Chapter 555: Grenadier (4)

The scouts hurriedly rushed to Haifeng, and Ling Jingyang then led the troops to speed up, and thousands of Ming troops carried all kinds of weapons to Haifeng City to kill.

Among them are He Zhen and Wu Daling, the two are eager for revenge, and they were beaten to the ground by the red-haired devils in the daytime battle, and lost more than half of their troops and equipment.

Thinking that they would find an opportunity to take revenge in the future, and they didn't want to take revenge the next day, the two looked at the direction of Haifeng City, and vowed to let the red-haired devils pay for their blood debts and let these alien devils die without a place to be buried.

The Ming army advanced very fast, and finally arrived at the red-haired devil's position before dawn.

He Zhen looked at it and was happy, didn't the devil just rest in his abandoned barracks and positions?

He asked Ling Jingyang to let them fight the vanguard, Ling Jingyang shook his head, he had a better plan, in the previous battle with the Fusang people, he captured a large number of bullets and rifles, as well as grenades and other advanced weapons.

This time the battle can be used to your heart's content, as long as you destroy the red-haired devils, you will be able to capture more advanced rifles, bullets, grenades and other weapons.

To this end, he recruited Xu Sheng, ordered the rifle platoon to be scattered on the left and right flanks of the red-haired devils, and fired non-stop to attract the firepower of the red-haired devils, and then the left battalion launched a strong attack from the middle and defeated the red-haired devils in one go.

Xu Sheng learned a lot of knowledge in the past two days, especially in commanding battles, learning from experienced veterans in the army.

This was the first time he commanded a frontal battle, he let out a breath, and then ordered the rifle platoon to enter the positions on both sides, and he personally came to the left battalion formation, ready to direct the left battalion to launch a surprise attack from the front.

Before the battle began, Ling Jingyang wanted He Zhen to give a combat order, so that his troops were in reserve, and the left battalion was killed in the enemy camp, and He Zhen's troops and horses quickly followed, maintaining the Ming army's wave attack on the red-haired devils.

He Zhen immediately straightened his chest and said to Ling Jingyang: "Dudu, at the end of tonight, I will not destroy the red-haired devil, and I will not be a man." ”

"Get down here and get ready for battle."

Ling Jingyang said to Wu Daling again: "How many artillery pieces are there?" ”

Wu Daling also answered him with confidence, as well as three red-clothed cannons and seven tiger squat cannons.

Ling Jingyang thought about it, there was only such a little artillery left, which could not cause much damage to the red-haired devil, but it could create a bigger movement, so that the red-haired devil thought that the Ming army's artillery was fierce.

He told Wu Daling what he meant, Wu Daling nodded again and again, and Ling Jingyang told him to remember not to expose the target easily, and to withdraw immediately after the shot.

Wu Dajing also knew that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and without meritorious service this time, what awaited him would never come out.

He returned to the artillery position and said to his subordinates: "I was beaten by the red-haired devil last night and became a grandson, this time the governor gave us a chance to take revenge, and cheered up Lao Tzu, even if there is only one cannon left, to bomb Lao Tzu to death." ”

The remaining gunners were not reconciled to be beaten into mud by the red-haired devils yesterday, and they were all in good spirits, determined to fight with the red-haired devils to the end.

The soldiers and horses of the Ming army were ready for battle, and Jackson and his men were still asleep, not feeling the coming battle in the slightest.

Zhao Tu in the city finally waited for the scout to come back to report, and the scout told him that the governor of Lingdu had led the troops to the battlefield, and launched a surprise attack before dawn, and the troops in the city and the main force were flanking the red-haired devils outside the city.

Zhao Tu was very resistant to fighting with Ling Jingyang in his heart, but when he thought of what the red-haired devil did in Lufeng City, there were only a few people left who killed the entire Lufeng City.

How could he swallow this breath?

He summoned his generals and told everyone that the governor was outside the city, and that he would attack at dawn, and asked his subordinates not to disgrace him, and to go out of the city with him to kill the enemy.

However, at this time, the generals showed timid expressions, although they won the battle last night, but after the battle ended, the generals found that they had lost half of their soldiers and horses, but they had only killed more than 100 red-haired devils.

They also seized a small number of rifles and grenades in the city, and after a blind exercise, they saw the power of rifles and grenades, which were almost epoch-making weapons, not only the generals, but also the soldiers were afraid of war.

Seeing that his subordinates were all cowards, Zhao Tu was furious and scolded: "A group of cowards, Lao Tzu told you that the governor is outside the city, whoever doesn't go out of the city today, Lao Tzu will cut who first?" ”

Under his forcible order, the Ming soldiers in the city were forced to assemble, and many Ming soldiers were afraid of being killed, so they deliberately wore two layers of armor, and some Ming soldiers wore two helmets, which looked nondescript.

Zhao Tu couldn't say anything about the performance of the soldiers, after all, the red-haired devil's weapon was too powerful, and he ordered the troops to remain silent and wait for the battle outside the city to start.

Before dawn, most of the grenadiers were still sleeping, and this was also the time when the human body was most tired, Ling Jingyang saw the right time and led the army to launch a surprise attack.

Before the raid, the riflemen opened fire first, firing fifty rifles at the same time, and the sound of gunfire streaked across the night sky, waking up the sleeping grenadiers and Jackson.

Jackson's eyes blinked when he heard this kind of gunshot, and he had the impression that the Ming army did not seem to have this kind of weapon, and this was not the sound of the old Ming army.

After thinking about it for a while, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed that it was the Fusang people, only the Fusang people had this kind of weapon, and the Fusang people also had artillery, and he had to rush up to fight the Fusang army to avoid being defeated by the Fuso army's artillery fire.

He hurriedly got up from the ground and ordered all the soldiers of the army not to hide in the camp and rush up to him.

Ling Jingyang originally wanted the rifle platoon to attract the firepower of the red-haired devils, but when the guns rang out, the red-haired devils thought they were Fusang, and before the Ming army launched a surprise attack from the front, the red-haired devils actually launched an attack on both sides of the position with rifles.

He immediately changed his tactics and ordered the rifle platoon to withdraw from the battle, ordering Xu Sheng to lead the left battalion troops into the right side of the position, and He Zhen's troops to enter the left side of the position.

The two armies lurked quietly, waiting for the red-haired ghost to rush over and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the red-haired devil.

Jackson led the grenadiers to attack the Ming position, on the offensive road, the rifle platoon fired sporadically, causing a small number of casualties to the grenadiers, the grenadiers did not retreat, they still rushed wildly, and finally rushed to the left and right sides of the position, thinking that there were Fusang soldiers here.

What caught your eye was not the Fusang soldiers, but the Ming army, which was more numerous than them.

Jackson saw the Ming army attacking from different directions, he pulled out his pistol, shot a few shots at the Ming army, and shot the bullets in the pistol in one go, killing several Ming soldiers.

Other grenadiers also opened fire on the Ming troops, and after a burst of gunfire, the Ming troops who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another.

The Ming army was not a bad breed, the soldiers in front were knocked down, the soldiers of the Ming army in the back continued to rush forward, the soldiers in the back used bows and arrows to shoot, and the Ming army gunners standing on the commanding heights fired wildly at the grenadiers.

The grenadiers were heavily damaged by the Ming army's bows and arrows and firearms, and then the Ming soldiers rushed up and fought with spears and spears.
