Chapter 309: Storming the Jiannu Camp

Daishan's camp is a large phalanx, half of which is made up of dozens of houses in Mafang Village, and the gaps and roads between the houses are blocked with mule-horse carts and horse-rejection horses, and the other half is surrounded by mule-horse carts and horse-rejection horses.

The whole camp was about a mile long and wide, and it contained six thousand soldiers, four thousand Ahabs, and more than 10,000 captive people.

Qinchuan was an attack from the west, focusing on a camp wall surrounded by horses and mule carts.

There were only 1,000 Guan Emperor troops who launched the attack, and Qin Chuan equipped each of them with two layers of armor, one layer of cotton armor, one layer of cloth iron armor that had just been captured in the past two days, as well as iron helmets with tun items, leather arm guards, leg guards, etc., and a wooden shield covered with two layers of cowhide, all of them were fully armored and tightly protected.

In addition, there were twenty large shields that were made overnight to resist the artillery of Jiannu.

In terms of firepower, Qin Chuan gave them fifty tiger squat cannons, four hundred flintlock guns, and Huang Liuxi's fifty sharpshooters with rifled guns, exactly five hundred firearms, five hundred sword shields and spearmen, specially helping gunners and gunners to raise shields.

The remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses set up positions on both flanks to guard against Jiannu's surprise attack from the flank.

Dai Shan also had a lot of firearms, which were captured from the military fort of the Ming army, including two Fran machine guns, both of which were small cannons with barrel lengths of three feet and seven inches, which could fight almost 200 steps, twelve tiger squat cannons, half of two feet and half of three feet, four cannons of the second general and three generals who could only shoot dozens of steps, sixty-seven bird guns, and one hundred and twelve three-eyed guns.

Seeing that Qin Chuan was attacking the west side, Dai Shan hurriedly concentrated his firearms and most of the foot archers on this side.

When the 1,000 Guan Emperor army slowly advanced to a distance of two hundred paces, Dai Shan gave an order, and the two small Furlong cannons poked out of the cracks in the mule cart and erupted in unison.

Two cannonballs pierced the sky and fell into the formation of Emperor Guan's army with a roar.

One of the shells hit a large shield with a loud "bang", and the large shield was unharmed.

Another shell shattered half of the body of one Guan, then bounced on the ground, breaking the feet of two other Guandi.

"Erect a shield wall, evacuate the formation, Huang Liuxi, take your people to knock out those two cannons."

Luo Daniu, who was in charge of the main attack, shouted, and under the command of many officers, the Guan Di army stopped one after another, some of them hid behind the twenty big shields, and the other part dispersed, forming a sparse formation.

Huang Liuxi and his fifty marksmen, either sticking out of the muzzles of their guns through the holes in the big shields, or lying on the ground under the cover of their shields, aimed at the gunners of the two Furlong cannons.

"Team A plays first, then Team B, and so on."

Huang Liuxi shouted, then held his breath and pulled the trigger in his hand.

With a "bang", the cone-shaped lead bullet rotated at high speed under the action of rifling and fired out the muzzle, with a sharp neigh, through the gap between the two mule-horse carts, and accurately hit a Jiannu who was loading ammunition.

The high-speed rotating warhead unscrewed the armor of the cloth iron armor, and after the refraction of the armor, the warhead, which was seriously deformed, penetrated obliquely into the chest of the Jiannu, breaking two ribs and sinking into the beating heart.

The Jiannu fell to the ground on his back, and after a few convulsions, he never moved again.

Almost at the same time, the other eleven rifled guns rang out, and the whistling bullets either hit the grain bags of the mule-wagon, splashing the yellow grain, or piercing the gaps and striking Jiannu behind the mule-wagon.

Only in the first round of shooting, the four Jiannu who were loading ammunition all fell.

Dai Shan, who was pressing the formation behind, changed his face greatly.

According to the defeated soldiers who fled back in the past few days, there are birds in the Qinchuan army that can fight more than 200 steps and are extremely accurate.

At first, he wondered if the routs were mistaken, but now it seems that they were.

