Chapter 734: Cover

Han Kaihui entered the low wall, his eyes wandered around, nodded, obviously satisfied with the defense inside the low wall, and then he looked at the opposite hill with a solemn expression. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The new army Yang Qian always stood on his right, looking at the crowd of black pressure opposite, his fists slowly clenched, released, clenched, and released, and finally he said firmly: "Although there are many thieves, we will still win a big victory today!" ”

The battalion soldier standing on the left side of Han Kaihui snorted, his expression was as firm, but the hand on the low wall couldn't help but tremble.

The crowd-like barricade team approached the ditch as it approached, a thunderous roar sounded, thick smoke billowed on the hill, and the artillery on this side opened fire again, and streams of smoke and dust rose on the opposite hill, carrying some dirt and blood mist.

However, the two ends of the ditch on the side of No. 5 were far away, the distance was more than two miles, and the artillery could not be bombarded, and the thieves calmly reorganized their troops on the opposite side of the hill, and then entered the road below in a steady stream of noise, and entered the plateau on both sides of the road.

The road and the table were widened, and they seemed to be very fast, Han Kaihui paid close attention, and he saw that the thieves had set up ten formations on the table, and these formations started from the middle slope, and there were five on each side of the road, and each formation was about a thousand people.

Han Kaihui held the clairvoyant mirror and looked closely, there were thieves and foot soldiers on each table, and there seemed to be more foot soldiers. And at least half of the foot soldiers were archers, firearmsmen, the rest of the sword and shield hands, and some cold weapons hands, some of whom seemed to still have iron hooks or something in their hands.

Most of the hungry carried dirt bags, some carried short ladders and planks, and most of them had no weapons in their hands.

Apparently the thieves have learned their lesson, throwing more ranged forces into suppressing their own firepower, and then using the hungry people as human shields. The sword and shield soldiers are in formation, waiting for the opportunity to break through.

Han Kaihui saw that the number of people in the bottom two formations was thicker, and there were more archers and firearms in the middle, obviously to prevent his own side from chasing them up the hill after the rout.

Han Kaihui put down the clairvoyant mirror suddenly: "The thieves are not good at coming this time, and our tactics need to be adjusted." Later, at my command, if the thieves use the hungry people as shields, they will shoot them with their bows and arrows, and when the thieves' foot soldiers rush up, they will shoot them with birds, and the arrows will cover the enemy archers. If the thief's foot soldier rushes to the front, the bird is weak, and bombards it with a three-eyed gun, and finally uses ten thousand enemies. ”

Mr. Yang Qian and Mr. Gao Guerrilla did not see clearly without Han Kaihui. However, he also vaguely saw some arrangements on the opposite side, and when he heard Han Kaihui say this, he hurriedly passed on his words.

The crowd on the opposite side became denser and denser, and after another quarter of an hour, suddenly the sound of trumpets and drums came from the opposite side, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be silent, and then the noise was loud, and a thief on the table began to leave the position. Coming down from the road between the hills, the remaining nine bandits still did not move.

Han Kaihui looked at it in a clairing mirror. This wave of thieves is estimated to be about a thousand people, with foot thieves at both ends, and the hungry people are sandwiched in the middle, and they are relatively silent when they come down from the road, not as earth-shattering as the day before, but they are just as stressful.

He looked to the rest. In addition to the thieves opposite No. 5, in the sound of trumpets and drums, there was a steady stream of thieves coming down from the slopes everywhere, even if they compressed their troops, the surging crowd rolling down was still staggering.

He looked across again. The bandwagon still descended the mountain road, which was quicker and thicker because of the widening of the road.

In the clairvoyant mirror, these people are dressed in yellow, and they are still soldiers and horses in the rear camp of the thieves, most of them are wearing red tasseled felt hats, and they are wearing cloth yellow armor cornet clothing, and the number is on the number on the uniform. There is a banner of the brigade behind the team, which is equivalent to the thousand generals in the Ming army, and it seems that the thieves have indeed made a capital for today's attack.

Soon they went down to the bottom of the ditch, and then one by one, in the dust and footsteps, they crossed the ditch.

Surprisingly, they no longer rushed up straight, but were bent on their waists, tiptoeing, and taking great care to cover themselves by the small slopes of earth cliffs of varying heights throughout the slope. And after about seventy paces from the low wall, he stopped, and the cat leaned and spread out along the path to the slopes on both sides.

As more people came up, the more people spread out on both sides, and some of them continued to bend their waists under the cover of the terrain, and touched the second ladder cliff more than a hundred steps behind the first low wall, and also stopped sixty or seventy paces away from the low wall.

Han Kaihui watched their movements, the thieves were really much smarter, in fact, they had been fighting in the camp all year round, and it was difficult to say strategically, but they were indeed unique in terms of tactical cognition.

The defenders snuggled behind the low wall, looking at the thieves on the slope below, nervously waiting for the order of the superior.

Han Kaihui watched the thieves dozens of paces away constantly shouting and arranging, and after many foot soldiers scattered all over the slope, some hungry people carrying dirt bags were pushed up from the back of the road.

The hungry people were nervous, and they were followed by some overseer swordsmen and shieldmen, who roared as they drove them forward. And it seems to have made some promises, such as those who fight to the death and do not flee, and if they survive, they can become pawns like them.

Those hungry people were instigated, and there was no way to retreat, and their expressions became distorted and hideous, Han Kaihui sighed in his heart, they were ordinary people, but they were coerced by thieves.

He said, "Attention, archers!" ”

"Archers ready!"

Gao Guerrilla hurriedly passed on his words.

