Chapter 473: Furious Firepower
"You, what did you say?!" Luckard glared at him with a blood-red face, his gaze so fierce that it could almost kill.
"Lord Belle, sooner or later this city wall will be destroyed by the Tang army, we are here to defend it, except for the reimbursement with the city wall, what can we do?" Sun Yanling frowned and shouted loudly.
Listening to Sun Yanling's shouting, Luck Dehun's face was distorted and painful. He had to admit that Sun Yanling's words were reasonable.
Under such fierce and ferocious artillery fire from the Tang army, their so-called stubborn guards were nothing more than meaningless futility.
Into the, what kind of battle is this! Just being beaten, unable to fight back, watching these dogs enter the Tang Army, rampantly and recklessly bombarding the city wall of Lushun with heavy artillery, he has no choice at all, but he can only be beaten passively like a turtle with a shrunken head, in this world, is there anything more aggrieved than this?
It's just that if such a hasty withdrawal order is given, what a blow it will be to the morale of all the defenders!
Lucke was very entangled in his heart, gritting his teeth and making a decision, Sun Yanling on the side hurriedly shouted: "Baylor, the third artillery bombardment of the Tang Army is about to start again, and if you don't make a decision, this defender will only suffer more casualties, what is the point of such a persistence?" Facing Sun Yanling's anxious expression, Luck Dehun let out a long sigh, and then shouted: "You are right, pass on the general's order, all the guards of the city wall, immediately retreat from the city, at the entrances of the streets in the city, set up a formation to meet the enemy, and kill the enemy in the city!" "Whew!
Hearing the order to abandon the city wall, on the four walls, the frightened Manchu and Han soldiers rushed down from the city wall as if they were amnesty. When he saw the Qing army on the eastern city wall, retreating from the city wall like a tide, a sneer crossed Li Xiao's resolute face. This Qing army commander Luck Dehun is regarded as his knowledge of current affairs. If the city wall is completely destroyed, these Qing soldiers can only be buried with this city wall. Li Xiao saw that these Qing troops defending the city, under this absolute violence and death, were crushed like ants, and they had no power to fight back, and finally fled down the city in embarrassment, how can he say how happy he was. It's just that the solidity of the Lushun city wall still made Li Xiao secretly praise it in his heart. Li Xiao remembered that the last time he attacked Lushun, the city wall of Lushun City in Jinzhou was bombarded by 70 dragon guns three rounds before it finally collapsed. Now, Li Xiao saw that the Qing army had built a much thicker and taller wall on the wall in this traditional Chinese way of rammed earth and bricks, and each city wall was built with many more horse faces, thus greatly strengthening the defensive capability. The resistance to shells is much stronger than the last attack. However, Li Xiao had clearly seen from the clairvoyant mirror that the eastern city wall of Lushun, which had been subjected to two rounds of salvo shelling, had cracked everywhere and collapsed, so as long as he continued to fight, the city wall of Lushun could finally be successfully broken by his own dragon bombardment. You must know that the number of continuous shots of the dragon cannon at one time can reach 9 to 10 times, Li Xiao looked at the current damage to the city wall, and he decided in his heart that such a city wall can only withstand six or seven times at most. A hideous expression crossed Li Xiao's face, and then, he coldly ordered.
"Pass on the order of the Duke Army, all dragon bombarders will fire a third salvo bombardment, and you must completely destroy the city wall on the left side of the east!"
"Order!" The commander who directed the firing of the artillery, with the red order flag in his hand, was raised high.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!" 。。。。。。 The heavy artillery roared, the afterburns flew, the smoke filled the sky, and after the third round of heavy dragon cannon salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets crashing and the collapse of the city wall was like the roar of death, and it resounded continuously.
Throughout the eastern city wall, large pieces of broken bricks were splashed, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain, and the pheasant moat and the female wall like torn pieces of cloth flew in all directions.
Only a few rumbling sounds were heard that made the earthquake tremble, and the entire eastern city wall had begun to show many signs of collapse, with large pieces of bricks peeling off, thick and deep cracks, and a lot of rammed earth in the middle falling out.
"Keep attacking, don't stop, until the walls are broken!
“
"Order!
The Tang army fired a volley one after another, and after four full rounds, the entire east gate city wall completely collapsed, looking like a pile of scattered mounds and ruins from a distance. During this time, Luck Dehun, who had retreated from the city, had led the Qing army in the whole city to urgently build fortifications at the entrances of various streets and alleys, and was ready to fight street battles with the Tang army in the city.
