Chapter 192: Eyes reddened

"Shoot the arrows!"

"All the clansmen and warriors, give me arrows and do your best to block the enemy from crossing the river!"

At the root of the corner near the west gate of the Lonely Mountain Fort, the already angry and corrupt Mang Gurtai kept roaring.

He had just been truly stunned by the incessant bombardment of artillery, he had never been bombarded by the new flowering shells at close range, so he did not understand the horror of such powerful shells.

The previous artillery of the Ming New Army, with the new flowering shells issued by ninety cannons, attacked the camp station, which did not take long and ended quickly.

In addition, the distance was so far away that I couldn't feel the power of the big bang at all.

It wasn't until now that he experienced it for himself that he was almost terrified.

Not only him, but even the two yellow flag warriors who were squatting in the corner with him are now very confused.

At the beginning of the bombardment, the two were fortunate not to stand near the city gate and on the city wall, so they escaped a life-and-death disaster.

The two of them, who reacted quickly, hurriedly took a group of Ezhen generals around them and quickly ran to the root of the city wall to avoid the almost ubiquitous shell bombardment.

Just now, the two Gu Shan Ezhen, who were in charge of the preparations for the great retreat, sent someone to report that the withdrawal of the army had been properly arranged, and they could abandon the city and run away at any time.

However, just when Mang Gurtai was about to give the order to abandon the city and retreat, the bombardment of the new army of the Ming Dynasty came.

He was now anxious and angry, and he thought of ordering a wave of counterattacks against these arrogant Daming new troops, in order to let them know that the clansmen and warriors of his Dajin Kingdom were not vegetarians.

The hidden meaning of this is not to push us too quickly, otherwise even if the rabbit is in a hurry, it will bite and spare.

At the base of the wall at the back of the wall, a large number of Tartar archers gathered together, and when they heard Manggultai's order, they drew their bows diagonally upwards and fired their arrows.

After the arrow flew into the air outside the city, it refracted and landed near the city gate area.

This is the method that Mang Gurtai came up with.

This can effectively avoid the attack of the artillery shells of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, save yourself, and release arrows outside the city.

Mang Gurtai hopes to rely on such a blind archery method to block the approach of the Ming logistics engineers who are now building pontoon bridges on a large scale, affecting the progress of their work.

Of course, it would be better to be able to inflict massive damage on them.

However, this kind of attack was of little use to those logistical engineers of the Ming New Army.

These logistics soldiers are all covered in fine steel armor, and their protection is extremely tight.

Those aimless arrows fell, occasionally hitting themselves, but the weak "clanging" sounded twice, and they fell into the moat, without causing any damage to themselves.

The soldiers would not be stupid enough to look up and watch these scattered arrows fall, so they didn't have anything to do

In fact, Suppilon did not approve of Mang Gurtai's approach.

He felt that this was purely superfluous, and it was just a psychological comfort for himself.

Whether it can really make a difference, no one knows.

In this blind shooting method, the arrow shot out, where the landing point is, even I don't know myself.

These warriors were better at riding and shooting than crouching and throwing.

This kind of projectile is almost like a large group of blind people shooting indiscriminately.

If you mess around like this on the battlefield in the past, you will be seriously despised by the warriors of the clansmen.

In doing so, valuable arrows are wasted, and the self-confidence of these archers is greatly damaged.

What is the most important thing about a sharpshooter?

Of course, it's your own self-confidence.

If you don't have enough self-confidence, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to become an archer.

The so-called eye to heart, heart to arrow, this is a real archer must have skills.

However, at present, apart from this way of fighting back, is there any better way for the clansmen and warriors of the Dajin Army?

No, with the current armament of the Dajin Kingdom, which is completely behind the new army of the Ming Dynasty, there is really no other way to counterattack.

The current soldiers can't even raise their heads, how can they fight back against the enemy?

Mang Gurtai is undoubtedly a fierce general, and he has worked hard to search for dry intestines and find an effective way to deal with the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he failed and was helpless.

In the face of this strong attack mode of the Ming New Army, the other party has an overwhelming huge advantage, and he can't think of any way to effectively fight back.

The current battlefield situation is completely incomprehensible for the current Tartar army.

It's like a three-year-old baby fighting with a 30-year-old strong man, as long as the strong man is mentally prepared enough, no matter what kind of means the baby takes, he will not be able to help the big man in the end.

In the past, Mang Gurtai had always believed that the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom were the thirty-year-old strong men, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Empire were the poor and cowardly infants.

But now, everything has turned around.

The new army of the Ming Dynasty has become a strong man in full armor, and the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom have become that poor baby.

In fact, before the battle began, there were more than a dozen old-fashioned Francophone guns deployed on the west gate of Gushan Fort Gate.

At one point, they pinned their hopes on these old guns to hold on to the Lonely Mountain Fort.

But, unfortunately, when the battle really began, the soldiers found that these guns had no chance to fire at all.

Because, the artillery of the Ming New Army had already focused on them, and at the time of the first wave of attacks, they were destroyed together with the batteries.

