Chapter 524 Organs
Shao Tingda really frightened the ambushing Burmese army.

They thought that the Ming army was also ambushing them.

The Burmese army ambushing in front did not have the right to attack without authorization. The powerful officer was two miles away from the front line. He didn't know what was going on when the sound of the guns sounded. Only then did they know that although the Ming army had not marched, the scouts had already spotted them.

When he went to the front line and wanted to order a surprise attack, the Ming army in the distance was in full swing, and they had already assembled their troops and set up an army formation.

Immediately afterwards, the cannon sounded.

It's nothing but the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

Shao Tingda gathered his sergeants, but he was a little confused about where to go. There were no lights in all directions, and he was worried that the enemy troops in front would move during this period of time, so he simply sent six of the army and six of his commander's subordinates, a total of twelve tiger squatting cannons. Nailed in front of the formation, blasted towards the left front, front right, and front right.

The logic of Mang Zong is very simple - when the cannon shoots out, he will go wherever he calls.

Scattered gravel was poured into the muzzle of the gun and blasted out quickly, piercing through the forest and beating leaves with a whistling, falling between [-] and [-] steps in front of the formation, breaking through the air everywhere, in exchange for the ambushing Burmese soldiers hit by the scattered stones screaming and screaming everywhere , The silent tropical rainforest suddenly came alive.

It also frightened Shao Tingda, there were screams from three directions all at once, and the strength of the troops was two or three times that of theirs, and it was only within the range, which was very embarrassing.

"Forget it, just move forward, move forward!"

The feather drums are beaten up, and rows of bird gunners are marching forward. In the dark night, the full-screen golden drum does not need a large flag, and the long flag of the chief flag officer is useless, but the small flags of the principal and deputy, and the helmet guns of the preaching officer are still hunting. The flag army went to the battlefield bravely.

The raindrop-like tiger squatting guns did not cause too much damage to the enemy, but the trees in the rainforest had a greater scaring effect on the enemy.

It was also the tiger squatting cannon that let the Burmese army know that their ambush had been exposed, and no military orders were needed at this time, and all the Burmese ambush troops rushed towards the front army of Shao Tingda's troops.

Enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other. The old Burmese guns and bird guns were mixed in their hands. Standing in front of the pawns, they all formed a line formation. Regardless of the range, they fired at the Ming army from a distance, spreading out a large area in front of the formation. Gunpowder smoke; before the gunpowder smoke cleared, countless arrows were thrown by the bow and crossbow team behind the Ming army, making it hard to guard against.

Shao Tingda, who personally led the banner army, was taken aback. It was difficult for him to see gunpowder smoke from a long distance in the dark night. He could only see a blaze in the distance. As a result, even a hair flew to his front, followed by a sparse rain of arrows. Covering a large area, have him chanting for soldiers to dodge feathered arrows behind shield bearers.

Before reaching two hundred paces, the gun on the opposite side was released early!

"forward!"

The rain of arrows salvo was still very threatening even to the Banner Army. Shao Tingda kicked a crossbow bolt stuck on the ground in front of him, raised his sword and stepped forward, while the drums were still ringing, the vanguard Banner Army holding the torch broke off the armor and put it on the ground. The falling feather arrow continued to move forward.

The enemy's crossbowmen's first volley did not achieve results, but the Banner Army of the Mang Chong Division knew very well that if they moved forward, they would really enter the best range of the crossbow.

The flag soldiers holding fire are more careful, and the warriors holding shields are more compact.

The soldiers marched fifty paces, another round of arrows rained towards them, this time not only from the front, but also from the left and right fronts through the forest, the large shield in front of the formation could not stop the feathered arrows falling from above, and the arrows clustered Feng collided with the battle armor Dou Hou and made a jingle, which was either bounced off or directly pierced into the armor.

Casualties remained limited.

The distance between the two sides became closer, and Shao Tingda could even hear the chaotic footsteps of the enemy troops and the generals' loud orders in incomprehensible words.

"There are too many enemy troops, I feel like they are everywhere, let's pull up the arrows of the Shenwei Mechanism!"

Each of the gunmen rested their long guns on their right shoulders with their right hands, as if they were still marching, and there were no roars from all directions.

Among the various military orders of the Nanyang Army, the requirements for gunmen are particularly strict. In their military law, as long as they march, no matter whether there are drums or not, there are only a few postures that can be used. .

Other actions are not allowed.

Because of this, I heard that the new guns of the Nanyang Armaments Bureau have straps, which can be carried on the road, but these gunners who are fighting abroad are very happy.

The distance was still not enough for the Banner Army to release the blunderbuss, but as soon as the drums stopped, the Banner Army stopped and stood in front of them with a large shield to open the brackets. Then the Hercules shield hand stepped back and stood behind the shield to face the enemy directly. The ones turned into rows of blunderbuss players, their blunderbusses were still slung over their shoulders, and what were mounted on their shields were the general flag arrows and small flag arrows.

In fact, these two are a kind of arrows, both are single-barreled rockets, but the size is different, but since the rear army pushed forward, it seems that the arrow carts of hundreds of tigers are different in the past. They are the arrows made by Zhao Shizhen. The whole army of insects is fighting.

Thirteen boxes of rockets, six in each box, Chen Mu originally wanted to casually give this thing the name of the general flag arrow, anyway, the arrow box is either a hundred-step small flag arrow or a three-hundred-step general flag arrow, but Zhao Shizhen must Let this thing be called the Shenwei Mechanism Arrow, and Chen Mu just let him go.

The Nanyang Army was not worthy of this thing in the past, because Chen Mu felt that it was not very useful, but the terrain here was too slow for heavy artillery. It happened that when Zhao Shizhen went to Nanjing, he sent a letter to the Military Weapons Bureau and sent twenty Shenwei to Malacca. For mechanism arrows, Chen Mu simply ordered one for each of the thousands of households to prepare for emergencies. What's more, the arrow carts can be pulled by animals or pushed by people. You can put something up there if you need to.

But this rocket car is different in Shao Tingda's eyes. This is a real super weapon, no less than Bai Yuanjie's emphasis on Hundred Tigers Running Together when he was a hundred households.

In fact, this is a large "hundred tigers running together - change", once the rocket car is placed in front of the formation, the momentum of the flag army will be different immediately.

Shao Tingda boarded the car himself, and asked the two flag soldiers to help him replace the small flag arrow box in the arrow cart with the general flag arrow.

A rain of arrows spread across the ground, and there were several shouts from a distance. It was obvious that the enemy was preparing to march. Shao Tingda immediately raised a torch and ordered: "Squat on the nail tiger, let go of the general flag and arrows!"

Thirty tubes of small flag arrows were still on the shield, and the six general flag arrows were ignited with Shao Tingda's order. He ignited it, and the six general flag arrows in the wide arrow box followed behind, and many rockets rushed forward irregularly for a while.

Thirty steps away from the direction, it was nailed to the tree trunk beside the road. The gunpowder was not exhausted at the end, and it tried its best to drill towards the tree trunk with the thick arrow shaft, and then exploded with a blast.

More rockets whistled forward along the road with red tail flames, briefly illuminating the Burmese troops marching in the dark, and then exploded in every corner with or without Burmese troops.

The screams were endless, which made Shao Tingda, who was holding the mechanical arrow box, laugh heartily. He quickly put another one in the arrow cart, and laughed loudly: "This is really a weapon for night warfare. It will kill these birds and monkeys!"

　Good morning, happy second grade!
