Chapter 840: Capturing the Mountain
Kicking and beating the war horse, he held a snowy Mo knife in his hand.
The God of Wealth took the lead and rushed to Panlonggang first.
No way! Although this girl is 172 cm tall, she is quite slender and slender, and her weight is much lighter than that of War Elephant, Lao Hei, Barong and the other three.
In addition, because of the smaller body, the armor worn on the body is naturally made of less material, and the weight is much lighter.
After all of the above are combined, the system war horse that Yu Hanfeng gave her under her crotch, that is, the first-generation 'radish', needs to bear a lot better.
At this time, I have more physical strength and less burden, and I can naturally run faster.
After rushing to Panlonggang first, the God of Wealth saw for the first time the specific whole picture of the quadrangular fort in the shade of some trees.
I saw that at the top of the hill, there was a flat land with a radius of two or three hundred square meters.
On the flat ground, some stones and slabs were used to build a boxy fort; On pedestals made of large stones, breech guns were erected one by one.
Not far away, there are some wooden rooms, which should be the barracks of the original defenders.
The God of Wealth is not so surprised; To her surprise; I found that there were still eleven or twelve lobster soldiers in the fort, but they didn't run until now.
Even these lobster soldiers, under the command of an officer with a knife in his hand, all held muskets and lined up a line to face her side.
But even if these people didn't run, the expressions on their faces were still full of panic and fear.
So much so that such an opponent, the God of Wealth did not look at it at all.
In the midst of lightning and fire, I thought that in the future, in the hands of the clan, if there were a group of prisoners in hand, when I wanted to come to the Yin Army to attack, I would have some scruples about this.
Immediately, the God of Wealth had an idea in his heart.
After opening his mouth, a string of English shouted:
"You have lost the battle, throw down your arms, and we will show mercy~"
It's a pity that these lobster soldiers, who are obviously full of panic, don't appreciate the kindness shown by the God of Wealth at all.
When the officer shouted 'fire' from his mouth, the dozen or so lobster soldiers who formed the battle line pulled the trigger on their hands in unison.
Suddenly, after a choking burst of white smoke rose, more than a dozen shots of lead bullets beckoned to the God of Wealth.
So Lao Hei and the other three, who followed the god and drove the war horse to rush up, saw the scene of the God of Wealth being knocked to the ground by one person and one horse.
Seeing this, the three of them immediately became furious in their hearts.
Originally, like the God of Wealth, the idea of leaving a life for these lobster soldiers as prisoners was immediately ignored.
After driving the horse forward, with the swing of the weapon in his hand, he slashed down the lobster soldiers in a short time; The officer headed by that one was cut in half by an axe from a war elephant.
But when the last lobster soldier who tried to escape was also stabbed to death by Barong.
In the ears of the three of them, they still didn't hear the prompt from the system, 'The recapture of the Quartet is completed, and the relevant gunpowder weapons will be unlocked and issued immediately'.
Thinking that in that wooden house, Lao Hei and Barong, who might be hiding from the Yin Army, rushed in to take a look, but no one was hiding inside.
Anyway, such a result makes them think about it for a while, and how they feel that it is very unreasonable.
On the contrary, in Lao Hei's lookout, he found out why the dozen or so lobster soldiers before had not retreated.
Because more than two miles away on the back of Panlonggang, there were about two companies of lobster soldiers, led by an equestrian officer, trotting towards this side quickly.
As they approached, they waved and shouted at the routs.
It was too far away, and the three people on the hill naturally couldn't hear it, and what they were shouting in their mouths was now, but after thinking about it a little, they also knew that they were gathering the rout.
Next, I'm afraid that a counterattack will be launched on the battery.
Frankly speaking, at this time, the current state of the surviving members of the team is just barely holding on, and they can have two or three percent of the combat effectiveness on weekdays.
Then if you really want to continue fighting, it is a burden to shoot a bow and arrow for a long time.
Therefore, the best case scenario is to use a gunpowder weapon that is not very physically demanding.
It's just that in terms of muskets, they can still pick up some of the muskets discarded by the lobster soldiers on the turret; But the density of fire is limited, if there is no explosive pack, how can it stop the two complete companies of the lobster soldiers?
And after being reorganized, he was thrown into battle again?
Fortunately, when the three of them were a little worried, suddenly the war elephant inadvertently saw that the leaves on a banyan tree were shaking a little abnormally ten meters away on the left.
In a flash, I thought of a war elephant.
On the spot, he was carrying a two-handed battle axe with a huge axe blade, and walked towards the banyan tree.
Immediately after rushing under the tree, the war elephant could see a gentleman with a top hat on his head and a tuxedo, but he was hiding on a branch like a monkey.
I think it's because there is still this product that hasn't been killed, which leads to the fact that the unlocking task has not been completely completed.
