No. 133 Fierce Battle Kimineguchi (2)

But the Eight Banners are worthy of being one of the most powerful armies in the Ming and Qing dynasties, they are well-trained, and they are not afraid of death.

Especially in Duoduo's army, the main force is the Zhengbai flag, and in the Eight Banners Army, strictly speaking, counting the Mongolian two banners and the traitor banner soldiers, it is one of the 11 banner soldiers, which can be called one of the ace divisions.

In addition, they are very familiar with the fighting style of the Ming army, the Tartars have fought net wars over the years, in addition to fighting with the Mongols, that is, fighting with the Koreans, and the other is mainly with the Ming army, fighting has become commonplace for them, and these Tartars outside the pass have become stronger and stronger through fighting, as if they were born for war, and they have grown up in war.

It can be said that Jun is an old rival of the two of them.

Although the cannonballs were flying, the fireballs were bursting into the sky, the smoke was everywhere, and the ground was shaking, they were still desperately rushing forward, stepping on the blood and limbs of their comrades.

They naively thought that these Ming troops were nothing more than that, and that as long as they could break through their artillery defenses, they would become sheep to be slaughtered.

After a round of 30 cannons, the Tartars who had fallen to the ground outside the fortress were killed and wounded. After all, the power of red-coated cannons is limited, the most important thing is their deterrent power, when the deterrent power does not work, in the era of cold weapons, relying on a few cannons alone cannot stop the footsteps of the chargers.

Under the command of the general, the artillerymen hurriedly reloaded their ammunition and prepared for the second round of shelling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tartars rushed forward, and at once rushed within a range of two hundred meters.

At this time, Lin Yi, who was in the city, put down the second order flag.

"Aim, fire!" Lin Yi also had hundreds of musketeers under his command, and the sources of these musketeers were mainly in two parts. The first is that it is the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the second is the musket ammunition obtained from the Jin merchants they intercepted, so that more than 100 people are equipped, plus the men and horses sent to him by Liu Zhaoji this time, all add up to the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Lin Yi, of which, the musketeers alone accounted for 500 people, and there were 300 musketeers in Xifengkou Guancheng.

Among the 300 muskets, the main weight is the firestone, the bird, and the three-eyed gun, and most of them are arquebuses.

At this time, 300 musketeers also came in handy, they trained every day, and there were elite special fighters like Lin Yi personally guided, after several months of training, this group of musketeers all became snipers, their hands were fast and straight, and their accuracy was very good.

At this time, listening to Lin Yi's order, the crackling was like a firecracker with red earth, the smoke was filled, and the Tartars were shot and fell off their horses one after another, especially the Tartars who ran in front, falling down in batches in rows.

Many of these Tartars were directly shot in the head on the galloping warhorse, like a ripe watermelon, and the blood mist sprayed and then dispersed. The smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.

The cannon just now did not deter the group of Tartars, but this burst of muskets frightened them.

The cannon begins with the musket sweeps the tail. Such a simple combination is not insignificant. As a result, the first charge, which lasted nearly half an hour, was left dead and wounded by the Tartars and retreated.

"Quick! Reload your ammo! "Artillerymen and musketeers hastened to take advantage of this moment to speed up the charge and reload.

", this is running? Duoduo's men and horses are nothing more than that, Lao Tzu's archers, the rolling wood and stones on the head of the city are useless, and the charging team is also waiting here! ”

Lin Yi smiled in his heart and put the telescope down temporarily.

"Brother Lin, when are we going to kill it?" Zhezhe beside him was a little impatient.

"Don't worry, they'll come again, wait for them to rush a few times." ……

Duoduo stood on a high ground, directing the battle. Five thousand climbers, also known as death squads, were ready, all infantrymen, with ladders and knives on their bodies, waiting for Doduo's order to rush over and climb the city.

If the first echelon succeeded in breaking through the Ming army's fire defense line, attacked near the city wall, and suppressed the firepower at the head of the city, it was time for them to organize a 5,000 death squad and rush over to climb the city

But Duoduo saw that the first echelon was defeated, and in just over half an hour, more than 2,000 horses had been lost. Duoduo's face was expressionless, and he swung the battle sword, and thousands of men and horses in the second echelon rushed forward again with shouts.