"Pass on the order of the Duke Army, all 9,000 musketeers, cooperate with the shield soldiers, form a three-stage strike formation and attack the city directly, cover the rear of the rampant sentry, and the spearmen are at the end, go into the city, and destroy a piece of enemy troops who dare to resist!"
"Order!" Li Xiao ordered this order, 9,000 musketeers, each wearing a sizzling fire rope, holding a long loaded black and shiny Lumi gun in their hands, lined up in three rows and three sections, followed by the 3,000 shield soldiers in front, in the sound of neat drums, marched towards the city in unison.
Behind the firecracker, a mecha-like rampaging sentinel followed. They were divided into two parts, separated on two sides, and firmly guarded the two wings.
In the end, a large number of spearmen followed closely, ready to rush forward and fight the Qing army hand-to-hand after the Lu Mi soldiers withdrew.
When he saw the Tang army and soldiers coming on foot, when they walked in unison, they were commanding a group of Qing troops to deploy at the corners of each street and personally escort the rear of Luckdehun, and his face was like ashes.
Lucketthun saw with his own eyes in the clairvoyant mirror how much the Tang army's Lumi salvo had a killing effect on the Manchurian cavalry that was attacking.
This is still in the case that the Tang army gunners did not gather, and now these 9,000 gunners are shooting together, but the power and lethality effect can be imagined.
In his eyes now, the jet-black Lumi gun is simply like a scythe of death.
And what he didn't know was that the small lead bullet shot from this Lu Mi Gong was only three coins, which was much more powerful than an ordinary fire gun, and the ordinary fire gun could hit a maximum of sixty paces away, and this Lu Mi gun could definitely penetrate the armor of the best armored Qing army in his own array at a distance of one hundred and sixty steps.
No, you can't let the Tang Army attack recklessly like this, and you must not just be a live target for any fight!
So, now you have to order all the defenders to rush out and fight against the Tang army? Luckedhun quickly dismissed the idea.
It is still necessary to wait for the first round of the Tang Army's first release, and then carry out a surprise attack at the chaotic moment when they reload, which is the most effective way.
"Pass on Ben Baylor's order, after the first round of the Tang Army's release, all the defenders will rush out together, fight with them in close combat, and kill these useless and cowardly Han dogs with the bravery and blood of our army!"
"Huh!
Just after Luck Dehun had just finished giving the order, one hundred and fifty paces away, the marching Tang army had stopped walking, and immediately set up a formation, ready to be released.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
"Bang 。。。。。。" With the leading captain shouting, the 3,000 Lu Mi gun was the first to start.
Then, the first row stepped back to the back of the third, followed by the second row of 3,000 shots.
Then the second row retreated to the first row, and the third row of gunners came up and fired another 3,000 Lumi guns.
After the third row of gunners was completed, the original first row of gunmen had already loaded gunpowder and bullets, continued to go to the front, and started a new round of firing again, and the three-stage attack process began again.
The sound of gunshots like bursting beans rang out densely, and the muzzle flames formed a row of dark red flying fire curtains, and thick white smoke immediately surged up on the shields lined up in a straight line.
Countless whistling small lead bullets weighing three coins let out a slight scream, and shot towards the Qing army who was hiding in the defensive fortifications in the streets and alleys on the opposite side.
These hot and hot small lead bullets roared away, and immediately pierced into the bodies of those Qing soldiers like hot knives piercing butter.
Li Xiao's research and development of the Lumi gun, because it is made of fine steel, and is a standard production, the quality is very stable and reliable, the range is much farther than the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Industry produced Lumi gun, its accurate range, more than 20 steps more, reached more than 170 steps.
At a distance of more than 150 paces, the Tang army could accurately shoot and kill the Qing army hiding behind the fortifications.
At the same time, because the Lumi guns and the lead bullets used are all produced in a standard manner and of excellent quality, as long as the guns operate according to the process, the probability of dead fire and explosive bore is extremely small, and in each round of firing, only 5% of the guns are at most discharged, and they cannot be released.
These lead bullets that screamed and shot away, but the rogues on the opposite side were either wearing thick iron armor or holding shields that happened to block them, then these lead bullets were definitely the terrible scythe used to harvest life in the hands of the god of death.
These soft and fine lead bullets, after hitting the human body, are scattered around the human body, forming a terrible cavity effect, cutting muscles, breaking blood vessels, cracking bones, and even more stirring up human organs.
