Chapter 404: Peanuts

In the double-headed three-eyed three-eyed eye gun with an initial velocity of 600 meters per second, not to mention firing a lead, even a peanut is enough to kill people.

When the next morning, when the Warat army was advancing with an iron pot, Chu Fan was standing in the middle of the mountain and pinching his fingers and counting: "Yo, iron pot?" This is here to cook for us? AK47 muzzle velocity of 800 meters per second, 7.62 mm copper warhead, can penetrate 10 mm steel plate and 25 cm of earth wall within 100 meters, my god gun, about 7 mm lead warhead, muzzle velocity 600 meters, penetrate 5 mm iron pot within 100 meters, well, no problem, come on, shoot a few shots at the iron pot from a distance, and then wait for my order.

If you don't feel it, you can imagine that ten people walking side by side are about eight meters wide, one hundred people walking side by side about 80 meters wide, and one thousand people walking side by side about eight hundred meters wide.

30,000 people, equivalent to an area 800 meters wide and two kilometers long, were full of soldiers, and the scene was spectacular.

The main force of Heshute was composed of 30,000 people.

Pressed from the front, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the momentum was indeed very shocking.

On the hills on both sides, the troops of Dzungar and Zhezhe were also on standby on the other side of the hill, ready to flank at any time.

The Heshute forward troops carried the iron pot and walked to a distance of nearly 100 zhang, and the Ming army began to shoot, only to hear the iron pot and bullets "clanging". "The sound of the collision is crisp and pleasant.

The iron pot was only punched out of a few small holes and did not cause any damage.

The bullet fought a hundred battles, and the kinetic energy loss was very large, so it would definitely not be able to penetrate the iron pot, which Chu Fan thought very clearly.

Seeing that the iron pot effectively resisted the Ming army's firearms, the Heshute forward troops were very excited and immediately accelerated forward.

But when they advanced to a distance of sixty battles, they found that such a formation could not fully protect the rear.

Because they entered the firing range of the Ming army's team at the top of the mountain.

When everyone is on the ground, the line holding the iron pot can block the bullets of the Ming army from the ground on the same plane, but once it enters the range of the Ming army on the top of the mountain, the blow changes from two dimensions to three dimensions, and the bullets fired from high altitude cannot be blocked by the iron pot of the front army.

Of course, there must have been sacrifices, and Heshuot had no intention of taking this well-equipped mountain without a single soldier.

But unexpectedly, the firepower of the Ming army was too fierce.

The first time he had a short encounter with the Ming army was a few days ago, and he Shuote learned the power and accuracy of the Ming army's firearms, within a hundred zhang, there is basically a chance that they will be hit, and the soldiers who were hit are basically all big flowers on their bodies, with a high probability that they cannot be saved, and the power of bows and arrows is completely incomparable.

But they are also very aware of the weakness of the Ming army's guns, the loading speed is very slow, so according to the law of the previous Ming army's operations, the first row shoots, the last two rows are loaded with ammunition, the second row shoots, the third row is still reloading, the second row is finished, and the third row is just finished reloading and can be fired.

Therefore, two thousand muskets, divided into three groups, each group is about 600 people, a salvo, even if they are all hit, there will be a loss of 600 people here, and every time the shooting is interval, the cavalry can advance more than ten zhang, which is nothing more than being beaten by you for four or five rounds, I lost a few thousand people, and I also rushed to you, let's fight hand-to-hand and see who is powerful.

Therefore, although they were sniped by the Ming army on the top of the mountain, the soldiers of Heshute did not retreat, they were ready to sacrifice, and vowed to take down the head of Chu Fan to thank heaven and earth.

However, rushing and rushing, they found that something was wrong, why did the Ming army's firepower not stop?

As soon as the first volley was completed, the cavalry was about to rush forward for more than ten feet, but immediately received a second volley, another group of war horses neighed and fell, and the follow-up troops charged again, another volley, a full six rounds of charge, and six rounds were disabled.

The leader of the army standing in the rear finally panicked, what kind of fire is this? Why is it not over?

But looking at the top of the mountain, there are only a thousand people, how can they keep fighting?

