This word made Liu Yong a little stunned. Zhao Jin waved his riding crop and pointed at the large array of refugees in front of him and said: "They can't win."

Liu Yong didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked around, then at the other regiments and teams. From his companions to the servants below, everyone's faces were anxious and uneasy.

Before Liu Yong could speak, a rapid gong sound suddenly sounded in the refugee queue. As the gong sound continued, the flags mixed in the queue began to wave wildly, and the completed refugee queue began to move forward.

If you form a square formation, you will not move forward too fast, but slowly. In addition to this neat formation, there are also some people running among them. They carry things on their shoulders. Running among them, there are also people pushing carts.

, although they tried hard to cover it with the advancing queue, their traces could still be seen.

Liu Yong frowned and observed carefully. He was wondering what these refugees were. Now Liu Yong no longer dared to despise the other party's actions. This was not a loose mob, but an organized and planned rebellion combined with their religious beliefs.

This kind of fanaticism, as well as Zhao Ziying's military training methods, I'm afraid even the officers and soldiers can't compare with them.

"Let the artillery team come forward and fire when the enemy enters 200 steps. As long as the barrel is not exploded, keep bombarding." Zhao Jin ordered.

Meng Zhiqi, who was standing by Zhao Jin's side, agreed loudly and rode away. The refugee formation was still slowly pushing forward. As the large group marched, Zhao Ziying's panic and anxiety dissipated. Whether he was afraid or not, since the enemy was coming, then

Just get ready to fight.

The eight artillery pieces were dragged down by the horses to the right side of Zhao Ziying's formation, and settled slightly forward. The servants handling the artillery were obviously a little panicked. After all, it was their first time to fight in front of Zhao Jin's eyes.

, it is inevitable to be panicked and nervous, but strict training is still the key after all. After the initial panic, you will soon become proficient.

Unloading the horses that were being dragged, digging the earth to build the artillery array, and then cleaning the barrels and loading ammunition. These processes were all done in a familiar way. Soon the first artillery shell was loaded, and at this time, the refugee array was just starting.

After advancing less than a hundred steps, we are still more than 300 steps away from Zhao Ziying itself. The reason why we can accurately estimate this distance is because there are specialized people who have learned the skills of distance measurement. This is Louis' method. He was in

With the mathematical foundation gained in seminary and on the battlefield, two wooden rulers crossed together and visual estimation can be used to make rough calculations.

The cavalry retreated slowly, and the noise at the top of the city had already disturbed the horses. If the artillery roared, the horses who had never experienced the roar of artillery would definitely be frightened and frantic.

The charcoal fire in the brazier was already red, and the artillery was all ready, just waiting for the refugee brigade to enter the shooting range.

The refugee brigade also saw the muskets and archers in the front row of Zhao Ziying, and then saw the artillery on the side of the brigade. Seeing this, the refugee brigade did not slow down, and still moved forward firmly, but the sound of chanting slogans

They are getting louder and neater. Maybe they have accumulated experience. When encountering such a situation, they only need to keep moving forward. As soon as they get close, these powerful firecrackers and bows will become useless.

When the city gate first opened, the refugee brigade rushed out of the city. The point was that the momentum was overwhelming and scary. But when they entered the position to prepare for the battle, they couldn't rush through the hundreds of steps, otherwise they would be exhausted when they got there.

, out of breath, that is asking for death.

According to those groups of elite godly guardians, the more you are in front of such firearms and arrows, the more you must hold down your position and maintain the formation. Deaths and injuries will definitely occur, but as long as you can close enough distance, the previous

The casualties can be recovered a thousand times a hundred times.

Although the dark artillery looks making people feel guilty, some people who have seen the artillery keep encouraging everyone, saying that the army's artillery is thick and big, and can shoot earth-shattering things at a glance, and this Zhao Ziying's artillery

It doesn't look that scary, so its power must be limited.

The leaders who maintained the various formations were even given instructions. Don’t worry too much about the casualties of the young men in front. As long as the long-trained protective army and the demons of Zhao Ziying can come into contact, the brigade can then surround them and fight them.

, the key is to advance to the front, you must get close, and as long as you get close, the Wenxiang Sect has other methods.

"Come on, come on!" Seeing the overwhelming force coming from the opposite side, the servant shouted nervously even though he was measuring the distance several hundred steps away.

"Two hundred steps, it's already within two hundred steps." The servant measuring the range hissed the number.

It seemed that the refugee brigade was also estimating the distance. Just after the number was reported here, several groups of refugees suddenly accelerated their pace and moved forward quickly. Because of this sudden acceleration, the already irregular formation became even more scattered.

Just under the cover of these groups of refugees, the carts filled with materials and the people carrying handbags behind them began to run forward quickly, not knowing what to do.

But no matter what they did, it didn't matter anymore. Just when the refugee brigade began to accelerate forward, the artillery position of Zhao Ziying was already opening fire.

