Chapter 463: Knock Him Down with One Shot!

Even, the two-zhang high city wall, even if the Tartar takes a ladder, can go up. Eventually, however, Haninga gave up on the tempting idea. The reason is not that the Tartars don't dare, but that he is afraid that those Korean servant troops will have nothing to do and hide behind and be lazy. If they are asked to carry a wooden ladder up, they will not be lazy.

After the distribution was completed and the order was delivered, the Tartars, the servants, and the rebels all took action. A large number of rebels made a detour to the other three city gates of Huang County. Due to the large number of rebels, it still looks spectacular. The Tartars and servant troops in front of them kept rushing forward, trying to get close to the city wall of Huangxian as soon as possible.

"Here comes the Tartars!"

"Here comes the Tartars!"

"Here comes the Tartars!"

In the city of Huang County, news is quietly spreading.

Unlike other places where they heard that the Tartars were coming, causing a panic, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were all shocked when they heard that the Tartars were coming, and they paid attention to the field in front of them energetically. I've been waiting for a long time, and the main owner is finally here! Seriously, the current Tiger Ben Army has no interest in fighting the Ming Army. It's better to fight Tartars!

Almost all the officers of the Tiger Ben Army quietly ran to the east gate. Everyone should see for themselves what the great army of the Tartars looks like. In other words, it is the first time that the Tiger Army has officially contacted the large army of the Tartars! In the past, the Tartars of Tianheng Island can only be said to be the non-mainstream of the Tartars.

However, after taking a closer look, everyone felt that the large army of the Tartars did not seem to be remarkable. The same two hands, two legs, and a head. I don't understand, why is the Ming army so afraid of the Tartars? Are tartars really that scary?

"Up!"

Haninga shouted fiercely.

All the Tartars pressed at once towards the east gate. They ran fast, as if the armor on their bodies did not hinder their movement at all. All the Tartars know that the Ming army relied on firearms had two weaknesses. The first is the short range. The second is the slow rate of fire. One of the best ways to deal with firecrackers is to run fast so that the opponent can't aim. One is hand-to-hand combat, so that the other party has no chance to launch. Tartars especially liked the second. As long as there is a chance to be close to the Ming army, one Tartar can deal with more than a dozen Ming troops.

Behind the Tartars, there was an army of servants carrying ladders. With the Tartars pressing the formation, of course, these servant troops did not dare to slack off. They carried dozens of wooden ladders and followed closely behind the tartars. According to previous experience, as long as the Tartars in front of them suppressed the defenders at the head of the city with arrows, they had to erect the wooden ladder, and then let the Tartars climb up the wooden ladder and engage the defenders in hand-to-hand combat. That's what they're going to do. As for fighting the enemy, it is basically not their turn. This is also the fundamental reason why the North Korean servant army is active in every battle, and they are responsible for the attack.

For siege, the Tartars are actually quite experienced. The Tartars are not only good at field warfare, but also have accumulated a wealth of experience in siege. They couldn't break through the castles on the Ningjin front, but the towns inside and outside the Great Wall were a lot. Especially after the Tartars entered the Kou twice, they accumulated rich siege experience. It seems that towns like Zunhua, Miyun, Huairou, Yongning, and Changping were all brutally attacked by the Tatars.

The only siege weapon of the Tartars that have been running for a long time is a wooden ladder. Climbing the top of the city with the help of a wooden ladder and engaging the defenders in hand-to-hand combat is the most basic mode of siege by the Tartars, and it is also the oldest siege method since ancient times. On both occasions, the Tartars used this siege method to achieve victory. Therefore, they were convinced of such a siege method.

Most of the Tartars were covered with sturdy iron armor and were used to defend against the Ming army's firearms. As long as they carried two shots from the Ming army, they could directly fight the Ming army face to face. Therefore, in addition to carrying bows and arrows, most of the Tartars also carried a sharp scimitar. Once they reached the top of the city, this scimitar was a sharp weapon for them to fight.

"Dayinbu!"

"You're the first to go!"

Haninga shouted to the big man beside him.

"Roar!"

Dayinbu replied loudly.

He was a very tall white-armored soldier with thick hands and feet, and powerful limbs. The silver-white armor on his body is very delicately crafted. Due to the general lack of fine armor among the Tartars, such fine armor was basically only available to the bravest warriors. In fact, under Haning'a, this Dayin Bu is indeed the number one warrior. Among these three Niu Lu, no one is Dayinbu's opponent.

In every battle, this Dayinbu was a striker, shooting arrows from a distance and slashing at close range, which terrified countless enemy troops. When the Tartars besieged Zunhua in the second year of Chongzhen, it was this Dayin Bu who was the first to climb the city wall of Zunhua and kill five Ming troops in one go, opening a bloody road. The Tartars in the back swarmed up and occupied Zunhua. In the end, Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Daming Mountain Customs, was killed in Zunhua. After conquering Zunhua, the Tartars drove straight into the city and besieged the Jingshi, and the world shook.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the Kou again and attacked Baoanzhou. It was this Dayinbu again, the first to climb to the top of the city and open a bloody road. In the end, Baoan Prefecture was taken by the Tartars, and all the wealth and population were plundered. Even strong cities like Zunhua and Baoanzhou, Dayinbu can climb up smoothly, and this small Huangxian is not in his eyes.

