The Ming army was getting closer and closer to Lü Yan's camp, and soon they were within range of the general's cannon and the Franc machine gun. [][]. [].]

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……”

Those general cannons and Franc machine guns opened fire one after another, and the formation of the Ming army was quite dense, and it was almost impossible to hit without aiming.

The whistling shells slammed into the shield-wielding Ming soldiers in the front row, smashing them to the point of spitting blood and dying.

These shells were castrated, and they still kept rolling backwards, killing one Ming army after another, until they completely lost their kinetic energy.

Many of the Ming soldiers were pale when they saw the Ming soldiers who were killed by shells around them, but they were also the elite of the Ming army, and they resisted their fear and accelerated forward.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a group of rebels, as long as you rush in and kill a random person, it's 20 taels of silver, and if you can hack five to death, you can be promoted."

The military attaché beside them puffed desperately.

Hearing this, the soldiers' eyes turned red with excitement.

It was not easy to be a small soldier in these years, not only the quality of the weapons issued was very poor, but also the military salary was always deducted.

Under normal circumstances, a small soldier can receive one or two pieces of silver a month, which can simply burn high incense.

But now that you can get 20 taels of silver for hacking one person to death, everyone is very excited.

So those Ming troops accelerated and rushed forward.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……”

The general cannon and the Franc cannon were quickly fired again, and they were loaded with ammunition in a sub-gun, so they fired extremely quickly.

This time they fired shotguns, and the dense rain of bullets almost swept away the Ming troops in the front row.

The Ming army behind felt as if a blood mist had formed in front of them, and when they opened their eyes, their faces were already covered with blood.

These are the blood that was splashed on the body of the soldier in front after being hit by shrapnel.

Some of the Ming soldiers trembled and touched the blood on their faces, and found that their entire palms had turned bloody.

Seeing this, many Ming troops were terrified.

"Rush! Rush them all! Throw the dirt into the trench! ”

Those Ming generals all shouted loudly.

Morale can be boosted, and the only way to overcome fear is to let them charge.

Some of the Ming troops who were resisting the mud bags immediately gritted their teeth and began to charge, and they let out angry roars.

It's as if that's the only way to cheer yourself up.

The other soldiers followed closely behind them.

The enemy's outermost trenches were also within a hundred paces, and they were all within range of the firearms.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

“……”

Those Qi family gunners fired first.

With the sound of a dense firecracker, a large number of projectiles roared up, and then hit those Ming soldiers.

Some of the Ming soldiers fell down screaming, but soon the Ming troops from behind rushed up, and then continued to resist the mud bags.

Running to the front of the trench, they threw the mud bags in front of the trench with all their might.

The Ming army's musketeers also came into range, and they shot at Lu Yan's men one after another.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

“……”

The dense sound of fire firing was endless.

But their lead pellets either didn't hit the soldiers, or they hit the earthen wall in front of them, and very few of them hit them.

It was at this time that the artillery opened fire again.

The dense rain of bullets once again almost wiped out the Ming army in front.

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi's face became extremely gloomy.

Protecting short guns with long cannons and protecting fire guns with short cannons is really a perfect defense system.

At this time, he understood where Lu Yan's confidence was.

The core of this defense system lies in the artillery, and it is precisely because of the presence of those artillery that the fortifications of the enemy's camp do not look strong, but they lead to extremely heavy casualties of the Ming army.

Even those Ming troops did not have the opportunity to shoot at the enemy on the opposite side.

It seems that if you don't die a few thousand people, you don't even want to attack the enemy camp.

Thinking of this, he sighed, and then he focused his attention on the gates of those camps, which were the focus of the Ming army's attack and the enemy's defense.

The enemy has the most dense artillery deployment here, especially the Franco cannon and the general's cannon are extremely dense.

All the artillery that tried to rely on it was not cleared by the condescending Hongyi cannons.

Those Franc machine guns and general guns were also divided into two parts, and they took turns to shell the attacking Ming army.

As a result, the attacking Ming army was hit by the enemy's dense Franc machine and the general's artillery and suffered heavy losses.

Often before they could reach the range of the firearms, more than half of the Ming army died.

Then they have to face off against the enemy's crossbowmen, who are so powerful that they not only have a far longer range than firebolts, but also have extremely penetrating power.

The enemy had six platoons of strong crossbowmen and one platoon of heavily shielded soldiers there.

A dense protective net of arrow rain was formed, and anyone who intended to approach was shot into a hedgehog by those arrow rain.

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help frowning.

It seems that the enemy is quite difficult to provoke, should he continue to order the soldiers to attack?

Soon the war between the two sides entered an extremely fierce stalemate.

Those Xibei goods that Xiong Tingbi engaged in have been cleared by the Hongyi cannon one by one.

In this world, wars rely on strength after all, and although these conspiracies and tricks can achieve some results, they are still not elegant in the end.

Soon those Hongyi cannons opened fire on the Ming army with all their might, although their rate of fire was very slow, but its caliber was large, it contained a lot of ammunition, and the blockade area was also very wide, and every shot was enough to inflict incomparably heavy casualties on the Ming army.

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi's face was already as black as charcoal.

He knew he couldn't go on like this, or else the attack would have to be repulsed.

"Which of you would like to lead the cavalry to charge."

Xiong Tingbi said to those border army generals.

Those border generals, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, no one speaks.

They originally thought that Lu Yan's army would not be strong even if it was strong, and that it was able to win many battles entirely because the officers and soldiers in the interior were too weak.

But now it seems that it is completely wrong, at least so many artillery, so many firearms, I am afraid that even the border army cannot compare.

If you want to break through such a tight firepower network, it is simply impossible not to kill a thousand people.

"Whoever can lead the troops to rush to the enemy camp will be promoted to the next level."

Xiong Tingbi said again.

Hearing this, a general's eyes lit up, and then he stood up and said, "The last general is willing to go." ”

"Okay, then prepare, once this wave of soldiers is gone, you will lead your troops to storm the west gate of the enemy's camp. In addition, I will bring two more battalions to the west, and this time we will focus on the west. ”

Xiong Tingbi said.

He observed the battlefield and found that the flat land near the Zhaimen in the west was the longest, about 40 zhang, which was the most suitable for a key breakthrough.

The general agreed, and soon went to dispatch his troops.

On the high platform in the camp, Lu Yan felt that his mood was finally much more relaxed.

At this moment, artillery once again showed its demeanor as the god of war.

The lack of artillery support became the only support of the Ming army, and it was also the most fatal shortcoming.

This shortcoming alone was enough to make the Ming army suffer heavy losses and return in vain.

Presumably, Xiong Tingbi must have been worried about how to break through his camp at this time.

At this time, he also discovered the movement of the enemy's cavalry, and it seems that the enemy still does not give up.

"Now you can send a signal, and when this attack fails, the enemy should temporarily withdraw and think of another way."

At this time, Jia Xu said to him.

Lu Yan nodded, after so many deaths, the enemy should be about to be unbearable.

So he ordered the flares to be fired.

Soon several rockets took off into the air and flew into the sky.

Then there was an explosion in the sky, emitting a brilliant red light that could be easily seen from more than a dozen miles away.

Seeing this, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but feel very puzzled.

What is the enemy trying to do?
