Not only the generals, but also the soldiers below were frightened by this shot at first, but when they saw that there was no confusion or inappropriateness in the line ahead, these people also let go of their courage, so that they shouted When the word "Jin" was used as the slogan, the voice was much louder and the speed was much faster.
"Sure enough, it's made of pure iron. It's amazing!" Tiance, who fired a shot, retracted the [-]th Form, and then shook his head. Although his expression was a little disappointed, he didn't have any fear at all.Obviously, this result was already in his expectation.
The teams of both sides are still approaching rapidly, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters
As they approached step by step, the two teams could already clearly see each other's lineup, and a tense atmosphere began to permeate, and the emotions of war and shouting for killing were also rapidly condensing, focusing on
150 meters 130 meters 100 meters
At such a distance, when the two sides could already see each other's figure and appearance, the archers of the Cochin Army hiding behind the iron shields also made preparations to open their bows and draw arrows.
There are a total of two thousand archers. It can be imagined that if they are not stopped, the next scene will be a scene of bows and arrows raining down from the sky.
"Comrades, hurry up to 30 meters, drop bombs, and shoot." Watching the opponent's every move, watching the opponent's every move, the company commander Tiance, who had always been lazy, seemed to be a different person. Suddenly roared, and then took the lead and rushed forward.
What Tiance did also drove the soldiers around him to run out one by one.A cold front company and another auxiliary barracks, with a total of 500 people, flew forward like an arrow from the string.
For fighters who have to run 25 kilometers a day during routine training, the distance of 30 meters is directly sprinted, and it only takes a few seconds. They rushed over the required distance, and then five hundred grenades fell like It was thrown forward like rain.
The flying speed of the grenade is much farther than before under the 30-meter running. Basically, each grenade is thrown at a distance of more than 60 meters. With such superposition, the distance of [-] meters is reached in an instant. .
The Cochin Army hadn't fully reacted yet, including the two thousand archers, they had just set up their bows, and before they could release their arrows, the grenades from the sky fell on their heads. .
"What the hell is this?"
Instinctively, many Jiaozhi soldiers had such doubts in their hearts.But just when the thoughts in their minds were formed, the grenades that were thrown had already exploded above their heads, around their sides and under their feet.
"boom boom"
Earthquakes, shrapnel flying
Flames rising, smoke lingering
Accompanied by all kinds of sudden changes, the formation of the thousand Iron Shieldmen walking in front of the Cochin Army finally loosened.
These iron shieldmen were originally holding heavy shields, and after walking for nearly three miles, they were already very tired. Suddenly, the loud noise around them and the air waves, mainly the attack of various fragments, made the unsuspecting They were stunned at this moment.
They just wanted to guard against the muskets in front of them, and never thought that such powerful explosives would suddenly explode around them.
The Iron Shield soldiers, who seemed to be the most closely guarded, were the first to break up, and the two thousand archers standing in the second row behind them also became confused.
The advantage of archers is that they can kill enemies from a long distance.But the same disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, once the protective barrier is lost, the chest will be completely exposed in front of the opponent, so that there is no defensiveness at all.
Not to mention, the bursts of grenades exploded right on top of their heads, and an unknown number of archers were killed, injured, and maimed by the tremendous power of the grenades.
After one row of iron shield soldiers and two rows of archers were routed, the entire camp of Cochin soldiers also began to mess up. Surrounded by explosions and fireworks, they didn't even know what to do next.
The Jiaozhi soldiers were beaten dumbfounded, and the formation appeared chaotic.The mercenaries didn't mess around, they started shooting with their guns after throwing out the grenade.
With 500 people facing [-] enemies, there is no need to aim at all. You only need to adjust the ninety-five style and the eight-one bar to a state of bursts, and just sweep away.
“Da da da da da”
Bullets spewed out of the muzzle continuously, pouring towards the opposite Cochin army.Every time after a burst of hot shots from the machine guns, groups of Cochin soldiers fell to the ground. They didn't understand the situation at all, and they didn't know what happened, so many people fell to the ground with unclear emotions. And died, and some Cochin soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by bullets fled back.
When people encounter danger, they will have an instinct, which is to turn around and run away.Unless there is something more terrifying behind him, otherwise, this kind of running will continue until he can't run anymore.
Chapter 5 and Seven Cochin-to-Cochin
The first moment was terrifying.There is nothing more pitiful than a group of panic-stricken defeated soldiers.They are scrambling to retreat.They shouted and ran, and many fell down.These Cochin soldiers who were shot didn't know what they were doing, they just instinctively retreated towards the wide open city gate behind them.
General Ruan Gengwang was in the middle army, and he saw farther than ordinary people on horseback, so he naturally knew what happened at that moment just now.
The sudden explosion of the grenade was beyond his expectation.Seeing a large number of iron shield soldiers fell to the ground, he felt bad.It's just that before he issued the military order, the entire army was in chaos.
