Steel Dynasty - Chapter 358
[Chapter 358 Shells are flying]
smoke fills the air, and there are bursts of killing sounds.
Three thousand cavalry swept everything like a torrent of steel.
At this time, Stone War and the musketeers came out of the city together, and quickly used the gap created by the cavalry to build a vehicle array defense.
At the same time, the musketeers began to shoot at the defending barbarians from behind Stone’s chariot to cover Lu Fei’s cavalry.
He rushed straight to the barbarian artillery position. Facing the fifty barbarian artillery pieces, Lu Fei immediately shouted: “Nail the artillery pieces to me!”
Under his order, some cavalry immediately dismounted and rushed to the artillery, taking out their iron guns. The nail was stuffed into the matchlock hole of the barbarian cannon, and the iron nail was smashed into the fuse hole with the handle of the knife.
Because of the sudden attack by the Qingzhou Army, Ximen’s cavalry had just reacted, and they immediately rushed towards Lu Fei.
There are more than 10,000 cavalrymen in full force.
“Hahaha… Come on, you savage dogs!” Lu Fei laughed.
At this time, all the cavalrymen who came down were on their horses, and Lu Fei immediately led the cavalry back.
At this time, the chariot formation was completed. As they retreated backwards, the chariot soldiers opened the chains, and they hid back in the formation.
The barbarian cavalry who followed them saw only a piece of white smoke floating up, and then their sky began to rotate and gradually turned black.
In front of the battle formation composed of Stone chariots, the barbarian cavalry instantly lost their advantage and were constantly killed by the artillerymen and muskets of the Qingzhou Army.
In just a short time, the barbarian cavalry that rushed over suffered heavy casualties.
Facing this fortress battle formation with copper walls and iron walls, they finally thought of artillery, but when they arrived at the artillery position, they found that all the detonation holes of the artillery were unusable.
“Wow…” A barbarian man jumped angrily, “Damn Qingzhou Army, hurry up and bring the other artillery, I must kill them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that he was hiding. In the battle formation, the musketeers rushed out of the car formation and appeared in front.
The chariot soldiers harnessed their horses, and the entire chariot formation continued to move forward, moving the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army while shooting.
The bull rush in the car commanded the movement of the car array in an orderly manner.
This is the power of the car formation he and Xiao Ming invented. The car formation can protect the musketeers, and the musketeers can also protect the car formation when it moves.
“Charge! Charge!”
Seeing the Qingzhou Army attacking all the way to the west, the barbarian generals were in great panic. At that time, if Beishantaiji’s silver account was broken, it would mean a great shame.
Like the military flag of Dayu, the Silver Horde is also a symbol of the Golden Horde.
The slave soldiers continued to charge into the formation under the urging of the barbarian cavalry.
However, the Qingzhou Army’s rounds of musket fire were like cutting leeks. These slave soldiers did not have the speed of cavalry, nor did they have high-quality armor. They rushed into the formation several times and were completely suicidal.
Moreover, the weapons of the Qingzhou Army frightened them, and soon the slave soldiers were no longer willing to charge into the battle.
“Continue to attack forward!” Niu Ben gave the order. They were going to attack Huanglong and completely disrupt the barbarian’s arrangement.
He saw Luo Quan’s flag. The frontal battlefield was very harsh at this time. If the barbarians could not be plunged into chaos in time, the Jinwu Guards would be in serious danger.
Therefore, he did not dare to stay but ordered the Qingzhou Army to quickly attack westward.
Barbarian silver account.
Beishan soon got the news that the Qingzhou Army rushed out from the west gate.
His expression changed drastically. He concluded that the Qingzhou Military Council and the Jinwu Guards should cooperate with the outside to fight out from the north gate, so he arranged the serious illness at the north gate.
At this time, the west gate was breached but was only three miles away from his barbarian tent. At this time, the Qingzhou army was as strong as a broken bamboo, as if they were entering an uninhabited country.
“Assholes, you losers!”
He was supervising the battle in the north of the city. At this time, the barbarian camp was empty of troops. If the Qingzhou Army seized the silver tent and destroyed the camp, it would mean cutting off their food and grass supplies.
