Volume 1 Beacon Creep Chapter 508 Charge

The two sides fought against each other's guns, and each other's artillery also participated in the battle at the same time, and Zhao Zaoji ordered the artillery to be sandwiched between the various columns, at least three guns in each place, and more than 160 artillery pieces in the artillery battalion, which were divided into dozens of groups.

These gunners, risking their lives, constantly bombarded each other, greatly supporting the gunners.

Next to a thick and dense locust tree, there were four Franc machines and Hongyi cannons, the four cannons were mixed, and they took turns bombarding, and a Hongyi six-pounder cannon had already fired shotguns, and in the pungent white smoke, several gunners were nervously reloading ammunition again.

They quickly sent silk pill packets, inserted goose feather tubes into the fire door, and a gunner shoved a double-portion, woodchip-bound shotgun shell into the muzzle, and then the bombardier pushed it into the chamber with all his might.

When firing shotguns, they do not need the angle of the barrel of the nuclear gun, the range of the target, etc., and only the muzzle of the gun is pointed straight ahead, which saves them a lot of steps.

While they were busy, the rest of the artillery was fired one after another!

Rumble!

There was another loud bang, a large puff of smoke rose up, and a Franc cannon roared out at least a hundred thick projectiles in the opposite direction.

The field overgrown with wild flowers and weeds on the opposite side was covered with smoke and dust, grass clippings and mud were flying, and more than a dozen Han soldiers, and even some swords, shields, and spearmen who were far behind, made indescribable painful sounds, rolling and howling back and forth on the ground.

Many of them had huge blood holes on their cotton armor, and some even had their heads and faces beaten into meat sauce on the spot.

The power of the shotgun is already fierce, not to mention the improved Jingbian Army shotgun.

Then this Franc cannon, and another Hongyi three-pounder cannon roared, and the dense projectiles rushed towards the other party, and countless blood mist exploded.

After a round of four artillery pieces, there were very few Han soldiers still standing on the opposite side, and even the cold weapons of the Han army in the rear were a large number less.

"Forward!"

An officer commanding the four guns shouted, and the four guns, which had been reloaded with ammunition, pushed forward with great difficulty.

The Han soldiers on the opposite side, under the roar of the officer, had no choice but to move towards the gap, but looking at the black and heavy artillery forced in the smoke of gunpowder, they all looked like ashes, and many people's bodies couldn't help but tremble.

Some people, even some gunmen at both ends of the gun, ignored the orders of the superiors, turned the gun, and bombarded them.

Some of them then fell under the guns of the Jingbian army on the opposite side, but some of them had already pulled their own boards.

The target was unclear in the smoke, but a few gunners still fell in pain, and then some of the camp apprentices behind the array quickly filled their positions.

The officer was shot in the lower abdomen, and the huge impact of the bullet made him staggered backwards and fell to the ground, and the intense pain after being shot made him instantly burst into beads of sweat on his forehead, but he still sat on the ground and yelled: "Push ...... Push forward, and hit the ...... where they are crowded."

Boom!

The four cannons roared in turn, howling and confusion, blood mist flew, and a large number of people on the opposite side rolled to the ground in pain.

These four artillery pieces once again swept away the opponent's array.

A Han army was separated from the queue, a bronze six-pounder cannon poked out of the muzzle of the black hole, the cannon body has the emblem of a big shield and sail, but it is a cannon produced by the Franco Ji Bugarao Gun Factory, after Kong Youde captured Dengzhou, a large number of new artillery and artillery including this artillery were brought to the Qing State.

With a loud bang, in the thick smoke rising from a large puff of air, a large wave of shotgun projectiles instantly rushed to the Jingbian army array opposite, with minced meat in the blood mist, and more than a dozen gunners here, as well as pikemen, also let out an irrepressible scream, and fell to the ground and rolled in pain.

Bang!

