Chapter 303
Seeing smoke rising from the opposing position, a smile appeared on Dorgon's lips. It's no wonder that he and Fan Wencheng studied for three days and finally came up with such an idea.
In retrospect, it was a great idea. Li Xiao's army relied on the raindrops of cannonballs. Now the cannon is dumb, see what you do with Ben Belle Ye Fight.
Li Xiao shook off the dust on his body, but fortunately, the headquarters was six or seven hundred meters away from the artillery position. Otherwise, this command will have to be handed over. Take off your hat and keep beating it on your thighs.
"Oops! These days, everyone who plays with knives is so smart, and they can play artillery battles. Let people go and see, how are your artillery positions. Li Xiao sighed, there was no need to criticize Yuan Chonghuan at this time. After all, they had never experienced such a battle. In the past, I always heard that the lessons on the battlefield were all bought with blood. Now that I think about it, it's fucking true.
"Come back! You know that the Tartars will not shoot again? You're the commander, and that's your position. Continue to command the battle, so many of your staff officers are to be seen as flowers? "Li Xiao came back to Yuan Chonghuan, at this time, if the Jurchen Tartars fight again, it will be really brilliant.
"No!" Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth, he never expected that the enemy army would be so cunning.
But thinking about it, we should still be glad that Li Xiao left the rocket artillery in Jinzhou. Otherwise, just now I would have ordered rocket artillery to cover. When the rocket launchers are fired, the smoke and mortars are not comparable at all. The target is much more obvious than the mortar position.
Fan Wencheng fired three rows of guns, and the Mongol cavalry lay down on the ground. The horsewhip in Geritu's hand whipped the horse's butt desperately, and the bullets on the side of his ears "swished" and "swished" to fly. Now that Geritu is gone, he just wants to get out of this damn battlefield. Damn, the Jurchens don't play with bows and arrows and sabers, when did they play with firearms like the Han people. Damn, the firecrackers are still so powerful.
Damn, when I went back this time, I asked Li Xiao for some firearms to fill the façade.
The horse's ass was almost smashed, and finally I couldn't hear that deadly note in my ears. Ran back to the Black Mountain position and counted it, and this sortie lost a total of 793 people. His mother's 2,000 Mongolian men rushed out, and just sixty percent of them returned.
"The enemy artillery has been destroyed, attack at once, and do not give them time to breathe." Dolgon prepared to strike while the iron was hot and immediately capture the Montenegrin position in front.
"Huh!" Fan Wencheng's eyes were full of excitement, and he was full of frustration in his heart after Li Guanzhen's defeat last time. After going back, I carefully recalled the entire battle, except for the defeat in the attack on Li Guanzhen, the others can be described as invulnerable. Even if he attacked Li Guanzhen, he almost succeeded. If it weren't for the Ming cavalry arriving at the most critical moment, he would have been able to stand inside Liguan Town.
This is the first attack on Montenegro, which is an opportunity to show his face greatly. Dolgon tried to ensure that he was promoted to the banner capital of the Han army, and he wanted to use the blood of the Ming army to prove that Dolgon's vision was right.
"Woo......!" The sound of the horn sounded, and the Han Eight Banners, which were lying in ambush in the forest, rushed out like ants. In the distance, smoke and dust billowed from behind, and the cavalry infantry with two white flags began to rush towards the battlefield.
Horse-drawn carriages were galloping fast. Boxes of ammunition were sent to the artillery positions in the woods.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" “……!”
The artillery bombarded the main positions of Montenegro all the time, and there were not many mortar shells left. Now he can only rely on the Hongyi cannon to support the scene, and he found that as long as the elevation angle of the muzzle is increased, the cannonball will hit farther. Moreover, after the shell landed, because of the angle, it was able to hit the top of the fortifications, and if you were lucky, you could also hit the enemy behind the fortifications.
Watching one shell after another explode on his position, Li Xiao spat out a saliva full of earthy smell. Have all these people been so smart? The tactics are developing so fast that I can't get used to it.
It seems that last year, I could still abuse people with a cannon. Now it's the turn of the Eight Banners to abuse themselves with cannons!
Grandma's, feng shui takes turns, this fucking turn is too fast. How did these idiots, who only know how to fight on horseback, evolve so quickly.
The situation in the artillery position was very miserable, and the bastards still did not follow the regulations set by Li Xiao. In order to facilitate the collection of shells, the shells were stacked only a dozen meters away from the artillery position. As a result, the mortar position was completely engulfed when the shells were detonated.
Rubbing his forehead, Li Xiao didn't care about the loss of dozens of mortars. It's just an iron tube, it's nothing.
But the gunners were fed with shells, in other words, silver. Because he didn't obey his own orders, he disappeared in an instant. The sappers and civilians were rescuing, and Li Xiao felt that he couldn't dig out a few people.
Even if it is dug up, it is estimated that it is not a living person.
"Handsome ......!" Yuan Chonghuan's face was half blackened. "It's too dangerous here, you better go down. I promise to hold Montenegro! ”
"I said you were the commander, you commanded. But that doesn't include me, and my soldiers are going to face a tough battle. At this time, you told me to leave my soldiers and run to the rear? Do you want the morale of the army? Li Xiao glanced at Yuan Chonghuan and continued to hold the binoculars to look.
