Chapter 270: Shooting

The sound of whirring and breaking through the air frightened Langko, and he turned his horse's head and shouted, "Hurry up." ”

The order was still given a little late, there were too many shells from the sea, and one after another kept falling, and it was a little difficult for the forest road to turn. Puff, puff, the sound of a cannonball hitting a human body or a horse is muffled and porcelain.

More than 30 warships and nearly 80 12-pounder guns washed this small grove.

Right in front of Rangko's eyes, the armored slave was broken by a cannon, and the startled horse dragged the headless corpse forward for a while, and was hit by a cannonball, with a hole in the stomach, and fell into the woods very simply, convulsions and wails a few times, and there was no movement.

The aim of the solid bullet is average, but it can't withstand this kind of coverage. In less than two minutes, no less than twenty people were lost, and the entire team was in disarray. Some of the war horses were scurrying around with their owners in a panic, and they were not controlled at all. When there was chaos, the greenskins in front of him began to press forward slowly.

The chaos could not be stopped at all, and Ranko was led back by the horse, and several attempts to hold the reins were to no avail. When he finally slowed down his horse, a dense thud sounded behind him. Looking back, more than a dozen riders left behind fell off their horses, and the rest of the people were also running in their own direction. The road in the forest was still chaotic, and less than half of the people who followed him were running.

The other people's horses were either hit or scattered, becoming targets that could be killed by their opponents in no hurry.

The short battle was over, and less than a hundred of the two hundred cavalry escaped.

The choice was made to land in Qingniwa and not on the sea surface of King County, based on the official road in this place. Chen Xie's way of fighting his troops determined a purpose. Until the last resort, do not leave the official road to fight. The landing ground of this generation is a three-mile stretch of sandy beach. It's not the kind of soft white sand, the particles are relatively large, and the color is a bit dark. On the map, this belongs to Dalian Bay.

"Tsk, it's still been discovered. It doesn't seem like a bad thing, though. Chen Xie crooked his mouth, this area is actually quite suitable for building a dock. Unfortunately, this is destined to be a wilderness in this era.

Four hours have passed since the start of the landing, and four infantry battalions have been sent to the shore. The sappers worked with some cooperating soldiers to cut down a large area of wood. On the surface of the sea, wood is nailed together to a wooden frame. A simple bridge is rapidly taking shape. Without a trestle, tomorrow the artillery will not be able to go ashore, let alone the cavalry.

The siege of Lushun began early in the morning, and it looked like the trenches would continue to be filled. Both sides have made adjustments. And some targeted preparations were made. Wang Qinian still did not use his artillery team. Just transfer five hundred grenadiers. Along the traffic trench, I felt behind the earthen wall in front of a trench at the forefront at night, and there was also a trench one meter deep and two meters wide. It's easy to hide a few hundred people. Thanks to the fact that there are 20,000 people in Lushun, it is easy to dig a ditch or something.

Before the morning fog had lifted, the men who were pushing the shield cart and holding the shield began to come up, and behind the shield cart were heavy cannons. This copycat version of the Hongyi cannon has a lot of difference in caliber and range, but the weight is not light at all. The four animals walked along, and the speed was not fast at all. Behind the shield were the Goryeo soldiers, nearly 3,000 bird-gun soldiers. Yue Tuo's calculation is very fine, fight first, suppress the opponent and then go to Minfu, so that the casualties will be smaller, and it is impossible to tell who is behind the shield in the morning.

The big general's cannon at the head of the city still sounded first, and the Dongjiang soldiers in Lushun were not too bad in combat effectiveness when defending the city. The gunner is quite skilled, but this kind of cannon is too painful, and he can't get up fast if he wants to.

The five Hongyi cannons stopped, and at this time they were only five hundred meters away from the city wall, and Yue Tuo's order was naturally to destroy the cannons at the head of the city first, and then let the Goryeo musketeers kill and injure those Ming soldiers. This is a very reasonable tactic, but his understanding of modern warfare is too pale. It was a foolish thing to have a group of birdmen standing in the open area to suppress the opponent's birdmen behind the fortifications.

It is a very troublesome thing to operate the Hongyi cannon, and after a dozen people are busy, it takes twenty minutes to set up a position, which is quite fast.

Yue Tuo's anticipatory goryeo hand finally advanced to within 100 meters. The projectile fired by the general cannon at the head of the city is not bad, but the rate of fire is too slow. One shot in three minutes is a normal level, and it is good to be able to do this.

In these three minutes, the shield array advanced to a distance of fifty meters from the trench, and when the musketeers behind the trench showed up again, the Goryeo Gunner suddenly stood up and lit the arquebus as fast as he could.

This situation really startled the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion, but they still shot instinctively and quickly crouched down after completion.

The sound of thumping muskets came and went, and at this distance, the hit rate of the smoothbore guns produced in Dengzhou was still guaranteed. When a row of blood flowers bloomed, the arquebus on the opposite side also rang out. The projectile either hit the mound of earth and made a popping sound, or it flew into the sky, swishing. The Korean Bird Gun Soldiers play a three-stage shooting, and the 3,000 Bird Gun Soldiers are probably all the bird guns in this country.

