Chapter 314 The original artillery battle
The Spanish artillery was indeed well-trained. After three rounds of test shots, the accuracy of the shells was significantly improved.
puff……
A dull sound came, and a big hole was made in the hull of the unsolid sand ship, causing a panic call. The sand ship did not belong to the naval sequence, and the sailors who were carrying the boat had not received harsh military training. After the sand ship was hit, the sailors fell into chaos. Some hid behind the shelter, some began to block the hole in a hurry, and some even ran around, making sharp calls...
Bang……
Another shell fell on the deck of the sand ship, and the huge impact force suddenly made a huge hole on the deck. Two Dragon Guard soldiers had no time to hide, and were stabbed by flying wood chips and fell into a pool of blood...
The shells were pouring like rain, constantly pouring into the sand boat, causing waves to be stirred up around the sand boat, causing great psychological pressure to the soldiers of the Long Guard.
What's even worse is that a shell happened to hit the pier that had just been built, overturning the already shaky pier into the water. A thunderbolt cannon happened to fall into the water and suddenly fell into the water, causing waves, disappearing into the water, and losing trace!
The soldiers of the Dragon Guard were furious and let out a wave of beast-like howling...
Di Wei's heart was also bleeding, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Of course, he knew the Spanish's plan that they wanted to bombard the sand ships, force the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army to attack regardless of their losses, and then use dense muskets to give the Dragon and Tiger Army huge damage!
Di Wei gritted his teeth tightly, and blood almost oozed out of his gums.
At this time, he had to calm down. He made a decision in an instant: get close to the Spanish large array and bombard the dense queues to see who can consume more energy!
The rumbling drums came to an abrupt end. The Dragon and Tiger Army stopped moving forward when they were more than 800 steps away from the Spanish phalanx.
The soldiers of the artillery battalion had already been holding their breath. As soon as they stopped moving forward, they immediately began to aim nervously. With just a command, they poured the flowering bullets of revenge onto the Spanish.
As the battalion commander's flag fell down fiercely, the artillery lit the fuse, and the fuse made a hissing sound. This sound was no different from the most wonderful music in the world to the artillery.
Boom...boom...
Twelve thunder sounded almost at the same time. In the dazzling flames, shells flew out from the muzzle and roared into the Spanish right-wing army formation.
A distance of more than 800 steps was reached in a flash. After the shell hit the ground, there were waves of violent explosions, pouring countless shrapnel on the Spanish's heads.
Only eight flowering bullets were successfully detonated, but they brought devastating damage to the Spanish phalanx!
Sharp shrapnel flew around, countless arms were cut off, countless bear waists were cut off, and countless heads instantly broke away from the body...
This is the slaughterhouse, this is hell!
The right wing of the Spanish big array immediately fell into chaos. Countless soldiers were overturned to the ground and kept struggling and shouting; some uninjured soldiers were completely scared, threw away their weapons, made sharp calls, and ran around the array...
More soldiers were almost frightened, their faces were pale, and they completely lost their ability to think, just like wooden stakes, standing upright.
In less than twenty seconds, another round of whistling of shells came, and the flowering bullets poured on their heads again...
Delibes was the commander of the entire legion. He was also frightened by the power of the flower bullet and his mind was blank. He did not wake up until the second round of artillery attacks began.
I was sober, but it was the first time he saw this thing in Blossom. He was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the current situation.
Suddenly, he remembered a sentence: When you don’t know how to deal with it, just attack!
"Go forward!" a hysterical roar came from Delibeth's throat.
Delibes' choice was obviously correct. After the current order was issued, the soldiers were no longer afraid. Even the most miserable right wing barely recovered its formation and began to approach the Dragon and Tiger Army step by step.
Maintaining the formation obviously had penetrated into the bones of Spanish soldiers. Even if they were extremely urgent, they did not rush towards the Dragon and Tiger Army at all costs, but always lined up in an orderly manner and pressed towards the enemy step by step.
Although this speed is not as fast as the charge, it is definitely not slow.
It is better to cut one finger than to hurt one!
This concept has penetrated into the bones of Di Wei and all the soldiers, including the soldiers of the artillery battalion.
They placed their targets on the Spanish right wing and never changed the target until the right wing completely collapses!
The violent explosion still followed the right wing of the Spanish phalanx, exploded in a dense queue, constantly sending Spanish soldiers to hell.
The artillery battalion kept adjusting the elevation angle, accurately calculating the advance amount, hoping to accurately shoot the shells into the square array. However, the effect of these shells was obviously not satisfactory. It would be great if the shells either flew in front of the array or after they flew into the array.
Such a hit rate still makes the right wing of the Spanish phalanx extremely sparse. The usual dense and neat spear formations look a bit sparse. The soldiers seemed to have just emerged from the fire, smoky and terrible.
However, all soldiers, including the right wing, are still moving forward and still line up neatly according to the usual training habits! The Spanish phalanx traverses Europe, and its military discipline and training are indeed not empty.
It is almost more than two hundred steps apart and has entered the range of the Spanish heavy musket.
Di Weijue did not stand and was beaten, waiting for the Spanish phalanx to approach. He believed that the brave ones who meet on a narrow road win!
After colliding with the Spanish infantry regiment once at Chenjia Manor, he had a personal understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the Spanish military formation. He knew that once the spear formation launched a charge, its impact force was not a flexible Dragon and Tiger Army formation, and to break through the spear formation during the attack, he had to attack sideways! Moreover, he also knew that once the Spanish musketeers entered the firing state, the density of their bullet rain was not comparable to that of the steel crossbow of the Dragon and Tiger Army. They shot against each other within the range, and the Dragon and Tiger Army was obviously the Dragon and Tiger Army.
"Assault!" Di Wei had a calm face and his right hand suddenly fell from mid-air, ordering him.
In the Dragon and Tiger Army, a tsunami shout suddenly broke out, and the soldiers ejected from steel like blocks of steel. The Spanish army launched an attack.
Among them, the second battalion was located on the left wing, and they actually ran a diagonal line and went around the right wing of the Spanish square, trying to attack the square, which had been reduced by a quarter from the side.
