Chapter 961

Heaven and earth form a line, the lower part is green grassland, and the upper part is blue sky and white clouds.

After the firearm troops waded across the river, they made a queue adjustment at the beach. Rectangular rifle line arrays were formed in a short time, and then became a large line array of horizontal lines, moving forward slowly.

Li Tan watched the arrival of the firearm troops on the right wing.

Just proceeding from reality, they can drive the enemy away and intercept the enemy in this half bend river beach area, which itself represents that they are fully capable of annihilation.

"The big man needs to know the actual combat ability of the rifle line array." Li Tan is not unhappy with this place. He can lead the enemy to encircle it. He has proved his talent: "many people are waiting for the result."

The rest of the soldiers were not so happy. It took them nearly three months to fight with the grassland coalition forces, repeatedly pushing hundreds of miles north. It was not easy for them to surround an enemy. As a result, they were attacked and ripe peaches were to be picked?

Whether willing or excluded, military orders must be observed.

In silence, the Han Army on the left and right wings watched the grassland coalition send cavalry to the south to try to break through, and watched the rifle soldiers forming a long horizontal line advance steadily. One will have an idea. There is no lack of people waiting to see friendly jokes.

"The frontier army, the standing army and the junjishan Colonel's headquarters have been busy for several months to see today's scene."

"What we can solve in a rush, we have to give it to others."

"I'd like to see how powerful that firearm is!"

"Watch."

As the grassland coalition forces trying to break through to the South approached the rifle line, the angry soldiers could no longer bear it, and gossip spread.

The riflemen line advancing steadily stopped amid the sound of military orders and slogans.

"Get ready to shoot!"

The riflemen at the front of the line array began to charge and load ammunition.

Gunpowder is quantitatively packaged by paper. It only needs to tear the package and put it into the gun chamber. It is no longer necessary to rely on experience to measure the amount of gunpowder loaded as before. If more gunpowder is loaded, it will explode the chamber and less power is loaded.

After loading the powder, the rifleman put the lead bullet into the gun chamber and then pushed it back and forth with a general strip.

After the loading action was completed, the riflemen in the first line of the array did not immediately aim. They stood quietly in place and waited for the next order, just like the last two rows of paoze in the same line of the array.

"It looks complicated." Julian was not the first time to see a musket, but he had never seen the process of charging and ammunition: "are they waiting for the enemy to approach?"

"It is said that the longest range of the Han Army's rifle is more than 300 Han meters." Flavis looked at the grassland coalition cavalry who kept galloping: "look at the process of loading just now, the average is about 30 Han seconds. The cavalry impact of 300 Han meters is only about 20 Han seconds?"

"The shooting speed is slower than the archers, but the range has an advantage." Julian said in a speculative tone: "they can only have one round of volley at most. Is there a hand to hand fight behind?"

Not only the Romans are speculating, but people from other countries are talking. Most people are not optimistic about the confrontation between the Chinese riflemen and the grassland cavalry. They believe that the Chinese riflemen can only shoot one round at most based on the charging speed of the cavalry.

The artillery behind the riflemen array only had 20 guns ready to fire, and the rest did not move.

The caliber of the 20 guns in the ready firing state is not large, all of which are 75 mm.

In each undulating voice, the artillery finished the action of loading and loading, and adjusted the angle of the muzzle and the direction of the muzzle in a burst of passwords.

"A thousand meters!"

"Nine hundred meters!"

"... six hundred meters!"

"Five hundred meters!"

Twenty guns arranged in a horizontal straight line, one of which is arranged for calibration. It is Fuzed and ignited in the action of the gunner waving the red flag.

The short fuse soon burned into the gun chamber, the propellant inside the gun burst with the dull sound, and the shell was blasted out by a huge force.

The shell roared in the air, broke the air and rolled and fired. It also had a burning fuse in the process of flying. When it almost lost its kinetic energy, the fuse also guided the core of the shell. A dull sound exploded in the air about five meters away from the ground, and countless iron beads fired around from the explosion center.