An eagle cannon burst out with thick fire, and several gunners of that artillery gun covered their heads and faces in pain, and the shotgun of the eagle cannon shot their bodies into a bloody blur, and even half of the head of a gunner was lifted off, and slimy brains flowed all over the ground.

However, after those Han gunners finished firing their guns, they wanted to hide behind the array, or with the help of the cover of the gunning array, a Jingbian army marksman and his deputy arrived, and they quickly set up a triangular bracket and aimed at them and fired a shot.

As skirmishers, most of them deal with the opponent's gunners and officers, or drill when they see a vacancy, and whenever they appear, the Jingbian army brothers next to them will consciously give up some positions for them.

It's just that the artillery of the two Tartars is very cunning, or rather timid, they generally hide behind the array, and then sneakily push up, and at this time the smoke is full, and it is not easy to find their position.

The range of shotguns was relatively short, and there were hundreds of heavy guns of the Qing army in Yijialing, of course, it was impossible to fire shotguns, so the Han army participated in the battle with less than 50 small guns, which was a disadvantage in terms of quantity.

In the past, those gunners generally fired from a distance, and rarely had the courage to fight in close combat, and sometimes before they could push the artillery up, the gunners in front of them would fall with the platoon, and they immediately hesitated and did not dare to step forward.

It is that there is the courage to push it, in front of the gun, at the moment of life and death, many people are in a hurry, and the reloading is chaotic.

They were also taken care of by the sharpshooters of the Jingbian Army, such as flint and reluctant, or eagle-raised cannons, and the nine-headed birds, and they did not have the courage to approach the battle, because of the heat dissipation problem, they generally only had the opportunity to fire three cannons, and their firepower was congenitally insufficient.

They were also dealt with by the grenadiers of the baggage battalion, who were bold and brave in battle.

Another Han three-pounder cannon fired a cannon, and just as they were reloading again in fear, behind the gap in the Jingbian army here, several baggage bombardiers rushed up with a howl, each holding a lit 10,000-strong enemy, roaring and rushing towards the artillery.

On the way, one of the grenadiers was shot and fell, and then was blown up by the 10,000 enemies he carried, and the remaining grenadiers continued to rush up, raining down on their heads under the terrified eyes of the Han gunners and gunners on the opposite side......

"Third floor, come forward!"

In the smoke of gunpowder, the majestic sound of orders came from the side of the Jingbian Army.

"Mighty!"

The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army roared in unison, crossed the corpses and wounded of their comrades on the ground, and collectively stepped to the front of the queue, aiming the sharp Donglu bird guns in their hands at the Han Eight Banner soldiers who were already quite chaotic in front.

The drums of each battalion and each unit were also struck a few times in a hurry, accompanied by a melodious flute sound, as well as a flute and a waiting.

The gunners stepped forward, the spearmen followed, and the bannermen and the golden drummers, some of whom had fallen and were replaced by deputies or guards.

They always walked in parallel with the gunners, carrying flags, beating drums, and blowing their own music.

"Ten thousand people are single-minded, Mount Tai can be shaken!"

The military music is tragic and magnificent, and it is full of the unique charm of ancient music, but it has been lost in later generations, and it may only be possible to get a glimpse or two from the ancient music of Lijiang.

"Shoot!"

In the frightened eyes of the Han army on the opposite side, the soldiers fired another fierce salvo, and in the explosion of fire, the Han army in front of them fell down one by one.

"Shoot!"

After the shooting, the white smoke obscured the people's field of vision, and the gunpowder smoke spread with the pungent smell of blood, and another layer of Jingbian Army and Xuanzhen New Army stepped forward, and on the way, the opposite side fought back once, some soldiers fell, and soon they pulled the plate machine again, and the dense fire guns roared non-stop, and the screams on the opposite side were continuous.

The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army used the tactic of slowly advancing and shooting, and at this time, they were already forced forward for a long distance from their original positions.

