Chapter 1610 Mounting the Bayonet

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before setting off, the First Staff Office had already drawn up several combat plans.  As the supreme commander, Zhang Sanzheng only needs to choose one of them and issue an execution order.  Soon, the artillery troops quickly launched operations under the cover of the infantry.  The night is getting darker, the moonlight is flickering, and the conditions for the artillery carriage to advance are not very ideal.  However, the artillerymen, who had experienced countless night trainings, were not greatly affected.  With the efforts of the artillerymen, the packhorses with their mouths gagged and their hooves wrapped around them, dragging artillery carts of all sizes, quietly arrived at the firing position.  The unloading of artillery, the deployment of artillery, the removal of raincloths, and the placement of ammunition were all done in the dark.  Facts speak louder than words.  Li Zhongyi no longer needs to say anything more about the benefits of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime.  According to the principle of small artillery in front and heavy artillery in the back, more than a hundred artillery pieces were arranged in three rows.  Under the bright or dark moonlight, the gun barrels flashed with bronze light, revealing their ferocious and bloodthirsty true face, pointing at the camp of the Goryeo mob.  At this time, following an order, countless torches suddenly lit up on the artillery position, illuminating the entire firing position as bright as day.  "Check the cannon, fire three rounds rapidly, let go!" Artillery is a very scientific branch.  According to artillery drill regulations, before the artillery group fires, there must be live ammunition firing to verify the firing range.  "Bang" When the first shell exploded into the camp of the Goryeo mob, the counterinsurgency began.  "Boom" The shell exploded just above a fire in the mob camp. The iron shell exploded instantly, and countless small projectiles flew all over the sky.  "Ah" The mobs who were hit by small projectiles fell to the ground one after another.  They were shot in the head and were certain to die. They twitched a few times and then fell silently into a pool of blood.  Near the fire, some people held their stomachs and cried out in pain, some hugged their legs and rolled on the ground, and more people died before they even had time to call out.  The flowering cannonball is not a particularly advanced thing.  With the prophet Li Zhongyi pointing the way, the craftsmen of the artillery workshop finally invented the "explosive bomb" after several years of technical research.  The difficulty of developing artillery shells is mainly the new time-delay fuse and the wooden holder.  The two ends of the wooden tube fuse are made of wood, and a large section in the middle is hollow, with a medicine gun with a very stable burning speed placed inside.  The wooden tube is marked with a scale in advance. When firing, the artillery will estimate the flight time of the shell based on the distance, then dig a hole on the corresponding scale (to be able to contact the gunpowder inside the shell), and then insert the wooden tube fuse into the shell.  In addition, installing a wooden support at the bottom of the shell can protect the "explosive shell" when the propellant explodes.  Moreover, after the "flowering bullet" was launched, the front and back were light, similar to badminton, making the ballistic more accurate.  When firing wooden "explosive bombs", there is no need to ignite the explosive bombs in advance, just ignite the fuse of the artillery propellant directly.  After the propellant detonates, part of it will spray out from the gap between the shell and the barrel, directly igniting the fuse of the "explosive bomb", and then launch it.  The best killing effect of "explosive bombs" is to explode over dense crowds.  In the artillery force, all artillerymen who are good at calculating air burst time receive three times the military salary.  After three rounds of actual tests of the calibration gun, the artillery staff quickly came up with reasonable ballistic parameters and wooden tube scales for airburst after intense calculations and combined with changes in wind direction and speed.  The results of the three test firings have caused chaos in the Goryeo mob camp with lax military discipline.  "Run quickly" "God has punished us" "Why are you panicking? Stop for me." At this time, the rebel leader who had already discovered the chaos in the military camp decisively dropped the red fruit beauty in his arms and held it in his hand.  Carrying a broadsword, he led the Qinya troops and hacked to death a dozen soldiers who were running around, trying to restore order in the camp.  However, in the process of gradually restoring order in the mob camp, the situation has undergone shocking changes.  The artillery unit, after obtaining the launch parameters, began to load the ammunition intensively.  "The 1st Artillery Battalion is ready, release." As the officer waved the small red flag in his hand, the thirty 6-pound cannons in the first row let out an earth-shattering roar almost at the same time.  "The first battalion is loading, the second battalion is preparing." "The second battalion, release." "?"Boom, boom" Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery, the mob camp was blown to pieces, with corpses strewn all over the ground. "The heavy artillery was raised ten degrees, aiming at the depth of the bandit camp" "Get ready,  put!  " "Boom, boom, boom" When the 12-pound heavy artillery fired in volley, the whole earth began to tremble. Li Jiyi, who was riding on the horse, comforted the frightened horse under his crotch, while secretly sighing. "What the father said  That's right, whatever weapons you have, you can fight whatever kind of battle you have. If in the past, everyone had a horse, the Han army would just gallop into the unsuspecting rebel camp and they would have won a great victory.  However, in the dark night and in the chaos, the Han soldiers will inevitably suffer unnecessary casualties. Now, with a large number of "explosive bomb" artillery reinforcements, they only need to aim at the rebel camp.  