From the perspective of the periphery, at the moment when the shell exploded, the grassland cavalry within seven or eight meters below suddenly appeared one blood hole after another. The huge body of the war horse under the seat was hit more by iron beads. Even people and horses died in an instant, and people fell on their backs and horses all at once.

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

The rhythmic sound of guns was one after another. Every time the bronze gun fired, the ground would vibrate.

For the fired bronze gun, their gun body vibrates under a thrust. The setting of the base is that under the thrust, the two wheels roll backward to remove the recoil, and the gunner resets the bronze gun.

The continuous explosion sound appeared again on the head of the grassland cavalry on the way to charge, showing the picture of gunpowder burning and sparks splashing, and the gorgeous fatal flying of iron beads.

At that moment, more than one person issued a "hiss!!!" When they saw the gorgeous and bloody scene, they couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.

The grassland cavalry in the artillery range died when they died, and those who did not die lost their ability to think.

The undead grassland cavalry simply let the horses under their seats make their own decisions in a dizzy state. Some of the frightened horses were standing on their hooves, and more of them ran around in panic. The scene was completely chaotic.

"This, this, this..." kjayas turned around and found himself lying on the grass, but his head became an unnatural angle and looked at the absolute miserable situation ahead for the grassland cavalry: "such terror!"

Keshias was not the only crooked nut that fell to the ground. There were also a large number of people lying or kneeling around him. In addition to being absent-minded, each face was full of shock and distortion.

Some of them did not see the shelling scene for the first time. Although the shelling scene of the A3 continent was huge and powerful, it was also like a volcanic eruption. At present, the shelling movement seen was not as big as that of the A3 continent, but what they saw was different blood and terror.

The better the eyesight, the more they can know the power of shelling. Just imagine the environment in which iron beads are scattered around the body. Everywhere on the body begins to feel pain, and the internal organs will also produce an illusion of vibration.

"It's impossible to guard against..." gambisis was pale: "there's nothing to guard against."

The arrow rain in the sky is terrible enough. The density of the iron beads fired after the explosion is much higher than that of the arrow rain. Looking at the penetration of the human body or horse shot by the iron beads, it can be expected that the shield can't resist at all. Everyone can't help trembling at the thought of that kind of attack for the Han Empire and the enemy sooner or later.

As the grassland cavalry charging in the front line, they were lucky not to be within the range of shelling, but everyone turned his head and stared at the rear, subconsciously trying to escape the battlefield.

"First row ready!"

The grassland cavalry charging on the front line have entered a range of 180 meters close to the rifle line.

"Shoot!!!"

The "snap" sound of fried beans sounded. The riflemen who used smokeless gunpowder did not fall into the fog. After shooting, the riflemen had no time to see the results. They stepped back from the shooting position according to their usual training.

The riflemen who fill the firing position forward, when they do the aiming action, they see that the enemy in front is swept down.

"Ready!"

The riflemen who saw the miserable situation of the enemy, whether they were nervous or not, found that they could sweep down the enemy at such a distance, and their mentality immediately stabilized.

"Shoot!!!"

There was another explosion of fried beans. After shooting, the riflemen turned and stepped on their legs, sideways missed the robe that filled the shooting position forward, and began to clean the barrel.

Two volleys were fired, 240 meters away and nearly 80 or 90 meters away. Only a few grassland cavalry within the shooting range stayed in place unharmed. Even if they were not shot on the spot, the rest became blood people lying on the ground wailing.

Only the scattered grassland cavalry remained, and there was no need for the third volley.

The riflemen entered a brief trimming posture, and the Rangers arranged on the flanks were sent out to deal with the standing grassland cavalry.

"Good!" Li Tan's eyes were full of pure light: "I have lived up to the general's expectations!"

The shelling with special ammunition was amazing. At least seven or eight hundred of the two or three thousand grassland cavalry fell under the shelling, and the rest of the grassland cavalry were scared out of control. The next war became an expected thing.

