Chapter 464: Breaking Through the Defense Line (First Update, Asking for Subscription)

Almost at the moment when Jiannu's defense line was about to break through, suddenly a green signal flare rose into the sky, and the soldiers of the second echelon who were ready to attack immediately desperately launched an attack on the depth of Jiannu, and at the same time, the artillery was also rapidly shelling towards the depth of Jiannu.

Rounds of shells were fired, and in addition to grenades, there were also shrapnels, but due to the cover of the long trenches, the Ming artillery shelling did not cause many casualties.

Han Run, who was in the second long trench, saw that when the Ming army was attacking this side, although the shells from the cannonballs from the platform took the lives of the Ming army from time to time, he saw them enter a position that was only more than 20 zhang away from him.

"Quick! Shoot! ”

Tong Guozi shouted loudly.

On the battlefield, dozens of tiger squat cannons deployed on the side of the chest wall of the long trench were lit at the same time, and with the roar of dozens of cannons, the cannons spit out from the tiger squat cannons were wrapped in thick smoke and sprayed out towards the front, although there was no effect of hitting dozens of miles, but still knocked down more than a dozen soldiers who charged in front.

"Release!"

Han Run shouted at the top of his throat, and the firecracker with the stone hair gun immediately pulled the trigger quickly, and under the impact of the flint, the dull sound of the musket echoed on the battlefield, and lead bullets were spewed in front of the long trench.

The gunners of Jiannu took turns firing in the long trenches, and under the training of the Dutch, they could be regarded as feeling the doorway with muskets, and thousands of muskets formed a dense fire in front of the breastwork, and quickly repelled the approaching warriors. The charging warriors, before they could rush over, were knocked to the ground by the gunners arranged along the second long trench.

Although the rain of bullets and gunpowder smoke obstructed the soldiers' vision, the soldiers who had already broken through the first long trench did not hesitate, and they immediately jumped to the communication trench dug by the Qing army nearby.

"Jump into the trench ......"

As they jumped into the trench leading to the second long trench and tried to dodge the shells that were coming from around them, Han Run looked towards Tong Guozi and nodded at the same time.

"Prepare 10,000 enemies!"

"Tens of thousands of enemies!"

The Green Battalion soldiers immediately brought out several large wooden boxes, which contained a large black iron ball.

This is the enemy of 10,000 people!

This is a kind of weapon made by Tong Guoxi, the structure is similar to the cannonball, but heavier, larger, it weighs 100 catties, the hollow iron shell is filled with gunpowder, when the enemy attacks the city, ignite the fuse and throw it under the city, it will roll out on the ground for several zhang, and then explode, the power of dozens of catties of gunpowder explosion is by no means comparable to ordinary shells, according to Tong Guozi's estimates, such a "10,000 enemies" can at least kill dozens of people, or even hundreds of people.

Seeing that the Ming army had already rushed over, Tong Guozi shouted loudly.

"Put!"

With an order, more than a dozen lit large iron balls were thrown out of the chest wall of Jiannu's temporary long trench, no one noticed, the long trench had some slopes, and the iron ball of the lit lead rolled straight down, although its speed was not fast, but it was only a few breaths of effort, and it rolled into the ranks of the Ming army.

"Bomb!"

Even though the warriors didn't know what it was, watching him roll in and emit white smoke from time to time, they immediately realized that it was going to explode.

Almost as soon as their shouts fell, suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded on the battlefield, and the billowing smoke instantly swallowed the soldiers in the long trench, and some of the soldiers who were not in a hurry were even blown into the air.

Although some of the dozens of "10,000 enemies" thrown out by Jiannu were blocked by bomb craters, violent explosions still erupted in the craters, and in the continuous explosions, huge clouds of smoke rose from time to time in Jiannu's communication trenches.

Seeing the brothers falling down in batches by bombs in the long trench, Niu Jinxing was unconsciously divided, he had just been promoted to the general manager of Qian, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene.

"Bomb with a grenade!"

Red-eyed, he immediately yelled.

Several fighters immediately began to close to drop bombs, but under the continuous blows of Jiannu's Fran cannons and muskets, the rain of bullets flew everywhere inside and outside the long trench, and none of the fighters could break through along the long trench to the distance of the bombs, but several people were killed and wounded in vain.

