Chapter 243: Filling the trench

At this time, Liu Zhuzi's western defense line was still shrouded in the fog of the battlefield.

Duoduo's use of livestock to consume ammunition is undoubtedly a very correct method, Liu Zhuzi had to kill these crazy livestock, these livestock are too many, enough to fill the trench, Liu Zhuzi has no other choice.

The explosion of mines and artillery projectiles was intensively concentrated to the highest degree, and the effect of mines was equivalent to disappearing. At this time, Jiannu's livestock came into the range of the musketeers, and the density of the artillery was still far from enough.

This is no longer something that mortars can solve, the mortar gunners are a little dazed, they can only watch the livestock that are getting closer and closer rushing closer and closer.

As Liu Zhuzi gave the order to fire, the fire guns began to fire, and the first time it was very neat, and the smoke of the battlefield became more and more intense.

"Shelling ~~ Continue shelling ~~"

Liu Zhuzi knew that a large number of Jiannu soldiers must be followed by these livestock, and his own defense line had become a breakthrough point for Jiannu, so he decisively ordered the gunners to continue the shelling. At the same time, signal flares, a kind of large fireworks, rose into the sky.

More than 1,000 musketeers were scattered on this one-mile-long front, still too few in number, too sparse for this long position, and although most of the soldiers were gathered at the point of attack of the livestock, it was evident that it could not prevent the cattle from wading most of the mines, and at the same time, some of the cattle rushing over rushed headlong into the trenches.

Livestock can't get over the trench, but the animals break the mines, and at the same time, these crazy animals make the trench shallower and shallower.

The rapid drumming did not stop, and the firecrackers were still firing their firearms at their own frequency. The shadow of the enemy appeared in Liu Zhuzi's clairvoyant mirror, and as far as the eye could see, these Jiannu soldiers wearing Ming army uniforms spread across the entire front.

Mortar projectiles were still rising into the air, and the projectiles of the giant cannon fell into the crowd and exploded, followed by more mortar projectiles exploding, these explosions were not insignificant, but these cannon fodder turned a blind eye to the flying fragments and death. It's like rushing to one, and the feast swarms.

The livestock faded away, the drumming stopped, and the musketeers stopped firing.

In the middle of the entire front, Zhou Huchen finally knew the breakthrough point of Duoduo. Zhou Huchen once again began to admire Duoduo's decisiveness, he was very experienced in battle, and he was able to make this attack in the shortest possible time, and Duoduo did not deserve his reputation as a famous general. Zhou Huchen only had more than 10,000 reserves left in his hands, and the helpless Zhou Huchen began to gather his family, if Jiannu broke through the trench, these brave warriors could just be used. Fortunately, there are 10,000 cavalry led by Liu Qi. These cavalrymen could just as fast as they could.

Liu Qi was the first to dispatch, and under the personal leadership of Zhou Huchen, about 20,000 foot soldiers and reinforcements quickly began to run eastward.

The enemy army was getting closer and closer, and Liu Zhuzi finally saw it more clearly, these cannon fodder were carrying shields, huge wooden shields, these huge shields were obviously newly made, and they also had white stubble. The wooden shield is thick and large. Jiannu obviously wanted these giant shields to replace the role of the shield cart.

Although the enemy army has not yet entered the range of the firearms, these heavy shields make Liu Zhuzi feel in danger.

"The gunner is aimed at the shield man in front!"

Although Liu Zhuzi's voice was loud, the sound of the battlefield was even louder, and his own soldiers had to run over and tell those gunners to pay attention to the targets one by one.

The battlefield is chaotic. The scattered smoke and smoke of gunpowder made it difficult for the gunner to shoot only by relying on judgment. Although many cannon fodder were made into real cannon fodder, it was impossible to stop such a large-scale attack. The enemy's foot soldiers are getting faster and faster, and they are about to enter the range of the firearms.

The drums beat again.

The defender of the eastern flank of Liu Zhuzi's defense line was the guerrilla general Guo Ziqing, who also saw this situation on the western side. But Guo Ziqing couldn't respond. His strength is about the same as Liu Zhuzi's, and his weapons are no different, and most importantly, Guo Ziqing's defense line has also been strongly attacked, although he knows that this is a containment made by Jiannu, but Guo Ziqing can only choose to wait and deal with Jiannu.

Although the losses were not small, Jiannu's infantry finally passed through the coverage area of the mortars, the mortars were still too few, and the battle line was too long to stop such a large-scale attack, and Jiannu's infantry entered the range of the firearms.

