Chapter 201: Overwhelming (I)
On the fourth day of October, in the afternoon, the soldiers of the first division of the Yunjia Army came to the city of De'an.
De'an City, more than 4,000 Guangming troops refused to defend the city, outside the city, more than 14,000 Yun family troops quickly approached De'an City, and finally stopped at a position of one hundred and fifty zhang away from the city wall, this distance, the bed crossbow on De'an City could not bring damage to the Yun family army, and it was impossible for the archers to shoot arrows to the front row of the Yun family army.
The Guangming Army can't beat the Yun Family Army, but the Yun Family Army can rely on the firearms it is equipped with to hit the Guangming Army, in fact, the winning side of this battle has been decided.
As the commander of the Yunjia army on this road, Shi Mincai quickly issued a combat order: "Order all snipers to shoot freely at the enemy troops on the De'an city wall, and order the artillery, all artillery to be loaded with flower shells, and the direction is aimed at De'an City." ”
"No!" The herald accepted the order and quickly went down to convey Shi Mincai's battle order.
On the city wall of De'an, the Guangming Army saw that the Yun Family Army stopped at one hundred and fifty zhang, I don't know why, one hundred and fifty zhang is a safe distance, many Guangming soldiers poked their heads out to look at the Yun Family Army in the distance, and even Li Huaizhi, the commander of the Guangming Army in De'an City, whose strength was as high as the ninth order of the day after tomorrow, also poked his head out, wanting to see what the Yun Family Army was going to do.
The guns equipped by the Yunjia Army are basically rifled guns, and the accuracy is relatively high, but the sight distance of the human eye is so long, and the targets that are too far away are difficult to see clearly, and it is even more difficult to shoot, so there are sniper guns equipped with scopes, and all the guns that shoot accurately in the Yunjia Army can participate in the assessment of snipers, as long as the assessment is successful, you can have a sniper gun and become a sniper, in the first division of the Yunjia Army, there are only more than 170 snipers.
After Shi Mincai's order was conveyed, the snipers in the first division all came to the front of the Yun family army's array, they raised the sniper guns in their hands, and their eyes looked at the city wall of De'an through the scope, and a head with a light sergeant clearly appeared in their field of vision.
"With such good armor, he should be a big official in the Bright Army." A sniper looked at Li Huaizhi and said in his heart.
Snipers are different from ordinary musketeers, the first task of a sniper on the battlefield is to snipe the enemy officers and generals, and if they can't find the enemy officers and generals, then shoot those ordinary soldiers.
Obviously, the commanders of the Guangming Army, including Li Huaizhi, on the De'an City Wall have become the primary targets of the snipers of the Yun Family Army.
Bang!
The first sniper fired.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The other snipers who were also aiming followed when they heard the gunshot, knowing that if they were slow to shoot, their target might leave the position.
On the city wall of De'an, Li Huaizhi looked at the Yun family army one hundred and fifty zhang away, and saw the unknown weapon in the hand of the Yun family army, Li Huaizhi didn't know what it was if he wanted to break his head.
At this moment, the unknown weapon in Li Huaizhi's eyes actually emitted a little fire and a small piece of black smoke, and Li Huaizhi's eyes widened: "Could it be some kind of ignition device?" ”
Before Li Huaizhi could continue to think about it, he suddenly found that a strange thing appeared in his field of vision, this thing was like an iron ball, the speed was very fast, and it came straight to him.
"It's not good...... Li Huaizhi had a bad feeling in his heart, and he hurriedly picked up his internal force and wanted to leave the battlement.
Burst!
However, the speed of the bullet was too fast, so fast that Li Huaizhi didn't have time to react, and the next moment, a lead bullet hit Li Huaizhi's chest, and the lead bullet passed through the armor on Li Huaizhi's body and went directly into the flesh, Li Huaizhi felt as if his chest was hit by a big hammer, and he wanted to vomit blood in pain.
But this is not over, four more bullets are shooting rapidly, and Li Huaizhi, who can't dodge, can only watch as the four lead bullets hit his chest, as if he has been hit four times in a row by a sledgehammer.
Burst!
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Li Huaizhi's mouth, Li Huaizhi was about to fall down while holding his chest, Li Huaizhi's personal soldiers noticed the situation of his general, and hurriedly reached out to help Li Huaizhi and took Li Huaizhi away from the battlement.
This is also because Li Huaizhi doesn't know the weapon of the fire gun, Li Huaizhi is an acquired ninth-order martial artist, if he is well prepared, it will be difficult for the fire gun to hit Li Huaizhi.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Li Huaizhi was treated by the snipers of the Yunjia Army, and the other outcropping commanders and ordinary soldiers of the Guangming Army on the De'an City Wall were also named by the snipers, they did not have the strength of Li Huaizhi, a small commander of the third order of the day after tomorrow was hit in the chest by a lead bullet, and the next moment the little commander vomited blood and fell backwards, obviously not far from death.
None of the low-level warriors could fire bullets lower than the firearms, let alone those ordinary soldiers, one by one, the outcropping light sergeants were hit by lead bullets and died on the spot.
More than 170 snipers of the 1st Division of the Yunjia Army, after a round of shooting, Li Huaizhi, the commander of the Guangming Army, was seriously injured, more than a dozen commanders were either seriously injured or killed, and nearly 90 ordinary soldiers died.
The sniper quickly loaded the ammunition after shooting a round, but the bright army on the city wall of De'an was confused because of the sniper's round of shooting, and the other bright soldiers didn't know how their comrades died, but they also understood that they couldn't continue to stand at the battlement, otherwise they would be the next to die.
After seven or eight breaths, the snipers have reloaded their sniper guns, but there are very few targets in their field of vision that can be shot.
"Beat the drums, fire the cannon!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The war drums of the Yunjia army sounded, and the artillery commander drew his sword and pointed at De'an City, and the next moment a gunner held a torch and lit the fuse on the artillery.
After a few breaths, there was a "boom", accompanied by firelight and black smoke, one after another cannonballs left the barrel and flew towards De'an City.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
There were flowering shells that exploded in the crowd on the city wall, and the dozen or so soldiers of Light near the cannonballs were dead and wounded.
A flowering bullet hits the wall, smashing a small gap in the wall.
Some flowering bullets fell behind the city walls and even hit the roof of a house, blowing the roof off, and even injuring or even killing anyone in the house.
"Lei Gong has thundered!" On the city wall, the soldiers of Light shouted in horror.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up." The commanders of the Bright Army shouted one after another, but the ordinary soldiers were already frightened by the roar of the explosion of the flowering bomb, and they ran around, and the walls of De'an became even more chaotic.
"Swap for solid bullets and smash the gates open." Shi Mincai ordered again.
After more than 30 breaths, part of the artillery of the Yunjia army was reloaded with solid shells and aimed at the wooden gate of De'an City to fire.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Dozens of solid bullets hit the gate, penetrating the gate, and the entire gate was torn apart.
"Charge the whole army!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frequency of the war drums changes, this is the drumbeat of the whole army charge.
"Kill!"
All the Yun family sergeants rushed towards De'an City, and the cavalry regiment of the 1st Division took the lead, with more than 1,000 cavalry rushing towards De'an City. [.]
