Chapter 493: Fire and Rain

"Bang bang bang!"

Under the sometimes bright and sometimes gray sky, the rumbling sound of artillery bombardment rang out endlessly, and Jin Tan led the cavalry on the left wing to run wildly.

Although the charging formation has been spread out as much as possible, some people in the team will be hit by artillery shells from time to time.

Although the armor on their bodies is strong enough and might be able to withstand one or two bows and arrows, the lead bullets fired are extremely armor-breaking. A lead bullet the size of a pebble can dent even the hardest armor.

And the terrifying impact force will cause concussion and damage to the internal organs, so as long as it is hit, it will fall directly off the horse, with almost no possibility of survival.

This is still the hardest armor. If the lead bullet hits other parts that are not covered by hard armor, it will be shot through immediately.

Therefore, during the charge at this moment, blood and minced meat continued to explode in the crowd, and Jin Tan's heart was already in his throat. After all, no one could predict whether the next cannonball would be fired at him.

At this moment, the strong smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed together to form an indescribable smell. It was as strong as substance, like maggots that had rolled out of the decaying rust, constantly attacking people. It penetrates the nose, making people tremble with fear involuntarily.

"Drive! Drive!"

Jin Tan fiercely held the war horse under his crotch, urging it to rush into the enemy camp as quickly as possible. They rushed from the left to the opposite side. From this position, Jin Tan saw that the Shenji Battalion had suffered heavy casualties.

At the beginning, the mission of the Shenji Battalion was to use long-range firearms to contain the enemy, thereby creating opportunities for close combat for the two troops on the left and right. However, now they are quickly defeated at a jaw-dropping speed. At present, they can only Can be used as a target to attract fire.

They had already fired several rounds of shells from less than twenty artillery pieces, but an attack of this magnitude was like a mayfly shaking a tree. The shells they fired were like rocks sinking into the ocean, making no waves at all.

Shortly thereafter, the remaining artillery was either hit and destroyed by stray bullets, or the internal structure was damaged due to the previous rapid movement process, resulting in misfiring and boring. Until now, it can no longer fire a round of artillery shells, and the person responsible for Not even a tenth of the soldiers who fired the artillery fire were left dead, even their whole bodies were gone.

Under this situation, the musketeers had no choice but to huddle in the carriage and move forward bit by bit with difficulty. The only thing they can use now is the matchlock gun in their hands.

On the opposite side, at the forefront of Yan's army, hundreds of artillery pieces of various colors were placed on the ground, and they were still firing at this moment.

At this moment, the main cannon is no longer the Tiger Crouching Cannon, but the Fo Lang Machine and the Dalian Pearl Cannon. In addition to their fast enough fire rate, they can also fire slightly smaller shotguns, and can shoot several in one shot.

"Quick! Quick!"

Rapid roars continued to sound. The soldiers were hot and sweating profusely as they continued to load ammunition into the artillery.

Due to the continuous firing, the entire gun mount was trembling. The boring tube that should have been dark black was now red. As the heat rose, the air seemed to become boiling hot.

Although the artillerymen's ears had been blocked with cotton, the deafening sound still made them deaf at this moment, but the inability to hear the sound did not affect the movements of their hands. The enemy troops were moving forward little by little, and they only needed to move the muzzle of the cannon. Just target their densest crowds.

The fire line was ignited, and with a "pop" sound, the gunpowder filled in the medicine chamber burned violently. In an instant, unimaginable high pressure was violently released, and several lead bullets the size of pebbles were shot out of the boring tube with a "boom" sound!

"Bang bang bang!!"

Like a drum beating faster and faster, a piece of flesh and blood exploded in front of the ear-splitting explosion, and a wailing sound was heard in the blood mist.

The ground was filled with sand and rocks, and the broken body of the war horse lay on the ground twitching and trembling. The blood on the horse's head trickled down and merged with the blood flowing out of the soldiers, making the ground dirty.

The cavalry charging from the left wing had closed the distance. Jin Tan, who had not been hit by the stray bullet, had sweat all over his face. His trembling hands tightly grasped the long gun in his hand. The warm barrel of the gun could dispel the fear in his heart, and The enemy soldiers are very close!

He had no time to care about the cavalry on the right wing that had not yet followed. At this moment, he just wanted to lead the cavalry on the left wing that broke out under the artillery fire and rushed into the enemy camp, rendering their artillery useless and turning this passive battle into a close combat. Fight!

Looking at the enemy tank camp not far away, Jin Tan raised his head and roared out all the anger he had been holding in his chest:

"Rush over!"

"Break their line! Kill!!"

The left-wing cavalry had withstood too many shellings, and people kept dying during the advance. The artillery shells flying through the air were like sharp knives hanging above the soldiers' heads. No one knew whether they would fall on them, and Now that the enemy was in front of them, everyone's veins popped out, and they started shouting to kill with ferocious faces.

"kill!!!"

But no one expected that behind the enemy's chariot camp, the Firebolts had already set up a formation, just waiting for them to approach!

"put!"

Amid the roar, the Firebolts looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and then fired rockets one after another!

"Sususu!"

The battle has been going on for some time, and the sun is gradually setting in the west, so the skylight does not seem too bright at this moment, but at this moment, under the illumination of thousands of rockets, the sky seems to flash in an instant!

The densely packed rockets were like a rain of fire suddenly falling from the sky.

Then they rained down!

"Wow!"

The cavalrymen who were already charging forward desperately were poured on by this rain of fire. The burning breath stung their noses and throats, and what they felt on their heads, body and limbs was a more direct and obvious sting. .

"Ahhh!"

The screams that exploded from the chest and then gathered in the throat echoed across the battlefield in an instant!

The flames burned everything it came into contact with, including the cavalrymen's exposed clothing, hair, exposed flesh, the mane of the horse under their crotch, and their strong bodies.

The ubiquitous flames were like maggots attached to the bones, clinging tightly to the cavalry who were shot, and they were still spreading.

At this moment, the small world on the battlefield fell into a sea of ​​fire, and the people burning in the sea of ​​fire could only struggle helplessly.

Moreover, it seemed that even the air had turned into boiling water at this moment, boiling and spitting out hot bubbles.

But now, in addition to the white smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, there are also countless groups of black smoke rising straight into the sky.

They are created from thousands of living and dead people.

In the sea of ​​​​fire, Jin Tan gritted his teeth, endured the intense burning pain, and broke a rocket that shot into his left arm. He chose to continue charging forward.

On the other side, Jin Zhou had already ran back to Jin Zhengxi.