Behind the first low wall, there were more than 50 battalion archers, more than 100 rocketeers, and immediately 50 archer rocketeers stepped forward, and the archers took arrows and put them on the bows, and the rocketeers lit the fire rope tied to the front of the palladium, and also took out the rockets from the quiver and put them between the palladium strands.

The thieves below seemed to have finished arranging, and suddenly they shouted, and they saw a crowd of hungry people rushing up from the road, carrying dirt bags, and rushing in teams after teams, and they roared and rushed straight at the trench in front of the low wall.

Seeing these low-level hungry soldiers rushing up in a daze, Han Kaihui shook his head, and he said in a deep voice: "Prepare ......"

The archers on the first floor slowly pulled their bows apart, the tires crunched, and the rocketeers also aimed at the enemy, slowly pulling the arrows back, the palladium slowly moving forward, and the lead fuse getting closer and closer to the arquebus.

The hungry people were still screaming and rushing, and soon they were forty paces.

"Put!"

The vibration of a bowstring and the roar of rockets brought more than twenty hungry people to the ground, some of whom rolled straight down the slope.

The first layer of archers stepped back. The second floor stepped forward.

"Put!"

Nearly 30 more hungry people howled, and one hungry man was shot in the face, and he covered his face and screamed loudly.

Third-tier archers fired another volley, and more hungry people rolled down the road, up the slopes, in a scream that tore through the air. One of the Hungry Soldier was shot off by a rocket with a pyrotechnic trail, and he flew two meters in mid-air before tumbling down the slope.

Except for the slightly poor rate of fire and some unsatisfactory accuracy, the rocket has no other problems, especially unlike the archers who need to train for several years.

If the gunpowder has a strong propulsion, then even less a force.

"Archer Free Fire ......"

Suddenly there was a shout from below, and the dense rogue archers on the slope stood up, and they shot straight ahead. Thrown from behind, a string of arrows roared with the sound of the bowstring.

A muffled snort sounded, and some of the defenders behind the low wall were injured, although that side was a little far from this side, and the thieves rarely had strong bows, but the armor rate of the officers and soldiers in the hinterland was not high, especially the equipment rate of iron armor was not high. Enemy arrows are a threat to them, whether they are fired directly or projectile.

The thief shot a few quick rounds. As the arrows poured down, the frequency of the archers behind the low wall was greatly reduced, and the hungry soldiers carrying the planks of the short ladder took the opportunity to step forward, and some of the rogues sword and shield men also followed behind the hungry soldiers, holding their shields and began to approach.

"Watch out for concealment, big rockets. Crush them down with the archers, and the musketeers prepare! ”

Han Kaihui slapped an arrow that fell on his head and commanded in a loud voice, he saw that the battalion soldiers behind the low wall were a little flustered, but those new troops were quite calm. Even if someone is hit by an arrow, they clench their teeth and don't make a sound.

Some healers and assistants appeared and carried the wounded away to heal them, while the new army gunners began to erect their birds on the low wall.

Relying on the flesh shields of the hungry people in front and the cover of the archers in the rear, more and more thieves and shields forced them to cut down the hungry people who ran away without throwing their dirt bags into the trenches.

Their archers also rose from the slope and began to approach the cover, and they continued to shoot arrows at the low wall, and the slope was filled with a scream that pierced the air.

In the midst of the flying arrows, a series of dazzling fires suddenly burst out on the low wall, and large puffs of thick white smoke rose up, and in the whistling sound, sharp arrows with fireworks trails screamed out from behind the low wall, and they roared in the air, dragging their long white tails, and slashed their heads and faces towards the rogue archers on the slope.

But it was the defenders behind the low wall who lit a swarm of bees, fire dragon arrows and other large rockets, these rockets are thirty rounds in a dozen shots, even if the rogue archers below are multiples of the defenders, but the defenders behind the low wall only ignited ten rockets, and the situation turned around immediately.

The whining and whistling sound continued, and the defenders behind the low wall immediately launched two **** rockets, one by one the rockets drilled out of the quiver, they carried flames and light smoke, constantly slashing into the sky, and the white smoke visible to the naked eye quickly covered the range of this low wall.

In just a few moments, they fired thousands of arrows, although they were not direct shots, but under the impetus of gunpowder, these rockets were still equivalent to the projectile power of strong bows and heavy arrows, and the dense arrows fell on their heads, and the rogue archers on the slope screamed, and from time to time someone was shot and rolled down the slope.

Seeing that the thief archer was suppressed at once, Han Kaihui nodded secretly, the power of the rocket is good, and the special coverage is very good, but it is a pity that the arrow is not easy to make, and the consumption is too great, although there are still a lot of rockets on the defense line, but the war cannot end in one or two days, and it must be saved.

The rogue archers were in disarray, but taking advantage of the previous opportunity, the hungry soldiers carrying the planks of the short ladder and the foot soldiers who followed behind had already approached. Because of the suppression of the rogue archers before, many hungry people rushed to the low wall and threw the dirt bags they were carrying into the trenches.

"Gunners ready!"

Han Kaihui didn't care about these hungry people, he only looked at the hungry soldiers carrying the short ladder planks, and the foot soldiers who followed them. Some arrows also fell on them from the previous rocket cover, but the thieves were all holding shields, and the rockets did not pose a threat to them.

"Ready!"

Seeing that those hungry soldiers were getting closer and closer, they suddenly let out a shout, shouting and rushing up, Han Kaihui said sharply: "Release!" ”

The guns behind the low wall fired a fierce volley, and a torrent of gunpowder smoke erupted from the muzzle...... (To be continued.) )
