Win the Ding 1617

Chapter 516 You Have Cannons And I Have Cannons!

Like bursts of spring thunder rolling across the sky, as the gunpowder burned violently, bursts of shells roared towards the Qing army camp.

Taking advantage of the simple fortifications of the first line of defense of the Qing army, the soldiers of the car battalion quickly placed the four six-pound guns.The parapet, which was originally a bunker for gunfire soldiers, became the most ready-made bunker for Cheying artillery, and with a little modification, it became a good artillery emplacement.

In this position, the six-pound gun manufactured by Simen Nanzhong has already entered the effective range. Although it is not the best range, it can barely hit the second line of defense. In the area where the focus was taken care of, the ground that was originally frozen and hard was slightly muddy. Although these six-pound guns weighed less than [-] catties, they were quite difficult to operate, and they were easy to become targets for Qing army artillery.

The gunners of the car battalion, under the command of their respective artillery team officers, fired and reloaded leisurely.These gunners usually live in high dignity in Ningyuan City, and the treatment is no less than that of Wu Sangui's servants, and the training is often carried out on weekdays.Although their [无^伤^][].[][].[]'s artillery technical and tactical level and shooting effect can only be said to be barely qualified by the standards of the Nanyue Army, which is not ideal; Comparing soldiers with basic mathematical calculation knowledge and knowledge of surveying, who can skillfully use distance measuring tools, and grassroots officers with a large amount of gunpowder and shells to pile up artillery, it is undeniable that the gunners of these battalions can be regarded as the current Ming Dynasty. An elite soldier in the army.The reason why it is necessary to bombard the area between the first line and the second line of defense again is that the purpose of the Ningyuan Ming army is to worry about when they charge.There will be remnants of the Qing soldiers rushing out from some corner.This kind of artillery fire is completely to add another insurance to everyone's psychology.

Not to mention that the Qing soldiers of the brigade had completely retreated to the garrison holes of the second line of defense, even the few Qing soldiers hiding near the parapet of the defense line might not be able to hit the target with the cannon ballistic of the Hongyi Cannon.

The gunner next to each gun kept using the parallax method to estimate the distance, and while they were calling out the number, the other gunner kept adjusting the muzzle with a crank and a screw.Under their aiming and shooting, shells whizzed out one after another, causing clods of frozen soil to fly up from time to time on the defense line, and occasionally some reinforcement timbers flew into the air.

After a round of artillery fire.The opposite line of defense was still silent.Presumably, they were all dead, or there were no one left. The general led by Ning Yuan's army pulled out his sword in a very mighty way, "You guys, follow me to kill the slaves!"

The beating of war drums made people's blood hot and courageous.Countless soldiers of the Ningyuan Army wearing folded upper scarves let out a cry.The chariot was propelled rumblingly, all the flags were raised high, and the swords and guns were raised high.Immediately, the swords and guns are like ears of wheat, and the flags are like firewood.The black mass of heads was like a cloud.The dense formation stretched from Hongluo Mountain in the west to Baitai Mountain in the east, overwhelming the Qing army's second line of defense like waves.Tan Bai and the others waited nervously at the entrance of the Tunbing Cave. A watchtower was erected on the third line of defense in the north. Taking advantage of the distance, they could avoid artillery fire, observe the movements of Ming soldiers, and pass on military orders.

The sudden attack of artillery fire just now made his right hand tightly gripping the handle of the knife drenched with sweat, "Damn, how many years have you been fighting, why do you look like a coward who is on the battlefield for the first time today?" He took off his gloves , Let the sweaty right hand be dried in the cold wind.

In the long second line of defense from east to west, there are 35 big Buddha Lang machine guns, [-] small Buddha wolf machine guns, and fifty tiger squatting guns under the slightly lower part of the parapet. Mouth flat.The gunners of each gun held matchlocks and other objects in their hands. Under the protection of swords, shields and shields, they waited unblinkingly for the order from above.The handymen and coats assigned to each gun according to the weight of the gun also looked nervously at the gunner, pricked up their ears, and waited for the order from above, lest they miss a major event and be cut off the sacrificial flag.

