Chapter 429: Occupy Gaizhou 3

No matter what standard is calculated, the 4-kilogram field gun is also a light artillery, and as a cavalry gun, it is undoubtedly qualified in weight.

Now the only reason why the flying artillery of the Qi army is still using the Shenji cannon is that the number of field guns is insufficient, that's all.

In fact, all 4-pound field guns have special mobile gun trucks, and with 6 horses attached, they can follow the cavalry at a speed similar to that of the god machine gun, and deploy quickly.

After learning that the Tartars had reproduced a small fortified area in the city of Gaizhou, Xu Shiyang immediately ordered the cavalry to give up some war horses and drag two field guns to the front line to provide fire support.

They came at the right time, behind the third breastwork that the Qi army had just arrived, there were also more than a dozen iron cannons and more than twenty wooden cannons, in addition to three-bow bed crossbows with wheels.

If the lives of ordinary people rush through this line of defense, it does not mean that they will not be able to break through, but the casualties will be very heavy.

The arrival of artillery reversed this situation, and the range of the two field guns of the Qi army far exceeded that of the miscellaneous guns that fired shotguns in the Tartars, and there was also a large difference in the power of the shells, which allowed the Qi army to shoot calmly from a safe distance.

Two 4-pound guns took turns firing, smashing iron balls into the Tartar's impregnable breastwork.

In the fifth round of shooting, an iron bullet made a direct hit, and the breastwork instantly collapsed half a meter wide.

Ahabs screamed in panic, and soon, someone ignited the artillery seal directly despite the butcher's knives of the Tartar Warlords.

Dozens of various artillery pieces fired together, and the cannon roared, shaking the heavens and the earth, but it was completely out of reach of the Qi army at a safe distance.

After forcing the enemy to shoot, the temporary battle group of the Qi army advanced rapidly under the command of officers at all levels, and the Tartars were forced to give up the precious artillery again, and let the slaves behind push the ballistas up to block the Qi army.

The three-bow bed crossbow also only had one chance to shoot, and the twenty bed crossbows probably killed thirty Qi soldiers, but after the shot, the Qi army approached the range of heavy arrows.

The Tartar armoured soldiers were forced to use bows and arrows to shoot at the Qi army's muskets, and in this kind of exchange, the Tartars suffered a great loss, because the bows and arrows did not hit the vital point, and they could not penetrate the heavy cuirass, but the muskets would lose their combat effectiveness if they were hit casually.

The Jurchen Meng'an, who commanded the battle here, also kept shooting at the chest wall with a bow and arrow, and when he reached the fifth arrow, a 15mm lead bullet flew and cut off the horn bow in his hand, piercing his arm and burrowing into his chest.

The tartar spewed out a large mouthful of blood, flew backwards a few steps, and slammed into the ground.

The Qi armor soldiers shouted like a tide pouring out from the gap in the breastwork, and soon beat the Tartar armor soldiers who had lost their commander back again and again.

……

"Master, I can't hold it! Run! ”

A Meng An, who had lost his armor, knelt in front of Fu Shi Lie Zhining and wept:

"Master, if you don't run away, it's too late!"

Fu Shi Lie Zhining helped himself to tie the bandage, still feeling a little dizzy in his head, and said after a long time:

"Where to flee?"

"North Gate! There are few Han dogs in the north gate, the minions are protecting you, let's rush out together! ”

"If it were that easy, we wouldn't have ended up in such a field." Fu Shi Lie Zhining shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The Qi army brought almost 2,000 cavalry this time, at least half of which were heavy cavalry with men and horses, which were not suitable for siege and never appeared.

But if the remnants of the Jin army were defeated and fled out of the city to an open area, those cavalry would naturally not let them go easily.

"If you can stay in the city for a while, you will definitely die if you go out of the city." Su Shi Lie Zhining said in an affirmative tone: "Don't mention the escape, we can't escape, hold on." ”

"Master!! The fierce ann screamed miserably, like a desperate wolf.