The scene was a little chaotic, but it caused a huge momentum, with gunsmoke and gunfire. It cannot but be said that the courage of these Goryeo sticks is commendable, and they play three dan shots at a distance of fifty meters. Commander Park Zhiyin felt that he could make a fork, and when he stood in the first row and commanded his subordinates to shoot in three stages, he found a little bit of the feeling of the sages of the past. In a modern phrase, when I thought of a certain revolutionary martyr when I was blocking the eye-catching, it was as if I had been beaten with chicken blood.

The problem is that the scene and the excitement are very poor. Wang Ben, who was scared and squatted at the beginning, ran all the way along the trench, and when he asked about the casualties, only one person raised his hand: "Sir, my foot is broken." ”

Wang Ben thought it was ridiculous, no, what about so many musketeers, although they shot first, but other people's guns also rang out, why did they break their feet alone? When the shooting from behind continues, you can hear more whoosh sounds than pops, and then look up at the sky. Then what are you waiting for, Wang Ben raised his saber: "The second column, are they all dead?" Get up and shoot. And you, reloaded, hiding in the nest like rabbits? ”

Even scolded and beaten.,The second column also got up.,It was sent down after the head appeared.,The quasi-head on the opposite side is a little funny.。 This distance can shoot a bullet a meter or two above the head, which is also a skill.

This is really not a bad marksmanship, this smoothbore gun can theoretically be accurate within 50 meters, but in fact it is really hard to say. Although the quality of the Korean bird gun is higher than that produced in the Ming Dynasty, it really cannot be compared with the modern steel made of Dengzhou Ying, which is a bird gun with a unified caliber. The Korean bird guns are all handmade, and the caliber is different. Besides, gunpowder is almost meaningless, and it is difficult to say that it can be lifted within thirty meters, but it is difficult to say beyond thirty meters.

Basically, the arquebuses and flintlock pistols of this era were in this way, which is why the lobster soldiers played two columns, and shot at the opponent's shot of about ten meters, and then immediately rushed forward with a bayonet.

The Dengzhou battalion that reacted, at first glance, this thing seemed to be inaccurate, and the benefits of most of the grassroots officers being veterans were reflected. The Dengzhou musketeers stood up one after another to shoot, and the results of the two sides firing each other can be imagined. On one side, there were almost zero casualties, and on the other hand, flesh and blood were flying from lead bullets. The Korean soldiers played with arquebuses, which required a time delay and could not always hide behind wooden shields.

When the soldiers around him kept putting down the lead bullets, Park Ji-yin's heroism disappeared and turned into a ghost. The Dengzhou soldiers standing in the trench unceremoniously harvested their lives with a platoon of guns. Every time a gun is fired, hundreds of people are hit. Uh, well, there's not much certainty about the muskets of the other states at this distance. Not to mention the smoothbore gun, the rear lying gun cannot be said to have a high hit rate at fifty meters.

The soldiers next to him were hit in the eye, a cloud of dirty blood sprayed on his face, and the hot and greasy feeling finally broke Park Jiyin's courage. This Goryeo general, dressed like a Ming Dynasty general, turned around and ran. The previous spirit and the sense of sages have all disappeared. His escape caused a squad to collapse, and after nearly half an hour of fighting, the Goryeo Bird Gun Team, which was already on the verge of collapse, was like a flood that burst its embankment, and collapsed uncontrollably.

Park Zhiyin, who was the first to run, did not expect something to happen, and a Houjin soldier rode forward on horseback, and the big knife in his hand was fierce, and Fu Na and the moment of the spinning source flashed like a hoof

The continuous cavalry killings failed to stop the rout of the scattered Goryeo guns. The previous shooting was too cruel, and the scene of countless comrades-in-arms falling beside them destroyed the courage and will to fight of these soldiers.

Yue Tuo could only reluctantly order a retreat, and stopped at a distance of five hundred meters to reorganize the next wave of attacks. Before the second attack began, Yue Tuo called the commander of the Bird Gun Soldiers and said to him gloomily: "General Li, if you can't control your soldiers to continue fighting, I don't mind cutting off your head to sit on a stool. ”

Commander Li shuddered, when Amin conquered Korea, he did not do anything to slaughter the city. Houjin's brutality has never been just words.

"I know, please rest assured, Lord Belle, I will definitely fight with my men to the end."

Before the second attack, Houjin's Hongyi cannon rang out first. Debris rained down on the city, and a large general's cannon was hit, and one soldier was killed on the spot. The artillery fire at the head of the city returned fire, and the effect was very scummy, except for some unlucky eggs who were hit, and Houjin's artillery did not have anything to do.

After half an hour of shelling, a section of the city wall was hit continuously and collapsed. Billowing smoke and dust rolled up, and a gap of less than five meters appeared. The people who were waiting behind the city immediately rushed up with sandbags to block this section of the wall. (To be continued......)