I don't know how the surname Qin was made.

"Hurry up, hurry, go get the ammo on."

Shuo Zhen, who was commanding in front, hurriedly made the four soldiers next to him unable to make up for it, and continued to reload ammunition.

However, as soon as the four soldiers went up, twelve more gunshots rang out in the formation of Emperor Guan's army, and three of the four soldiers fell, and one of them turned pale with fright, and ran back with a crawl.

"Idiot! Shield cover, shield cover! Dai Shan in the back was so angry that he scolded.

Shuo Zhi hurriedly found a few more soldiers, covered them with shields, and went up to reload the Furlong cannon. Literature Great

Sure enough, after another round of gunfire, only one of the loaded soldiers fell.

Soon, the two Furlong cannons roared again.

However, the Guan Emperor's troops either hid behind the big shield or scattered, and only one of them was unlucky enough to be wounded in the leg by a cannonball.

"Big bull, the distance is too far to break the shield on the other side." Huang Liuxi shouted to the back.

Luo Da Niu raised his binoculars and glanced at it, then raised his hand and shouted, "Keep going." ”

The 1,000 Guan Emperor army took another step and continued to advance against the two Furlong cannons.

After paying several casualties, it finally advanced to a distance of one hundred and twenty paces.

This distance is the advantage of Emperor Guan's army, because Jiannu's firearms, except for the three-foot tiger squat cannon, the rest can't hit that far, and even the three-foot tiger squat cannon doesn't have much power at this distance.

And the fifty tiger squat cannons of the Guan Emperor Army can still exert a lot of power at this distance.

The most important thing is that the rifled gun at this distance not only shoots more accurately, but also breaks the wooden shield covered with cowhide.

As soon as the team stopped, Huang Liuxi and other marksmen poked out their guns one after another, and divided into four squads to shoot in turn, and the gunfire almost did not stop for a moment.

Under the threat of extremely accurate bullets that could penetrate the shield, Jiannu's gunners fell one after another, and no one dared to probe to reload the ammunition, so they could only drag the cannon behind the grain cart after each shot, and then push the cannon out and continue firing after loading.

As a result, their guns were much less efficient and inaccurate, and many of their hapless gunners were hit by bullets that came through the gaps.

However, this distance has already entered the range of the bow and arrow.

Most of the foot archers in the Jiannu army were concentrated on this side, crowded behind the grain carts.

Dai Shan gave an order, and those foot archers drew their bows and arrows one after another, and thousands of arrows crossed the sky like locusts, falling into the Guan Emperor's army array.

"Raise your shield!"

Luo Daniu saw this scene from the telescope and hurriedly shouted.

Emperor Guan's soldiers raised their shields one after another, and Huang Liuxi and others also hid in the shields that others helped them raise.

In the blink of an eye, there was a crackling sound and a muffled grunt one after another.

Thousands of arrows pierced the shields of Emperor Guan's army densely, and many people had arrows stuck in their bodies, but fortunately they all wore two layers of armor, and those light arrows that were thrown could not break the armor and did not cause any damage.

"Fire!"

Just after the rain of arrows, Luo Da Niu shouted again.

The gunners quickly pinned the Tiger Squat to the ground, took aim, and then ignited the preloaded ammunition.

Fifty tiger squatting cannons roared in unison, and the whistling cannonballs smashed into the defense line of Jiannu, smashing several repulsive horses and two grain trucks to pieces, and also smashing those grains flying all over the sky.

"Raise your shield!"

Luo Daniu watched the other party's actions with the help of the telescope, and as soon as the other party released the arrows, he commanded the Guan Emperor army to guard against the arrow rain.

After five rounds of running, the seven or eight grain trucks in front of the Jiannu formation were overturned, lacking protection, and the Jiannu behind them fell into bad luck, Huang Liuxi and other marksmen shot accurately, so that the Jiannu behind the gap couldn't lift their heads.

The more Dai Shan looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more uneasy he became.

He knew that it was not a way to hold on like this, and when he was completely suppressed by artillery fire, those grain carts and horses could not stop each other.

I'll have to think of something else.
