I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 341

Just when the Xixia war horses were about to charge and Zhao Xi waved a flag on the podium, the advancing chariot stopped, and the following wheel guns quickly interspersed between the chariots.

On the other hand, the new army behind them accelerated their march, boarded the chariots in an orderly row, and quickly pulled them onto the chariots. Facing the Xixia people, there was a half-person-high barrier on the side of the chariots. .

The chariot is very large, but only three gunpowder launchers are installed, which is to reserve space for the new army.

The new army mainly uses muskets, even if it is a flintlock gun, it still cannot fire continuously. This is doomed, the new army must be built to fight.

On each chariot, there is at least one new army commanded, and they are still lined up in five rows.

"Elevation 25, launch!"

When he yelled this, the Xixia people's horses had already charged up.That is to say, in the space of the chariot, if it is outside, no one can hear it at all, and all the ears are filled with the sound of horseshoes.

The horses raised dust, accompanied by the shouts of the Xixia people... To be honest, Zhao Xi had to admit at this time that the momentum of the cavalry was really fierce in this era.

At this moment, Zhao Xi's heartbeat was almost in tune with the sound of horseshoes.

Tens of thousands of war horses galloped forward, but behind the horse team, there was nothing to be seen, and the central camp of the Xixia people was also covered by the dust.

The whole area, with a radius of more than ten miles, was covered by the dust of the war horse... This is the power of the war horse.

Zhao Xi looked at Di Qing under the podium... He should not be calm at this time, although Zhao Xi didn't see Di Qing's trembling hand holding Ma Qian, and his face was covered by his mask, but Zhao Xi knew that , Di Qing was excited at this moment.

Di Qing is a person who belongs to the battlefield.

"Bang... bang bang bang... bang bang bang bang bang..."

The Xixia people charged on three sides, and similarly, the gunpowder launchers forming a circle with three gaps were also fired at the same time.

Sure enough, the Xixia warhorses got used to the gunpowder bombs, but only a little. When the gunpowder bombs exploded among the horses, the war horses were still confused...

It's just that, as soon as the gunpowder stopped, the Xixia people could quickly control the horse... It's a pity that this requires another charge.

At the same time, as long as there are war horses around the explosion of every gunpowder bomb, they will definitely be injured or even killed.

Seeing this, Zhao Xi already knew that this battle was won, at least the main battlefield was won.

The next step is to see how many Xixia people can be wiped out and how many Xixia people can be left behind.

Speaking of which, with such dense chariots and dense firing of gunpowder shells, it should be possible to annihilate the Xixia people in a few rounds.

It's just... this is a gunpowder bullet of black powder, and the shock wave is not big.The point is that when the Xixia cavalry charged, the distance between the horses and the horses was very large, even so large that a gunpowder bomb could explode in the air without hurting any horses.

The reason why Zhao Xi was sure of winning this battle was that the gunpowder bullets hindered the cavalry's charge, which weakened the power and speed of the horse's charge, which bought time for the wheel cannon and the next round of gunpowder bullets.

"Wheel Cannon Free Fire!"

The reason why Zhao Xi didn't give the order to shoot horizontally was that the Xixia people's horse team was already in disarray at this time, and they were no longer charging in a uniform manner.

The one before the test still maintained the speed of the last charge, and the one at the back had just controlled the horse.

The wheel cannons in different positions faced different herds of Xixia warhorses. This was no longer the time to shoot in unison.

"At the same time, issue a free fire order directly to the Musketeers!"

In the war at this time, it is really not possible to issue unified combat orders.

Just one round of gunpowder shells had already disrupted the entire Xixia offensive formation, and at the same time caused the entire encirclement to no longer be able to unify their fighting behavior.

Forget it, Zhao Xi was speechless seeing this situation.

Therefore, they simply issued their own orders to shoot freely.

Fortunately, he had considered this possibility before the battle... The basis is that the Western Xia warhorse will be startled by the gunpowder.

Although the war horse was not startled, it became the situation after the startled horse.

Forget it, in such a situation, as long as the Xixia people are prevented from rushing through the tank defense line, the battle can basically be won.

After issuing these two orders, Zhao Xi suddenly felt that he was free, and had a feeling of suddenly having nothing to do.

In the past two months, he has never had a moment of idleness in his mind, constantly deducing this war on the sand table, and even put himself in the shoes of the Xixia people to consider the countermeasures.

It seems that I really think a little too much.

Zhao Xi had already seen the result of the start of the battle. After all, he had deduced too many possibilities, but it turned out to be the smoothest start... It's boring, white nervous.

At this moment, he wanted to laugh at the cold sweat on his back...

"Zhongzheng, make tea!"

At this time, on this podium, watching tens of thousands of 10,000+ big battles, if I make a pot of tea... don't you feel like talking and laughing?

In fact, Zhao Xi really felt dry in his throat.Just now my mind was on the battlefield, I didn't feel it yet, now I know the result, but my throat feels a little uncomfortable.

Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian quickly set up a few low stools, then brought out the small red clay stove, put a few pine cones, and slowly lit the fire...

Who has the spirit of His Royal Highness?On the battlefield, I still appraised tea calmly.

After the tea was brewed, the gunpowder bombs below had been fired for three rounds, the wheel guns had been fired for two rounds, and even the muskets of the new army had already fired.

I have to say that the Xixia people are strong, even so, there are still cavalry who rushed to a distance of 30 meters from the chariot.

But Zhao Xi was not worried, even if the Xixia people rushed to the side of the chariot, he would feel despair.

Not to mention the bayonet in front of the musket, even if the Xixia people hacked it, it would not damage the chariot at all. Even if it was hit with a mace, it would at most dent a certain part of the chariot.

Seeing the certainty of victory, Zhao Xi's assessment of the war became clearer and clearer.

Winning, no surprises.

"What?"

Zhao Xi saw that Wang Zhong was smiling at himself with his back hunched over, and even Li Xian looked the same, so he couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness... little... little..."

"Want to join the battle?"

"Ok!"

Nod fiercely.

They are responsible for the safety of His Royal Highness, and there are five hundred veterans of the guard battalion guarding the podium.

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince like this, one knew that it was impossible for the Xixia people to break through the line of the chariot, so the mind became a little wild.

"Go..."

After letting the two idiots go, Zhao Xi called Han Jiang, Lu Gongbi and the others to come over and drink tea together.

The few of them are fine, and the reason why they came to the battlefield is nothing more than empathy with His Royal Highness, unlike the teachings of the guard battalion, who have to record the battle situation at all times to prepare for the final report of this battle.

Probably because of Zhao Xi's influence, the originally tense atmosphere on the podium suddenly relaxed. These civil servants who were stunned by the horses seemed to be deaf to all kinds of sounds on the battlefield at this moment.
