Chapter 525

The sun was still hidden behind the dark clouds, and there was still no intention of showing his head. The north wind whizzed past, blowing on people's faces with faint pain.

On the northwest corner of Kaifeng City, the front of the vehicles of the Xuanzhen North Road Army was filled with smoke, but there were flashes of fire, and rockets trailed their tail flames and roared towards the bandits behind the hungry people.

At this time, if one looked down from the sky, at a distance of about [-] steps to the south from the position of the car formation, there were traces of smoke, like a big dome, left by these rockets.

Each chariot is equipped with two boxes of rockets, and each box is equipped with a hundred rockets. In this way, twenty chariots have four thousand tigers rushing to the big rockets, and they roar and fly towards the bandit array.

Not to mention how much damage it can do, just say that this aura has already shocked the hungry people and bandit soldiers in front of the chariot formation, they have never seen such a formation before.

Not to mention these hungry people and the newly recruited bandits, Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others who were commanding and watching the battle behind the battlefield were also shocked.

Even the chief sentinel Liu Zongmin and his nearly [-] horse thieves, who had gathered outside the distant battlefield, were terrified. They secretly rejoiced that they did not charge at this time, otherwise it would be impossible to escape their lives under such artillery and rocket bombardment.

"Master Tong, this chariot is firing hundreds of cannons and rockets, it's so powerful!"

Tong Shoushan, who had already belonged to the thief, glanced at Bao Jiqiang next to him, and said with some disdain: "Huh, you kid, open your dog's eyes and take a closer look. There are still many chariots on both sides of the big cloud of smoke that have not moved. From my point of view , the power of the army's chariot formation is at most half revealed."

A little leader next to him continued, "Master Tong, do you think Master Liu, the chief sentinel, will call us to attack?"

Tong Shoushan glared at him, and said angrily: "Stupid bastard, I can see that the army's car formation still has more power, and it only has less than half of the firepower, so we dispersed the hungry people and drove our infantry battalion away." Beat it to pieces.

We are all prince Chuang's precious lumps, why would we be asked to die again! "

…………

"The third row...shoots, the first row moves forward..."

The sound of swan horns sounded in the car formation, and there were bursts of popping bean-like "cracking" non-stop, and three consecutive rounds of intensive firecracker salvos were fired quickly and neatly, not inferior to the Those gunfire soldiers in the infantry battalion.

There are ten sergeants in each of the carts in the car camp, except for one batter, one deputy, and three gunners. There are five more people in each cart, all equipped with firecrackers, and they must also learn the art of fighting with swords, shields, guns and sticks.

The chariot is equipped with 20 sergeants, which are divided into two teams of Zhengqi, of which the Zhengbing team consists of two batters and deputy batters, six gunners, and two rocketmen; Bird gunners and killers who practice guns, sticks, knives and shields, their duty is to protect the safety of vehicles, they are full-fledged soldiers.

Because this side is the focus of the chariot formation defense, as many as [-] out of the [-] chariots of the chariot department are arranged here, and there are nearly [-] chariots on this side, so there are gunmen themselves. More than [-] people.

What's more, Chen Shihu, a guerrilla in the Beijing camp, still has more than a thousand blunderbuss soldiers, and almost all of them are deployed on this side now. More than 500 blunderbuss soldiers form a triple formation, with [-] soldiers in each row.

Although the [-] musketeers in each row could not be arranged in a dense array because of the artillery equipped on the chariots and carriages, the salvo of [-] musketeers was astonishingly powerful on one front.

Even if the misfiring rate in the center reached one-tenth or two, but under the blessing of artillery and rocket salvos, only two rounds of firecracker salvos, and those hungry people who rushed over had collapsed.

In fact, these hungry people were forced by the bandit soldiers to rush forward. After all, the bandit soldiers behind them were slashing and stabbing with real knives and guns.