The drums of war hurried, and the sound of popping beans sounded instantly.

The armor bullets were very powerful, and people were constantly falling, but Jiannu's heavy shield obviously played a role, and the armor bullets couldn't penetrate at this distance.

Jiannu's soldiers were approaching, and the casualties were increasing as the distance approached, but these cannon fodder were able to ignore these dead and wounded, and ignore the terrifying projectiles that were still passing overhead, and this bravery made Liu Zhuzi's pressure more and more.

Can't understand that these people are those who surrendered, Liu Zhuzi doesn't understand, these people weishenme have become so brave, where did their cowardice go in the past?

The musketeers still shoot at their own frequency, and the loaders behind them are doing their jobs like machines, but the distance of the enemy forces is getting closer and closer, and the density of the barrage is not enough, and the muddy water battle has caused a lot of damage to Zhou Huchen's musketeers, which has caused heavy losses to the combination of the musketeers, and now, this damage has been exposed.

"Grenadier ready!" Liu Zhuzi's face was already dark, and this order made his face look a little terrifying.

The enemy army is closer, not far from the trench, even the enemy troops with thick shields are constantly falling, after all, the armor bullet is the armor bullet, and its power is still revealed.

At this time, the lookout on the lookout platform behind Liu Zhuzi desperately began to wave the flag.

The enemy finally approached the trench, and the whole platoon of grenadiers was ready, and they quickly struck the small round shield, and the grenades flew out in the rain.

The combination of armor bullets and grenades was terrifying, and in a cloud of smoke and dust, the enemy's advance was noticeably sluggish.

The grenadiers did not stop, the musketeers did not stop, the projectiles were still pouring, the grenades were still being thrown.

The huge smoke and dust made Liu Zhuzi no longer see the situation outside the trench, and at this time, a crowd suddenly appeared on the left side of Liu Zhuzi, and in the blink of an eye, these Jiannu soldiers bravely rushed to the front of the trench. Under the watchful eye of the Ming soldiers, these Jiannu soldiers began to throw something into the trench.

It's dirt bags, dirt bags.

The Kennu was to fill the trench with dirt bags, and the combination of the firecrackers had already done their best, and the reloading speed could not be faster, and there was nothing that could be done about this situation due to the quantity. The grenadiers did not hesitate, and countless grenades rained down on these Jiannu.

What does it mean to go forward and follow, and now is.

The sound of the explosion drowned out all the screams, and the herald who ran to Liu Zhuzi's side could only start shouting into Liu Zhuzi's ears.

The enemy army has gone completely crazy, and Liu Zhuzi has understood that Weishenme's newly attached Han army dares to be so brave, because behind them are all knives, and it is the war knives of the Jiannu Eight Banners that force them to advance. After the death of these cannon fodder, it will be those soldiers of the Eight Banners who continue to rush up, filling the trenches to pave the way for their own cavalry, which is the reason for the madness.

The news reported by the herald to Liu Zhuzi made his heart sink, and behind Jiannu's foot soldiers were cavalry, no less than 20,000 cavalry. The Jiannu fought really well, first using livestock to wade through the mines and consume their own ammunition, and then these Jiannu foot soldiers quickly followed, and there was no doubt that these Jiannu pioneers would fill a trench, zuihou, and rush through the trench with a strong cavalry legion.

Jiannu's tactics were very correct, and Liu Zhuzi knew that his defense line was about to be in danger.

Three fireworks rose into the air at the same time, this was the most urgent signal for Zhou Huchen to deploy his army for help, Liu Zhuzi could only do this, what he needed now was to do his best to block the enemy's attack.

Death can't stop madness, and the madness of these Jiannu soldiers is so shocking that the effect is also visible, in addition to the earthen bags thrown into the trenches, many Jiannu soldiers began to push forward the corpses of the dead cannon fodder

These Jiannu soldiers were undoubtedly brave warriors, but they were also tragic warriors, and the projectiles and grenades of the firecrackers would not abandon their mission because of their bravery. In addition to filling trenches, corpses can also be used as shields, and the madness of the Jiannu soldiers has reached the extreme.

The mortar fired again, and after the roar of the mortar, the two huge cannons also roared, and the cavalry of Jiannu began to move.

With a large number of livestock in the trenches, and bags of earth and corpses falling in, the trenches, which were not particularly deep, are now showing signs of being filled.

Liu Zhuzi kept roaring, he was cheering up his soldiers with his roar, although this roar was almost unheard on the battlefield, but it showed his anxiety.

The iron hooves shook the ground, and the front was already trembling. (To be continued......)