However, the attack has been launched, so many soldiers have been lost, can no longer retreat, although by a round of volleys, heavy losses, but still rushed forward more than a dozen zhang, victory is in sight, as long as rush in, the Ming army will definitely die.

Therefore, instead of giving the order to retreat, Heshute beat the drum and accelerated the speed of the charge.

The double-headed three-eyed eyes are still to be loaded after all, and the six rounds of continuous shooting down, finally stopped, taking advantage of this time, the Heshuo special army shook the sky, launched a general attack, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

The first echelon of the iron pot was still very good at protecting itself, and there was basically no loss, and the rear army took advantage of the bullets of the Ming army to quickly follow, approaching within 30 zhang of the Ming army.

Six rounds of salvo fired, although Heshuote suffered heavy losses, but it cannot be said that it was heavily damaged, after all, the distance from the Ming army was still a little far, and it was a moving target, with more than 2,000 casualties, and it did not affect the soldiers

Qi, the Mongolian cavalry has been synonymous with strength since ancient times, so the momentum is still very fierce.

Immediately afterwards, the second wave of salvo fire of the Ming army on the top of the mountain began, this time there was no obvious difference from the first wave, the cavalry was still a moving target, but the closer the distance, the higher the accuracy, the previous wave of salvo fell more horses, and this time, more soldiers fell.

Only one gunshot was heard, and in response to one after another, the soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the scene was tragic.

This time, the leader of Heshute was really distressed, and more than 4,000 warriors fell on the Gobi like this, with flames and blood flowing everywhere.

If it continues like this, it will really hurt the muscles and bones.

The original plan was that when the main attack force of Heshuote rushed to the Ming army about ten zhang, the signal was issued, and the Zhezhe Department and the Jungger Department on both sides appeared from the mountains on both sides, and the archery troops returned fire to the Ming army at about twenty zhang, and the infantry charged forward, and now seeing that their cavalry losses were several thousand, the leader of Heshuote was really distressed, and when the army rushed to about twenty zhang, he gave the order to encircle and attack in advance.

The Warat army on the hill on both sides poked their heads out and launched an attack on the Ming army together with the Chinese army, but when the troops on both sides rushed down, they suddenly found that they had been deceived.

It's not that the Ming army was played, it was played by Heshuote, and it was said that the Heshuote troops rushed first, and when they rushed to the front, the Ming army would inevitably be caught off guard, and the troops on both wings would help defend the middle, and the sides were empty, and they took advantage of the situation to rush down and break through the Ming army's defense line in one fell swoop.

But when they rushed down the mountainside without any shelter in front of them, they found that Heshuote's troops were still more than ten zhang away from the Ming army, and the Ming army was shooting and loading in an orderly manner, and the Ming troops on both wings were even more elegant, smiling and holding fire guns, facing them.

Chu Fan saw that the Heshute Chinese army had entered within fifteen zhang, and shouted: "The first regiment, the second regiment, the third regiment, all fire!" ”

I only heard the gunfire erupting intensively on the entire mountain, white smoke rising everywhere, and the gunfire was endless.

Finally rushed to the Heshuo army within fifteen zhang, seeing that it was very close to the Ming army's position, and was preparing to use the cover of the iron pot to capture the front line of the Ming army in one go, but what he heard was "Tell me, boom." But the iron pots were beaten to shreds.

At a distance of a hundred battles, the three-eyed god gun is at most the power of hurting a person, and even a thicker cowhide can't be pierced, but fifteen zhang, the bow and arrow can be shot, and the three-eyed god gun can penetrate an iron pot, or easily.

I saw that the iron pot was smashed to pieces one by one, and the soldiers holding the pot in the front row were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

The charging force that was originally following the iron pot was exposed to the guns of the Ming army, and with only one round of volleys, it fell to the ground countless times, and after six rounds, it was completely beaten into a sieve.

On the half-mountain on both sides, the Zhezhe Department and the Jungger Department are not much better, on this kind of bald mountain in Hexi, there is no vegetation, pure barren mountain, the soldiers rushed down to the halfway slope, they could not find cover at all, they ran down, they were closer to the Ming army, and they died more miserably, running upward, it was not easy to climb the mountain, and the moving target became a fixed target, which was easier to be hit.

