Chapter 394: Da Ming Sniper (4) 6000 words big chapter
When Wu Keshan's men and horses arrived near this forest, Lin Yi and the thirty soldiers of the women's battalion such as Xiaoying and Su Moer had been in ambush here for several hours, to be precise, they were in place at the third watch last night.
The reason why he did this, of course, Lin Yi had his own considerations, one was to avoid the Qing army's probing eyeline, the Qing army was not a headless fly, they also had their own intelligence system, if Lin Yi and dozens of them were discovered by the Qing army's intelligence system, it would be in vain.
Second, a few hours in advance is a training and adaptation for the soldiers of the Green Battalion who are carrying out this task for the first time, which are very necessary, and can even be said to be a matter of life and death.
Lin Yi has long been optimistic about the terrain here, and a few large mushroom-shaped artemisia grass in front of the woods are the natural hidden barrier for Lin Yi and others, and they wear special "camouflage uniforms" designed by Lin Yi and made by Su Moer himself with artemisia grass and leaves, and mix them with the real big mushroom-shaped artemisia grass to confuse the real one, not to mention two hundred meters away, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from fifty meters away.
The six snipers, including Lin Yi, each found their positions, and then each of their five auxiliaries hid beside them. Five auxiliaries serve as a sniper, mainly to load ammunition, hand guns, etc.
Because now they use this kind of self-generated flintlock pistol at that time, although it was more than a hundred years advanced, but it is still not comparable with the guns of later generations, the most lethal thing is that this musket has a short range and can not be fired continuously, the loading charge is a big problem, only one bullet can be fired at a time, in this case, in order to play the basic function of the sniper rifle in later generations, it takes the help of several auxiliaries to complete.
Of the five snipers, three of them were hiding in the artemisia grass with their auxiliaries, and the remaining two snipers, including Sumol, were hiding in two large trees with their auxiliaries, which were scattered in front of the woods, dozens of meters apart from each other, so that each sniper's hiding position was at least twenty meters away from each other.
This is the fixed position that Lin Yi chose in advance, because Lin Yi knows that the most important point of a sniper is first of all concealment, which is also a kung fu or skill, which is higher and more professional than the requirements of the criminal police to arrest criminals and squatting and guarding the point.
Because once exposed, even one person is exposed in advance, it will affect the overall situation of this sniper war, and then the consequences will be unimaginable.
The concealment of the criminal police to arrest the prisoner is exposed, which will cause the prisoner to escape, and it is a big deal to find an opportunity to ambush again, but this is different, now it is a battle between the two armies, which is related to the lives of countless soldiers and the overall situation of this war.
This is the real careless move, lose all the games!
Therefore, Lin Yi must be cautious, and he has now taken out all the training accumulation and actual combat essence during his time in the Marine Corps before the crossing.
Because he knows that this battle is not trivial, in such an environment and under such conditions, if this time can not eliminate this Qing Dynasty's "special soldiers", his prestige is a trivial matter, and the defeat is just around the corner, and then even the defeat of the Ming army will inevitably be demoralized, and then lightning defeat is not uncommon, since the Shanhaiguan War in history, Li Zicheng's destruction will not only happen to the Dashun army, God is absolutely fair, and will not favor him because he is a traverser. Because he has not had any plug-ins so far except for the experience of special soldiers in his previous life, this is not like the protagonist in a film and television novel, Lin Yi knows it very well!
Considering that although these dozens of girls have been in the barracks for a long time, and some are even veterans for several years, it is the first time to engage in such a special military operation today, so Lin Yi took them to hide a few hours in advance, in order to have an adaptation and exercise for them.
In order to eliminate all kinds of adverse effects, they began to stop eating or drinking since yesterday, but when it was close to evening yesterday, Lin Yi took them to have a full meal. This meal is very nutritious, enough to eat and drink enough to maintain energy for the day, and the rest can only be endured.
Otherwise, this shit for a while, peeing for a while, coughing, and farting will definitely affect their concealment effect, especially women sometimes have a lot of private affairs.
Lin Yi asked them that once they entered a state of concealment, they did not order anyone not to move lightly, even if it endangered their personal lives, such as unpredictable factors such as snakes or thunder and lightning, even if they died, they could not expose the target.
Of course, this is not a matter of talking, from the third watch last night to dawn, these two hours are their pre-study warm-up, or called a small training, but after dawn, these beautiful girls can be suffocated, some were bitten by insects, some skin contact with these grass and forest reacted, red, swollen, itchy and unbearable, some did nothing, but a posture for half a night is also grinning.
As a result, there were whispering voices, turning over, tickling, all kinds of strange movements and strange sounds, Lin Yi gave them a warning at dawn, and then moved a little to continue to hide, this time these female battalion soldiers knew that the pot was iron.
