Chapter 309 The Undead Traitor

The military advisor directly showed a slightly restless expression on his face, and comforted Wu Jingtian: "Master, we can't do it if we rebuild the wall with bricks... However, we can use sacks filled with sand and soil to pile up short walls on the city wall."

"Students are sure that the flowering bullets shot at us by the Tiger and Leopard Army will not cause a devastating blow even if they can damage these low walls piled up with sandbags..."

The military advisor said it right, that is, the mortar shells produced by yellow gunpowder in later generations did not cause much damage to the positions accumulated with sandbags, not to mention the black gunpowder that was several times less powerful...

Therefore, in front of such low walls piled up with sandbags, unless the flowering bullet hits the sandbag directly, they will not be able to do anything to these low walls or destroy these low walls...

Wu Jingtian, who had no other way, had to agree: "Okay, just do it like this... Military advisor, from now on, all the remaining brothers in the city will be handed over to you... You must complete the partition of the low wall you mentioned before the Tiger and Leopard Army launches an attack."

"Otherwise, we can bear the flowering bullets shot at us by the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

Tens of thousands of rebels, one person carried two sandbags on the city wall, which was 20,000...

With the help of these sandbags, the city walls that were unobstructed were immediately divided into small squares with only a single battle in width.

Thousands of rebel musketeers who defended the city walls were scattered in these small squares, ready to defend against the enemy...

As for the Tiger and Leopard Army two miles outside the city, I was not sure about the changes on the city wall.

At this moment, they were preparing for the first round of attack under Zhou Yuhong's order...

Ten consecutive rounds of artillery attacks. Although Zhou Yuhong failed to witness the specific results of these flowering bullets, the corpses of the treacherous walls who were constantly thrown off by the air waves caused by the explosion of the flowering bullets have told Zhou Yuhong from another aspect that the treacherous walls on the walls will definitely suffer heavy losses under the attack of the flowering bullets.

In this case, Zhou Yuhong had reason to believe that under the cover of his heavy mortar battalion, the traitors defending the city wall would definitely be bombed and fled. The soldiers in charge of the attack would also easily approach the city wall under the cover of these flowering bullets and blew up the city wall with explosives...

Therefore, as the follow-up troops arrived on the battlefield continuously, Zhou Yuhong, the direct commander of this tough battle, was ready to launch the first round of attack on Baode County.

It was almost noon after another half an hour, so in order to give the rebels in the city a warning, Zhou Yuhong did not let this time go.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered to his subordinates.

"Architecture Battalion, continue to fire flowering bullets at the city walls.... Without the general's order, don't stop... One regiment and one battalion are ready for attack... Two and three battalions of the first regiment and two guard battalions are combined. Use three-stage shooting to provide fire cover to the offensive troops..."

"Start the attack..."

"Boom boom boom..." In less than ten seconds, Zhou Yuhong's general order was issued, and a series of dull roars sounded. The artillery positions with more than twenty mortars lined up in front of him rang out.

Twenty-seven flowering bullets emitting white smoke quickly flew out of the cannon chamber under the push of clusters of orange-red flames.

Then, with a whistling sound, very beautiful white arcs were drawn in the air, and they steadily smashed towards the city wall.

Under Zhou Yuhong's gaze, balls of orange-red fireballs quickly appeared in their sight. Some rose into the sky on the city walls, and some rose into the sky inside and outside the city walls.

Of course, with the help of monocular telescope, Zhou Yuhong immediately turned his attention to the six fireballs that soared into the air on the city wall. With the help of the telescope, despite the obstacles of battlements, Zhou Yuhong still clearly saw that at least seven rebels were thrown high by the fireballs that soared into the air at the moment...

Seeing this, Zhou Yuhong's first idea was that under the attack of six flowering bullets, the rebels must have suffered heavy losses on the city wall without any hidden objects.

However, another scene appeared on the city wall that had been divided into squares by sandbags...

Six whistling flowering bullets directly hit the six squares. The thirty traitors located in the square, without exception, all fell into pools of blood, either dead or injured...

As for the most lethal shell fragments of the flowering bullets, they were all pierced into the surrounding partitions made of sandbags. The rebel coach Wu Jingtian was most worried about whether the sandbag partition would be destroyed by the flowering bullets, and there was no more. Because after the flowering bullet exploded, the sandbag partition still stood there without any change.

Therefore, the first round of shells fired by the Tiger and Leopard Army only caused thirty losses to the rebels.

Just as the explosion of the flowering bullet ended, dozens of rebels holding muskets rushed up to the city wall and rushed towards the six spaces that had just exploded, ensuring that there would be no defensive gaps in the city wall that lasted more than a hundred battles.