The flags on the watchtower waved, indicating that the Qing soldiers in the garrison caves could enter the position.

Tan Bai and others nervously urged his subordinates to come out of the cave and hide in the ditch behind the parapet.

Although the line of defense was long, the terrain in this area had already been thoroughly surveyed by the Qing army. Where to march and where to march in large groups were all in the minds of officers at all levels.And the few hard and flat passages for the Ming army to charge have long been blocked by large and small artillery.In front of the earth wall, like the first line of defense, there are trenches and low walls.In the gaps in these earthen walls, at least one Buddha wolf machine gun and one tiger crouching gun are mounted.

Tan Bai, who defended this section of the parapet, had more than 700 firearms under his command.Divided into three rows with Niulu as the unit, the firecrackers in the front row leaned on their shoulders and stepped on the steps reserved under the parapet, nervously watching the charging Ming army chariots And the formation of troops swarming in on chariots.

Three hundred steps, 250 steps, two hundred steps, 180 steps.

The parapet of the second line of defense is getting closer and closer.Tan Bai lowered his body as much as possible and looked out from the parapet. The formation of the Ming army began to become dense and chaotic. The narrow passage ahead slowed down the speed of the attack, while the swarming crowd behind was eager to move forward. meritorious service.

After a hundred steps, the formation of the Ming army became more and more crowded and chaotic, and the heads of the crowds were rushing forward, as if they were going to a temple fair.People only remember that beheading Qing soldiers can get rich rewards, but they forget that the opposite is a beast with fangs and claws that can devour life.

Just in time!

From east to west, the second line of defense sounded dull horns.Almost all the soldiers and handymen of the Qing army shouted.

Those handymen rushed forward, raised their respective cannons and yelled, and placed the already loaded cannons in the positions reserved for the cannons.

"fire!"

Hundreds of cannons were fired almost at the same time, the huge recoil shook the frozen ground, and thick puffs of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.Amidst the deafening cannons, 35 Big Buddha Lang machine guns, [-] Little Buddha Wolf machine guns, and fifty Tiger Crouching guns opened fire on the entire second line of defense.

In order to create the greatest damage to the Ming army, these artillery were uniformly loaded with shotguns!

The huge momentum of more than a hundred artillery firing at the same time is like a huge gust of wind.Dense lead pellets and iron bullets weave an iron net in a narrow area.Under the rain of bullets, several chariots pushed by the Ningyuan car battalion to the second parapet were overturned to the ground. The Ningyuan army behind the chariots and followed by the left and right were swept to the ground. There were dense blood holes all over his body.

The sudden blow immediately stunned the officers and soldiers of the Ming army who were just about to rush up to kill and slash, and then took Jiannu's head to report their meritorious service.The team that was originally swarming up became even more chaotic.People were rushing here and there, officials couldn't find soldiers, and soldiers couldn't find officials.Even if the officers wanted to organize an attack or retreat.He was also beaten into a panic by the constantly flying projectiles.

"The Gunner. Go!"

Seeing that the Ming army's team completely showed its original shape, and presenting the most familiar scene of the Qing army, how could Tan Bai, a grassroots general with rich battlefield experience, let go of such an opportunity?Immediately command the coated soldiers and musketeers under the command to enter the shooting position.

"Fire!"

Another round of dense projectiles hit the Ming army dozens of steps away.

Just now, he was shouting for a fierce battle, the general who held a knife in one hand and raised the battle flag in the other.At this time, under the guard of a dozen servants, weeping loudly.Running on the road with both hands and feet.

Today's attack.Totally heaven-to-hell nightmare.Originally thought that under the intensive rocket and artillery fire, Jiannu's defense had already collapsed, but who would have thought.These damned dog tartars have ambushed such a vicious back move?

The Buddha Wolf machine gun and the Hongyi six-pound gun fired at the gap in the earth wall at unknown times, that was the worst nightmare.The cannons arranged crosswise and the impenetrable rain of bullets make people have nowhere to hide.

Then came the firecrackers.The dense crowd and the distance of dozens of steps all created the best shooting effect for the gunners.At such a short distance, those musketeers didn't need to aim at all. As long as they fired their guns, a soldier of the Ming army would scream, a cloud of blood would burst out of his body, and he would stagger and fall to the ground.

