This nameless highland, guarded by the Ji'an battalion, is marked on the map as the May 13 Highland.

Under the ferocious attack of Fleurhe, no one dared to pack a ticket for how long the May 13 Heights could hold out.

After two tactical charges of crowds, the Qing army sacrificed a lot of cannon fodder, and finally basically filled the trench in front of the breastwork. According to the tactical procedures of the Chu army, at this time, it was necessary to start organizing a retreat, and under the cover of the infantry, the heavy mortar and tiger squat artillery should be withdrawn first, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy or be forced to blow up.

But the current battle situation is very delicate, although Wang Sheng, Wang Ding and Lu Renqing are worried that Gu Zongfu will not be able to withstand it, but they are unwilling to give up the May 13 Heights lightly.

Half a month ago, when the Qing army attacked the 177 Heights for the first time, the Chu army had a strategic depth of dozens of miles behind it, and Wang Kefan could boldly send Jiao Lian's troops up to train his troops, even if he lost his position, it would not affect the overall situation...... The current battlefield shape is completely different, the Ji'an battalion and the Puqi battalion only control a limited area around the 177 Heights, lack strategic depth, and are also very dependent on logistics supplies, and cannot be divided and surrounded by the Qing army, if Fu Lehe occupies the 513 Heights, half of the defense line in this area will be broken, and there is a certain danger in the flanks and rear of the Ji'an Battalion and the Puqi Battalion.

All in all, if the 513 Heights are lost, the second-line position guarded by Wang Ding will directly face Fu Lehe's attack, if Wang Ding's second-line position is also lost, the Ji'an Battalion and the Puqi Battalion, which are alone in the depths, will be forced to retreat, not to mention how many losses will be caused in the process of breaking through, and the entire strategic intention of the Chu army will be frustrated.

Seeing that Gu Zongfu was full of confidence, Wang Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, I've already blown the cowhide out for you in front of General Wang San. Even if our Ji'an camp fights hard, we have to defend the May 13 Heights. You can't let others look down on ......" Wang Ding was just halfway through his speech when Gu Zongfu interrupted him.

"You said you can keep it? I sue you. Fleur is also desperate! You didn't see it too late, the corpses were piled up to the top of the mountain just now, Lao Tzu almost confessed here, if I came here again, I might not be able to keep it. "Gu Zongfu likes to complain habitually, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must contradict you in his mouth.

"What kind of are you talking about?" Wang Ding said angrily: "The enemy is now, if you dare to disturb the hearts of our army, be careful that I will confine you!" ”

He sacrificed the great weapon of confinement. Gu Zongfu immediately became honest...... These readers are all bad in their stomachs, they usually hook up with you, laugh and laugh, but they turn their faces faster than turning books, they were locked up for seven days last time, and the taste is so good, it's like a life!

"Isn't it okay to talk about it? xxx, xxxxxx...... "Honest is honest, and I can't help but mumble in my mouth."

"What do you say? Be louder! "Wang Ding generally does not act like a camp official. But he really pulled down his face, backed by strict military regulations and military discipline, Gu Zongfu was really a little afraid of him.

"It's nothing, the Tartars are almost halfway up the mountain. It's time for me to go to war. Help me sue the artillerymen, aim at that shit of Fleur, and preferably kill him with one shot. ”

Halfway up the mountainside. The fight is in full swing, at the foot of the mountain. Fu Lehe had already jumped off his horse and stepped on a large bluestone to personally direct the battle. On a hot day, he was still wearing a scarlet cloak, coupled with a golden helmet and gold armor, and he looked very stylish. Flöhler did not pay much attention to the ill-headed mortar, and occasionally a cannonball flew towards him, and he always stood there very calmly, with an indifferent look on his face, until the cannonball flew in front of him.