"Mr. Qian, the casualties of such a blind onslaught are too great, I think it's better to withdraw the troops......"

Within a dozen minutes of breaking into the traffic trench, dozens of people had already been killed or wounded.

Staring at the tiger squat cannon at the end of Jiannu's long trench, Niu Jinxing shouted loudly.

"Go, let the artillery push the nine-pound mountain grenade over!"

Niu Jinxing commanded loudly.

"Do they have cannons? We have a cannon too! ”

Because the nine-jin mountain grenade is extremely light, each general is equipped with three nine-jin mountain grenades, and the gunners did not accompany them in the previous assault, but now after the attack was frustrated, Niu Jinxing naturally thought of his own cannon.

While they were waiting for the gunners to arrive, the soldiers who had already built the first long trench in the trench began to build a breastwork, and the soldiers hid behind the breastwork, shooting at Jiannu across the open area, although their muskets were not rifled guns, but the projectiles with a single-headed projectile structure also ensured their accuracy at a distance of 100 meters, although the Jiannu behind the breastwork desperately returned fire with Fran cannons and firearms, but under such a technical gap, their firepower was quickly suppressed.

While he was loading his bullets, Park Yiman heard a scream from someone beside him, and a burst of damp heat immediately came from his cold face, and the flying brains splashed his face.

"The Ming army's musket is really accurate!"

Swallowing nervously, although his heart was full of fear, Park Yiman took a deep breath, showed his head again, and pulled the trigger directly without aiming at the other side.

After the gunshots, did they hit the Ming army, Park Yiman didn't know at all, in fact, how could he hit the target at such a long distance?

But the guns of the Ming army were accurate!

Seeing that the green battalion soldiers in the long trench were constantly being shot and screaming and falling, Tong Guoxi's expression became more and more nervous.

He knew that in such a competition of firepower, the Great Qing Kingdom would definitely not be able to compete with the Ming Army, not to mention anything else, even if it was fighting gunpowder, the Great Qing Kingdom would not be able to fight them. Even now they have exhausted all means, but the Ming army still easily broke through their defenses.

If this fight continues, this long trench will change hands sooner or later, and this is how they shoot at each other across the trenches, and the green battalion soldiers are definitely not their opponents, and now the Ming army is just firing a volley with firearms, and after a while, their artillery fire will definitely come over, and the next will inevitably be a more powerful artillery attack!

"Cannon!"

Suddenly, at this moment, a sharp-eyed person pointed to the long trench and shouted loudly, only to see that the Ming army actually pushed the cannon into the long trench, as soon as he saw the cannon, Tong Guoxi's heart was tight, and he said to Ahdan.

"Ahdan, quick, quickly retreat, this long trench can't be held."

In fact, according to the plan formulated by the emperor before, Tong Guozi should take the opportunity to launch a counterattack when the Ming army attacked, but the momentum of the Ming army was far beyond the emperor's imagination, they didn't even wait to break through the first trench, they rushed directly towards the second long trench, the emperor's plan was completely disrupted, not to mention, even the green battalion soldiers in the front trench saw that the back road was cut off, and they fled backwards as if fleeing.

The attacks of these Ming troops were simply desperate, without considering life and death, and without even giving him the slightest time to delay the next attack, they launched an attack to the rear desperately.

And their reaction was very fast, although the assault was repulsed for a while, but after that, it was just a time to catch their breath, and they pushed the cannon over, even if the plan was perfect, they did not take this into account. It won't be long before their cannons blast through everything that stands in their way.

Dense bullets whizzed overhead, and the musketeers continued to suffer casualties, by which time they had completely stopped firing, and they huddled in the trench in terror. Although this predominantly North Korean green battalion has not collapsed yet, it is only a matter of time.

It won't be long before this place falls, and I may die on top of it. At this moment, as if confirming his previous speculation, there was a sudden sound of artillery from there, and I saw a cloud of smoke explode from behind the earthen wall that had originally stopped the Ming army, and the gunners behind the wall were immediately killed and wounded.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Han Run was also decisive and immediately said loudly.

"Withdraw!"
