Chapter 85: Hurry Hurry! Don't look like an old lady!
(0085)
[Today's second update is delivered, 5000 words big chapter ~~~ Ask for collection, ask for recommendation ~~~]
Zhang Zhun did not expect Lu Mi or other firearms to inflict casualties on the enemy. After all, a distance of 100 meters is still too far for firearms. Although the range of the Lumi gun reaches 150 meters, the accuracy is completely lost. However, the sound of ping-pong gunfire can effectively hinder the enemy's movement and boost your own morale.
Just as the soldiers are afraid of firecrackers, the enemy's fear of firecrackers also exists. As the morale of military households grows higher and higher, their combat effectiveness naturally becomes stronger and stronger. On the contrary, the enemy's morale is getting lower and lower, and the combat effectiveness is naturally decreasing.
The next highlight is the strong attack of the escort team.
Today's guards are dressed in wet cotton clothes and wet dogskin hats. After testing, such primitive equipment can effectively block the bombardment of ordinary firearms. In addition to the Lu Mi gun, ordinary muskets, with projectiles hitting wet cotton clothes, cannot put people to death.
"Up!"
Zhang Zhun waved his hand.
The convoy immediately swarmed up.
They rushed to the gates. There is no moat in the city gate, and the city gate has been opened, which is equivalent to opening the way into the city. What they have to do is to pass through this distance of less than 200 meters as quickly as possible, and enter the city with lightning speed.
Zhang Yatie, Peng Bo and others are worthy of being the top soldiers among the top soldiers, and their explosive power is very strong. Seeing Zhang Zhun's gesture fall, they jumped up and rushed towards the city gate cave like lightning. They thought they must be the fastest one because their reflexes were the fastest. However, they soon discovered that someone was faster than them - Yin Fengyi rushed up from behind, overtook the two of them by force, and was the first to rush into the city gate hole.
The nickname of "Scud" is definitely not blown out!
Zhang Yatie and Peng Bo, of course, were not to be outdone, followed behind Yin Fengyi, and also rushed into the city gate cave.
Some of Wang Shixin's family members were stunned by the loud noise, some hid behind the battlements, and there were actually very few people who had the courage to put their guns. Therefore, the charge of Yin Fengyi, Zhang Yatie, Peng Bo and others was not hindered in any way, and the distance of 200 meters passed safely.
In the training of modern armies, great attention is paid to the psychological quality of soldiers, especially the psychological quality response under complex battlefield conditions. At the same time, great emphasis is placed on discipline on the battlefield. In order to forge the ability of the warriors to resist the attack. Because on the complicated battlefield, the sound of gunshots, cannons, screams, and moans is endless, and it is easy for people to collapse. And the scene of bullets flying sideways and blurred flesh and blood will also cause great pressure to people, and it is also easy to make people break down psychologically.
Without strict discipline and scientific and systematic training, the entire contingent will soon collapse and completely lose its combat effectiveness. Wang Shixin's family obviously did not receive this kind of cruel training. When they have the upper hand, maybe they can still maintain their fighting power. However, when they are at a disadvantage and in a state of passive beating, their combat effectiveness will decline rapidly, and eventually they will become completely overwhelmed.
In fact, the actual damage caused by the two Franc cannons on Zhang Zhun's side is quite limited, and the fire guns are even more scene-filling, and it remains to be said whether the projectiles can fly to the top of the city. As long as the defenders are psychologically strong, do not have stage fright, and do not panic, they can take all kinds of counterattack measures, such as firing guns, firing arrows, throwing bricks, gravel, fire oil, etc., to stop the advance of the escort. Unfortunately, the defenders were completely overwhelmed by artillery fire, and everyone hid behind the battlements, refusing to poke their heads out.
"Bang!"
The sound of the Franc machine's cannons continued.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was another loud bang.
But the tower above the city gate hole was hit by a projectile.