Wang Ding frowned: "This kid is really a bit of a general's demeanor." ”

Gu Zongfu had already jumped out of the trench, but he turned around and shouted: "Bullshit general demeanor, he's pretending to be X, what did Wang Junmen say?" Pretend to die fast ...... X"

Wang Yi had been silent, lying in front of the trench to observe the shape of the battlefield, but at this moment he suddenly asked: "Is this Fu Lehe?" Azig's son? ”

Wang Ding nodded: "It's him, Azig trusts him very much, and gives him the most elite Eight Banners soldiers, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

Wang Yi's eyes flashed: "He's crazy." As a general, but he is in front of the enemy, it seems that he is less than 200 steps away from the chest wall, right? ”

When the soldier was asked, he was standing in the landmark at two hundred paces, and the exact distance to the breastwork was about one hundred and ninety paces. This distance far exceeds the range of the bow and arrow, and it is difficult to hit the flying stone and the wood, even if it can be shot so far with a super strong bow, the end of the strong crossbow cannot break the armor, only the mortar cannon has a certain threat to him, no wonder he is so big.

(One hundred and ninety steps is too far for a bow and arrow, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Bu shoots a halberd at the gate, and shoots a small branch of the painted halberd one hundred and fifty steps away, which is carefully described in ink and color to highlight Lu Bu's bravery, and Ji Ling's reaction in the novel is: "The halberd is one hundred and fifty steps away, and An can be in it?") ”

In addition, after a certain distance, the lethality of the bow and arrow will be greatly reduced, the military general wearing heavy armor is not too afraid of cold arrows, in the field there are often examples of several arrows in the body can still fight, it is said that some fierce generals after rushing into battle, the arrow taken off the body is several pounds heavy. Muskets have a clear advantage in this regard, even if they hit the target from a long distance, a small bullet can still penetrate the armor and kill the enemy. ）

"Go, call Changsun Yu and a few of them up, there is work to do!"

Wang Yi commanded his own soldiers, but his eyes kept staring at Fu Lehe under the hillside: "It's still too far, I'm not sure......"

"Benjia, do you want to ......?" Wang Ding was inexplicable.

"I've got four mini guns that can go up to one hundred and eighty paces, you know?"

"You've brought them all?" Seeing Wang Yi nodding, Wang Ding slapped him on the shoulder, widened his eyes and said, "Fuck him!" As long as this kid is knocked down with one shot, the Tartar will definitely collapse without a fight! ”

"Don't worry! Fu Lehe is one hundred and ninety paces away, I can only shoot one hundred and eighty paces at the farthest, and I will not be sure until one hundred and fifty paces, well, if four guns fight together, maybe I can be ten or eight paces away......" Wang Yi's gaze swept over the hillside, searching for a suitable sniper position.

"It's okay, I'll cover your counter-charge and go to the breastwork to him! One hundred and fifty steps, isn't it? I pledge to take forty steps forward. Let you reach Fleurch. ”

"Forty steps is too far! If you scare away Fu Lehe, it will be impossible to steal chickens and rice. You see. That's a good place, and you're responsible for emptying the area around it. I'm here to shoot it myself. Wang Yi took a fancy to a raised earthen platform in front of the breastwork, where the terrain could conceal four snipers at the same time, and then kill with one shot.

"Too far, right? It's more than a hundred and sixty steps there. "There is a landmark secretly set up in front of the position of the Chu army, which is convenient for the musketeers to judge the distance of the enemy, and from the landmark, the Tutai is about one hundred and sixty-five steps away from Fu Lehe.

"There is no more suitable position, concealment first, if it is discovered by Fu Lehe, it is useless to be ten or twenty steps closer." Wang Yi turned around. Hold Wang Ding's hand: "Don't worry, I know how heavy this shot is, and it will definitely not be missed." ”

His hands, steady, dry, and powerful.

At the foot of the mountain, Fu Lehe was expressionless, but his heart was a little impatient.

