Chapter Eighty-Four: A Tooth for a Tooth

......A loud crash sounded on the battlefield, and the thigh of the musketeer, who was hit by a stone bullet, was directly smashed into a pile of meat sauce, and the white bones of the forest were exposed.

As the screams of soldiers began to sound on the battlefield, the Haw Par Army gradually began to suffer casualties.

At this moment, Wei Zheng was standing on the city wall with a solemn face, and witnessed countless stone bullets draw a beautiful arc in the air, falling on the Tiger and Leopard Army's position like rain, and kicking up patches of smoke and dust in the position.

Seeing that his subordinates began to suffer casualties, Wang Feng first couldn't hold back the worry in his heart and shouted at Wei Zheng......

"General, the stone projectiles fired by the Tartars are too powerful for the shield to work at all...... What do we do next......"

"What to do...... At present, there is only one way, and that is to stick to ...... Retreating now must be an unprecedented huge blow to the morale of the soldiers......" Wei Zheng shook his head and replied helplessly.

Hearing this, not only Wang Feng, but also Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing on the other side of Wei Zheng, also became silent.

Frow at each other, thinking about possible solutions.

"General, before there is enough artillery to suppress the opponent's trebuchet, there is only one way to choose ......" Zhou Shuyuan, who was silent for a short time, suddenly replied, his tone full of helplessness.

At this moment, Wang Feng suddenly complained thoughtlessly: "If we can throw the explosive bag used that night into the Tartar trebuchet position, then we can definitely blow up the trebuchet that the Tartar worked so hard to make......

The artillery used by Hu Baojun now cannot be regarded as real artillery for Wei Zheng.

However, Wang Feng's reminder suddenly gave Wei Zheng a very unrealistic idea in his mind.

Since the solid shells fired by the artillery could not numerically suppress the Tartar trebuchet, they fired flowering shells that could explode at the Tartar trebuchet position.

The power of a flowering projectile on the battlefield is definitely more than ten or more solid shells. This means that the effect of firing flowering shells at the same time of nine medium Franc guns can already achieve the effect of several white guns firing solid shells at the same time.

However, when he thought of the slim possibility of creating a flowering bomb right away, his face, which had just flashed a hint of discoloration, became pale. However, he did not give up on the idea.

At this moment, Wei Zheng's mind was like a huge computer, and he began to search for ways to deliver homemade explosives packs to the Tartar trebuchet positions bit by bit from the various classic battles he knew.

At this moment, the trebuchet arm of the Tartar trebuchet position, which was constantly raised high, suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Wei Zheng.

My mind, which was still a mess just now, instantly became clear.

His eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Holy shit, Tartars can build trebuchets, why can't we build trebuchets." I don't believe that the catapult we have built is inferior to the Tartar in terms of range......"

"In addition, the Tartars shoot stone projectiles at us with trebuchets, and we can fire packs of explosives ten times more powerful at them."

After speaking, Wei Zheng had already made a decision in his heart, and ordered with a decisive face: "Just do it, the brothers who did not participate in the war and more than a thousand young people will immediately go into the mountains to cut down logs and prepare to make zuòtrebuchets......"

"Strategist, you immediately extract 1,000 catties of explosives from the artillery battalion, add gravel to them, and make 200 10-pound explosive packets."

"Battalion Commander Wang, the position will be handed over to you...... After making an appropriate blockade in the first line, retreat to the second line of defense. Tell the brothers, our retreat is not to fear the enemy, but to better kill the Tartars......"

Wang Feng replied loudly: "General, it's not the first time we've taken the initiative to retreat, brothers can understand......

In half an hour, fifty trebuchets and Tartars fired more than 3,000 stone projectiles at the front-line positions of the Tiger and Par Army.

Although only 20 percent of these stone bullets really hit the target, these two percent of the white stone bullets still brought a lot of damage to the front-line positions, and even the soldiers of the Tiger and Par Army on the positions were killed and injured a lot......

Dorgon was shocked by the trebuchet's victory, and after the shock, a wave of surprise began to appear on his face.

He shouted an order to his subordinates who were also excited: "Trebuchet, don't stop, continue to fire stone projectiles at the position of the Tiger and Par Army." Garris, you immediately lead two Niu Lu and five hundred infantry to follow, and under the cover of trebuchets, launch an attack on the position of the Tiger and Par Army. ”

Countless stone projectiles drew arcs in the air and flew towards the front-line positions of the Tiger and Par Army, and a huge infantry phalanx slowly formed in front of the Tartar Army.

Whether it was the shield cart left over from the Tartars, or the simple shield carts made of logs by the Tartars overnight, they were all pushed in front of the Tartar infantry phalanx to form a bulletproof shield wall.

"Kill ......"

After a violent sound sounded in the Tartar infantry phalanx, the Tartar infantry phalanx, which was tightly blocked by a shield wall, began to slowly advance and press towards the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

"Continue to hide, without my order, no one is allowed to come out and send them to death......" In the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Wang Feng's roar was like a thunderclap, and suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

Then, the entire defenders of the position fell into a death-like silence as if they were dead.

The stone projectiles fired by the Tartar trebuchet still landed on the position of the Tiger and Par Army, and the infantry phalanx, which was completely blocked by the shield wall, continued to advance towards the position of the Tiger and Par Army at an unabated speed.

However, there was no movement in the Haw Par Army's position from beginning to end.

One hundred steps...... Eighty steps...... Fifty steps...... Thirty steps......

In order to avoid accidental injury, the Tartar trebuchet has stopped firing stone projectiles, and many Tartars even believe that the Haw Par Army on the battlefield has been smashed into meat sauce or fled the battlefield. Wang Feng's violent harmony sounded in the position again.

"Musket battalion, start shooting ......"

"Shooting ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......" gunshots rang out on the battlefield, and the lead bullets that pierced through the shield wall were like death, constantly reaping the lives of the Tartar infantry.

Of course, the Tartar archers were not idle, quickly raising their longbows to counterattack.

Although it had no effect, the arrows that kept whistling overhead still gave the infantry in front of them the courage to continue to move forward on a certain distance.

Maybe it's because of the cover of the archers behind him, or maybe it's because he is too close to the position of the Haw Par Army, and he can step on the position of the Haw Par Army with a single charge and hold the victory in his hands.

In the face of casualties, the infantry who stood at the front surprisingly did not show a frightened expression.

It's as if he has been stimulated, pushing a shield cart, holding a shield, and continuing to attack without fear of death.

At the same time, the Tartars, who had been using trebuchets to shoot blindly at the positions of the Haw Par Army, continued to throw stone projectiles at the positions of the Haw Par Army as if they had suddenly found a target to vent, regardless of any accidental injuries.
