Nanming: I can build wonders

Judging from the current situation, it is more beneficial to the Heshuote Khanate, because they can use long-range condescending projectiles as long as they stay in the grass shed to shelter from the rain.

And there is no need to worry that the bow and arrow will be damaged and the firearm will not hit when used in rain and snow.

Presumably, they mostly use bows and arrows, and He Shuote's garbage shotguns are directly abolished in rainy days.

Due to the slope, the original bow and arrow with a range of 150 meters may be able to reach an effective range of more than 250 meters.

As for Daming's trigger rifle (Migne gun), this weather will still be affected.

Daming's smokeless gunpowder fixed-pack cardboard bullets are indeed waterproof, but the firearm itself is still difficult to deal with if it is flooded.

In addition to playing low and high, the range and viewing angle are limited, and there is rain interference, it is really not easy to attack.

Pan Aqiang felt that since they were all here, let's attack with a shot and see if he could win?
He called two small guard captains and asked them each to bring a centurion and try to attack.

In order to ensure the hit rate of the bullets, the infantry of the Guards chose a multi-level three-dimensional attack.

Part of it is climbing up to attract firepower, and part of it is sniping the archer on the opposite side from the rear.

The soldiers who bravely climbed up were instructed to add an extra layer of armor, with a bloated body, to go forward against the thin sleet.

Sure enough, when I reached about 150 meters, I heard a strange whistling sound, which was the sound of bowstrings, arrows, and wind and snow mixed together, echoing in the mountains.

The archers of Heshuo Te were full of ambitions, and it was rare to have such an advantage in fighting, and they drew their bows more vigorously than before.

What they didn't know was that these bows and arrows didn't break armor at all!

Pan Aqiang's personal soldiers held an umbrella for him. He was smoking a pipe and observing the enemy's situation with binoculars.

He saw his own snipers aiming at the enemy's archers, and the enemy's archers didn't know what to do, and would straighten up and shoot arrows from time to time. Before the arrows were shot, they would fall down.

If the weather is good, the archer might be instantly killed before he even has the chance to raise his bow and arrow.

Under the cover of snipers, the advance of the front row infantry went very smoothly.

The infantry in the front row were holding shotguns, an artifact of close combat, and eager expressions appeared on their faces. Obviously, there were too few opportunities to use close combat.

When they continued to get closer, they found that the fire was flickering in the grass and wood shed of the Heshuote people, and the sound was loud, which was their shotguns.

Heshuote people are not stupid, since it is raining outside, they should hide in a covered place and shoot.

From the high-power binoculars, it can be seen that it is actually a long bird gun, which is ignited, not a flintlock.

The most embarrassing thing is that the soldiers of Heshuote found that the Ming army's bullets were so accurate that they didn't shoot their heads.

They raised their matchlock guns over their heads and shot blindly without even looking at them!

There are only bullets but no people, and it has an African feeling.

For the soldiers at the bottom of Heshuo, participating in the war is mainly to fill their stomachs. They cherish their lives very much. Raising them above their heads and horizontally above their heads can not only cause a certain amount of fire suppression and damage to the enemy, but also be able to fight as much as possible. Why not do it to save your own life.

Under the blind shooting of the Heshuo Special Forces, the situation of the Ming army's front row troops is still good. The enemy's firearms are fighting lively, but the momentum is not realistic, and the hit rate is very touching. The guards are still moving forward steadily, without being affected at all. .

Close to 50 meters!
The guards began to speed up, and the hundred-man squad wanted to concentrate their strength and annihilate the enemy in one go.

at this time!

The Heshuote Khanate pulled out its trump card: stone.

The primitive way of throwing stones will work in the 21st century.

For example, in the plateau border conflict between a certain big country in the east and a certain three countries, most of the time they are throwing stones at each other.

Soon, a large number of stones were thrown from the enemy's camp and fell on the advancing guards like hailstones. Although they could not cause much damage, they effectively hindered the advance of the guards.

Then the Heshuo special forces opened up many places in the camp, and rolled out big rolling stones one after another down the mountain!
These rolling stones weighed about a hundred catties. The edges of the four legs were chiseled off, and they were nearly spherical. They rolled down the slope one by one, and the rolling speed became faster and faster.

Facing the boulder, the officer decisively ordered loudly: "Retreat! Find cover!"

Frightened by the boulder, many soldiers slipped and rolled down the hillside.

All of a sudden, people turned their backs, and the first attack was declared a failure.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Admiral Pan Aqiang gave up his plan to attack, and immediately ordered: "Gather the troops together, call for gold and retreat today."

After the melee ended, the attacking team began to count the number of people. Fortunately, the guards generally ran at a top speed, and none of them died, and they all ran back.

However, more than 30 people were injured by stones, and the most serious one was a broken leg!

Pan Aqiang looked at the map. According to the reconnaissance soldiers, this is the only way to go around, and I'm afraid it won't work if we don't take down the Saigu Mountain Pass.

Then wait, it is impossible for the weather to be like this all the time.

Fortunately, one day later, the sky at the mountain pass was fine, and the sun shot fiercely at the ground.

Pan Aqiang didn't want to wait any longer, and ordered the mortars to bombard the mountain pass ahead with full coverage!
Boom boom boom!
Daming's artillery finally started to show its power, bombarding the grass and wood sheds on the mountain pass indiscriminately.

Blow up Heshuote's camp to pieces.

Under the cover of mortars, the infantrymen of the Guards raised their shields and slowly advanced towards the hillside to the sound of drums from the military band.

What is unexpected is that many soldiers in the Heshuote Khanate resisted the artillery fire and pushed boulders down the mountain!

Facing the boulder, the guards were rarely helpless.

As soon as they saw the boulder, their mortar positions had to be changed quickly, otherwise they would be crushed by the stone in vain.

"Trouble, really trouble!"

Pan Aqiang had a headache. The Guards had another weapon, the Black Whirlwind Rocket.

But the mountain wind at the mountain pass is so fierce, if the black whirlwind rocket is blown back by the wind and blows up to his camp, wouldn't it be a heavy loss?
Beside Pan Aqiang was a young military officer named Xu Xianwu, who was the No. [-] military officer who escaped from the Qing Dynasty.

He fought bravely with Huang Qing in Gansu before, and now he is an official in the first town.

Xu Xianwu watched the whole process through the binoculars, and said to Pan Aqiang: "General Pan, this place is dangerous, and we can't do it overnight. The reason why the army of tomorrow is not good for attacking is that the road is slippery. General, why don't you wait until the road is dry before attacking?"

Pan Aqiang also knew this, and replied in a deep voice: "The weather in the snow area is unpredictable, I am worried that it will rain again tomorrow, why not take advantage of the clear weather today and win it this morning!"

"What the general said is very true!"

Xu Xianwu continued to observe the pass, and said: "I don't know who is guarding this place, but the guards are safe!"

In fact, when the guards attacked today, they also used tentative methods. The soldiers sold what they learned now, and used the tin horns to continuously output the Tibetan swear words they had just learned to the top of the mountain.

Holding the binoculars, Xu Xianwu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointed at one place and said: "General Pan, look, this place may be usable!"
