Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Hold it down! Hold it down! Don't even fire the guns, the cannons will wait for my order before firing!" Qian Qi ordered loudly, and then couldn't help but swear, "Fuck! The bandits now occasionally fight La!"

Although he was a little dismissive of taking down Ningling County, Gao Yingxiang still commanded in a very orderly manner.First of all, three or four hundred veterans from three sides held bows and arrows and pushed carts to cover thousands of refugees with sacks full of sand and stones, to fill up the moat without water.

The bullets from the firecrackers simply couldn't penetrate the thick wood in front of the cart.At this time, there were only six one-pound cannons and tiger crouching cannons in Ningling County.To be on the safe side, Qian Qi also moved the two cannons behind the second city wall.So at this time, on this city wall, there are only two artillery pieces that can deal with the peasant rebel army.

Seeing that the car has entered about [-] steps, Qian Qi ordered loudly: "Launch!"

With a huge roar, two iron bullets were fired.But the shooting effect of the two shells was not very good.The first shot missed the car at all, but jumped on the ground four or five times according to inertia, and took the lives of three unlucky peasant rebel soldiers.

The snow in the fields in winter is already very thick, and the thick snow layer acts as a good buffer, reducing the power of the ricochet of the solid shell by a lot.

The other shot was a bit better, hitting a corner of a plank of a rolling cart, causing the people behind the rolling cart to panic, but the casualties caused were also negligible.

If it is an ordinary bandit, even two shells can make them mess up.But those who pushed the carts were all veterans of the three sides after all, they just shouted: "Push the carts quickly! Push the carts!" It was to speed up the speed of pushing the carts, trying to push the carts closer to the city wall and into the artillery The dead angle made the artillery no longer able to threaten them.

The artillery fired two more rounds.This time the artillery with a corrected firing angle caused some casualties to the peasant rebels.Two trucks were smashed, and the ricochets took more than twenty lives.However, after two rounds of shooting, the Luche had reached eighty paces, and the artillery on the city wall was helpless against the peasant rebels who had entered a blind spot.

But at this time, the peasant rebel army also entered the range of the firecrackers.Under Qian Qi's order, more than fifty firecrackers fired their first volley.But the effect of this shooting was quite poor, and the bullets were basically blocked by the plank in front of the truck.Seeing this situation, Qian Qi could only order loudly: "Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"

After all, the moat must be filled up in order to attack the city wall.As long as the peasant rebels did not have the cover of rolling carts when they filled the moat, the firecrackers could still cause them a lot of casualties.There are not many ammunition in the city, so Qian Qi still needs to save some.

The cart was gradually pushed to a place about ten steps away from the moat.Both sides know that success or failure is at stake.So the soldiers on both sides held their breath, waiting for the decisive moment.The air on the entire battlefield seemed to freeze.

It was a leader of the Peasant Rebel Army who broke the frozen atmosphere. After he shouted, the veterans on the three sides who pushed the carts jumped out of the carts with bows and arrows, and shot rows of arrows towards the city wall.Caught off guard.Several soldiers of the Runing Army were shot dead and wounded.

But after making preparations, those soldiers immediately bowed down.Hide behind the battlements and watch.And under the protection of shields and armor, there was no further increase in casualties.

However, the purpose of the peasant rebel army has also been achieved. They have suppressed the gunners on the city wall with bows and arrows.So the refugees who were fighting against the sandbags on their shoulders yelled together, and started running desperately over the cart to throw the sandbags into the moat.

These refugees who dared to die to fill the river were all voluntary.At that time, Gao Yingxiang only gave them a full meal, and promised to let these refugees enter the city first to plunder, and to select the brave ones to enter the old camp.It attracted tens of thousands of refugees to sign up enthusiastically.

Gao Yingxiang could only choose these few thousand relatively strong ones.Of course, if these refugees do not obey orders, there will also be a supervisory team who broke into the old camp behind them.However, the morale of these hungry and frightened refugees was absolutely high, and even the casualties caused by the previous artillery fire did not bring them any fear.

But this time it was only a few dozen steps.Throw a bag of gravel!You can live better if you run there, and you don’t have to live that hard life if you can’t make it through, so you have to fight no matter what.

And the musketeers who had been prepared on the city wall immediately stood up and fired again under Qian Qi's order.But the effect of this shooting was still very poor. With the sandbags on their backs covering them, few refugees were hit by the bullets.Instead, some of the archers of the peasant rebel army were knocked down by bullets, making the archers rush to hide behind the cart again.

"Don't stand still! Get ready! Fire!" Qian Qi ordered loudly.

Because the effect of the two shots was very poor, the gunners were a little hesitant.But after hearing Qian Qi's order, they all took over the firecrackers in the hands of the soldiers in charge of loading ammunition in the back row, stood up straight, and fired again.

Unexpectedly, the effect of this shooting was quite astonishing. Since those refugees had already thrown sandbags into the moat and were running back with their backs to the city wall, the volley of more than fifty firecrackers immediately took away more than thirty The lives of defenseless refugees.

Qian Qi was very excited when he saw something going on.He immediately shouted: "Attention! Don't shoot when they come, just shoot them in the back. Listen to my orders! Call the other musketeers here too!"

This time, the soldiers that Qian Qi brought into Ningling County had more than 150 firecrackers in their hands.Seeing that the peasant rebel army was mainly attacking the west wall, Qian Qi arranged one hundred musketeers here, and the rest were distributed on other walls.

But in this situation, the moat outside the other city walls has not been filled by peasant rebels, and they will not attack the other three city walls for the time being.So don't waste long-range firepower, and transfer them here for the time being.

After mastering the rules, the Runing Army began to harvest life.Each shot knocked down two dozen refugees.And because the musketeers are covered by shieldmen, the archers of the peasant rebel army are basically no threat.

Under the constant attack, the refugees who filled the moat became a little confused.Some refugees are a little shrunken.Gao Yingxiang, who was standing behind commanding, looked a little ugly, and he immediately said a few words to the soldiers around him.

The personal soldier immediately rode to the front of the veteran battalion supervisors to pass Gao Yingxiang's order, and those supervisors acted immediately, stepping up to those refugees who were cowering.Under the threat of death, those refugees resisted sandbags and continued to fill the river.