Of course, Zhou Yuhong, the direct commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army, was not clear about all of this.

Under Zhou Yuhong's order, twenty-seven heavy mortars shot ten rounds of flowering bullets into the city wall. More than 400 muskets that were already ready were handed...

More than 400 musketeers, in addition to one musket and three grenades, there were about one hundred musketeers carrying a heavy 10-pound explosive pack on their backs...

More than 400 musketeers lined up the scattered soldiers and slowly drove out the military formation, just like a series of fiery red waves, quickly towards the explosion, and the walls of Baode County, which were completely covered by gunpowder smoke.

Not only that, more than a thousand musketeers who had already been arranged quickly picked up the muskets. They followed the attacking troops and advanced step by step towards the city wall. After preparing to reach a 150-step position outside the city wall, they would provide fire cover to the attacking troops.

Time passed by little by little, and the distance between the attacking troops from the wall of Baode County was quickly shortened from two miles to two hundred steps.

At this time, under the attack of flowering bullets, the traitors who were constantly suffering losses also began to move.

In the square that was not attacked by the flowering bullets, dense gangs rushed to the edge of the city wall. They picked up muskets with lead bullets and gunpowder, lit the fuse, and prepared for shooting.

The artillery, which had the same actions as the musketeers, had closely connected the sub-cannons filled with lead bullets with the Flang aircraft. Then, aimed at the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and prepared to shoot...

"Architecture, fire the artillery..." After a loud roar rang on the city wall, more than ten Flang aircraft with the farthest range quickly ejected balls of orange-red flames outside the city.

Wrapped by these flames, lead bullets gushing out of the muzzle quickly formed a fan-shaped attack surface at the muzzle. Then, with a whistling sound, it covered the tiger and leopard army that was rushing towards it.

A Folang machine shot more than one hundred lead bullets forward, and more than ten Folang machines were more than one thousand lead bullets…

In the blink of an eye, dense lead bullets formed a dense net of bullets directly in front of the attacking troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

The bullets roared and the dozens of tiger and leopard soldiers rushed in the front, as if they were hit by an unstoppable iron wall. They fell to the ground with a bang and were beaten into a hornet's nest by a lead bullet...

The sudden attack, the death of dozens of soldiers, directly scared the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army behind him.

However, after a long period of training, they did not collapse because of this.

Amid the roar of the officers in the army, they continued to disperse the formation that was not very dense. Not only that, their charge speed also became faster and faster...

However, no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as the flight speed of lead bombs...

Hundreds of soldiers had just rushed forward less than twenty steps, and a new round of cannon sound had arrived and reached their ears.

Then, the dense lead bullets that whistled towards them had already shot into their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty more Tiger and Leopard soldiers fell heavily on the charge road with unwilling expressions on their faces.

There were still 180 steps to support the city wall and the more than 400 soldiers who directly attacked the city wall had lost one quarter of their troops. Could it be that the artillery fired bullets on the city wall did not kill the rebels? This was not only the soldiers who did not expect that Zhou Yuhong, who was standing behind to supervise the battle, did not expect that.

However, a number of lucky thoughts also emerged in the minds of Zhou Yuhong and all the soldiers participating in the war.

"As long as more than a thousand musketeers who are responsible for providing fire cover rushed to 150 steps and began to attack the traitors on the city wall with lead bullets, their own losses will be greatly reduced. At that time, victory will still belong to them."

Therefore, facing the soldiers who kept falling on the battlefield, Zhou Yuhong, who was struggling with a hint of luck, did not issue a retreat order. This led to the first defeat of the Tiger and Leopard Army in attacking Baode County, and it was a crushing defeat...

After paying another loss of 100 people, more than a thousand musketeers finally rushed to the 150-step position.

Then, a burst of gunfire like a bean-burning gun began to sound outside the city...

More than 400 lead bullets flew towards the city wall with a whistling sound.

Under this round of lead bomb attack, dozens of thief gunners caught off guard, before they could make any preparations, they fell on the city wall with screams.

Of course, the remaining gunners also discovered that the one who threatened him the most outside the city had become the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers who were 150 steps away.

So, the thief gunner who had just added it quickly turned the gun and aimed at the tiger and leopard army 150 steps away.

The sound of cannons rang out, and dense lead bullets flew quickly to the musketeer one hundred and fifty steps away.

Because these musketeers were standing in dense three-stage musket arrays, the whistling lead bullets actually caused them hundreds of losses at once.

However, the offensive troops with less than 300 people were not so lucky...

As soon as he avoided the artillery fire attack, he welcomed the dense lead bombs shot out by the rebels in the city wall.

Although the power of the old musket is not great, it has strong lethality at an eighty step distance. (To be continued)
