Chapter 110 Mulu City (9) Slush VS Taowei (middle)
In fact, the losses of the Dashi Army were even more serious than expected.
At first they didn't care, but with the saturated attack of the crossbows and artillery, the direct casualties caused were second, and the damage caused by seven kilograms and ten kilograms of iron bullets was the most shocking thing they were - they were obviously the elites in the Great Food Army, but they had never seen such damage when fighting against the Romans, Xhosa, and Ethiopians!
In Mahdi's Baghdad Army camp, at least ten iron bombs hit the camp and then hit them four or five times in a row before finally stopping. When it finally stopped, the blood, human body, animal meat residue, bone residue and soil mixed with the blood, which was shocking.
When such an iron bomb is flying, due to the huge kinetic energy, it would be fine if the target it encountered can be killed on the spot. If not, such a scene will shock these believers who believe in the Great Food Church the most:
The iron bullet pierced the entire chest, and in the end there was only a trace of flesh that made the body barely connect, but the man was not dead and was still lying on the ground and screaming;
The iron bullet took away half of the brain-shaped head and hit the other person's face. Finally, the two of them got together with "stricken";
The iron bullet took away half of the pair of lung lobes, and then took away someone's entire nose, and finally embedded it on the neck of the war horse;
The iron bullet penetrated the horse's belly and took away the cavalry's calves;
......
There are countless such things.
The ten-pound thunder caused more damage after the explosion. With the power of black gunpowder, unless you are unlucky, the scene of death is minimal, but it can completely cause those who are hit by the debris to lose their combat effectiveness on the spot, and some even become blind.
Also, when the thunder falls on the tent and explodes, it will naturally cause the tent to ignite. Unlike the Qin army who can skillfully use tin oil as fuel, the cannibals also retain the habits of the nomadic tribes. Compared with carrying wood, they are more willing to carry lighter and dryer animal feces as fuel.
The combustion of the tent also burned the fuel. So, when the long-range fire attacks of both sides reached two hours, the camps on both sides seemed to be in a sea of fire, but the Qin army was only covered by the raging fires ignited by the surrounding oil pits. The fire in the camp was quickly extinguished, but the Dashi Army was different. When the Qin army's thunder and iron bombs fell over them like raindrops, they had no other way except to run around!
Finally, at the beginning, a large number of war horses, pack horses, and camels could not withstand the explosions that shook the sky, and broke free from the reins and ran out of the camp, followed by the soldiers.
When Abdulah, the leader of the Damascus Infantry Regiment, was unfortunately hit by the fragments of the thunder and fell to the camp, the entire camp was almost in an uproar. They carried Abdulah and rushed out. The cavalry of the Anbar Legion seemed to be different. Since the war horses were out of control, almost all the cavalry simply rode them outside!
However, the Baghdad Legion, which was relatively far behind, suffered relatively less damage. Under Mahdi's strict orders, the Anbar Legion and the Damascus Legion rushed towards the three large camps of the Qin army regardless of their own efforts!
This is to take down the Qin army's camp at any cost. It is strange to say that when the enemy was cooperating with the enemy, the sound of artillery and crossbows for two hours was also stopped.
At this time, at least three thousand light cavalry had gathered around Emir Amal. Unlike the cavalry of Khorasan, as tribal cavalry all from the Anbar desert grassland (the grassland between Iraq and Jordan in later generations), they did not have heavy cavalry, but were extremely fierce light cavalry.
The light cavalry can be talked about as "stubborn" and it is necessary to be good at riding and shooting. It is obvious that this is the case with the Anbar Legion. Among the 10,000 people under Amar, there are 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, but they are also tribal cavalry from various tribes. The other 7,000 are elite light cavalry, including 3,000 specialized archers, with Damascus steel knives, javelins, and fighting with extremely durable big horses.
These people have been trained in the battle with the Romans and Ethiopians, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. The so-called camp of the Qin army built a short wall about one meter high with straw bags filled with soil. Such a wall can also be leaped past for skilled riders.
After the Damascus Army Emil Abdulah was injured, Amal temporarily took over the command of the army. When the soldiers of the two camps all left the camp, he calmed down and did not attack in a clueless way, but gathered around Sun Xiaoke's Bogda camp.
Within about half an hour after all the guns stopped, about three thousand Damascus infantry and three thousand Ambar cavalry had gathered near the Bogda camp. Amar decided not to care about that much, the infantry and cavalry launched an attack on the battalion at the same time!
However, the half-hour rest cannons prepared all the eighty artillery of Bogda Battalion. On each side of the camp, two thousand-pound joint-engine cannons were arranged!
Before this, Amar rode around Bogda Camp on horseback and found that about 10% of the tents were burning in the Qin army camp, the soldiers were extinguishing fires, and the war horses were running around in scattered areas, followed by the soldiers chasing them, and the camp was also full of wailing soldiers. It was obvious that the sulphur bombs on their sides also caused them a considerable loss.
And beside the camp, he only found sparse soldiers!
After repeated confirmation, Amal issued an attack order. This time, in order to occupy the camp as soon as possible, he divided it into six rounds, with one thousand steps in each round!
