Chapter 572 Impatience

Recently, Cui Duyan heard a lot about the combat characteristics of this gang of thieves from the general Zuo Bingding.

The main feature of their operations can be summed up in just two words, and that is - attack!

Offensive! Offensive! Endless attack!

With each offensive battle, they must concentrate their powerful firepower and launch an incomparably swift and suffocating attack, often causing the opponent to collapse in an instant, but their own casualties are minimal.

It is said that until now, no road has been able to withstand such a thunderous blow.

It is only when there is an extreme shortage of manpower that they temporarily stop moving forward and adopt defensive tactics.

And even when defending, they are very different.

They often do not rely on cities as defensive lines, but usually set up positions in the field, relying only on rudimentary trenches or sandbag fortifications, and use the range advantage of their firearms to the extreme.

At the moment, the group of people blocking the road in front of them are only defending and not attacking, which shows that they really don't have many people.

However, the situation in the city is deteriorating, and the gunfire that initially exploded only in the southern city has gradually spread throughout the city, and it sounds like there are more and more thieves breaking through the city.

Cui Duyan listened intently again, the four guns were not dense, especially the defense line behind him was quite quiet, he was a little glad - maybe the city of Yangzhou was too big, slowing down the speed of the Ming thief's advance.

However, he knew very well that the fatal blow would eventually come, and the time left for him would not be too long!

Once they were fully assembled in the northern city and the final assault began, he had no confidence in how long the hastily assembled remnants of the rebels would be able to resist.

For today's plan, the only way out is to drive this surnamed Sun, lead his cannon fodder to press on all fronts, and use the way of fighting for people's heads to smash the obstacle in front of him, so as to take the road and go......

However, his thoughts, the simple Sun Qian, could not understand at all.

"My lord, I think that the thieves are condescending, and the sword and card players are attacking...... The casualties are too great, I'm afraid ......"

"So what do you say?"

Cui Duyan glared at him fiercely.

Is this person really stupid or fake stupid, and he still cares about casualties when he gets to this point?

I've raised you for so long, and as cannon fodder, I really don't have any consciousness of cannon fodder!

"There is also a sentry archer under the lowly ranks,"

Mr. Sun Qian made a clever plan for himself, "Take them out first, and give them a rain of arrows......"

His idea is actually correct, although the archers must also be hit, but fortunately, the archers are different from the sword players, they can lie in the grass, and they may not necessarily kill many people, so it can cause some deterrence, affect the firepower of the thieves, and cover the main force to rush through......

However, he ignored the most important point - the current Vice General Cui can no longer tolerate such slow wave attacks.

"No, archers can't go out, it's useless when they get out,"

Before Cui Duyan could get mad, Wang Jijun on the side shook his head again and again, "If you really want to release arrows, you have to follow behind the sword player, and you must not attack alone!" ”

In his opinion, the archers rushed out and could not take any advantage.

In every respect, the bow and arrow are a big difference compared to the rifle equipped by the thief, which is simply the difference between the god soldier and the burning stick.

It's good to hide in the barracks, after all, the bullets of the thieves can't turn, and the archers don't have to show their heads when they throw at a distance, and they can always hit a few at a time when they see the direction, at least their morale can be damaged, and they are not wearing armor.

"The thief's quick gun is too far,"

As he spoke, he looked at Vice General Cui, "It's much more powerful than our flintlock......"

"That, that shot just now......"

Cui Duyan, who had palpitations, asked, what kind of artifact is this? It's too accurate.

"That's a sniper rifle, it hits farther and more accurately, specializing in ambushes, sneak attacks, and cold punches,"

Wang Jijun replied, "But this kind of gun is rare, even if it is a thief, only the most powerful team can equip it." ”

Actually, he had never seen a sniper rifle, but he had heard the veteran talk about it when he was there, and since Vice General Cui had asked at this moment, he also described the gourd in the same way and repeated it.

As he spoke, he took the waist knife from the hand of one of his own soldiers, took off his helmet, put it on the head of the knife, and slowly erected it on the wall.

Suddenly, with a "boom", the helmet was directly lifted out, and immediately after, the dull sound of a sniper rifle was heard in his ears.

Cui Duyan couldn't help but secretly speak--this accuracy is simply incredible.

"That's not all, the thief has another heavy repeater gun, called a machine gun, I saw it a few times when I was training there......"

Seeing that Vice Admiral Cui did not speak, he explained, "The range and accuracy of this gun are comparable to those of fast robbery, but the rate of fire is much faster...... Far from being something that a bow and arrow can deal with. ”

He looked at Mr. Sun Qian, and made up another knife: "You go out with the archers, and before you reach the killing range of the bow and arrow, you will be knocked down a large piece." ”

"But don't go out...... It's out of reach. ”

Sun Qian is always in trouble.

"My lord, why don't you let the city's cannons bombard him for a few rounds first......"

Wang Jijun looked at the city tower, then looked at Cui Duyan and said, "Before the cannon stops, attack immediately......"

"Well, that's it!"

Cui Duyan suddenly felt that this was a good idea.

Although those earthen hills are out of the range of the Franco's cannons, the red-clothed cannons at the head of the city should still be enough.

"In this case, you immediately assemble your army and wait in front of the pontoon,"

He stretched out his palm to Mr. Sun Qian and instructed, "Five rounds, rush over after five rounds!" ”

After speaking, he couldn't tell the difference, turned his head and waved his hand to his own soldiers: "Go!" Signal the cannon! ”

……

Several heavy cannons at the head of the city soon roared, and one after another huge cannons carried sparks, whistling and smashing towards the opposite bank......

However, listening to the shaking of the ground and the momentum, the number of cannons was obviously too sparse, and the accuracy was too poor.

Not to mention that these cannons smashed directly into the trench, there were not even a few that hit the mound, and most of them landed and jumped on the front and back of the mound......

Tartar's move was originally expected by Mei Jianyong, the second platoon leader.

At this time, almost all the soldiers on the position retreated into the trenches to hide from the artillery.

The co-heavy even dug a cat's ear hole in the trench wall in advance, and at this point, they hid in the narrow hole with their guns - machine guns were too valuable to withstand any losses.

In the shaking of the earth, they seized the time to change the barrels and organize the ammunition boxes.

There are also those who are not afraid of death, and the sniper is still lying on the edge of the ditch - he must be on guard, using the scope to monitor the movement of the pontoon.

In the trench behind him, his lieutenant waited quietly, and if something went wrong, he would not hesitate to step forward to take his place......

In the blink of an eye, five rounds of bombardment passed.

Seeing that there were at most two or three rounds to stop the fire, Cui Duyan waved his hand impatiently and yelled at Mr. Sun Qian: "It's time to attack, hurry!" ”

"Huh!"

Mr. Sun Qian didn't dare to disobey the order, and ran to the gate of the camp quickly, dancing and screaming: "Listen! All the army is attacking! ”
