My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 153 Volley
There was a shrill sound and sparks flew.

A ball of shotgun wrapped in oil paper was spurted out of the muzzle by the powerful kinetic energy of gunpowder, forming a black storm in the air.

The Mongolian cavalry charged forward, but were hit head-on when the shotguns were fired.They fell one by one during the charge as if they were blocked by an invisible wall.

These projectiles hit the Mongolian cavalry ranks like raindrops. The Mongolian cavalry who were wearing armor and running like arrows on the battlefield were suddenly knocked to the ground. After being hit, they all turned into bloody rags.

The brutal firepower brought a devastating blow, and the cavalry at the front were torn to pieces by those bullets as big as thumbs.

When the hit cavalry fell to the ground, many of their bodies drew a bloody arc in the air, and finally fell to the ground in pieces.

However, there was only one chance for the artillery battalion to fire. When the artillery battalion finished firing, the remaining Mongolian cavalry also rushed to a distance of more than 100 steps from the artillery battalion position.

At this time, the eyes of the commander were red. In the three rounds of artillery fire just now, his thousand-man team lost at least [-]% of the troops. If his people were not all elites of the Zhungeer tribe, they would have lost their troops. It collapsed.

"Charge up and kill those Nanman!"

At this time, the captain had unknowingly rushed to the front of the team. He was waving a machete with a ferocious expression and a bloodthirsty smile.

Because the distance was very close at this time, he could even see the frightened and desperate expressions of the Daxia Army gunners in front.

A distance of more than 100 steps only takes five or six seconds for the cavalry who has already started sprinting.

As long as he could rush to the artillery camp, he would be sure to kill all the Nanman artillerymen.

"Immortal God...Kill..."

"Beep beep..."

As soon as the commander finished speaking, he heard a sharp voice in front of him that echoed through the sky.
He even knew that the Daxia people called this whistle a swan whistle.

A burly Qianhu official with a red face like Guan Gong pointed his sword in front and shouted hoarsely with all his strength: "Shoot!"

A deafening volley of muskets sounded. The fifty musketeers squatting on one knee in the front row of the phalanx, and the fifty musketeers standing in the second row behind them opened fire at the same time. A row of scorching flames erupted from the Flashed in front of the phalanx, and thick smoke rose at the same time.

With the loud noise of muskets, the cavalry rushing in front fell immediately. Even if they deliberately spread out, but they rushed too close and the crowd was dense, 40 or [-] people were knocked to the ground.

The captain who rushed at the front also became the focus of the musketeers.

Amidst the deafening gunfire, this warrior, who was also famous for his bravery in the Zhungeer tribe, flew up from his horse like a little man kicked by a giant, and his whole body stagnated in mid-air. Two seconds later, he fell heavily to the ground.

As soon as he spat out a mouthful of blood, two heavy horse hooves stepped heavily on him, suppressing his voice before he could say it.

A famous warrior from the Jungar tribe died on the battlefield without any struggle.

In fact, he was not the only one who died silently. Many Mongolian cavalrymen also had clouds of blood mist coming out of their bodies at the same time. Even if they were shot and fell off their horses, even if they were lucky enough not to be stepped on by the cavalry behind them, they all screamed and rolled down. On the ground.

These days' muskets use lead bullets. Although the soft projectiles do not have much penetrating power, their destructive power becomes stronger. After the Mongolian cavalry were penetrated by lead bullets, all their internal organs were destroyed. Damn it, even if the gods came, it would be difficult to save such an injury.Even some cavalrymen stood in front with round shields, trying to protect themselves.

However, the powerful impact of the projectiles will not completely disappear. As long as they are hit by the projectiles, all the force will be borne by their bodies. Even if the projectiles cannot penetrate the lead bullets, the powerful impact will knock the cavalry off their horses.

You don’t have to watch this kind of scene, you just need to think about what it feels like to fall off a war horse at a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour to understand how painful it is for the person who fell off the horse.

Many Mongolian cavalrymen who were shot down from their horses vomited blood clots at the mouth and fell to the ground one by one rolling around. The huge pain made them groan loudly. It was difficult for these people to survive.

In fact, this scene didn't just happen in front of the artillery camp.

Jia Yu, who was controlling the drone, could clearly see on the screen that a heavily armored Mongolian cavalry fell from his horse. Judging from the heavy armor on his body, this man must be a leader among the Mongols. A very famous warrior.

However, the machete in the warrior's right hand is missing.

He covered the right side of his chest, where blood was constantly pouring out. He was still holding a large shield in his left hand, but he could not fall. He stumbled forward, with a look of confusion on his face, as if he couldn't believe it. What's happening before my eyes.

But as the gunfire sounded again, he was hit by several projectiles and fell backwards. This time he really fell down and died.

What Jia Yu didn't know was that the man who was killed was the most valiant captain under Qinggeltai.

But the identity of this person is no longer important, because the captain has turned into a corpse, lying quietly in the wilderness.

After the first volley of guns, the charging Mongolian cavalry suddenly stopped like a tide hitting a rock.

Many cavalrymen behind were stunned for a moment. Although they knew that Daxia's firearms were very powerful when they encountered the musket phalanx for the first time, they still couldn't believe that these muskets were so powerful when it happened to them.

However, due to their extremely vicious nature and the inertia of the charge, even when they saw their fallen companions screaming and rolling on the ground in front of them, they still rushed over with red eyes, riding horses and shouting.

At this time, the bows and arrows in the hands of the Mongolian cavalry also began to show their power.

The Mongolian cavalry used traditional horn bows, which were generally made of animal bones and wood. The arrows they used were triangular and flat, with cylindrical collars, which had strong penetrating power.

At this time, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to sixty or seventy steps. The Mongolian cavalry had already held their horned bows in their hands. After bending their bows and setting arrows, accompanied by bursts of roars, arrows were also directed towards The phalanx shot away.

It has to be said that the arrows fired by the Mongolian cavalry were also accurate and fast. The rain of arrows immediately caused more than ten casualties to the musketeers in the square formation.

The Mongolian cavalry did not shoot randomly. They used the cover of the cavalry in the middle to shoot arrows at the phalanx from both sides.

Therefore, most of the people hit by arrows in this wave were musketeers on both sides of the phalanx. A musketeer in the right corner had just been hit by an arrow in the chest, and then also hit an arrow in the corner of the right eye.

He screamed when he was hit by an arrow and fell backwards to the ground.
