Eagle Byzantium

So the two guards began to wave the colorful flags in the direction of their own artillery base, which meant, "The enemy's long and heavy artillery are few in number, and they are concentrating on continuing to suppress the enemy's military formation."

But at this time, Gao Wenfang's long and heavy artillery no longer dared to shoot at the military formation.

Because the enemy's crane-controlling army was extremely fast, it had already advanced to a distance of less than 1,200 feet from Gawain's shooting army. If you fire any more at this time, you will inevitably inadvertently injure your own side.

Gawain saw that between the two black waves, the white land that was not swallowed was getting narrower and narrower.

"Stand still, raise the flag." Following the sound of the whistle and the command of the flag officer, a total of 4,500 shooting soldiers from five brigades marched among the clumps of weeds and shrubs, occasionally encountering artillery shells. When they came out of the pit, the formations separated slightly and fluctuated, then quickly gathered together again, and then in this Some distance away, the soldiers stopped and raised their eyes. Those in the front could see patches of white fur coats of the enemy, while those in the rear could only see the sides of their comrades in the front. Different shooting teams were shooting according to the horns. Interlaced with the shape of the chessboard, this will facilitate their taking turns.

A brave and reckless flag officer, riding a white horse and holding a short musket used by the cavalry, jumped out of the queue with a roar, and fired a "bang" at the approaching enemy crane control troops. Remember, the white mist drifted away, "Come and die, natural disaster invaders from the east!"

As a result, the ranks of the Crane Control Army were suddenly filled with the sound of violent bow strings, and a storm of iron clusters rose up. It was the soldiers in the rear row who fired the divine arm bows and enemy-defeating bows in their hands.

The divine arm bow has a range of approximately 1,300 anna feet.

The enemy-defeating bow has a longer range, about 1,500 Anna feet.

The flag officer's war horse was immediately hit by a bullet in the forehead. The horse's brains burst out and it instantly fell to its knees, pushing its owner forward. However, before the poor flag officer could hit the ground, he was hit by three bullets one after another. The arm bow was pierced by the iron cluster, and he was nailed to the ground and died.

Then, countless iron clusters fell like thunder, and the soldiers at the forefront of the shooting army fell down one after another after being hit by arrows.

"Don't panic, keep loading lead shot and gunpowder!" The soldiers in the rear and unconcentrated shooting corps were indeed battle-hardened. Even though the blood of many of their comrades splattered on them, they still stood where they were and held on. Post, eyes straight , just follow the requirements of the code, tear the paper tube, erect the long gun, load the gunpowder, take out the stick to pound it, roll in the lead shot, then take out the copper pot on the shoulder strap, and sprinkle the Khitan snow into the fire door , fasten the iron cover to prevent rain and snow...

For a moment, the sound of the cane twitching the blunderbuss was like an endless rainstorm hitting the felt cloth - more than 4,000 shooting troops, almost uniformly, were doing such actions.

On the other side, the soldiers in the back row of the Crane Control Army began to lean down and slowly cocked their heavy crossbows again, while those in the front row continued to move forward quickly, holding firecrackers like a dense forest.

Eight hundred feet, six hundred feet, five hundred feet.

"Our improved Khitan Snow Shooting is more powerful, be the first to shoot a row!" the shooting flag officers of the Roman Empire shouted, and then the shooting soldiers followed the order and leveled the long muskets in their hands.

"Salvo!" The flame tongue flag and the swallow tail flag waved.

Countless gunfire followed a straight trajectory, covering a thousand-foot-long cross-section, and then teleported to sweep down the queue of the crane-controlling army, like a burst of the most violent hail, hitting the shaking leaves of the seedlings. , the soldiers at the front of the Crane Control Army screamed, sprayed out clouds of blood mist, and then fell one after another in the grass.

But at this moment, the soldiers in the rear row stepped forward regardless of their own safety, "Fire guns and kill the enemy!" Then, the queue of the Crane Control Army also shot out strings of thunder.