The hit rate of the Franc machine is indeed not high, at most three out of ten shots, and the rest of the projectiles do not know where they flew. However, the city tower of Fushan City has a very large target, not to mention, the distance between the two is less than sixty zhang, and the chance of being hit is still quite large. No, after the solid bullet hit the city tower, the city head suddenly collapsed a corner, and all kinds of bricks, rubble, and fragments flew everywhere, as if there was a big explosion, which invisibly increased the lethality.
Wang Shixin's family members were even more frightened. Someone was hit by flying debris, bleeding profusely, screaming desperately. In fact, some people were only hit by small fragments, and there was no major problem at all, but in a high degree of panic, seeing the blood on their bodies, they thought that they were seriously injured and could not be saved, so they let out a hysterical roar. The chaotic shouting and shouting seriously deepened the panic of the others, and some people began to consider whether to sneak away from the battlefield.
In fact, the lethality of solid bullets is really small if it is placed in a plain area. However, when used to siege cities, the power is much greater. These gravel tiles smashed out by solid bullets are equivalent to its shrapnel, expanding the killing range. However, the location of the city tower is high, and the broken stone tiles that were smashed and flew out were also far away, so that the families near the city tower avoided it one after another.
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot them!"
Wang Fuhai roared wildly.
If the convoy had rushed in, they would all be finished.
He had to muster up his courage and walk back and forth in the city, kicking every member of the royal family and ordering them to fight back. For others other than the family, Wang Fuhai was too lazy to pay attention. If you want others to launch a counterattack, it is simply impossible, they have long been frightened. It is already very rare that they did not quietly flee the battlefield.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Scattered firebolts rang out.
The family members popped their heads out of the city and lowered their guns to the city.
However, the musket is a smoothbore gun, and in the absence of dense fire, it is basically impossible to hit a single enemy. Fifty firebolts, by any measure, are not dense firepower. What's more, in order to avoid being attacked by rubble tiles, they were far away from the location of the tower. In this way, the attack of the firebolt becomes a side shot.
If there are modern machine guns, the rate of fire is fast, and side fire can also form crossfire, blocking the city gates. However, the firebolt's slow rate of fire, its short range, and its ability to fire from the side makes its already low lethality. Shooting a moving target with a firebolt will never be more accurate than a novice shooting a moving target 100 meters away with a bow and arrow.
Amid the sound of ping-pong gunfire, the guards rushed into the city gate. In the process, occasionally one or two fighters of the convoy fell, irrespective of the overall situation. As long as it is not hit on the spot, and there is a wet cotton coat to block it, at most it is an injury, and timely rescue will not be life-threatening.
The firing of the fire gun could not stop the rolling torrent. In fact, with a distance of less than 60 zhang, it takes less than a minute to run through. In one minute, an ordinary firecracker, no matter how fast it is, is only fired three times, and the lethality is naturally not very large.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhun and the others had already rushed into the city.
As for Yin Fengyi, Zhang Yatie, Peng Bo and others who rushed to the front, they had already fought with the enemy. The enemy on the tower tried to come down and block the gate hole, but was stopped by three people.
The soldiers of the escort entered the city and immediately dispersed, quickly dispersing around according to the battle plan they had made before. They joined the warband. The sporadic enemies who tried to block the advance of the convoy were like branches in front of a snowball, clicked and easily snapped, leaving a dozen corpses behind on the spot.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”
"Don't look like an old lady!"
Zhang Zhun stood at the position of the city gate, constantly waving his hands and shouting loudly, urging the soldiers to hurry up.
A squad ......
Two squads......
Three squads......
Four squads......
Soon, the convoy had already appeared in the city with four squads of about two hundred people.
Everything is completely free of suspense.
The team led by Yin Fengyi has been rushing forward along the cross street.
Their task was to open the north gate.
The team led by Li Jiaxi also rushed forward along the cross street.
Their task was to open the east gate.
As long as these two gates are opened, a large number of military households outside the city will flock in, and Fushan City will be the world of military households.
"Kill!"
I don't know who roared, and the sound shook the four wilds.
