Chapter 799: Where Did You Come From And Where Did You Go Back (23)
As more and more people filled the moat, the section of the moat outside the southern wall was gradually filled up at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
However, there are also some people who are too flexible. Afraid of being killed by the cold arrows fired from time to time in the ruins, he quietly threw the sack on the ground halfway, and then ran back to get the silver. But he didn't care at all about the gendarmes in the rear with binoculars and cold faces!
People like this don't know whether they are alive or dead, and as soon as they come back, they are arrested by the black-faced gendarmes. After loudly announcing their guilt in public, their heads were cut off on the spot.
On the battlefield, everything is simple. Whoever dares to disobey military orders must be a dead word. If you don't kill these fools, then everyone will do the same, and who is going to risk their lives to fill the moat?
It's kind of a guy who deserves to be unlucky. In fact, the resistance of the Manchu soldiers was not very strong, and very few people were actually killed by cold arrows. Originally, they could have done the hard work smoothly and earned the reward they deserved. But he wanted to use his own cleverness to take advantage, but in the end he delayed his life.
With the tactical level of this era, it is not possible to fight such a difficult tactic as street fighting.
In general siege battles, after the city wall is breached, it is equivalent to being breached. The blow to the morale of the defenders was terrifying. The walls are really broken, and most people should start thinking about how to escape.
Therefore, after learning the news that the Ming army had begun to fill the moat on the side of the southern city wall. Anxious, Dorgon immediately sent elite reinforcements to support, trying to hold the walls. Even if that wall is now in ruins.
More than 3,000 elite reinforcements ran quickly along the wide tic-tac-toe avenue in Shenyang City towards the southern city wall like a raging tide.
These people are all full of elite people armed with bird's beak guns. It's just that these soldiers who are marching in a hurry don't notice that there is an unmanned reconnaissance plane above their heads that has been silently monitoring the entire Shenyang City.
All the Napoleonic guns equipped by the Ming army at this time were precision products produced in modern time and space, using advanced equipment and raw materials. As for the replica artillery of this plane, it will not be until at least next year before it leaves the factory. And the quality performance is far from being comparable to that brought by Gaoyang.
These time-spanning artifacts have a long range. Powerful and precise. After receiving timely information communication. These Napoleonic cannons quickly raised the elevation angle, when the Manchu reinforcements arrived near the southern city wall. It was a shelling.
That is, the Ming army now uses solid bullets, and the lethality is average when dealing with non-dense formations. If you use a new type of flowering bullet with iron nail fragments embedded in it. Then this wave of Manchu reinforcements will have at least nearly half of the casualties!
Even so, this sudden and heavy artillery bombardment fell. Not to mention the loss of more than 100 of this wave of Manchu reinforcements, the morale of the army was also suddenly setback.
A bearded man, with a pale blue in his eyes, and a bird's beak in his hand, cow Lu Zhangjing huddled behind a bombed house. After spitting heavily on the ground, he stared at the ruins of the city wall not far away. smashed his fist on the ground, and shouted viciously, "Damn, how did those Ming soldiers see us?" This cannon is also evil. ”
Several of his subordinates who were hiding with him responded in unison. The Ming army's shells were like eyes and swooped straight at them with a sharp whistling sound. The frightened Manchu soldiers were all cautious. It doesn't matter who you are, how many layers of armor you're wearing. Whoever touches it dies!
The cow with an extremely thick neck stretched his neck to look in the direction of the city wall, and opened his mouth when he was about to say something. In the middle of the air, there was a high-pitched, terrifying sound that was between a whistle and a whistle.
The Niu Lu Zhang Jing immediately swallowed back the words on his lips, and fell to the ground with a side pounce, holding his head with both hands. The sergeants beside him did the same. The reaction is really more sensitive than the other.
It is said that war is the best teacher. After suffering from the constant saturation of the Ming army in these days, many Manchu soldiers taught the survivors with their lives and blood how to deal with this soul-seeking artillery attack.
The easiest way to do this is to fall directly on the ground, if only there was a pit next to it. After hiding, the rest is up to God. If you can be hit by a solid bullet in the jumping pit, it can only be said that your life is not good.
Another round of shelling passed. Many solid shells bounced off the ground and bounced off after slamming away from the ground before crashing into something before they unwillingly stopped.
Several houses that had already been blown up were shot again. Flying debris scattered like heavy rain on the surrounding area, enveloping the Manchu soldiers who were hiding nearby. After a few screams. This round of shelling ended. The soldiers who were hit by the flying debris far outnumbered those who were directly hit. For the Manchu soldiers who did not have antibiotics, the result was the same.