Immediately, the war elephant prepared to go down with an axe, cut down the banyan tree with a thick bowl, and then kicked the gentleman to death when the other party fell.
The result was a little axe, and the pale-faced gentleman seemed to have understood something in his heart.
His mouth hurriedly shouted in a panic: "Madam, you can't kill me."
I am Henry Cavendi, a reporter for the famous "Times" in the Great Yin Empire, and I am not a combatant at all, and your behavior is not a gentleman at all. ”
"I'm not a gentleman in the first place, you call me lady."
The war elephant replied casually in Oxford English, and then continued to raise the axe in his hand.
Xu was stunned for the rather authentic Oxford accent in the war elephant's mouth, and by the time Henry Cavendi reacted, the war elephant had already been cut down with an axe.
Without the slightest suspense, the thick trunk of the bowl was cut off directly, and the reporter on it fell from above with a piercing scream.
The fall wasn't heavy, but it was badly embarrassed.
Just wait for the elephant to lift his oversized, custom-made boots and prepare to kick them over.
The reporter, who was completely frightened, finally shouted out loudly with a desperate expression in his mouth: "Madam, you have won."
My real name is actually Otto Henry Cavendis.
Have you heard of the Cavendish family? It was the Duke of Devonshire's family, and I was a direct descendant of the family; As long as you don't kill me, you'll be rewarded with a good ransom. ”
After hearing this, the war elephant immediately stopped his big feet.
The ransom or something, she didn't pay attention to it, but leaving this one Henry in hand should be able to play some other role.
It can be regarded as being moved, and giving up the idea of kicking him to death.
Leaned over and threw a punch out, hitting the Cavendish kid on the skull with precise force, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
The next second later, Hu Biao, who used a musket as a crutch and limped up.
and everyone else in the team who rushed up with a murderous aura, and they all heard the cold mechanical sound of the system in their ears, and it finally sounded:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, congratulations to everyone in the Xuange Battalion, and the netizens who participated in the mission this time; The first phase of the task, the first requirement is officially completed.
The punishment of the mission countdown and the obliteration of all members will be lifted immediately.
Temporarily seized gunpowder weapons were also immediately returned; Keep up the good work and unlock more restrictions. ”
After the voice fell, the one in front of everyone's eyes had a blood-red color, and it had reached the countdown of 15 minutes and 52 seconds, and finally disappeared completely.
At the same time, in the open space on the side of the turret, after a noticeable spatial distortion, a pile of flintlock muskets, explosives packets, and bullet bags appeared there.
Not to mention such an obvious spatial distortion, there is still such a large number of things.
Yu Hong, who had just climbed up out of breath, and the green battalion soldiers behind him didn't see it at all.
After seeing this pile of lost and recovered things, Hu Biao immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, because these things were the biggest reliance on them in the next battle.
It's a pity that he hasn't even completely relaxed his breath like this.
In Lao Hei's mouth, he shouted out loudly: "Lao Hu, there are two more companies of lobster soldiers here to kill, at most only two miles~"
"Special! What kind of broken task given by the grandson of the system, it's like urging life, can't it make people breathe a little? ”
Hu Biao, who heard the bad news, couldn't help but curse out of his mouth.
But scolding and scolding, still holding a rifle and dragging a wounded leg, he laboriously moved towards the other side of the fort.
Each movement leaves a clear bloody footprint on the ground.
The others also rushed to that side because of the warning in Lao Hei's mouth, and no one noticed such a point at all.
Including the concubine, she also didn't notice the bad situation of the men in her family.
Mainly compared to Hu Biao, the situation of the God of Wealth seems to be worse.
When the concubine rushed to Panlonggang a little earlier than Hu Biao, she saw her cousin who was crushed under the horse and had no movement after one person and one horse all fell.
After rushing over in a hurry, he asked the warehouse manager and AT to help lift a little war horse, and he dragged the God of Wealth, which was full of blood, out from under the war horse.
After an examination of the head, face, chest and abdomen, no fatal wounds were found.
It turned out that as soon as the word 'fire' reached his ears, the God of Wealth lay on his horse's back, and except for a shot in the left shoulder, everything else was fine.
It's just that in the process of falling, while being pressed by the heavy war horse, the whole person also fainted.
It's just that after being woken up by the concubine's pinching of people, she saw the baby war horse lying on the ground and dying, and this girl's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
At the same time, Yu Hanfeng's mouth also kept making a coughing sound of 'Kang, Kang, Kang~'.
And in this tractor-like coughing sound, he kept coughing up blood in small gulps.
Such a scene was seen by the rest of the team, but no one cared about it either; Because their situation is not much better......
******
Seeing the reinforcements of the Yin army coming, the two company-sized musketeers were only left with a dozen or so people to gather a group of routs, and the remaining more than 200 people rushed straight to this side.
