Chapter 114: A River of Blood
PS: The second update is here! Early in the morning, I worked hard in the code word! The author will go to have a meal first, and then come back and continue to fight, brothers wait for my next shift! If you have a commuter pass, you will support it immediately! ~
The gunshots rang out suddenly, and the momentum was so loud that it was terrifying.
For the firearms used by the Ming army, Yu Chongming has always been disdainful, the power is not as good as the bow and arrow, and he often explodes, which is simply useless in his eyes. However, the first volley launched by the Ming army, and the soldiers in the front row of the rebels suddenly fell to the ground in rows, and its power suddenly shocked Yu Chongming and others.
It was a hundred meters away, about seventy paces, and the rebels who had fallen were more than four hundred.
Thinking that the terrain of the river valley was relatively narrow, it could only accommodate more than 500 people in a line, and the three rows of musketeers of the Ming army, a total of 1,500 people, launched a round of salvo, which caused a great killing effect.
The protection of the rebels is obviously not too outstanding, and the reason why they are called elite is mainly because the Tusi soldiers dare to fight. At a distance of 100 meters, the Ming army's flintlock pistols were already capable of inflicting great lethality on the rebels.
"Reload." After a round of shooting, the three platoons of musketeers hurried to reload.
At this time, the rebels quickly reached within eighty meters, and then encountered one after another rejecting horses, which immediately blocked the way forward, and the speed of the charge suddenly slowed down.
In the process of destroying the rejection, the rebels have already received a second salvo.
"Aim...... Put! ”
The gunfire rang out again, and after the explosion like thunder, the rebels fell again by four or five hundred men. The dead rebels are full of guns, at this distance, the enemy is so dense, it is basically impossible for the Ming musketeers to miss people, although the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is poor, but it is not traceless, it is no problem to concentrate a target in a certain area within 100 meters, not to mention that the enemy is too dense, as long as the height is not crooked, whether it is left or right. You can hit people. Fifteen hundred musketeers fired a volley, and the front row of the rebels fell a whole row again, as if they had been cut wheat.
The comrades in front were killed on the spot, and there were still terrifying bullet holes on their bodies. The rebels in the back suddenly became the front row, and saw the tragic situation of the friendly troops. Immediately understood his fate.
This...... Aren't there queues to eat guns?
Because the scene was so shocking, the effect of the salvo made the soldiers in the front row of the rebels feel that they could not hide. It also makes the soldiers who have become front rows less lucky, and makes them realize that the next time the guns are fired, they will also be shot in a row.
The soldiers in the front row of the rebels panicked, and some even began to hesitate.
The advantage of the salvo was immediately brought into play. The three-stage shot obviously did not have such a deterrent effect. If you shoot in three sections, the enemy soldiers in the front row will have a fluke mentality, maybe they won't die! Then the result is that those who died died on the spot, and those who did not die happily confirmed their judgment - haha, brother really didn't die!
The rebels finally broke the rejection and rushed again. It's just that the rebels' formation has been disrupted by two rounds of musket strikes, and because of the difference in the speed and slow time of the rejection of the horses, and the procrastination of some soldiers who do not want to be in the front row, the rebels' offensive formation has been disrupted and looks a little loose.
However, he had just passed through the rejection formation. Before they could take a few steps, a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the ground behind the rebels.
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
Flames burst from the ground, and wisps of white smoke filled the air and lingered around the rebel soldiers. The rebel soldiers fell to the ground screaming as they exploded, many of them not dead, but their legs had been injured and broken. Some of the unlucky ones were killed directly, but there was not so much pain.
The rebels panicked, and the people behind them were taken aback. I don't know why gunpowder exploded under the soles of my feet.
This thing is naturally a mine, and the mine in the Ming Dynasty was called a bomber, and it was triggered by a steel wheel lighter. This kind of steel wheel ignition is obviously not something from the Tusi troops.
Destroyed the rebels who rejected the horses. Because he stepped on the steel wheel lighter, there was a series of explosions in the rear. The serial explosions caused the entire rebel army to suddenly falter, and the rebel soldiers panicked and scurried around.
After all, the mines exploded around them, and the huge sound and impact force came suddenly, who could continue to charge without changing their faces?
After the explosion, the uninjured rebel soldiers looked at the smoke around them in confusion. Visibility suddenly dropped a lot, and the surrounding comrades who had been killed and injured by the explosion suddenly panicked. In particular, the rebels who were wounded in the leg by the explosion were basically crippled if they survived.
At this time, the Ming army's musketeers were still firing at the rebels.
"Aim...... Put! ”
"Aim...... Put! ”
Repeated passwords, repeated shots, the soldiers loaded, aimed, and pulled the trigger as if they were conditioned reflexes, and each salvo was like a thunderbolt, instantly taking away the lives of four or five hundred rebel soldiers, and some of the rebels were even beaten into sieves by the salvo, and their bodies were full of bullet holes.
The rebels are getting closer and closer, but the lethality of the muskets is becoming more and more terrifying, like a net of death fire. The shocking effect of the salvo made the rebels in the charge completely frightened.
