Section 374 Tiger Leap Battle--The Decisive Battle XXIV

"There's such a thing!" Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde had doubts in his heart, this enemy firearm is really too powerful. Not only did the shield car work first, but even the flag array had no good way.

"It seems that this is the only way, and only by stirring up with the enemy can we avoid this kind of undefensible blow again." Kong Youde gritted his teeth and ordered: "The front army beat the drum and charged, and went straight to the center of the enemy's large array. ”

With Kong Youde's order, in the camp of the Qing army, a hundred war drums sounded. The bombardment of the red-coated artillery became more intense, and it was almost impossible to hear a point. Thick smoke rose from the position of the Shenzhou Army.

However, the Shenzhou army on the opposite side seemed to be unaware of the enemy's way of fighting and simply ignored it. The sniper's gunfire continued to fire from various firing points, and the killing and wounding were visible to all targets. The rockets dragging the tongues of fire also continued to explode at the flag array of the Qing army.

The sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves rushed out from the flag array, and the knights on the horses roared through the flag gate and pounced on the position of the Shenzhou army. Countless knights, rushing from the formation, seemed endless. They shouted, brandished their long knives, and pounced.

"The pillboxes on the front opened fire at will."

The guns and grenades, the crossbows, the rifle shots, the constantly exploding spider mines, and the dense underground broken horse pits destroyed 3,000 cavalry almost instantly. Blood splattered under the horse's hooves, and of course the knight on the horse knew, but this was a race from which there was no turning back, and only those who ran to the finish line had any hope of survival.

The "click" horse screamed and stood on its front legs, and when it landed, it turned to the side, and the knight on the horse screamed and pounced on the ground. Behind it were countless jet-black horses' hooves galloping towards them.

Run! Come on! Each of the horsemen did their best to hold their horses in the belly. Now they don't have the luxury of killing as many enemies as they want, as long as they can escape from this hell.

In one minute, it only takes one minute to rush through the space of 300 meters. But in this minute's time, the charging Qing army seemed to have rushed directly into a nightmare. When 40,000 cavalry rushed into the killing area formed by the pillbox, there were only more than 30,000 people left, of course, the strength was not affected much, but it was only here that one foot was really stretched into hell.

More knights who were thrown off their horses by broken legs, and there was no place here that did not break the horse pit. The density of four ~ ten broken horse pits per square meter is so dense that people can't stop stumbling when they walk on it, let alone horses. The cavalry charge ended there.

The Manchu cavalry was indeed strong, they were infantry on horseback. Once they fall to the ground, their bravery and force are by no means inferior to ordinary infantry.

The horse-loving horsemen jumped off their horses, carrying bows and arrows and wielding long knives at a pillbox. However, the pillboxes could not withstand the crossbow arrows and small bombs that exploded on touch, which made them suffer enough. At almost every step, a few brothers fell to the ground, and the rest screamed, brandishing their knives or shooting arrows at the half-buried bunkers.

Behind the half-buried bunker is a bunker built on the ground, and then on the back is a bunker built on an earthen slope, and there are no dead ends between the bunkers, so you can only rush to death with courage and red eyes.

The cavalry of the follow-up brigade still rushed out of the flag gate and pounced on death. The Shenzhou army also had more and more shells with sharp whistles, and the losses among the cavalry ranks were also increasing. It's just that Kong Youde, who was desperate, gritted his teeth and still couldn't help sending his cavalry again.

More and more horses died between the bunkers, and as a result, the horse carcasses became cover for the Qing soldiers. Some soldiers were organized to support the brethren attacking the bunker with bows and arrows. However, the people who attacked the vicinity of the bunkers were a little dumbfounded, and these half-buried bunkers had no entrance at all.

Four directions: In the first direction were four small gun holes with bevels, from from which relentless bullets were constantly fired. And if you attack in a hurry, there will be a continuous six-gun shot that will break the line inside, and it will be an absolute nightmare to attack intensively at close range.

Of course, an attack of 30,000 or 40,000 people will not be effective at all. Under the bloody battle of the Qing soldiers, there was still some progress, and the first hand-to-hand combat of this battle broke out.

At a section of passage destroyed by solid artillery shells of the Qing army, a group of Qing soldiers burrowed into the interconnected passages between the pillboxes. Fortunately, the pillboxes on the first line and the second line of the Shenzhou Army were "single-line contacted" according to the corresponding relationship, so these places where the Qing army entered only cut off the strength of one platoon.

"Platoon Commander, the passage where we retreated has been cut off," the soldier who was on guard inside the passage came back to report when the passage had just been breached.

The soldiers looked at the platoon commander with some concern, knowing that they would be in an extremely dangerous situation if the back road was cut off.

"The first squad inspected the damage and stayed in the passage to be on guard, and the signal corps sent a signal to the rear pillbox to report the situation to the company commander. Others were ready to shoot, and the Qing army came up. ”

In this case, the company commander of this company naturally did not ignore it, and immediately used a platoon of reserves to clean the tunnel, but at this time, the charge and the Qing cavalry had already reached the outside of the tunnel.

Inside the passage, a few broken trellises with dirt almost obscured the passageway, but left a hole that could easily be drilled into the bunkers in front or behind.

A group of Qing soldiers cautiously crept in through the breach. "Come on, this is the way behind the enemy!" The Qing soldiers who came in first saw the lights in the blockhouse in the distance and shouted loudly to the people outside.

The squad that had just been ordered to inspect was the first to encounter the enemy. The squad leader who led the team, as soon as he killed the Qing soldier who shouted outside. However, because not only could you dodge the endless life-threatening bullets of the Shenzhou Army here, a large group of Qing soldiers rolled in like a wild wave that opened the floodgates.

"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat" The squad leader gave the order, and the spear was immediately put back on his back, wearing goggles, a short gun in his left hand, and a dog-legged knife in his right hand.

"Grenade throwing" is the standard hand-to-hand combat procedure of the Shenzhou Army, and almost every soldier can memorize it backwards.

With the order of the squad leader, the sniper of the covering group immediately raised his hand with his assistant to be four lime hands.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom" in the continuous explosion sounded in the Qing army that broke in.