Looking at the Han army on the other side, it can be said that it has not been formed, in fact, the Jingbian army preemptively opened two guns, the first time they counterattacked was more neat, the second time was slightly neat, and the back has fallen into chaos, and the fire guns that fought back were uneven.

Zhao Xuan had already ordered each artillery to be sandwiched between the various columns, at least three in each place, and more than 160 artillery pieces in the artillery battalion, which were divided into dozens of groups.

These gunners, risking their lives, constantly bombarded each other, greatly supporting the gunners.

The drums of each battalion and each unit were also struck a few times in a hurry, accompanied by a melodious flute sound, as well as a flute and a hammer.

The gunners stepped forward, the spearmen followed, and the bannermen and the golden drummers, some of whom had fallen and were replaced by deputies or guards.

They always walked in parallel with the gunners, carrying flags, beating drums, and blowing their own music.

"Ten thousand people are single-minded, Mount Tai can be shaken!"

Military music is tragic and magnificent, and full of the unique charm of ancient music, but it has basically been lost in later generations, and perhaps it can only be glimpsed from Lijiang ancient music.

"Shoot!"

In the frightened eyes of the Han army on the opposite side, the soldiers fired another fierce salvo, and in the explosion of fire, the Han army in front of them fell down one by one.

"Shoot!"

After the shooting, the white smoke obscured the people's field of vision, and the gunpowder smoke spread with the pungent smell of blood, and another layer of Jingbian Army and Xuanzhen New Army stepped forward, and on the way, the opposite side fought back once, some soldiers fell, and soon they pulled the plate machine again, and the dense fire guns roared non-stop, and the screams on the opposite side were continuous.

The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army used the tactic of slowly advancing and shooting, and at this time, they were already forced forward for a long distance from their original positions.

Looking at the Han army on the other side, it can be said that it has not been formed, in fact, the Jingbian army preemptively opened two guns, the first time they counterattacked was more neat, the second time was slightly neat, and the back has fallen into chaos, and the fire guns that fought back were uneven.

Kong Youde had a very good idea, and he lined up the Han army's gunners in eight or nine columns, and without loading ammunition, he could continue to fight and give full play to the advantage of being outnumbered, but he ignored the courage of the soldiers.

The horror of his own death at any time, and the tense atmosphere of his comrades falling by his side, create an environment that drives people crazy.

Platoon gun battles, soldiers need to line up in dense formations, in order to maximize the power of firepower, especially when the smoke is dense and the target is not clear, so when shooting, you need to wait for the order of the officer, that is, there is artillery against them, and no fire is allowed without an order.

This was too difficult for the Han army, although after they defected to the Qing Dynasty, they had relatively strict training, logistics and discipline, and they also divided the fields and houses, and the will to fight was stronger than when they were in the Ming army, but they fought with guns and guns, and their will and courage had not yet reached that step, let alone the Korean army.

Therefore, when the Jingbian troops on the opposite side kept shooting and approaching step by step, most of them had already fallen into madness, some of them stepped forward according to orders, some retreated on their own, some stood still, some shot wildly, some looked at the corpses on the ground, and some groaned the wounded and screamed hoarsely.

Before the war, the relatively clear number of guns and soldiers was crowded together at this time, and in the face of such a chaotic situation, Shi Tingzhu and the others had no choice but to roar and roar.

"The two Tartars are on the verge of collapse, it's time to order the spearmen to fight!"

Behind the array, Zhong Xiancai and Han and North Korea paid close attention to the battle situation, and in the clairglass mirror, the situation of the Han army on the opposite side could be seen clearly, and their panicked expressions were also vivid.

The battle of firearms was very brutal, and the platoon was shot against each other, and both the enemy and the enemy lost a lot of people, but the losses of the Han army were even heavier.

The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army had already fired two rounds, that is, six platoons, which caused the Han army on the opposite side to be sparsely formed, and the artillery shotguns of the Jingbian Army in particular continued to fire, causing them great panic.

