The first shot seemed like a signal.
Soon, a barrage of shells covered their direction.
“Boom boom…”
Artillery shells continued to explode around the Yu Kingdom cavalry.
The violent explosion instantly threw the Yu cavalry who had rushed into the camp into panic.
Their war horses either ran wildly out of control or let out bursts of mournful cries under the artillery fire.
At this moment, the phrase "people and horses are thrown to the ground" became concrete.
The entire battlefield was filled with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
A soldier was thrown off his horse by a frightened warhorse. Before he could dodge, he was stepped on the chest by the horse behind him.
"ah……"
...
...
The soldiers howled in pain under the horses' hooves.
But soon, their wailing stopped.
As soon as the warhorse in front trampled past, the warhorse behind trampled up.
"puff……"
The soldier spat out a mouthful of blood and no longer had the strength to scream. All that was left was helpless and painful whimpers.
Soon, another warhorse trampled over him.
Finally, the soldier stopped whimpering and could only breathe with difficulty.
It is definitely impossible to survive.
But for the time being, he won't die completely.
Until a shell exploded close to him, his broken body was finally torn apart, and a piece of severed intestine fell on the seriously injured but not dead soldier next to him.
“Ah…ah…”
Looking at the intestines falling on their bodies, the seriously injured but not dead soldiers immediately let out terrified screams.
He tried desperately to get the intestine out of his body, but he was seriously injured and had little strength. Coupled with his extreme panic and fear, he tried several times but failed to get rid of the intestine. He could only scream in fear and try to move his body desperately.
It seemed that if he only moved the remains of his body, he could escape the terrifying bowels.
As he moved with difficulty, a trail of blood and urine was left under him.
This situation continued to happen throughout the battlefield.
Genjiro was luckier.
Although he was slightly injured, it was just that the stones splashed by the explosion were embedded in the flesh, so it was not serious.
The main thing was that he led his troops to the front, while the artillery fire covered the middle of the cavalry.
In this way, those who rush in the front will suffer fewer casualties.
Looking at the battlefield with blood and flesh flying everywhere in front of him, Genjiro's heart twitched and his face was full of horror.
However, Genjiro had been following Minamoto no Nagamasa in battle since he was a teenager, and even though he was extremely frightened, he still tried hard to calm himself.
His eyes were fixed on the fireworks in the distance.
There!
The enemy's terrible weapon is there!
Only by destroying those weapons will they have a slight chance!
"Go! Get closer to me!"
"Follow me!"
"kill!"
Genjiro continued to yell, trying to gather the cavalry troops that had been thrown into complete chaos.
However, his hoarse roar did not have much effect.
He howled for a long time, but only managed to gather a force of less than fifty people.
"Follow me and kill!"
Genjiro didn't care about anything else and could only charge forward with a cavalry unit of less than fifty people.
However, just as they charged forward, a large number of cavalrymen, several times larger than theirs, rushed out directly from the side of the artillery position.
The leader was Qin Qihu, who was carrying a mace.
The two sides were only about a hundred feet apart, and before they could draw their bows and draw their arrows, they collided with each other.
"Get the hell out of the way, this bastard belongs to me!"
Qin Qihu roared excitedly and took a liking to Genjiro at first sight.
There is no other reason, it's just that Genjiro's armor is obviously more advanced than that of other cavalrymen.
Qin Qihu has made up his mind to capture this bastard alive and then skin him alive!
Hearing Qin Qihu's roar, several cavalrymen around him consciously moved away and did not dare to compete with Qin Qihu for the head.
In just a few breaths, Qin Qihu rushed in front of Genjiro.
Without further ado, Genjiro slashed at Qin Qihu with his sword.
"court death!"
Qin Qihu roared and swept out with his mace.
clang!
With a crisp sound, the knife in Genjiro's hand broke into two pieces.
Qin Qihu grinned and cursed inwardly as a fool.
What were you thinking about using a broken knife to clash with your own mace?
He used to play with knives. If this knife is useful, will he change to a mace?
Although Qin Qihu cursed in his heart, he did not stop his hands.
Just when he was about to hit Genjiro on the head with a stick, he suddenly remembered that he wanted to capture him alive.
Realizing this, Qin Qihu quickly moved the mace to the side.
At the moment when their horses crossed, he hit Genjiro on the back with a backhand stick.
"puff……"
How could Genjiro withstand Qin Qihu's brute force? He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse...
On the other side of the battlefield, the guards led by Lin Ji were attacking the enemy's infantry.
Following the Royal Guards were a large number of large infantrymen.
However, they did not charge rashly, but deliberately drove the enemy infantry in one direction.
When most of the enemy's infantry entered the range of artillery fire, Lin Ji immediately led his troops to charge in the opposite direction.
Yun Zheng watched the entire battlefield situation through his clairvoyance.
Seeing that Lin Ji and his men had already rushed in the opposite direction, he immediately gave the order: "Fire!"
"fire!"
Zhao Liuliang roared, and the command flag in his hand fell.
“Boom boom…”
Twenty guns roared.
While these twenty guns were reloading, the other twenty guns roared together.
Next came the twenty more guns at the back.
Artillery shells kept exploding on the battlefield. In an instant, the shrill screams of the Yu soldiers almost drowned out the sound of the artillery fire.
Jia Yao and others looked at the battlefield in the distance silently and sighed in their hearts.
The way of war has really changed!
From now on, the hot weapons that Yun Zheng mentioned will become the protagonists of the war.
The warfare method of cavalry charges and infantry battle formations may soon disappear completely.
Yun Zheng left Qianli's sight and scanned the battlefield not far away with his naked eyes.
Even though blood and flesh were flying everywhere on the battlefield, there was no trace of emotion on his face. He only regretted that the power of their artillery was too small.
If only we could get some TNT!
Also, the caliber of these artillery pieces is still too small.
If it was a four-inch or five-inch gun, the power would be much greater.
However, he believed that they would have a lot of large-caliber artillery in the future.
He even had a name for the future six-inch gun.
"Your Highness, an enemy force is coming!"
At this time, Han Jin came to report.
"Then use them to test the power of that box of grenades!"
Yun Zheng's answer was indifferent, without a trace of humanity.
"Isn't this... a bit of a waste?"
Han Jin looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.
"fine."
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "I just used them to test the power of the grenade! Whether this thing works or not can only be known after it is verified on the battlefield!"
"yes!"
Han Jin took the order and left.
Yun Zheng spoke lightly, but Lun Tai and others around him were frightened when they heard it.
Yun Zheng doesn't even regard the soldiers of Yu Kingdom as human beings!
In his eyes, these people are probably no more important than targets or wooden stakes.
Soon, an explosion sounded not far in front of their formation...
