Chapter 330: The Only Choice
Two thousand Mongols, who had attacked, quickly crossed the musket array and appeared a hundred paces outside the city walls.
However, the commander of the musket regiment, who had a sneer on his face, still did not issue an order to counterattack.
He was still waiting, waiting until the Mongols rushed to the foot of the city walls and could attack each other with grenades.
Finally, standing on the tower, the condescending commander of the musket regiment, who could clearly see the fanatical facial expressions of the Mongols outside the city, spoke......
Personally took out a grenade and lit the arquebus with a fire breaker......
The sparkling spark quickly extended along the fire rope behind the wooden handle of the grenade. Directly with all his strength, he waved his arms and threw the grenade that was emitting white smoke out of the city......
The loud explosion of the grenade was a signal for the defenders to counterattack.
Hundreds of musketeers who had been sent from behind the battlements lit the grenade ropes they had already held in their hands at the same time, and then threw them out of the city.
After hundreds of grenades exploded at the same time, hundreds of fireballs rose from the ground, directly enveloping the first line of the city wall within a range of dozens of steps. Thousands of grenade fragments, like an airtight storm of steel, swept directly towards the hundreds of Mongols rushing at the front.
A heart-rending scream sounded outside the city, and the Mongols who were at the forefront of the charge seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and they fell directly to the ground in pieces, turning into corpses......
After throwing the grenades, hundreds of musketeers directly grabbed their muskets, passed through the guò city wall, and aimed at the Mongols, who were still out of the range of the grenades, and then. Pull the trigger without hesitation.
Gunshots like popping beans. Loud grenade explosions...... Quickly at the time of the ringing of the first line of the city wall.
Mortar gunners, who were hiding in the city, were not idle.
Quickly use a torch to detach the fire rope protruding from the tail of the mortar.
The sparks from the burning arquebus have just disappeared from view. The deafening sound of shelling sounded in the chamber of the cannon.
Then, the sharp tiger roar produced by the cannonballs across the sky resounded on the battlefield
Twenty-seven flowering shells crossed the city walls and the battlefield of engagement, and exploded in what appeared to be messy around the Mongol musketeers. As far as the dialect looked, only about four or five flowering shells hit the target.
However, in the field battlefield, where there is not the slightest concealment, it can be called an unobstructed view. Fragments of shells from these flowering shells. Just in terms of power, it is definitely not inferior to hundreds of buckshots. At a speed invisible to the naked eye, he quickly flew towards the Mongolian musketeers beside him.
At this time, if you look down from the sky, you will see such a shocking scene.
Centered on the impact point of five or six flowering bullets, the surrounding Mongolian musketeers fell to the ground with their heads outward and their feet inward. In the midst of the dense Mongol musketeers, several huge circular gaps with a diameter of more than three battles were formed.
In the face of the sudden flowering bullets, they are shooting desperately. The Mongol musketeers, who wanted to suppress the counterattack fire of the tiger and leopard army on the city wall, were directly stunned.
Right. It's just confused......
Because, when he first joined the Musket Corps, Dorgon personally told everyone that the Musketeers were the safest of all the troops.
You only need to kill enemies from a distance, and you don't need to participate in any close-range combat. So, joining the Musketeers means that their lives are not threatened.
It is with such optimism that the Mongols, who have only been training for a few days, can easily complete a series of reloading and firing actions on the battlefield without falling back into chaos.
As for the attack from the flowering bullets in front of them, the Haw Par Army directly told them with the facts, and the musketeers also had to face the threat of death at any time. On the bloody battlefield, death will also come to them. Otherwise, the hundreds of musketeers around him would not have turned into corpses in front of him.
In this case, under the threat of death, the musketeers, who had lost less than a tenth of their total strength, directly became panicked. It was still optimistic just now, but at this moment, it has been covered with anxiety and worry.
The Mongols, who had not yet mastered the musket in their hands, immediately became scrambling under the influence of this mentality.
The second round of flowering bullets fired by the Haw Par Army had not yet reached their heads, and the lead bullets they fired had been almost half less before they knew it. What's more, the dull sound of gunfire, which was still ringing out just now, has become very messy like firecrackers, and there is not the slightest three-stage shooting in sight.
Such an outcome is definitely very favorable for the defenders.
Just now, he could only lie on the battlements, dodging the Haw Par Army who were shooting outside the city. As the Mongol musketeers fired at the city walls, the lead bullets continued to decrease sharply. Even a limited amount of lead bullet did not have the slightest chance because of the panic of the musketeers. He has completely let go of the scruples in his heart, stood up straight, and used more accurate marksmanship to shoot lead bullets out of the city.
So, there was such a scene on the battlefield.
Under the fire of Mortar after Mortar, the 2,000 musketeers of the Mongols outside the city were blown to the ground in pieces. As for the remaining musketeers, they became more and more confused, and even forgot their mission to suppress the tiger and leopard firearms unit on the city walls.
On the other hand, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was defending on the city wall, became more and more courageous.
Round after round of buckshot was fired, harvesting all the Mongols outside the city who wanted to get close to the walls.
Of course, amid the constant sound of bean-like gunfire on the city wall, grenades emitting white smoke were also constantly thrown off the city wall, killing and injuring those Mongols who had dodged lead bullets......
Far with muskets, close with grenades, plus the cover of dozens of mortars...... The Mongols who rushed to the city wall were killed almost as many as they came......
Soon, the ground outside the city was stained red with blood and covered with a thick layer of corpses.
However, what is surprising is that even though the Mongols knew that if they continued to attack, they still waved their weapons as usual and continued to rush to the county town of Dingbian.
Because, only when they rush through Dingbian County can they have a chance to rescue their own people from the hands of the Tiger and Par Army.
If you can't rush through Dingbian County, and your own people are slaughtered by the Tiger and Leopard Army, then you might as well die outside Dingbian City if you live alone.
Therefore, in the face of death, the more than 1,000 Mongols left outside the city did not show the slightest retreat.
Looking at the Mongols outside the city who were not afraid of death, the commander of the Haw Par Army Musket Regiment, who had been holding the city tower, smiled.
Since the Mongol musket team outside the city was suppressed by mortar guns, this Mongol attack has invisibly become a death. The more they did this, the more Mongols they killed themselves, and the closer they came to their goal of destroying them. Of course, the safer it is to be taken out of a musket battalion in Dingbian County.
However, for Dolgon outside the city, this picture can only be described in one word, and that is heartache. (To be continued......)