"The enemy has crossed the river!"

"Several large pontoon bridges of the Ming New Army have been built!"

"They're on the offensive!" ……

At this time, several Tartar observation posts, spotting enemy artillery fire, suddenly began to extend into the distance.

When they saw the frightened shells that no longer fell on the area of the city gate, they hurriedly poked their heads out of the broken battlements to observe the enemy.

These observation sentries immediately found that the logistics engineers of the Ming New Army had already completed the construction of several pontoon bridges in a hurry.

The soldiers of the Ming New Army began to divide into a thousand-strong brigade, and they were beginning to cross the pontoon bridge at a rapid pace, approaching the city gate that had disappeared!

So, the Tartar sentinels were startled and hurriedly roared loudly.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming New Army were less than ten zhang away from the west gate of Gushan Fort.

By this time, the Tartar defenders realized that they had crossed the river and were indeed a little late.

This time, Mang Gurtai and Kupilon were really panicked, and hurriedly ordered the nearby soldiers to launch a counterattack.

The remaining Tartars on the head of the city, as well as the soldiers of the Han army with blue flags, all tentatively stood up and fired arrows directly into the city.

Of course, their counterattack actions and methods will not be allowed by those soldiers of the Ming New Army.

As a result, they immediately suffered a more fierce attack from the Ming New Army.

"Prepare to fire!"

"All enemies in the direction of the target city!"

Xiong Ba, the "hairy bear" who took the lead, happily led the soldiers of the Third Division to charge at the moment when the pontoon bridge was just completed!

Now he had just crossed the pontoon bridge with the vanguard brigade and came to the entrance of the west gate of Gushan Fort, when he found the columns of people rising on the city wall, and he was overjoyed, and immediately shouted orders to the marksmen of his third division.

The sharpshooters of the Blue Dragon Legion are still by Lu Xiangsheng's side, and he has no right to mobilize them.

Although he couldn't mobilize the super sharpshooter team, in Xiongba's third division, he himself organized a team of hundreds of sharpshooters who were slightly inferior to the fifteen sharpshooters, and were specifically responsible for suppressing the enemy near the city gate and city walls.

The Tartars want to shoot Lao Tzu's soldiers with arrows? That's absolutely impossible!

As long as you dare to show your head, I will kill you with a headshot!

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!" ……

Sure enough, the sharpshooters who followed Xiong Ba closely raised their guns and shot, and the enemy defenders at the head of the city suddenly fell dozens of people, and the rest were so frightened that they immediately shrank back.

There was a white-armored soldier with a Tartar, who was brave and brave, and brazenly stood up unabashedly because he wanted to immediately draw his bow and shoot arrows to counterattack the other party.

As a result, more than a dozen bullets flew from under the city in an instant, and a series of bullets hit him, hitting him all over the body on the spot, and blood kept gushing out!

In the blink of an eye, he became a bloody appearance, his hands were open, the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground, and he was still muttering something weakly in his mouth unwillingly, and finally fell backwards and threw himself into the street on the spot.

Another Tartar warrior in white armor, when he saw his companion being killed, may have been too angry in his heart, or he may have no longer wanted to endure the grievances of being beaten, or he simply wanted to die a little braver.

As a result, he also stood up violently.

Facts have proved that the marksmen of the 3rd Division treat him equally and mercilessly, and since you want to seek death, they will definitely meet your demands.

A barrage of bullets immediately shot at the past, knocking the Tartar's white-armored soldier to the ground with ease.

The white-armored soldier of this Tartar had a serene face when he fell, and even his eyes were closed in advance.

It seems that he really doesn't want to live anymore, so he took the initiative to come out to seek death.

There is no way, after being bombarded endlessly just now, and suffering such a crushing blow, there is no chance to fight back, such a battle is really embarrassing.

This somewhat arrogant Tartar white-armored soldier was extremely helpless, and he felt that it was better to die vigorously than to live in a nest.

So, he threw himself into the street and died on the spot, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish before he died.

The other Tartars and those traitor slave soldiers, seeing this scene, all consciously retracted their heads.

Now the guns of the Ming New Army outside the city are constantly whistling past, which is powerful and very accurate.

It's like just now, when they hit their own enemies, they really shot one at a time, and they were almost scared to death.

When they stand up at this time, it is definitely a dead end.

Since two successive unsuspenseful defeats yesterday afternoon and this morning, the self-confidence and courage of the Tartars and the traitor minions have been dealt a strong blow, and they are no longer as confident and courageous as before.

The two white-armored soldiers who had just fallen down the street, their blood gurgling along the city wall and extending around, seemed to be silently warning the other Tartars, you must not follow the two of them, otherwise, this will be the end.

No matter how brave and good you were in battle, brutal and ruthless, in front of the soldiers of Lao Tzu and the Ming New Army, you are all scum and vulnerable.

Of course, the vast majority of Tartars are still unwilling to commit suicide so bravely.

Especially those traitor slave soldiers, they will never take the initiative to seek death until the last moment of despair.
