Chapter 1001: Battle of Qian'an in Jizijuan (3)

  Chapter 1001 The Battle of Qian'an in the Zizi Scroll (3)

   Just when Suoketo realized the seriousness of the problem, Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu and Zaisai who stood behind were even more aware of the danger.

Almost a hundred feet away, the Zhou army’s firecrackers started the first round of shooting. Although it seemed that the effect was not very good, dozens of people were still hit and fell to the ground in this round, and the key It's because they all hold leather shields!

  When did the Dazhou fire gun become so sharp?

  Look at the three-eyed firecrackers held by my subordinates. It is cumbersome to operate, troublesome to ignite, and difficult to aim.

   These firecrackers were obtained by the Chahar people from Da Zhou, and then donated to themselves. Now it seems that these things are all garbage eliminated by Da Zhou, and they are used to fool the Mongols.

The firecrackers used by the new army of Yongping in the Great Zhou Dynasty are not only extremely fast and easy to operate, but also can penetrate leather shields and kill soldiers from hundreds of meters away. This is almost three times or even four times the power of the three-eyed firecrackers. See The opponent fired round after round with almost no delay.

Especially when entering the range of seventy or eighty feet, the power of the big Zhou army's firecrackers is even more prominent. In each round of shooting, more than a hundred people will fall to the ground amidst howls and screams, but within seventy to eighty feet, it is still necessary to It took a while to rush to the edge of the low wall, and during this period of time, the Great Zhou army could at least last a round.

Every round of shooting will make the charging soldiers stagnate. Some soldiers have already started to fall to the ground subconsciously when they heard the gunshots, and then when they realized that they were fine, they got up again. They kept scolding and whipping, but the closer the soldiers got to the city wall, the slower their movements became. This undoubtedly delayed a lot of time and won the second round of shooting time for the Zhou army.

"boom!"

  Smoke rose, choking the eyes and nose, but at this time the firecrackers on the low wall had already entered a state of excitement.

Watching thousands of Mongolian soldiers advance steadily from a distance of more than 100 feet, and being beaten dizzy by two consecutive rounds of shooting at a distance of 100 feet, the taste of massacre is a kind of feeling for any ordinary soldier. Unprecedented experience.

The Mongolian soldiers obviously didn't realize that they would be attacked by firecrackers at this distance. The projectiles easily pierced through the leather shields and their crude leather armor, crashed into their bodies, tore their flesh and blood, and completely lost their combat effectiveness. , could only cry and roll to the ground, howling.

  The sense of the impact of living flesh and blood made the Mongols tearing apart, and at the same time greatly stimulated the nerves of the Zhou army, allowing them to quickly enter a more efficient and rapid shooting progress.

  The closer the enemy is, the more they can feel the most intuitive visual effect of inflicting pain, struggle and death on the enemy after they shoot this round.

Within 30 feet, their approaching shots can even clearly see every subtle expression on the enemy's face after being shot, despair, wailing, distortion, hideousness, and sadness, just like the interpretation of a world drama, let everyone The new soldiers who faced it all got a rare baptism in this environment.

Suoketuo jumped up, within three feet, he could easily cross over, and with the help of the approaching ladder, he jumped up the low wall. He wanted to use the ring knife in his hand to cut the gang's city wall alive and give it to his brothers. They have caused endless damage to the big Zhou soldiers, and he is confident that he can kill twenty of them in one go without taking a breath.

At the moment when he jumped high, he even saw those panic-stricken Da Zhou soldiers looking at him blankly behind the low wall a foot away. Han blood!

The five spring-wheel self-igniting guns had already locked on the warrior who was a line faster than ordinary Mongolian soldiers. Looking at this guy's flexible and vigorous body shape, it was a circle larger than ordinary leather shields, and the shield was constantly rising and falling. Just by jumping, Hou Chengzu knew that this guy must be one of the big fish.

The sailors under him were already impatient, but they were ordered to act as a reserve team. This was the first round of attack, and it was far from the time when they were effective, but Hou Chengzu still brought a team of the most elite The sailors came to the city to experience the feeling of war.

   Wu's firecrackers had already locked on to the flying titan, and they fired the firecrackers at the same time in an incomparable tacit understanding.

  Sockto only felt that his body in a state of incomparable relaxation seemed to shake slightly, like a sheepskin raft full of gas was suddenly punctured by something, and the whole sky became a little trance.

He didn't realize what happened, but he just felt something strange. When the soles of his feet were on the crenellation of the city wall, he couldn't help but want to roar with excitement, but his feet softened, and the sound of wanting to roar But it became a little leaky?

