mention, they are just asking the people of Daliang to face the sky thunder. This does not require much courage on their part. And the most important thing is that after seeing the power of the sky thunder, they really don’t want to face such a thunder directly.
Terrible weapon!
As long as these Daliang people are still there, they don't have to be sent to "fight the thunder with their bodies" by the noble masters. If these Daliang people run away, then they can only be sent to the battlefield.
So when these people saw the Daliang people trying to run away, they immediately recovered from their shock and fear. They were not merciful at all.
"Ah!~~~~"
As waves of screams rang out, the fleeing rebels were forced to stabilize their formation by the Beiting people.
At this time, the city walls of Qinzhou Mansion were in chaos. And the situation outside the city was not much better!
Lu Xu saw a war horse galloping from a distance, dragging a Beiting man behind the horse.
The Beiting man was obviously sent by King Youxian to find out information about "Tian Lei". And this unlucky guy obviously underestimated the power of Tian Lei, so he was not too far away from the battlefield.
When the horse under his crotch heard the roar of the firearm, it was frightened. The frightened horse quickly broke away from the knight's control and knocked him to the ground.
I wonder what the war horse was thinking?
Perhaps, the war horse also knows that "the best way to overcome fear is to face it"? Or, the war horse wants to eliminate the thing that scares him?
Of course, it's also possible that the war horse has no idea at all. It just keeps its head down and runs in one direction?
In short, after the war horse was frightened, it dragged its knight and rushed towards Lu Xu's military formation.
At first, the unlucky knight wanted to struggle and make one last effort for his life.
If this was a grassland, maybe the knight could hold on for a while longer. But this is Qinzhou Prefecture! It is a mountainous and rocky area!
Even though this is near Qinzhou Prefecture, the terrain is relatively flat and there are not that many rocks. But there are also a lot of rocks on the road!
The already unlucky knight was dragged by the horse for a short time before his head hit a larger rock, and then... nothing happened.
On Lu Xu's side, watching the war horse rushing towards him, he just waved his hand, and several archers fired a volley, killing the war horse.
Except for this unlucky guy, the other Beiting people hiding in the distance were not much better. All of their horses were frightened, and most of them were knocked to the ground by their horses. Only a few of them could barely survive.
Control the horse.
But even those who controlled the horses looked at the location of the Xin'an Army with horrified faces.
No matter how bold and skilled the Beiting people are, they have to admit that this new equipment developed by Lu Xu is a huge threat to the Beiting people.
It can even be said that the more skilled people are in fighting, the more afraid they are of the Xin'an Army at this time. Because the more skilled people are in fighting, the more they understand that this kind of weapon that can make war horses go crazy in an instant is very harmful to them.
How big of a threat is the court?
At this time, Lu Xu had already raised his hand and shouted: "Team 1, retreat!"
"Second team, enter!"
Since he wanted to play with firearms, it was natural for Lu Xu to use multi-stage shooting tactics.
However, this tactic has not been fully formed in Lu Xu. A very real question is, should Lu Xu use three-stage shooting? Or five-stage shooting?
An interesting phenomenon is that when military strategists, whether Eastern or Western, face weapons such as crossbows and muskets that are powerful but time-consuming to load.
They all invariably invented the multi-stage shooting style, and almost all of them chose to focus on the three-stage shooting.
