Chapter 938: The Battle of the Tin Cans

Don't be surprised, the trapping camp of the superintendent is based on the assault battalion of the Tang Army!

When the assault battalion of the Datang Army was first encountered, the ordinary troops of the superintendent were not opponents at all, because the assault battalion troops used by the Datang Army were basically when attacking the city, and this kind of battle often took place in the narrow city walls, complete melee, not heavily armored troops, and they could not resist at all.

Later, like the ordinary Ming army, the superintendent began to concentrate on the heavy infantry for targeted confrontation, but later found that it still didn't work, because although the assault battalion of the Tang Army was a heavy armored force, it was actually a multi-arm composite force.

There are heavily armored sword and shield soldiers, musketeers, grenadiers, and sometimes even archers, and there are melee hand-to-hand combat, close fire support, and even medium and long range firepower.

And in the later period, the assault battalion of the Datang Army brought shotguns!

Therefore, the superintendent also used musketeers, archers, and even artillery with bowl guns to support the heavy infantry in the confrontation, but the temporary cooperation must have been not good.

So later, they simply didn't think much about it, and directly followed the Datang Army Assault Battalion and established their own trap camp!

From the establishment to the types of troops and weapons and equipment, they are all copied!

It's just that there are some differences in tactical positioning, and their trapping camp is not used to siege the city, but specifically to fight against the Tang Army assault battalion.

Even if the assault battalion of the Tang Army is now equipped with plate armor and flintlock pistols, the difference between the two is still very small.

The Datang Army was speechless on this matter, but it was not once or twice that the superintendent plagiarized the Datang Army, and they were not surprised.

When the assault battalion of the Tang Army began to climb the ruins, the inner Governor Trap camp also began to climb the ruins of the city wall, and their speed was even faster, if nothing else, they would most likely climb to the top of the ruins first, and then occupy the height advantage!

But this kind of battle for ruins will naturally not be because the Ming army first occupied the top, and then the Tang Army assault battalion gave up, they will continue to storm until they are completely occupied!

In order to create a breakthrough opportunity for the assault battalion, how long has the entire Second Army been prepared!

In the early stage, many artillery preparations, digging tunnels and blasting, and digging trenches were all for the day of the general attack, and the early stage of the general attack was to assault the assault battalion and occupy the ruins of the city wall as the core purpose.

Even now, hundreds of artillery pieces in the rear are constantly shelling, and the thousands of musketeers following in the rear are just to provide fire support to the assault battalion!

At this critical moment, how can you give up so easily!

At this time, the soldiers who rushed to the forefront of the assault camp were already about to climb to the top of the ruins, and those who rushed to the forefront were naturally not those heavy armor sword and shield men wearing full-body armor, they were carrying too much weight, and the speed of climbing this kind of ruins was a little slow.

At the forefront are the grenadiers!

Although they also wore armor, they only wore cuirasses, and their weights were relatively light, plus they needed to rush ahead to launch the first round of firepower!

Instead of shooting with a musket, throw a grenade!

Because you don't have to think about it, there must be a large number of Ming troops climbing and competing with them for the top of the ruins!

When they approached the top of the ruins, they were the first to see the figure of the Ming army above, and immediately, the leading grenadier officer immediately ordered the bomb to be dropped!

At this critical moment, not a second can be wasted, the Ming army must be pressed down at the first time, and even musket shooting does not work, grenades are the best choice!

So after that, in the next instant, dozens of meters of grenades were thrown up!

The grenade was thrown, and the explosions sounded one after another, but because they were below, their view was blocked, and they didn't know how effective the grenade was.

But from the time they also saw a small black dot on the opposite side, they knew that the first wave of grenade strikes was not effective, this kind of ruin attack, because the rubble on the ruins of the city wall is relatively large, and it is easy for the enemy to hide behind the ruins to defend against grenades.

Otherwise, the Ming army would not have thrown grenades to fight back.

Watching the grenades fly over, the grenadiers took advantage of the ruins one by one to hide, while the officers kept shouting: "Bomb, bomb!" ”

Some of the rubble blocks on the ruins of the city wall are very large, and they are natural defensive barriers, and the previous Ming army was able to use these ruins to reduce casualties, and they naturally could.

The battle between the two sides did not break out first in hand-to-hand combat, nor did it break out with the fire of muskets, because at this time, although their straight-line distance was only seven or eight meters, but the middle was separated from the top of the ruins, at most, they occasionally saw each other's figures, and the main attack still needed to rely on grenades that could be thrown in a curve!

