Chapter 320: Rain of Bullets Waiting
Chapter 320 Rain of Bullets Waits
Dense bullets rained down on the galloping cavalry.
Under the faint light of the fire, the gray wave of the charging of the Qing army's front team was instantly torn to pieces, and one after another war horses leaped with a wail, and then fell to the ground with a bang, the riders suffered heavy casualties, and they were no longer in formation in a blink of an eye.
However, the cavalry in the rear had already started to speed up, and they couldn't stop at all in their eagerness, and they all raised their swords and shouted loudly, and the momentum was extremely bluffing.
Some of the wounded soldiers, who had just fallen off their horses, wailed and tried to get up, but in the blink of an eye they were trampled into flesh by the iron hooves of their own people......
Liu Jinzhong knew that it was inevitable that he would suddenly ambush in such a narrow place, and heavy casualties under the random guns.
But at the moment, there is no other way, only risking death to charge the group is the most effective tactic to deal with the platoon of guns.
The hillside in front of you is not high, as long as three or five cavalry can rush in front of the thief, they can tear a hole alive, and then the wind-like iron cavalry surges up, and it is the world of sabers!
However, as soon as he rushed out not far away, Liu Jinzhong found out in despair - is this special mother called a charge? This is death!
Obviously, the thief's firearms were not only farther than anything he had ever seen, but the speed of his bursts was even more terrifying, and the oncoming rain of bullets was so dense that it could make people doubt their lives.
The "whoosh" sound of the gun flying in his ears, as well as the ecstatic "poof" sound when he got into the flesh, made Liu Jinzhong feel loveless!
The hillside where the thief was located should have been five or six hundred paces away, but even the cavalry who was lucky enough to rush the farthest would only drive more than two hundred paces before he would inevitably be shot and fall to the ground.
it! I can't get close at all!
What's even more terrifying is that from time to time, they will be subjected to ghostly guns from a great distance, this gun is so powerful that several people are shot without warning, and inexplicably, either the skull is missing, or a hole in the chest suddenly appears......
Liu Jinzhong was like a basin of cold water poured from head to toe, and under instinct, he had to lie on the horse's back tightly, without looking at the sides, just whipping hard and running forward desperately.
Several of his personal guards guarded him tightly, and they also lowered their heads and slammed into him, rushing forward desperately......
At this moment, Duan Zhenghong was holding a telescope, quietly observing the chaotic horse team in front of him.
Suddenly, he saw that in the middle of the cavalry group, there were more than a dozen horsemen wrapped together, turning left and right to avoid the rain of bullets, and in the faint light, he saw a person's helmet glowing with a dazzling light.
"It's a general!" Duan Zhenghong's eyes lit up, "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" ”
Duan Zhenghong threw the binoculars, leaned down, tore the machine gunner next to him away, and shouted, "Let me come!" ”。
After that, he personally operated the machine gun, and after a little aim, he opened fire to the group of centaurs, and came up with a long point shot.
"Sneer......"
Duan Zhenghong was a veteran machine gunner, and he was much more familiar with the performance of this modern weapon than any of the soldiers present, plus he was targeted, and he flew accurately towards the general with the first shuttle.
The next moment, a string of bullets flew head-on, spilling on Liu Jinzhong and his mount......
At this time, the other machine gunners also changed from intense strafing to long and short bursts, and the bullets only hit the gray shadows that looked larger, leaving the lone stragglers to the carbines.
There are also machine gunners who are particularly fast and have stopped firing, and the co-shooter, who wears special gloves, is quickly replacing the barrel that has been burned to the point of smoking......
Within a few minutes, the entire 300 Qing army iron cavalry had collapsed.
The ground was littered with the wreckage of horses and riders, and only a few scattered groups of men and horses were left to wander aimlessly to avoid the rain of bullets......
Duan Zhenghong was refreshed, and the machine gun in his hand fired a series of extremely rhythmic long and short bursts, and his shoulders shook in the same rhythm as the others.
It was a great feeling for a long time, and for him, it was as if a luthier was playing his beloved piano, which was intoxicating.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly glimpsed puffs of white smoke from the city, and then the cannon roared, and he was shocked and secretly screamed that it was not good, and subconsciously lowered his head.
The next moment, he only heard a clanging of the helmet on his head, and something was smashed on his body, and it hurt and hurt.
He hurriedly shook his head and shook his shoulders, scattered a body of rubble, looked up, and saw that a soldier had fallen in front of him, his face was covered with blood, which was very terrifying, and he found that he was still moaning, knowing that there was still salvation, and then looking at the wound, it turned out that his face was cut by a few iron sheets and stones.
Duan Zhenghong slapped his head in annoyance!
Hemp eggs! You pig brain, no wonder you are always scolded by the captain!
Isn't this too excited, not only forgetting the duties of a commander, but also forgetting to pay close attention to the movements of the city!
Fortunately, only a few small tiger squat guns of the Qing army opened fire, but the rest of the large-caliber artillery guns that fired solid iron balls did not move.
It turned out that when Huang Zuoling of the Qing army saw that Lord Liu was suddenly attacked, he was killed or injured in the blink of an eye, and his legs immediately weakened with fright, and he was dumbfounded when he grabbed the battlement, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
The next moment, fortunately, a personal soldier beside him reminded him, and he suddenly woke up, yes, he had to send a cannon to help the war!
So, at the sound of an order, the artillerymen at the head of the city lit their guns one after another, and in an instant, patches of cannons flew into the forest on the hillside wrapped in clouds of white smoke.
However, seeing that the forest where the thieves were hiding was too close, Huang Zuoling was clever enough to only order the tiger squat cannons that fired iron nails and stones to fire.
He had a plan in his heart, so that he could hit the thieves a mile away, and it would not cause a landslide and affect Lord Liu's cavalry.
Those large-caliber cannons fired heavy and far iron, and they could shoot three miles away, and if they wanted to hit closer, they had to reduce the amount of charge, and they had to keep the muzzle as low as possible.
But in this way, if he hits a stinky person and accidentally smashes Lord Liu and them in the city, it will cause a big disaster, and he will have to slaughter himself when he turns back.
……
As soon as he saw that someone was injured, Duan Zhenghong was furious!
He immediately sprang to his feet and shouted with all his strength towards the top of his head, "Mortar! Fire! ”
On the hill above him, among the bushes, six M224 mortars with a caliber of 60mm caliber had already been swinged, and the muzzles of the black hole were all aimed at the head of the city, and the gunners and ammunition men were already in place.
However, Duan Zhenghong did not give the order for a long time, and the soldiers could only stare anxiously when they saw that the front was a pot of porridge.
Now, the head of the Qing army took the lead in firing cannons, and the stones and iron nails that were shot out flew whizzing, but they did not dodge or dodge, and they did not move like a mountain.
One of the most important things to say is that even if they are hit by a stone, no soldier will move, and they can neither hide nor run without orders.
Therefore, Duan Zhenghong did make a big mistake, as a battlefield commander, how could he take care of one thing and do what a machine gunner should do.
Fortunately, the Qing army only shot stones, and if an iron ball flew in, maybe even the mortar position would be destroyed by one shot.
Duan Zhenghong's scream finally came, and the gunners, who had long been suffocated, immediately moved like robots that had suddenly been energized.
Within a few seconds, the first wave of shells flew out of the muzzle......
