Villager of Daming

Chapter 1186: False Shouting and Mixed Fights

"Is there really anyone who dares to charge into the gun array? Are they trying to save their lives?" The most active Old Five looked surprised.

His three older brothers actually nodded in unison, expressing their support for their fifth brother's opinion.

They had seen a normal paper bullet gun array, with five shots. After the fifth shot, the bullet for the first shot had been loaded.

I practice this specifically when slaughtering pigs, as I happen to eat pork. Sometimes I can't find the bullet in the stewed meat, and I can eat the deformed lead bullet when I eat it.

The pig was resistant to attack and was shot several times. As long as the bullets were not fatal, it didn't care at all and kept running around recklessly.

Xu Da and Zhao Yao looked up at the sky at the same time, wondering, could it be that the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were more elite than those defending Helin? If so, why didn't they go to defend Helin?
When the three armies attacked Helin, only the western army had the easiest time, while the eastern army had to keep planning back and forth across the river.

"Do you know how to fight with bayonets, Hanhan?" the village head was anxious again.

Zhu Wentian curled his lips. He didn't believe that the Northern Yuan army here would be so powerful. According to historical records, the Ming Dynasty did not defeat Wang Baobao, and the Northern Yuan army here had each fought for its own leader, with the smallest group having a few thousand men and the largest group having tens of thousands.

There were hills one after another ahead, and the charge itself was damaging. The hills were lush and leafy, with thorns and vines on the ground.

When picking mushrooms in the mountains, try to walk the path that others have walked and choose places with fewer thorns. There are no mushrooms in places with many thorns. Mushrooms are generally only found in wild hazelnut bushes and pine forests.

It’s just that the hazelnuts in the mountains of Northeast China are always eaten by insects. Unless you come across a large hazelnut forest with large hazelnuts, otherwise, if you peel a bunch of small and medium-sized hazelnuts, at least half of them will have small holes in them.

How did they charge in such an environment? Did the shooting team not coordinate well?

Zhu Wentian was silent for a moment, unable to figure it out. Just wait! Anyway, he didn't believe that the enemy could rush to the circle of guards of the palace.

While everyone was constantly speculating and thinking, the Northern Yuan army was indeed charging in the battle ahead.

It was at the bottom of one mountain and another. A large group of Ming scouts joined together and shouted, "It's over, run!", "The Northern Yuan people are coming!", "We can't defeat them!", "We are defeated, the ones in front are defeated, and the ones behind are also defeated", while running down the opposite mountain.

The people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty who were chasing thought they had really won the battle. When they were chasing, they were like people running, rolling all over the place, and they always bumped into thorns and stones in the grass.

On the opposite hillside, at about the same position, a large group of people wearing straw 'wreaths' were firing volleys in an organized manner.

After the bullet hit the person, he rolled down, and the sounds of screaming and shouting mixed together.

The Northern Yuan people on the mountain behind couldn't see clearly, but they just followed. The entire hillside of that mountain and the valley below were piled with countless Northern Yuan people's corpses.

Some people are not dead yet, and they are still getting up and chasing! They always thought that their side was chasing the Ming army, which is a credit!
The Ming generals on the opposite hillside were scanning the area with binoculars, their brows furrowed. They also didn't know what to do.

They were afraid that the Northern Yuan people would discover the situation and stop charging. They were also worried that some of them would pretend to be hit and hide in bushes and other places.

When the enemy attacks from the valley, guns will be useless because the hillside is not a perfect diagonal line but uneven, with bushes and trees, and shooting from top to bottom will not be as good as the current flat shooting.

It is also more difficult to shoot from the bottom up, and you might end up having to fight with a bayonet.

If the generals are not prepared to show their bravery, why should they fight hand-to-hand combat? There will be casualties.

"Send a message quickly, explain the situation clearly, and ask what to do next."

A young general could not bear the pressure anymore. He saw the Beiyuan people in the valley crawling up again, seemingly uninjured.

"Those in front, retreat upwards, keep your distance, prepare to throw grenades, tell those who are running to hurry up, and blow the bugle! No need to lure the enemy." Another general noticed the situation and told the bugler to blow the bugle. The gunners at the bottom who were approaching the valley retreated up the mountain and retreated behind the others to rest and reload.

The medium distance is most suitable for preparing to throw grenades from a high place, and your own scouts should speed up and run.

After about three minutes, there were no Ming troops at the bottom of the valley, and the lower section of the slope also disappeared.

Some of the Beiyuan people who were chasing them were alert and realized that something was wrong. Why did so many of their own people fall down? More of them groaned and covered various parts of their bodies and cried out.

Some became addicted to chasing, and waded and rolled down from above. They found that the Ming army had given up many positions. What else could they say? Charge!
"Hand grenade ready, three, two, one, throw!"

The general gave an order and a bugle was blown, and suddenly something like stone appeared on the mountain.

Then there was a 'boom~~boom...'

The others took the opportunity to reload and check their own conditions.

Especially the scouts who lured the enemy, many of them had big cuts on their faces. They didn’t feel the pain just now, but now they feel burning.

It hurt so much that I cried loudly. The person next to me helped to wrap gauze around my body while I waited to go back for treatment. After tightening it, the pain was no longer so severe.

"My face is disfigured, my face is disfigured, it's over, it's over! I can't find a wife!" One person continued to cry.

The person who was helping with the simple treatment was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Don't you have a wife?"

"She hasn't given birth to a baby for me yet, and I've been with the team twice. I didn't know that it wouldn't work! My face is disfigured, and they don't like me anymore." The man continued to cry.

The general next to him came over and kicked the man in the butt: "You are a scout in the army. You have made great contributions. What are you afraid of with a wound on your face? Which woman dares to leave you? Damn it! You were running happily just now! Now it’s over. This engagement is over, alas~~"

After the general finished shouting, he sighed heavily. It was indeed over over there. The Northern Yuan people who had rushed down began to run back, and the people on the mountain over there stopped coming down.

When the bullets were fired, some people had not noticed the situation yet. Grenades were thrown from high places to low places. Some of them exploded on the ground, and some exploded in the air, blowing up a large area.

Even the dumbest person would realize that something was wrong and they should run. Those with injured arms could still run on their feet, but it was impossible for those with injured legs to crawl using their hands.

After grabbing the thorns for a few times, his hands were covered in blood and he cried in pain and anxiety.

Some people have bullets or grenade shrapnel in their stomachs, and the pain is like having diarrhea. They can't use any strength in their bodies and can only cover the wounds on their stomachs with their hands and wail!
……

It was not until this time that the telegram made the situation clear: the enemy was charging, and it was a special situation under special terrain, so they were ready to use grenades.

"It's over. Once the grenades are out, we'll have to take the initiative next time. Wear leg wraps, compete with them in speed, seize the surrounding high ground, and surround them. Remember to leave the most convenient side for attack open and don't block it."

After receiving the detailed telegram, Xu Da shook his head and gave orders, asking the messenger to go out and find people and arrange a special team to carry out a forced march and bring more grenades.

At the same time, they are looking for the location of water sources and determining rivers or streams. Now they are officially entering the war mode, and both sides have to compete in terms of strategy and tactics.

"Two thousand guards should go out to avoid casualties caused by shooting angle problems. At least the assault rifles can fire in bursts."

Ling'er also came over at this time. When she heard that a grenade was going to be thrown, she also understood that the contact was over.
