Chapter 192: Trench Battle
Amin personally came to the front of the Jurchen armor soldiers, brandished the steel knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, there is nothing ahead that can stop your steps. As long as you rush over, everything on Eternal Life Island belongs to you. I, Amin, pledge that whatever you grab on the island, you will be yours. Go ahead! Use the steel knives in your hands to tell those Han people who dare to resist that life is better than death! ”
"Whoa!!" The Jurchens howled like wolves, and even those Han military flags let out cheers.
Soon the two thousand Han army banners rushed forward with shields, and they had just rushed through the defensive range of the fortress when they were surprised to find that the Changxing army had dug a circle of trenches here.
The earth dug out of these trenches was piled up on one side, forming a half-man-high breastwork. Every few steps between the breastwork, a black hole in the muzzle of a cannon was pointed at them.
Han Junqi looked at the fire guns that were densely aimed at them in the trench, and his scalp was numb for a while. But the military order had been given, and they could only bow their heads and rush forward.
The artillery on the position of the Changxing army opened fire first, and the rumbling sound of the cannon burst people's eardrums. Shells kept opening bloody alleys in the ranks of the Han army flag, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
When the Han army flag finally reached 60 paces, the fire guns in the trench opened fire one after another. Patches of Han army flags were knocked down, and they could no longer move forward.
Although the gunners of the Changxing Army were not able to line up for three strikes, they divided into two groups and fired outwards alternately. The number of firebolts compensates for the lack of frequency, and with each shot, a large number of enemies are knocked to the ground.
The artillery that was replaced with scattered bullets was even more ferocious, and hundreds of lead bullets swept away the Han army flags. No matter how strong the shield is, it can't stop the lead bullets from opening blood holes in their bodies one by one, and these Han military flags that were hit head-on were directly dismembered.
At this time, the Han army banners could no longer hold on, and they turned around and fled. The Changxing army opened fire again behind the Han army banner, and less than half of the Han army banners could escape alive.
Amin watched the battle with a clairvoyant mirror from the rear, and when he saw the Han army fleeing back in embarrassment, the muscles on his face kept beating.
"The hundred people who took the lead in escaping were beheaded!" He gritted his teeth and spat out these words, and everything in front of him was not what he imagined.
Instead of collapsing because the fortress was breached, the Changxing army dug several trenches here to deal with itself.
The fresh force he sent out hit his head and bleeds with a single charge, and he knew that the situation just now would not have a very good result even if he sent the Jurchen armor soldiers. But someone must bear the consequences of losing the first battle, and it is the best choice to stabilize the army with the head of the Han military flag.
Xu Lianshan shouted excitedly in the trench: "Three! Just now, Lao Tzu killed three enemies. Now you all understand the intentions of the handsome! Gather all the Jiannu here and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the result of total annihilation. ”
He's talking in the vernacular! One of the soldiers tugged at his sleeve and said, "Put the total!" Jiannu is up again! ”
Xu Lianshan looked ahead again, only to see that this time the Jurchens pushed the shield cart and attacked. They hid behind the shield carts, poking their heads out from time to time to check what was going on in front of them.
Soon the artillery on the positions of the Changxing army opened fire, and one by one the shield cars were destroyed. The people behind the shield cart were also beaten to pieces, and from time to time explosions would come from behind the shield cart.
"Huh?" When Xu Lianshan saw this, he ordered loudly: "All the immortal hands pay attention to the guy who is carrying a powder keg on Jiannu's back, this time Jiannu is going to play yin, everyone be careful!" ”
The Jurchens fought very tenaciously this time, although the shield cart kept being destroyed. But they still did not hesitate to charge forward, and once they were within range of their bows and arrows, the heavy arrows swept through the positions of the Changxing army like rain.
Fortunately, everyone hid in the trench, and there were helmets and cuirass to protect them, so they didn't suffer much damage. Except for a few unlucky eggs who were shot through the gap in the mask and fell to the ground and died, the rest of the Changxing army continued to shoot outward.
All the artillery on the positions of the Changxing army was replaced with scattered shells, and they kept bombarding the Jurchen shield cars.
Zhang Dou stood on a watchtower in the rear, observing the situation on the battlefield. He scanned the changes of the Jurchens back and forth, and when he saw that many soldiers with powder kegs on their backs were concentrated behind the few shield carts in the middle, he ordered: "Concentrate the artillery fire in the center of the position!" ”
With the issuance of his order, the artillery of the Changxing army rang out one after another. In just one round, several shield carts in the middle of the position were scattered, and the dead soldiers hiding behind them were broken to pieces.
Amin watched in horror from behind, and he saw with his own eyes a dead soldier who had been shattered by artillery fire and then blown to ashes by a powder keg that had ignited.
Although from time to time there were dead soldiers who could rush into the trenches of the Changxing army, the Changxing army, which had been prepared, immediately poured the water that had been heating on the fire on the side.
Most of the dead failed to detonate the powder keg until they died, and occasionally one or two managed to kill them. For the entire defense line of the Changxing Army, it is just a drop in the bucket, and this loss is simply insignificant.
Rondo plucked up his courage at Amin's side and said, "Master! You can't fight like this anymore, your blue flag can't afford such a loss! ”
Hearing Rondo's words, Amin roared angrily: "What can I do if I don't fight?" Do you want to watch Minggou be arrogant in front of the master? ”
He had a reason why he had to take Immortal Island, despite the heavy casualties. But Amin always felt that he could break through the defense line of the Changxing army with more effort, so he invested all his troops in a crazy attack.
"Master! The cunning Ming Dog dug three of these trenches, and you broke through one and two. How many golden warriors would it take to fill these trenches! Master, I can't fight anymore! Rondo knelt on the ground, kowtowing incessantly.
After listening to Rondo's words, Amin calmed down a little. Rondo is right, but what can be done with this trench? There are two more in the back! Do they all fight like this? If it's all such a line of defense, it's not enough for all the people he brought to fill in.
"Withdraw your troops!" Amin figured this out, waved his hand and sat on the ground. He was thinking about the predicament he would face if he failed, and he was thinking about the revenge of those Jurchen nobles, he was thinking about .......
Rondo saw the depressed Amin and said, "Master! Ming Dog can dig a trench to defend, and we can also dig a trench to attack! As long as we dig the trench in front of the eyes of the Ming Dog, we can attack by jumping out of the trench. Or simply dig the trench with the trench of the Ming Dog, and ...... by then. ”
After listening to Rondo's words, Amin's eyes were full of light, and he regained his dignity as a big Belle.
"Rondo, you're very good, I'll give you credit when I go back! At least I'll get you a Taijidangdang. Ha ha!! ”
