1493 Successive failures

However, seeing this situation, the Western Army was relieved! Although there were many casualties and injuries, the attack channel was indeed opened. It was a phased victory!

But Liu Haikuan knew that it was not suitable to continue fighting today because his morale had fallen to the extreme! After all, it was too bad to force his own people to die, and everyone was afraid that it would be their turn!

Moreover, when everyone saw that their companions were forced to death, they would definitely empathize with each other, and their morale would naturally not be much higher! So Liu Haikuan decided to temporarily quit today, so that the soldiers would have a good rest, and start to attack the hill on the right continuously from tomorrow, and no longer rest.

Early the next morning, Liu Haikuan sent 10,000 people to fight. Liu Haikuan learned that waves were a tactic without a teacher. He divided the 10,000 people into five consecutive attack teams.

This wave-like tactic is the easiest to put huge psychological pressure on the opponent, making the opponent feel like he is facing the boundless waves, and he will never see the end, which will eventually lead to collapse!

But he didn't know that this move might work in the era of cold weapons, but when he faced the entire firearm troops, especially when the terrain was unfavorable, the chargers were just targets to be slaughtered!

As the drum sounded, the first batch of soldiers of the Western Army began to charge forward. This time, Liu Haikuan adjusted the way of using the wooden shield for them, turning it into a heavy wooden shield for every four people! In this way, the soldiers would be much faster, and one person was injured or died, and the remaining three people could also maintain the cover of the wooden shield!

Moreover, Liu Haikuan didn't expect the first wave of shock to achieve success. He only hoped that the first batch of soldiers could be brought to the chicken legs, the closer they were to the opponent's village wall. This would cover the charge of the next batch of soldiers!

But what made him feel depressed was that the cannons on the opposite hill were still not firing! This was not good news for him! This showed that the defenders on the hill believed that they had enough strength to repel the attack.

As the soldiers of the Western Army climbed the hillside, the soldiers behind the first row of wooden fences on the mountain moved and began to roar guns and shoot. And it was still slow and rhythmic shooting, as if I had killed so much

The enemy doesn't care.

This led to not many casualties in the Western Army. Only a few people were shot in the head and died, and most of the lead bullets were still blocked by wooden shields. However, as the distance approached, the fire of the muskets became more and more accurate and the density became greater and greater!

The lead bullets shocked the soldiers of the Western Army, but they still insisted on charging forward! Just as they were barely approaching 50 steps, all the soldiers of the Western Army felt that victory was in sight!

Suddenly they saw dozens of logs thrown out of the wooden fence! The commander of the Western Army immediately shouted loudly: "Fallen Shield! Hold on!"

The soldiers of the Western Army smashed all the shields directly to the ground and began to hold them back with their bodies, waiting for the logs to hit! The logs jumped and rolled over from the hillside, hitting heavily on the wooden shield!

Some logs with small power were directly blocked by the wooden shield, while others rolled into the back line with the tilted shield and smashed a lot of people! But no matter what, the shield wall was not broken, which gave them room for attack.

Just when the commander of the Western Army was still secretly thrilling to hold back the logs, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly on the other side: "Fire the cannon!"

He looked up in a hurry and saw some gaps suddenly appearing on the wooden fences! Inside these gaps, the black gun barrels directly stretched out! This time, the commander of the Western Army was so heartbroken!

Now he knew that the logs were not to smash the shield wall, but to let them stay where they are honest!

The muzzle on the top of the mountain drooped slightly, aiming at the shield wall. A red light was sprayed out in turn in the horrified eyes of the soldiers of the Western Army! Then a row of iron balls erupted and directly hit the shield wall!

The thick wooden shield may be able to block the invasion of lead shells, but it is powerless to use solid shells fired from close range! Although the caliber of the infantry cannon is relatively small, it is still easy to knock down or break a wooden shield!

I saw the wooden shields hit by artillery shells splattering, shooting a large number of soldiers from the Western Army to the ground, lying there covered in blood and screaming! How could the musket soldiers miss this opportunity? The dense lead bullets were row by row.

After shooting in, shoot the exposed soldiers of the Western Army in rows!

However, the Daxi Army, who was unwilling to fail, raised its shield again and formed a shield wall to continue moving forward, but then the second round of artillery made a gap again! Under the rotation of artillery and lead shells, the Daxi Army soldiers fell to the ground in rows!

After only two rounds of artillery bombardment, their morale collapsed! The soldiers dropped their weapons and retreated. However, the soldiers hiding behind the eyes did not dare to leave their positions! Because the death order they received was that as long as the wooden shield was not broken, they were not allowed to retreat!

So they could only tighten their bodies and pray that the cannon would not hit the shield in front of them! While looking at their escaped companions with envy!

At this time, the second batch of Daxi Army soldiers had rushed to a place very close to the shield wall. With the help of a group of soldiers, they rushed over without any injuries! Then they crossed the wooden shield defense line and continued forward!

In their impression, the official army should have fired shotguns at this time! They were even ready! But the opponent's artillery still shot solid shells slowly, and they were still aiming at those wooden shields! Only those unlucky people stood between the cannons and wooden shields, and then they hit the cannons!

They actually didn't know at all that Qi Qitao brought sufficient infantry artillery and ammunition this time! This modified infantry artillery is light and durable, capable of shooting both socks and solid artillery shells, and is a weapon for close-range defense! Now only part of it has been revealed!

Although the cannon fires relatively slowly, the firing rate of the gun is getting faster and faster! The lead bullets like storms almost defeated the second batch of Daxi Army soldiers within four rounds! Forcing them to leave the dead bodies all over the ground and run back!

This surprised the soldiers who were preparing to take the opportunity to move the wooden shield forward! Because before they could take three steps, the people in front retreated! Not only did they not rush to the enemy formation, but they knocked down many wooden shields that were not shot when they retreated!
