The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1028
Ma Long was puzzled, what use could the Shu army have for launching these vehicles?

If it is an attack, erecting a large wooden plank in front will not have any effect on the van formation. If you really want to attack, it is better to push out the siege carts, which may have some effect.

However, Malone had long been guarded against this move. In front of his van formation, a small ditch was dug that was not too deep. Although it was not difficult for the cavalry to cross this small ditch, Ren Kezhan As far as the car is concerned, it is impossible to get over it easily.

Even to deal with the catapult, the natural enemy of the van, Malone thought of a way, that is to hang wet cowhide in front of the formation to block the flying stones.

As for these dozens of strange chariots, Ma Long really didn't understand their purpose, relying on manpower to propel them would be like a tortoise's speed, it was impossible for these chariots to cross the ditch in front of the van , will not pose any threat to the partial car formation at all.

But the Shu Army didn't seem to launch these chariots for no reason. Their appearance might have hidden murderous intentions. The more Ma Long couldn't figure it out, the more terrifying he felt, and even a sense of ominousness shrouded his heart.

Seeing these chariots getting closer and closer, Ma Long seemed to understand something, his face turned pale, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Quick! Go and block these chariots, don't let them approach!"

But everything seemed to be too late. As soon as Ma Long finished speaking, the chariots of the Shu army approached the Jin army's van only a few dozen steps away, and suddenly some bamboo tubes emitting green smoke flew out.

These bamboo tubes looked inconspicuous, just the knots cut from ordinary bamboo, but when they flew through the air and drew strange smoke trails, Malone felt a chill in his heart.

"It's a firearm! Get out of the way!" Malone yelled.

Many people in the Jin army also knew the power of the Shu army's firearms, and they were horrified when they heard the news, but they had no chance to turn around, and those bamboo tube grenades had already flown towards them.

"Boom!" Like heavy thunder, it sounded on the Jin army's position. Some grenades fell at Jin soldiers' feet, and the violent explosion directly blew Jin soldiers' thighs away, and some grenades flew into the air. It exploded, and the shrapnel flying horizontally caused disasters to all Jin soldiers within a few feet around. Wherever the shrapnel went, they were either killed or injured, and a large piece could fall down in an instant.

The firearm attack of the Shu army happened very suddenly, and the Jin army was caught off guard. A series of explosions completely stunned the Jin army, and they ran around in a mess.

Ma Long was riding on a horse, and was rushed back and forth by Jin soldiers like headless flies, which caused Ma Long to fly into a rage. How much effect it played, the Jin soldiers fled in a hurry, and the formation could still be maintained there.

Although many of the Shu army's grenades fell among the Jin army's crowd, their main attack target was not the Jin army, but the side-car formation in front of the Jin army, so most of the Shu army's firepower Still concentrated on the van.

On top of each chariot are four soldiers from the Firearms Battalion, two of whom are in charge of igniting the fire, and two of whom are in charge of throwing. Throw it thirty or forty steps away.

Although the space on the chariot is not large, it is quite loose to carry four people and place dozens of bamboo tube grenades. There is an observation hole on the front south baffle, which allows the pitcher to see the situation ahead without being in danger. He exposed his head and was attacked by Jin army archers.

These throwers are all well-trained players, and their control over the throwing distance is indeed to the point of absolute accuracy, basically the error will not exceed one or two steps.

The targets of this attack were those bulky vans, which made the pitcher even more handy. The grenades thrown at the Jin army were completely deliberate, so as to cause some confusion for the Jin army, and most of the firepower was aimed at the Jin army. This is the main target of the Shu army.

Although the vans are thick and heavy, they are made of wood after all. In the shock wave generated by the explosion of the grenade, they fell apart in an instant. Wood chips flew all over the sky, and the smoke cleared. It exploded into a pile of rotten wood and became horrible.However, the pitchers of the Firearms Battalion didn't stop shooting, one after another bamboo grenades were still relentlessly thrown over, blasting the vans that had already fallen apart into debris.

At this moment, Ma Long's attention shifted from the chaotic Jin soldiers to the vans. The violent explosions seemed to tell Ma Long that the real targets of the Shu army were those vans.

But at this moment, Malone was helpless. He could only watch helplessly as his hard work turned into a pile of sawdust. His heart was bleeding. All his pride and achievements were wiped out at this moment.

When Ma Long was developing the sidecar, he considered all the weaknesses and improved them, but he inadvertently missed one point, that is, the gunpowder of the Shu army, and it was the gunpowder weapon that made Ma Long's sidecar debut. It was the final swan song, and turned all Malone's dreams into ashes.

Luo Xian, who was watching the battle from a distance, laughed loudly, and said: "Brine tofu, one thing drops one thing, I didn't expect this indestructible van to turn into a pile of rotten wood so quickly in front of the firearms. All the troops obey orders, attack at will, and step down the border bridge!"

What the Jin army relied on were the sidecars, and now the formation of the sidecars was in pieces, and the [-] Jin army infantry alone could not withstand the [-] cavalry of the Shu army, so at this time Luo Xian ordered He gave the order to attack at will, which means that the cavalry of the Shu army can no longer arrange any formations and battle formations, allowing the cavalry to gallop freely and fight as they want.

This is a common method of warfare used by the Hu cavalry, and it is more unrestrained. For the cavalry of the Shu army who pay attention to tactical battle formations, it is basically rarely used, but it doesn't matter now. Without the protection of the van, the [-] Jin troops It's just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and it has no power to fight back under the impact of the cavalry of the Shu army. The free attack at this time can even arouse the fighting spirit of the Shu army, and the one-sided killing often makes people more excited.

After yesterday's suppressed battle, the cavalry of the Shu army broke out completely at this moment, riding thousands of horses, roaring, and launched a sharp attack on the infantry formation of the Jin army. An off-string arrow flew towards the Jin army's position. Under the powerful impact of the Shu army cavalry, the Jin army's team was completely fragmented and disintegrated.