After the shelling ended, a shrill horn sound came from behind the Niu Lu Zhangjing. Several sergeants hiding here looked at each other. Holding back the fear in his heart, he gritted his teeth, shouted, stood up and rushed towards the city wall.
When these Manchu soldiers climbed up to the high point along the ruins of the city wall. I was immediately stunned by what I saw.
Looking beyond the collapsed city wall, the other side of the moat outside was already a crowded scene. Thousands of Ming men wearing green military coats and velvet hats on their heads shouted, sweating like rain, carrying bags of woven bags full of sand and running back and forth between the moat and the Ming army camp. The scene is as magnificent as the migration of wildebeest on the African savannah.
The moat, which was originally more than ten zhang wide, was now facing the southern gate, and the section of the original south gate had been filled with dense earth bags. It doesn't seem to be long before this section will be completely filled.
At the urging of the Zhenghuang Banner Baya Lazhangjing, the Manchu sergeants who came to reinforce quickly came to their senses. They all raised their beak guns in their hands.
Fill the marbles and apply gunpowder. Hang the fire rope. Before these firearms could be touched, the Manchu sergeants had only been in possession for a few months, and had completed all these preparations. They were horrified to see that several heavily formed Ming army columns outside the moat had raised their muskets. And the direction in which the musket was aimed. Here they are!
"Bang bang bang ~~~" These ten shots were all within the ninety rings during the recruit training period, and this time they were specially selected to form a team to do cover shooting Ming army sharpshooters. Very calmly, outside the range of those Manchu sergeants, one by one, they put down those Manchu sergeants who dared to show their heads to the ground.
The dense rain of bullets soon dyed the ruined southern wall a shade of crimson. From time to time, Manchu sergeants who had been killed and wounded rolled down from the top of the ruins, howling and rolling down.
"Get out! Get out!! "Ordered to lead the reinforcements of the Zhenghuang Banner Baya Lazhang Jing Hesheri. Sonny desperately waved the shiny sword in his hand, and tried his best to urge the soldiers who were lying on the ground and did not dare to show their heads to stop the people who were filling the river.
By this time, the outer moat had been filled in more and more. At this rate, you don't have to wait until it gets dark for those fierce Ming troops to cross the river!
"Poof!" With a bang, Sony, who had already had red eyes, waved the war knife in his hand. cut off the head of a soldier who was scared by the fierce fire of the Ming army, who was sitting on the ground trembling and howling violently. Blood from the high pressure immediately shot out from the neck cavity, wetting half of Sony's body.
"Get out! All out!! Sony, with a hideous face like a ghost, waved the war knife in his hand again and again, and cut off the heads of three soldiers in one breath!
The Manchu soldiers who were lying on the ground finally moved. He crawled to the top of the ruins of the city walls, poked his head out and looked out, and stretched out his beak to shoot at the dry and hot people.
It's not that they don't want to attack the Ming army, which is obviously more threatening, and is responsible for covering. It's that the range of the firearms in their hands can't reach that far at all.
A series of crisp shotguns rang out, and more than a dozen people who filled the river immediately fell to the ground screaming. A few people even got closer to the river, and even fell directly into the moat. The momentum of the people was in full swing and suddenly stagnated.
The Ming army in charge of covering soon discovered the situation, and the dense rain of bullets immediately shot over.
It's just that this time, most of the Manchu sergeants were prostrate on the ruins, but they inadvertently reduced their own bomb area.
Even if those Ming sharpshooters were like gods, they didn't use sniper rifles with sights after all. Moreover, it is also a little far away in terms of distance, and at this moment, a large amount of gunpowder smoke was generated on the battlefield because of the shooting of firearms, which caused the entire battlefield to be filled with smoke, which greatly affected the line of sight. The cover wasn't very good.
The Manchu soldiers soon found out about the situation. The morale that had already fallen to the bottom suddenly rose a little. More and more people crawled over and shot, and the losses of the people began to skyrocket.
"Huh?" Gao Yang, who was observing the battlefield attentively, sighed lightly and adjusted the telescope in his hand. After carefully observing the situation over there, he pursed the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice, "It's really interesting, and I learned quite quickly." ”
"After all, it's a life-and-death battlefield. Anyone will learn everything that can save their lives quickly. Those who can't learn, or those who learn slowly, are all dead. Origin said with a smile.
Gao Yang put down the binoculars in his hand and raised his head to look at the huge, bright red handsome flag behind him that was hunting and fluttering in the wind. Slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and ordered the guards on the side: "Order the artillery to concentrate fire on that section." Hold them down. ”
"Order!" The young guard bowed, took the token handed by Gao Yang, turned around and rode his horse in the direction of the artillery position.
Over time, these well-behaved people on the plane began to gradually replace the role of cyborg warriors in the field. (To be continued)
