The tactics of two stepped trenches are equivalent to increasing the density of firepower out of thin air, and the rotation of muskets in the two trenches can ensure the continuity of firepower, which can be described as quite reasonable and efficient configuration.

The grenadier was once again in full swing, and the thunderbolt swept through the air as if it didn't need money, smashing into the ranks of the enemy.

With each loud explosion, you could see a large cloud of smoke blooming through the crowd with bright light, and bits and pieces mixed with snow and frozen soil were raised into the air, setting off a scream and wail.

This kind of weapon is simple and easy to build, and has the power of explosive bombs, it is very fast to fire, and the damage and deterrence caused to Jiannu are also very large.

Every thunderbolt fell to the ground and rolled, emitting a trace of green smoke, even the brave Jiannu was inevitably frightened and hurriedly dodged.

Lying on the spot should be the best thing to do, but that is the attack of the sparse skirmishers of later generations. In a dense stormtrooper formation, if you fall, you will be trampled on, and you may never get back on your feet.

The front was light and the back was heavy, and the muskets after the two fortifications spit flames one by one, rising even thicker white smoke. Occasionally, there are shotguns of Franc machines and tiger squat guns... Bombardment, the firepower is both dense and fierce.

Soldiers were constantly knocked to the ground, and some could not die for a while, struggling in pain in the cold and hard snow, making inhuman screams, aggravating the bloody atmosphere on the battlefield.

In front of the stake array, there were corpses lying all over the place. In the blur of flesh and blood, the death is different and miserable.

With carts, planks, and even axes, hooks, ladders, and shields, Jiannu paid a heavy price and finally opened the way and broke through to the last barrier trench.

When facing the flames spewing from the chest wall and the countless lead bullets flying in front of him, Jiannu's attack was suddenly stunned.

"Push the wagon into the trench, push it in!" The Dergers howled loudly, this was probably the fastest way to fill the trench, and the last trench wasn't too wide.

A dark cloud rose from behind the formation, and it was Jiannu's archers, shooting hard, hoping to kill and wound more Ming troops and provide cover for their own army.

With a little more effort, you can hit the city wall.

Looking at Ningyuan City, which was less than fifty meters away, the Derge class seemed to see hope. With so many dead and wounded, wouldn't it be the biggest failure if you couldn't even touch the city walls?

Moreover, the Derge class also knew that attacking Ningyuan would inevitably cost a lot of casualties, which was caused by the fact that his army was not good at attacking fortifications, and the offensive weapons were backward and few.

Either storm or besiege, but for the Houjin army, there is only the first option.

Because their supply line is hundreds of miles long, and Ningyuan is abundant in supplies, if they are besieged for a long time, the Houjin army will not have the logistical ability, but will be dragged down first.

The fire on the positions of the Ming army was even more intense, and due to the advance of the Houjin army, even the muskets and artillery of the Ming army on the flank had a chance to support the operation.

At the breakthrough with a width of 50 or 60 meters, it was subjected to the fire of a frontal flank of hundreds of meters, and Jiannu's casualties increased suddenly.

The screams became more dense and piercing, and the Derg shouted and cursed, ordering the armor to use shields to strengthen the cover. But even he could see that the effect was not very good.

A heavy buckshot struck the shield, and although it failed to penetrate, the force of the impact slammed the shield backwards, striking the shield-wielding man in the face.

With a spurting nosebleed, Soldier A's shield-holding arm was broken, but he was unconscious when he fell backwards.

One of the pashiku stepped forward, but two buckshot shot at him, one diagonally on his shoulder. The elephant was hit by a heavy hammer, and this guy was knocked away with a spin, and his entire shoulder bone was broken, and he was useless if he didn't die.

Boom, boom, boom...... The large and small artillery under the city opened heavy fire, smashing the cannonballs into the defensive line formed by the shield-wielding heavy armor.

The power of the cannonball was much greater than that of the gun, and when one hit it, the shield shattered like papier-mâché, and the armor soldiers behind were knocked over like dolls.

Broken! When the Dergers heard the roar of the dense cannons, they immediately felt like they were stuck in an ice cave, and their hearts sank into the bottomless abyss.

This is the flaw of the main offensive side, the defenders can mobilize their forces and weapons to defend with all their might; But to besiege from all sides, how many wagons are needed to cover and how much clothing to fill the trenches is simply not what Jiannu's ability can do.

Obviously, Ning Yuan's Ming army had already mobilized a large number of artillery pieces, arranged them above and below the city, and prepared a bloody battlefield, just waiting for their own army to rush to this last trench.

Although this is not a far-sighted and clever man, because Jiannu's attack point is so clear, it is the southwest corner.

And a day or two is enough time to adjust the troops and weapons to give the enemy a slaughter at the right time.

The speed of the attack was too slow, the number and power of the Ming army's firearms were underestimated, and the intelligence information of their own side was inaccurate, and it could even be said that it was very lacking.

Large and small shells flew and fell, bouncing and impacting; Thunder flew into the air and exploded on the ground. The protective line of carts and shields was shattered in an instant, and countless armor soldiers lost their lives in the shelling.

A roar erupted, thick white smoke rose from the breastwork fortifications, countless lead bullets shot head-on, blood arrows sprayed, screaming and wailing, and the unprotected Jiannu was hit extremely hard.

The roar continued, and the Ming musketeers behind the two fortifications quickly took turns firing, raining down large and small lead bullets at the confused enemy.

Under the ferocious and continuous blow, Jiannu was already in chaos, but the Mang Gurtai behind him didn't seem to see clearly, or he hadn't reacted yet, and didn't give an order.

You can't retreat without an order, you can't turn around and run away, you can't make it difficult for Fifth Brother to deal with him and the other defeated soldiers.

And it has already hit here, so many people have been killed and wounded, and if you retreat, your previous efforts will be wasted. If you charge again, you will be able to enter the enemy's position, engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and emerge victorious.

Feeling that he had guessed his brother's intentions, Derge summoned up his courage and shouted loudly to command, urging the chaotic army to continue to attack in the face of artillery fire.

A canopy of heavy lead bullets roared with an indestructible momentum, and slammed diagonally towards the Derg class. Obviously, the Ming army also noticed this shouting Jiannu leader.

And Jiannu's casualties were heavy, and he gradually flashed out of the shooting range of sniping Derge, although he still had his own soldiers around him.

Derg had wondered why the officers had suffered so many casualties, and the answer was coming to him now, but it was too late for him to understand.

Fort Arthur's sniper, which killed Jaisangu; Ancient warfare also paid attention to capturing thieves and capturing kings, and directly hitting the head.

Organizing a sniper squad of five or six people to fight officers and leaders became a tactic used by the Ming army's heavy muskets.
