Chapter 310: Capturing the Camp

Dai Shan only thought for a moment, and then decided that he couldn't sit still, and he had to take the initiative.

"Ye Keshu, you and Jueshan lead five Niu Lu to guard this place and plug the gap with grain bags."

"Shuo Xu, you lead ten Niu Lu to attack from the south and attack the right flank of the Ming army."

"Kadahun, you lead three hundred Bayala to attack from the north with me and attack the left flank of the Ming army."

After making a decision, Dai Shan issued this order in an orderly manner.

"Scum!"

Several of his generals received orders in unison and got busy.

Ye Keshu brought hundreds of Aha up from behind, asked them to carry grain bags, plugged the gap opened by artillery fire, and built a wall.

Shuo and Kadahun sent troops around and prepared to attack.

In the rear of Emperor Guan's army, Qin Chuan stood on a high platform that had been temporarily erected, and quietly observed the movements in the Jiannu array with a telescope.

Not long after, Qin Chuan put down the binoculars and said, "Jiannu has attacked, about 2,000 people on the left and right wings, and there are only 1,000 soldiers left in the camp." ”

"Ordered Luo Da Niu to advance behind the wall as fast as possible, and force him into it with gunpowder packs and javelins."

"Luo Ba, you take 3,000 people to defend the right flank, give you ten tiger squat cannons and 100 self-generated firearms, only defend and not attack."

"Dai Shan and his Bayala are concentrated on the left flank, and the rest of the people will follow me to meet the main force of Jiannu on the left flank, kill Bayala, and capture Dai Shan alive!"

"Yes!"

With Qin Chuan's order issued, the generals at all levels of the Guan Emperor Army were also busy, Luo Ba began to adjust the front on the right flank and strengthen the defense, and the four thousand Guan Di troops on the left flank were also ready to attack.

After receiving Qin Chuan's order, Luo Da Niu also gave an order, and quickly approached the halfway wall with a thousand main attackers.

There were only a few openings left in the wall, and the dozens of Jiannu's gunners were lying on top of the grain bags, and after the Guan Emperor's army approached within a hundred paces, they began to release their guns outside, and there were hundreds of archers behind them who kept firing arrows.

As the distance narrowed, the casualties of the Guan Emperor's army became larger and larger, and by the time they reached a distance of fifty paces, the casualties had reached hundreds.

At this time, Jiannu's archers climbed on top of the grain bags one after another, began to replace them with armor-piercing heavy arrows, and shot at Emperor Guan's army.

Even if Emperor Guan's army was holding a shield, many people were still shot and fell to the ground, and the number of casualties soared instantly.

Luo Da Niu endured the pain, broke an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and shouted: "The musketeers shoot in four stages, starting from Team A, hurry up, Huang Liuxi, the people who take you will specialize in hitting the artillery with those gaps, and the tiger squat cannon will also specialize in hitting the opponent's artillery, and press down those bitches." ”

"Yes."

The musketeers, who had never been useful, set up their guns behind their shields and pulled the triggers one after another.

Before the start of the war, Luo Da Niu divided the 400 musketeers into four teams, A, B, C, D, according to the previous practice of the four shots, the 100 guns of the A team fired first, followed by the B team, and when the last team of musketeers finished, the A team also reloaded the ammunition, so as to fire in a cycle and keep the fire suppressed.

During range training, musketeers with flintlock pistols can achieve a 70% hit rate at a distance of 50 paces, but on the battlefield, due to factors such as fear and target movement, the hit rate may be less than 50%.

Despite this, the four musketeers still inflicted great casualties on Jiannu, and every time the gun rang out, dozens of Jiannu who climbed onto the grain bags and fired arrows were shot.

There were less than 600 archers left behind to defend, and after a four-stage cycle, the casualties of those 600 archers and dozens of bird-gunners reached 30%.

Within a short distance of fifty paces, Huang Liuxi and other marksmen were even more missed, and the high-speed rotating conical bullets could easily penetrate Jiannu's wooden shield, plus fifty tiger squat cannons, the gunners who fired the guns behind those few gaps were quickly killed and wounded.

The pressure on Emperor Guan's army was greatly reduced, and Luo Daniu immediately led two hundred spearmen, one carrying five javelins, carrying a gunpowder bag prepared in advance, and quickly advanced forward, while the musketeers and gunners stayed behind to continue to suppress Jiannu.

In the Jiannu array, Ye Keshu was anxious, he didn't expect that the Ming army's bird guns would be so sharp, and he actually beat hundreds of his archers to heavy casualties.

"My lord, you can't let the warriors shoot against the Ming army." Jueshan on the side was also very anxious.

Ye Keshu nodded and said, "Let the warriors all come down." ”

"Come down, quickly."

Under Jueshan's command, the archers dismounted from the grain sacks one after another and continued to shoot in the back.

Seeing that two hundred people on the other side were approaching quickly, Ye Keshu hurriedly shouted: "Three-eyed gun, quick, quickly release the three-eyed gun." ”

More than 100 Jiannu hurriedly climbed onto the grain bag, did not dare to aim at it, only stretched out the three-eyed gun in his hand, and then shot the ignited fuse blindly outward.