The Eight Banners under his command are all the elite of the elite, but they are not as perfect as they imagined. Because they have been hidden by Zilharang, these Eight Banners soldiers are very unfamiliar with the positional warfare of attacking the mountain, just like a tiger and a bear compete to break a stick, and they are not as skilled as those bears of the Green Battalion.

Yes. Compared with the green battalion soldiers under Zhang Guozhu, in addition to being more brave, the only advantage of the Eight Banners soldiers is that they shoot their bows and arrows more accurately. Inflicted more casualties on the Chu army, but in terms of offensive rhythm and tactical coordination. They are all like a bunch of recruits who can't fight, and they are very clumsy. In such a positional assault with unfavorable terrain. The first taboo soldiers were all huddled together, and the second taboo was to charge in front of the enemy's firepower, but the Eight Banners occupied both of them.

In the standard thermal weapons warfare of later generations, when attacking a commanding height, the first thing to do was to destroy the enemy's fortifications and fire points with heavy artillery, and then use machine guns and mortars to cover and suppress the enemy's fire before launching a charge...... The Qing army could not destroy the Chu army fortifications halfway up the mountainside, and there was no way to talk about fire cover, the best tactic was to be like Zhang Guozhu's green battalion soldiers, rush to within fifty steps to find suitable cover, and then bow and arrow to shoot at the Chu army, if there are enough archers, you can greatly weaken the Chu army's firepower, and then launch a charge. The Eight Banners did not have the consciousness of forming a straggler line, nor did they have the patience to slowly shoot and consume, so they came up and launched a group charge with a tiger tooth knife, trying to defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop.

This is Fu Lehe's tactical arrangement, the Chu army's low breastwork can jump up, directly rushing up hand-to-hand combat is the most ferocious and direct tactics, as long as the initial casualties are resisted, the battle can be quickly resolved, and the final casualty figure will be very low...... In the previous battle, he saw several times that the auxiliaries and the green battalion soldiers rushed to the front of the trench, the firepower of the Chu army's flintlock pistols was not too fierce, and he could only rely on the tiger squat artillery and General Lei to hold the position, so he deliberately divided the attacking troops into two waves, and found a few suitable breakthrough points for them, trying to avoid the tiger squat artillery of the Chu army.

"Nine out of ten!" Before Fu Lehe ordered the attack, he had already made mental preparations for a hundred casualties, and at most a hundred casualties, the Eight Banners could attack the chest wall and slaughter the musketeers of the Chu army with tiger tooth knives and broadswords, and the next step was to break through the whole line and seize the May 13 Heights.

"I'm X, how can this be?" However, the Chu army suddenly changed its tactics, and did not shoot at more than 50 paces to block the attack, but kept putting the Eight Banners at a distance of 30 paces before suddenly firing.

Xu Nannan lay on his stomach in front of the chest wall, squinting one eye and aiming from Wangshan, as the Eight Banners got closer and closer, the targets that could be selected in the field of vision continued to decrease, and finally there was only one Eight Banners soldier with a mustache. At a distance of thirty steps, Xu Nannan could clearly see the other party's facial features, and even met his gaze.

At a distance of fifty paces, he could only aim his gun at one enemy, and in each platoon of gun fire, there would always be many bullets hitting the same target, but the enemy next to him was unscathed, and even if he could hit the target, he could hit the leg, foot, and arm in places that were not critical...... But now, Xu Nannan felt that her muzzle was on the head of the mustache.

"Fire!"

After Xu Nannan pulled the trigger, he directly retreated to give way to the firing position, and without checking the results, he pulled out the sword to report to the country, and carved another horizontal line on the handle of the gun. On the handle of the gun, there are three "positive" characters and one "one" character. That's great! Today, he killed nine Tartars in one day, more than the previous total, and Xu Nannan couldn't help but laugh.

