Chapter 814 Let's Break Out
The sound of artillery pierced the long night with the dawn, and chain bullets whistled and smashed the wall of the village. In just a moment, the camp that Qiyun relied on the most to resist the Han army was easily shattered by twenty spinning chain bullets.
Wood chips and bamboo pieces were scattered all over the ground, and the life and death of the soldiers who were close to it were unknown. The power of the chain bullets was very huge, but because of the village wall, the two offset each other, and the chain bullets that broke through the village wall could no longer cause any harm to the personnel. After many chain bullets hit the village wall, the iron chain in the middle was entangled on the wooden fence, and even the second ricochet did not form. It turned a few circles on the ground and was completely motionless.
But just like this, the Xin tribe clan army, who had just seen the power of artillery, was still scared to death. The grassland soldiers were better in comparison, but only better. Unlike the Xin tribe, they had personally experienced the scene of being brutally abused by the Han tribe's artillery shells. Now they are still scared when they think about it. If the Han tribe had not suddenly offered this mysterious killer, they would not have lost so badly that time.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Some people were so scared that they lay on the ground and howled, some ran around like crazy, and some found that there was no artillery fire in the north and west, so they hurriedly retreated in these two directions.
Qiyun was panicked for a while, watching his soldiers running around, but he didn't know what to do.
But at this moment, the sound of artillery fire at the foot of the mountain had just ended, and a huge roar was heard on the sea behind him. Qiyun lay in the camp and couldn't see what was going on, but then he saw countless small black dots flying from the sky in the north. The small black dots kept making chirping sounds while flying in the air, and the next moment they fell like raindrops.
Chirp-bang-
a shell flew in a parabolic trajectory and hit a rock in the camp hard. The rock suddenly broke into pieces, stirring up countless pieces of rubble to scatter around, causing many clan troops and grassland soldiers who had just run to the north to immediately suffer a wave of severe blows.
However, because they were projectiles with solid bullets, the damage they caused was extremely limited. The shells that fell on the rocks were not bad, as they could break some of the rubble and then bounce up again to injure people. However, the shells that hit the soil, unless they were lucky enough to hit a few soldiers before landing, would just sink directly into the soil without even ricocheting. Such shells had basically no lethality.
However, the successive cannon shots, as well as the rubble and shells flying everywhere, still put a lot of pressure on the Xin tribe camp. It was the first time for them to see such a battle where they didn't even know where the enemy was, and they were hit by a terrifying blow.
Some people were running around in the camp, but they happened to bump into the flying shells and were smashed half of their bodies on the spot. Some people just lay on the ground with a huge wooden shield on their bodies, and those who were lucky enough were basically not hurt.
Qiyun was out of ideas, but the grassland people had experience. They soon discovered that this bombardment was different from the one in Kaiyuan City. During the Kaiyuan City battle, the terrain was flat and the damage caused by the shells was terrifying. One shot could create a bloody alley. The shells could also ricochet after landing, causing casualties to the army many times in a row.
But this time was obviously different. The enemies in the east and south were all using chain shells, which seemed to be just to demolish the village wall. The shells fired by the big ships in the north were too far and too high. When they flew to them, they basically fell vertically. They could only cause a little damage when they fell on the rocks. If they were still crushed to death while lying on the mud, it could only be said that they had bad luck.
So the leaders of the grassland soldiers quickly conveyed orders to the soldiers around them.
"Lie down, lie down, don't run around, stay away from the rocks."
When the grassland soldiers heard their companions' call, they quickly found a muddy ground or a tree to lie down. The clan soldiers of the Xin tribe also lay down with them. The chaotic situation improved immediately. Almost everyone lay down on the ground.
Boom boom boom boom, sixty huge artillery sounds were heard on the sea, one after another, making it impossible to count. When the last one of the first round was fired, the second round of firepower was halfway through. The sound of artillery continued, and the shells flying over the camp never stopped, but now they had no lethality to the Xin tribe's troops.
Soon, the second round of artillery fire came from the east and south of them, and they were still chain bullets.
Seeing the situation in front of him, a grassland soldier leader quickly found Qiyun with a shield, lay beside him, pushed him and asked.
"Chief Qi, the Han tribe is not going to attack us. They want to tear down the camp wall. I'm afraid they will launch an attack soon. Once our camp wall is completely destroyed, thousands of them will rush in all at once. What should we do now?"
Qi Yun thought to himself, "How can I know what to do?" He originally thought that fighting was about both sides positioning their troops, shooting arrows at each other, and then sending troops to fight each other after the arrows were all shot. Who knew that the Han tribe didn't fight like this at all.
"You have fought with the Han tribe before, what do you think we should do now?" Qi Yun was at a loss and asked the leader of the grassland soldiers next to him.
"Well, well, the Han tribe is too powerful, and now we don't have the village wall to rely on for defense. The soldiers are now suppressed and can't raise their heads. Their morale is gone. They will definitely not be able to defeat us. I think, I think we should run first, get rid of them, and then find a place to set up camp to block them, and then ask Commander Xin for reinforcements. We are no match for the Han tribe if we divide our forces like this, we must find more people."
When Qi Yun heard this guy talking about running away, he glared at him, but he also knew that this guy was right. There was no chance of winning a fight with the Han tribe now, and he would die here by then. He is the second patriarch, and he hasn't had enough good days yet, so how can he be willing to die now.
"But now, where can we run? Alas," Qi Yun said suddenly with a sigh.
"There are cliffs and the sea to the north, so we definitely can't go there. The main force of the Han army is to the east and south, so we can't just send ourselves to their mouths. There are only a few people in the west, and there are no weapons of heavenly punishment from the Han tribe there. Let's concentrate our forces to break out to the west . Once we run out, we can just
meet up with the commander-in-chief and ask him to send more troops. We are no match for the Han tribe alone." The leader of the grassland soldiers suggested again. "Well, okay, then let's get up and break out to the west quickly, and hurry up, otherwise the Han tribe will rush over." Qiyun sighed and had to bow to reality.
