And the padded car is really practical. Its general function is to break through the solid infantry formation, when the infantry team is lined up, if the cavalry wants to capture it, it will take a lot of effort, but also to bear a lot of casualties, so if you want to fight quickly, it is also directly the foot soldiers push the cart and rush over, directly into the opponent's array. When the formation is messed up, it will be defeated again.

However, at this time, the Qing army's use of the oars was just right, just enough to prevent the fire shots of the calligraphy and ink department on the mountain. So Shumo could only watch the Qing army approach step by step.

At six or seven hundred paces from the foot of the mountain, the Qing army began to divide its troops, and the last two rows of carts turned south under the leadership of Liu Shun, and they were to set up positions about 1,000 paces southwest of the hill to block the reinforcements of the Runing army.

Zhang Liang led more than 3,000 soldiers of the Han army and 500 Korean gunners, followed behind the three rows of carts, towards the hill occupied by Shumo.

The Qing army's oars were erected in front of a large gate board, and behind the door panel, thick sandbags were piled up. There is an observation hole in the door panel of the car, and behind it is a simple frame and wooden wheels, and there are no planks on the frame, so it is completely convenient for people to push the car.

In general, this clumsy and ridiculous-looking weapon can withstand the fire of almost all firearms and bows and arrows. But this does not include artillery. So when the cart was still three or four hundred paces from the foot of the mountain, the artillery on the hill opened fire.

Three three-pound shells and six one-pound shells flew out of the chamber with a loud bang. It's just too easy to hit. The arrangement of the oars is quite close, and it is a big target in the eyes of the artillerymen, and the speed of movement is not fast, and it is moving towards the muzzle, which is almost hitting a fixed target, so these gunners of the Runing Army feel it. Shooting now is even easier than it was during training.

Three three-pound shells flew over, that is, the bullets were not missing, and a total of four oars were broken, one of which was lucky, and also broke the front and rear two at the same time, so that they hid behind the oars and hid the Han army flag foot soldiers were chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the screams were loud.

A six-shot one-pound gun is less effective. But one was also broken. The rest of the shells slammed into the gate panel, and the shattered sand and wood chips flew backwards at high speed, causing heavy casualties to the Han soldiers hiding behind.

In the middle of the first row of oars, a large gap was immediately opened by artillery. The carriage in the back row was also in a panic, and when he saw this situation, Zhang Liang, who was in the back, hurriedly shouted: "You must not retreat, the military law of the Qing Dynasty is to retreat and behead, and even your family members are slaves." Speed up a little and keep rushing. If you get close, you can't hit the artillery. ”

The speed of the oars is obviously faster, and the rear rows of the loafers also fill the gap in the first row. The soldiers of the Han army banner pushed the cart with the strength of milk. It's like a zuihou sprint when you rush into battle. These soldiers are also experienced in many battles. They knew that the artillery at that time had a long time to reload, so it was necessary to seize the time to push the cart and rush into the firing corner of the artillery.

However, the gunners of the Runing Army had a high level of training, and their guns had been strictly manufactured and inspected by the Workshop Division, so they were quickly loaded with ammunition.

And as the array of lugs approached, the targets of those lugs became even greater. Without even aiming, the gunner could easily shoot at the car. Pushing the cart and hiding behind the cart, the banner soldiers of the Han army, they thought that with this vehicle cover, they could make themselves safer. I didn't expect it to become meat on the chopping board now, and there was nowhere to escape from the artillery of the Runing Army, because the space behind the cart was too narrow.

Although the gunners of the Runing Army were fighting happily, Shumo was frowning. As a commander, he can't just look at the front like a soldier, he has to think about the whole battle.

Although the artillery of the Runing Army was almost completely empty, the number was indeed too small. Moreover, the shooting from top to bottom caused the dead angle of artillery firing to be extended, and as long as the Qing army rushed into a distance of 100 steps from the foot of the mountain, it would be difficult for the artillery to shoot at these oars.

Another point is that although the one-pound artillery also caused a large number of casualties among the Qing army, from the perspective of Shumo, it is impossible to observe the movement behind the cart. He only saw that those small cannonballs hit the front door panel of the cart was splashed with sawdust, but it couldn't break those carts, and he didn't know that the flying sawdust caused a large number of casualties to the Han army flag soldiers behind the cart, so Shumo felt that the one-pound artillery shooting effect was not good.

So Shumo immediately ordered: "Stop firing one-pound guns, modify shotguns, lower the muzzle of the cannons, and prepare for the Tartars to attack the mountain." ”

The three-pounder gun is difficult to adjust because it is too heavy, that is, the one-pounder gun can raise the tail of the gun in a short time, so after listening to Shumo's order, the gunners of the one-pounder gun immediately became busy. But as a result, the density of artillery firing of the Runing Army was greatly reduced, which restored the morale of the Han Army flag soldiers behind the cart a lot.

And Zhang Liang was still shouting in the back: "The cannon of the Han dog is broken!" Brothers, hurry up! Therefore, with Zhang Liang's shouting, many soldiers of the Han Army Banner rushed behind the cart to help, and with their joint efforts, the speed of the cart was further improved.

Soon, the front and rear rows of oars rushed into the dead end, and seeing that the firing of the three-pounder cannon had no effect, Shumo made a gesture to stop them, and then said to the commander of the infantry regiment: "Prepare for battle!" ”

So the artillerymen began to pack up the artillery. When they used the wet mop to reason with the breech, the muzzle of the gun actually "sizzled" with water vapor, which shows how happy these artillery guns of the Runing Army shot happily.

No matter how gentle the slope is, it is obviously not possible to push the cart up. So the soldiers of the Han army banner pushed the cart to the bottom of the slope, first formed a wall to cover themselves, and then rushed out directly from the back of the cart, regardless of the top of the slope.

Just now, they were under the artillery fire of the Runing Army but they had no ability to fight back, which made these people suffocate a long time ago, so they didn't care about the formation at this time, they only knew that they rushed to the top of the slope in a swarm, so they thought about hand-to-hand combat with the Runing Army earlier, and they came out of this evil breath first.

The bottom of the slope is a distance of one hundred and fifty steps from the top of the slope, and the bushes in the middle are also sparsely pulled, so it does not form any obstacles, so it only takes a few dozen sucks to rush there.

But the results are predictable. The round of gunfire was repulsed, and the cannon that approached the last pound was another round of shotguns, quite simply, after losing the corpses on the ground, this round of charging was repulsed, and it also cleared the minds of the Han flag soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang immediately ordered the soldiers around him: "Quickly call the commander of the North Korean firecracker." (To be continued......)
