[148] Sentinel battle before the Battle of Golden State
Although the Jiannu on the opposite side was shouting and blowing trumpets, boiling against the sky, the Jinzhou City side was unusually quiet, and the firecrackers were all sitting behind the low wall, with cement slabs extending out of their heads, like eaves to firmly protect the people below. Even if it is a heavy arrow, it cannot penetrate more than five inches of cement slab, the cement slab sticks out of the low wall about two feet, because it is hidden behind the low wall, not to mention that the arrow that shoots directly cannot be injured, it is the thrown arrow, because of the arc, it can not shoot the soldier who is close to the root of the wall.
"A thousand yards away~" The lookout at the height saw Kennu's chariot slowly run over the marked stones
"Open the cannon door~!" The small artillery flags trained by Michelle shouted loudly, commanding the artillery to open the concealed baffle and aim the muzzle of the black hole in front of the gun
"Eight hundred yards~~" Jiannu's advance was very fast, but there were more obstacles such as stones and cement pillars on the ground, and the car had to stop and let the miscellaneous soldiers clear these obstacles. 7。 When the Jiannu soldiers saw that there were still a few people behind the low wall opposite, they were all a little puzzled: Did the Ming army run out?
"What the fuck is this stone?" The soldier kicked the low pillar of cement with his foot, and he tried to kick it away, but he couldn't. He smashed it with a hammer again, and it shook so much that it didn't hurt much
Alida, Shuoto, and Li Shutai were more than a mile away from the city wall, and they couldn't see the specific situation clearly, only to see a few people suddenly jumping out of the low wall. Soon he disappeared behind the low wall, and then he saw seven or eight pillars of smoke rising above the low wall.
"Artillery! The Ming army has artillery! Li Shutai suddenly felt in his heart, although it was expected that the Ming army would have artillery, but there were actually seven or eight artillery pieces on the flanks
Seven or eight four- and five-pound buckshots, except for one that grazed the queue of Jiannu, flew past from the east and did not hurt anyone. 7。 Two of them landed not far from the front of the queue. After bouncing up, it crashed into the car without causing much damage. The rest of the shells, a few of which were smashed directly on the car, even if the seven or eight inches of wooden planks were wrapped in cowhide, were smashed to pieces in an instant, and the Jiannu soldiers who were next to the car were pierced by the remaining lead bullets, and even the flying sawdust became a killer, and there was a scream near the place where the bullets landed.
The two lead bullets that crossed the car formation and smashed into the crowd brought a bloody rain all the way. When the brunt of the slave soldiers. Directly torn to pieces by lead bullets. Relying on the Jiannu cavalry array of the car formation, a group of people suddenly turned on their backs. 3。
"Hurry, hurry up and rush forward, the artillery of the southern barbarians is finished, now rush forward," shouted the head of the Jiannu soldiers behind the chariot. In the past, the combat experience with the Ming army, after the Ming army's artillery was fired once, it often took a long time before the second cannon could be fired.
In the bunker, the artillerymen quickly dragged back the guns mounted on movable gun mounts, skillfully cleaned the chambers, loaded them with gunpowder and lead bullets, and then pushed the guns up again, readjusting the angles, and by this time they were no longer paying attention to salvo fire, but could fire freely. Whoever loaded it was a shot, but the hit rate was not as high as just now, and only three of them entered the crowd and smashed a car. 8。
With the approach of Jiannu, the eight 400-pound cannons in Xicheng also began to join the firing sequence, and the preset shooting angle made this round of firing effect also very good.
The Jiannu army was getting closer and closer to the low wall, and it was already within the range of bows and arrows.
"Hurry up, pretend to be a goddess scattered flowers~~ The muzzle of the cannon is a little flat......" The artillery flags shouted loudly, and the goddess scattered flowers are shotguns
To the archers behind the car, the situation was indeed a bit strange, and if you had to stop shooting, you could hardly see a single person in sight, and the guns, though deadly, were hidden in small houses, and it seemed that they had to wait for the infantry to rush up and overturn. The archer threw once at a distance of 400 feet, and now this side is leaning against the sea, and the feather arrows shot out are greatly affected by the wind, and they are crooked, and it is rare that a few feathered arrows fall into the range of the fortress, but they cannot find a target that can be killed, so they have to continue to move forward with the car. 1。
At a distance of four hundred yards, the large-caliber Franc machine roared together, and hundreds of lead bullets brought a bloody storm among the Jiannu crowd.
The formation of Jiannu was chaotic, and the effect of the solid bullet decreased significantly, but the role of the artillery was also waved, and when the Jiannu at the front had rushed to within three hundred yards, the trumpeter on the conning tower blew a loud melody. The horn that had been prepared before, heard this melody. The musketeers, who had repeatedly checked the firearms and ammunition, came out from under the "eaves" of the cement slabs and along the side walls of the protruding ridges amid the shouts of the small flags and the general flags. One team on the left and one on the right, the firebolt was put on the wall, and after a slight adjustment, the first volley was fired under the command of the team officer. 1。
This first round of shooting was very neat. The projectiles fired by the guns were much smaller than those of the artillery, and the advantage was that the density was greater, and fifty projectiles were fired in the first round. Those messily ran up to the ground to build slaves and immediately knocked down six or seven, and the efficiency of the hit was not high. A cloud of smoke rose above the line of firebolts. Jiannu, who rushed up, not only did not retreat, but shouted loudly.
