Chapter 462: Fight to the Death (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
Standing in a communication trench dozens of meters away from the parallel trench, I felt the tremor of the earth when the "gunpowder projectile" exploded as I fell to the ground. Zhao Youshui saw the "gunpowder projectiles" explode one by one, and in the violent explosion, more than hundreds of gunpowder packets flew in an arc mixed with tons of dirt towards Jiannu's position.
In the next moment, the smoke cloud of the explosion covered all Jiannu's positions, and for a while, the sky was dark, and the violent shock wave and dust even reached the traffic trench, and the smoke and soil shrouded Zhao Youshui and his brothers in the traffic trench.
Feeling the choking smoke of gunpowder, Zhao Youshui opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he looked at Jiannu's position with blank eyes.
"My God! Oh my God......"
Looking at the constantly flickering firelight on the Jiannu position, he muttered desperately, his fists clenched, and he said for a while.
"Well, there shouldn't be any living people on this......"
……
There are living people, of course, and there are quite a few of them.
The violent explosion caused by the powder box thrown by the sappers caused great casualties to the defenders, but it was more shocking and caused a commotion in everyone's heart.
The sound of the violent explosion and the shaking of the ground made the green battalion soldiers guarding the long trench all become a little commotion. Some of them knew that the artillery fire of the Ming army was powerful, and there were many powerful firearms, but they did not know how the artillery fire of the Ming army could be so powerful.
In the past two days, many of them, before they even saw the Ming army, were blown up into the sky, and not even a whole corpse was left, in the face of such a tragic situation, each of them would feel frightened, and when everything was over, they were all frightened and pale.
Han Run, who has led the troops for many years, will immediately take his own soldiers to patrol along the long trench after each shelling, and Han Run, who was born in the two classes of North Korea, knows very well that at this time, if he can't suppress the cowardice of the soldiers, a large number of soldiers will definitely flee under the shaking of the army's heart. Eventually, the flight will turn into a rout - in order to make it easier to escape, the fleeing person will incite other soldiers to run with him.
The recruits with the brigade were patrolling along the long trench, and the soldiers pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, all of them looked murderous, and their appearance immediately deterred the wavering soldiers.
You may die by shelling, but with the military court, if you want to escape, you will definitely die.
Tong Guoxi, who came out of the earthen shed, looked extremely nervous, he hid in the long trench, staring at the movement of the Ming army not far away. The Ming army of the brigade is approaching their own side through Changhao, and the distance between the two sides is less than two hundred meters, just at the edge of the range of the stone hair gun, whether it is a self-made three-coin gun, a six-coin gun, or a red-haired gun, hitting a target two hundred meters away, that is, it can barely reach it.
As for bows and arrows, you don't have to think about it.
However, the Ming army did not attack, but continued to dig along the long trench.
At this moment, there was another violent explosion, this time they blew up the deer, and in the explosion, the branches of the deer were scattered in all directions.
"Commander Han, the Ming army is about to attack!"
Staring at the deer that was blown up, Han Run just nodded silently, and said after half a sound.
"How are they going to attack then?"
"Attacking the trench with a trench, they will dig the long trench under our eyelids, and then jump out of the trench, dozens of steps away, in the blink of an eye, to level the army...... Dare to fight hand-to-hand! ”
After saying this, Tong Guoxi's face changed from time to time, and Ahdan's face was also cloudy.
The Pingyu army dares to fight hand-to-hand!
This is the biggest difference between the Pingyu army and other Ming armies, they not only dare to fight hand-to-hand, but also fight fiercely, once they charge, it is simply unstoppable. What do you say that the Jurchens are not afraid of death, and the Pingyu Army is actually ...... It's pretty much the same!
"I'm worried that when the time comes, once they rush up, they won't be able to stop it."
Even if Han Run is North Korea, Tong Guozi did not hide his thoughts - the Koreans are too weak, they can fight a good fight, but if they fight hard with the Ming army, it is estimated that they will be defeated first before they fight that side.