Seeing that more than half of their troops had lost, but there was still a few zhang away from the Ming army's position, the leaders of the three tribes made a decision at the same time, rushing, continuing to rush.

also had to rush, now they know very well that this time they are besieging the Ming army with the greatest force, and more than half of the casualties are killed, if they are defeated, they will not have the strength to fight against it next time, besides, they have rushed to within a few zhang, and then retreat, the previous efforts are wasted, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It's like gambling, half of it has been lost anyway, and many people choose the last stud, let's fight, otherwise? How to bear such a serious loss, you can only take a fight.

Under the fierce fire of the Ming army, at the cost of losing thousands of people again, the Chinese army and the Shuote Department took the lead in rushing to the front of the Ming army's formation, and the infantry braved the rain of bullets and bullets, and began to hit the wall in groups of ten people holding large tree stumps.

They have practiced this set of procedures countless times, every time they robbed the city of the Ming Dynasty, if they encountered resistance, it was basically this tactic, the cavalry charged, covering the infantry approaching, and when they attacked the city, the infantry would be in a group of ten people, carrying large wooden stakes, hitting the city gate or weak city wall.

After crashing away, everyone rushed in, slashed and slashed, snatched property, and went home.

Everything goes smoothly.

The Ming army surrounded themselves with a wall, and the wall was not too thick, about one and a half bricks thick.

Originally, this was not a problem at all for the Warat soldiers, and the two-brick city wall could collapse in just a dozen strokes, not to mention your brick and a half.

But today, they are doomed to disappointment.

Dozens of large sets of wooden stakes collided synchronously, "Hey, ha, hey, ha." "Every time you shout, everyone exerts force at the same time.

The shouts were so loud that the voices were almost hoarse, but the walls did not move at all, and there was no sign of collapse.

Of course it won't collapse, this technology is building high-rise buildings in the capital, if a few big wooden stakes can collapse, how can people live?

Do you know that in addition to the bricks and stone mud reinforcement, it is also specially made of iron wire to strengthen the toughness, and its strength is even more than that of the buildings in the capital.

At this time, it was miserable to rush to the front of the Warat army, the retreat was the target, the advance could not enter, and the cavalry could not break through the half-man high wall no matter what.

A few infantrymen climbed the wall with their bare hands, and as soon as they came up, they were beaten into a hornet's nest by a meal of lead, and when they fell to the ground, they also smashed several cavalrymen.

Chu Fan, a shameless guy, likes to do what he likes to do the most, saying that he adds fuel to the fire and sprinkles salt on the wound, and when the Warat soldiers have nowhere to run, Chu Fan shouts loudly: "Get on fire." ”

I saw the soldiers in the front row put down their firearms, picked up the wine jar, and began to light the fire.

The jar is full of high-grade liquor, and a white cloth is stuffed at the mouth of the jar, which is soaked in liquor and then lit with fire.

Basically the same principle as a modern Molotov cocktail.

Hundreds of Molotov cocktails were thrown out one after another, and they ignited on the side of the Warat cavalry, and the horses neighed incessantly, and immediately spread their hooves in fright, threw the soldiers down, and fled in all directions.

The cavalry who landed on the ground rolled on the ground, covered with liquor, and then led by the fire, and the burning people hugged their heads and ran around, wailing constantly, and the people were burned by the fire, how could they have time to think about the route, so that some of them hit the wall, and some rushed into the friendly troops, which led to fire everywhere, and screamed again and again.

No, there is really no way to fight, Heshuote's army of 30,000 lost nearly 20,000 before it reached the outside of the wall, which will be mostly ignited by fire and flee in all directions, and the rest of the people do not dare to move forward at all.

The front of the position was full of corpses, and the flames were soaring to the sky, like hell on earth.

There is no need for Mingjin to withdraw the troops, few can run back, the dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, and the Heshuo army has basically wiped out the whole army, resulting in the result of less than ten dead and wounded in the Ming army, and it was completely defeated.

On both sides, although the casualties of Zhezhe and Zhungeer were not as heavy as those of Heshuote, the losses were not small, thousands of people were killed, and the rest were wounded and ran, and they did not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

The first battle was suspended, and the Ming army basically suffered no losses except for the consumption of ammunition, and even the Molotov cocktails prepared were not used up, and the battle was over.

