1097, the rate of fire that caused the rebels to collapse
Dong Jishu said: "If they run fast enough, they can rush under the car before the second shot."
Dong Jishu is also a veteran. He clearly knows the artillery firing interval and the infantry impact speed.
Before he finished speaking, the dense artillery fired again.
Because it was free fire, these artillery pieces were aimed at the target respectively. Therefore, the firing was not as orderly as the first round. Each gun fired after determining the target. At this time, the entire car camp was firing continuously from all sides.
Zhao Dianming was dumbfounded. He ran about a hundred meters away. Why was there fire on the other side?
This time they had no luck. An 18-pound artillery shell grazed the wheel on the right side. The entire shield vehicle was instantly smashed to pieces on the right side. Zhao Dianming didn't even let out a scream and turned into a mist of blood.
.The entire carriage shaft on the right and the ten soldiers pushing the cart were run over by spherical solid bullets like skewers of candied haws.
A piece of flesh and blood flew everywhere, and all ten people were shattered. Human body parts were flying all over the sky. After the entire car was shattered on the right side, the remaining parts flew upwards, and then fell upside down to the ground.
Hu Youlu was knocked to the ground by half a carriage, blood kept pouring out of his mouth, and his vision gradually blurred. There was darkness in front of him. His bones were broken in large areas.
The heavy artillery shells roared one after another, with a sharp whistle like red-hot iron bars stabbing into butter, and once again smashed three to four hundred flesh-and-blood passages in the dense cluster of rebels on all sides.
Under the attack of spherical solid bullets, no one knows where is safe. Because except for the long-awaited person killed at the beginning, it will ricochet immediately after landing. As for how high and far it will fly after ricocheting.
, where it lands is entirely random.
No one can predict it. It's possible that if there are stones on the ground, they will fly sideways. If there is a quagmire on the ground, the water will drift and fly sideways against the ground, and it is possible that the lower limbs of the soldiers facing them will be separated from the torso.
As for these ricochet bombs, it is unreasonable to completely lose their kinetic energy after jumping a few times.
If you see that the cannonball seems to be motionless, and you reach out to touch it, or block it with your legs, your arms and legs will definitely fly away from your body. The kinetic energy of the high-speed rotating shot put is still scary.
The rebels charging from all sides began to wail, especially the infantry at the back.
Hu Erbao was almost scared to death just now. He watched helplessly as a cannonball overturned the shield truck in front of him, and then smashed seven or eight people into pieces flying in all directions. He saw it hit him right in front of his eyes. His heart was frightened.
Almost out of his mind.
Just when he thought he would turn into a bloody mist soon, the cannonball landed on the ground, jumped up, and flew away a foot away in front of his eyes.
He twisted his neck in horror. He saw the black cannonball drawing an arc and crashing down again. The infantrymen behind screamed and made an uproar in horror. Everyone was afraid of falling on their head. Then,
Another limb flew up from behind.
Huang Dengyuan and others who were standing on the high slope commanding felt numb all over. Although the performance of these copper-haired cannons was not as good as the three red cannons in their hands, the range was also far behind. However, these artillery still had
Heavy artillery, and its power is terrifying within a mile.
In such a short period of time, a second artillery fire was actually fired. They saw it clearly. This was definitely not that some of the previous artillery had not fired. They were left to fire now. Rather, all the previous artillery fire had been fired. These two times
The artillery that fires is reloaded.
This kind of heavy artillery can be loaded in just a few breaths. I am not dreaming.
Now, their soldiers have been surrounded on all sides and are rushing forward. Although their red cannons can suppress them based on their range, they cannot fire. The people in front of them are all their own people.
However, the price has been paid at this time. I can only bite the bullet and rush forward to fight hand-to-hand.
If you retreat out of fear of casualties, the previous casualties will be in vain.
At this time, Wang Kun's face was as pale as paper. He was pampered in Prince Xin's Mansion and the Palace. When had he ever experienced such a scene? He had read several military books and was just talking about military affairs on paper. He boasted about strange things with his colleagues and friends, and gave advice on the country, as if
The famous generals of ancient and modern times are nothing more than this.
Today he stood here, looking at the bloody battlefield, and he really knew what a battlefield was. Here, the living lives were just numbers without any meaning. In the rounds of shelling, or
Turn into blood mist, or become scattered parts.
He could hardly bear to look at the tragic sight of being hit by artillery.
It turns out that if a person is cut with a knife, he or she will bleed and die. If a cannonball hits a shield car, it will explode into pieces all over the sky. The route of the rebel charge truly explains what it means to be devastated.
A stream of heat left his thigh, and an unpleasant smell wafted away.
He was ashamed, and glanced at the other two people uneasily from the corner of his eyes. He was afraid of being ridiculed and discriminated against by them.
However, the eyes of the two men were always on the battlefield outside. One was observing the enemy's situation with a single-tube copper telescope, and the other was looking around with a Type 64 telescope. No one paid attention to his situation.
This made him feel a little more at ease, but an unnoticed anger filled him again.
"After this battle, I should write to Your Majesty that the car camp needs to be equipped with a batch of long-range red cannons. Today, because the artillery range is not enough, we can only be beaten passively, which is a huge loss." Zhou Yuji said.
Huang Hao nodded and said: "These are the elite soldiers trained by the master. If they were used as frontier soldiers, they would have been defeated by the red cannon for an hour."
Zhou Yuji took a deep breath and said: "In the past year, the intensity of training has dropped, and the treatment has also dropped a lot. The officers' morale has increased. This battle is compared with that on the grassland, whether it is reaction speed, fighting will, or cooperation.
, have all declined.”
He knew in his heart that the soul of this army was given by Uncle Dingyuan. Without Uncle Dingyuan, this army began to degenerate. He has been leading this army from the beginning of its establishment. He has great influence on the car camp.
Every soldier knows everything.
If he hadn't been there all along and commanding this army, I'm afraid the current battle would have been greatly compromised.
Huang Hao put down the telescope and said: "There is still a chance to fire two cannons, so we can put up the steel city wall. After a while, the rebels will arrive at the bottom of the city and they will have to fight hand to hand."
Zhou Yuji looked at the Type 64 telescope hanging around Huang Hao's neck with some envy. He was not a slave of Uncle Dingyuan, so he only got a long telescopic copper single-tube telescope. He couldn't put it down. He thought it was a telescope.
Military weapon.
However, after he saw Huang Hao's telescope, he immediately became jealous. Unfortunately, he no longer had the position or opportunity to obtain it.