"The Southern Barbarian's fire gun is finished, rush!"
"Rush up and cut down those southern barbarians!"
"Damn ~~ These traitors are all Han Chinese, and they actually call us Southern Barbarians~" The general banner of the musketeers scolded angrily: "Brothers, please eat peanuts~"
"Okay~" A salvo just now, shooting an ordinary spherical bullet, this round is a Mine bullet, peanuts are the common name of ordinary soldiers for Minne bullets, they can't say the foreign name of Minne bullets
"Fire~~" With the shouts of the general flags of the musketeers of each team, more than a thousand Minne bullets were heated and expanded, and flew out of the muzzle of the rifling tightly, and flew densely towards the Jiannu soldiers who rushed towards the monster!
"Ahh
"Ah~" Almost at the same time, nearly 100 Jiannu soldiers and many war horses who rushed to the front screamed and neighed again and again, the cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, the war horses fell to the ground with blood in sorrow, and the infantry team that charged intensively was suddenly in chaos. 5。 He personally led the charge of the army in red flag armor, La'e Zhen Burshan, who was hit by more than a dozen Minne bullets at the same time, and the blood on his face and chest flew together, and he flew backwards before he could scream, fell more than half a foot away, and was killed on the spot
"Ready~~Fire~" Without waiting for the Jiannu soldiers to adjust from the chaos caused by the shooting, the shooter stretched out his hand without looking back, and handed the still smoking musket to the loader behind him. 1。 The loader in the back hands the loaded other musket while reloading on the spot. As soon as the second shot was finished, the third loaded musket was handed over, and after three rounds of continuous firing, the Jiannu infantry and cavalry, which had already rushed to within 300 paces, fell even more. In the bunker of the Ming army, the smoke was billowing out, completely shrouded in green and yellow gunsmoke, and in front of the Jiannu team was corpses all over the ground, countless wounded soldiers and horses were rolling and struggling in pools of blood, screaming and neighing.
Just now, they were still clamoring to build slaves, but the situation did not unfold as they thought, and the projectiles behind the low wall seemed to be endless, and a wave of roaring came one after another, and dozens of people were already lying down at a distance of dozens of steps. 2。 Jiannu put in 20 vehicles at a time, nearly 1,000 infantry, several rounds of artillery fire, nearly 200 dead and wounded, after the appearance of the firecrackers, the projectiles are impenetrable, and the casualties are increasing rapidly. On the battlefield, if the casualty rate of a unit exceeds 30%, those who can still persist in fighting can already be regarded as elite, and the Han army flag composed of traitors obviously does not belong to the elite.
The whistling projectiles continue to pass by the ears, taking the life of the robe around them, and those who get close will even splash flesh and blood, and those who run behind, you can see that the person in front of you suddenly falls, and at this time the brain is already confused, either rushing down numbly, or turning around and running in a hurry and subconsciously. 3。
Under the persecution of the Jiannu cavalry supervision team, the Han army was much braver than the Ming army, and many of the Ming troops who were originally vulnerable, after the Jiannu were lowered, when they turned around and fought with the Ming army, it was as if they had changed an army, not that they really became stronger, but the discipline, courage, or the courage to be forced out, would make them look very brave. But if it was really a tough battle, these Han troops were obviously not as reliable as Jiannu, and seeing the storm-like projectiles cause a large number of casualties in a very short period of time, finally some people couldn't hold on and turned around and ran back. On the battlefield, once someone starts to turn back, it is easy to affect the entire army, and soon, the Jiannu Han army that rushed to the front broke up one after another, and behind them, those Jiannu archers who were completely useless were exposed to the rain of bullets.
"These Han dog Southern Barbarians are really unreliable!" Alida scolded
Alida, Shuoto, and Li Shutai were far away from the battlefield, and they couldn't see the specific details clearly, but there were cavalry watching from the front and constantly passing on the situation.
Alida's words made Li Shutai very uncomfortable, and his face sank, although his father Li Yongfang surrendered to Houjin and became someone's son-in-law, he always reminded himself that he was a Jurchen, but when he heard Alida say this, he was always a little uncomfortable. "These Ming soldiers seem to have a particularly large number of firearms. And it played reasonably! Li Shutai took a breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Do you want to try it in a different place?" I haven't been able to see anyone on the other side, maybe it's because of the lack of troops and I want to make an empty plan? ”
"Empty city?" Alida smiled, look at the fire gun, it seems that there are endless fire guns in it, and the spies came to report, saying that there are at least 30,000 southern barbarians in Golden State, how can there be insufficient troops? “
On the battlefield side, some of the Jiannu cavalry who were in charge of supervising the battle had been separated, and they began to slash and kill the traitors and Han soldiers who had escaped, and the sound of fire and artillery behind the wall and in the bunker was gradually thinning out, and this time in the attack, Jiannu threw down more than 400 people in front, including the dead and seriously injured and unable to move. There were also some people who ran back, but were seriously injured. I can't live if I think about it, Jiannu lost more than half of his troops in one attack, and it can't be said that these Han troops are not brave enough.