Yuan Chonghuan swallowed his saliva, was stunned for a moment and ran back to continue to command the troops to enter the position.
Today, Li Xiao does not intend to interfere with Yuan Chonghuan, the mortar gunner is fed by shells, so the commander is fed with human life. It is only a matter of spending money to train a gunner, but sometimes you have to give up your life to train a commander. In the future, the team will be bigger, and the battlefield will be broader. It was impossible for Li Xiao to be present on every battlefield, and the role of the generals was highlighted.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the Han army began to approach the Montenegrin position.
Cao Wenzhao spat and held a single-shot rifle in his hand. Cao Wenzhao likes this thing, although it takes a bullet to shoot a shot. But compared to the breech-loading firecracker, it is much more convenient. The copper-cased bullet is shoved into the chamber, and the bolt is closed and the trigger is pulled.
"Listen to Lao Tzu fucking well, and put people close to fight. Without Lao Tzu's order, who the fuck shot Lao Tzu gave him a bowl with a big scar. The whole position remembered Cao Wenzhao's broken gong voice.
"Push those things up!" Cao Wenzhao gave an order, and his guard squad worked in groups of two to lift four cast iron balls with a diameter of half a meter onto the trench with a pole.
"Hey, hey! Taste my old Cao's awesomeness! Cao Wenzhao sneered and looked at the dense array of Han Army flag soldiers below.
"Light the fire, put it!" With Cao Wenzhao's order, the soldiers of the guard squad immediately lit the fuse. The iron ball rolled down the dirt slope, and at first it was just a slow roll. As the potential energy increases, the sparkling iron ball rolls faster and faster.
"Dang!" The iron ball hit a stone, and the iron ball actually flew up due to the too much potential energy.
The neatly standing Han military flag howled and dispersed.
A big iron ball with a diameter of half a meter, this thing really smashed down the iron Arhat also has to drink a pot. Not to mention the flesh and blood of the great living beings!
"Poof!" The big iron ball that flew up smashed into the earth, and although it continued to roll under the effect of potential energy, the speed was much slower.
Seeing the sparks flying around, the soldiers of the Han Army Banner wanted to run like crazy. Can...... It's too late!
"Boom!" A large iron ball with a diameter of half a meter exploded at once, and countless shrapnel and marbles scattered in all directions. A square of 100 people was engulfed in an instant.
The explosion was only powerful, and even Cao Wenzhao was surprised. He got so many big iron balls because he often used rolling wood and stones when defending the city. Now that there is gunpowder, it is natural that there will be stuffed rolling wood and stones.
Originally, I just thought that if I didn't kill someone, I could kill a few. But the explosive power of this thing is too fucking big. A team of 100 disappeared before his eyes, not already blown to pieces. It's just rolling and howling on the ground with blood all over his body.
If you can stand up one by one, it will be green smoke on the ancestral grave.
Four big iron balls smashed down, and the two centurians disappeared. Fan Wencheng's eyelids jumped when he saw it, the big iron ball with stuffing was so simple and rude, but the effect was surprisingly scary.
"Order, bombard that place." Dorgon lowered his binoculars and pointed with his horsewhip. The herald with the flag behind him ran into the woods!
didn't fire a shot, Cao Wenzhao was still stupid. The shells whizzed and smashed into the position, and there were stupid soldiers who didn't know how to avoid the artillery. I saw the shells falling outside the trench, and I didn't know how to squat inside the trench.
As a result, the shell exploded, although it was not hit by shrapnel. But the impact of the explosion shocked them to vomit blood, and several fools who were close were directly shocked to death.
"Fuck, squatting in the trenches." The broken gong sounded again, but Cao Wenzhao's big voice roared out. Completely drowned out by the explosion of shells, including himself, he could not hear his own roar.
Some of the soldiers were stunned by the bombing, threw down their guns and ran back.
"Don't run!" A cannonball exploded nearby, and the air wave choked Cao Wenzhao's words into his stomach.
His chest was very tight, and his eyes were a little dark. Cao Wenzhao had to squat down, holding on to the wooden support of the trench for a while before relieving himself.
When I looked up, none of the fleeing soldiers could stand. They were all shredded by shrapnel, and their clothes and hands and feet were everywhere. As soon as the intestines were hung, they were placed five or six steps away from Cao Wenzhao.
"Company commander, the Tartars are coming up." The herald grabbed Cao Wenzhao's arm and shouted.
Cao Wenzhao could only see his mouth open and close, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. The herald pulled Cao Wenzhao's arm tightly and pointed to the two Han Army Banner 100 teams below who had begun to climb the mountain again.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the two centurians had climbed halfway up the mountain. It is more than 100 meters away from the position.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't fucking hold the fire." Cao Wenzhao roared, but he still couldn't hear his own roar. The herald was speechless, what you just shouted, you are going to cut off your head if you shoot without your order.
"Bang!" Cao Wenzhao fired a shot, and crackling gunfire immediately rang out on the battlefield.
Cao Wenzhao put a gun here, and the Han army flag on the opposite side also began to release guns. However, the people on Cao Wenzhao's side all hid in the trenches and put guns. And they don't have to put the barrel up and put it inside with a strip when they load the bullet.
The less exposed the area, the smaller the chance of being shot. As a result of the shooting, the Han army flags fell in rows, but few people on Cao Wenzhao's side were shot.
