0915 The Last Line of Defense
The fire guns used by the Marines were much larger and heavier than the Ming army's bird guns in terms of caliber and size. So a row of fire guns shot down a single person directly!
These Eight Banners soldiers were indeed brave. They fell to the ground after death. They were still rushing forward with injuries! In their impression, the muskets were no longer used after being fired. But they didn't expect that their opponents were prepared, and then they shot a second row of muskets, directly knocking the rushing Later Jin Tartars to the ground!
At the same time, other street intersections also heard dense sounds of muskets, knocking the Later Jin Tartars who rushed to the front to grab the merits to the ground! For a moment, the Later Jin Tartars were seriously injured! It can be said that the Later Jin Tartars who were killed and injured all night were not killed or injured at this moment!
In a blink of an eye, the aggressive Later Jin Tartars were defeated! The Ming soldiers who were determined to fight to the death were ready to face the impact, but they did not expect that the Later Jin Tartars would be defeated in an instant!
After a moment of stunned silence, the Ming soldiers cheered one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted! Even Huang Long laughed and shouted to the Marines on the roof, "Good fight! Good fight!"
The Marines were naturally proud, but they were immediately scolded by the officers, who asked them to continue to be cautious. So the Marines laughed and loaded ammunition.
After about a moment of quiet on the battlefield, the Later Jin army launched another attempted attack, but the Later Jin Tartars did not dare to take credit and pushed the Han army flag into the front. But even so, the situation did not change, and the Han army flag's attack was still repelled by several rows of muskets! The only difference is that the Han army flag retreated faster!
At this time, Gu Shane, who was in charge of command behind, was almost mad! This was the first time he encountered such a situation today! He had not even approached the Ming army's front and was defeated by the storm-like lead bullets. This was a shame for the Eight Banners soldiers!
However, this Gushan Ezhen was also a veteran war. He did not hurriedly push the soldiers up to die, but calmed down and thought about countermeasures.
Soon he had other ideas. On the one hand, he wanted the soldiers attacking the ground to prepare armor as much as possible. The car did not have any doors.
There are always a few boards to prepare. This can also effectively defend against lead bullets. Moreover, he knew that the people who used the musket were standing on the roof, so he ordered another group of archers to climb up to the house not far away and shoot the other party with bows and arrows on the roof. He believed that the muskets on the opposite side would soon be defeated under the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners soldiers!
After some organization, the soldiers of the Han army flag dismantled a large number of door panels in the houses, and then nailed them together and showed up at the end of the road. At the same time, many archers began to climb towards the roofs of nearby houses, hoping to occupy the commanding heights.
The musketeers ignored the slowly advancing Han army flag, while the Later Jin soldiers who climbed onto the roof were hit by a fatal blow!
You should know that the roof is spread out in a flat area without any cover. The soldiers of the Later Jin army were in a state of no place to leverage their strength the moment they climbed onto the roof, but most of their bodies were exposed outside. This was simply the best target! The Marines calmly shot them one by one!
So the Eight Banners soldiers had no ability to climb up the roof, leaving dozens of bloody corpses to retreat.
However, these Eight Banners soldiers did not notify the Han army flag to retreat, but ordered the Han army flag to continue charging forward. The Han army flag soldiers rushed over with a large number of door panels and slowly rushed over like turtle shells.
Although these door panels look extremely ugly, they are really easy to use! You must know that the wood used for door panels is extremely thick! Lead bullets are often embedded on them when they are punched. Even if the door panels are penetrated, the lead bullets are not lethal. With these door panels, the Han military flag really rushes to the front of the barricade.
The Ming soldiers in the barricade all held their spears flat and held them tightly against the door panel to prevent them from moving forward. A few soldiers stabbed their spears into the gaps in the door panel, stabbing many Han flag soldiers to death!
The Han army flag soldiers were in trouble! The door panel was too huge and heavy, and they could not even fight with the door panel. They could only endure the spear's piercing in vain, so they could only retreat in a mess after holding it for a while.
Seeing that the attack of the Later Jin army was repelled, the Ming soldiers cheered one after another! But Huang Long knew about the Later Jin army.
The next attack will definitely be extremely violent! Huang Long guessed this correctly. This time the battlefield was quiet for a long time, which lasted half an hour. This shows that the Later Jin army made sufficient preparations for this attack.
When the Later Jin army attacked, the Ming soldiers actually heard the sound of the wheels. Huang Long stretched his head and knew that something was wrong! Because the Later Jin army collected the Ming army's arsenal and pushed the knife and carts specially used for street fighting in the arsenal!
The knife trolley is a two-wheeled cart, with a thick wooden board in front, with sharp knives or short spears inserted on it. The bow and arrow cannot be damaged, and the lead bullet cannot penetrate, so it is very difficult to deal with it!
The most difficult thing to deal with were the archers of the Later Jin army. For this attack, the Later Jin army organized a large number of wooden ladders and wooden racks, leaning against the house not far from the Marines' house. They only exposed a small part of their bodies to shoot arrows at the Marines!
Although the archers of the Later Jin army were killed and injured many people at the beginning of the shooting, the Later Jin army gradually suppressed the Marines' muskets with the speed of fire of the bows and arrows! So at the beginning, the dense sound of muskets gradually became sparse. It was a bit impossible to suppress the archers of the Later Jin army!
Later, the Jin army's bows were unyielding and initially suppressed the opponent's muskets. Other archers took this opportunity to climb up the roof and increase the shooting force. Although the Marines repaired the chest wall on the roof, they were also suppressed behind the chest wall for a while and could not move!
A Marine was so angry that she quickly got up, picked up the musket and was about to shoot! But before he could aim at the enemy, he was shot by a wide-headed heavy arrow in his face! The man fell backward and died! Similar situations occurred many times.
The same is true for the Marines on other houses. Each chest wall is closely watched by the Later Jin army, and a slight appearance will attract the shooting of bows and arrows. After a group of people were killed and injured, the Marines had to be suppressed behind the chest wall.