On the opposite side, the soldiers of the Roman Shooting Corps also screamed and fell down like sections of a collapsed wall.

A quarter of an hour later, the two thousand long-gunners of Paul's faction who spun around began to form a diagonal line and began to shoot fiercely at the crane-controlling army.

The gunmen from Huang Song's Tiger Wing Left Army also stepped forward and began to fire their guns in turn, hitting Paul's troops like a rainstorm.

Suddenly, in the wilderness of Mofu City, at a distance of only three to five hundred feet, nearly ten thousand fire cannons spurted out clouds of fireworks. The sound shook the sky and the earth, and even the battlements and the masonry of the wall base of Mofu City were shaken. It's shaking.

Soon, the shooting army introduced the "Constantinople Organ Cannon" and the "Flying Fire Bronze Clam" to strengthen the firepower.

The Emperor Song Dynasty's Crane Control Army actually introduced a thick-tube special cannon, the "Hundred Son Cyclone Cannon". However, the gunners of the Crane Control Army carried muskets made of cardboard and were filled with lead pellets. , insert it from the top of the copper barrel. Go, the gunner behind him turns the mechanism, continuously fires sparks to trigger the gunpowder, and shoots out the lead pellets in the musket, repeating the cycle, maintaining uninterrupted firepower. Although the range is not far, the violent "click-click" sound is extremely powerful. of shock.

In addition, Huang Song's rocket car was also launched. Its frame was covered with colorful tiger skin, and the rockets it fired were two-stage extended range.

This time, they met their opponents again: light artillery and rockets from both sides shuttled back and forth intensively. The soil under the feet of the soldiers was constantly being shot away with red fire. Their flesh and blood bodies were constantly being hit and torn apart. There were wounds and dead bodies everywhere, and the grass was burning everywhere. , thick smoke covered an area several kilometers in radius.

After a full half-hour of firepower battle, tens of thousands of barbarians on the right wing of the Emperor Song Dynasty roared into action. They passed through the smoke at extremely fast speeds, waving their sabers and bows. Are you going to take the spearmen of the column?" Several guards in Gaofu nervously put down their short barrels, then looked back and asked the emperor who was standing still.

A correct version in the 16-9 book forum!

Gawain looked at it and waved his staff, "No, let the 6,000 Seljuk cavalry led by Tabor on the front of our left wing charge forward."

"May Allah bless us, charge forward and smash the pagan cross over there!" At this time, all the Seljuk cavalry on Gawain's left wing also drew out swords and sabers, with round copper shields on their backs and red dog-tooth flags flying. Under the wild shouts of Tabor Muhammad, they began to charge like a raging tide, and soon they slashed into the barbarian cavalry formation like a sharp blade.

Soon, the great melee between the cavalry began again, hacking and stabbing, the dull cracking sound of armor and blades colliding with each other was still very clear and terrifying in the billowing smoke, the injured horses rolled on the ground, the ownerless horses ran around, the injured and fallen cavalry soldiers with one breath left grabbed their shields and curled up under them, hoping to avoid the trampling of the enemy or friends' horses and survive the cruel battle by chance.

But 99% of them were wishful thinking.

The Seljuk cavalry was obviously better equipped and more powerful in combat. They defeated the barbarian cavalry subordinate to the Song Dynasty with all their might, and began to turn the battle line and raid the flank of the Song Dynasty's Tiger Wing Right Army.

But they soon discovered that the enemy's Tiger Wing Right Army had no flank at all: all the soldiers, including those in the iron tower-like armor, only showed their eyes, and were covered with long armor plates all over their bodies. They held heavy swords and axes, and walked in groups of three or five. They approached like a wall, and anyone who encountered them was killed instantly. The hundreds of Seljuk cavalry who rushed towards their formation were killed on the spot like being executed, and the rest were so scared that they dismounted and fled.