The curved bow used by Dayinbu is carefully made, and its strength is very strong, and the range is more than 30% longer than that of the horned bow used by ordinary Tartars. Of course, the strength of the bow is also much stronger than that of the average horn bow. Relying on a strong bow and crossbow arrows, within a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, he pointed and struck, and the arrows did not miss. During the siege, he stood under the city and could shoot the defenders at the head of the city with a continuous stream of arrows. During the attack on Zunhua, he once shot seven arrows in a row and killed seven Ming officers, which greatly shocked the morale of the Ming army.

In fact, there is no need for Haninga's orders, Dayinbu has already rushed to the front. Every time he fights, he has to go to the city first, which has almost become his habit. Because, every time the warrior who enters the city first, he can get an extremely rich reward. Whether it is money, women, or status, they have all risen greatly. Dayinbu likes money, women, and status, and he can't let go of a small county like Huangxian.

In the process of running, the curved bow in Dayinbu's hand was already half-opened, and the thick arrow was buckled on the bowstring made of cow tendons. There are still about 300 steps from the city walls. He had to continue running some distance before he could get into range of his bow and arrows.

"Meng Xia, you are in charge of that white-armored soldier."

Dugu hunting cat bent his waist, came to Meng Xia's side, and said in a low voice.

Before the battle began, Dugu Hunt quickly arranged the main shooting target of the sniper detachment. The task that Zhang Zhun gave to the sniper detachment was always the main backbone of sniping the enemy. For the Tartars, it was their white-armored and red-armored soldiers. Among them, the white armor soldier is the best choice.

Dugu Hunt's marksmanship is the best, and his eyes are better. He could tell at a glance that among the Tartars' ranks, there was one white-armored soldier who posed the greatest threat. This white-armored soldier is very fast, very large, and has a curved bow and arrowhead in his hand, which are different from ordinary tartars. Obviously, this guy is a dangerous person. Since it is a dangerous person, of course, it must be killed first.

However, Dugu Hunt is not ready to eat alone. Now he is not only a sniper, but also an instructor and a commander. He is no longer responsible for how to snipe the enemy individually, but how to maximize the potential of each sniper and improve the combat effectiveness of the sniper squad as a whole.

After the expansion, many newcomers came to the sniper detachment. Meng Xia is one of the novices. Their marksmanship is good, and they have the potential to be good snipers. However, as a good sniper, it is not enough to have good marksmanship. For a sniper to mature, he must also go through all kinds of tests, especially the test of actual combat.

The most important thing is to be a good sniper and have confidence in yourself. To do this, of course, it is necessary to have outstanding military exploits. The richer the achievements, the stronger the self-confidence. In layman's terms, the more targets you kill, the more confident you are in yourself.

"The one with three white feathers on its head?"

Meng Xia asked in a low voice.

He fled from Qingzhou Mansion and joined the Tiger Ben Army for less than half a year. Because of his excellent shooting talent, he was targeted by Dugu Hunting during the three-month military training, and then dug up the sniper detachment. After many tests, Meng Xia's shooting level is undoubtedly excellent. However, Meng Xia has not experienced any actual combat, let alone contact with Tartars. He didn't have any military exploits, so naturally he didn't have much confidence. Therefore, Dugu Hunt needs to assign him a worthy goal to cultivate Meng Xia's confidence.

"That's right! That's him! ”

"It's the tartar with three feathers on its head!"

"Your task is to knock him down with one shot at a distance of forty zhang!"

Dugu Hunt said affirmatively.

"Good!"

"I'll get him!"

Meng Xia said confidently.

Dugu Hunt nodded, and continued to tell the next target.

Meng Xia slowly adjusted the muzzle of the tiger gun, the gap in the crosshair, and firmly locked on Dayinbu. In fact, even if there was no command from Dugu Hunt, he had noticed this tartar. Who called him the three white feathers on his helmet, which is really impressive!

Dayinbu didn't realize what kind of bad luck the three white feathers on his helmet would bring to him. He has always believed that these three white feathers bring him only endless good luck. In fact, these three white feathers, whether they are pure carved feathers or white eagles, were given to him by a Mongolian nobleman.

Huang Taiji paid great attention to the relationship between the Mongols and the Manchus, and in addition to the constant marriages, he also often organized cultural and sports exchanges between the two sides. In terms of military performance, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria competed from time to time to select the best warriors and then reward them. Over time, the warriors and royal families on both sides had a tradition of giving gifts to each other.

Because of his outstanding performance, a Mongolian nobleman gave him three white carved hairs. In the eyes of the Mongols, white carved wool is the most precious and auspicious. Wearing white carved fur means that luck is always with you. Dayinbu has always been proud of this, sticking three white carved hairs into his helmet and showing them off everywhere. Even on the battlefield.