Seeing that the escorts had all entered, the military households outside the west gate couldn't help it. They followed behind the escort and also rushed into Fushan City. At this time, the escort team that entered the city had already started a fight with the enemy. The enemy simply didn't have the strength to block the surging crowds outside the city.
Seeing that the convoy had already rushed into the city and was fighting with the enemy, the poor military households who had lived in the city, especially those artisans, also came out one after another to lead the way for the convoy soldiers who rushed in. Many of them also took up sticks and other weapons and followed the escort into battle.
The east and north gates were soon opened, and the military households in the city, who had been waiting impatiently, poured into Fushan City like a flood. Soon, the entire Fushan City was filled with a stormy shouting of killing. Occasionally, one or two enemies appeared, and they were immediately overwhelmed by a large group of military households, and the fate can be imagined. The power of the people's war is really terrible.
Zhang Zhun followed Yang Junjie's team into the city.
The streets of Fushansu are common "cross streets" in various towns. The cross street is an obvious feature of the architectural pattern of the coastal defense station in the Ming Dynasty, which is very easy to raise military horses and has an important military function. In addition to the cross street, Fushan City also has the saying of "three bridges in ten steps" and "three temples in two steps".
"Two steps and three temples" means that the Jade Emperor Temple is only two steps wide, and there are three temples on both sides of the temple, so it gets its name. At the same time, in order to store water for later use, a water inlet was built in the middle of the city near the four sides of the city wall, of which the south bay was the largest, but because of the lowest terrain, the water eventually overflowed into other depressions, forming a strange scene of "ten steps and three bridges".
Of course, the latter two have little to do with the current combat development. The fighting between the two sides continued, and no one was in the mood to see the scenery, but there were many people who hid in the temple one after another, for fear that they would be affected by the pond fish. There are also enemies who see a bad opportunity and jump into the inlet, trying to avoid the catastrophe.
The two squads of Yang Zhiyuan and Hao Linyong, who rushed to the front, had already started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with Wang Shixin's main players. The householders tried to shoot condescendingly from the walls and prevent the guards from going up the walls. The soldiers of the escort team wanted to seize the city wall and completely wipe out the team of fifty people.
The shouts of killing continued, the screams were also incessant, the groans were undulating, and the sound of the clashing of weapons, the firing of firearms, the roar of cannons, and the hysterical roars were intertwined, even hell on earth was not so chaotic. In the fierce fighting, people continue to fall, and people continue to join the battlefield. The two sides continued to fight and counter each other until an area was completely controlled.
Warriors of the convoy, settle battles with spears and triangular thorns. Wang Shixin's family members used fire guns and waist knives to solve battles, and some enemies used spears. The guns of Wang Shixin's family were slow to fire, and once they were approached by the escorts, the guns immediately lost their effect. In the end, the family had to abandon the firearms and use weapons such as waist knives and spears to fight the guards hand-to-hand.
However, the morale of the two sides is really too far apart. One side is like a rainbow, but the other side is falling to the bottom. At the same time, at the level of training, the two are not the same. Soon, Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others had already rushed up to the city tower with their escorts. The convoy fighters and the enemy are intertwined, you have me, I have you, entangled and inseparable.
In fact, once hand-to-hand combat begins, Wang Shixin will not have the slightest advantage. The daily training intensity of the escort team is the limit value of the human body, how can Wang Shixin's family team do this? In the confrontation between the two sides, because of morale, the combat effectiveness of one side was full or even exceeded, but the combat effectiveness of one side was constantly declining, and it was not even 30% of the original.
Of course, while the enemy kept falling, there were also people on the side of the convoy who fell. The main cause of casualties among the convoys was that some of the family members hid to the side to guard against cold guns. Due to the close proximity of the two sides, the role of the cold gun is still quite large. Once hit, it will definitely fall on the spot. However, such a cold gun obviously cannot save the fate of the family members who are about to perish.
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw to the Thousand Houses!"