Muffled thunderous sounds sounded one after another, and cannons roared, but they did not attract much attention amid the deafening chanting and slogans.

The artillery, which the refugees thought had limited power, spewed smoke, and two kilograms of lead bullets flew out and fell into the dense queue of refugees.

Nothing could stop the rapidly flying cannonballs. Young Zhuang, who was standing at the front of the Wenxiang Rebellion Army, saw the cannonballs coming. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the cannonballs flew faster than he judged. He only had time to let go.

He opened half of his body, and the other half was directly destroyed by the cannonball.

One person's flesh and blood body could not slow down the power and momentum of the cannonballs at all. The cannonballs fired diagonally directly penetrated this square of dozens of people. Wherever they passed, a fleshy passage was plowed out, and then fell down.

He joined the second team behind and landed in the team, but it was not over yet. The land outside Jining City had already become solid under the repeated trampling. The shells bounced up again after landing. This time they did not fly so high, but

The power was equally irresistible. Many people saw the group in front of them flying with flesh and blood, but they had no time to dodge. The ejected shells were bloody, and many people were blocked and interrupted. Some people were "lucky" to be interrupted.

He lost his legs and feet, but on this battlefield, all he could do was bleed to death.

An artillery shell hit a cart filled with wooden pile materials heavily. The wood on the cart and even the cart itself were smashed to pieces by the shells. The broken wood flew everywhere and penetrated the bodies of many people in the nearby groups. Many people

People fell directly to the ground, and the team collapsed instantly.

Eight artillery pieces were fired at the same time. In just the first round, several groups of fast-running refugees were immediately defeated. The ground was covered with corpses, with pieces of flesh and blood flying everywhere. The deafening chanting chants just now suddenly suddenly became low.

After coming down, the gongs, drums and waving flags in the city also stopped at this moment.

The few teams that rushed forward were defeated, and the remaining people collapsed at this moment. Most of them dropped their weapons and turned around and ran away. There were also a few who wandered around in place, suddenly shouting wildly to Zhao Zi.

The main formation of the battalion rushed over, but as soon as they got within shooting range, they were immediately pinned to death by several arrows. They were so frightened that they went crazy.

Originally, the refugee formation was composed of dozens of square formations, and they just rolled forward and pressed forward. However, the first few teams were defeated. The square formation behind them immediately hesitated to move forward when they saw the fate of their companions in front.

They still didn't know what was happening in front of them, and the large formation, which was not very neat at first, became chaotic and loose again.

Clean the gun barrel with a wet brush, use a scraper to bring out the gunpowder residue in the gun barrel, then use the brush to go in again, wipe away the water stains and remaining debris, and then load the ammunition. At this distance, there is no need to adjust.

To determine the shooting angle, you only need to load a certain amount of ammunition.

There are several sources of artillery servants. Some are self-taught, some are apprentices who cast cannons in the Zhaoziying workshop, and some come from servants and regiment drills. It is the first time to push artillery into battle. The dark crowd on the opposite side is pressing forward. Everyone

They were all nervous, but they had rehearsed the procedures of loading ammunition and firing artillery many times. After the first firing was completed and saw the astonishing damage, everyone's nervousness and anxiety dissipated, and everyone's spirits

They started moving a hundred times faster, so much so that Louis and Meng Zhiqi, who were accompanying the team, had to angrily urge them to prevent their movements from deforming or going too far.

"Come over, everyone, rush forward. Their cannons will be useless. Kill all these monsters by then," someone was roaring.

I even saw several figures wearing armor and riding horses rushing out from the depths of the team, brandishing their swords and shouting: "I will die and become an immortal, everyone rush over, Maitreya will protect me, and enter the Xitian Immortal Kingdom."

After shouting this sentence, the next sentence became murderous: "Whoever hesitates will have his head chopped off."

Halfway through the threat, the sound of artillery roared again. Now the shouts from everywhere have become low. The roar of the artillery can be heard very clearly. After just now, everyone already knows that this low roar is the death talisman of the Palace of Hell. Riding on

Those on the horse didn't pay attention to the shouting, and subconsciously lowered their bodies on the horse, then turned the horse and walked away.

They were all like this, so how could they supervise others? When the others saw the leader fleeing first, their morale collapsed. Who would dare to step forward and risk their lives?

Wanting to fight and run away, no matter how they reacted, human movements could never keep up with the speed of the shells. Eight shells made eight bloody paths in the crowd of the refugee brigade. Wherever they passed, there were death and injury, and flesh and blood was everywhere.

Two rounds of artillery and sixteen shells landed in the dense crowd, killing hundreds and causing nearly a thousand casualties. The efficiency of the shells was very good, but the casualties of more than a thousand were not enough for the Wenxiang Sect's tens of thousands of rebels.

, it was really nothing, but these two rounds of bombardment completely destroyed the morale of the Wenxiang Rebellion.
