Nanming Engineer

Chapter 466 Continue to rush

Approaching, approaching, the dark red copper cannon of the Ming army slowly enlarged in the field of vision, gradually became clearer, and gradually changed from something the size of a child's toy to a real giant as tall as a person.

The lingering smoke from the muzzle was still lingering, and a group of soldiers in white armor were busy cleaning their chambers, in a hurry, and seemed to be moving very fast. Someone was looking at him unconsciously, with a look of panic that couldn't be concealed in their eyes.

A hint of pride flashed through Ye Chen's angry heart, yes, this is the look the Ming army should have when facing the invincible Eight Banners force.The flying ax in his hand was accumulating power, and his right arm was gently pulled back. When the distance was sufficient, he would swing the ax round and hit the head of the first Ming army he encountered.

However, to kill these damned gunners, there is still a hurdle to overcome.

A few rows of loose-looking infantry stood more than ten steps away in front of the artillery. The two rows in the front were carrying bird guns, and the ones in the back were holding long guns. The blades of the guns were facing Ye Chen's direction. There are less than 300 people up, they should be soldiers guarding the artillery battalion.

There is a huge gap of more than ten feet between the artillery battalion and the Ming army's infantry formation in the middle. It looks like a half-covered beautiful woman who opened the door of the room with a smile on her face and stretched out her fingers while lying on the bed. Seduce the five big and three thick strong men outside the door.

If you approach the past and a wave of arrows rains down, will the Ming army, which is holding a spear and pretending to be a hedgehog, collapse in an instant?
As Ye Chen thought about it, his heart, which had just been so angry from being hit by iron bullets, became a little happier. The scenes of the Ming army fleeing under the iron hooves in the past echoed in his mind like a movie, making his mood once again passionate.

"Kill~~!" He roared, and stood up on the horse. His superb riding skills made him as stable as his feet on the thick earth despite the vigorous movement of the horse. Ming dog's head!"

The cavalry who followed closely behind him screamed and became crazy like bloodthirsty, kicking the horse's belly desperately, speeding up the horse's running speed.

In the noisy background, Yan Mingde stared at Ye Chen, who was howling like a wounded wolf from a distance, and raised the gun in his hand.

The lead bullets had already been poured, the medicine pool was filled with gunpowder, and the matchlock was sparking. Yan Mingde calmed down, closed one eye, and approached with his right cheek full of holes like sandpaper. The bird gun aimed at the door, took a glance, and gently pulled the trigger.

The bird's beak carried sparks, and it hit the medicine pool fiercely, splashing sparks. Although Yan Mingde turned his face alertly, he was inevitably burned by the sparks a few times.

At that distance, it's impossible to hit anything you want to hit, it's too far away.

This can be seen from Ye Chen's still screaming wildly. Under the rapid running, he got closer to a certain distance, and he was only fifty feet away from the motionless white armored bird gunslinger.

However, Yan Mingde's shot was not aimed at killing Ye Chen.On the battlefield where all kinds of sounds are deafening, especially in the artillery battalion that is comparable to the thunderstorm group, the sound of shouting from the mouth can not be heard two steps away. Everyone around sees it.

This is a signal.

Following the gunshot, there was a muffled sound, and a dozen or so tumbling explosive packets were thrown out from behind the gunner, and flew into the sky accompanied by puffs of green smoke. Fly where you arrive.

It is a technical job to shoot the charge in advance and throw the charge at the place where the enemy is about to rush. It is difficult to grasp, but there is no way to do it.

The angle was set in advance, Yan Mingde used his experience to estimate the timing, and fired at the best shooting distance of Hong Tianlei, trying to kill the Qing army as much as possible, and repelling them was the plan of the Kuizhou army.

The first is the divine power cannon, then the sky thunder, followed by the captive ammunition, and finally there is the volley of bird guns. After such a process, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it will be dizzy, and there are very few fish that slip through the net.

Dorgon wants to taste the bitter fruit Nikan tasted again.

Ye Chen controlled the reins with one hand and looked suspiciously at the explosive packets flying in the air. These bedroll-like things did not have the same momentum as iron bullets, and their speed was much slower. It seemed that they would not break the head if they hit someone. Blood flow, I don’t know what it is.

Sun Long and the others in the back row saw it, they recognized the product, and they felt a "thump" in their hearts, secretly yelling that it was not good.

It's too late to say anything.Two rows of walls of smoke and fire were erected in front of Ye Chen and the national pillars. The smoke was lingering and swayed in all directions like a wave. The violent shock wave involved all the people and horses within a radius of tens of feet, kneaded and ravaged them, and then tore them into pieces. .

The entire ground was shaking. Unlike the Shenwei Cannon just now, the explosion of thousands of catties of explosives caused a small earthquake. Even though many people in the Han army formation two miles away were shaken and fell to the ground, heaven The loud noise like thunder can destroy everyone's ears, and the strong wind hits the face like a huge wave.

Ye Chen felt his eyes go dark, and a huge force like a battering hammer tore him off his horse and threw him into the sky. His body weighing more than 100 kilograms was floating like a leaf, and he had nowhere to put his strength. He scratched around in panic, but I couldn't catch anything, and I didn't even know where the throwing ax in my hand fell.

Immediately afterwards, there was severe pain below the chest, and he fainted from the pain in an instant. His whole body flew several feet away, fell to the ground, broke in half, and died.

The cavalry brigade, fearless of death, was hit in the head by the explosion and blocked in front of the Ming army, unable to move forward. The explosion effect of a dozen explosive packs weighing tens of kilograms was comparable to a sandstorm and a tornado. Like Ye Chen, the people were blown into pieces of meat and flesh. Those who were a little further away were also shocked and fell to the ground with blood coming from their mouths and noses.

The horses were startled, and they turned around and ran away. No matter how much the knights beat and scolded to appease them, it was of no avail. They all stared wide-eyed, watching this feast of firearms in a daze.

Sun Long stopped pushing the cannon, and watched Hong Tianlei massacre the cavalry with a pale face. He was trembling all over. He could see clearly that the Ming army only threw a dozen or so medicine bags to make such a big bomb. Movement and stillness, ordinary black gunpowder, this equivalent can't achieve this effect.

"Sacred weapon! Sacred weapon!" Sun Long murmured, moving his lips. He put his hands on the red cannon and felt cold to the bones: "No wonder Nikan is defeated. How can he not be defeated with this kind of fighting style?"

He really wanted to turn around and leave, but his feet couldn't move, he was nailed to the spot, and he was in a daze.

Man Dahai pointed forward with one hand, his face was full of disbelief, his eyes were about to bulge out of their sockets, his mouth was wide open, but no sound came out.

Dorgon, on the other hand, had a cold face as if he had eaten a fly, with a serious expression. Even the closest guard hadn't seen him for a long time. At this moment, he completely gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Wang Huan. surrender?How can it be!

Man Dahai twisted his neck with difficulty, his body was stiff and not very flexible, he said to Dorgon with a pale face: "Royal father, what should I do?"

"Keep charging!" Dorgon gritted his teeth and said in a toneless voice: "No retreat! Send the Chinese cavalry up until the Ming army is overrun!"

In the next second, he roared: "If the artillery battalion of the Ming army does not die, we must die!"