In addition, they are also strange, how did their Lord Lin come up with these whimsical tricks? Does this work? But the military order is like a mountain, and he knows Lin Yi's temper even more, and the thirty-five female battalion soldiers, including Xiaoying and Su Moer, as well as the female soldier of the dynasty, no one dares to slack off in the slightest.
After dawn, they hid for more than an hour, and then they found that there were indeed Qing army scouts near him, and there was more than one, and they quietly went to the woods to see, and went around in the grass, and then went to the back of the woods to reconnoitre, and found nothing suspicious, so they retreated.
At that moment, Lin Yi and the dozens of people held their breath, they knew that the most critical time had come, there was a spy of the Qing army who was only a few meters away from Xiao Ying when he was the closest, Xiao Ying and his auxiliaries hurriedly let the leaves block their eyes, some only showed half of their eyes, they all dared not come out, and then prepared the short knives and bows and arrows in their hands.
Wan Out was exposed, and they had to be killed in an instant, and then the corpse was destroyed, which was the only remedy that Lin Yi told them.
Su Moer on the tree also prepared a flying needle, but fortunately, these Qing spies did not find anything in the end. It wasn't until they had retreated for half a day that Lin Yi and these female battalion soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
But they still didn't dare to move lightly in the hidden state, as if they were angry people, as if they had merged with the leaves and plants around them and the real leaves!
But sweat can't be hidden, this is the most severe test, especially after Xiaoying has passed this time, her whole body is drenched in sweat.
But after that, there was no sweat on her body, because she hadn't eaten or drunk for a few hours, and with such a high energy consumption, even if that thing had changed a long time ago, now she didn't dare to think about food at all!
Because as long as you dare to think about it casually, your stomach and intestines will immediately start to stir up, gurgling. People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Although it has been since last night, I have only eaten two meals. But from the third watch last night to the current morning, the energy consumption in these few hours is too great, it is more than a day of heavy physical work, how can you not know hunger and thirst?
Especially Xiaoying, don't look at him as a person in the barracks, put on a military uniform, and be a soldier on the battlefield, but now she is a dual identity after all, a quasi-queen mother, and she can be regarded as a person with a noble identity who eats and wears, so she is so hungry that she is like a greedy cat who has not seen meat for a few days.
But when she thought of the difficult task in front of her, which was more important to eat or win the battle to save her life, she also forgot about it.
At last the time came to really test them, and it was not until near noon, through the barrier of the leaves, that they could see the dust rising on the official road in the distance, and they immediately went back to their most nervous state, forgetting the rest.
With the sound of people shouting and neighing, they lined up at a glance, and this special Qing army came close in the blink of an eye......
After the Qing army's Tanma quietly retreated, Lin Yi deliberately placed his Qinglong Yanyue Broadsword in the middle of the road.
Seeing this knife, the Qing army really didn't dare to go forward. However, when he met Wu Keshan, a fluged head, and his deputy general Min Min Temurtima came close, he ordered someone to pull out this knife.
Lin Yi saw that it was time to make a move, he didn't fire the first shot, of course no one dared to move.
Of course, Lin Yi had to take the officer's shot, and Lin Yi didn't know Wu Keshan and Minmin Mutel, but he had been hiding in the artemisia grass for a long time, and from their movements and the clothes of these two officials, he knew that their positions were definitely not low in the army.
Therefore, Lin Yi aimed at Wu Keshan and decisively knocked on the trigger.
"Smack-"
A bullet flew out of the artemisia grass and accurately nailed between Wu Keshan's eyebrows.
At this time, Wu Keshan was shouting arrogantly, and none of these Qing troops, including Wu Keshan, could shoot at him coldly in the artemisia grass in the distance.
Because many of their scouts had already figured out this area in advance, there was no ambush at all, and the Ming army did not dare to fight on the way.
As for the knife standing in the middle of the road, at most it was just a trick for the Ming army, so the Qing army was fooled.
Wu Keshan instantly felt that his head was like an explosion, his eyes were blood-red, and his two eyes rolled over and fell off the horse, and he had already died of anger.
Because he was shot in the head, the blood accompanied by the five red flowers and green brains was cut on the ground on horseback, and the faces of the soldiers who were close to him were all over the body.
Lin Yi's shot was too accurate, and this shot was also a signal to start shooting, and as this shot fired, Xiaoying's gun, Su Muer's gun, and the other three snipers also pulled the trigger on their respective targets.
Bang bang bang bang
In addition to Wu Keshan, three more Qing soldiers fell one after another.
One of them was the Niu Lu Ezhen who volunteered to rush over to draw his sword, and the other two were the leaders of the Qing army.