After all, there are officers and soldiers on the side of the chariot formation. Although they are fierce, and even many officers and soldiers have the habit of killing people and pretending to be meritorious, the threat of bandits behind them is real.

Whether the officers and soldiers behind the chariot formation is a Bodhisattva or a devil is unknown now, at least there is still a distance before they can be threatened by the officers and soldiers behind the chariot formation.

The people are like this, as long as they have a little way to survive, they will not resist. After all, they have been tamed for thousands of years without a trace of temper.

But when the officers and soldiers in the chariot formation threatened them more than the bandits behind them, they would instantly forget the fear the bandits brought to them, and turn around and rush back without hesitation.

But nearly [-] hungry people crowded together, the old and the young. The front row fell down. The second row was threatened and turned around and wanted to run back, but the third row hadn't reacted yet.

The hungry people in front immediately crowded together, and with the second round of firecracker salvo, another row of hungry people fell to the ground in front. At the same time, the iron cannons and rockets flying in the sky brought them more for real fear.

After the crowding, the hungry people left three or four rows of dead bodies in front of the car formation, and then turned and fled in all directions. The bandits behind them stabbed with knives and spears, and the archers kept shooting deadly arrows.

But compared with the sharp volleys of guns from the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, the deafening "rumbling" cannons, and the iron cannons whizzing past in the sky, it seems insignificant.

Especially those rockets piercing the dark sky with brilliant tail flames, the sound of "呃味味呵" they pierced through the cold wind and whizzed past was even more ear-piercing.

How many hungry people, even after a few years, can't forget the big rockets flying all over the sky and roaring "呵呵呵" every time they think back to today.

…………

Liu Chengzu lay down on the ground with dull eyes, no trace of panic could be seen in his eyes, let alone a trace of anger.

If it wasn't for the fact that his nose was still breathing white air, and his back was still heaving, he would have seemed dead to outsiders.

Just now, he was carrying his youngest daughter, leading his eldest son, and supporting his wife as he staggered forward. He was walking on the road to die generously. His heart was already full of despair. We are reunited, and the children will not suffer!"

But suddenly there was the sound of "rumbling" guns, and he had forgotten everything after being shocked, and he didn't know how to react, followed by bursts of crisp sounds like popping beans.

Fortunately, Uncle Wu is an old man who has lived for decades and has more experience. He had a bad feeling at first, and before he had time to speak, he hurriedly picked up the son Liu Chengzu was holding, and held Liu Chengzu tightly with the other hand, shouting loudly. : "Run... run back..."

In the distance, an archer who had sneaked into the team of hungry people saw that they dared to turn around and run back, so he immediately drew his bow and set his arrows and aimed at Liu Chengzu in the middle.

But before his arrow was shot, a hot black iron ball smashed his head, and continued to fly forward for a certain distance, before landing and bouncing up again, bouncing forward non-stop.

Here, Liu Chengzu stumbled backwards and did not run a few steps. The hungry people in front were like headless flies that had blown up the camp.

In the chaos, Liu Chengzu's wife was knocked to the ground by an old man. He couldn't bear to leave his wife and run away alone, so he came back with his daughter on his back and wanted to help her up, but he stumbled on a dead body in a panic.

Liu Chengzu, who fell down, saw his wife right in front of him at a glance, looking at him with expectations in his eyes, he hurriedly crawled over, but saw that his wife was half-body pressed by two corpses, and he couldn't tell where the injury was. But at a glance, she knew that she had no strength to get up again.

Liu Chengzu hurriedly untied his little daughter from his back, let her lie down in a small pit in front of his chest, and covered the torn cloak full of oil stains on it, he and his wife held hands, the corners of their mouths were exposed. A smile.

However, he never saw that less than twenty steps to the south of him, his son was crying and trying to crawl towards him, but the howling and screaming of the hungry people covered everything.

At this time, an old man who was not strong but looked very powerful rushed over, pressed on the ten-year-old boy, and shouted eagerly: "Siwa, don't call..."