  A strong fishy smell gushed out of his nose and mouth. He realized something and wanted to swing the knife, but his huge body could not be supported by his feet, and he fell from the crenel.

Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu's body shook violently. He saw Suoketo's vigorous figure trembling in the air, and then he stepped on the wall. Amidst the cheers of countless people, he fell slumped. Although he couldn't see What happened to Suoketo, but Zhuoli Ketuhun Batulu knew that there was no doubt that the opponent had suffered a fatal blow at the moment of leaping up, and it could only come from the firecracker.

  Draektuhun Baturu, who was involved in this matter, hated his own weakness and hesitation.

  After the thousand cavalry of Balihan passed under the opponent's city wall, the two sides shot at each other and caused the cavalry of Balihan to suffer heavy losses, but it also cost the opponent blood.

If the follow-up cavalry is allowed to attack the infantry like this, it will take a large casualty, but it will definitely cause fatal damage to the opponent's firecracker formation. At that time, Suoketo and the others may be able to rely on that. The wave charge has completely eliminated the enemies on the low wall.

   But now, Suoketo's attack has suffered a serious setback. The soldiers who fled back were shot and killed by the enemy's firearms again, and none of them escaped.

  And I should have continued to order the second round of attacks when the first round was launched, and even continued to follow up with the third round of attacks, without giving the opponent any gaps, and using my absolute superiority in military strength to completely annihilate the opponent.

   It’s just ridiculous that I still told Zai Sai that this battle is not easy to fight before the battle, but deep down in my heart I still have a natural sense of contempt for the Yongping new army.

   A bunch of mud legs have only gone through three months of training, can they still become fighters? Maybe after a wave of attacks, the opponent will completely collapse and end in a battle?

  The cruel reality taught Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu a vivid lesson, making him realize that even though he had raised the level of the Yongping new army before, he still greatly underestimated it.

  Zai Sai also noticed this.

  This kind of conventional round after round of charges seems to be ineffective against this kind of firecracker defense line that can shoot indefinitely, and the enemy hardly gives their own siege soldiers any chance for close combat.

  From hundreds of feet away, they began to suffer continuous shooting and massacres. Before the soldiers on their own side really approached the opponent, the morale and front line had collapsed, and it was impossible to continue the follow-up attack.

   To launch another round of attack, it is necessary to cross the land of death hundreds of meters ahead, and it is necessary to pay a new round of sacrifices.

"Uncle, this won't work." Zaisai said in a deep voice, "We need to concentrate more troops to attack continuously without gaps or pauses. Their firecrackers are at their maximum power, we must take down the low wall in one go, and then directly build a ladder from the low wall to attack the city!"

  Draik Tuhun Batulu also admitted that what Jay Sai said was true, but this means that the early effort will be extremely heavy.

Seeing his uncle's hesitant expression, Zai Sai knew that no matter how worried and heartbroken his uncle was about the loss of their Uziyet Division, this was the first wave. The loss was only a few hundred people, and he already had such an attitude. Can it continue?

  Zai Sai shook his head, now, can he turn back? I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

"Uncle, I think so. Let's bring up our many Frang machine guns and concentrate them on the front of the northern city wall for bombardment. We have too few guns, so we can only use them intensively. Even if all of them are destroyed by bombing, we must persist." Keep fighting, and our cavalry will still continue to attack like Balihan did before, otherwise we will not be able to suppress the Zhou army's attack on our siege army..."

  Draek Tuhun Baturu sighed and nodded.

"Uncle, there is another round from Uziyet's troops. I hope you can invest more than two thousand men, followed by my two thousand cavalry, and then I will invest another four thousand men to follow your two thousand men. If If your people are exhausted, our Hongji assassination department will suppress them all, we can’t drag on like this, once we drag on, we will only pay a higher price, even the price is worthless!”

  Zolik Tuhun Batulu was shocked. Looking at Zai Sai, he didn't expect Zai Sai to be so determined that he would put all his bets on the second wave of attacks. Is this appropriate?

   "Jai Sai, in case..."

"Uncle, there is no chance. Our attack today can last at most two or three rounds. If we fail to break through in two or three rounds, I am afraid our morale may drop to the point where we cannot continue. The Horqin people and the Bahrain department Over there, I have sent people to notify them to suspend their attack, but to maintain the pressure so that the enemy troops in the east city cannot gather, today's battle will be decided in the north city,..."