……

Groups of soldiers in red military uniforms and silver-white iron armor rushed forward with a loud shout.

The Tartars had already abandoned the third breastwork and were gradually fighting and retreating in the direction of the old Gaizhou County Ya, where the Fushi Lie Zhining was located.

That was their last line of defense, so it was clear to most Jurchens that they were actually out of reach.

The trapped beasts burst out with the last of their courage and strength, and many armored soldiers stood directly on the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the road, ignoring the heavy arrows that shot at the Qi troops pouring into the road.

Some of the Wonder Soldiers stopped and lined up at the command of the junior officers, and then a whistle blew, muskets roared, and the Tartars on the roofs of the houses fell.

Ahead, a group of Tartar armor soldiers forced Ahabs to pile up all the beds, doors, tables, chairs, and benches they had collected from all over the street to form a temporary line of defense.

However, this line of defense was like paper, and the gods and soldiers fired a volley, and half of them collapsed in an instant, and several unlucky ghosts were also hit, screaming and rolling down from above.

Subsequently, the Qi army Xuanfeng and Rui Shi shouted and rushed up, and a group of desperate Tartar armor soldiers also swooped up, and the two sides fought frantically at the top of this temporary defense line, and people kept rolling down from above, and no one could tell whether they were friends or foes in the chaos, and everyone stepped directly on these people and struggled forward.

Suddenly, the improvised defensive line made of various wooden planks could not withstand the trampling of hundreds of armored soldiers on both sides, and collapsed one by one, and all the soldiers who were fighting on it were caught off guard and rolled into a ball.

As soon as the defense line collapsed, the Qi army and the Tartars in the back were directly face-to-face, and the soldiers on both sides were slightly stunned, and then raised their weapons at the same time, and suddenly lead bullets and bows and arrows flew sideways, and both sides all fell down screaming.

However, this is already the last mobile force of the Tartars, and the Qi army is still coming, they are either wielding swords or holding spears and bayonets, connected to each other, layer upon layer, the remaining Tartars can no longer support it, and quickly turn around and flee to the old county government behind them.

More Tartars lost all their will to fight, bypassed the county government directly, and fled in the direction of the north gate.

Gaizhou's defenses have completely collapsed.

The old Gaizhou County Ya, this is a large courtyard of 5 enters, the Liao era, here is the most luxurious building in Gaizhou City, after the Jin State occupied here, it became the private residence of the garrison commander of Gaizhou.

Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongbi have all lived here, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Yinshu Ke have also lived, and now it belongs to Sushi Lie Zhining.

And presumably where he was about to die.

Su Shi Lie Zhining sat on a Taishi chair and quietly watched as his last guards climbed the outer wall of the old county government and fired their bows and arrows at Qi army's muskets.

At this time, there were nearly three hundred people around him, all of whom were around thirty years old and skilled in battle.

In the past, these people could even defeat more than ten times the Han army, but now they definitely can't.

There was a roar of muskets outside the wall, and all the armor soldiers standing on the wall were swept away, and even some of the missed lead bullets pierced the wall.

The rest of the guards were in confusion, and then another group of people climbed the wall and continued to resist desperately.

"It's the last moment."

Fu Shi Lie Zhining calmly watched his subordinates' unwilling desperate resistance, although it was meaningless, but this momentum finally inspired the fighting spirit of the others.

This Jurchen jumped up with great agility, picked up a horned bow, and prepared to climb the wall to resist in person.

At this moment, there was a cannon shot outside, and a four-pound iron bullet directly hit the outer wall of the old county office, whistling and sweeping over.

This cannonball just grazed against Fu Shi Lie Zhining's waist, removing most of the flesh and blood of the lower half of his body like a razor!

All kinds of internal organs were all dripping out, and Su Shi Lie Zhining lay on the ground, his hands tightly clasped the dirt under him, and his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't even scream in pain.
