Chapter 167 The Time Traveler and the Son of Version
what……
Ah this!
What the hell is this?
Why did the Qin army's weapons change again? How come they always managed to come up with some bizarre and strange gadgets?
what?
The ancient version of the "mortar"...the tiger squat cannon!
The difference between this thing and a cannon is that its range is very short and cannot compare to a cannon.
However, it has a bright spot: it can shoot steel balls! When fired, the bullets spread out in a flat shape.
It can be said……
Its appearance is an advancement of the Qin army. It is used to prevent you from fighting me in a "line-up shooting" manner.
Seeing this large-scale, free-of-charge spraying of steel balls, people in the front row fell down in rows, and the unlucky ones standing in the center were even worse off!
After being hit by a cannon, he was turned into a hornet's nest!
The entire Second Qi Army was in a panic, and everyone began to panic and become restless.
There's a saying in the West that goes, "In this era, only the bravest and most disciplined armies dare to resort to line-up executions, and only those who dare to advance step by step under enemy fire and musketry..."
How could a group of surrendered prisoners have such determination to face death calmly?
"Wu Hai!"
Seeing that the phalanxes at the front were beginning to panic, Bochijin knew that if he didn't break out of the final blockade distance, the morale of the soldiers at the front would soon collapse.
They had the advantage in numbers, and the best way to defeat the Qin army was to rush across the range of both sides' artillery, either using muskets or hand-to-hand combat.
Following the order from the Sixth Prince Bochijin, his personal guards in the rear acted as supervisors, urging the soldiers in the front to launch a "death charge"!
"Kill!"
"Brothers, charge!"
The soldiers of the Second Qi Army shouted after receiving the order. The soldiers in the front row raised their shields to cover the musketeers and archers behind them and launched a desperate charge!
They tried to rush to close range and suppress the enemy with bows and arrows, and finally the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
pity……
The Qin army will not give them a chance!
Li Jize, who had been riding on a warhorse and observing the battlefield with a monocular telescope in his hand, saw that the other party was going to go all in!
He held the telescope in his left hand and made a gesture to the "flag signalman" next to him with his right hand, and the flag signalman waved the flag along with him.
Something unexpected happened on the battlefield ahead!
Then I saw two teams of soldiers coming out from the Qin army musketeers at the back. The soldiers in the front team did a horse-studding gesture. What did the soldiers at the back do?
They were carrying an incredibly huge musket in their hands!
For this thing, the soldier at the back is responsible for firing, and the soldier at the front acts as the gun rack!
That is to say...
The huge musket, which required two people to operate, was aimed directly at the soldier in front who was holding a shield and charging.
Accompanied by a loud "bang"!
What shocked everyone was that the shield was penetrated directly from a distance of 500 meters!
Whether it was the shield soldiers or musketeers in the rear, they were penetrated continuously and fell down in large numbers.
Bo Chijin, who had also been watching the battlefield, could not help but curse "Mala" (barbarian language for beast!)
What on earth is that thing? Why does it have such an exaggerated range and such strong penetrating power?
Bo Chijin knew that the musket was very powerful, but he never expected it to be so powerful!
But the troops had already charged, and they couldn't retreat at this point. Any retreat would trigger a chain reaction. He could only urge the soldiers on! Charge, charge, charge! Keep charging!
The best thing is to rush forward, engage in close combat, and then suppress the enemy with bows and arrows from the back row.
But next...
Li Jize's Qin army phalanx made them know directly what despair was and what it meant to be at a loss!
The soldiers adapted from the Beggars' Camp did not have swords and shields in their hands, but they had exaggeratedly long spears.
The spearmen stood directly in the front row, forming an exaggerated "thorn wall", while the Qin army musketeers in the back row started firing bursts.
Originally this move was intended to be used against cavalry, but the barbarians loved charging so much that we had to use it on them first.
Li Jize's Qin army used red cannons to bombard from a long distance, "mortars" for medium and long distances, and raised their guns at medium distances! If you haven't collapsed yet and still want to rush forward, you will be shot by the musket team.
This way you won't die! If you can get close enough, the spearmen will form a wall in front of you.
Just like this, there was a set of cannon attacks, followed by small cannon attacks, and after the small cannon attacks, they raised their guns, and after the guns were fired, they fired muskets, and after the muskets were fired, there were spearmen!
Those who can break through these layers and survive are not just lucky, they must have ancestors who have been good people for ten generations!
Actually, it's not difficult to break Li Jize's phalanx. You have artillery, just bombard it! The more the enemy prefers to form dense phalanxes, the better the killing effect.
But sorry...
The barbarians had no cannons! The Great Qi hadn't had time to forge any either!
This phalanx was absolutely invincible in the era of cold weapons.
Many of the Second Qi army were either killed by the enemy's firearms, or pushed forward by the supervising team behind them and their companions who were unaware of the truth and rushed forward, and were stabbed to death by spears!
The archers in the rear wanted to rush forward and fire two volleys, but when they rushed forward, they found that the front row had all been killed, and it was their turn to face the Qin army's muskets and artillery! Or the front row who had survived by chance turned around and ran back.
If an ADC loses the protection of tanks and supports and stands in the front row, the consequences are naturally predictable.
Seeing that there was only one round of fighting ahead, the Erqi army collapsed, and Bo Chijin was so angry that he started cursing!
The fighting capacity of these Qi people is really worrying! They are simply a bunch of good-for-nothings!
Of course, if they were really fierce, why would they surrender to the barbarians?
When Bochijin saw that he could not fight any further, he decisively ordered to "retreat"!
As the order to withdraw was sounded, the soldiers finally began to retreat one by one as if they had been pardoned.
The general next to him asked Li Jize whether to send cavalry to attack!
Li Jize looked at the current battlefield and could not find any opportunity to attack. He had to admire Bochijin's command ability.
Defeated! They retreated at the perfect time.
"A retreat is a retreat, a rout is a rout! Aside from the part that got shot in the face of direct combat and is a bit panicked, everything else is normal!"
Li Jize put down the monocular telescope in his hand and replied with a bit of regret.
The meaning is very clear, it's a bit regrettable that Bochijin is not a fool like Wang Zhonggan, he is a natural leading general.
He wasn't a gambler, he wouldn't lose his mind. He knew to call it a day when he lost, and to raise his bets when he was lucky. Furthermore, he was always just right, impartial, leaving Li Jize no room to exploit.
Looking at the orderly retreating formation, Li Jize couldn't help but sigh! If he wasn't a time traveler who mastered thousands of years of scientific and technological knowledge, Bo Chijin would definitely be the "son of this era" and would have no problem conquering the world.
