Chapter 633 The shock brought by the artillery
"Come on!"
Wang Ben sat on the horse's back, his eyes flickering.
"exist!"
A lieutenant stepped forward and responded respectfully.
"Push out the heavy artillery of our Daqin army!"
The corners of Wang Ben's mouth were slightly raised, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
"Yes! General!"
The lieutenant responded, then turned and left.
Soon.
Dozens of soldiers from the firearms battalion pushed out the ten heavy artillery hidden behind the barracks, and lined up in front of the Daqin camp.
In the sky, the sky is clear.
The rays of the scorching sun seem to be able to fill every corner of the earth.
The barrels of each heavy artillery, under the sunlight, are constantly shining with dazzling light.
In the pitch-black muzzle, it looks very dark, but it seems to exude a chilling luster all the time.
After the preparation of the ten heavy artillery pieces, the surrounding Daqin soldiers seemed very excited, and everyone's heart and eyes were full of excitement and excitement.
On the other side of the river, Hannibal and other Carthaginian generals looked at the ten cannons lined up in a row, all showing puzzled expressions.
"what is that?"
Hannibal glanced at the adjutant beside him, and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, but that thing seems to be made of metal. Daqin brought that thing to the battlefield. It should be a war-related machine."
The lieutenant shook his head and said in the same puzzled way.
"Could it be that this is where the confidence of the Great Qin army lies?"
"Is it because of the existence of that kind of thing that Daqin only sent [-] troops to reinforce Rome this time?"
Staring fixedly at the ten heavy artillery in front of the Daqin camp, Hannibal looked a little dignified.
"But general, this time our Carthage army has a full 20 people, and that thing is considered the secret weapon of the Qin army, so what's the use of only so few."
"Let's say it's an army of 20, I'm afraid even facing the [-] army you sent out, that thing can hardly pose a threat."
Hearing Hannibal's words, the lieutenant said with a bit of sneer.
"We have never seen this kind of thing before, and it should be the latest invention of Prince Yingyu of Daqin.
I just don't know if it is Daqin's secret weapon as we guessed, and what power it has, but it should be extraordinary. "
Seeing the sudden morale victory of the Qin army, and the unknown thing that suddenly appeared in front of the Qin army camp, Hannibal looked very dignified.
"Send the order down and ask for help from the besieged vanguard immediately."
At this moment, the fighting power displayed by the Great Qin soldiers made Hannibal feel uneasy.
It's only been a while, and more than half of the [-] vanguard troops he sent out have suffered casualties.
"Yes! General!"
Following Hannibal's order, the lieutenant responded with some helplessness.
Everyone present understood that the [-] pioneers who were besieged did nothing.
However, they had to save them. If they gave up the vanguard in this way, it would deal a devastating blow to the morale of the entire Carthaginian army.
Because even if they knew that Daqin might still have an ambush, they could only bite the bullet and rush forward.
Seeing more and more reinforcements from Carthage, Wang Ben sneered.
"Pass down the general order, fire!"
Following Wang Zhe's order, the Daqin soldiers standing next to the heavy artillery all had a icy look in their eyes, and immediately ignited the fuse of the heavy artillery.
Amidst the chirping sound, the fuse brought out a long series of dazzling sparks, which shortened rapidly until they finally sank into the heavy artillery.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Suddenly, a deafening bang resounded above the battlefield, constantly echoing in the sky.
In the pitch-black barrels of the ten heavy-duty artillery pieces, there were flames radiating like fire snakes.
Under the action of gunpowder, the shells in the barrel of the gun were pushed away from the barrel and sent into the sky, drawing one arc after another in the air.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The cannonball lifted into the air, like the huge roar of a thunderstorm, and exploded again!
The next moment, one after another flaming cannonballs, like popular ones, with red flame tails and a destructive aura, cut through the air and landed on the heads of the Carthaginian soldiers on the river bank!
"Ahhh!"
"my leg...."
"..."
Immediately, there were horrified yells, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of the wounded, and there was a lot of noise, which was soon drowned out by thunderous artillery fire.
Daqin soldiers kept loading shells and lighting fuses.
One after another, from the barrel of the gun, they kept hitting the reinforcements of Carthage with dazzling flames.
The deafening roar that resounded through the sky continued to echo in the sky.
Cannonballs, wrapped in terrifying power, fell into the army formation under the terrified eyes of the Carthage soldiers.
Each shell can take the lives of dozens of Carthaginian soldiers.
After only a short break, the follow-up troops supporting the Carthaginian vanguard on the river bank were already defeated.
All the soldiers from Carthage who came to support were running wildly at this moment, fearing that in the next second, they would be torn apart by that unknown force.
And the Carthaginian generals who were paying close attention to the battle were also stunned at the moment, looking at the scene on the other side of the river in horror and disbelief!
"This...what the hell is this!"
A Carthaginian general trembled and asked a difficult question.
But no one answered his question.
Because the shock that the scene just brought to them was too great.
At this moment, the hearts of all Carthaginian generals and soldiers, including Hannibal, were filled with shock and fear.
"Daqin, how could he have such a terrifying weapon?"
"This power is simply heaven's wrath!"
Hannibal's face was also a little pale, his throat wriggled with difficulty, and he spoke in a trembling voice.
Anyone can hear the panic and fear contained in his words!
"General... General! Looks like I was wrong!"
"I didn't expect Daqin's secret weapon to be so terrifying!"
"It's no wonder that we have an army of 20 in Carthage, but Daqin only sent 5."
"If we have such terrifying weapons, why not take down Rome, and even the entire Western Regions will become ours!"
At this time, the deputy general remembered what he said just now, and he was already very annoyed and regretful.
He originally thought that there were only ten heavy artillery, which would definitely not be able to cause the slightest damage to Carthage's 20 troops.
But what he didn't expect was that just a few rounds of attacks by just ten heavy artillery can kill hundreds of Carthaginian soldiers, and even severely damage the Carthaginian soldiers who came forward!
With such a sharp weapon, even if Carthage had an army of 50, it might not be the opponent of Qin's [-] army!