At this moment, Ahadan pointed to the rear of the Ming army with a telescope and said loudly.
"Look, the Ming army has pulled up the cannon!"
Han Run and Tong Guozi hurriedly raised their binoculars. I saw that behind the parallel trench of the Ming army, in the trench that I didn't know what to do, wicker baskets were transported, and the people were filling it with earth. Obviously, the Ming army is going to place artillery here.
The first is a parallel trench for the Tibetan troops, behind which a short, wide long trench is dug for the deployment of artillery.
At this time, Tong Guozi and them all seemed to be given a lesson, but this class was uncomfortable. If you don't get this lesson right, you'll die!
Just when the three of them were intently observing the unusual deployment of the Ming army, they did not find that a hundred meters away, Li Wentao, who was holding a Liao 13-style rifled gun, raised his rifle and carefully aimed at the long trench of Jiannu, he had been looking for a suitable target.
Not an ordinary soldier, but ...... Big shot?
What is Big Shot?
The instructor said that if there is a flash, it may be observing with a telescope. But now the snow on the bust wall will also reflect the light, so at this time, it is not reliable to rely on these at all.
Then look for the red tassels!
Those Jiannu bigwigs have red tassel spear tops on their helmets, but ordinary soldiers don't.
After looking around, Li Wentao finally found a few red tassels, although those people were careful to show only half of their heads, but he still aimed at the middle one, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang ......"
With the sound of a gunshot, the bullet whistled towards the target behind the breastwork, almost sticking to Han Run's head and slamming into the head of the soldier next to him, the bullet instantly penetrated his head, even if it was covered by a helmet, but the red and white things were still flying everywhere.
Han Run, who was splashed with blood, trembled and almost collapsed in the long trench. Tong Guozi and Ahadan immediately lay down and hid their bodies in the long trench, their faces full of panic.
"This, what's going on......"
Han Run was stunned, his pale face contrasted sharply with the blood stains on his face.
"It's the Ming Army's musketers."
Tong Guozi said a little nervously.
"This place can't stay, let's, let's change places!"
Just when they wanted to change places, the gunshots rang out again, accompanied by a scream, I don't know if the unlucky ghost really became a ghost, it was a shelling before, and now it is a cold gun, and the gunshots rang out one after another, so that the Jiannu in the long trench dared to move again, and they all shrank their bodies and looked up in panic.
What's going to be in the next moment?
Is it a shell, or a gun?
The two changed places and observed the movements of the Ming army again. Through the binoculars, they saw that the Ming army was transporting artillery through the trenches to the gun emplacements.
The size of the artillery brought up was very small, and this was a mountain howitzer unique to the Ming army. Small in size and light in weight, it can be called a sharp weapon for marching and fighting, in fact, the Qing army also has it, but there are not many of them, and they are mainly bought from the Ming army.
From the binoculars, seeing that the Ming army began to deploy their artillery on the front line, Han Run basically understood what would happen next.
The Ming army will soon launch an offensive.
He immediately gathered his officers and began to deploy.
"As soon as the Ming army rushed in, all teams immediately acted according to my banner, absolutely not attacking without authorization, or doing their own thing, everyone just needs to kill the enemy here, as long as the Ming army is killed, in the end, the emperor will definitely not treat everyone badly. The emperor said that the Ming army would be killed and retreated, and each person would be rewarded with ten acres of land! Doubled the official save! ”
Where do these lands come from? He doesn't know and doesn't care, but as long as he has a knife in his hand, he will definitely not worry about the land. He glanced at everyone and said with a smile:
"Everyone must also understand that this place is a Jedi! Or kill the Ming army. We just want to run for our lives and have nowhere to go! The Ming army said that they would not leave prisoners, and there were no Manchurian Eight Banners or Koreans in their eyes. The big guys are all the people they must kill, and they are all grasshoppers on a thread, no one should think about running, if they want to live, they have to kill them. ”
As soon as his words fell, a puff of white smoke rose from the front of the position, and a dull explosion came from far and near......
