Chapter 112: Dock Fort Bloody Battle 3

"Xie Zhen, you take the third squadron of the Dingyuan Battalion and 300 militiamen to defend the east side."

"Yes, Castle Master."

"Remember, you can strike, but don't go too far."

"Don't worry, castle master, I won't make the same mistake again."

"The others will defend the west with me, ready to shake the sky and the cannons." Xu Shiyang said: "Wooden cannons loaded with shotguns are not allowed to shoot at shield vehicles, so don't waste firepower. Try it out with the Mark II first. ”

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

At this time, a low horn was heard outside, and the attack of the Tartars began.

"Let's get ready!" Xu Shiyang said loudly: "Tartar never want to break through our dock fort!" ”

……

The camp of the Jin army was about one and a half miles away from the trench of Fort 153, and even for the slow-moving shield carts, this distance was within easy reach.

Xu Shiyang still came to the front line near the chest wall, standing in his position and looking out, thirty huge shield carts slowly approached, and the momentum seemed to be good, which might be a pressure for ordinary soldiers.

It's just that as a traverser, Xu Shiyang turned a blind eye to the speeding traffic, and these sluggish shield cars in front of him were nothing.

"Steady!" Xu Shiyang shouted: "The big wooden cannon is ready!" Two doors against one! Listen to me! ”

Xu Shiyang had a total of 20 Mark II wooden cannons in his hands, and if every two cannons could destroy a shield cart, the Tartars would have to lose one-third of the shield carts.

Of course, this is only the most ideal situation, even if it can't be done, Xu Shiyang has other hole cards.

The shield cart quickly approached a position only 50 steps away from the breastwork, and Xu Shiyang held the sword in his right hand and raised it high.

Everyone looked nervously at the enemy.

30 steps, this distance is equivalent to directly on the opponent's head for a cannon.

Xu Shiyang waved his hand violently, and ten wooden cannons loaded with solid bullets on the chest wall opened fire at the same time.

Boom Boom!

Ten 3-pound round stone projectiles flew out of the barrel, even if the distance was so close, there were still three shells missed, flying over the head of the shield car, one of them just fell in the array of the traitor army in the rear, in a crackling sound of bone shattering, two enemy soldiers broke their muscles and bones, and collapsed on the ground without saying a word, and the other two were affected, one lost half of his shoulder, and one of his thighs was broken.

Another 3 shells bounced on the ground, two of which hit the shield cart directly, and the two shieldcarts that were hit stopped, the surface of the shield cart was not destroyed, and the stone bullets were directly smashed on the thick baffle, but countless pieces of wood as sharp as knives were blasted out from behind the baffle, sweeping away the slaves pushing the shield cart forward.

Armourless slaves and slave soldiers were cut down in pieces, and almost no one survived behind the shield cart.

A cannonball flew through the gap between the two shield carts, knocking off the head of an accidentally exposed slave soldier, and then went straight into the array of traitors in the rear, where in an instant another bloody alley was opened.

The last four shells all hit directly, one of the shield carts was hit three times, and the frame was scattered, and all the slave soldiers behind were swept down by the wood and stone fragments, and none of them were spared.

Another shield cart was pierced, and the hard granite cannonball opened a large hole in the shield, and the shield cart also stopped, and Xu Shiyang did not notice that there were survivors coming out from behind.

At this time, the terrible screams reached Xu Shiyang's ears, and countless dying and struggling human bodies rolled and writhed on the ground, blood staining the earth red.

10 cannons to kill 4 shield cars, a little worse than the expected results, but it is also acceptable.

After one round, the Divine Soldier quickly untied the wooden cannon attached to the breastwork with ropes with the cooperation of several auxiliaries and threw it aside.

These wooden cannons were smoking everywhere, and in some places they were even charred black, and absolutely no one dared to reload them again, and now they were completely useless.

The next group of gunners immediately tied the other ten wooden cannons to a fixed position on the breastwork, and the total weight of the loaded wooden cannons was only about 20 kilograms, which could be easily operated by one artillery and two auxiliary militiamen, and after only a few minutes, the preparation for firing was complete.

"Fire!"

Xu Shiyang's order came again.

Subsequently, ten Mark II wooden cannons opened fire on the shield cart that had approached less than ten paces, this time, 2 shield carts were destroyed, 3 were penetrated, and 2 were beaten to a halt, and the slaves pushing the shield cart were tens of thousands of miserable, and their spirits broke down again, and some of them fled backwards regardless of it, and were killed by the traitors who followed.

Some of the smarter ones simply fled to the sides, and the Jin soldiers did not have time to chase and kill, which made many of them flee for their lives.

Now it's the turn of the slave soldiers who couldn't escape and the traitor soldiers who were forced forward by the real Jurchen. They howled together, pushing the remaining 20 shield carts, taking the last few steps and pushing them straight into the trench!

Now, there was only a low breastwall left between Tartar and Xu Shiyang.

However, the traitor soldiers also lost the cover of the shield cart, and the magic soldiers behind the breastwork and the militia standing on the dock wall opened fire on the enemy at the same time.

Everyone knew that the most dangerous moment had come, and no one dared to spare their hands, and the militiamen were shooting down as fast as they could, and in an instant, they would shoot the exposed Hanmouk.

Even more dangerous is of course the musket in the hands of the god soldiers, even the well-made armor can't block the musket fire at this distance, not to mention Hanmouk, who only has a cloth coat, and anyone who is hit by a bullet has no chance of surviving.

The traitor soldiers suffered nearly 100 casualties in an instant, and the dead and about to die corpses covered the ground in front of the trench, and many people were lying on the shield carts in the trench, forming a slope that could be used by the follow-up tartars.

"Kill!"

A terrifying roar suddenly sounded, and hundreds of Jurchen soldiers trotted away from the traitors in front, stepping on the shield cart and the corpse and jumping directly to the chest wall!

Without waiting for Xu Shiyang's order, the Rui soldiers marched forward in unison, densely packed with hundreds of spear tips on the chest wall, and the Jin soldiers who were standing unsteadily were pushed back, taking advantage of the opportunity when their charging momentum was stopped, the loaded arquebusiers fired first.

When the smoke rose, the Jurchen soldiers in the front row fell half in unison, and the shield covered with two layers of cowhide could not withstand 15 mm lead bullets at this distance.

"Archery!" Several Jurchen Mouke howled hoarsely.

"Fire!" Xu Shiyang was not to be outdone.

The musketeer in the back row stepped forward and pulled the snake-shaped trigger on the Jurchens a few steps away, and the fire rope ignited the gunpowder in the fire door, pushing the 5-yuan projectile to fly out of the chamber, instantly hitting the obstacle blocking the way of the bullet.

The buckshot broke through the beautiful chain mail and turned into a thin piece, burrowing into the soft human body, forming a terrible wound, and blood immediately gushed out like a fountain.

Dozens more in the Tartar array were knocked out.
