068 Meat Shield
Bang bang bang ~~~
"The Taiping Army is counterattacking, everyone copy the guys, these Taiping Tatars are very murderous, even if they are caught, even if they are not killed, they will be used as cannon fodder to be pulled to the front line to die!"
The Polish soldiers, who were enjoying the women of the same race in the original Taiping Army's 'what camp', heard the approaching gunshots, whether they were ...... Or is it just beginning...... The Polish soldiers, one by one, quickly got up and put on their clothes, picked up the weapons that were placed on the side, and climbed to the upper room and the window on the first floor.
As the Taiping Army's 'what camp', in order to facilitate management and that, the Taiping Army changed several two-story buildings with a large area into warehouse-like locations, the second floor retains the original rooms, as the welfare of officers, and the first floor is the main living ground for Polish women, which is large enough to bear a large number of soldiers stationed and defended.
Coupled with the proximity of these complexes, a large number of Polish soldiers who had rushed to line up could have taken cover with muskets alternately and killed the Taiping soldiers who were attacking from the streets.
It can be said that this area is the best place to defend in Beshev Town, except for the town center, but because of the particularity of this place, the Taiping Army musketeers did not think of using it, and only handed it over to the relatives of Polish traitors and Polish women to defend, and it was easily taken by Polish soldiers and turned into a battlefield ......
After capturing General Krysztof alive, the Polish soldiers, who had already suffered heavy losses and were demoralized, were soon counterattacked by the Taiping army, who were small in number but not afraid of death, and although the fighting in the town had not stopped, the nature had been completely reversed.
The Polish army's occupation of the small town of Beshew completely lost its command system, and the Polish soldiers who could run fled one by one, but because of the difficulty of communication between the Polish troops scattered into the small town of Beshew, the Polish soldiers who knew the news that General Krysztof was captured alive only cared about fleeing for their own lives, and no one specially informed them, so many Polish soldiers who realized it later were directly surrounded by the Taiping sergeants who counterattacked in the neighborhood and houses.
Of course, the Polish soldiers who were enjoying themselves in 'that camp' became the most unresponsive, and their news was also the most closed, until the soldiers of the Taiping counterattack came over, and they suddenly learned about the battle situation in the small town of Beshev!
However, due to the large number of Polish soldiers gathered in the 'what camp', and the Taiping army's treatment of prisoners of war and civilians was too harsh, these Polish soldiers under the command of the small leader had no intention of surrendering at all, and even relied on the construction of houses to fight with the Taiping musketeers.
The Taiping soldiers suffered so many casualties in this battle that they could not gather many troops for a while, and the number of besieged soldiers was even much smaller than the Polish soldiers in the houses!
If this amount of troops were placed in the field, the Taiping soldiers might still be able to rely on morale and the fear of death of the Polish soldiers to crush the opponent, but it would be a little difficult to break through the Polish troops that occupied the defensive advantage of houses and buildings, although these Polish soldiers had little will to fight, but their combat ability was still good.
After the sudden attack failed, Zhao Yan, the only surviving commander of the Taiping army besieging this complex, walked around the complex and coldly ordered: "Light a fire, use the wind to ignite those buildings, and smoke out the shrinking Poles inside!" ”
The success of the Taiping melee in other counteroffensive directions was mainly due to the fact that a large number of wooden houses were set on fire during the previous Polish attack, which made it convenient for the attackers to break through the Taiping army's defensive strongholds, and naturally made the counterattacked Polish soldiers have no houses to defend and were chased and killed by the autumn wind like falling leaves.
As a result, the few remaining well-preserved houses became 'fortresses' for the Poles to resist.
The surviving two horses beside Zhao Remnant asked with hesitant expressions: "My lord, there are still many Polish civilian women we collected before, if this fire breaks out, all the people inside will be finished." ”
Zhao Yan squinted at the two Simas, and said with a pale face: "What? Are you still reluctant to take the concubine inside? Or do you mean that you are a dignified and two-horse person, and you have been in love with the interracial woman inside for a long time?! ”
"Well, I didn't mean that, my lord, I just thought that doing so would stain the reputation of our Taiping Army, didn't Heavenly Father and Son always want to integrate the Polish nation for us? If Polish women and children were killed so indiscriminately, I am afraid it would be ......."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, the town of Beshev is now in ruins, and if we turn all the Polish soldiers inside into corpses, who will know that we did it?
The Poles had killed many of their countrymen when they entered the city, and they would not have cared about the hundreds of Polish women and children who had written on their heads.
Compared with the lives of hundreds of foreign women, I am more concerned about our own brothers, this complex garrisoned by Polish soldiers, if we attack it, even if we die hundreds of people, we may not be able to take it, Polish soldiers only need to shoot through the window in the house, and the Taiping brothers exposed to the streets will be killed and wounded!
Liang Sima, do you understand my orders? ”
Zhao Yan explained with a gloomy face.
After hearing this, the two Sima saluted the Taiping Army and ran to gather people to carry out Zhao Yan's order.
It didn't take long for these complexes to be affected by the raging fire, and some Polish soldiers who couldn't stand it were so smoked by the black smoke that they ran out of the complex on their own initiative, and then were mercilessly killed by the prepared Taiping Army musketeers!
The Polish soldiers squatting in the complex saw that the Taiping army didn't even mean to collect the prisoners, and they were in their hearts, shouting that they wanted to fight with the Taiping army, and then ......
They escorted unclothed Polish women in front of them as meat shields, completely abandoning the so-called humanity!
Because the bullet used in the musket of this era is a round lead pellet, after entering the body, it will be deformed and distorted and retained in the human body due to the impact of muscle fibers and human bones, and the penetration is very low.
This is one of the reasons why the pointed bullet was later invented.
Therefore, the human shield works very well in this era, much better than the iron shield or something!
When the Polish soldiers who realized that they could not garrison the house rushed out with the meat shields of the wailing, the Taiping Army musketeers who lined up in a shooting queue immediately shot together with the Polish women, and the Polish soldiers also relied on the layers of meat shields to shoot at each other in the crowd, but unfortunately, these Polish soldiers who were cornered only had the courage to fight hard, but they did not have the fighting qualities that soldiers should have......
Many of the Polish routs would rather turn around and be burned to death than be hit by lead bullets!