"My lord! My lord! We can't delay here, we have to rush up or retreat." A boss somehow jumped in front of the general, and howled at him with an ashen face.If it weren't for such an occasion, if a mere chief executive dared to speak to the general in such a way, he would have been served with a military stick, or at worst, he would go to the camp with arrows and behead his head to show the public.

However, today's situation is really special.The general didn't care too much, he grabbed the back of a chariot and carefully looked at the situation on the other side.

After a round of artillery fire, the Qing army began to shoot continuously, and the gunmen took over the loaded firecrackers of the people behind and fired at the Ming army.The monotonous and continuous sound of firecrackers became the tone and source of running, howling and painful groans on the battlefield.

"Damn, what are you talking about going forward at this time? Withdraw! Withdraw! Whoever the hell wants to come will come!"

General Shen cursed loudly from his heart, and with the help of several servants, he dashed towards the way he came.The galloping speed far surpassed Johnson and Roberts who had taken banned drugs.

From the beginning of the charge to the current rush of wolves, in just a few minutes, the paper tiger painted skins of this group of Guanning Army were torn apart by the artillery fire of the two white flags and thrown into the sea!

"kill!"

The Qing army did not have the legacy of the ancient aristocrats who did not kill Ermao, and the poor and the poor did not chase after them. What they followed was the law of the jungle that killed you while you were sick.Seeing that the menacing Ming army was crushed by a round of artillery fire from its own, and then fled under the continuous bombardment of firecrackers, if they didn't attack now, when would they wait?The first level of military merit is right in front of you, just go up and chop it!

Dozens of springboards were set up between the parapet and the ditch by the handymen. Those Qing soldiers with knives, guns, axes and sickles jumped out of the ditch screaming strangely, jumped off the parapet, and almost fled on foot. The Ning Yuan army slashed and killed in the back!

The densely armored Qing saber shield-handed pikemen came from behind, causing the already chaotic Ningyuan army to the point of collapse. The gunners of the car battalion left their chariots and artillery and turned and fled. The infantry who came thought that the chariot was in the way, so they pushed the chariot to the side of the ditch.

In addition, the thin and weak soldiers were pushed into the trenches that had not been completely filled by the comrades who were running wildly like the wildebeest migration in Africa, and the sharp wooden thorns inside immediately stabbed them into flesh string.

Those Ning Yuan soldiers who were stabbed by the sharp wooden thorns buried in the bottom of the ditch clutched the wooden thorns protruding from their bodies.There were bursts of howls that were not like human voices.Most of the people rushing from behind refused to look at those brothers who were stabbed to death by sharp wooden thorns, they just stepped on the bodies of these brothers in the same robe, crossed over the trench, and escaped as quickly as possible This place of death.

The scene just now was deeply engraved in their hearts like a branding iron: the sound of cannons that seemed to never stop sounded, and the few people who rushed to the front in the team were directly smashed into pieces by the dense bullets. A pile of minced meat, and the people who followed were also bloody.Blood flow profusely.Rush a few more steps.Those big and small Flang machine guns or Hongyi cannons came in with a burst of dense shotgun shells, and the Ningyuan army who rushed forward in a mess were directly opened up into a flesh and blood alley.

The trench is quite deep, and it seems that water has been splashed on both sides.Very slippery.The blood of those who died in the first place.Already freezes quickly in extremely cold weather.It is even more slippery on the surface of the trench, and it is difficult to climb out.Everyone has to be careful that someone falls off their heads and presses on them...

"It's a pity that the terrain of Tashan is narrow. Iron cavalry cannot be used. If our army of iron cavalry comes out together, we will definitely be able to drive this group of Nanman into the sea!"

On Tashan Fort, the Dorgon brothers rode their horses and stood, looking at the magnificent scene in front of them, which made Duo Duo feel emotional.

"Duoduo, don't be greedy. We just need to defend this place and prevent the army of Uncle Ningyuan from going to Guangning, Jinzhou."