After a few rounds of bombardment, the rebels collapsed without fighting. Neither Li Jiyi brother had ever entered the martial arts hall. However, in the military textbook written by Li Zhongyi, there was a lot of information about how to kill the enemy at the lowest cost.  It is extremely clear. Chasing down the defeated troops with their backs turned is what the cavalry is most willing to do. It is also the mode of combat that kills the most enemies and minimizes casualties. Now, Zhang Sanzheng ordered an intensive bombardment, which was obviously taking advantage of it.  The mob's lack of military discipline was a huge flaw, and they wanted to drive them out of the camp. Sure enough, after three rounds of shelling, the Goryeo mob threw down their weapons and fled out of the camp. It was time to blow the trumpet and charge.  Before Li Jiyi could finish his thoughts, he heard the loud sound of charging horns, resounding throughout the night sky. "Didi-dah-dah" All the officers and soldiers in the second and third positions waved their sabers and ran wildly.  The Li brothers were sent out, and Zhang Sanzheng became the general reserve team for the battle. The friendly troops who stayed under the banner of the First Association all rushed out to kill the enemy and made meritorious deeds.  Both of them could only stay there and stare, inevitably feeling angry. There was no other way. Zhang Sanzheng was not only not a fool, but also extremely smart. In this kind of dark environment, even if it was a one-sided pursuit, after the first target was released.  , there will inevitably be casualties. If something happens to the two princes, even if the emperor tolerates the pain and is generous, can the empress dowager and the prince's biological mother spare Zhang Sanzheng? Hehe, even if Zhang Sanzheng thinks with his feet, he will guess.  Got it, the two princes are feeling very upset, right? "Order the first target to rest where he is, and then clean up the battlefield after dawn.  "Zhang Sanzheng doesn't care how upset the princes are, he just does what he wants. After following Li Zhongyi's military career for so many years, Zhang Sanzheng has long been a experienced general. All the generals under the emperor know an ironclad fact: the emperor  It is completely acceptable for you to waste people and money in vain, but it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to allow you to advance in a greedy manner and cause a huge defeat with heavy casualties. The strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different. You can choose to retreat or even escape lightly, but the emperor will not do it.  In the emperor's view, as long as the soldiers came back alive, it would be a good thing to keep the mountains alive without fear of running out of firewood. However, if the enemy's situation was unknown or greedy for success, the battle would be a big defeat.  Just wait and bear the emperor's heroic wrath! As the founder of the Imperial Army, Li Zhongyi's personal style of cautious warfare has penetrated into the bones of the entire imperial army, and it can no longer be separated after dawn.  , the battle reports of the pursuing troops were sent back one after another. The more than 3,000 mounted troops had defeated the defeated mob and surrounded them. At present, in addition to the more than 20,000 mobs who had surrendered, the second and third targets were still there.  The soldiers had already trapped the defeated mob leader in a small depression. At this time, the soldiers on the first target had already had a full breakfast and were waiting for the battle order. "Everyone is here, stand at attention, mount your horse, and set off.  "As Zhang Sanzheng's order was passed down, the soldiers in the first position quickly set off and marched towards the direction where the mob leader was surrounded. Following the direction of advancement, Li Jiyi, who was riding on his horse, suddenly discovered that along the way, there were people everywhere.  They were all the corpses of Goryeo mobs. However, as the horse team accelerated, the corpses of Chiguo women and children continued to appear along the way. There were too many corpses and there was no time to clean them up. There were already too many horseshoes under Li Jiyi's crotch.  Stepping on the corpse for the first time, the cruelty of war suddenly hit me.At the beginning of the battlefield, brother Li Jiyi was too late to guard against him.  At this moment, the smell of blood in the air hit his nose and he really wanted to vomit.  Not far away, Li Jixiao was lying on his horse, vomiting until the sky was dark and the ground was dark, with tears streaming down his face.  War is so cruel, the God of Death will not distinguish between old people, women or children!  After the first bidder arrived at the depression where the mob leader was besieged, Zhang Sanzheng ordered the troops to abandon their horses and line up.  In the crisp and rhythmic sound of the snare drum, the soldiers on the first line quickly launched an offensive formation of line infantry.  Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Jiyi and Li Jixiao both lined up in the third row of the line infantry, which was also the safest position.  The remaining mob had no long-range strike weapons such as bows and arrows, and could only watch helplessly as the Han army's line of infantry gradually approached amidst the sound of military drums.  When they were about a hundred meters apart, the line infantry stopped advancing.  "First row, raise your guns and fire." The mob fell in rows in panic.  "Second row, release." After ten breaths.  "Third row, let go." After another ten breaths.  This is simply a massacre with zero casualties!  After Li Jiyi raised his gun and fired ten rounds, his whole body became numb.  At this time, he was like a killing machine, mechanically reloading, stepping forward, shooting, then stepping back to reload, stepping forward again, and the cycle started over and over again.  "Fix the bayonet." Just when Li Jiyi's mind went blank, the military order suddenly came.