The visual effect of the salvo was so strong that it could instantly knock down hundreds of rebels, allowing them to feel the lethality of the muskets very clearly.
The rebels finally rushed forty meters away, but the rebels in front were already scattered, and one of the rebels suddenly felt that something was wrong with the ground in front of them, as if the dirt had been turned over.
Just thinking about it, I already stepped on it.
Crash!
The rebel soldier fell into the air, only to see that there was only a thin layer of soil on the ground, but a trench underneath.
The trench was nearly two meters deep, and although no one could die if it fell, it would not be able to climb out for a while, and Yan zhòng hindered the speed of the rebels' charge.
The rebel soldiers in the back had learned from the past, and they crossed the trench very smartly, and their steps were much bigger. But as a result, his feet were also empty, and he fell into another trench in an instant.
Apparently there was more than one trench.
This is all the 'luxury gift package' prepared by the Fourth Infantry Division for the rebels under Yu Chongming overnight, and it is precisely by taking advantage of Yu Chongming's eagerness to fight that the combat fortifications were arranged in advance.
"Aim, put!"
Another volley, fifteen hundred flintlock pistols spewed flames and smoke, killing hundreds of rebels rushing forward on the spot.
Luxury Chongming watched his foot soldiers being ruthlessly killed one after another, and his eyes were already red, and he looked at this strange Ming army with difficulty in execution.
"Dad, these Ming army's firearms are too sharp, but how can I be good." Hao Yin was suddenly a little at a loss, and asked Luxury Chongming anxiously.
"Rush, rush over for me, as long as you rush over, you win, you take someone to personally supervise the battle, and if you don't retreat, you will be killed on the spot." Luxury Chongming roared, the Ming army's firearms were indeed unbelievably sharp, but it was not that he had never seen the Ming army's firearms. But he knew the law of the Ming army, that is, as long as he got close, he could defeat the Ming army's firearms troops with a few casual kills.
"The child obeys." Hao Yin sang the promise loudly, and then all the 5,000 people in the rear of Hao Chongming's department were pressed up, and Hao Yin personally led the team to supervise the battle.
The all-out charge has begun, and victory or defeat is already a matter of a hammer.
Many of the rebels in front of them were already frightened and scurrying around with their heads in their hands. Hao Yin and his own soldiers killed dozens of rebels on the spot, and finally drove the rebels to continue to charge.
It's close! It's close!
After a few trenches were crossed, they were getting closer and closer to the musketeers of the Ming army. However, behind these rebels who rushed forward, nearly 3,000 corpses had fallen, as well as many wounded soldiers.
The musketeers fired a total of seven volleys! The corpses of the rebels lay all the way.
The Ming musketeers also suffered considerable losses, with hundreds of them being shot and killed by the rebel archers, but such losses were too small compared to the rebels. Moreover, these musketeers did not pay any attention to the arrows falling from the sky, and were completely undisturbed.
After all, the firepower is not intensive, and the musketeers feel that they will not necessarily die, and they are all handed over to fate for judgment anyway. In addition, after the Beijing battalion was organized and trained into a new army, the military law was harsh. The soldiers were trained under the harsh military law, and they became more and more mechanical, and when they saw their comrades being shot to death, they were indifferent and continued to reload.
At this time, there were already sporadic rebels rushing up, and Luxury Chongming was overjoyed, but the next scene made Luxury Chongming spurt out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
The Ming musketeers retreated, but behind the musketeers were rows of pikemen. I saw these pikemen lined up in a dense formation, and the spears were densely aimed at the rushing rebel soldiers like hedgehogs.
The rebels who were charging crashed into it on the spot!
As a result, nature is miserable and tragic.
Several rebels rushed to the front and were stabbed to death on the spot. The dense forest of spears, there are no gaps for them to drill, and as soon as they get close, they are shot with four or five spears.
Then a dozen rebels rushed forward and were stabbed to death on the spot.
The rebels who rushed up from behind gradually increased, and more than 100 rebels rushed up in the third platoon, but the result was still moths to the fire, and they were poked to death and picked to death on the spot by spears.
At this time, the rebels behind learned to be obedient, and quickly stopped, formed a formation with the friendly forces in the rear, and then rushed again. rushing up in such a chaotic manner is completely a head-off.
The rear of the rebels was still pressing forward, and soon the rebels also formed a dense formation, holding knives and guns and slowly moving forward. The musketeers had retreated, and the rebels didn't need to charge quickly.
The rebels and the Ming army soon became like two torrents, 'squeezing' together in the long and narrow river valley, and the real battle had just begun.
After the rebels under the command of Yu Chongming were shot at thousands of people, they still did not rout, which was indeed unexpected by Ding Maoxin, the commander of the Fourth Infantry Division.
Seeing the rebels rushing up like a tide, Ding Maoxin suddenly smiled.
From a bird's-eye view from above, the rebels crowded towards the Ming army like a torrent, and the Ming army in red robes was as solid as a rock, standing still in the river valley.
The rebels melted as quickly as ice.
Blood, stained red with dirt, trickled down the valley. (To be continued.) )
