Chapter 11 The fierce battle at Lushun Fort
Amin Heshou agreed and sent an order to order the Han army to form an array and launch an attack in the north of the city.
The number of Han soldiers who accompanied him was not large, with less than 2,000 people. Amin didn't expect them to break through the enemy's defense in one fell swoop, just to see what the enemy's arrangements were mysterious.
To put it bluntly, it is a test. Using the Han army's worthless life to conduct a test attack can also consume the Ming army's ammunition.
When Jiannu mobilized his troops and arranged troops, Zhang Pan and He Kegang briefly discussed and made corresponding adjustments.
The spearmen, swordsman, and archers drove to the front through the trenches, and then accompanied by a small number of musketeers to fight the surrendered Han army head-on.
More musketeers were quietly concentrated on the two wings of the enemy's attack surface, able to form cross firepower and carry out fierce and fierce attacks on the enemy.
He Kegang also called out the thousand musketeers he led from the fort, which was originally used as a reserve team. But this time, the assistance to Dongjiang was to train troops in actual combat. If you have the chance, wouldn't you pay it?
In Zhang Pan's view, to give full play to the firepower, it is better to attack Jiannu. If it is exposed in advance, Jiannu may be scared to attack.
As for the Han army, the equipment is poor and the combat power is not high, so it is not worth wasting too much ammunition.
The shield was blocking, the archers were responsible for suppressing and covering, and the Han army slowly approached the trench with swords and guns.
This is a trench covering trench that is more than two meters wide and three feet deep. There are many pointed wooden stakes half a foot high buried in the trench.
It's a bit strange, right? It's three feet deep, but it's waist-high, so you don't even have to fill a trench. Just avoid the sharp wooden stakes and you can rush over.
But this is a new tactic developed in martial arts, in order to attract the enemy to attack directly. This trench is not for blocking, but for delay, so that the musketeers have more opportunities to fire and shoot.
The reason is very simple. If you think you can walk through a small river, will you still have to work hard to build a bridge?
Moreover, this will not only delay the enemy's advancement, but will also become an obstacle to the enemy's retreat.
Of course, any new tactic will be launched to go through actual combat tests. However, Zhang Pan and He Kegang dare to use it under Lushunbao showed full confidence.
Sure enough, this formation made Jiannu launch a tentative attack without preparing for it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... A bunch of arrows passed through the trenches and landed on the Ming army's positions. With the cover of the chest wall trenches, the Ming army soldiers were not injured at all, except those who were unlucky at home.
Holding a shield, under the command of the officer's howling, the Han army jumped out of the trench, paid attention to their feet, and slowly approached forward.
There was no movement on the Ming army's position, just watching the enemy crossing the trench and climbing up the three-foot-high edge. More than twenty meters away were a row of deer forts and wooden stakes nailed to the ground.
The bow and arrow shot over, neither dense nor fierce, which seemed to add to the courage and courage of the Han army to attack.
"Go, go." The officer urged, "rush up!"
The Han army continued to advance, fifteen meters, ten meters...
Boom, boom, boom...
More than a dozen cannons roared from behind the wooden stakes, including Franc and Tiger Squat Cannons. They spit out fireworks and shot countless pieces of gravel and iron on the Han army head-on.
This was a fierce blow and the beginning of a defensive battle. Arrows gathered, and the Franco aircraft quickly replaced the sub-cannons and continued to fire.
A hundred muskets also started shooting, and the five-round continuous shooting method was adopted. As the white smoke rose, the gunshots kept ringing, and the interval was very short, giving people the illusion of continuous continuous shooting.
In the flash and white smoke, the lead bullet instantly flew over fifty or sixty meters away, easily piercing through the enemy's armor, and dirty blood spurted out along the hole and turned into blood arrows.
The officer howled loudly, ordered the archers to try their best to cover and suppress, and urged their subordinates to continue moving forward.
But his voice suddenly stopped, a lead bullet hit his abdomen, and the armor could not stop the whistling of the god of death.
The officer fell to the ground with his wounds, struggling happily, making a heart-shaking scream, and the blood instantly dyed his robes red.
The sound of cannons stopped, and the muskets were still firing, and more and more enemies fell in front of the wooden stake in Luzhai. However, the archers responsible for the cover were already weak and exhausted, and the arrows shot were weak.
But the enemy still approached, and with his shield, he began to use his sword, axe and gun rod to destroy the obstacles in front of him.
The sound of war drums began, and the Ming army's spearmen in the helmet and armor jumped out of the trench, rushed up shouting, and shot the spear through the wooden stakes of Luzhai.
Pupp pupp... With the sound of a creepy sharp weapon entering the flesh, the enemies who rushed to the first row screamed and wailed. The sharp spear tip tore open their armor and stabbed them into their bodies with broken bones.
The Han army behind rushed up, picked up the gun in their hands and stabbed forward. Through the obstacles, both sides glared and glared, and the shiny and blood-stained spear tips were shrinking and turning, and people kept screaming and falling into a pool of blood.
Looking ahead, he was trapped in close combat, and the Han army was already exhausted. Zhaisanggu showed a hideous smile and glanced at Amin.
