Chapter 115: Assault 2
The cannon fodder infantry of the Jin army once again let out an earth-shattering shout, carrying a shield, carrying a thick door panel, brandishing a sword, and launching a second attack on the Ming army camp.
During this period, the battle is still continuing, the drums of war rumble, earth-shattering, the two Jin army iron cavalry has been galloping around the camp, looking for a good opportunity to break the camp, both sides bow and arrow I musket, ping pong and pong are very happy.
On the surface, the Jin Army's iron cavalry attacked, and the wolf soldiers defended passively, but every time the Jin Army Iron Cavalry tried to break the camp, they were met with wolf soldiers' muskets, and the brave and fearless Jin Army warriors once rushed to the camp fence, but they were greeted by the wolf soldiers with melee killer grenades, and they all fell to the ground in a pool of blood, with dead and wounded, and the Huang Taiji and a group of princes and nobles were in pain.
Although all the people of the Serbs are soldiers, the number of people is really small, one less to die, if you want to wait for a born child to grow into a warrior, it will take at least eighteen or twenty years, science and technology and medical care are backward, and you can die from a cold, the infant birth death rate is very high, and moreover, it is not a snap that can really create a villain, it depends on luck, and they are fighting outside all the year round, and there is not much time to snap a villain, and the casualties of the warriors who rush to the camp are quite large, who is not in pain?
In the modern musket duel against the sword and bow of cold weapons, the wolf soldiers who relied on the defense of the large battalion took advantage of it, and the casualties were only 100 people, and most of them were only slightly injured, and they could be back in the line of fire to fight with a little bandaging.
After a few waves of battles, the tension in the hearts of the wolf soldiers gradually weakened, and the legendary Jin Army Iron Cavalry with terrifying combat power was not bad, still with a head, two eyes and a mouth, and still lay down after eating the gun, and cried for help from his father, which bastard dared to say that the Jin Army Iron Horse was invincible in the future, and Lao Tzu beat him so much that he couldn't even recognize his own mother, hum.
The wolf soldiers were determined, their morale gradually increased, and the muskets were playing more and more slippery, and the cannon fodder infantry of the Jin Army just rushed to the command, and everyone was under the command of the officer, and the muskets in their hands were put into a cheerful manner, which was more lively and intense than setting off firecrackers during the New Year.
The cannon fodder infantry of the Jin army is still the front shield, carrying a thick door panel to charge, covering the archers behind to shoot arrows to suppress the wolf soldiers, this time, Huang Taiji also invested in the musketeers, but the number is not much, only more than 200 people, most of the muskets are allocated to Yue Tuo's partial division, the partial division is the real killing move, the main force is just to cooperate with the battle.
More than 200 musketeers of the Jin army shrank behind the shield soldiers and thick door panels, raised their guns and shot at the wolf soldier camp, and the same ping-pong was cheerful, but it was difficult to say the accuracy, more than 200 lead bullets, only a dozen wolf soldiers were shot, and most of the lead bullets did not know where to go.
The front-loading musket has to be loaded with gunpowder and projectiles standing up, without systematic training, the speed of loading ammunition is so slow that people vomit blood, one shot in two minutes is considered fast, when you are nervous, there are one shot in three minutes, don't look at the sound of gunfire ping pong is cheerful and intense, in fact, it does not pose any pressure on the wolf soldiers at all.
When the golden musketeers fired the third lead bullet and hurriedly loaded the ammunition, their luck also came to an end, and the rapid platoon of the wolf soldiers peeled off the shield soldiers in front of them and the golden soldiers carrying thick door panels like peeling onions, peeling off several layers, and finally revealing the musketeers and archers inside.
The pong-pong platoon of guns blasted in, and the musketeers and archers, who were nervously reloading their ammunition, fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood and screaming.
"Shieldmen, where are the shieldmen?" The officers shouted loudly and ordered the shieldmen to come forward to take cover, but their shouts were muffled by the rumbling of guns and the earth-shattering roar of killing.
