Turbulent Times Chapter 1562: Efficacy test of new weapons of the Far East Army

Shen Yi'an, the councilor on the watchtower at the forefront on both sides, sent someone to send information - Li Shentong's side had already started building a camp behind.

"If this battle is delayed, Li Shentong will build a camp nearby. Once there is a camp of the Li family's army near our camp, it will affect the follow-up plan. And as long as the Li family's army is nearby After repairing the camp and then launching an attack on us, it saves the physical energy to trek for several miles. If Li Shentong can think of this, he can be regarded as a good general." Wang Junlin looked at the information sent, and consulted for the people around him analyzed.

"However, it has been two days since the heavy snowfall, and the weather is freezing cold. With the methods of the Li family army, the camp that can be built is probably not enough."

After sending out a few groups of light cavalry, and paying more than a thousand damages to test at a slow speed, they have found three passages facing the Central Army of the Far East Army, each with a width of more than three feet. If they were all dug into horse pits, although they blocked the opponent's attack for a while, wouldn't they also imprison themselves in it.

What's more, what Wang Junlin wants is the opponent's attack after attack. And if there were no these three passages, Li Shentong would definitely try to fill in these traps while building the camp today. But with these three channels, Li Shentong must try it no matter what. He always believes that without these powerful long-range attack weapons, the Far Eastern Army is definitely not their opponent in close combat.

What Li Shentong didn't know was that his idea was exactly what Wang Junlin led the Far East Council to analyze and wanted.

Li Shentong first dispatched three thousand cavalry, all of which were armored, and their helmets were similar to those of the Far East Army, able to protect most of the face, and the heads of the horses were also protected by iron armor, which seemed to Wang Junlin already Not much different from heavy cavalry.

This is obviously built to imitate the armor of the Far Eastern Army.

Amid the orders of the general of the three thousand cavalrymen, all the three thousand cavalrymen pulled down their helmets and visors.

The ground suddenly trembled, and the momentum of the charge of the three thousand heavy cavalry was not even much weaker than that of the previous twenty thousand light cavalry.

With the defense of these three thousand heavy cavalry

Armor, crossbow bolts and steel string bows, and large killers with a hundred shots of crossbow bolts are not very effective, but giant crossbow guns and trebuchet gunpowder packs are enough to deal with it. There is still no need for the Far Eastern Army to send cavalry to fight against it in close combat.

In the legends of the Hedong and Guanzhong areas, the armored cavalry of the Li family army are devil-like existences, cruel and ruthless, brave and good at fighting, and invincible.

However, the three thousand armored cavalry of the Li family army were once again turned on their backs by the understated attack of the Far East Army.

The Far Eastern Army didn't even use a trebuchet to launch gunpowder packets, but concentrated five giant guns and crossbows on each passageway. What chilled the heart of all Li Jiajun was that the five crossbows fired by this giant gun and crossbow each time seemed to have almost no interval.

Li Shentong, whose face became extremely gloomy again, carefully observed through the captured binoculars and found that there were wheels under the giant guns and crossbows of the Far Eastern Army. At the same time as pulling, five giant crossbows with already loaded crossbows were quickly pushed up from the side compartment and fired again. The speed of winding this giant gun crossbow was the only one Li Shentong had ever seen in his life.

However, Li Shentong did not know that this kind of giant gun and crossbow is the latest research and development achievement of the Yancheng Weaponry Production Base of the Far Eastern Army. operator.

This is the innovation brought about by science and technology to weapons and equipment. It quietly improves the combat power of the Far East Army. Fang forces.

You should know that this is just a simple gear knowledge in physics, put it in a very simple winder in later generations, and after it is divided into two groups reasonably, it can make the shooting of the giant crossbow almost never stop.

The huge vibrating sound when the giant gun.crossbow is fired and the piercing sound of the crossbow.gun. Even in the howling of tens of thousands of Li Jiajun on the opposite side, the sound of three thousand heavy armored cavalry charging, and the screams of horses being pierced by crossbows and guns flying up and down, they were still clearly audible.

This voice is destined to make all the soldiers of the Li family army, including Li Shentong, unforgettable.

Conceived, but only if they can live longer.

The three passages were full of armored cavalry and tall war horses, some of them screamed, wailed, and groaned while twisting and climbing, and more of them had already turned into corpses. They had only been able to reach about a hundred steps away from the Far Eastern Army's battle formation recently, and it was difficult for them to advance even half a step.

The stringing hand winds up, the loading hand places the crossbow. Gun, the firing hand aims at the enemy and fires. Two soldiers specially push the gun. Crossbow machine to move, and then hand over the gun. Crossbow machine, another squad repeats the same process.

The operation process of this set of giant guns and crossbow shooting has been trained very proficiently in normal times. Every soldier performs his own duties. The skilled operation shortens the time to the extreme. The three-foot-long crossbow and gun are fired accurately, and even armored cavalry can shoot through two or three people.

Although the 30,000 armored cavalry of the Li family army have high defense and can ignore ordinary bows and fast crossbows, they still have no power to fight back against giant guns and crossbows.

Although the 3,000 armored cavalry were extremely brave and not even afraid of death, they still failed to change the fiasco in the end, leaving behind the corpses of 1,600 or 700 cavalry and horses, and then retreated in embarrassment. But even these more than a thousand cavalry who fled back were almost all wounded.

The guns and crossbows stopped firing, and the bowstrings stopped ringing. After the short confrontation, everything returned to calm before the Far Eastern Army's middle army.

However, on the three passages, there are still some cavalrymen of the Li family army who were seriously injured and survived, twisting and howling. Then Wang Junlin gave an order, and dozens of recruits with knives and axes ran over and hacked all of them to death one by one.

Watching this scene, Li Jiajun was furious, but no one dared to go up and **** his comrade's body back.

The endlessly terrifying and sharp long-range attack weapons of the Far Eastern Army completely terrified and stunned these elite soldiers of the Li family who had experienced many battles.

What they don't know is that this is the first time that the Far Eastern Army has used such a large-scale weapon on the battlefield after a new round of weaponry innovation, and they just happened to be the targets of these new weapons' effectiveness tests on the battlefield, and from the effect From the look of it, the power of this new weapon is very good.
