Chapter 499 Yang Xingling

Vast fires flickered, and in the thick smoke, dense shotguns and lead spewed out, and countless debris was stirred up on the pontoon, and even some wooden planks exploded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The fine columns of water in the river rose up, like a sudden rainstorm, and the smoke and dust carried by the shotguns on the opposite bank of the river were connected together, and a lot of gravel jumped.

In the explosion of the Franc machine, the blood mist flew on the pontoon bridge, and a large group of Han soldiers fell into the river, and after the dense lead shot swept away, many Han soldiers with blue flags and red border armor let out an irrepressible howl.

"Beat me hard!"

The general of the artillery battalion had a hideous expression and shouted loudly at his subordinates.

When the big Buddha Lang machine turned to the side of the big pontoon bridge in the battle, he already knew that Yang Qian was seriously injured and life and death were on the front line, and at the same time, under the bombardment of the second Tartar, the artillery battalion roughly estimated that the casualties would reach dozens of people, how to make him not angry?

You have heavy artillery in your Tartars, and you can bombard me from afar, but the artillery of my Jingbian Army is mobile and flexible, moving around, and focusing on your infantry army, see how you are!

So after receiving Zhao Xuan's order, he didn't say a word, and ordered his subordinates to put the horses and mules on artillery ammunition, pull them and leave.

Sun was in charge of the 35 general Franc machines in the battalion, 25 of which were under his command at this time, and the remaining 10 were arranged in a small artillery array, which was commanded by the officer of the A team, who was also the deputy general of the battalion. These big francs were responsible for one cannon every five people, hauled by two mules and horses, and the ammunition carts, also towed by horses and mules.

The gunners, who also had horses, held their breath, mounted their horses, pulled their guns, and soon reached their destination, miles away, where numerous Francos were arranged on the shore on the left side of the large pontoon.

In order to seize the opportunity, they didn't even set up a bunker, but set up artillery in the open area on the bank, close to the river, and used shotguns to bombard Shang Kexi's subordinates who happened to cross the river.

However, after seeing the movement of the artillery, Wang Dou immediately ordered Zhong Xiancai's department to send a total of troops, and then follow up to protect the safety of these artillerymen, covering the right flank of the artillery array.

Because Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion was pure gunners, with few combat and escort soldiers, and many times it was necessary to cover the cavalry battalion. However, including the soldiers, Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion already has more than 2,000 people, and with the addition of an escort, I am afraid that it will reach 3,000 people.

This large pontoon bridge is near the bend of the river, and the distance between the two banks is only more than 100 meters.

Generally, the range of the shotgun of the Hongyi six-pounder gun is more than 200 steps, and the Wolf machine also has more than 100 steps.

In the general roar of Sun Jiang, the gunner in front of him also pursed his lips, quickly put forward the empty Zi Gong, and filled in the new Zi Gong, and every time the cannon was bombarded, the Han Army with the blue flag on the pontoon bridge cried and shouted for his father.

After being shelled by the Wuzhenha Chao Artillery Battalion, they all held their breath, and when they heard about Yang Qian's general incident, they were even more resentful of the enemy. Their skills are exquisite, and the Franc machine cannon is fast, can not dissipate heat for a long time, they fire from time to time, so that the Han army who crossed the bridge is in pain, and it is difficult to cross the pontoon bridge one step.

The Shenji Battalion, which was not far from Fu Yingchong on the left, also came back to their senses at this time, and they found that although the artillery of the Han Army Banner was powerful, the actual damage to the artillery array was quite small at such a distance.

Their rockets and Franc planes began to bombard the Qing army on the opposite bank, and even launched the Divine Fire Crow. They also used mortar cannons, firing gray and poison bombs, and many Han soldiers crowded on the other side of the river, and every time these poison bombs flew, they fled in horror.

Not to mention the section of the river in the Twin Mountains, for the Han Eight Banners, the only one that can cross the river at this time is this big pontoon bridge.

However, not to mention the 100 steps behind the large pontoon bridge, Yang Guozhu's new army was lined up in earth-carts, and as soon as the Jingbian Army's Franc machine swung this side, it was difficult for them to cross the thunder pond.

Sun Jiang once again gave the order, twenty-five gates of the general Franc machine, and one door to the pontoon bridge and the opposite bank.

In the loud sound of artillery, a large stream of fierce fire and smoke erupted from the front, and on the opposite bank and the pontoon bridge, many earth-wheeled carts and bloody corpses were left again, and the remaining soldiers who were not dead fled back with screams and crawls.

Sun Jiang's total artillery is diagonally facing the bridge deck, which is considered to be a side shot, could it be that on the pontoon bridge, those Han soldiers can still push the cart sideways?

In the panicked screams, the blue flag of the Han army retreated like a tide, revealing the solid mountain on the gentle slope, as well as Shang Kexi's distorted face, listening to the cries of his subordinates, he knew that they had done their best to face the Jingbian army's shotgun with flesh and blood, and anyone would be afraid.

It's just that why is this, the Shenwei General Cannon, which has an advantage on his side, can't cover the army to cross the river?

He looked at the side of the Wuzhen Hachao artillery array suddenly, and his eyes turned red: "Kong Youde is doing hair, after fighting for a long time, the Jingbian army has not hit a single hair, will they fight?" ”

At first, Kong Youde's artillery battalion, stabilized the Ming Guoshen Machine Battalion and the Jingbian Army Artillery Battalion, Shang Kexi was still cheering, but later it was found that the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion was just a momentum, earth-shattering, but the effect was not very good.

The casualties caused to the Ming army were even fewer, and the artillery of the Jingbian Army was a real threat, which quickly pulled to the side of the pontoon bridge and caused serious casualties to the army that crossed the river for itself.