"Hold me, charge up, they have fewer numbers than us, as long as they charge up, we will win." Shouting, he cut the saber in his hand at the retreating soldiers, he wanted to pass This way to suspend the retreat of the army.
But under the fear of death, how many people will listen to his words?How many people can hear it?How many people will listen to it and take it to heart?
The retreating crowd was unstoppable, even if Ruan Gengwang had killed four or five retreating Jiaozhi soldiers in a row, he still couldn't recover from the great defeat.
Not only that, but Ruan Gengwang, who repeatedly swung his sword, became the target of Tiance.
Riding on a horse, standing above everyone else, was originally a general's privilege, but at the same time it will inevitably become a prominent target in the eyes of others.Tiance set his target on him, held the [-]th style firmly with both hands, and raised the gun in a half-kneeling position.
Adjusting his breathing, aiming between three points and one line, his fingers gently touched the trigger of the gun, and then his shoulders trembled, which was the recoil from the bullets.
"ba ba"
In the chaos, no one would pay attention to these two gunshots, but after the first shot missed the target, the second shot hit the target. I felt a pain in my chest, and then my breathing became short of breath.The figure was only swaying twice on the horse, but he didn't have the strength to grab Ma Jiang and fell from above.
With the tide of retreat, once a person falls, the consequences will be very serious.Ruan Gengwang, who was shot, would not have died immediately, but when he fell to the ground and countless big feet stepped on him, not to mention whether he was still out of breath, but the whole person's face became completely different , At that moment, he was completely trampled to death.
Ruan Gengwang's death from his horse represented a complete retreat of the 100 Cochin Army. Without anyone stopping them, the Cochin Army ran backwards crazily. Less than [-] meters behind them, [-] men with muskets The mercenaries kept chasing after them, leaving behind some Cochin soldiers who ran at the end one by one.
This seemed to be a talisman, and the speed of chasing the defeated soldiers was getting slower and slower. They were all afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would be killed if they fell behind.
Under the scrambling, stampedes happen from time to time.No matter who it is, once they lose their center of gravity and fall to the ground, they will be trampled to death.
Behind Company Commander Tiance, Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin saw that the overall situation was settled, and immediately shouted to the three trumpeters who had been waiting for a long time not far away: "Blow the charge, all attack!"
"Doo doo doo doo doo doo"
The loud and refreshing charge sounded, and more than 3000 mercenaries rushed forward after a shout. While maintaining the formation of the platoon, they rushed forward as fast as possible. The current situation seems to tell them that if they take one step at night, they will lose an unknown amount of military achievements in front of them.
Compared with the charge of the whole army of mercenaries, Prince Li Yuanlong was staggering on the city tower of Hanoi. If the guards on the side hadn't helped him, everyone would have fallen to the ground beside him.
"Defeated, defeated." Li Yuanlong murmured just as he stood still.
"His Royal Highness, the last general is willing to close the city gate immediately." The famous general Fan Yuhai's expression was also very ugly.But fortunately, he has led the army and fought for many years, so he is not as miserable as the prince.
"The final general seconded the proposal." Another general, Huang Hua, also cupped his fists and lowered his head. Obviously, he also saw that if this continued, the defeated Ruan Gengwang's troops might attract mercenaries to follow him into the city.
Hearing the two generals expressing the same opinion, a look of struggle flashed across Li Yuanlong's face.But soon he still made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "Ben ordered by the prince to close the city gate."
With this order, it means that the [-] Jiaozhi soldiers outside the city are completely abandoned.
Ruan Gengwang died, and his soldiers turned and ran like headless chickens, just hoping to enter Hanoi city as soon as possible so as to save their lives.But the next thing I saw was the east city gate closing from the inside, and the heavy gate made an unpleasant creaking sound and was closing quickly.
"No!" Seeing that the only escape route was about to be blocked.There are at least 1 more Cochin soldiers with red eyes.Some people had despairing expressions in their eyes, some people accelerated their running speed, thinking that they could rush into the city at the last moment, and some people ran towards the empty and unattended catapult. In front of the catapult, everyone worked together to change the direction of the heavy catapult.
"Since they have abandoned us, don't blame us for fighting in our own way." After a certain famous commander shouted, he directed the soldiers under his feet to put the boulder into the trebuchet and began to move towards The city of Hanoi behind him blasted past.
While blaring, the commander shouted to the approaching mercenary soldiers, "We surrendered, and we are willing to help you take down Hanoi City and make meritorious deeds!"
With such a shout, many Jiaozhi soldiers responded quickly.In order to survive, they must take a posture at this time.
"Stop shooting!" Company commander Tiance, who had already loaded the fourth magazine, saw the changing situation in front of him, and immediately stopped the advancing mercenaries.