Both sides were throwing grenades, dense explosions continued to sound, and the grenadier troops at the front inevitably suffered certain casualties!

But the captain of the grenadier team who led the team still waved the command knife in his hand: "Drop bombs, shoot cover in the back row, and assault in the front row!" ”

As he spoke, the grenadier captain bent his waist and quickly climbed forward with the help of the rubble!

The other grenadiers also alternated in the rubble, it was only a few meters away, but they were extremely careful!

Because the enemy is not far away!

While the grenadiers used grenades and shots to assault forward, the heavily armored sword and shield soldiers in the rear continued to move forward with firm steps!

Although the grenadiers in front of them are fighting very lively, everyone knows that these heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers are the backbone of this kind of battle!

These heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers were the strongest soldiers in the assault battalion, and the whole body armor on their bodies covered their entire body from head to toe, and even their faces were covered by masks, and the only eyes that were exposed were all over their bodies!

A few seconds later, the grenadiers in front basically suppressed the firepower of the Ming army in front of them by throwing dense grenades, but at this time, the grenades they were carrying were basically finished.

At this time, a large number of hoplites crossed the grenadiers and literally climbed to the top of the ruins!

And as the Governor Trap camp that completely copied the Datang Assault Battalion, their tactics were the same, and after the musketeers in front threw grenades, they also sent their heavy infantry up!

It didn't take long for the tin cans to appear on the top of the ruins!

However, although both sides are wearing iron armor, they are very easy to recognize!

Because the heavy infantry of the Datang Assault Battalion are all full body armor, and the plate armor is forged and formed in steel, and it will be polished, so it looks very flat and smooth, and even in the sunny weather, it will reflect light.

The heavy armored infantry of the Ming army on the opposite side is wearing iron armor on the outside, which is naturally not as bright as the plate armor of the heavy armored infantry of the Datang assault battalion!

So it's easy to identify them, those shiny tin cans must be the soldiers of the Datang assault battalion, and the ones that are dull and have many scales in their armor must be the soldiers of the Ming army!

After these iron cans appeared on the top of the ruins, the heavy infantry of the Ming army on the opposite side found that many of their opponents did not hold waist knives at all, except for shields, but only a small musket in their hands.

What are these things?

There was no time to wonder, they just saw the pseudo-Tang thief army on the opposite side raise the small musket in their hands, and they didn't see any lit fire ropes, so they could directly see them firing.

After the white smoke rose, I saw that these pseudo-Tang thieves directly threw away these pistols, pulled out the stainless steel waist knife from their waists and rushed up!

However, the soldiers of the Ming army found that before hand-to-hand combat, more than 20 of their comrades-in-arms had already fallen.

Don't think that more than two dozen are rare, you must know that although this battle is crucial, the troops invested by both sides at the same time are only a few hundred, and except for grenadiers, musketeers, etc., less than half of the heavy infantry.

The space on the top of the ruins is limited, and the actions are first and last, and the heavy infantry on the Ming side is only seventy or eighty people, and the Tang army is only a hundred people.

But now, there are more than 20 people missing from the Ming army all of a sudden, and this result is almost disastrous for the next battle!

I didn't have time to think about it, I didn't have time to think about it, the hoplites on both sides just collided with each other!

Everyone is a tin can, and ordinary slashes are useless, because they can't cut through armor at all!

The plate armor of the Tang Army can even defend against muskets to a certain extent, let alone this ordinary chopping.

The iron armor and cotton iron armor of the Ming army are combined with each other, and the protection is not low, and ordinary chopping and chopping basically cannot cause effective damage to them.

So these tin cans fight, it seems to be very clumsy, and the amplitude of the action is also very small, there is no so-called big open and close chopping at all, but when they shoot, it is often fatal!

Because when they shoot, they often aim at the weak points of the enemy's armor protection, including the joints of various parts of the armor, mainly stabbing and slashing, and when chopping, it is mainly aimed at the head.

Needless to say, the stab is basically fatal!

The helmet can protect the head from being cut, but it can't protect the head from shock!

Therefore, the battles of these heavy armored infantry are often directly shielded, mainly to protect some of their weak points, as for other directions, they are completely exposed and do not care at all, and even sometimes, these heavy infantry will take advantage of the terrain and size to directly push the enemy to the ground.