"Shield...... Ah......h
Another round of ping-pong guns bombarded me, and the roaring officer fell with a scream, and the musketeers and archers around him also let out a terrible howl, and rushed to fall, and the ground was covered with corpses of various shapes and wounded soldiers struggling to cry out, and weapons and armor, broken shields, broken door panels, battle flags, etc. were thrown to the ground.
The pale-faced Huang Taiji once again ordered the third wave of attack, this time, the Jin army dispatched a block cart and a lot of carts, two thick door panels tied to the carts, and a wet quilt was stuffed in the middle, plus a lot of shield soldiers, forming a thick shield cart array, slowly pressing towards the camp of the wolf soldiers.
As was the old practice, the charging Jin army had to first cross the steel barrage constructed by the 20 Franc cannons, and some of the blocking cars and carts were hit by the flowering shells, the hulls of the cars were shattered, shrapnel and broken wood flew in all directions, and the nearby Jin soldiers fell with screams.
Because of the push of the block cart and the cart, the speed of the charge was much slower, and the time to enjoy the feast of flowering bombs was longer, and there were more casualties, but under the supervision of the supervising team, no one dared to turn around and flee back, and they all rushed forward until they rushed through the death blockade line constructed by the Franco machine gun, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Beat them up." Cao Bianjiao, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, clearly saw through his monoculars that a large number of blocking cars and carts were slowly pressing, and he was worried that the musketeers would not be able to bear it, so he immediately changed his mind and no longer let the artillery carry out the blocking bombardment, but instead beat the advancing blocking carts and carts in a large array.
"Yes."
The artillery commander made Huang Xiaobo salute happily, and kicked the herald beside him, "What are you stunned, didn't you hear the young marshal's order?" Don't hurry up yet. ”
Two heralds flashed at the same time, one ran to the front to inform the artillery observer, and the other ran to the artillery position to inform the artillery to lower the muzzle elevation angle, during which the busiest were the heralds who ran around to convey orders or observations.
Twenty Franc machine guns quickly lowered the elevation angle of the artillery, fired a wave of flowering shells at the slowly pressing Jin army, and then lowered the elevation angle and continued to fire, and the flowering shells kept chasing the Jin soldiers and beating them fiercely.
The main reason why the wolf battalion failed to rush to Hongshankou in time for reinforcements was that the general Zhang Wanchun did not resist and surrendered directly, and another reason was that the marching speed was a little slow, and there was no way, dragging twenty heavy Franc machine guns, plus a large amount of ammunition, and he couldn't get up quickly.
Of course, slow also has the advantage of being slow, twenty Franc cannons are not a joke, and there is enough ammunition, a lot of squandering, at least enough to bombard for two or three days, I am afraid that the Jin army will not have so much cannon fodder to fill.
The flowering shells chased the Jin army like a long eye, blew down pieces of Jin soldiers, blew up one by one blocking cars and carts, and bombarded the Jin soldiers to cry and cry until they were pressed to the front of the formation, and entered the dead corner of the Franco's machine gun, which was considered temporary safety.
However, the golden soldiers who enjoyed the baptism of artillery fire had lost nearly half, and the remaining blocking carts and carts were only about 20 cars, they shrank behind the carts tremblingly, and slowly pushed forward, after entering the range of muskets, the wolf soldiers fired a round of guns, but the dregs of the battle were dregs, and only shot down a few golden soldiers holding shields, and the sturdy and thick blocking carts and carts blocked most of the lead bullets.
"Squat down in the front row, get ready to cover, and the grenadiers come forward."
The officers faithfully carried out the commander's orders, the soldiers faithfully carried out the officers' orders, and the musketeers in the first row crouched down in unison, guns in hand, ready to shoot.
Behind them, there were dozens of powerful young men, they didn't bring anything, they held a long-handled grenade in their right hand, and in their left hand they held a fire rope that had been lit, ready to drop the bomb, and the logistics auxiliary soldiers brought a box of handbox bullets and placed them beside them, the lid of the box was opened, the protective cover at the end of the bullet handle was unscrewed, and the bombardier only needed to bend down and grab the grenade to ignite and throw.
"Bombardier, prepare, drop."
With the officer's order, dozens of bombardiers lit the fuse and threw the grenade with all their might.