In the end, the Warat army still had some combat effectiveness, and although it failed, the discipline was still very strict, and after receiving the retreat order, it immediately retreated as a whole.

The victorious Ming army shouted in unison with a majestic voice on the hillside: "Hurry up in the wilderness, get out in the wilderness, get out in the wilderness." ”

In this battle, the Ming army won a great victory, and the morale increased greatly, and the soldiers who had seen tens of thousands of troops rushing over and some of them were still timid, but they were shocked by this magical scene at the moment, with General Chu here, who is afraid?

In the Warat camp, the three leaders quarreled endlessly.

"I've said it all, at that time, who can sit still? It's definitely going to be all together. The leader of Heshute crossed his hands on his hips and said indignantly.

But the leader of the Jungar Mountains, however, knocked over the water utensils on the table and scolded: "If you are sent to death, do you want to pull us as backs?" ”

"That's right, you said okay, you rushed to within ten zhang, and we will shoot with both wings, but you ordered in advance to let us charge, is this for us to follow and die?"

In fact, it wasn't that Heshute really wanted the two brother tribes to be sent to death, but he really couldn't raise his head at that time, and he was in danger, and he only had these two cards in his hand, so he could only play them temporarily.

It's like fighting the landlord, you still have a single card in your hand with the out, you can use the size of the king, you know that now to dismantle the out, it is likely to be doomed, but you see that the opponent has been one by one to play out, immediately finished, you in addition to the king, otherwise can not be suppressed.

What do you do? Unless the master of the master, find another way, wait patiently with the card, most people, will choose to dismantle the king to suppress, first suppress and then say.

The leader of Heshute is obviously not a master of fighting landlords, he is just an ordinary person, and he has no advanced strategic strategy, so at that moment, he can only make this kind of normal person's choice.

In the big tent, you and I say a word, accusing each other, but scolding the account will not solve the problem, and the Ming army on the opposite hill is still playing with mud, and there is no intention of leaving.

So what to do? Really let the Heschult move? This is also too shameless, 2,000 people, 50,000 people who fought have no power to fight back, and this spread is almost going to throw the people of Varat to Siberia. for

Tuolin stood up, waved his hand to signal quietness, and said: "Okay, okay, it's useless to quarrel anymore, the top priority now is how to deal with them, I have a few ideas, you two should consider it."

"Big brother, you say." Zhezhe leader said.

"Have you found it, they actually rely on the powerful firecracker, fast loading, and hard walls to dare to confront our tens of thousands of troops, they dare not attack, once they come out, no matter how fast the firecracker, it will be scattered by the cavalry, and when the time comes, they will completely collapse.

"But they have no plans to come out, do they? It's been half a month, and you can see that they are staying inside as if they were fine. The leader of Heshute said angrily.

Indeed, since Chu Fan entered the Gobi, he has had a strange confrontation with the Wara army for almost a month, and with the distance when he came, he has been out for more than a month, but he has no intention of leaving.

"So I conclude that if they can hold on, after all, this is the Gobi and barren mountains, what do they eat? No matter how much grain and grass they bring, they won't be able to last for two months, right? There's always a time when they're going to come out, right? ”

"What the eldest brother said is extremely true, how long can they last? Without food and grass, how long can he hold on? The Zhezhe leader's attitude towards Delin was obviously warmer, and he immediately complimented him with Delin's thoughts.

"Heshute's troop losses are so serious, grain and grass must not need to be consumed so much, right? It's better to take it out and supply it to us two to avenge the dead brothers of Heshuot. ”

I have to say that the idea of deforestation is still very correct, and the Ming army does not have much food.

In order to travel lightly, Chu Fan studied compressed biscuits as military rations for the troops, so this army does not have too many logistics troops, and is basically self-sufficient.

In addition to carrying his own personal belongings, each soldier was required to carry a firecracker, fifty compressed biscuits, and five hundred rounds of ammunition.

It has been more than a month since they left the house, more than half of the food has been consumed, and there are no vegetables and fruits, the soldiers lack vitamin supplies, and they are more or less tired, and many of them have chapped lips and peeled hands and feet.