After thinking about it for five or six seconds, Hu Biao immediately shouted a command out of his mouth:
"Nan Ze, take a few people to treat everyone's wounds, don't wait to be killed by the Yin Army's muskets, but everyone died of excessive blood loss.
The rest, immediately ready to fight. ”
Under Hu Biao's order, Mr. Nan Ze, a tea profiteer, quickly looked around.
I saw the three novice rookies who had been following behind when they were charging, although their faces were as pale as white paper.
But his limbs were all gone, and he didn't suffer any injuries on his body, so he immediately had an idea.
He raised his finger and pointed over, and shouted out of his mouth: "You three, hurry up and come over to help~"
After that, the treatment action begins; To be more specific, he dealt with a bullet hole in his own stomach.
After this shot pierced through the heavy armor, I don't know how deep it was hit, anyway, it has been bleeding all the time, if you don't deal with it quickly, the old Chinese medicine doctor of his team will hang up first.
While dealing with the wound, Nanze was very glad to have a point:
Just now, when he was lightly dressed, in order to reduce the burden on the war horse, he almost tore out his pants and threw them away; However, the medical supplies he carried on his body were not thrown away at all.
Otherwise, with the current situation of the team where everyone is injured, there will be a shortage of medicines.
And Nan Ze was facing a group of wounded, first stopping the bleeding of some serious wounds, and the bullets in his body were ignored, and he would wait for the operation to be dealt with.
In this process, Hu Biao and others all replaced the weapons in their hands with firearms returned by the system.
This is because the appearance and structure of the equipment manufacturing team processed by these equipment manufacturing teams such as Wolf Qing, Lao Tie, and Wu Pawn are similar in appearance and structure to the wheel firearm in Lao Hei's hand.
The only difference is that there are no special effects that Lao Hei's system produces.
Even so, such a firearm has many aspects such as power, rate of fire, and range.
However, compared to the lobster soldiers, among the various muskets used now, the latest Brunswick-style front-loading smoothbore rifle is even stronger.
So the muskets of those lobster soldiers were picked up and used by Yu Hong and other green battalion soldiers, and they all replaced them with good guns.
In a hurry, they did not have time to dig a trench.
So they could only find some small mounds, stones, and large enough tree trunks to be used as temporary shelters, and began to prepare with guns.
Not long after they were ready for battle, the lobster soldiers, who had trotted all the way to the battlefield, launched an attack.
In terms of their specific tactics, because Panlonggang, where the Sifang Fort is located, is just a small hill with a height of only about 60 meters.
It was all within the effective range of the lobster soldiers, their muskets.
Of course, at such a range, the power of the lead bullet can cause enough damage to Hu Biao and them, and whether they can hit is another question.
Therefore, these two companies, at a distance of about 300 meters from the Sifang Battery, began to line up neatly in battle lines.
Then, with his rifle in his hand, he pointed it like a wall against the hill and began to move forward slowly.
If Hu Biao was not mistaken, these lobsters would have used their classic tactic: when they reached the foot of the mountain, they would immediately fire three columns of muskets, and then rush up with bayonets.
It's just that these lobster soldiers have taken more than a dozen steps forward.
At the sound of a gunshot, they were surprised to find the commander of their 26th Camelanian Infantry Regiment, the one on the horse.
Without even letting out a scream, he flipped off his horse, obviously shot.
It should be said that the military level of the lobster soldiers is worthy of barely being regarded as a modern army; Such a situation in which the supreme commander died in battle did not make them collapse directly like the army of the Qing Dynasty.
A captain immediately took over the commander and shouted in his mouth:
"Go ahead, the shot just now is just a coincidence~"
In response to such a statement, a group of lobster soldiers expressed their belief.
Because they understand that even the latest musket of the Great Yin Empire can hit such a long distance; It is almost impossible to hit such a long target, and even if you do, you can only blame it on luck.
But soon after, they didn't think that way at all.
In the next ten or so seconds, these lobster soldiers walked twenty steps out of the sky, and hundreds of gunshots rang out on the small hill in front of them.
Although it is not a neat row of guns, it is actually quite good in terms of fire density.
What's even more terrifying is that the bullets beckoned from these hills also have an unscientific accuracy.
In the hundreds of gunshots, more than 40 people on our side were shot and fell to the ground, which means that in a very short period of time, about 20% of them were killed or wounded.
And the other side has no gentlemanly demeanor at all, deliberately firing at the officers on the side of the battle line.
So by now, half of the officers in the company have been killed.
Such a ferocious musket killing effect also made some of the remaining officers react, and after issuing a 'test and retreat' order from their mouths, they began to retreat with the surviving more than a hundred lobster soldiers.
It was only after retreating to a position four hundred meters away from the fort that it stopped again.
Merged with the reorganized routs, the total strength once again reached three hundred and fifty or sixty men.
At the same time, heralds were sent to the rear to request reinforcements.
also let Hu Biao and them finally have some respite......