But Wu Keshan's lieutenant general, the commander of the camel artillery team of Mobei Mongolia, Min Min Temur, was excepted.
It's not because the sniper who aimed at Minentmur can't be accurate, but because this Mongolian Tartar is too cunning, as soon as the gun rang out, he has experienced a hundred battles, and he was so experienced that when he saw Wu Keshan being shot in the head, he was so frightened that he was really out of his body, and immediately realized that there was a gun in the secret that had been aimed at him.
Therefore, he immediately rolled into the saddle and dismounted, and narrowly escaped a shot.
But he dodged, and one of the small leaders of the guard behind him did not dodge, and was shot through the neck.
There was an extra hole in his neck for no reason, and his screaming voice had changed due to unbearable pain, which was of course different from normal people, because it was leaking air while spurting blood, making an ugly sound like a hoarse rooster crowing, and fell off the horse with a handful of blood splashes.
Six shots were fired successively, four were knocked down, three of them were shot in the head, and the worst was the Niu Lu Zhangjing who volunteered to fly out and rush out to pull out the Qinglong Yanyue knife in the middle of the road.
Because someone else was shot once, and he was shot twice at the same time.
This is due to the fact that there were two snipers aiming at him at the same time and striking the trigger at the same time. One bullet hit him in the eyebrow, while the other hit his temple, due to the fact that the two snipers were fired at different angles and inadvertently aimed at a target without discussion.
Therefore, when this Niu Lu Zhangjing was dying, there were two holes in his head, one more hole than the rest of the headshots, which may be regarded as the Ming army's reward for his courage in recommending himself!
It is said that it is too late and then fast, and these 6 shots start from the first shot to the end of the last shot, which is a matter of time in the blink of an eye. They could hear the first shot clearly, and the next 5 shots were basically connected to each other, and they couldn't tell the specific number, and it didn't take more than 5 seconds before and after.
In the blink of an eye, the four leaders were attacked and fell in a pool of blood, and more importantly, there was also their high-ranking prince Wu Keshan.
At this time, the Qing army was in a big chaos, with a look of consternation, their eyes moving in all directions, their heads like rattles, and their two eyes seemed to be not enough at all, but they picked their eyes for a long time and did not find a single Ming army, only saw the faint white smoke in front of the woods, which dissipated instantly.
It's because the lieutenant reacts quickly.
Minmin Myrtle jumped off his horse and narrowly escaped the fatal shot, and in a panic, he immediately ordered the team to retreat.
Although he didn't see any Ming soldiers, he also saw the white smoke in front of the trees in the distance, and concluded that there was an ambush by the Ming army.
The Qing army retreated more than 100 meters in a panic, but since the six shots were fired, there has been no movement in the woods.
"Stop!" The adjutant general, Min Min Muttle, is now of course the supreme commander here, because Wu Keshan is dead, and with a wave of his hand, the Qing army stopped retreating.
They stared at the forest in front of them for a long time, but they never moved.
Minmin Muttel was angry, and he stepped forward and died, and the main general Wu Keshan, the regent Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, how to explain there?
He immediately ordered someone to snatch the dead bodies back, and then gritted his teeth and moved his camel artillery team to the front, "Don't you come out!" Listen to me, concentrate your fire on the woods and blast me, so that they will be wiped out and buried in the woods! ”
The commander of the Qing army shouted with all his might, and dozens of people, including the Ming snipers who were hidden in the artemisia grass and trees more than 200 meters away, could faintly hear half a sentence, and some could only see Minmin Muter's mouth move, and they couldn't hear what he was calling clearly, because the distance was a bit far.
They now knew that the first round of shooting was quite successful, and the six shots knocked down four officers, some of whom were certainly not small, otherwise they would not have caused a riot and forced them back hundreds of meters.
Outside the range, of course, the snipers can't shoot anymore, otherwise it's a waste of bullets and self-exposure. At this time, the Qinglong Glaive Broadsword that Lin Yi was standing in the middle of the road also became a reference for them to visually measure the effective shooting distance of the musket.
But at this time, the camel artillery team came out, and the camels stood in several rows, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at them.
The faces of these Ming snipers and those auxiliaries suddenly became stunned, and the soldiers of the female battalion all looked in the direction of Lin Yi's ambush, and the auxiliaries behind Lin Yi even asked Lin Yi directly in a whisper.
These female soldiers and soldiers were frightened, the Qing army on the opposite side was about to open fire, so many cannons bombarded together, didn't they all become cannon fodder? Now that the Qing army has retreated, they can't snipe anymore, so let's just retreat quickly, you can't stare at the artillery!
But Lin Yi was very calm, and the face covered behind the leaves was still as calm as a mountain, and he told the auxiliary soldiers around him in a low voice: Don't be afraid, girls, they are the forest behind us, no one is allowed to act rashly, which exposes the target military law!