Even if the lead bullet fails to hit the vital point, the person who is hit by the bullet will not live long if he is not treated in time. Because even if it is saved, the lead element in the lead bullet dissolves into the blood, which can make people quickly acute lead poisoning, and with the medical level of this era, it is definitely a terminal illness that must die.
Under the continuous blows of the Tang army, the Qing troops who were hiding behind the fortifications that were urgently built were suddenly beaten.
Like all the Qing troops, Luck Dehun was stunned at this moment. What's going on? The Tang Army's firecrackers, why is it endless?
In their impression, as long as the Ming army's guns withstood the first round of salvos, then, in the next few minutes, the Ming army was in the most defenseless state because it had to reload the ammunition, and they just seized such an opportunity to carry out a surprise attack.
It's just that what has exceeded the imagination of the main general Le Kedehun now is that the Tang army on the opposite side, the dense thousands of Lu Mi guns, as if they will never stop, beat their subordinates to the ground with constant wailing.
Such a dense and concentrated shooting, as if it would never stop, was completely different from any Ming army that had been faced before.
This kind of almost endless firepower was a huge blow to the Qing army's heart. For a time, seven or eight hundred Qing soldiers were killed and wounded at once.
With the rapid increase in the number of dead and wounded, the Qing troops in various places after the fortifications began to quickly become chaotic.
There were even quite a few Qing soldiers who wailed and threw down their weapons, turned around and fled.
"Don't run, don't run, fuck you don't run!" Surrounded by a group of white-toothed soldiers, and at the same time firmly protected by several large shields, Luckedhun yelled at the soldiers who had fled.
However, in the midst of the uproar and confusion, his orders obviously had no effect, and the routs still wailed, and kept fleeing backwards.
Now that the sun had set, the rout quickly disappeared into the darkness of darkness.
Exercise! If you run away any longer, Lao Tzu will become the commander of the light pole, and this city is still guarding a fart!
"Damn, kill Lao Tzu, kill these deserters! Those who flee from the battle will be killed! With a hideous face, Luck roared, drew his sword, and took the lead in slashing at the rout who turned and fled.
Seeing that the Lord was so mercilessly slashed, the guards also mercilessly slashed at the deserters. It's just that under the dense sound of Lumi gun, which is like firecrackers and almost doesn't know when it will stop, Luckdhun's method of killing and intimidating is obviously not very effective.
Under the frantic killing of his own commander and the non-stop shooting of the Tang army on the opposite side, the Qing army, which was already in a panic, has reached a state of collapse.
"Li Xiao, who entered the dog, I must kill you, a lowly Han dog, and I must kill you, the hateful Nikan!" Liu Zongmin's eyes were blood-red, and while slashing and slashing more and more routed soldiers, he scolded sharply with the most vulgar and obscene words.
Seeing the Liukou army formation, under the three-stage shooting of his own Lu Mi gun, he was overwhelmed, hundreds of casualties kept happening, and there was more and more chaos, Li Xiao in the Tang army formation was extremely happy.
You hateful Tartars, enjoy the taste of our army's three-stage strike! The sound of banging like popping beans was the most beautiful piece of music of the night to Li Xiao's ears.
"Lord Belle! Now that the morale of the army is in great disgrace, the spirit is exhausted, and the soldiers are fleeing more and more, how can this battle still be fought! Let's retreat quickly, this Lushun City will never be able to hold it! Sun Yanling, whose face was covered in blood, touched over with more than a dozen personal soldiers, and shouted loudly at Luckdhun who was red-eyed after killing the defeated soldiers.
Remove? Can it be withdrawn? Now that the Tang army has completely blocked the north gate of escape, and his subordinates are already in chaos, can they really escape?
What's more, he said that he wanted to avenge his brother who died tragically after being skinned and weeded, and he also swore a heavy oath in front of Huang Taiji, how could he abandon the city and flee?
I'd rather die in battle than live and die with this Lushun! Thinking of this, Luck's blood-red eyes widened, turned his head, and yelled at Sun Yanling: "Sun Yanling, you Han dog!" If you dare to abandon the city and flee, you despicable coward, Ben Belle will ......" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a thud and a sharp pain in his back.
He turned his head in shock, but saw a simple knife, which had already stabbed into his back, and it was one of Sun Yanling's guards who was holding the handle of the knife in his hand.
Seeing that Luck Dehun turned his head to look at him, the guard gritted his teeth and continued to stab forward, the bloody tip of the Pu knife had already penetrated through his chest, and then stirred it vigorously, bringing out a large cloud of blood mist.
