Chapter 82: Wang Wu's Golden Finger
The local method works!
Wang Wu, who was a human in two lives, used the only "golden finger" since his rebirth.
The guns of the Qing army could not penetrate the three-layer "deck" made of wooden stakes, mud-soaked quilts, and cards!
This local method that makes people feel ridiculous at first glance has really become a magic weapon for the Ming army to defeat the enemy.
Before the sound of the gun, Wang Wu's heart actually kept pinching.
He knew that this method would not stop machine gun bullets, but it would slow down the penetration of ordinary rifle bullets, because the quilt contained a lot of fiber.
After soaking in water and hitting repeatedly, mixed with sand and soil, it is definitely a semi-qualified body armor.
But he had no sand, only mud.
For added bulletproofing, wood and card support are additionally used.
Therefore, there is more or less a drum on whether the 20 "earthen tanks" that were temporarily produced can play a role, or whether they can achieve the bulletproof effect he imagined.
After the sound of the gun sounded, Wang Wu was really worried that the cart in front of him would be stagnant, and the people behind him would fall down!
Fortunately, what he saw and heard in his previous life did not disappoint him.
Knowledge is indeed power!
The guns pushed out by the black powder hit the earthen tank, except for the "poof" sound, none of them could penetrate the baffle.
I didn't even hear the sound of being hit by a gun.
"Kill!"
In order not to waste the "golden finger", and also to bring the tens of thousands of remnants of the army and civilians on this Wushan Mountain to rush out and open up the world!
Wang Wu resolutely waved the big axe and followed the "shield cart" towards the Qing army's stake defense line.
"Useful, useful!"
Jiang Tiancheng, who served as the team officer but also wore double armor and pushed the cart in front, his eyes were closed when the sound of the gun sounded.
Not fear, but instinct!
The feet are still striding forward, and the car is still rushing forward.
Only the teeth were clenched.
All of them are!
These soldiers of the Ming army, who volunteered to serve as cart drivers, were ready to die.
After the bang, the cars are walking, and so are their legs!
No one fell.
All alive without exception!
There were no cheers, and the surprised Ming soldiers roared and pushed the cart in their hands towards the front.
"Abaaba!"
The excited mute waved the small red flag in his hand again and again.
One round, two rounds.
Whether it was a salvo or a free fire, the guns of the Qing army became burning sticks in front of the "golden fingers" of the Ming army.
This stunned the Green Battalion soldiers who were hiding in the wooden barricade.
It wasn't until the carts that could block their guns leaned against the stake line one by one that the Green Battalion reacted.
After a flurry of firing, the Ming army was still as "indifferent" as before.
Although the arrows shot out could also hit some Ming troops, most of them were rooted in the baffles erected high by the Ming army.
"Fifty-two, give me a split!"
With Wang Wu's loud shouts, 52 Ming soldiers wearing iron armor appeared in the sight of the Qing army with big axes in their hands.
According to the previous deployment, these Ming soldiers in iron armor either worked in groups of two or three, cleverly hiding behind the baffle of the cart, and vigorously swung the big axes in their hands to cut at the dense wooden stakes.
Wang Wu is also chopping!
One, two, three
After a dozen strokes, the one-foot log around was finally split in two by him.
But without resting, he slashed the axe at another stake.
Because there are so many!
The dense plum blossom piles extend more than ten zhang away to the wooden fortress of the Qing army.
The depth is tens of meters!
It's miles long!
This is only in front of the Yellow Lawn, and I don't know how many other places.
I don't know which genius general of the Qing army designed it!
Fortunately, Wang Wu only needs to open up a passage for the military and civilians to pass through.
It doesn't matter if it's narrower, as long as it can pass people.
Constantly chopping and chopping, Wang Wu's hands were shocked and painful, but he didn't stop cutting for a moment.
Against the clock!
It was necessary to destroy the stake defense line in front of the Qing army before the Qing army arrived in other places, otherwise it was very likely to fall into a fierce battle with the Qing army.
Their purpose is to break through, not to fight to the death with the Qing army here.
"Hurry, hurry!"
The ironclad soldiers were chopping, and the other Ming troops were also using various methods to deal with the wooden stakes.
There were those who cut with knives, those who shook it together, those who sawed underneath with saws, and those who stood on carts and threw canisters containing oil into the distance, and then kept throwing torches into it.
The Ming army, which could not participate in the destruction of the stake defense line, used firearms and bows and arrows to shoot at the Qing troops in the distance to cover.
Zhao Jinzhong led his archers to shoot at the Green Battalion with a rain of covered arrows, but failed to kill or injure too many of the battalion soldiers.
Most of the battalion soldiers were halfway up the mountain or on a high slope, and it was difficult for the Ming army's arrows to hit them.
Even so, Zhao Jinzhong still did not give up.
Even if the Qing army above comes down a little later, it's good!
"Hey, hey!"
The Ming army, who was buried in destroying the wooden stakes, even shouted a trumpet.
They were like fists slamming into the Qing army's defense line more than ten feet long in front of them!
Don't bother with anything else.
The style of play is no different from the attack methods used by Yuan and Hao before, they are all concentrated on attacking a little.
But this time, the Qing army's guns, which had killed and injured a large number of Ming troops, lost their effect, giving the Ming army time to destroy the wooden stakes.
Looking at the Ming army who was desperately cutting down wooden stakes, and then looking at the fire gun in their hands that seemed to be unable to kill people, the green battalion soldiers were a little dazed for a while.
"Go down and stop them!"
At the critical time, Zhao Deyi, the commander of Xun Qian, responded in time, on the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to jump out of the wooden barrier and use spears to stop the Ming army that destroyed the wooden stakes, and on the other hand, he hurriedly asked people to blow the horn and ask for reinforcements from the surrounding friendly forces.
Several wooden barricades rushed out of two or three hundred Qing troops armed with spears.
Since the Ming army only wanted to destroy the stakes, then they would stab them to death with their spears.
But this group of green battalion soldiers who came down in a hurry seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, while the wooden stake defense line firmly blocked the Ming army in the direction of Wushan, they also trapped them on the other side of the stake defense line!
To get close to the Ming army on the other side of the stake with their spears, the Qing army had to move and jump on a stake that resembled a plum blossom stake.
But there was only a five-inch distance between the piles, a distance that could only allow them to reach into their feet, and their bodies could not even think of the door.
How many Green Battalion soldiers can have the ability to come and go freely on the plum blossom pile?
Apparently there aren't many.
As a result, two or three hundred green battalion soldiers with spears in their arms roared down, blocked by their own stakes like a flood hitting a floodgate.
A brave battalion soldier tried to climb the stake, but after a few steps he slipped and fell.
In this fall, the whole person was stuck by the stake, and he couldn't move!
The other battalion soldiers who were frightened and climbed the stake quickly retreated and jumped down.
More than a dozen zhang away, the Ming army was frantically cutting down wooden stakes.
Under the unity, the tight stake defense line was bitten off like a piece of cake!