"Damn it again, it's good to come, fire!"

Lin Yi grasped the fire just now, and the Tartar soldiers rushed within 500 meters and ordered the cannons on the city to roar angrily.

Then there were 300 musketeers, but this time the Tartar charge was much more fierce than the last, within a hundred meters, and some had already reached the bottom of the walls.

They began to shoot arrows at the top of the city, charging and shooting.

It turned out that these Tartars did not rush over and be shot by gun, but when they were within range of their bows and arrows, they shot arrows at their heads, hoping to suppress the fire at the head of the city, and then let the soldiers behind them come and climb the city with ladders. In other words, the charge in front is a cover, and the real siege is carried out by the climbing troops with ladders in the back.

But at this time, arrows rained down on the city.

The Tartars were good at riding horses and archery, but now they found that the Ming army on the head of the city was not only good at the accuracy of cannons and muskets, but also with such great power of bows and arrows. And they were condescending, and these Tartars had to shoot arrows at the top of the city.

As a result, the Tartars suffered again in this round of fire, and it is ironic that they broke through the defense line of artillery fire and were shot back by bows and arrows.

This time, Duoduo was furious, and slashed the supreme commander of the second echelon, Gu Shan Ezhen, under his horse.

Then the defeated men and horses of the first and second echelons all joined the third echelon, so that the third echelon exceeded 10,000 horses.

Duoduo gave them a death order, if this time he couldn't suppress the firepower of the Ming army at the head of the city, and let the climbing team behind him successfully climb the city, he would kill them all.

Duoduo then organized a thousand men, led by him himself, and these thousand men did not charge, but specially supervised the battle in the back, and those who charged unfavorably, or ran back to kill them all.

In this way, more than 10,000 Tartars of the third echelon, under the personal leadership of the two Gushan Ezhen, overwhelmed the world.

Thousands of horses galloping, the momentum is fierce.

Lin Yi looked at the Tartar this time, and he should have done his best.

When the Tartars rushed into range, the third round of artillery bombardment of the Ming army began, and after the cannon roared, hundreds of musketeers also opened fire.

But this time the Tartars no longer retreated, and they knew that to rush forward was death, and to retreat was death. Dying on the battlefield is better than being slashed to death by their prince's warlord's warlord.

Therefore, this time, after paying a large number of casualties, the Tartars attacked the city.

But this time there were no arrows shooting down on the city, the sound of cannons stopped, the muskets listened, the bows and arrows also stopped, Mingjun seemed to disappear from the ground, there was no movement on the city, only countless Tartars outside the city shot arrows at the city.

When Duoduo saw it, this time it was done, and this was what he wanted. There is no need to ask, it must be that the firepower of the Ming army at the head of the city has been suppressed, or that they have no ammunition, and the capture of Guancheng and the killing of Lin Yi are in front of them.

At best, there are only a few thousand Ming troops on Guancheng, can they still withstand the several fierce charges of Prince Yu? The fighting on the Qingziling side was also fierce, and it also contained a part of Lin Yi's army, in this case, how long could the Ming army support?

When Duoduo thought about it, he felt that victory was in sight.

Therefore, as soon as he gave the order, five thousand death squads of the Tartars rushed over with ladders and knives pinned to their waists.

Just under the city wall, some of the Tartars had just erected a ladder and climbed up the city. The Ming army on the head of the city suddenly shouted that the sound of killing shook the sky, the musketeers, archers, and rolling wood and stones were put down together, it turned out that Lin Yi had just ordered to stop shooting, and he was making time for the musketeers to reload ammunition, and the muskets and bows and arrows also stopped, and the rolling wood and stones all stopped, using this trick to confuse the enemy.

The Tartars were really fooled, and the Ming army suddenly counterattacked at the head of the city, and the Tartars who erected ladders to climb the city suffered heavy casualties. Those who were shot by muskets, those who were shot by bows and arrows, those who were stoned, those who were hit by Tartars that fell from above, those who collided and squeezed each other, and the casualties were innumerable.

At this time, the Tartars knew that they had been fooled, and they were responsible for covering the Tartars and hurriedly shot arrows at the city.

Just then, the gates opened. Lin Yi personally led more than 1,000 Guanning Iron Horsemen to kill them from Weng City......
