Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 115 The Prestige of Plate Armor
The dozens of cannons in the military factory did not shoot ordinary solid bullets at the enemy, but blooming shells made by working overtime during this period of time.

Compared with the flowering shells of later generations, this kind of artillery shell has a simpler structure and is easier to manufacture, but it is not as powerful as the artillery shells of later generations.

With the firing of the artillery, when the observers on the tower reported the coordinates, countless shells flew towards Gongsun Kang's barracks as if they wanted to grow eyes.

In fact, there is no need to aim, because almost all of them are enemies outside the city.

And there is no need to worry that the shells will be empty, because 10,000+ people are stationed outside the city, occupying almost all the space outside the city.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Soon, the shell exploded on the ground.

Suddenly, countless screams and panic sounded outside the city.

The difference between flowering bullets and solid bullets is that solid bullets will not explode, while flowering bullets will explode, and will shoot out countless fragments and steel balls.

Within the range affected by the explosion of the flower bomb, as long as it is blown, basically everyone will be killed or injured.

Although this is only the most primitive shell, and its power is not very high compared to later artillery shells, such a weapon is enough to shock everyone, especially the heart.

As the artillery fired, immediately, the barracks outside the city were in chaos.

"Quick, protect the lord and get out of here."

In Gongsun Kang's barracks, a group of people surrounded Gongsun Kang and fled out of the barracks in a panic.

Just now, a bomb exploded less than ten meters away from Gongsun Kang, killing and wounding several of his personal guards.

This kind of situation frightened everyone immediately. No one thought that there would be such a powerful weapon in the Yuyang Military Factory that could hit so far.

The shelling in the military factory was still going on, but Gongsun Kang led his men out of the range of the shells in a panic.

Not only Gongsun Kang was running away, but also ordinary Liaodong soldiers, after seeing all the officials running away, they also ran away in a swarm.

In their view, the barracks are no longer safe.

Moreover, this weapon that can make loud noises left a terrifying impression on them when they were in Leyang City.

Now hearing the sound of this weapon again, many people were demoralized.

An army without morale is very terrible. An army without morale can only exert [-]% to [-]% of its combat effectiveness even if it has [-]% of its combat effectiveness.

In the military factory, countless people standing on the wall looked at each other in shock when they saw this scene.

Ten minutes later, there were basically no people in the military camp in the direction of the shelling, and everyone fled to a place where the shells could not reach them.

Under such circumstances, soon, the artillery in the military factory began to turn its muzzle and blast towards the enemy camp on the other side.

The next moment, the scene that happened ten minutes ago happened again.

Unlike last time, it was the Xianbei barracks that were bombarded this time.

For a while, the sound of people shouting and neighing even overwhelmed the sound of shell explosions.

When being shelled, they behaved almost the same as Liaodong soldiers, and they all ran frantically out of the range of the artillery.

"Okay, well done, hit me hard."

Seeing this scene, Shen Kuo, the director of the military factory, laughed.

"Brother, I have an idea."

Just when Shen Kuo was laughing out loud, a young man came up to him.

"What do you think?" Shen Kuo asked the young man.

"Brother, the enemy escaped from the barracks in a panic, why don't we send people to burn the enemy barracks immediately." The boy said.

Hearing the boy's words, Shen Kuo's eyes lit up.

"good idea."

"Quickly, call Tian Yuan over here, no, I'll go find him myself."

Soon, Shen Kuo found Tianyuan and explained his plan to burn down the enemy camp.

"Take three thousand armored soldiers, and I'll wait for your good news here."

The shelling continued, and after the artillery finished attacking the Xianbei barracks, they turned the muzzle to the other side and aimed at the barracks on the other side to start bombing.

At this moment, three thousand plate armor infantry quickly left the city and headed towards the enemy camp that had fled.

At this time, outside the city and out of the artillery range, all Gongsun Kang's generals were working hard to reorganize the army.

