Chapter 146: The Soldier is in a Desperate Situation

Just now, when the Han soldiers were carrying a ladder to attack the city, Sukhbaru and Huli were standing not far away to watch the battle.

When the artillery on the head of the city sent out solid bullets, they were not worried, this kind of solid bullets, they had seen a lot in the battle with the Ming army, although the sound was very loud and the lethality was great, but the hit rate was not high, besides, the dead were all Han soldiers, they would not cherish it at all, what the Han people had was that if the Jurchen men were not enough, they could find a way to get the Han strong men at any time.

They were shocked when almost all of the Han soldiers were wounded under the city. They did not lament the casualties of the Han soldiers, but were shocked by the strength of the Ming army's firearms.

"No, what's going on? When did the Ming army have such a powerful firearm? Sukhbaru encountered a problem that he did not understand, so he had to ask his deputy, Hu Li, because he did not know a lot of Chinese, and he had read a lot of Han books, so he knew more about the tricks of the Han people.

But this time Sukhbaru was disappointed, and he didn't understand what was going on with the Ming army's fire # gun, he slowly shook his head: "It's better to wait for those Han soldiers to come back, and then ask them!" ”

"Ezhen, Zhang Jing, the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, we can't get close to the city wall at all." The Han soldiers, who were lucky enough to escape with their lives, knelt at the feet of Sukhbaru and Hu Libu, crying one by one as if their own father had died on the battlefield.

"Your losses are not large when passing through the range of the artillery, tell me what is happening under the walls." Su Hebaru could only count on these Han soldiers now, and because of his excitement, he forgot to let these frightened Han soldiers stand up.

"Ezhen, it's a fire # gun, the Ming army's fire # gun is too powerful." The Han soldiers thought that Sukhbaru was going to blame them for their incompetence, and one by one they lay on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, as if only kowtowing could alleviate their sin of ineffective attack.

"Fire # guns? Is the Ming army all fire # guns? "Hu Li didn't take Su Hebalu's words, he didn't see the Ming army on the city just now.

"Yes, the Ming army is full of fire # guns, they didn't shoot a single arrow." The Han soldiers kowtowed to the Han soldiers, and how they hoped that their loyalty would bring them forgiveness, at least, when Sukhbaru wanted to cure them for the crime of ineffectiveness in war, and they could not say a few good words for them and spare their lives.

"Let me ask you, at what distance were you shot by the Ming army?" He never tries to figure out the thoughts of his subordinates, especially the subordinates of the Han army, and he is more concerned about what kind of powerful the Ming army's fire # guns are.

The soldier pondered deeply for a while: "Fifty steps, according to the villain's eyesight, it will definitely not exceed fifty steps." ”

"Fifty steps?" Sukhbaru was overjoyed, the original Ming army's fire # gun was only fifty steps, which was similar to the original firearms, and it could also scare and scare these Han people who could not fire arrows, the bows and arrows of the Jurchens and Mongols were all more than sixty steps, and a few powerful warriors could shoot to seventy steps, and individual warriors could even shoot to eighty steps.

Both in range and rate of fire, their bows and arrows surpassed the Ming army's fire # guns.

The risk brought by ignorance of the Ming army just now has finally passed, and Sukhbaru has regained his usual self-confidence and cruelty, and he and Hu Libu exchanged glances, and his tone suddenly changed: "I ask you, why did you run away from the battlefield without permission?" ”

"Ezhen, the Ming army's fire # guns are too powerful, we have a whole cow record, only a few of us are left, if we don't retreat, we will definitely die." The Han soldier was terrified, and he looked at Hu Libu, but Hu Li did not look up to the sky, as if he was communicating with his shaman.

"Dead? Which warrior of the Dajin Kingdom did not come from death? Just the lives of you Han people? Sukhbaru beckoned to his soldiers, "Come on, drag these Han people who are greedy for life and afraid of death down to worship the immortal heaven." ”

"Yes, yes."

More than twenty Jurchen soldiers rushed towards the Han soldiers, and they worked in pairs to hold down one Han soldier, and the third soldier drew his scimitar and struggled to cut off the back of the Han soldier's neck.

"Click, click......"

Without hesitation, the sound of the neck bone breaking came from under the Jurchen soldier's knife, swirling in the air and quickly disappeared.

The head slipped from the knife edge and smashed heavily on the ground, a pair of desperate eyes, all half-open, and after rolling on the ground a few times, the upper and lower eyes and faces were stimulated by the dust, and then gradually came together.

Several chambers of hot blood rushed up from the broken part of the neck, mixed with the autumn cold, and fell rapidly, splashing the blood stains of the Jurchen soldiers.

"Listen," Sukhbaru began to mobilize on the battlefield again, "if anyone does not obey orders and flees on the battlefield without permission, these Han people are their example." ”

"There are no escaped warriors in the Dajin Kingdom." He raised his right hand and swore to the shaman.

"There are no escaped warriors in the Dajin Kingdom." Whether it is a Jurchen or a Mongolian, at this moment, they are all warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, and the neat voice can reach the north gate of Ningyuan.

