"Put!"

Dong Xin, a staff general of the left battalion of the 13th Army of the National Defense Army, roared loudly and angrily, and dozens of Huzun guns in front of the battle opened fire at the same time, and the fierce scattered bombs swept over, knocking the sandbag wall and low wall of the outermost defense line of the Qing army into dust.

The Ming army's Huzun cannon was well-cast, not only had a longer range and greater power, but also reloaded very quickly, not even slower than the bird's gun.

Round after round of salvo fire, so that the Qing troops stationed in the defense line have no chance to counterattack, as long as they emerge from the trench, low wall or sandbag wall, they will basically be killed by scattered bullets, under the power of the Huzun cannon, those Qing soldiers have no chance of being injured at all, as long as they are hit, they will be killed on the spot.

Rumble!

The crackling bullets hit the sandbag wall, and Seleng squatted in the trench in despair, listening to these movements, the anger in his heart became more and more intense.

At this time, the Mongol soldiers in the defense line were all angry, and in the face of the almost crushing firepower of the Ming army, they were able to hold on, which can be regarded as arousing the last blood and bravery.

At this time, most of the Han people were frightened by the fierce artillery fire, and some of them were not able to hear or hear the orders of the Mongolian tribesmen, so they were killed, which made the rest of the Han people strong.

But even in the face of such a situation, there are thousands of Han people in the outermost defense line on the west side, but none of them dare to resist, even if the Ming army is close at hand and has a chance to do it anyway.

This is because the families of these Han people are all in the city of Shenyang, and if any team of people and heroes defects, the families of this group of people will be collectively killed, and there will never be a way to live.

At this time, Seleng finally came back to his senses, and the Huzun cannon of the Ming army outside gradually stopped firing, and then the Ming army's large array advanced again.

Selen shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! ”

Soon, the Mongol soldiers from all over the defense line got up one after another, roaring and firing arrows outside, the dense rain of arrows, as well as the Huzun artillery of the Qing army, caused a lot of pressure on the officers and men of the 13th Army of the Wehrmacht who were marching, and the officers and men of all units began to suffer casualties.

General Dong Xin saw a flash of fire from a Huzun cannon of the Qing army on the left, and immediately shot down several soldiers not far away, seeing that those soldiers could not survive.

Subsequently, just in front of Dong Xin, several soldiers were shot by arrows shot by Mongolian tribesmen, one of them was shot in the neck, and his mouth made a gurgling sound, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

At this time, the army formation was still advancing, and there was still a distance of forty steps from the first line of defense of the Qing army, Dong Xin was furious and shouted directly: "Stop advancing!" ”

"Stop!"

"Thrower, rush!"

Hundreds of throwers in heavy armor roared forward, and the arrows of the Mongol soldiers hit these throwers, and it was difficult to shoot through the heavy armor, although some of the throwers had a dozen arrows stuck in their bodies, but they were not seriously injured, but they looked very scary.

Rumble!

Soon, the earth-shattering thunder exploded in various parts of the Qing army's defense line, and the Huzun cannon deployed by the Qing army in the defense line was the key "object of care" of the thrower, and many Huzun guns were blown into scrap metal by the earth-shaking thunder of the Ming army, and the surrounding Mongolian tribesmen also suffered, and many people were killed and injured by the explosion.

"Bird gun hand volley shot, put!"

"Put!"

Rumble!

At this time, the 13th Army of the Wehrmacht was responsible for the offensive in the west, and the left battalion led by General Dong Xin was responsible for the offensive in the southwest.

Some Mongolian tribesmen with good archery skills did not believe in evil, and always thought that the Mongolian bows and arrows were faster than the Ming army's bird guns, so many people wanted to take advantage of the short interval between the Ming army's shooting to get up and release arrows.

But what made these Mongols despair was that the Ming army's shooting gap was almost indistinguishable, and it was often those Mongols who had just emerged and had not yet stood up straight, or had not had time to release their arrows, and the next barrage had already been fired.

Soon, the Mongol tribesmen in the line suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of the men were as obedient as Selen, and all of them were re-entrenched in the trenches, hiding behind low walls and sandbag walls.

The firepower of the Ming army is too strong, and these Mongolian tribesmen can't compete, but those Ming soldiers can't keep shooting, right? As long as the Ming army stopped shooting and rushed up, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, it was an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle in the hearts of these Mongol tribesmen!

The Ming salvo lasted for half an hour, until there was no longer a single active Mongol in the defense line, and the commander-in-chief of the 13th Army of the Wehrmacht, Shang Zili, gave the order to stop firing.

At this time, General Dong Xin received the order and immediately roared: "Get on the bayonet and kill the Tartar!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

More than 30,000 bird-gunners and throwers of the 13th Wehrmacht Army rushed to the Qing army's defensive line, and a large number of bayonet-armed bird-gunners were very brave, rushed into the back of the low wall and sandbag wall, jumped into the trench, and fought with the Mongol tribesmen stationed in these places.

Before the soldiers of the Ming army rushed in, they would often throw another wave by the throwers who rushed in front, blowing up the Mongolian tribesmen who were ready for hand-to-hand combat, and then a large number of bird-to-arms men rushed up in formation and began to harvest the heads.

Seleng was also shocked by the aftermath of an earth-shattering thunder explosion, but fortunately he was not injured, and after standing up in a hurry, he saw a large number of Ming troops rushing in with a fine bird gun inserted in a "dagger", and the surrounding Mongolian tribesmen roared and killed, and some brave Han people also rushed up, but most of the Han people were rushing with their heads in their hands.

"Kill!"

