Chapter 2625 The power of the heavy artillery of the guizi scroll, who can match (2)
The fierce impact crazily tore apart the shield formation that had just had time to make up.
Because of this round of distance adjustment, the three shells almost went straight into the shield formation, and only completed a rebound on the ground before inserting into the shield formation.
Like a raging bull, it instantly tore apart a perfect flat line shield formation, and then rushed into the formation fiercely and stirred it up, completely disrupting the formation.
Amidst the wailing, the shield array became incomplete again, and the **** corpses and stumps scattered all over the ground, looking so horrifying.
Encountered two rounds of such blows in a row, which completely interrupted the rhythmic progress of the entire shield formation, and the entire formation was a little restless for a while.
The key is that there is no way to prevent and resist it. It is a competition of luck to carry it abruptly like this. Who can bear the feeling like a knife hanging on the neck?
Should they continue to advance, or change their formation and spread out?
Obviously, such a dense formation is most conducive to the opponent's head-on bombardment, and anyone who is a little smarter can realize that the Zhou army does not seem to have many such heavy artillery.
If the first round of shooting was a test shot and to measure the distance and angle, then the second round of shooting still only had three shots, which seemed inconceivable. There was only one result, that is, the opponent only had three heavy artillery pieces.
Although the two bursts of shelling did cause a lot of confusion to the entire advancing shield formation, the mere three heavy cannons were still not enough to shake the entire formation.
Although the large shield array with more than one hundred wooden shields horizontally was blown down a few gaps, it was quickly made up for by subsequent supplements. Sajia stabbed his heart and did not change his strategy at the same time. He still followed the existing plan advance.
"Pan Laosan, what the **** are you doing? Concentrate your firepower, take aim, follow Hu Er's shelling, and use them to blast the opening to hit the **** first, and you will count on what you hit..."
Tao Dasheng was already a little angry. He saw that two rounds of shelling opened the gap, but they were quickly filled by the tenacious Jurchens. The gap in the middle was only a few breaths of time, but if the firecrackers can join in, they will definitely be able to use this to fill the gap. When in chaos, give the opponent a blow to increase the opponent's wound loss.
Pan Laosan snorted coldly, "Why panic, if you want to shoot, you have to shoot accurately and hurt, Hu Er, this round of shooting should be concentrated, so that we can take advantage of the fire!"
The third round of artillery fire arrived as scheduled.
For the Donghai Jurchen soldiers in the first row, they had no choice. They could only carry their big shields, lower their heads, and speed up their pace, praying in their hearts that the cannonball would not hit them. After all, they were in the first row. There are still hundreds of large shields on the line, and the possibility of being hit is very small, only the possibility of being in the middle is higher.
Three cannonballs were fired, and once again blasted an uneven gap in the middle and east of the entire shield formation. This time, before the shield formations on both sides could make up for it, three hundred gunners had already gathered in place and divided into three groups. Continuous shooting.
Hundreds of crackling crackles sounded one after another, which is completely different from the muffled sound of long-barreled cannons. The smoke is more pungent, but it also causes greater damage.
The entire gap was hit by three consecutive rounds of shots from the frontal camp during the short period of being blasted open.
The Jurchen soldiers of the East China Sea who had lost the protection of their large shields were only covered by the thin leather shields and wooden shields in their hands. Facing the oncoming firecrackers shooting, such intensive blows would directly kill the soldiers behind the gap where there was no way to hide. Knock them all down.
If it is said that the three rounds of shelling may actually cause casualties of about a hundred soldiers, but the casualties caused by this week's military gunfire using this short gap period are more than two hundred.
Too dense formation can certainly reduce the strike area, but once the shield is lost, the loss caused by this dense shooting is also quite huge.
Sajia couldn't help clenching his fists. Although he knew that sacrifices were inevitable in war, he lost more than 300 people within a hundred steps like this. These are the most elite and strongest Donghai Jurchen Warriors, everyone can hunt tigers and kill bears, but they are so weak and powerless in the face of Zhou Jun's firearms.
It's just that he is also powerless to change this situation. The current plan is to bite the bullet and rush forward, get as close to the enemy as possible, and start hand-to-hand combat. This is what the Donghai Warriors are best at.
"Hurry up, speed up, rush over! They only have three cannons, and they have to rest for half a day for one shot, rush up!"
"Don't stop, keep up, hold your shield up, don't show your body!"
The roaring sound was constantly recalled in the formation of the Jurchen Army in the East China Sea. The guards kept urging the soldiers to speed up and move forward. As a result, some fluctuations in the already chaotic formation would inevitably begin to occur, especially as they got closer to the camp. The bigger the gap between the shield arrays.