From Tashan Fort to the sea, at this time, there was a neat and orderly military formation on one side, and on the other side were the fleeing Ming army all over the mountains and plains. Among them, there were many screaming civilians.

The so-called defeat like a mountain is exactly what happened.

The Qing soldiers fully used the hunting experience accumulated over hundreds of years and thousands of years in this pursuit battle, driving, intercepting, besieging, and flanking, giving the already chaotic Ming army the impression that they were enemies on all sides. , can only rush towards the sea.

Among the defeated soldiers, the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers trampled on the peasants. The battalion, infantry, and peasants were mixed together, which greatly slowed down everyone's running speed.Many people huddled together in a mess, and as soon as someone fell, they would be trampled on by countless big feet, and amidst howling, they would be trampled into a pulp like that.

No one cared about them, and everyone ran away on their own, especially when the Qing soldiers were constantly covering up and outflanking them.

Under the fear, countless people only knew how to run as hard as they could. After running for several miles, many people just ran to death like this.

It suddenly became clear before the eyes, and finally, the retreating crowd poured out of the first parapet, and the flag of the Ming army appeared on the front.

Immediately, these rout soldiers rushed towards the banner of the opposite army formation with snot and tears all over their faces, like orphans who had been bullied and finally saw their mother.

However, they forgot that according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, attacking the army's formation head-on is a crime of beheading on the spot. According to the rules, they should go around the two wings of the army formation and then rectify the troops.

What greeted them was the ruthless sound of firing guns.

"Dare to attack the formation of our army, kill without mercy!"

Li Huamei's cold and crisp voice was originally like an oriole, but Wu Sangui's ears shuddered, this little girl is too ruthless!Where is this wintersweet blooming in Yingshuang and Aoxue, it is simply a tigress!

How did he know that Li Huamei's nickname was Scarlet Winged Tiger?

The gunners of the Nanyue Army, who were squatting or standing, pulled the trigger, and the flames from the muzzles of the guns in the queue immediately joined together, and amidst the sound of explosions, thick white smoke rose.One by one, the defeated soldiers in Ningyuan Town were hit by lead bullets fired by dense platoons.Blood sprayed from their bodies and they fell to the ground screaming.

Those Southern Cantonese troops who opened fire on the rout were all veterans of the Guards Brigade, who were old in battle.Faced with these wailing and screaming friendly soldiers one by one, their expressions remained normal, as if the overturned ones in front of them were nothing more than a group of targets.After several waves of volleyball sounds, those rout soldiers came to their senses, and fled to both sides howling, or collapsed on the ground motionless, revealing the formation of Qing soldiers chasing after them.

"fire!"

On the artillery position not far behind Li Huamei, Shi Lang put down the command flag in his hand.

"Tom!", "Tom!", "Tom!", "Tom!", "Tom!"

Amidst the dull sound, the muzzles of the five large-caliber mortars spewed out thick smoke and flames.There was almost no vibration in the barrels of the cannons. With the help of gunpowder, five huge and heavy shells flew out of the barrels, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and slammed into the formation of the roaring and howling Qing soldiers. Hit hard and run away.

"Come back quickly..." A Niu Luzhangjing roared mournfully, and the sound of shells whizzing overhead cracking the air made him instinctively feel the danger approaching.

But it was too late at this time.

The mortar shell, which was several times heavier than ordinary shells, climbed to the top of the ballistic trajectory, then fell quickly, and hit the chasing team of these Qing soldiers.

The shells that fell from the sky happened to land in the middle of the team again.On the spot, he smashed half of Niu Luzhangjing's body, and he collapsed to the ground.

Five mortar shells weighing more than a hundred catties slowly rolled and crushed among the crowd. Wherever they went, there was a burst of chaos and exclamations in the formation of the Qing soldiers.

Just now they used the power of their own artillery fire to hunt down and kill the Qing soldiers of the Ningyuan Army, and immediately repeated the mistakes of the Ningyuan Army. Under another round of mortar shells, the lime bombs and poisonous smoke bombs fired by the mortar It was a big defeat.

"It's our turn! Kill!"

He Yifei, the temporary commander of Xuanwu Town, waved a long knife in his hand and shouted, leading the two battalions of soldiers to rush out.