He gritted his teeth and sent a herald to ask Kong Youde's artillery battalion to move to the shore and beat the Jingbian army on the other bank. At the same time, the Ming army's infantry formation not far from the pontoon bridge also worried him, and it was best to come over with multiple heavy artillery to bombard Yang Guozhu's infantry formation on the opposite bank.

……

Huang Taiji of Rufeng Shanxi frowned, the results achieved by the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion were much less than he expected.

The initial heavy artillery of the Qing Dynasty suppressed the artillery of the Jingbian Army so that it could not move, and it also lifted his spirits, and then found that it was meaningless and did not help the infantry to cross the river.

On the other hand, the Jingbian army was flexible in tactics and used light artillery bombardment, causing heavy casualties to the Han army crossing the river.

At this time, the battle in Twin Mountains was in a stalemate, and a large number of reinforcements were needed, Shang Kexi asked Kong Youde to pull the artillery battalion to the shore to help, he naturally saw this, and immediately urgently ordered Kong Youde's artillery battalion to move to the pontoon river section to cover the infantry army crossing the river here.

At the same time, he also hoped that Kong Youde's artillery battalion could defeat Yang Guozhu's infantry on the other side of the river, or let them retreat to make room for the follow-up army to cross the river.

Wang Dou saw the movement of the Qing army, he put down the clairvoyant mirror and smiled: "Okay, the artillery of the Qing army has moved!" ”

Previously, the artillery array of the Jingbian Army was suppressed by the artillery of the Han Army, and the whole army felt that they were holding back their birds. Li Guangheng and Wen Daxing both came to request, hoping to bring some cavalry or not collect at night, and go to the Qing camp artillery array to bomb or seize artillery, but Wang Dou stopped them.

Without the cooperation of guns and cannons, the one-way cavalry, against the tightly organized infantry formation, is just meaningless to die.

In the clairvoyant mirror, Wang Dou clearly saw that Kong Youde's artillery array on both wings and the rear gathered a large number of elite soldiers.

Not to mention the 3,000 elite soldiers in his banner, a large number of sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, etc., behind his army formation, there are also many Manchurian cavalry.

It is a few miles away from the artillery array, on the left flank, is the Han army banner Shi Tingzhu, Zu Zerun, Wu Shoujin and other soldiers and horses attacking Yang Xingling. On the right flank, there is also the riverside area, which is shishi, Geng Zhongming and others are crossing the river.

They all possibly pose a threat to their own cavalry who go to seize the artillery, and although their subordinates are brave, Wang Dou does not want to lose meaninglessly.

He believed that Kong Youde's artillery array would be pulled up, and his side would have the opportunity to strike at the enemy camp.

Moreover, this strategy is to block the enemy from crossing the river, as long as the Ming army in the rear pulls down the Twin Mountains, it will be a victory. On the battlefield, the necessary patience is needed, and war is not the courage of a horseman, and when it is time to bear the blow, it is necessary to be silent and patient.

Sure enough, the fighter plane arrived.

He believed that within his own firing range, Kong Youde's artillery battalion would not be the opponent of the Jingbian army's artillery battalion!

……

The whistling sound of artillery shells continued, and solid iron balls of different sizes fell up and down the mountain from time to time, but neither the Korean and Korean troops guarding the mountain, nor the officers and gunners of the Shenji Battalion who supported it, did not care at this time.

Yang Xingling, which was guarded by the Korean Dynasty, is a long and narrow mountain bag, the altitude is not high, the mountain is also very gentle, from the mountain range to the rear, you can see some scattered pine trees from time to time, especially on the gentle mountain top, there are dozens of tall pine trees, poplar trees.

The officers and men of the right battalion of the Korean Dynasty went up the foot of the mountain, relying on the earthen carts, and arranged several lines of defense, especially at the right flank, and also arranged a general number of first-class soldiers.

Because the small pontoon bridge is behind the hill here, following a dirt road, down the mountainside on the right. The small pontoon bridge is the lifeline of the Jingbian Army on the north bank, and as a general who has been in the war for a long time, the ROK and the DPRK naturally need important protection.

When the Qing army was bombarded, the soldiers of the second class army of each department were tightly clinging to the earthen carts, all of them silent. The pikemen of the various divisions took refuge in the rear of the mountain, and the first-class soldiers of the rear battalion also gathered there.

Of course, the ROK and the DPRK will not simply defend, and every time they launch a counterattack, the first-class army in the rear camp is all strong and has horses, so they are naturally the best target for attacking, and the defense of the second-class army can also better temper their combat strength.

Because the soil of Yang Xingling was soft and the cannonball smashed on the ground, it just lifted some yellow and black soil, and it didn't even bounce much, if it wasn't unlucky to be hit on the spot, it would generally be safe and sound, so the army looked relaxed.

Lei Xianbin even pointed to a cannon smashed dozens of steps away on the right, and said to Lin Jin: "How about it, I'll just say, the Tartar Red Yi Cannon is useless to my mountains, right?" ”

Lin Jinsi was actually startled just now, the iron ball just smashed on the slope, although it didn't jump, but there was a loud bang, setting off a large puff of smoke and dust, and the momentum was not small. If it happens to fall on the head, there will definitely be no bones left.

However, he still agreed on his face, and his expression was contemptuous: "The Tartar cannon is just a spectacle, it looks imposing, and it is really useful, but it is just a silver wax spear head that is not useful." ”

Speaking of this, he didn't know what to think of, hehe smiled, and his expression was quite obscene.

Lei Xianbin looked at the mountain carefully: "The cannon is indeed quite powerful, it is generally said that the recruits are afraid of the cannons, and the veterans are afraid of the guns." Calm down, the artillery is actually not a big deal, and the two Tartar birds have some threats. "To be continued.
