A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 901 One Arrow

(I always plan to keep up with the changes. I don’t have time to write all day today. I have to accompany my wife to see the range hood tomorrow. Let’s extend the time.)
The Qinglong Army stood in awe, suddenly there was a drumbeat, tens of thousands of troops shouted like a tsunami, and the astonishing momentum enveloped the surroundings like a dark cloud.

Wen Fangliang's face darkened, and he shouted, "Rocket launch!"

All observers, observers, and rocket commanders of the Light and Heavy Rocket Battalion shouted together: "Rocket launch!"

Each igniter immediately ignited the fuze and fuse of each arrow, and each fire wire suddenly hissed and burned, sparks shot in all directions, and the fuse burned to the end, and suddenly a thick fire was emitted from the tail of each rocket, and then there were large streams of fire. Thick smoke enveloped the area around the rocket launch slot.

With the help of powerful firepower, first one hundred light rockets weighing [-] to [-] kilograms soared into the air. After they flew out of the launch slot, they rotated rapidly under the action of the inclined plate at the tail, and then issued a shriek that broke through the air. Screaming.

Even a salvo of a thousand cannons is not as spectacular as a salvo of a hundred rockets, because a solid iron ball has no fireworks, while a hundred rockets have a long and very charming tail flame in the air, just like falling from the sky Like a shooting star, it gives people an indescribable sense of shock.

They dragged bright flames and screamed in the air, like meteorites falling, whistling and falling towards their target.

Wen Fangliang and the others watched the little orange-red flames fall, like cluster bombs, huge flames and thunderous explosions continuously rose from the thieves array, and groups of flames surged up, and then it was obvious that Fang Lang was running Boar sudden, frightened and chaotic situation.

Obviously, a salvo of only a hundred rockets achieved very good results.

Liu Thief Laoying didn’t eat many rockets earlier, they thought they were invincible with arrogance, but the facts proved that no one could resist the power of this kind of firearm, especially the pseudo-elite people like Liu Thief Laoying .

"emission!"

The hundred rockets had just landed before, and the hundred rockets from the Rocket Battalion behind them fired again.The sky seemed to be dark, and then turned bright, and there was another mournful whistling sound, and hundreds of rockets screamed into the sky again dragging their long tail flames.

"emission!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

The sky is full of trails of fireworks, rockets are raining down, and the flames all over the sky seem to be burning the sky.

The rocket flew by, it looked red like a burning cloud, the sky was full of falling meteors, the thieves were in complete chaos, countless people were running and screaming, this unprecedented power made them terrified, completely Falling into madness and bewilderment.

"emission!"

This time it was a salvo of two hundred rockets.

"emission!"

Heavy rockets whizzed into the sky.

The choking smell of gunpowder smoke was suffocating, and the loaders were all stripped of their arms. They carried rockets one by one, quickly filled them into the launch slots, and then fired them out. The observers occasionally issued instructions to adjust the angle of each rocket launch slot. .

However, in the face of such a large and extensive military target, it does not require much precision, just coverage.

"Meteor call."

Wang Dou looked at the magnificent scene with fascination. This is really a weapon of mass destruction, and the rocket is the natural enemy of a dense army formation.Especially in the face of such a sudden and sharp blow, no army can stand it.

Just like the machine guns of the past, when they were used on a large scale for the first time, hundreds of German troops swept them randomly, and the British army suffered 6 casualties a day.

It is conservatively estimated that if the bombing is good, a hundred rockets will be fired at once, and sometimes it can even cause 2000 or [-] casualties to the enemy. The Qinglong Army fired two thousand rockets in one breath. More than [-] casualties are certain.

This is a great result, after all, the old camp of thieves is very difficult to kill, because they are too good at running.

They may not be able to fight, but their ability to escape is world-class.

Prince Zhu Cihong clenched his fists tightly, his face turned red and purple with excitement.

Chen Xinjia said viciously to Ji Shiwei next to him: "We must build more rockets, one hundred thousand, no, one million rockets."

The rest Hou Xun, Feng Shikong, Lin Rirui and others watched dazedly and sighed in satisfaction.

……

The shrill howling was like a ghost talisman, the ground trembled in the sound of the explosion, and the turbulent air waves filled all directions. There were mules, horses and soldiers falling in the blood everywhere.

Yang Shaofan's face was ashen, he came with a glimmer of hope to expel the Gunnery Battalion, but he didn't expect to get such a result.

Seeing the people around him scurrying around like headless chickens, and his cronies yelling at him, Yang Shaofan put on a cold face and didn't care about anything, so he rode his horse and disappeared into the chaotic crowd.

Old Hu opened his mouth, his right wing is not the area where the Jingbian army rockets are focused on, but it is not that there are no rockets falling, it seems that there is an explosion like a landslide, a crowd of horses screaming wildly, and more and more dense smoke and heat waves can be seen everywhere. The corpses of the soldiers and horses, as well as fragments of armor flags scattered everywhere.

This is the weapon of the Jingbian army. It didn't feel like it was far away before, but now they cover and launch it at close range, it feels like people have entered the purgatory of fireworks.

He and Kong San looked at each other and nodded, Lao Hu confessed to Ba Tiao: "Put up the flag in a while, and then tie a white scarf around your arm, so as not to be killed by mistake."

Then they rode their horses hard: "Drive!"

The most elite fighters of Baiyu Mountain Patrolling Battalion rode their horses towards Dongshengling like a whirlwind. They all had determination on their faces. They were all peripheral members of the development of Kong San and others. Perhaps they had hesitated earlier. However, looking at the current state of the thief, it is [-]% finished. If you don't make meritorious deeds now, when will you make meritorious deeds?

When they rushed to Dongshengling, Li Zicheng was staring blankly at the crying and chaotic crowd in the wilderness, the neighing of wounded horses everywhere, the old battalion struggling to escape everywhere, the corpses of people and horses everywhere, and the black smoke on the ground has not yet cleared. , the sky is again urging the screams to fall.

The flaming meteors that filled the sky even focused on his Zhongquan pro-army, causing them to run wild and howl all over the sky.It's over, his tens of thousands of old camps, it's over, the elite weeded out from the sea of ​​corpses and blood.Perhaps it was a fatal mistake to go out of Beijing to fight, or even come to the capital.

It's ridiculous that I still thought that there was a lot of strength at the beginning, and I was even satisfied with the speed of the army. Now it seems that the Jingbian army didn't use much strength. Maybe they just wanted to get closer.

The collapse of the army is in sight, but Li Zicheng is helpless, he feels desperate, everything is over for him.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded, but it was Li Guo who came rushing, with only dozens of horsemen by his side, all of them in a panic.

He cried, "Uncle, let's go... we'll go back to Beijing right away..."

Liu Zongmin has gone down to command the Zhongquan pro-army, Li Yan is still on the ridge, he looks at the chaotic front below, the cry of landslides, the collapse of the army is in sight, no one can restore their strength Reason and discipline, he said sadly: "Your Majesty, as Bohou said, withdraw your troops and return to Beijing, maybe you still have a chance..."

At this time there was a lot of hoofbeats, but it was Lao Hu and Kong San who rushed over with more than a hundred riders in a panic, Li Guo said happily: "Ta Dilong, you came at the right time, go and pack up the soldiers and horses, and protect the king back to Beijing."

Lao Hu didn't speak, Kong San glanced at him, but said: "Don't you inform Master Liu?"

Li Yan looked suspiciously, and suddenly he shouted: "Be careful!"

Li Zicheng stared blankly, and with a whoosh sound, an arrow shot through his right eye, and blood sprayed out immediately. Li Zicheng yelled and immediately rolled off his horse.