There was a burst of gunfire, and the Guan Emperor Army, which was rapidly approaching, fell more than 30 people in an instant, and Luo Daniu, who was rushing to the forefront, also had a numb calf and staggered to the ground.

"Leave me alone, rush, keep rushing."

Seeing that a subordinate was about to come over to help him, Luo Daniu waved his hand and shouted, while struggling to get up and limping forward.

The remaining 160-odd Guan Emperor troops quickly rushed within thirty paces, and took out the javelins behind their backs one after another, and threw them over the wall of grain bags with all their might. 520

A scream rang out from behind the wall, and dozens of people were pierced by javelins in an instant.

Taking advantage of the gap in the loading of the three-eyed gun, Guan Dijun threw another round of javelins and rushed under the wall.

Then they began to take out the fire folds and powder packets, one lighting the fuse and the other throwing the ignited powder bag over the wall.

On the other side of the wall, Ye Keshu hurriedly shouted: "Prepare for a short battle!" ”

"Scum!"

The remaining 500 Jiannu threw down their bows and arrows and firearms, picked up knives, guns, steel forks and other weapons, and lined up behind the wall of grain bags, ready for melee combat.

In terms of firearms, they are inferior to the Ming army in front of them.

But when it comes to fighting, they are confident that they can kill those Ming soldiers with one enemy, and they can cry their fathers and mothers.

"Warriors, those damned Nikans are just sharp with firearms, and after the battle, they will be as vulnerable as the rest of the Ming army." Ye Keshu raised his voice and shouted, taking the opportunity to boost morale.

Jueshan also raised his waist knife: "Warriors, kill all Nikan, and leave no one behind!" ”

"Kill!"

The morale of more than 500 Jiannu was high and murderous.

At this moment, dozens of round, gray things suddenly threw in from outside the wall, and one of them rolled right at Jueshan's feet.

Jueshan looked down and saw that a rope was attached to the fist-sized strange thing, and it was "sparkling".

"No, it's gunpowder!"

Ye Keshu on the side was the first to react, and hurriedly flew to the side and lay on the ground.

Jueshan was taken aback, and just about to dodge, he saw that the round thing suddenly exploded into a ball of flames, and with a loud "boom", Jueshan intuitively felt that his legs were numb, and then he was engulfed by a ball of flames.

Before the other Jiannu could react, explosions rang out one after another, dozens of flames exploded, countless small stones flew everywhere, and the surrounding Jiannu were engulfed in flames and smoke at the same time, they were splashed all over their bodies by countless small stones.

The power of black powder is far less than that of later explosives, and it is difficult to kill people in a fist-sized gunpowder bag, but in large quantities, it can also cause large-scale explosions and burns.

Outside the wall, after hearing the explosions and screams inside, Luo Da Niu waved behind him violently, signaling the gunners and gunners behind to follow.

The hundreds of people who remained behind quickly approached, and those under the wall lit the powder packets again and continued to throw them inside.

Inside the wall, Jueshan endured the pain in his feet, desperately extinguished the fire on his body, and then struggled to climb to the side.

Then he heard the sound of something falling nearby.

There was another loud "boom", and Jueshan felt a pain all over his body, and then a heat wave hit, making him almost breathless.

After the heat wave passed, Jueshan wanted to continue crawling, but there was smoke in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, and he coughed hard as soon as he took a breath.

There were screams and coughs all around, as if they were in hell.

Jueshan coughed as he crawled forward, crawling and crawling, he felt his head swell more and more, his strength became smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for him to lose consciousness.

Ye Keshu, who reacted quickly, was lucky to avoid the explosion and crawled to the distance with a rolling belt.

Looking at the billowing smoke and listening to the endless screams, Ye Keshu's face turned pale, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.

"My lord, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave."

Several pro-soldiers who had also escaped the explosion ran to his side and shouted anxiously.

Ye Keshu clenched his fists, tried his best to control the trembling of his hands, looked up to the sky and sighed, then turned around and ran.

Outside the wall, after throwing two waves of gunpowder packets, Emperor Guan's army moved the tiger squat cannon to the gap and released bombs inside.

After a few cannons, after the smoke inside almost dispersed, Luo Daniu waved his hand, shouted "kill", and then limped to lead the Guan Emperor army to kill through the gap.

There weren't a few Jiannu in it who could stand.

After Luo Daniu broke in, no matter whether the other party was a soldier or a general, and whether the other party was dead or alive, he stabbed all the people on the ground, and then killed him in the depths of the camp.

The 4,000 aha in the camp screamed and knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The 10,000 people of the captives trembled and looked in horror at the incoming army.

Several grain carts on the east side were pushed away, and Ye Keshu led more than 100 remnants of Jiannu to swarm out of the gap, and then galloped towards the left wing of the Daishan Division.

So far, Luo Da Niu has successfully captured Dai Shan's camp.