At this time, Lin Yi and they certainly can't retreat, because their task has not yet been completed, although they have overturned 4 Tartars, there must be a big official of Tartars here, but what they have to deal with is a camel artillery team, and now this team of the Qing army has not yet appeared, how can they retreat casually?
The 5 auxiliaries behind Lin Yi nodded, and said in their hearts, my lord, you can judge accurately, hear clearly, if they bombard us, or take our side with the woods, then we will be all finished today!
Thinking about it again, even if it was like that, they were not afraid, because with their Lord Lin with them, even if they died, they felt that there was nothing to be afraid of, Lin Yi had already become the god in their hearts!
The 5 auxiliaries behind Lin Yi will pass on this kind of order if it can be passed out, and there is no need to pass the order if it is far away, because the actions of Lin Yi's 6 people are the benchmark for other people's actions, Lin Yi's 6 people do not move, and the remaining 30 people dare not act rashly.
36 pairs of eyes, through the gap between artemisia grass and leaves, stared closely at the Qing army's dispatch of troops two or three hundred meters away.
Minmin Muttel gave an order, and the 10,000 Qing troops began to adjust their formation, moving to the back or to both sides, and the heavy ironclad cavalry was also exposed, but hundreds of camel artillery teams were lined up at the front.
Lin Yi and the other girls could see it clearly, one by one, the camels dragging the cannons were lined up, and they stood in several rows neatly, as if they were several echelons. There is a certain interval between each row and between each camel.
At this time, the well-trained Mongol soldiers came over and began to adjust the height of the muzzle, which determined the range of the cannon, and at the same time, someone was responsible for aiming, someone was responsible for loading and charging, and the three Mongol soldiers and one cannon camel cannon were arranged in the blink of an eye.
"Ignition!" At the sound of an order, the fuses of the camel cannons were lit one after another.
At this time, facing the muzzle of the black hole, Lin Yi was as steady as Mount Tai and as firm as iron on the surface, but his heart was also hanging in his throat. I secretly pray in my heart that you Mongolian Tartars must be targeted, and your commander asked you to bomb the woods behind us, but don't make a mistake!
At this time, the camel cannon on the opposite side rang out, and Lin Yi closed his eyes.
"Boom, boom......"
Hundreds of camel cannons were fired, and the power of so many cannons fired one after another can be imagined.
For a while, the mountains shook and deafened. The birds and beasts in the forest were frightened and flew around, as if the end of the world was coming, and one by one the cannonballs landed accurately in the woods, and then exploded the flowers.
Between the flashes of firelight, some of the canopies of trees were blown away, some of the tree poles were blown off, the branches flew wildly, the stumps and leaves were scorched and flew into the sky, some places the smoke was billowing out, and some places were blazing.
A cannonball flew above Lin Yi's head, and these female soldiers were so frightened that no one dared to open their eyes, burying their heads deep in the leaves, and some buried them in the trunks and grass, looking resigned to fate.
In the end, Lin Yi felt as if his eardrums were deafening.
In this way, the first round of shelling was completed, but these Qing troops, this wood, except for the light of fire and smoke, saw nothing.
Lin Yi and Xiaoying hid in the artemisia grass and didn't move, Su Moer and the others hid in the trees, they all went out now, just based on the actions of Lin Yi and the others, Lin Yi and the others didn't move, and everyone else was motionless, letting the artillery fire fly all over their heads, and then explode behind their backs, which required more than just courage.
After the artillery stopped, these Qing troops were all wondering, including the commander of the camel artillery team, Min Min Myrtle, could all the Ming troops in the forest be killed? Why didn't you even see a single figure from the beginning to the end? The neighing of the horses, the screams of the people, and the scenes of scattering and running away are all gone? How many Ming troops were ambushed inside? Why don't you see their red-coated cannons fire back?
These Qing soldiers looked at each other one by one, their faces full of suspicion, and finally all eyes fell on the face of their commander Min Min Mutel.
This high-ranking general from Mobei Mongolia, Xiao Heihu pouted, and his eyes rolled, "No, rush over to me and keep bombing!" ”
Min Min Muttel thought that the intensity of the bombardment was far from enough, and these Ming troops were likely to hide in the depths of the woods, and they definitely couldn't just forget it, they had to bomb this forest into ruins and see where they could hide!
So he gave another order, and the highly mobile camel artillery team began to move forward, and these big camels took great strides, carrying cannons on their backs, and walked forward with a clatter.
Moved more than 100 meters and stopped, and then the camel artillery team continued to bombard the woods.
But this time it was different, because they had already entered the sniper range circle of the Ming sniper, and Lin Yi and they risked being bombarded by artillery, and they were waiting for this moment......
