Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Attack Is Frustrated

"Where is the Jiala's real Tong Yongchun, where is the stone tower!"

Looking at the chaotic rebel camp in the distance, Jin Li pressed the scabbard with his right hand and asked loudly.

"The last general!" Tong Yongchun and Shi Ta Ce immediately stepped forward and hugged their fists.

"Ben will order the two of you to lead the headquarters and 3,000 coats Aha to attack the thief camp!"

"The last general commands!" ×2

The two agreed again, and then led the 1,508 banner army under their command, and each ordered 3,000 coats to kill from the Qing army's formation.

Seeing that the Qing army stopped shelling and launched an attack, Su Yan immediately ordered the whole army to prepare to meet the enemy, and the soldiers hiding behind the trenches and chariots stood up one after another, either raising their guns flat, or sticking out of the shooting holes, aiming at the enemy coming from afar.

At the same time, the artillerymen on the gun emplacements also took action, they cleaned up the sand that had fallen into the barrel, poured gunpowder into it, dragged out the baggage containing the shotguns, and poured the shotguns into the barrels, and compacted them with rams.

Several artillerymen then worked together to push the gun forward, and shoveled away the mound of dirt in front of the muzzle, revealing enough space for firing.

Next, as long as the soldiers remove the wooden planks covering in front, the artillery can ignite and release the artillery, giving the Qing army a taste of what it means to scatter flowers!

In order to boost morale, Su Ci personally took a flintlock rifle and stood in the trench with the flintlock soldiers, he stared at the Qing army getting closer and closer, and shouted: "Raise your gun, listen to my orders, and prepare to shoot!" ”

Hmmm-

Under Su Ci's arrangement, those armed with flintlock rifles were arranged in the first line of trenches, while the soldiers armed with bird guns and bows and arrows stood behind chariots and wooden fences.

This arrangement was taken into account, placing the flintlock musketeers with a longer range in the front line, which allowed them to engage the Qing soldiers earlier, and when the Qing army approached and fell into the horse pit, the first-line soldiers could withdraw along the trenches in the through train formation, and when they retreated, the birdmen and archers deployed behind the chariots and wooden fences provided cover and cooperated with the artillery to attack the Qing army.

On the other hand, Jin Li did not forget the fact that the rebels had artillery in the intelligence, and while watching his subordinates attack, he was also observing the movements in the rebel camp, but until the Qing soldiers entered the range of 500 meters, he did not see the artillery of the rebels firing.

"Didn't the thieves pull the cannon?"

Jin Li thought suspiciously, and continued to watch the movement of the battlefield.

However, to be on the safe side, he ordered two of Niulu's cavalry to attack the rebel camp from the flank.

Two Niu Lu 600 cavalry quickly rushed out of the military formation, and ran to the flank of the rebel camp with the sound of earth-shattering horse hooves, and when they moved, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the trench in front of the rebel camp, followed by dense gunshots like bursting beans, and the gunsmoke immediately blocked the vision of the Qing army, and after the gunshot, dozens of people in the marching Qing army formation screamed and fell to the ground.

"This, as expected, is like the news given by the imperial court, the thief's firearm can indeed penetrate the armor within two hundred meters!" Jin Li was taken aback.

It was not only Jin Li who was surprised, but the advancing Qing army was also in shock, but the two Jia Lama Ezhen who led the army quickly reacted, drew their swords, and loudly ordered their subordinates to speed up the march, and let the lowly Bao Yi go to the front to resist the bullets for the banner people.

Participating in the attack, Bao Yi Aha was wearing only a trumpet coat, wearing a hat, carrying a waist knife and a shield in his hand, which was all the equipment on their bodies, and in the face of projectiles that could penetrate the armor, they could only put the shield in front of them in vain, praying that the shield could protect their lives.

However, the bullets had no eyes, and the flintlock musketeers in the trenches were ordered to fire freely after firing a volley, and after they had reloaded their guns, they raised their guns and fired again, and the projectiles flew more than a hundred meters and still pierced through the shield and into the thin body of the clothed Ahha.

As the Qing army advanced closer and closer, the casualties in Baoyi Aha also increased.

Soon, the steady stream of casualties shook the hearts of the Baoyi army and made them fearful.

In the chaos, a person in front of him was shot in the head by a stray bullet, the red and white viscous liquid flew out of the back of the person's head and splashed on his face, a few drops of the liquid that flew into his mouth The smell of the incomparably smelly made him retch, and the great fear also made him dare not step forward again, the death of the person in front of him was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and when he came back to his senses, his body had turned and fled uncontrollably.

Then, with a flash of the sword, an ugly head flew out of thin air, spurting blood and falling heavily to the ground.

"Those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!"

One of the banner men withdrew the long knife that was still dripping with blood, and shouted murderously at the other soldiers' shaken hearts, and the clothes who had the intention of fleeing glanced at the corpse that was still lying on the ground twitching slightly, swallowed saliva, and could only temporarily cut off the idea of retreating.

The two Jiala's foreheads were also worried that the lowly clothed slaves would not be able to withstand the early collapse, so they began to draw large cakes for the robbers, rewarding one or two pieces of silver for killing a thief, and ordered them to speed up the charge, as long as they rushed up to fight the thief in close combat, the thief's firearms could not threaten them.

The wrappers also realized this, and under the impetus of the reward, they mustered up the courage to shout and run, and the bannermen also followed behind them to speed up, and the archers among them were not idle, and immediately took their bows and arrows, and shot in the direction of the thieves over their comrades in front, but most of them shot in the air, and even if they were shot, they were bounced off by the armor on the spearmen.

"Kill!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty!"

Running and shouting, the morale of the Bao Yi people was slightly restored, but just when they rushed to a distance of only twenty meters from the trench, they could clearly see the black mole under the eyes of the enemy, and the Bao Yi who rushed to the front suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and before they could react, the whole person fell down heavily, and was directly cut into the heart by the sharp bamboo below!

For a time, nearly 100 people fell into the trap pit, in addition to the first to fall down on the spot and died, only a few people who fell down behind were lucky enough to fall on the body of the robe, survived, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief after the disaster, just crawled out of the trap pit, was shot in the head by the head-on bullet, and fell into the trap pit.

The sudden trap also made the momentum of the Qing army's charge stagnant, and it was like the last blow that broke the morale of the coats, they no longer had the will to continue the attack, and they turned around to flee, but they were cut down by dozens of people by the banner men who supervised the battle behind them, so they could only cross the trap and continue to attack.

At this time, the flintlock musketeers in the trench had already fired the last bullet, withdrew their guns and turned around and withdrew along the trench to the cart formation, and when everyone withdrew into the cart formation, the soldiers inside put the wooden planks that had been prepared behind the gap and blocked the way in.