According to Zhong Xiancai's estimates, the first and second platoons of guns fired a salvo, which was a hundred paces away, and at least a quarter of their platoon was knocked out each time.

However, because the closer they approached, the battle record was not small, and there were also shotguns fired by artillery, they were continuous, the firepower was ferocious, and the results achieved were even more amazing, Zhong Xiancai estimated that the addition of the guns had caused more than 3,000 casualties to the other side, accounting for at least 20% of their guns.

To be honest, Zhong Xiancai admired the fact that those two Tartars could hold on to it until now, and it is possible that they were stunned and blinded, right?

Looking at his own casualties again, he was extremely distressed, and said hatefully.

Han Chao nodded calmly: "Indeed, the time has come!" ”

He looked at the Xuanzhen army's side, after the platoon fired, their side was also quite chaotic, and the reserve battalion behind them was replenished with some numbers.

However, they basically maintain their structure and level, and they can fight according to orders, although they face many North Korean troops, but their combat courage still makes Han and North Korea nod secretly.

Looking at the two wings again, at first, the Han army had a large number of gunmen and spearmen, and some of them wanted to outflank them from the two wings, but they were placed on the two wings of some Jingbian army artillery, fired more than a dozen shotguns in one go, and fled back screaming and fear.

"Shoot!"

The Jingbian Army and the Xuanzhen New Army fought the seventh platoon, and after the screams on the opposite side were again connected, the sharp swan horn sounded, and the battalion headquarters issued an order for the spearmen to fight.

"Wan Sheng!"

After waiting for a long time, all the Jingbian Army and Xuanzhen New Army spearmen, they made a loud and powerful voice, they held their spears, shouted loudly, crossed the gunners brothers, like a torrent, rushed towards the opposite Han army, their spears, shining in the sun.

Hundreds of bombardiers, armed with 10,000 lit enemies, howled and rushed to the front of them.

At this time, the soldiers of the Four Banners and the North Korean Army were already on the verge of collapse, and they were the cold weapons in the rear, all of them were pale and frightened, and when they saw the gunmen of the Jingbian Army and other fierce men, most of the gunners in front, especially the North Korean soldiers, ran away screaming, and only a small number of people were nervously trembling under the roar of the officers.

Some of the grenadiers and spearmen were shot by them, and they fell forward to the ground, and the rest of the shouts rushed up, and soon, the explosions of 10,000 enemies, as well as the sharp spears, overwhelmed the Han army and other guns, killing them in a moment.

"Hold on!"

Shi Tingzhu roared angrily, Liu Zhiyuan, Zu Zerun, Wu Shoujin and other frightened soldiers were defeated so quickly, and they had to drink the cold weapons behind the battle.

"Fifteen thousand bird soldiers, and they can't beat Wang Dou and other thousands of soldiers? They were also bombarded by artillery all the way! ”

Kabush Xianzhang Jinglaosa, standing beside Kong Youde, looking at the battle ahead, he said coldly: "Gongshun Wang, no matter what, the right wing of the army cannot fail, even if you die, you must drag Wang to fight them!" ”

Kong Youde also has a blue face, with the help of heavy artillery, and superior troops, and the other party has no cover such as earth-wheels, so he is fighting like this?

Beside him, Jin Zidian was also pale, he felt sorry for the casualties of his domestic soldiers, and he was afraid of the rout ahead, he muttered: "What to do, what to do?" ”

Kong Youde suddenly gave an order: "Let Shi Tingzhu block them, and the rear army will come forward to support!" ”

He raised his clairing mirror and looked coldly at Wang Dou's Chinese position, which had stopped on a hill two miles away, and had stacked a large number of sacks and earthen baskets as cover.

Previously, he also ordered the artillery battalion to bombard the Jingbian Army, but the effect was not obvious.

At this time, he once again conveyed the order: "Concentrate all the heavy artillery and bombard Wang Dou's place with all of them!" (To be continued)