Selen also slew it, and the knife in his hand sank vigorously, slashing at a bird's gunner. I saw that the bird gun hand blocked the knife with both hands with the bird gun horizontal frame, and the sound of the weapon hitting made Seleng surprised: "These bird guns of the Ming army are all cast of fine iron!" ”

Stunned, Selen only felt a pain in his lower abdomen, but he was kicked in the stomach by the Ming Army's bird, and the whole person fell to the ground on his back.

"Kill!!"

The Ming army also wanted to chase and kill Seleng, but was assassinated by the Mongolian tribesmen next to him with spears.

This time it was a hornet's nest, and the Ming army who rushed in was brave, completely subverting Seleng's impression of the Han people, they were skilled, well-equipped, and not afraid of death, and everyone was an elite pawn.

The Mongol tribesmen in the defense line were much worse, and they were completely crushed by the Ming army in terms of equipment and combat strength.

However, these Mongol tribesmen were like beasts dying on the verge of death, and they let out a final roar in the face of the powerful hunter, and the two sides were even inseparable.

The two Mongol soldiers frantically besieged a Ming soldier and even didn't care about the bayonet piercing into their body, but didn't care about slashing at the Ming soldier with their knives, and finally all three of them were scarred and fell in the trench one after another.

Such situations abound!

In order to recover Liaodong and avenge the thousands of Han compatriots who were brutalized and enslaved by the Manchus, the hatred of the country and the family burned like a fire in their hearts.

The Mongolian tribal soldiers were fighting trapped beasts in order to survive and defend the Qing Dynasty, which was about to fall.

At this time, the officers and men of the Ming army, with their sophisticated equipment and well-trained combat skills, always maintained a large exchange ratio, and often had to exchange the lives of five or six Mongol tribesmen for the life of one Wehrmacht soldier.

But even so, the increasing number of casualties shocked the generals of the 13th Army of the Wehrmacht, and their hearts burned with anger.

Seleng was also crazy at this time, although he was already in his fifties and his physical strength was not very good, but he was like a mad dog, picking up his sword and slashing at the Ming soldiers in front of him like crazy.

It was a thrower of the Ming army, and at this time, the heavy armor on his body had been cut out of a gap by the Qing soldiers, and all around him were swarming Mongolian tribesmen, and the rest of the Ming soldiers were blocked elsewhere, in a narrow trench, and there was no way to support quickly.

"Ahh

Seeing the opportunity, Selen slashed at the shoulders of the thrower, and the sharp knife didn't know if it was stuck in the crack of the bone, or stuck in the connection of the armor, and it couldn't be pulled out!

The pervert was stunned, so he pounced on it, holding the thrower's waist so that the rest of his companions could kill him.

"Haha!"

Who knew that the thrower suddenly burst out laughing, and under the frightened gaze of the surrounding Mongolian tribesmen, he took out a heaven-shaking thunder, endured the severe pain, lit it with a fire breaker, and shouted loudly: "Hu no one!!" Han Daochang! ”

Rumble!

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise echoed in the trench, and the thrower was killed on the spot, and Selen and a dozen Mongolian tribesmen were blown up, and Seleng, who was holding the thrower, was blown apart.

At this time, in the rear of the Ming Army, Li Dingguo continued to receive the battle reports sent by the various armies at night, and the battles on all sides of Shenyang City were very difficult at present, although the Qing soldiers stationed in the first line of defense were some temporarily conscripted Mongolian tribesmen, and some Han people were strong, but they dragged the officers and men of the Western Route Army into the quagmire.

"Sure enough!"

Li Dingguo sighed in his heart: "I learned in the Huangming Military Academy that after the large-scale use of firearms, trench warfare is the most consuming combat method that consumes troops, requires the most time and material guarantees!" ”

Since the start of the battle, all units of the Western Route Army have lost three people in total, five people in one hundred general, dozens of flag commanders and captains, and the losses of ordinary officers and men in each department, Li Dingguo estimates that there are at least 2,000 people!

Such large casualties are unimaginable in a field battle, even if the Qing army is equipped with artillery!!

But now in the defense line of the Qing army, those dog Tartars relied on trenches and various fortifications, and covered them with Huzun cannons and bows and arrows, causing some casualties to the officers and soldiers of various departments. The greater casualties were inflicted after the men of the various divisions rushed into the defensive line.

In the narrow trench, the two sides fought without skill, just exchanging lives for lives. And the soldiers of the Ming army who snatched the low wall and sandbag wall, as well as the rain of arrows fired from the second line of defense, and the bombardment of the Huzun cannon in the second line of defense.

At this time, Li Dingguo somewhat understood that the Qing army was in the mood for attacking the Hongluo Mountain defense line, and when attacking such a defense line, he must be prepared to pay heavy casualties!

Shang Zili, the chief officer of the 13th Army of the National Defense Army, also frowned at this time, and said: "Inspector, the current situation of the Qing army's defense line is almost touched, and the Qing army artillery on the Shenyang city wall should also be some Fran machine guns, and there are no red-coated cannons with a large range. ”

The battle reports sent by the officers and men of various departments show that the battle in the first line of defense is still in a state of anxiety, and the Qing army in the second line of defense has continuously sent troops to support, so that the attempts of the officers and men of the Ming army to seize the first line of defense in a short period of time have failed.

Therefore, Li Dingguo also agreed with Shang Zili's suggestion and ordered the officers and men of each department to cover the retreat alternately.

"Order the officers and men of all units to take away the bodies of the fallen soldiers and the wounded as much as possible when they retreat!"

"Order all artillery units to prepare, and after the infantry withdraws, continue to bombard the Qing defense line with volleys!"

"Yes!"