After their soldiers ran out of the camp, they dispersed, and it took some time to get everyone together.

At this time, on the Yuyang city wall, Yang Shen was using a telescope to observe the direction of the military factory almost non-stop. Naturally, Yang Shen on the Yuyang city wall couldn't hide such a big movement in the direction of the military factory.

"The enemy formation outside the city seems to be in disarray, Lord Prefect, let's fight out, we can catch them by surprise." Someone said to Yuyang Prefect Yang Shen.

"Yes, my lord, this is a good opportunity, let the cavalry battalion try it." Others also persuaded Sun Quan.

After hearing the persuasion of his men, Yang Shen thought about it and finally agreed with them.

First of all, the enemies outside the city are indeed in chaos, which is a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

At the same time, he secretly calculated that even if he sent an army out of the city, it would not affect the defense of the city.

"Then let the cavalry battalion go out of the city to try." Yang Shen nodded and said.

The cavalry battalion is also a temporarily recruited militia with relatively good riding skills, and has only been trained for less than half a month.

Fortunately, they can ride horses themselves, plus they have cavalry treasures and cavalry weapons, and they are even equipped with plate armor for defense.

Although this cavalry is small in number, with only more than 3000 people, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

When the [-] cavalry from Yuyang City were about to leave the city and gather outside the city, the [-] plate armored infantry had already arrived at the barracks where Gongsun Kang's soldiers had retreated in the direction of the military factory.

They have only one task, and that is to set fire to the camp.

However, when the three thousand plate armor infantry came out from behind the wall of the military factory, they were discovered by Gongsun Kang's people.

When they arrived at Gongsun Kang's barracks, they were immediately attacked by an army of thousands of people.

This army is Gongsun Kang's central army, which is mainly responsible for protecting Gongsun Kang's safety. Although the entire barracks was in chaos after retreating in a hurry, the central army was the first to recover its combat effectiveness.

In order to deceive others, the Chinese army quietly returned to the camp and did not dare to show their faces for fear of being hit by artillery again.

They waited for the three thousand armored soldiers from Youzhou to arrive at the barracks before rushing out. They believed that as long as they got entangled with the enemy, the enemy's terrifying weapons would not dare to attack.

Their thinking was indeed correct. When they were entangled with three thousand plate armor infantry, the artillery in the military factory did not dare to attack them.

However, they didn't know that they had encountered something more terrifying than artillery.

Bang bang clang clang!

This is the sound made by the weapons of Liaodong soldiers hitting the plate armor.

Puff puff!
This is the weapon of the heavy armored infantry stabbing the body of the Liaodong soldier.

"This battle can't be fought, withdraw, withdraw quickly."

Just a face-to-face meeting, the Liaodong soldiers suffered a great loss from the three thousand plate armor infantry.

They found that their weapons could not harm the enemy at all, but the enemy's weapons could easily cut off their own weapons and armor.

Plate armor, known as a product of untimely birth in history, is the pinnacle of defense in the cold weapon era. The best plate armor can even defend against firearm attacks at that time.

Now, the protection of the plate armor is fully reflected here.

Plate armor is more flexible than almost all armor, and it does not affect the warrior's attack at all.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Liaodong soldiers, the three thousand plate armor infantry were like three thousand demons. They lost the courage to continue to fight against such an enemy after only a moment of fighting.

"Brother, do you want to chase after me?"

Seeing the Liaodong soldiers fleeing, someone asked the leader of the field.

"Chase, beat the dog in the water." Tian Yuan said.

Through the battle just now, he personally felt his strength and the enemy's weakness.

Under such circumstances, he had no reason not to beat up the drowned dog.

"Kill!"

Three thousand plate armor infantry shouted and chased the fleeing Liaodong soldiers.

It was like they were on adrenaline, and they were very excited.

PS: Recommend a book: I have finished reading the book "Hong Kong 1968". It is very interesting and not as ignorant as some Hong Kong novels.
