Chapter 336: Never Fall for Zhang Zhun!
But around the Waijinchuan Gate, the gunfire gradually subsided.
The originally sturdy Waijinchuan Gate has become a ruin at this time. Some of the rocks were also blown down. The huge gaps, like wolf teeth, are sharp and staggered. However, the walls were still very strong, only a short part of them collapsed. Only the location of the city gate has completely collapsed.
Zhang Zhun also used two hundred and fifty pounds of black explosives here. With such a large amount of black powder, the destructive power is absolutely amazing. No matter how strong the gates were, they could not stop the power of gunpowder. Sure enough, after a loud bang, the Waijinchuan Gate, along with the nearby defenders, were all buried under the ruins.
After the successful blasting of the city gate, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, on the one hand, cleared the remnants of the enemy, and on the other hand, pursued forward. Many Ming soldiers were knocked unconscious by the powerful explosion, and it took a long time to slowly wake up. Of course, there are also people who were directly shocked to death. As for the Ming army buried under the rubble, no one knows.
"Mo Luo!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.
"Here!"
A warrior covered in fur appeared in front of Zhang Zhun.
His body is very tall, his hands and feet are thick, and there is a lot of black hair on it, and the whole person looks like a gorilla. However, it is such a gorilla, but it is very loved by the tiger army. Nothing else, this gorilla is very capable and can fight.
"Well done!"
Zhang Zhun patted the gorilla on the shoulder vigorously.
The gorilla giggled happily.
The Waijinchuan Gate was blown open by this gorilla.
Mo Luo has been a wild man since he was a child, without a father or mother, and has been fooling around in Aoshan City. Due to the large amount of food, he hardly stopped eating every day. There was nothing to eat, he even ate tree bark, grass roots. In order to be fed, he also entered Laoshan with his bare hands all day long to look for prey. As a result of spending so much time in the mountains, he gradually became a bit like a gorilla.
Other hunters, if they encounter wild wolves or the like, will avoid them with interest. Wild wolves have no meat, wolf skins are not valuable, and they are particularly ferocious, and ordinary hunters can't beat them at all. However, when Mo Luo encountered a wild wolf, he took the initiative to step forward, knocked over the wild wolf with his bare hands, and then ate the wolf meat raw. may be because he killed too many wild wolves, and he trained a good kung fu in the fight with wild wolves.
When the Tiger Army was recruiting, he also came. Due to his natural physical fitness, he passed both tests without any problems. For such a soldier, Lin Bin, who was in charge of recruitment, of course would not let go, and decisively included him in the Tiger Ben Army. After entering the barracks, this guy finally had a full meal -- he ate not a drop of the food of the six people in the army, as if he was not very full. Lin Bin immediately ordered to cook another twenty catties of rice. This time, Mo Luo was finally really full.
Later, everyone found that Mo Luo's nerves also had a slight problem. His surname is not very good. The main thing is that I am alone in the mountains for a long time and rarely talk to people, so there are communication problems. He only remembered that it was the Tiger Ben Army who took him in, gave him food, and clothed him. Therefore, he is willing to die for the Tiger Army. There is no doubt that Mo Luo is definitely a good fighter. As long as you give him an order, he will carry it out without hesitation.
Officers at all levels of the Tiger Ben Army like such soldiers who are a little stupid and stupid, but resolutely carry out orders. In addition to a large amount of food, Mo Luo also has a strong weight-bearing capacity. The average warrior carries a weight of fifty pounds, which is almost the limit. Mo Luo can carry more than 100 pounds, and he is still walking on the ground. He soon became the baby bump of the team, and Zhou Yanyu, the team leader, loves the gorillas very much. The explosives bags in the squad and the like were carried by the gorilla alone.
Zhang Zhun also quickly learned about the existence of a gorilla warrior in the army. When Brigadier Zhang handed over the blasting task to Mo Luo, he went up without saying a word. Two hundred and fifty pounds of explosives pack, it takes several people to carry it, but, for a gorilla, one person is enough. After two turns back and forth, the gorilla sent all the explosives packets up.
"Boom!"
A moment later, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the entire Waijinchuan Gate became a piece of ruins.
The outer Jinchuan gate has been opened!