More importantly, the barbarian silver tent symbolizes his status in the Golden Horde. The Golden Horde attaches great importance to honor. The shame of having the silver tent taken away will never give him any chance to ascend to the position of Khan.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but panic and shouted: “Chagatai, follow me and stop them.”
Chagatai, who was about to attack the Jinwu Guards, immediately rushed towards the Qingzhou Army with 20,000 cavalry. At the same time, the slave soldiers pushed the artillery and moved towards the west gate at the same time.
Seeing the movements of the Qingzhou Army on the hot air balloon, Luo Quan was filled with enthusiasm.
This time it was worthwhile for him to fight the barbarians head-on. In his eyes, the Qingzhou Army led by Niu Ben sometimes stopped to shoot at the charging cavalry, and sometimes the infantry and chariots cooperated to rush forward quickly, getting closer and closer to Beishan’s silver tent. close.
“Beat the war drum!” Luo Quan shouted, and the 20,000 barbarian cavalry withdrew. He finally saw the hope of victory.
The flag bearer immediately waved the flag.
“Dong dong…” The sound of war drums suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.
Hearing this voice, the soldiers of Jinwu Guard formed a confident formation, which meant that they now had an advantage, and they couldn’t help but become more and more brave.
The moment the barbarian cavalry rushed over, a sword and shield bearer jumped up and rushed towards the cavalry on horseback, and the two rolled into a ball.
Other places were full of fighting soldiers and barbarian soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom.
At Ximen, Niu Ben felt more and more resistance as he advanced forward to attack. The barbarian cavalry rushed over like crazy, not wanting their lives at all.
They had to constantly stop and arrange vehicle formations to eliminate the surrounding barbarian soldiers before they could continue to move forward.
“General, the artillery at the north gate has moved this way, and there are also 20,000 barbarian cavalry.” The flagman, who had been responsible for observing the flags on the hot air balloon, said at this time.
Nodding, he said to Luo Xin, “Whether the barbarians’ artillery or our artillery is more powerful depends on this battle.”
“I still believe in our Highness.” Smiling, Luo Xin immediately ordered the artillery to be transferred to north.
Facing the desperate charge of the barbarian cavalry in front, Niu Ben had no choice but to defend on the spot.
After a stick of incense, suddenly the barbarian cavalry in the north moved out of the way. At this time, they saw the barbarian artillery aiming at the car formation.
“Boom…”
The barbarians’ artillery fired at the vehicle array instantly, and at the same time, Luo Xin’s artillery also began to fire back.
“Boom…” A cannonball hit the chariot, and the entire chariot rolled over in a circle.
The Qingzhou artillery was safe and sound in the gap between the tanks, but the barbarian artillery was not so lucky, because there was no cover, and the entire barbarian artillery was exposed to Luo Xin’s artillery.
“Let go!” Luo Xin roared angrily.
“Boom…” The shells sprayed from the artillery instantly covered the barbarian artillery.
The barbarian artilleryman who had finished a round of shooting and was about to reload was immediately thrown into chaos when he was shelled.
The gunners of the Qingzhou Army have been trained far longer than the barbarians, and the installation of sights allows them to attack the opponent accurately.
The barbarian artillery shells were flying randomly just now. Although the firepower was not weak, it was not targeted.
Now being suppressed by the Qingzhou Army, they were suddenly unable to fight back.
Disrupting the loading of the barbarian artillery, the Qingzhou Army artillery immediately reloaded and fired continuously at the barbarian artillery.
After another round of shooting, seeing that the barbarian artillery was unable to fight back, Luo Xin directed the artilleryman to aim at the barbarian cavalry rushing to the rescue.
“Boom boom…”
Fifty artillery pieces fired in unison, and the shells penetrated the barbarian cavalry one by one like skewers of candied haws on the battlefield.
After one of the cannonballs hit the last cavalryman, the barbarian cavalryman flew up and crashed straight into Beishan, who had just arrived to take command.
“Beishantaiji!” Chagatai was shocked.