Wang Fuhai found that the situation was very unfavorable to him, and hurriedly roared loudly.
He took the remnants of the sober family, abandoned the city wall, desperately fought his way out, and fled in the direction of a thousand houses, even his own Lao Tzu was gone.
The convoy, of course, was in hot pursuit.
In order to deal with these fleeing families, Zhang Zhun ordered Yang Zixuan to go to the Thousand Households Mansion with a musket team to support the battle. At the same time, Zhang Zhun also ordered Yang Guohua to quickly push the cannon into the city and help the soldiers solve the battle at close range.
"Captain, we have found Wang Shixin!"
"This old boy is hiding in the city tower with people, and the trapped beasts are still fighting!"
Zhang Zhun came to the city tower and was about to go up, when Yang Qianqiang sent someone to report in a hurry.
"I'll go up and have a look."
Zhang Zhun said quietly.
Coming up the stairs on the left, Zhang Zhun saw a group of soldiers of the escort team, who had already surrounded the dilapidated city tower. The tower was hit by solid bullets many times, and only some ruins remained, and only the foundation below was still intact.
Wang Shixin took seven or eight family members and was surrounded in the aisle of the ruined city tower. Because there is a hidden soldier cave in the city tower, Zhang Zhun can't see Wang Shixin's figure. The enemy is hiding in the dark.
"Bring the cannon up!"
Zhang Zhun waved outside.
The Franc machine gun weighed more than 1,000 catties, and after dismantling, the heaviest barrel was about 600 catties, and it took four big men to carry it around. Yang Guohua and others worked very hard in the battle, dismantling a Franc machine cannon, lifting it directly on the city wall, and then reassembling it.
"Order the people inside to surrender!"
"If we don't surrender, we'll open fire!"
Zhang Zhun said coldly.
Yang Qianqiang immediately shouted loudly inside.
There was no movement in the cave.
Zhang Zhun made a gesture to open the cannon.
"Bang!"
The Franc cannon fired.
The projectile hit the tower, and immediately smashed a hole, and the rubble flew around.
The people in the cave were silent for an instant, probably stunned.
"Up!"
Yang Qianqiang waved his hand gently.
With the experience of dealing with the Tartars, Yang Qianqiang asked the corpses to be held up, lined up in a row, blocked in front of him, and then pressed forward into the hiding cave. As a result, there has been no major reaction from the cave.
The soldiers of the escort team quickly rushed into the cave of the hidden soldiers, followed by the occasional explosion of firearms inside, I don't know if there are still sober family members who are dying, but more screams, the screams of the family members. The two sides have been fighting for so long, basically they are red-eyed, the captives or something must not exist anymore, and the screams are all emitted at the moment when their lives are over, which is extremely fierce.
Not long after, Wang Shixin was brought out, but he was knocked unconscious by the guards. It turned out that when the artillery bombarded, he didn't faint, but stood in the innermost part of the cave in a daze, not knowing what to do. For this Senho-sama, everything that happened in front of him always felt as if he was in a dream, and he refused to admit that it was reality.
It wasn't until Yang Qianqiang approached his side that Wang Shixin came to his senses, suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and pounced viciously at Yang Qianqiang. As a result, before he came to Yang Qianqiang's face, he was smashed on his head by two guards on the left and right, one on the left and one on the right, and he was knocked unconscious on the spot. If Zhang Zhun hadn't confessed before, if he wanted to capture Wang Shixin alive as much as possible, the soldiers would have crossed two spears on the left and one on the right, ending his life.
Zhang Zhun looked at Wang Shixin, who was unconscious, and said lightly: "Just let him continue to faint!" He'll wake up! ”
Leaving Zou Mingjia's team on the city tower to maintain order and prevent accidents, Zhang Zhun ordered the other teams to continue to develop into the city. At the same time, the artillery that had been brought to the head of the city advanced along the city wall in the direction of the thousand houses. The Franc machine artillery fired condescendingly, with a longer range and greater destructive power.