At this time, Zhao Zhufeng happened to take the men and horses of Jinwu's rearguard, dragging ten cannons out of Nanjing City to come for reinforcements. At this time, Zhao Lanfeng, although hiding behind the city wall, was hit in the calf by a flying gravel, and he was bleeding on the spot, and hurriedly let his family carry him away. The surviving Jinwu avant-garde Ming army naturally retreated one after another.
The Tiger Ben Army then easily occupied the Waijinchuan Gate and officially advanced to the Jinchuan Gate.
From Jinchuan Gate to Jinchuan Gate, it is a straight Jinchuanmen Street. The one near the river is called Waijinchuanmen Street. The one that is close to the city of Nanjing is called Jinchuan Gate Street. If you are from other places, you will definitely be confused. On both sides of the street, there are flat slopes, with some trees intermittently, and most of them are grass. The slope extends to the east and is the Jinchuan River. The slope extends to the west and is the Qinhuai River.
"Speed!"
"Speed!"
"Speed!"
Zhang Youcai kept waving and shouting as he ran, asking his fighters to speed up. The team led by Zhang Youcai was the first to set foot on the ruins of the Waijinchuan Gate, and has been opening the way in front ever since. Their attack speed was very fast, leaving Zhou Yanyu and Fang He and Liu Dong's teams behind. The Ming army, which was running slowly, was cleaned up by them. Some scattered Ming troops, kneeling on the ground, raised their hands to surrender, they didn't bother to pay attention, but quickly stepped forward. Their purpose is to capture the big man of the Ming army, Zhao Lanfeng, the commander of the Jinwu avant-garde!
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a continuous loud bang.
At the same time, the ground under his feet couldn't help but tremble.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
Immediately, a strange sound was heard in the sky.
"Artillery!"
"Get down!"
Zhang Youcai hurriedly shouted.
The warriors of the Tiger Army hurriedly fell down.
I only heard the harsh sound getting closer and closer, and then something was constantly being smashed around, making all kinds of noises. Solid bullets that fell in succession landed right in the middle of them. One soldier was unfortunately hit in the calf by a solid bullet, and the lower leg was fractured on the spot, and he was temporarily unable to move.
"!"
"The enemy has artillery!"
"Spread out, everyone! Attack from different directions! ”
Zhang Youcai scolded fiercely, then calmed down and quickly arranged the actions of the troops.
The Ming army had artillery, and the price to pay for a frontal attack was relatively large. Zhang Youcai, of course, will not continue to attack from the front. However, the artillery of the Ming army could not take care of all directions, and as long as the Tiger Ben army outflanked the Ming army from different directions, the artillery of the Ming army could not play a role. Ten Franc machine guns, say no more, say no less, in the face of scattered attack teams, using solid bullets to fire, the effect is basically negligible.
Of course, the Ming army will definitely use weapons such as grapeshot bullets or chain bullets. However, in the face of scattered attack teams, the power of grapeshothulet and chain bullets must also be greatly weakened. Besides, if the Franc machine gun uses grapeshot shells, the range may not be much stronger than that of the Tiger Gun. A few hundred Tiger Guns against ten pieces of artillery, the artillery will definitely not be able to please them.
After Zhang Zhun came up, he was quite satisfied with Zhang Youcai's deployment. This fully shows that the grassroots commanders of the Tiger Ben Army, in the face of sudden changes, no longer need to ask for instructions, do not need to think carefully, and the conditioned reflex can make the most appropriate response. For a strong army, grassroots commanders must have such a level.
"Spread out!"
"Attack from different directions!"
"Commanders of each unit, determine the way of attack for yourself!"
Zhang Zhun confirmed the location of the Ming army's artillery through the clairvoyant mirror, and then issued an order coldly.
The ten artillery pieces of the Ming army were lined up, aiming at the main road. If the Tiger Army continued to attack the main road, it would definitely be hit by enemy shells. In fact, it is not very difficult to attack head-on and take down this Ming army. After all, the other side is ten artillery pieces, and it is simply not possible to completely block the entire road. However, Zhang Zhun did not want his troops to suffer unnecessary casualties.
As a result, all the Tiger Ben soldiers scattered one after another. Zhou Yanyu led his team and launched an attack from the west. Fang He led his team and attacked from the big cave in the east. Liu Dong led his team and advanced from the front, pulling the team very scattered.
As for the individual snipers, as well as the various sniper groups, it all depends on their preferences. They go in whichever direction they think is better. The terrain near Waijinchuanmen Street is still relatively flat, and the Tiger Ben army of less than 300 people is scattered among them, and soon there will be no shadow.
