Chapter 322: Xiangfan Battle 2
Seeing a large number of rebels rushing over, Li Rui was not panicked at all, but just smiled and said, "It's time that you dare to go out of the city to fight back. These rebels are really brave!"
Fu Sheng said: "Captain, the last person will ask to go to war!"
Li Rui said: "Go."
Fu Sheng said, "Now!" He drove the horses out, drew out the single-edged sword, and shouted, "Second group, follow me!"
Four hundred Wuhuan cavalry cheered together and rushed towards the rebels with Fu Sheng.
The rebels didn't expect the Jin army to react so quickly. They didn't panic at all when they saw so many of their people rushing out. They sent cavalry to rush over! The officer leading the team secretly complained, yelling: "Line up! Spearmen are in front and archers are behind, don't let these cavalry rush over!"
The rebels urgently stopped the charge, quickly formed a dense phalanx, and held their spears to aim at the Wuhuan cavalry rushing towards them.
Seeing this, Fu Sheng immediately inserted his sword back into the sheath, took off the bow and arrow, and shot a sound arrow. The Wuhuan cavalry immediately put down the spear in his hand, took off the bow and arrow, avoided the front of the spear square formation, whistled through the wings, pulled out the strong bow and shot against the rebels who were lined up to fight against the cavalry's attack! For a moment, the trembling sound of the bow strings continued, and sharp arrows roared one after another. The rebels in close formation immediately became targets, and were shot to the ground by three clusters of five in groups, making painful screams. The rebels' archers were also struggling.
The arrows were shot back, and the arrows were raining heavily, but the Wuhuan cavalry had already seized the upper vent. As the horses were galloping, the dust was rising in the sky. The dust drifted towards the rebels with the wind, making it difficult for the archers in the anti-wind position to see things. The arrows shot were greatly reduced and they did not cause any substantial damage to the Wuhuan cavalry. The Wuhuan cavalry ran back and forth, shooting fatal sharp arrows at a distance of twenty steps, and the sand and dust raised on the horse's hooves made the rebels unable to open their eyes. They could only be beaten. In just two rounds, the rebels' team began to be in chaos!
The biggest advantage of the cavalry is that they can seize the most favorable battlefield for them by relying on their huge mobility advantages. For example, when confronting the infantry, they were clearly in a position against the wind, but they could easily run to the position of the wind, turning the infantry that was originally downwind into the direction of the wind. Now this rebel has tasted this taste and was completely pressed to the ground. The crossbows in their hands are much stronger than those used by the cavalry, but due to the influence of dust, there is no way to effectively fight back. The arrows shot by the Wuhuan cavalry did not cause too much casualties to them, but the fear caused quickly defeated the army. They panicked and rushed to the river, and they were not at ease to maintain the army!
All you want is to flee in all directions!
With Fu Sheng's order, the Wuhuan cavalry made way out and allowed the rebels to escape to the river smoothly. He led the cavalry to chase them closely behind, and shot them down like a raindrop of sharp arrows, like shooting rabbits. Don't think that the chance of being shot by the person is low if the person is dispersed. In fact, after the person is dispersed, the crossbow in the rebels' hands becomes a decoration. After eliminating the threat from the opponent's archers, the cavalry can approach more than a dozen steps almost unscrupulously and shoot arrows, and the shooting is even more accurate!
This rebel army was so cowardly that they shot dead and injured all over the ground, and they were in a mess!
However, these Wuhuan cavalry were not able to be proud for too long. A small team of Wuhuan cavalry might have been the leader and tried to surround the flanks, but they ran to the river inadvertently. The rebel warships swimming in the river were launching crossbows and arrows, which immediately shot them overturned. The fierce Wuhuan cavalry jumped like thunder and rushed towards the river, trying to rush into the river and poked the broken ships with a spear to break through several holes. But what was greeted was a denser rain of arrows, which shot them backwards.
Seeing that these extremely fierce Wuhuan cavalry were blocked, the rebels couldn't help but cheer, and their morale, which had already collapsed, stopped falling and rose. They leaned against the river bank, re-arranged, waving their weapons to shout at the Jin army, provoking them wantonly, and exploded the Wuhuan cavalry. However, with those ships, they did not dare to go forward, and could only grit their teeth outside the range of the other strong crossbow!
However, just as these rebel soldiers were so proud, a team of Jin troops pushed a very strange weapon towards them. The weapon looked very strange, just a piece of wood that looked a few circles thicker than their thighs. It was hollowed out in the middle, revealing a black hole. The thing was installed on two wheels, and there was a figure-shaped bracket behind it. I don't know what it did. A total of six such weapons were pushed until only a hundred steps away from them, pointing at them from afar.
Looking at the weapon, the rebels felt uneasy and instinctively felt that something was wrong. The officer shouted: "Don't panic! It's just a few pieces of wood, and it has no lethality. I'm afraid it will do anything!?"
