Chapter 272: Blood Pool
The auxiliaries in front of the fourth trench drew their swords from their waists and followed the assigned Paishku to rush in front of the Ming army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
They were greeted by a salvo of six hundred rifles at a distance of eighty meters. The riflemen had been loading their ammunition for a long time, waiting for the Qing soldiers' wooden shields to be broken before calling for bullets on the Qing soldiers. Before more than 2,000 Qing soldiers could cross the wooden bridge they had erected, they were hit by a rain of 600 bullets.
In an instant, hundreds of people were knocked to the ground, like sandbags, or on wooden bridges. Some of the seriously injured were groaning and rolling on the ground, falling off the wooden bridge and falling into a trench two meters deep. The organs that had been strangled by the bullets were again crushed by the heavy fall, turning into a cloud of blood, leaving the wounded lifeless.
The leader of the group shouted, "Rush! Kill a Ming army and raise the flag! ”
When the followers heard this, their eyes were blood-red, and they followed the assigned Paishku to rush to the Ming army's fortress.
But their charge, which had only advanced ten meters, stopped.
Just now, the Qing soldiers were busy building bridges, too busy hiding in wooden shields, and they were in a hurry, so they didn't have time to observe the battlefield in front of them. Of course, the valley of this Mali ditch was not a plain, the surface was potholed and undulating, and it was difficult to see the situation on the ground in the distance from twenty meters away, and they did not see the wooden thorns that were only half a foot high in front of them.
When these auxiliaries rushed to seventy meters in front of the fortress, they found that there was a large area of wooden thorns in front of them, and the Qing soldiers in these wooden thorn areas could not walk at all.
Dozens of followers did not react, and rushed into the wooden stab area with their swords in hand. They were stabbed under the feet of the wooden thorns, and they fell into a swarm of wooden thorns in pain. Those wooden thorns are sharpened by swords, and where can the clothes and flesh resist? The followers were immediately stabbed open by the wooden thorns, and they were bleeding profusely.
A few of the followers rushed too violently, and when they fell, they were so strong that they were stabbed to death by wooden thorns.
Several auxiliaries also fell for the wooden thorn, but fortunately, they were wearing cotton armor and were not stabbed to death by the wooden thorn. They fell on the wooden thorns and screamed a few times, and fled back in a panic.
This road is not working!
Forty meters of the battlefield in front of the entire fortress was covered with wooden thorns. These wooden thorn arrays covered a width of 750 meters in front of the fortress, and only a passage more than a dozen meters wide had no wooden thorns.
Wooden thorns are buried deeply, and it is impossible to pull out them. The one who had to divide the shhe shku gritted his teeth and shouted, "Rush in from a place where there are no wooden thorns..."
Before he could finish speaking, another 600 rifles were fired at the Ming army's fortification. Six hundred rounds of ammunition swept across the battlefield, beckoning to more than a thousand auxiliaries and followers wearing thin or no armor. The blood flowers are like rhododendrons in spring, blooming from the Qing soldiers one after another. The Qing soldiers who were shot spurted blood from their wounds and fell to the ground one by one.
The one who was the one was also hit by a bullet. At a distance of eighty meters, even wearing three layers of heavy armor, his body was pierced by bullets. He was shot in the right lung. The bullet shattered the delicate organ, and blood shot down his trachea into the various tubes of the human body, spurting out of his mouth and nose. He fell to the ground with a thud and died.
Along with this share, hundreds of Qing soldiers fell.
In the blink of an eye, this wooden bridge team of nearly 3,000 people was killed and wounded.
However, because there were more than 60,000 reinforcements behind them, these Qing soldiers did not collapse. With so many reinforcements behind him, the end of the rout is likely to be hacked to death by the swinging tooth of the escort. The surviving auxiliaries and followers had red eyes and howled and rushed to the passage without wooden thorns, preparing to storm the Ming army from there.
But the passage more than ten meters wide was too narrow, and more than a thousand Qing soldiers were crowded on the periphery of the passage, and only a dozen or so people could enter the passage, and most people could only squeeze outside and wait to enter.
As soon as the two hundred soldiers in the front row rushed into the passage and ran twenty meters, fifty meters from the fortress in front, there was another rain of bullets.
The front of Li Zhi's fortress was more than 700 meters wide, and the Qing soldiers who entered the passage were crowded on the passage, and the soldiers who were too far away from the passage could not aim at them. But there are still more than 1,000 Qing soldiers crowded outside the passage, and these Qing soldiers occupy an area of more than 200 meters, so the soldiers on both sides of the passage can shoot the Qing soldiers.
Four hundred bullets hit the three hundred men who rushed into the passage and tried to rush into it, and immediately sent these charging Qing soldiers to the western sky. The bullets were like big scissors to build leaves, clattering and harvesting lives, killing all the auxiliaries and followers on the east and west sides of the Qing army at once.
Those Qing soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground were either completely dead, or twitched and struggled on the ground, turning into obstacles, allowing the Qing troops behind to rush more slowly. It is estimated that if there are no more than two volleys, all these auxiliaries and followers who rushed into the formation will be killed.
Attacking this narrow passage under the aim of hundreds of rifles can only be completely destroyed.
This wave of Qing soldiers finally collapsed.
The front was blocked by wooden thorns, and the only passage could not be rushed, so staying in front of the formation was just a target for the platoon. The team of nearly 3,000 men was killed in just a moment, and only 900 remained. The Qing soldiers did not dare to rush again, and collapsed with screams.
But they were still within the range of the Tiger Warrior when they fled. More than two or three hundred rifles behind them chased and shot at them. From a distance of 70 meters to a distance of 200 meters, the rifle could shoot four or five rounds, and the Qing soldiers did not have the slightest hope of escaping. The soldiers of the Tiger Division shot the fleeing Tartars in the back, legs, and back of the head as if they were executing prisoners.
One by one, the fleeing Qing soldiers fell on the battlefield, and after the last fleeing auxiliary soldier was shot dead at one hundred and fifty meters, the battlefield was quiet for a while.
In order to fill the four trenches, the Qing army sacrificed 5,000 people. And the last wave of Qing soldiers rushed into battle, so that the Qing soldiers killed and wounded another 2,000 people. In just one stick of incense, the Qing army had already dropped 7,000 people in front of the Tiger Ben Division. The battlefield in front of the canopy two hundred meters was piled with the corpses of Qing soldiers, as if it were a slaughterhouse.
The blood flowed on the uneven valley floor, gathering in low-lying places, forming pools of blood.
But only a few seconds later, the silence on the battlefield was broken by the roar of one hundred and forty guns. The main force of the Qing army rushed over from a mile away, and the Qing army wanted to use more than 60,000 flesh and blood to attack Li Zhi's gun array. The soldiers in the front row of the main force of the Qing army were three hundred meters away from Li Zhi's canopy, and they had already entered the range of the shotgun, and the shotgun fired.
The 14,000 rounds of projectiles were like a cloud of smoke, shooting towards more than 60,000 Qing troops, sweeping a large area in the front row. Although most of the projectiles were fired, several hundred projectiles still hit the Qing army at a distance of 300 meters.
The cotton armor and chain mail of the Qing soldiers were powerless in the face of the iron bullets, and they were all shot through. Hundreds of people screamed or fell silently, and died on the battlefield before they could get close to the trench. (To be continued.) )