This salvo was so sudden, the neat gunfire seemed to be amplified several times, in front of the hillside, Fu Lech's war horse was looking down at the grass, after hearing this thunderbolt gunshot, he also took a step backwards, at the foot of the mountain, Fu Lech stared at the halfway up the mountain...... The smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the second and third rounds of guns were fired one after another, and he had not been able to see the casualties of the Eight Banners, but the Qing army's charging formation was like encountering an invisible wall, and suddenly stopped.

After being hit head-on, the Qing army finally learned to behave, looked around for a hidden position, and began to shoot with bows and arrows. When the smoke cleared, Fu Lehe saw clearly that the front line of the Qing army seemed to have been wiped out by an invisible hand, and the hillside was full of corpses.

Next, it was an extremely irritating and painful battle of attrition, and what made Fu Lehe arrive helplessly was that the reserves of the Chu army always seemed to be unable to fight, and the firepower behind the chest wall had not been significantly weakened.

"Why is it more powerful than just now? Could it be that the southern thief still secretly left a hand? Fu Lehe secretly regretted that he had known this, so he should have accepted Zhang Guozhu's request and let the green battalion soldiers come up and shoot at the Chu army.

Is it possible to take the May 13 Heights quickly? Fu Lehe was a little uncertain, he used the tactics of the sea of people to attack at any cost, just to settle the battle before the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Chu army, if it dragged on like this, all his tactical arrangements today would be wrong.

Subconsciously, he took two steps forward again, stepping on a raised stone to look at the top of the mountain, since the start of the war, more than a dozen Chu army mortar cannons on the top of the mountain have maintained the same frequency of continuous fire, and the shells seem to never be able to hit the light, causing great trouble to the Qing army.

You can't just throw in the towel! Fu Lehe is a fierce general who moves forward bravely, and it is by no means his character to retreat lightly when he encounters a small difficulty.

"Pass on the general order of the national prince and transfer Zhang Guozhu ......"

He had just said that he was halfway through the mountain, when suddenly the war drums thundered on the top of the mountain, and the sound of killing was loud, and hundreds of Chu soldiers jumped out of the chest wall, holding swords and guns, like tigers descending from the mountain, and launched a counter-charge towards the Qing army.

Flörk could not help but be taken aback, it was a very dangerous thing to be counter-charged during the attack, and it was very likely that he would be routed by the enemy in one fell swoop and driven down the hill.

He took two steps forward again, craned his neck to look up the hill.

The Chu army rushed all the way, and the Qing army was caught off guard, knowing the position of forty steps outside the chest wall before stabilizing the position, and launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Chu army. At the back of the Chu army's charging team, Wang Yi and the sharpshooters of the three musket teams turned around and climbed to the stone platform under the cover of their companions.

"......Huh" Fu Lehe exhaled lightly, his heart was relieved of most of it, the southern thief dared to jump out of the cover of the chest wall to launch a counter-charge, although the courage is commendable, but in fact it is very stupid, and the fierce Eight Banners have hand-to-hand combat, these Han dogs are definitely not opponents.

"Good! Very good! Waiting for the general order of the national duke, he immediately beat the drum and sounded the trumpet, and the whole army attacked, and captured this earth mountain in one fell swoop! ”

On the stone platform, four Mini guns locked on to Fourlech.

A gun was aimed at the center of the eyebrows, a gun was aimed at the chest, and a gun was aimed at the lower abdomen, and Wang Yi aimed at Fu Lehe's left chest.

"Ready." He ordered in a low voice.

"Fire." The four Minnie guns pulled the trigger together, and the bullets spun at high speed under the action of rifling, and after rushing out of the muzzle, they steadily broke through the air and fired towards Fourlech, a hundred and sixty paces away.

Inside,According to Bandu's understanding,The front-loading gun does not support horizontal firing,It's because it can't be loaded.,If you load the ammunition first and only shoot one shot.,It's feasible to use horizontal fire for covert sniping.,I don't know if my understanding is right.,Here I asked the firearms master in the book friend.,Which one can answer please leave a message in the book review area.,Thank you!