"Adult ......"
Zhang Haibin asked with some hesitation.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Zhun said casually.
"Your Majesty, your troops are all scattered......
Zhang Haibin was a little puzzled.
In this era, warfare focused on concentrating troops. Especially in this relatively flat terrain, it is even more important to concentrate all the forces and then advance towards the enemy as a whole. Even if not all of them are gathered together, most of them must be gathered together! Otherwise, the power of the musket will not be exerted at all. It seems that Zhang Zhun is like this, scattering all the teams, how can this battle be fought?
"Hehe, it's okay, you'll find out in a moment."
Zhang Zhun still said lightly.
"Yes!"
Zhang Haibin stopped talking.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Soon, sporadic gunshots continued to ring.
Subsequently, the gunfire became more and more intense, and it seemed that the troops approaching from different directions were engaged in the Ming army. Zhang Haibin stretched his ears hard, trying to discern which side was shooting, but as a result, unfortunately, he couldn't tell the difference at all. The gunfire was just too dense. He listened carefully for a long time, and there was only one judgment, that is, the front had been beaten into a pot of porridge.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Zhao Zhufeng shouted viciously.
With a cannon in hand, he is not afraid of Zhang Zhun coming up at all. He even wished that Zhang Zhun would come up immediately. He even shouted fiercely in his heart, Zhang Zhun, you have the ability, just rush up. However, to his disappointment, Zhang Zhun's troops did not rush up from the front. Even, from the front, he couldn't see the shadow of a Tiger Ben soldier at all. Instead, gunfire came from around his troops.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The constant sound of gunfire seemed a little monotonous and a little withering.
However, the strange thing is that the gunfire of the Tiger Army was very monotonous and withered, but the Ming Army fell one after another. The rest of the Ming army, as if shrouded in nameless fear, hurriedly fired in all directions. However, on the surrounding slopes, it is difficult to find the shadow of the Tiger Army. Occasionally seeing one or two active ones, they quickly disappeared again. The arquebuses of the Ming army, as well as the big spray guns, constantly shot around, and the table tennis was lively. It's just that even Zhao Zhufeng is a little skeptical about whether or not he has achieved results.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Whenever the guns of the Ming army fell down, those strange tiger soldiers would suddenly appear. Every time they appeared, the only action they had to do was to shoot at the Ming army. After a shot, they quickly vanished. The Ming army fired at the position where they had just appeared, but found nothing. Just when the Ming army was helpless, a gunshot rang out, and the other party appeared in other positions.
The Ming army was given a headache by the cold guns of the Tiger Army. One hundred households really couldn't stand such an attack, so they sent a dozen musketeers to slowly search in the direction where the Tiger Ben Army appeared. From different directions, they outflanked the target's location, trying to surround each other and take them out. As a result, the search team had just been dispatched, and the gunfire of the Tiger Army suddenly became dense, as if several people were shooting at the same time. In the sound of gunfire, the search team of the Ming army kept falling. The search team of more than a dozen people was all defeated before they could get out of the twenty-foot process. The remaining Ming troops were taken aback and did not dare to go out to search anymore.
"What's going on?"
"What the hell is Zhang Zhun going to do?"
"How are these people of his mess?"
Zhao Zhufeng suddenly frowned.
Zhang Zhun's troops did not rush up, but seemed to be stragglers, shooting one shot in the east and one shot in the west, what did they want to do? Could it be that he thinks that relying on such a few people can deal with himself? There are more than 1,000 of them! More than 1,000 people! If you shoot one shot in the east and one shot in the west, even if I am beaten by you while standing, you will have to fight for a long time!
"Let's fight!"
"You just fight!"
"See how long you can fight!"
Zhao Zhufeng muttered to himself viciously.
Therefore, he did not change his formation, still with the cannon in front and the gun in the back, facing the road ahead. The combat contingent of the Ming army is still dense. He believed that the gunfire around him was all a suspicious tactic by Zhang Zhun to attack the west, just to divert the direction of his cannon's fire. If he ordered the cannon to turn around and attack the other Tiger Army, the main force of Zhang Zhun would suddenly plug in from the front and rush towards him.
"That's right, Zhang Zhun must be like this!"
"I can't fall for him!"
Zhao Zhufeng repeatedly admonished himself.