Riflemen formed a linear array to shoot at the same time. The scene made the general who pursued order feel pleasing to the eye no matter from which aspect.

A salvo, because it is far away, can more clearly observe the war results. It is a kind of dense fire with dense bullets sweeping and people don't know how to hide within the shooting range.

"Isn't it just disintegrating the enemy's charge..."

"Just, that is... We can make the enemy's corpses everywhere if we set up an arrow array."

"Yes, yes. The arrow array won't lose to their volley at all. The scene is even more spectacular."

"Even if you don't arrange an arrow array, the cavalry can easily solve the enemy by rushing each other."

The Han Army on the left and right wings kept talking, and all kinds of people in their mouths didn't admit it, but whoever saw it was either weird or convinced.

They know they can do it, but they will never be as clean as the firearm army. At the same time, it is absolutely difficult for the firearm army to eliminate the two or three thousand enemy cavalry in a charging posture without casualties.

"Well, I'm curious, pure curiosity. How can I enter the firearm army through selection?"

"Yes, I'm also curious. But which brother knows?"

"I like that burning stick very much. I'm also very good in a new military uniform!"

Moving closer to the strong is the commonness of intelligent creatures, and becoming a member of the strong is the idea that people yearn for.

The standing army can only be selected after repeated selection. It is not that there are cultural courses every few days in the state of war. It is only to see an amazing display. People with more flexible minds immediately understand the good and bad.

"Bastards, since they are experimental in nature, as long as they perform well, they will certainly be gradually promoted and listed."

"Our department is elite. Once we decide to change equipment, it must be faster than other troops. What's the hurry?"

"Ha, ha... That's to be reported. We worked very hard to surround the enemy. The credit is great. We must give priority to changing clothes."

From disdain to shock and envy, it was a change of thought in a very short time.

If the appearance of the firearm force is not so amazing, they will still resent that their credit has been robbed and wait to see the performance of the firearm force. Although they are still dissatisfied, they mostly want to join them.

Li Tan can also roughly find out what kind of mental journey his troops have gone through. He wants to give the firearm troops more opportunities to perform and orders: "let them advance all the way."

The firearm troops were temporarily planned to the shogunate sequence of the general of the northern expedition, and the orders from Li Tan naturally had to be executed.

The movement on this side was heard by the other grassland coalition forces, but it was difficult to see the whole picture at a distance.

The firearm troops continued to advance in a linear formation and met several grassland cavalry who took the initiative along the way.

When the number of enemy troops was small, the firearm troops did not carry out large-scale shelling, only fired one or two guns to intimidate the enemy horses.

Riflemen are riflemen firing demonstrations based on the number of enemy troops and several linear arrays of riflemen. They demonstrate the single row firing of linear array, three-stage round firing, linear array cross fire volley... And so on.

"The enemy's war horses have not been specially trained. When they hear the explosion, they rarely get out of control." Li Tan saw clearly that the shelling had a very serious impact on the enemy's war horses: "our war horses are only Rangers belonging to the firearm army who have been specially trained. It seems that it is an inevitable trend that the trained war horses will not be frightened by the gunfire in the future."

On the battlefield, the firearm troops have been pushed within five miles of the enemy, the horizontal direction of the linear column of the riflemen has changed again and again, and the bronze guns have begun to be deployed with different calibres and ranges.

"The firearm force doesn't seem to be suitable for a too open battlefield?" Chi Ying refers to that once the enemy's horses are no longer frightened by the explosion: "at the shooting speed of riflemen, they have no more than three chances to fire."

Li Tan thought for a moment and nodded in recognition. He began to think about how to deal with the charge of cavalry when he was commanding the riflemen himself.

Before every war, there must be a special peace on the battlefield.

The current battlefield is in that period of tranquility. What breaks the situation is the military orders that are constantly yelled out. Riflemen form a linear array and move forward again.

The artillery who entered the waiting state, they have completed the action of loading and ammunition. With the order of firing, they made a special roar on the battlefield
