Chapter 416: Luck Says

100,000 Jianzhou Jurchen troops, 40,000 cavalry, 60,000 infantry, weapons are mainly bows and arrows, long knives, equipped with some shields with wooden planks as the main body, basically no firearms.

Although the Jianzhou Jurchens submitted to the Ming court before and paid tribute every year, the Ming court had great restrictions on the trade of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they would not let too much pig iron or iron tools flow into the Jianzhou Jurchens.

In this case, there are very few people in the Jianzhou Jurchen army who can wear armor, and there will not be many firearms flowing into the Jianzhou Jurchen.

However, Nurhachi trusted the bow and arrow in his hand more than firearms, and even when he was attacking the Haixi Jurchens with the Japanese army, Nurhachi still had this idea.

Fighting on terrain with a wide field of vision, the range of the shotguns equipped by the Japanese army is some distance longer than the bows and arrows in the hands of the Jurchens, but the frequency of shotguns is not as high as that of bows and arrows, and the archers cannot always pull the bow and shoot arrows, but the musketeers can, as long as the muskets do not have problems, the musketeers can always manipulate the muskets to attack.

However, in the mountainous terrain, especially in the jungle terrain, because of the trees, the musket does not exert much power at all, and suddenly encounters an archer enemy in the jungle, and the musketeer is not an opponent of the archers at all.

The Jurchen living area in Jianzhou is dominated by mountains and forests, so Nurhachi trusts the bow and arrow in his hand more, and is confident that he can resist the attack of the Japanese army with the terrain.

The Jianzhou Jurchen army is getting closer and closer to the Parrot Pass, the siege is about to begin, the number of cavalry in the Jianzhou Jurchen army accounts for two-fifths of the total strength, but the cavalry cannot ride to the city wall, Nurhachi has ordered some cavalry to abandon their horses and walk, including some who often disobey Nurhachi's orders.

In order to make these people willingly give up their horses and participate in the war as infantrymen, Nurhachi has made a promise that as long as he attacks the Parrot Pass first, wealth and women can be robbed at will.

Those who obeyed Nurhachi's orders were placed as far back as possible, and those who did not obey Nurhachi's orders rushed forward, wanting to attack the Parrot Pass faster, and in their opinion, it was impossible for an army of 100,000 to attack the city.

Nurhachi also intends to use the lives of these people to test the strength of the People's Army stationed at Parrot Pass.

On the wall of Parrot Pass, Yu Xi, the commander of the 33rd Division, observed through a telescope the Jianzhou Jurchen army that was constantly approaching Parrot Pass, and at this time, the Jianzhou Jurchen at the front was less than 900 meters away from Parrot Pass.

The People's Army collected some information about the Jianzhou Jurchens, and had a general understanding of the Jianzhou Jurchens' weapons and equipment, troops, etc., and in the face of the Jianzhou Jurchen army, which was not equipped with artillery, Yu Xi prepared to put the enemy closer to fight, and did not open fire at a distance of five or six hundred meters, so as to knock the enemy away without killing or wounding many enemies.

On the battlefield, the Jurchens confidently strode forward, and on the city walls, musketeers and artillerymen were ready for battle.

Eight hundred meters

Five hundred meters

Two hundred meters

"Fire!"

Accompanied by fire and black smoke, more than 700 lead bullets and a large number of cannonballs flew away from the city wall, colliding head-on with the Jianzhou Jurchen army that was striding forward.

In the "impact", the Jianzhou Jurchen army paused, and then charged forward at a faster speed, and only six or seven hundred casualties could not make the other Jurchens stop the charge.

The KPA's attack did not end either, and waves of buckshot bullets attacked the Jurchens.

"Huh?"

Yu Xi was surprised, about six or seven hundred meters away from the telescope's field of vision, there seemed to be a group of important targets, they were riding horses, walking and stopping, their clothes were blurry and they didn't look ordinary, they were suspected to be the leaders of the Jianzhou Jurchens, even if they were not the leaders, they would be other big people.

Feeling that it was a big man in Jianzhou Jurchen, Yu Shi immediately issued a new order to the musketeers who were fighting in the front position: "You company, give me an attack in that direction." ”

Upon receiving the order of the division commander, the commander of the musket company immediately ordered the second platoon, which had been loaded with ammunition, to launch an attack in the direction of the target.

"Second platoon, aim, fire!"

The next moment, more than thirty buckshot bullets flew towards the location of Nurhachi and his party.

Nurhachi, who was observing the battle on the battlefield, faintly felt a hint of danger, and he turned his head to look around, when a lead bullet slashed directly through his face, leaving a shallow blood mark on his face.

There was also a lead bullet that directly hit the head of Nurha's naked war horse, and under the huge power of the lead bullet, the war horse fell to the ground weakly, and even Nurhachi fell heavily to the ground.

Nurhachi's luck is better, compared with Nurhachi, the surrounding Jianzhou Jurchen high-level and Nurhachi's guards were directly hit by a wave of more than 30 lead bullets, and it is almost impossible for these people who are not hit hard by lead bullets to survive.

It wasn't over yet, and just six seconds later, a second wave of buckshot hit, and more than a dozen people were severely injured.

Nurhachi fell to the ground with the war horse, one leg was still pressed by the war horse, and before he could pull out his leg to stand up, his body was just blocked by the war horse, and the war horse, which was already on the verge of death, blocked a fatal lead bullet for Nurhachi.

Feeling the situation around him, Nurhachi didn't dare to stand up, and honestly hid behind the war horse, hiding his body under the war horse as much as possible.

"What's the situation, who's beating me, the enemy on the walls?" Because of the sudden attack, Nurhachi, who was in a mess in his mind, was already confused.

The third wave of lead bullets hit, and more than a dozen people were hit by lead bullets, Nurhachi's war horse was hit by two lead bullets again, and the Jurchens who saw Nurhachi being pressed by the war horse wanted to come over and rescue Nurhachi, but they were also hit by lead bullets.

Not long after the third wave of buckshot ended, Nurhachi was already surrounded by a circle of people who wanted to block the attack from nowhere for the leader, and with the help of his men, Nurhachi pulled his leg out from under the horse.

Maybe there is really luck in this world, three waves of more than a hundred buckshots hit Nurhachi's location, Nurhachi's war horse was concentrated by four lead bullets one after another, and Nurhachi except for a wound on his face is a fall caused by falling to the ground with the war horse, Nurhachi, who was already physically strong, did not affect his physical movement at all in the face of this injury, and he could still fight on horseback.

Nurhachi did not ride his horse again, and under the protection of the human circle, Nurhachi asked his subordinates about the changes on the battlefield, but found that in a short period of time, the battlefield had undergone amazing changes that he could not imagine.

"How can so many people be killed or injured? Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops quickly! ”