300 steps......

Two hundred and fifty steps......

200 steps......

The distance is getting closer.

The bowstring on Dayinbu's hand also began to open. Because the bowstring made of beef tendon is very thick and stressful, even with a thick wrench, Dayinbu can still feel the heavy pressure of the bowstring. The curved bow he uses is indeed powerful, and an arrow can pierce a human body. However, his bow and arrows also have a fatal weakness, that is, they cannot last. Due to the amount of power consumed, after shooting about ten arrows, it is time to go up and chop.

"One Hundred and Fifty Steps......

Dayin Bu silently calculated.

At this time, in his eyes, there was only Huang County in front of him, and only the defenders at the head of Huang County. Everything around him, as if it had nothing to do with him. All the colors, all the sounds, and all the movements in the heavens and the earth completely disappeared in his eyes. The companions around him also didn't exist at all, as if he was the only one struggling towards Huang County.

He searched for every target in the city, the most valuable one. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it for the time being. Everyone in the defenders of Huang County wore gray military uniforms, no armor, no helmets, and no special markings on their bodies. With his knowledge, it is indeed impossible to tell which one is the big one. However, it doesn't matter, as long as the arrow strikes, the defenders will definitely feel the power of his arrow.

"Fifty zhang ......"

When Dayinbu was silently calculating the distance, Meng Xia was also silently calculating the distance.

At this moment, he also couldn't feel the movement around him. Everything in heaven and earth seems to have come to a complete halt. No wind, no sun, no sound, nothing. There didn't seem to be anyone else around him. All the Tartars, before his eyes, condensed into one goal.

The crosshair on the muzzle of the gun had firmly locked on the three feathers, and locked on the thick body under the three feathers. No matter how the other Tartars changed, Meng Xia's eyes only had these three feathers. The Tartar's body was very thick, which gave them the strength to fight, but it gave Meng Xia a better chance to aim.

"One Hundred and Fifty Steps......

It's in range.

Dayinbu pulled the bowstring with decisive force, and at the same time raised the bow upwards with his left hand. The thick, rusty arrows immediately raised and aimed at the defenders behind the battlements of Huangxian County. He saw one of the defenders between the battlements, holding a torch and looking to his side. The defender apparently did not perceive the danger, that a sharp arrow had been firmly locked on him. As soon as an arrow passed, he would be hit with a huge force and fall backwards directly from the battlements, carrying him a distance of at least a kilometer.

Yes, Dayimb definitely has such confidence.

Every time he attacked a city, his arrows could make the defenders suffer, causing great shock and panic to the enemy. It is precisely because of the shock and panic that the combat effectiveness of the defenders will be greatly reduced. By the time the Tartars did climb the city, they didn't have much courage or will to resist.

Even if the opponent holds a shield, he can't stop it. Because, he used a special large arrow. The weight of this kind of big arrow is more than five times that of ordinary arrowheads, and ordinary wooden shields, or rattan cards, cannot be stopped at all. The armor of the Ming army was also unstoppable.

"Forty zhang ......"

Meng Xia's index finger on his right hand pressed the trigger.

In the gap in the crosshairs, three feathered tartars are raising their curved bows.

This is the moment!

Meng Xia decisively pulled the trigger.

Unable to hear the gunshot for the time being, Meng Xia only felt that the tiger gun in his hand seemed to be slightly shocked, and the butt of the gun on his shoulder pushed him back. It was all very slight, so slight that only he could feel it. Immediately, he saw a little bit of white smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun, as if it was the kind of white smoke that the legendary youkai had when he appeared.

The three feathered tartars of the crosshairs are still very clear. The bow and arrow in the hand of the Tartar have been raised. As long as it takes a moment's effort, the opponent's bow and arrow will be shot. However, Meng Xia had a strange feeling. He felt that the opponent's bow and arrow would never have a chance to shoot again.

Dayinbu did raise his bow and was pulling the string backwards with all his might. There was still a little bit before the bowstring could be fully opened. When the time comes, as long as you gently release your fingers, the heavy arrows will roar away, bringing up a rain of blood from the defender at the head of the city, and knocking him completely behind the city wall. Yes, he has such self-confidence.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his chest was suddenly hit by something small, and it seemed that he was quietly bitten by some insect. It was a weird feeling, he had never felt it before. Involuntarily, his right hand suddenly released the bowstring, and his left hand couldn't help but tremble. As a result, the heavy arrows were shot out like this.

There is no feeling of shooting at all.

Dayinbu clearly felt that his arrow had lost its effect. Because, this arrow was fired out of control. He hadn't realized what had hit him on his body. He subconsciously looked at the armor on his chest and found that there seemed to be a small hole in it, as if he had really been bitten by some bug.

At this moment, a feeling of severe pain spread throughout Dayinbu's body. Immediately, Dayinbu felt that his body was completely out of control. It's a very strange feeling. He obviously wanted to control his body and let himself continue to shoot arrows, but his limbs no longer obeyed the command. The bow and arrow in his hand completely ignored the command and fell straight to the ground.
