Chapter 539 The First Battle of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty

"Boom boom boom..." Although the General's Mansion was one or two miles away from the city wall.q.e, the sound of heavy artillery bombardment was still clearly visible to everyone in the General's Mansion.

Facing the sudden artillery outside the city, Wang Feng subconsciously frowned. He spoke with a solemn expression and ordered: "Brothers, the Tartars have started attacking again... Everyone has heard the news about the Shanxi and Shaanxi Governor's Office. I hope that in the next battle, my family can tell me that you are not scared by the Tartars outside the city. In the face of the Tartars' attack, you can still repel them without hesitation..."

"I will order all brothers to return to their own positions... and use the muskets and cannons you equipped to give a fatal blow to the Tartars outside the city."

"Abide by the orders of the commander and general..." More than ten military officers at the regiment level and above, as if they had agreed, shouted loudly with a pair of hot eyes.

In order to avoid the devastating attacks of the heavy artillery regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the remaining fifty cannons in red.

More than fifty cannons, under the personal order of Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty, all spread out and fired rounds of flowering bullets at the city walls of Liaoyang City two miles away.

The city wall that lasted only five rounds of shelling and stretched for several miles was covered by the strong smoke from the explosion of the flowering bullet.

Of course, the heavy artillery regiment set up by the Tiger and Leopard Army in Liaoyang City was not indifferent.

Although I knew that my counterattack would not cause much damage to the heavy artillery scattered by the Tartars. Sometimes, it would take even forty or fifty flowering bullets to destroy a red-clothed cannon of the Tartars.

However, in order to reduce the damage to the city walls of the Tartar heavy artillery, the Tiger and Leopard Army heavy artillery regiment, which had more than 50 cannons, still shot out the city without hesitation, and then burst into flowering bullets.

The shells on both sides came back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of flowering bullets exploded on the enemy and our positions.

Maybe I know that the flowering bullets I shot out could not cause too much damage to the Liaoyang defenders, maybe it was because the number of flowering bullets I had to come from the Ming Dynasty was limited and could not withstand my continuous squandering.

After ten rounds of artillery bombardment, the Tartars' artillery fire stopped.

Then, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Han, holding muskets, big swords, etc., attacked Liaoyang City from all directions from all directions with shouts.

At this time, although the Tartars' artillery stopped, the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery units, which had enough flowering bullets to squander, were still pouring out the flowering bullets from afar.

Among them, the most arrogant artillery that caused the greatest damage to the eight banners of the Han Dynasty was not the cannon with the farthest range and the most powerful heavy artillery regiment, but the heavy and medium-sized mortars arranged in each division and regiment.

With the mortars far exceeding the "fire" speed of heavy artillery, the flowering bullets with a killing radius of more than two battles continued to fall in the middle of the attacking troops of the Han Eight Banners, causing bloody storms.

However, such a blow did not block the attack of these Han Eight Banners.

Because, behind these eight Han flags, more than 5,000 Later Jin cavalry, holding horse bows in their hands, patrolling back and forth. As long as they found signs of retreat, these Tartar cavalry would shoot arrows into their chests without hesitation and kill them on the battlefield.

Therefore, when they knew that they could never escape death after retreating, these soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han could only charge forward as always with hope for life.

In a blink of an eye, the eight banners of Han rushed through the artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army and rushed to a distance of 150 steps from the city wall, which was also the end of the effective shooting range of the Tiger and Leopard Army flintlock gun.

Amid the dense and violent explosion of the flowering bomb, the sound of gunfire like the sound of horse hooves quickly rang out on the battlefield like the sound of horses running.

The airtight lead bullet quickly formed a steel storm outside the city, rushing towards the Eight Banners soldiers of the Later Jinhan who were getting closer and closer to the city wall.

In front of the hot and high-speed lead bullets, the simple armor worn by the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners was like paper-paste, and was easily penetrated by the lead bullets.

Then, the hot lead bullets, with no speed reduction, pierced directly into the bodies of these soldiers. So, a bunch of blood flowers, like fountains, gushed out from the chests of these people.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han fell on the charge with muffled groans, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

Just as the death and pain brought to these people by the first round of lead bullets had not yet ended, the second round of lead bullets had already arrived and rushed from the front to block their attack.

However, such blows and deaths still failed to scare these soldiers of the Han Eight Banners.

In the eyes of these Han Eight Banners soldiers holding old-fashioned clamps, although the flintlock musket of the Tiger and Leopard Army is powerful. However, as long as you can reach fifty or sixty steps away from the city wall, the coercion gun in your hand can also cause a devastating "strike" blow to the Tiger and Leopard Army on the city wall.

Therefore, you must not retreat because of the blows and deaths in front of you.

So, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han seemed to have taken stimulants. Facing lead bullets and death, they continued to charge forward without fear of death, and then charge, without taking death seriously at all.

After tens of thousands of attacking troops, after paying more than a thousand losses in succession, they finally rushed to the effective shooting range of the coffer gun.

Facing the Tiger and Leopard Army that was so close, the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who breathed a sigh of relief quickly lit the fuse, raised the musket that had been loaded with lead bullets, aimed at the city wall, and fought back.

So, gunshots like exploding beans began to sound outside the city.

The continuous stream of lead bullets also flew towards the tiger and leopard army that were standing on the top of the city with gunshots.

"Ahhh..." A scream sounded, and some tiger and leopard troops who were exposed from battlements or the gap in the city walls were exposed for shooting due to excitement. Before they could react, they were shot to the ground by these whistling lead bullets and turned into corpses.

However, the arrogance of these Eight Banners of the Post-King Han did not last long.

Because the mortar group of Tiger and Leopard Army, which had gathered hundreds of mortars, had adjusted the gun position and aimed at them with the black hole muzzle.

With the command of the commander, dense flowering bullets fell around them like it was raining.

Not only that, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which were defending the city wall, also assigned almost half of the musketeers and began to suppress and shoot at these Han Eight Banners musketeers.

The flowering bullets above the head were unpredictable, and the lead bullets in front of the eyes were densely packed like fish... Under the attack of these two weapons, the Han Eight Banners musket array that had just gathered was quickly beaten into chaos.

In order to avoid becoming the target of the Tiger and Leopard Army, these Han Eight Banners Musketeers had to scatter and shoot very messy and sparse lead bombs at the top of the city.