Amin nodded vigorously, feeling that the time had come. Five fierce Niulus rushed up and would definitely defeat the enemy in front of them and destroy the enemy's defense system.
The horns were sobbing and the drums were rumbling. More than a thousand Jiannu who had been waiting in line, let out wild beasts howls and rushed forward.
The sound of flag drums here also changed. The spearmen quickly retreated and entered the chest wall of the trench. One hundred musketeers fired fiercely, almost collapsed the Han army, who had already suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, the order to retreat came finally. Looking at the elite troops coming from their army, the Han army was as if they were amnesty and tactfully dodged to both sides.
Arrows were densely packed, passing through the sky and shooting above the Ming army's positions. One round, two rounds, three rounds, under the cover of bows and arrows, Jiannu crossed the broad trench and prepared to attack the last obstacle in front.
Suddenly, a group of black things rose from the Ming army's position, crossed the half-man's high chest wall, passed the Luzhai and wooden stakes, flew over the head of Jiannu in front, and accurately smashed into the broad trench.
Niu Luezhennehaqi's personal soldiers reacted quickly, raised their shield to cover them, and were bent their legs by the heavy impact, and almost fell to their knees.
A sound of smashing and whimpering, many Jiannu were smashed by heavy objects falling from the sky, causing a small amount of chaos.
Nehaqi looked down and looked like a black hard pottery ball, as if there was a little sparks flashing.
"Boom!" A roar suddenly broke out under his feet, causing Nahaqi's ears to buzz, his eyes flashed black, and then a sharp pain came from his legs.
Boom, boom, boom... A series of explosions sounded in the broad trench, and dozens of thunders burst out flames and fragments, shooting towards Jiannu around him.
Before this was over, another group of thunders flew into the sky and smashed towards the enemies in the broad trench.
Some thunders fell to the ground and rolled, and the leads were burning with sparks. Some thunders exploded violently in the air because the leads were shorter, and fragments shot out in the dazzling flames and black smoke, but the killing surface was even larger.
The smoke filled the gunpowder, the fire flashed, the loud noises shrapnel flew everywhere.
Fifty grenades threw two or three hundred thunders one after another, almost covering the large section of the wide trench where Jiannu was located.
He exclaimed and screamed one after another, but was immediately suppressed by black smoke, fire and loud noises. In this slaughterhouse like hell, I don’t know how many Jiannu were killed and injured by bombing.
Jiannu, who was rushing in front, was also shocked by the sudden change, and his pace couldn't help but slow down, even stopped, looking back in amazement.
The gunshot suddenly rang out, several times more dense than before. Countless lead bullets carried heat and death and shot towards Jiannu in front of the obstacle.
The fire flashed on the chest wall was so dense that it was almost connected, accompanied by the heavy white smoke brought by countless gunshots, obscuring the vision.
On the side and front, thousands of musketeers' carousels made Jiannu like a trapped beast trapped in a sea of fireworks, with scars all over his body and flesh flying everywhere.
Niu Luezhenke Luoha was suddenly knocked to the ground by his personal soldiers, and then there was a loud noise beside him.
A stream of hot liquid flowed down, and the personal soldier's body stopped moving and lay on his body.
But Luoha pushed away the subordinate who was loyal to protecting him, and saw a big hole in his neck cut from his personal soldiers, and blood was flowing out, and it was no longer helpful.
Looking up, Roha saw a personal soldier running towards him. He suddenly stopped as if he had been knocked hard, and fell to the ground and twitched, blood flowing out of his back.
"Boom", this is the last sound in the world that Ke Luoha heard. A lead bullet hit his face, and immediately bloody and blood were blurred.
Zhao Mengzi tilted his head and aimed at a stumbled enemy. In the smoke of gunpowder, this guy looked blurry and weird.
He pulled down the plate machine, the fuse fell down, and then a ball of white smoke rose in front of his eyes, and the guy could not see it.
With the thrust in the back seat of the musket, Zhao Mengzi turned sideways and handed the empty gun to his comrades behind him. After waiting for a while, one of the comrades pushed another loaded musket into Zhao Mengzi's hand.
Zhao Mengzi silently turned around and set up the musket, installed the fuse, and pointed the muzzle at another enemy.
Before he could aim at the fire, a lead bullet shot and hit Jiannu's stomach.
The Jiannu seemed to have been punched hard, his feet were paused, his waist bent, and his knees could no longer be supported, so he slowly fell to the ground.
Jiannu just kept kneeling and shrinking, and after a while, he fell down dejectedly.
Zhao Mengzi rolled his eyes, turned his muzzle slightly, and pulled the machine towards a figure in the smoke.
In Guangning, he was just a brave man at first, but later he became a soldier when he expanded his defenders a lot.
Then he retreated to Ningyuan with the army, received more than two months of rigorous training, and became a veteran with combat experience.
And for Zhao Mengzi, such a battle now, is not more nervous and dangerous than when he was defending Guangning. Although he has no wide and tall city walls, he is no longer the timid and fearful rookie.
