Chapter 476: Liao Dongfeng Dongfeng Cloud (17)
In the dense artillery fire, the people with shields on their heads suddenly fell into a large area, and the people with organic spirits took advantage of the situation to lie on the ground, screamed, faked their deaths, and even worse, hid behind rocks and tree stumps and pretended to be dead and begged for their lives, of course, more people were still driven forward and squeezed.
On the hillside, there are stumbling figures everywhere, people are crowded, and many people who lie down and pretend to be dead are trampled to death like this.
"Bah, Bah, Bah......!"
During the shelling, the crackling sound of fire also rang out, and rows of people were hit by the guns or fell to the ground, convulsing and wailing, and the entire northern slope of Jiaoshan almost became a slaughterhouse, full of stumps and broken flesh, and shattered organs, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
The guns and artillery of the Jingbei Army only mechanically charged, ignited, and fired according to the usual training. They didn't even look at the people they had killed, because they didn't dare to look.
"The musketeers and archers spread out to the left and right wings, looking for cover to shoot Lao Tzu, and if the hell is so high that the cannon is not fired, aren't the people of the North Wing City the Dingkou of our Guanning?"
Guo Yunlong, who supervised the attack on the mountain, quickly judged the deployment of the Jingbei Army on the mountain through the direction of the Jingbei Army's artillery and firearms, and issued a military order with a scolding and scolding.
"Whoa......!"
The Guanning army gunners and archers who went up the mountain behind the people scattered to the left and right flanks like a general amnesty under the leadership of their own hundred households, the firepower of the Shandong army was too strong, and there was a condescending advantage, and nearly 100 people were lost in this small meeting, which made them look at the corpses spread all over the ground, not afraid but happy, glad that they were hiding behind them.
Guo Yunlong's calculation was very accurate, he used the situation that the people were still attracting the firepower of the Jingbei army, quickly completed the deployment, formed a confrontation situation, and then relied on the fire cover of the firepower of the firefighters and archers to fight to the death with the Jingbei army on the mountain.
"The Shandong army uses a three-stage shooting method, non-stop shooting, according to Ben Shuai's estimates, they have more than three queues, the guns are very fast and dense, but their guns seem to be stronger than ours, the weather is very cold, at least more than ten rounds can be shot, unlike our guns, shoot five or six times to stop and cool, otherwise the guns are too hot to fit in, but no matter how good his weapons are, there will be a pause. In addition, the same is true of the artillery on the mountain, the commander estimates that after about 20 shots, the artillery of the Shandong army will stop, I estimate that this is cooling the barrel, but this is the key to our victory. ”
At the foot of Jiaoshan, Wu Sangui, who has been presiding over the overall situation in Shanhaiguan, came to the mountain at some point, and behind him were hundreds of artillery pieces that had just been transferred from the main city of Shanhaiguan, accompanied by Azige, the king of Wuying County of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, and He Luohui, the king of the Yellow Banner Gushan.
"What Mr. Wu said is that the Ming army has indeed stopped." Azig has been in battle for a long time, and he can also judge the military situation that Wu Sangui can judge.
He Luohui nodded, laughed hehehe, and said quite proudly: "No matter how strong the firepower of the Shandong army is, with Wu Zongzhen and King Wuying presiding over the overall situation, An Neng is undefeated?" ”
"Pass the order, all the artillery arrive at the foot of the mountain, adjust the muzzle, the Shandong army artillery fire twenty rounds, immediately open fire, do not save firepower, be sure to send all the artillery into the fortifications of the Shandong army."
Wu Sangui issued a military order with an expressionless face, he has been unwilling to use artillery in the past few days to attack the mountain, just to surprise the Jingbei Army, in fact, the Guanning Army is not famous for cavalry warfare, the most important troops of the Guanning Army are artillery and firecrackers.
A battalion of vehicles and artillery of the Guanning Army also had 2,000 soldiers, but the Guanning Army mainly emphasized firepower rather than the ability to fight hand-to-hand in close combat like the Mandarin Duck and White Pole soldiers of the Jingbei Army.
A battalion of vehicles and artillery is equipped with 300 combat vehicles of various types and 90 cannons.
The smallest of these cannons was a tiger squat cannon weighing seven or eight pounds.
The largest is the Hongyi cannon weighing 3,000 to 4,000 catties.
Each artillery battalion is also equipped with more than 1,100 three-eyed, five-eyed, and seven-eyed firearms, and 152 bird-eyed guns.
In addition, each artillery battalion was equipped with 500 shields to protect the gunners and gunners...... Of course, there is no such bargain as the spear used by the Jingbei Army.
There are about ten battalions in Wu Sangui's hands for such a car and artillery battalion, and these weapons and equipment are the results of the Liaodong army leaders constantly lying on the body of the Ming Dynasty and sucking flesh and blood.
"Well, after the cannon of the Guanning army rang out, let Du Lei also bring people to this king to rush up, so that he doesn't care about casualties, and he must take Jiaoshan today."
The puppet Qing Wuying County King Azig looked at the large and small artillery launched by the Guanning Army, his eyes were hot, he knew that the Guanning Army was rich, but he didn't expect that after capturing more than 4,000 artillery pieces in Jinzhou, Wu Sangui still had such a solid family background, of course, since Wu Sangui no longer kept his hands, he couldn't say anything about preserving his strength, and immediately ordered He Luohui to inform Du Lei to prepare.
On the hillside, the young men who were recruited were finally killed and wounded under the intensive firepower, and only a few people who hid behind boulders and big trees and pretended to be dead survived, but the archers and firecrackers of the Guanning Army who went up the mountain chose a position where they could shoot at this time, and stared at the banner of the Jingbei Army on the mountain with hatred one by one, and the death of more than a thousand Guanning families made them full of hatred, and they did not dare to hate Wu Sangui, but they put the seeds of hatred on the Jingbei Army.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
After a long wait, all the artillery of the Guanning Army was finally fired, and the gunners of the Guanning Army who operated the Tiger Squat Cannon even carried the small cannons and rushed towards the hillside, intending to find favorable terrain on the northern slope of Jiaoshan Mountain for close shooting.
Dense artillery smashed like raindrops inside and outside the Jingbei military fortifications, everywhere were smashed by the artillery rocks and mud, the simple wooden fence on the fortifications was even smashed in all directions, a few cannons even detonated a powder magazine in the fortifications, after a loud "boom" sound, dozens of Jingbei soldiers stationed near the gunpowder corps died on the spot, blood in their eyes, mouths, and noses flowed non-stop.
After the cannon of the Guanning army rang out, Gao Dejie, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately ordered the men and horses of the headquarters to launch an offensive on Jiaoshan, and the archers and gunners of the Guanning army, who had been deployed on the mountain, also began to attack the Jingbei army after the fortifications.
"Damn, hurry up and open fire on Lao Tzu, hurry up and open fire on Lao Tzu, Wu Sangui is here to work hard, quickly inform the Hongyi cannon deployed on the flank of Jiaoshan to turn the muzzle and bombard the artillery position of the Guanning army for Lao Tzu."
Jin Shengheng finally discovered the artillery position of the Guan Ning army with a clairvoyant mirror, the Guan Ning army really caught him off guard this time, he didn't expect Wu Sangui to be so enduring, even the artillery positions were hidden, and they were all pushed to the position until the general attack.