"The range of the Ming munitions # gun is only fifty paces, which is not at all comparable to the range of the Dajin Kingdom's bow and arrow. Two Mongol Niulu, one Jurchen Niulu, with a shield, prepared to attack the city, and three Jurchen Niulu, sixty paces below the city, fired arrows at the head of the city to cover the siege. Without my order, you must not take a step back, and you must attack the city at once and destroy the Ming Dynasty Tofu Army. "Sukhbaru gave the final order to siege the city.

Sukhbaru only had six Niu Lu in his hands, but these were all Jurchen and Mongol Niu Lu, and their combat effectiveness was very strong, so in order to capture Ningyuan at one time, he sent all his soldiers out.

"Brigade seat, those Han soldiers who ran back, were all beheaded by Jiannu." The observer's eyesight was better, and he could clearly see the Han soldiers being held down and beheaded.

Li Xing nodded, he also saw it, "These inhumane Jiannu have never treated the Han people as human beings. The order went down, and after a while, Jiannu attacked the city, and gave me a aimed shot, and we don't want prisoners of war. ”

"Yes, Brigade." The heralds quickly spread Li Xing's words throughout the city of the North Gate.

"Brigade, it seems that Jiannu is about to attack." Staff officer Yue Jingsheng also came to the city and stood by Li Xing's side.

"Gunner ready." Li Xing shouted loudly.

"Yes." The gunners replied loudly.

"Brigade seat, Jiannu is in the range of the artillery."

"Gunners, shoot freely where there are many people."

There are more than 600 soldiers under the city, which is much denser than when the Han soldiers attacked just now, and the more people there are, the greater the power of the artillery.

Both the Jurchens and the Mongols held shields, but in front of a solid bullet the size of a grapefruit, the shield was like a thin layer of profane clothes and pants, which could not offset the energy of the solid bullet at all.

There are constantly Jiannu falling, and there are constantly Jiannu screaming, but Jiannu follows one after another, and he doesn't care whether the solid bullet above his head falls on his body.

The gunners kept adjusting the muzzles, but the power of the solid shells was too low, and when the Jiannu passed through the coverage area of the gun and entered the dead end of the artillery, the casualties were only a few dozen.

"Stop shelling, flintlock ready." The artillery was no longer able to destroy the Jiannu, and the task of eliminating the Jiannu was given to the flintlock pistol.

As soon as the artillery stopped, Jiannu quickened the pace of the march.

"Brigade seat, Jiannu enters the range of one hundred paces."

"Free fire, keep Jiannu a hundred paces away."

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

Three hundred flintlock muskets and bullets, a hundred paces below the city, formed a dense network of firepower, and the Jiannu who entered the firing range fell under the guns one after another.

"What's going on? Doesn't it mean that the range of the munitions # gun is only fifty paces? How can you shoot in a hundred steps? Sukhbaru noticed that there were too many soldiers who had fallen under the guns, and shouted a rebuke to him.

"Ezhen, are those Han people lying to us? These cunning Han dogs. "He didn't curse, and he didn't have anything to do.

Without Sukhbaru's order to retreat, the soldiers rushed forward, while the gunners at the head of the city had already begun the second round of shooting, and Jiannu, who had entered the firing range, fell under the second wave of guns.

A flintlock bullet hit Jiannu's shield and bounced back into Sukhbaru's eyes, almost killing him. Sukhbaru was taken aback, "Shield, quick, put the shield on your head." ”

"Boom, boom." More flintlock bullets hit the Jiannu shield and bounced back in an unpredictable direction. The shield was made of wood, covered with raw cowhide, and was so strong that a flintlock rifle bullet could not penetrate it at all.

Protected by a shield, Kennu once again launched a tidal wave of attacks on the city walls.

Li Xing also discovered that the bullets of the flintlock pistol could not penetrate Jiannu's shield, and watched Jiannu approach the city wall step by step.

"Avoid the shield and shoot at any exposed part of Kennu." Li Xing screamed even loudly, and his voice was hoarse.

The gunners adjusted the direction of their shots, but Jiannu's arms, thighs and other parts exposed outside the shield were too small, and the shooting effect was still not obvious, and Jiannu had already entered the range of their bows and arrows after paying a small price.

Jiannu gathered the shields together to form a huge shield, and the archers stood behind the shields and began to fire arrows at the head of the city.

Immediately the screams of the gunmen were heard from the top of the city.

"Hurry back and hide behind the parapet." Li Xing watched his soldiers continue to be injured, and his heart was dripping blood.

Jiannu's archers could not see the city walls, and they used the method of projectile arrows, which first shot into the sky and then fell from the sky, and even though the gunners hid behind the parapet wall, many soldiers were still hit by Jiannu's arrows.

"Withdraw from the city and retreat to safety behind for the time being."

"Brigade, you can't withdraw it, Jiannu will definitely attack the city in a while." After Yue Jingsheng came to the city, he never left, Li Xing asked the soldiers to retreat, and he was anxious.

Li Xing shouted: "Do you want the soldiers to be attacked by arrows at the head of the city in vain? ”

"Brigade seat, if Jiannu grabs the city, the casualties of the soldiers will be even greater." Yue Jingsheng's voice also raised an octave, but he quickly realized that his emotions were a little out of control, so he lowered his voice: "Damn, why don't we have arrows and shields?" ”

"Shield?" Li Xing muttered silently, the new army of the Ming Dynasty relied on firearms, and had completely given up bows and arrows and shields, and even had no armor on his body, how could there be a shield?