The rebel soldiers looked left and right, but they really couldn't see the lethality of this thing, so they felt relieved.
A row of Jin army infantry held large shields in front of these wooden cannons, forming a shield wall to block the sharp arrows shot from afar. Li Rui came to the wooden cannon leisurely, first aiming as if he was sure to aim his gun at the target, and then gave an order. Two loaders immediately stepped forward. The first one stabbed a pack of granular black gunpowder wrapped in oil paper into the cannon chamber. The second one took out a large bag of iron beads wrapped in linen and stabbed them into the cannon chamber...
Li Ruizhe took action and poked a goose hair tube from the ignition mouth and poked through the waterproof oil paper wrapped in the gunpowder, inserted it into the gunpowder, and then howled at the top of his throat: "It's spread out!"
The gang of men who kept holding their shields in front of him immediately ran away. Seeing that they were running so hard, they accidentally thought there was a ghost chasing them from behind!
After Li Rui waited for them to run away, he lit the torch with a torch, and then ran away!
After he ran more than twenty steps away...
boom!!!
A earth-shaking loud noise shocked the battlefield. The "wooden tube" spewed out a terrifying ball of smoke. Iron beads the size of longan core shot out from it like rain, roaring heavily toward the rebels a hundred steps away!
I can't imagine the feelings of the rebels at this time. Are they shocked? Curious? Are they surprised that this wooden tube would actually spit fire? Or... These are nothing more important. What is important is that in the midst of the squirting smoke, the rebels who were already in an orderly queue to fight back were bleeding all over their bodies, and some of their hands and feet were torn off and turned into minced meat flying all over the sky. Amid the shrill screams, these unlucky soldiers were lying down in a bunch of three, five in a bunch of five, and a large area of them lay down!
With just one shot, twenty or thirty rebels turned into blood gourds. Some were torn to pieces on the spot, and some were left with a breath, rolling all over the ground with pain, and blood would spray wherever they rolled... The rebel army was like a pile of slaughterhouses. Such a bloody scene made the surviving rebels tremble all over and their minds were blank!
When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Li Rui looked at the rebels' army. Seeing that the rebels' army had been blown up, but most of the rebels were still standing there motionless. He couldn't help but frown, and came behind the second cannon, manipulating the cannon to aim at the rebels...
However, before he could order the reload, the rebels suddenly let out a sharp scream, as if they were blown up like a hornet stabbed, and fled in all directions. At this moment, these rebel soldiers showed amazing explosive power. They were obviously wearing heavy armor, but they flew up and down one by one, running without getting dust. The speed, the passion, and the desire for life and sunshine really made Li Rui sweat!
What made Li Rui most ashamed was that even if these guys were tripped when they didn't walk and didn't have time to get up, they could climb quickly even if they used their hands and feet!
Damn, these guys must be returning to their ancestors!
Xu Hun was also stunned and said, "My mother, these guys... are all scythes, running so fast!"
Li Rui shook his head and said, "Don't install shotgun, install iron balls, and aim at the first ship!"
Xu Hun personally took an 8-pound iron ball and stuffed it into the cannon chamber. After loading it, Li Rui ignited it, and then the two of them ran back with no life...
boom!
There was another loud noise, and many rebel soldiers who were running for no time twitched their calves, and they couldn't help but fall to the ground, holding their heads in their hands and trembling all over, making hysterical screams. At this time, they were already extremely afraid. The terrifying loud noise from the fire-breathing "wooden tubes" and the terrifying lethality made them shatter and want to find a crack on the ground!
Fortunately, this gun was not a hit. With a loud bang, the heavy iron ball whizzed out of the cannon chamber and headed straight for the ship swimming in the river. It was not flying fast. Standing on the boat, you could clearly see it flying slowly, as if you could easily grab it with just a stretch of your hand. Of course, this was just an illusion. If there was really a fool who dared to reach out to grab it, his arm would be smashed to pieces immediately!
Bang!
The iron ball accurately hit the leading warship and made a loud noise. The hull of the warship was fine to resist the arrows shot by a single crossbow, but it was far from resisting the iron ball that flew over at a speed of one or two hundred meters per second. Without any suspense, the hull was smashed into a big hole by the iron ball, and the broken wood chips sputtered in the cabin like sharp arrows. On the spot, several unlucky crossbowmen turned into blood gourds and fell into a pool of blood!
The commander on the ship looked at the iron ball parked at his feet, surprised and curious: "Is it fired by a stone crossbow or a catapult? Why did he hit so accurately?"
Before he finished speaking, another loud noise was heard on the shore, and another iron ball flew over, smashed through the hull and fell into the cabin and bounced up again, rubbing through the head of a rebel soldier. The rebel's head shattered with a bang, and blood mixed with the brain, splashing the officer's body.
Chapter completed!
