Chapter 336: Chapter 226: Jin Ge Iron Horse, Swallowing Thousands of Miles Like a Tiger!_3

The Kidnapper Cavalry also collapsed in an instant, just like the Iron Buddha cavalry.

Originally, the Kidnapper Cavalry had an advantage when fighting against the infantry formations, because the infantry squares were a rectangle or a near square shape, allowing the Kidnapper Cavalry to shoot from the corners continuously, creating local situations of many against few.

But this time, the Flying Tiger Army was arranged in a long line, which meant that the Kidnapper Cavalry could only attack effectively if they entered an area almost parallel to the formation.

Once the Kidnapper Cavalry and the Flying Tiger Army became parallel, the competition was purely about the lethality of the weapons held by both sides.

The advantage of a dense formation in the era of flintlock guns lay in the fact that firing together could maximize the compensation for the low hit rate of firearms, as there would always be someone who hit the target.

Therefore, under a round of intensive shooting, Kidnapper Cavalry also began to fall to the ground one after another.

The torrent formed by three groups of cavalry, like a stream hitting an invisible wall, disintegrated in an instant!

Yet the Jin Army cavalry charge was still not over.

Because, during the Iron Buddha cavalry charge, the cavalry in the rear had no idea what was happening in the front, perhaps they had seen the cavalry in the front fall in swathes, but it was already impossible for them to stop.

On the Flying Tiger Army’s side, they were comfortably taking turns shooting.

These soldiers formed five long lines, with about half a meter separating each line, and each row could fire three shots in one minute, multiply this number by five, and it meant that there was a dense volley every four seconds.

With sufficiently dense formations and close enough distance, they didn’t need to aim carefully or shoot cautiously.

All they had to do was to pull the trigger as quickly as possible at those huge targets in front.

The Iron Buddha cavalry began to fall in large numbers within a fifty-meter range, the front row of heavily armored cavalry rolling on the ground and hindering the cavalry behind them, thus becoming live targets for the Flying Tiger Army.

Conditions were slightly better for the Kidnapper Cavalry, after all, they were light cavalry and not tied together by ropes, they could still run away.

At this moment, the fate of the Iron Buddha was even worse than that of the Kidnapper Cavalry.

After all, in front of a firearm, everyone is equal; no armor is thick enough to stop a bullet, and it only serves to reduce one’s mobility.

In the age of cold weapons, one could often see warriors bravely fighting with their bodies pierced with arrows like hedgehogs, but no one has ever seen a monster that could still hop around after being shot twice.

This was, after all, the ultimate trial, not the Return Order Expedition; the power of demons that could project onto this historical slice was very limited.

So, these Jin soldiers simply had a slight increase in their will to fight, but their actual combat effectiveness did not improve.

And the increase in fighting will turned into a negative state instead.

Yu Jiaxuan, who was standing by with his heavy cavalry ready for action, was completely stunned by now.

Could battle be waged in this way?

The scene unfolding before his eyes was completely beyond his comprehension; he only saw smoke rising from those strange, long spears, accompanied by loud noises, then saw the heavy cavalry almost within reach falling one by one, never to get up again.

At this moment, the feelings of the ancients were like modern people seeing a tank brigade’s steel torrent advancing, only to be annihilated in seconds by a line of infantry armed with anti-material rifles.

There was only one feeling: incredulity!

Even Yu Jiaxuan felt that the heavy cavalry he had brought with him were not at all attractive.

Originally, he thought that heavy cavalry was the most powerful military force in the world, capable of rolling over any enemy effortlessly, but now, putting himself in the shoes of the Iron Buddha, it seemed he was also fated to be unilaterally slaughtered...

As for the old members of the old faction standing on high ground, they were so dumbfounded they could not utter a word.

They couldn’t imagine that the invincible Iron Buddha could be so easily eliminated.

"Sorcery... Sorcery..."

"Could it be that the Heavenly Master has descended to Earth? Turning beans into soldiers?"

Two old ministers of the old faction, with gray hair and beards, trembled as they spoke.

To the people of this era, this didn’t seem like something humans could do; it seemed more like Immortal Technique or Sorcery.

Even Wen Jun was completely stunned, and it was a while before he turned to Wang Wenchuan: "What in the world is this?"

Chuge, posing as Wang Wenchuan, smiled: "This is the new type of fire lance newly developed by the Ministry of Industry."

Wen Jun murmured softly, "New type of fire lance... Such terrifying power..."

Chuge smiled gently and said, "Imperial Censor Wen, at this moment, I would like to ask you a question.

"Can the ancestral laws repel the Iron Buddha?"

Wen Jun’s face changed slightly as he replied, "This is the advantage of firearms; what does it have to do with the ancestral laws?"

Chuge sighed, "This is where you are mistaken, Imperial Censor Wen.

"Do you think that this victory is merely due to firearms? Have you considered how these firearms came to be?

"Behind these firearms lies a full ten years of innovation by the Ministry of Industry. From the research and production of firearms to the training of the army, every link has cost a great deal.

"Without the new policies providing finances for the national treasury, how could we have trained such an army as the Flying Tiger Army?

"Without the Flying Tiger Army, if the Jin Army pushed south, our entire Qi Dynasty would have been engulfed in warfare, by then we would be in a dire situation with ’white bones exposed in the field, not a single rooster crowing across a thousand miles.’"