This time, he also gave up the tactic of giving way to the infantry and cavalry to follow, but the two battalions had cavalry first, infantry behind, and the other two battalions had infantry first and cavalry behind.
Emir still trusts Damascus infantry very much.
The Damascus infantry was completely born from the Roman infantry legion. In a complete legion, there were about 30% of the swords, shield soldiers, javelins, and slingers. The spears of the spears were two meters long. Even if a large number of enemy cavalry arrived, they were not afraid. When attacking the enemy camp, the spears and swords, shield soldiers could also trade to cover their advance.
In case the enemy casts the heart-wrenching firearm again, this time, the infantry naturally puts the sword and shield soldiers in front of him, and the cavalry can not care about so many things, and they mainly rely on speed to rush directly into the enemy's camp!
"Dadadada..."
Five hundred Anbar cavalry rushed up!
They divided into two teams, each with 250 cavalry, rushed over from a long distance. When they approached the wall of Bogda Camp, the speed of the war horses reached the maximum!
And behind them, two hundred and fifty Damascus infantry each followed!
Opposite the other two camp walls, two hundred and fifty infantrymen also ran, and followed them were two teams of cavalry!
Fifty feet!
At this distance, the war horses ran and came to the camp wall after a few breaths. The one-meter-high camp wall is not an insurmountable barrier for the big horses, and they also crossed higher obstacles!
It seemed that in order to avenge the thunder that had just been knocked down, the iron bombs took turns to attack, and the cavalry who rushed in front were all in flames, as if they were going to swallow the camp in one bite!
On the lookout platform in the middle of the camp, Sun Xiurong's four adopted sons were the oldest in the grade. After the founding of the Qin Dynasty, he was named Duke Duan Guo, and Sun Xiaoke, the general of Huaihua, was also thinking nervously.
"If the shotgun is fired immediately, it will naturally be able to shoot all the enemies in front of you. However, if the enemy sees the scene of heavy losses, the people behind will be retracted back to the camp."
"Fire the crossbow first and aim at the enemy's back formation!"
As the commander of the Bogda Camp, he was actually the guard of the Great Qin State. He was born in the Gongyue tribe and was also a maid slave of the Hu Luju tribe (he was one of the 100 young slaves given to him by Sun Xiurong when he first went to Yanqi Town through the Yili River Valley. When Sun Xiurong first occupied the five right wings of the Western Turkic clan, he occupied the Yili River Valley, one of the 100 young slaves given to him by the Great Chief of Hu Luju tribe, Suo Shijin, who had almost never left him since he became Sun Xiurong's adopted son, which showed Sun Xiurong's high trust in him.
The reason why Sun Xiurong was able to trust him so much is naturally because Sun Xiaoke has outstanding qualities.
However, in terms of martial arts, he is not as good as Ma Lin, Bai Xiaode, even Suha and Nan Gongxun. In terms of commanding troops, he is not as good as Naren Xiaofeng and Yuanfeng, but his current status is second only to Li Feishouyu, Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode because he has both in all aspects.
He can draw a powerful bow with one stone and can draw a left and right moment, which is quite amazing. In addition, he is very smart, otherwise Suo Shijin would not have picked him out of the slave and given it to Sun Xiurong. In addition, he is loyal to Sun Xiurong, almost obeyed his orders, and was also the first person to memorize the Shuye Jun.
Also, he was one of the first people to join the Tiandao Sect.
He was born in the Gongyue family and was proficient in Xianbei, Turkic, and Chinese. He never regarded himself as an adopted son. Why didn’t Sun Xiurong be loyal to him?
With his order issued, the crossbow fired again!
The cavalry in front had already rushed to a place only ten meters away from the camp wall!
"boom......"
Each camp wall has twenty cannons, which are roughly arranged like this: 500 kilograms, 800 kilograms, and 1,000 kilograms and 2. When they are all loaded with shotguns, the width of the barrage formed in front of the cannons is thirty meters, forty meters and fifty meters, and each camp wall of a camp with more than 5,000 people is about 500 meters.
Since the enemy is mostly concentrated in the middle when attacking the camp wall, which is about 300 meters, most of the cannons can be covered by 30% of them.
Considering the cooperation between the enemy's impact and the launch of our own artillery, when the three-wheeled artillery is fully launched, the first round of artillery can be reloaded again, and so on. Of course, in the extreme tension in the wartime, it is also possible that the fourth and fifth rounds of artillery cannot be reloaded on time.
At this time, dense crossbow arrows, bows and arrows, and hand-held thunder can be used.
In order to avoid the enemy who was suddenly attacked to retreat immediately, the first round of artillery simply allowed only 500 kilograms of artillery to be deployed, and only six were deployed!
Six gates, that is a coverage area of about 200 meters, and at least 30% of the enemy will not be affected!
Even so, when the five hundred kilograms of artillery sprayed nearly two hundred meters of shotgun, they not only shot down all the enemies in front of them, but also scared the enemies on both sides into a cold sweat. So they thought of the attack they were in the camp just now. Moreover, when the sound of artillery sounded again, their war horses stopped obeying the command and began to run around in scatters!
At this time, the Qin army's powerful crossbow began to shoot!
Chapter completed!