From the third round of shooting, the gunfire army was divided into three parts. One part still pursued the gap opened by the shelling to maximize the damage, while the other part began to disperse and attack those positions that exposed gaps and gaps due to the chaotic formation. , and some of them have already moved out of position, ready to continue to attack after the attack of the tiger squatting cannon.
After enduring a total of five rounds of bombardment, the Donghai Jurchen army finally approached within 80 steps.
Hu Erhan, who had never dared to command the Sajia assassination, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
In his opinion, Sajia's command was remarkable. He did not lose his position due to the bombardment, and continued to adhere to the attack formation with the shield formation as the core. At the same time, it also confirmed his own judgment, that is the most important There are not many troops stationed in the camp, that is, about 1,000 people, and at most no more than 1,500 people. Sajiaba and the others can take it down without their own help.
He has rushed within a hundred paces, and Zhou Jun's cannons are only a few, and the power of the firecrackers is greatly limited under the protection of the large shield. It will be a melee fight soon, and it is the turn of the Donghai Jurchen group to show their power up.
"Sajiaba, now we will see if your warriors can make a contribution with one blow." Hu Erhan showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Although the Zhou army is not good at melee combat, they will still hold back stubbornly relying on the fence of the camp, so we must If we want to take it all at once, their main force is still behind. During this period, there are still many small camps that need to be eradicated one by one. We must hurry up,..."
Before Hu Erhan finished speaking, there was another muffled sound different from long-barreled heavy artillery firing from a distance, and this muffled sound was more like the roar of dozens of cannons.
Both Hu Erhan and Sajiala were taken aback, subconsciously looking forward again.
I only saw a burst of gray-white smoke rising from the small high ground in the distance. At a glance, I knew it was the smoke released after the gunpowder was fired. The dull sound of the long-barreled gun was different, more like a mixture of the two.
Sajiala was still a little confused, but Hu Erhan was shocked, could it be that kind of small cannon?
Hu Erhan, Zhou Jun’s tiger-squatting cannon, has also seen it, but the Liaodong Army’s firearms in Jianzhou are not too many. Even if there are, they are mainly firearms. The Gyeonggi military-industrial complex transported to Liaodong mainly ordinary firecrackers, and there were not many self-generated firecrackers. There were also tiger squatting cannons, but the same quantity was very small, and the quality of the early tiger squatting cannons was not stable. Still, the projectiles fired are far inferior to the Tiger Crouch Cannon that was finalized after several rounds of improvements.
But after all, Hu Erhan had seen tiger crouching cannons before, and knew that this kind of small cannon was very powerful in close-range foot combat duels, but he had always thought that such a camp would definitely not place the artillery team here.
Because it is obvious that such a camp cannot stop our own army. Once it falls, its firearms may all be seized by our own side, so Jianzhou can completely imitate these firearms.
But I didn't expect Zhou Jun to be so bold that he not only placed long-barreled heavy artillery here to bombard his own camp unscrupulously, but also just listened to a burst of explosions, at least thirty or fifty tiger squatting cannons would do the same The sound of momentum.
Hu Erhan guessed right.
The bombardment of the long-barreled cannon kept tearing apart the formation of the Donghai Jurchen who continued to move forward. Although the damage caused was not small, for the Donghai Jurchen who invested 3,000 people at one time, the loss of three to five hundred people is acceptable. Yes, even more, as long as the victory is in sight, the shock and restlessness brought about by these casualties can be suppressed.
But when dozens of tiger squatting cannons roared and erupted, the tragedy that Donghai Jurchen encountered made people's blood rush.
The tiger crouching guns arranged in a spindle shape occupy the best position of the entire small highland, slightly higher than the flat ground on the entire front, which is actually only barely a gentle slope.
But even so, after all, it is so much higher than the surrounding area.
Dozens of tiger squatting guns have been deployed here early on. Only a few of them have been slightly adjusted for the convenience of placing long-barreled heavy guns, but this does not affect the performance of the entire artillery array.
This height of less than one foot is a hundred steps away, maybe nothing can be seen, but when the distance is only a few dozen steps, this condescending advantage can be revealed.
Especially this kind of tiger squatting gun itself fires dense shotgun shells. It is not good at direct shooting. It is more suitable for slight pouring or projectile. It is especially powerful against the surging infantry formation.
Neither the long-barreled cannon nor the blunderbuss could stop the Donghai Jurchen warriors from advancing quickly, but after a roar, when the Tiger Crouching Cannon fired the first round of salvo, the entire Donghai Jurchen's attack front was almost completely stunned. Immediately it was smashed.
