Chapter 586 Cannon Fighting with Bayonet
Across the river!
There is a river there, but it's just a ditch. Even this ditch was just dug by thieves. A knee-deep ditch may not be able to stop the army's attack, but it can slow down their speed. , the wooden stick deer village in front of the bandits' position also plays the same role.
Although those wooden sticks are only more than a foot high, and cannonballs can blow up a piece when they fall on them, there are still many left. Their function is to hinder and slow down the Ming army. As long as they slow down, It will become a cannon and a target for muskets.
For the soldiers whose attack was blocked, they were not discouraged. They did not even retreat after the attack was thwarted like other armies. They lay on the ground one after another, lying in craters and ditches, taking aim with their rifles. Follow the enemy and engage in firefights with the enemy behind the trench.
Hiding behind the tree stump of the bombed Luzhai, Zhu Cunlin shouted.
"Try to find cover as much as possible, lie down in the ditch, and shoot as many traitors as possible..."
At the same time, there was only one knife. He looked left and right from time to time. When he saw a rifle next to a fallen brother, he immediately crawled over, picked up the rifle and saw that there was a flash cap on it, and immediately took aim. Shooting, although it was not easy to reload while lying on the ground, the soldiers still shot each other as much as possible.
At a distance of more than a hundred meters, the Shunjun's smoothbore muskets would not pose much of a threat to them. In contrast, the Liao 13-type rifles in their hands were more deadly. The rifled rifles were equipped with sharp bottom recesses. Bullets make the Liao 13-style a deadly killer on the battlefield.
Zhu Cunlin, who was aiming his gun at the bandits, tried to breathe as calmly as possible. When he saw a bandit's head exposed, he pulled the trigger. Through the gun smoke from the muzzle, he saw the head explode violently, red. At the same time as the white things splashed, the thieves fell down.
Under the shooting of the officers and soldiers, the originally aggressive rebels all hid in the trenches and did not dare to come out again. However, the rebels did not give up resistance. Their muskets could not hit that far, but in the anti-gun shed The large and small Franco machine guns continued to shoot shotguns in this direction. Although the shotguns had no accuracy at such a long distance, they didn't need to aim at all when they hit a large area.
Zhang Xiaoding crawled out of the ditch. When he saw the capital prison, he crawled over and shouted loudly.
"Du Jian, Du Jian, we can't continue fighting like this..."
"What can you do?"
Zhu Cunlin, who was loading the gun, asked.
"Use cannon!"
Zhang Xiaoding said, pointing to the muzzle of the cannon in the cannon shed that was spitting out cannons from time to time.
"That thing has to be knocked off, otherwise we won't be able to rush over!"
For the attacking officers and soldiers, the biggest threat is the Franco machine guns in those fortifications. When they are fired, it is equivalent to hundreds of muskets firing at once, which is really deadly.
Knock them out, and the brothers will have to risk their lives to fill them.
"How to fight?"
"Use the cannon, push the cannon over and hit!"
Zhang Xiaoding shouted without hesitation.
"The thieves have cannons, and so do we. We can't just let them hit us."
There was a time when Gao Yigong didn't believe the words of the Tatars and traitors, but after suffering intense artillery fire from the government and the army, and seeing that the government and the army had retreated now, he was a little thankful that it was not because of hostility towards the Tatars. , without digging trenches or building anti-gun sheds.
"Fortunately, the cannons and other things are hidden in the gun shed, otherwise..."
While Gao Yigong was talking to himself, another burst of intensive artillery fire came. Compared with before, this time the artillery fire from the army was undoubtedly more violent. There were even gun shelters flying with the violent explosion.
As it went up to the sky, large pieces of gravel and wood were blown up into the sky, and then smashed down from the sky. There were also thousands of kilograms of soil and even weapons mixed in. There was a small Folang machine cannon.
It rolled in the air and then fell to the ground.
"Tell brothers to be careful, the army is coming again!"
Gao Yigong observed the enemy through the telescope and shouted to the messenger.
This time the Ming army's artillery fire was more intensive, and it was no longer concentrated on the front line as before. Even the tomb-like artillery sheds behind Changgou were bombarded.
"boom……"
Another artillery shell hit the front of the artillery shed where Gao Yigong was, shaking the dust from between the wooden beams on the roof of the shed like rain.
Feeling the fierce gunfire in front of him, Gao Yigong couldn't help but say.
"These bird officers and soldiers are fighting here and there. They clearly want to use explosive bombs to blow us to pieces!"
"No, fortunately there is an anti-gun shelter. If we had followed the past method of attack, our troops might have been wiped out by a hard bomb!"
"These bird officers and soldiers, relying on their powerful artillery fire, have the ability to rush up and fight us knife-to-knife, gun-to-gun..."
"Bah...bah...these damn officers and soldiers..."
After patting the dust that fell on his body, Gao Yigong once again lay down in front of the window of the artillery shed, picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance. Through the billowing smoke, he saw the officers and soldiers taking action again.
"What do these officers and soldiers want to do? Why did they push the cannon to the front..."
Through the telescope, he saw a group of Ming soldiers struggling to push the cannon out of Luzhai. Gao Yigong said to himself in confusion.
He really couldn't figure out what these Ming troops were up to. Just when he was wondering, he saw the army's cannon firing more than a hundred feet away, and then he saw a tower in the long trench in front of him.
The tomb-like artillery shed was suddenly blown up into the air. The scene in front of him made him scream in shock.
"Quickly, take out the Ming army's artillery!"
When the artillery was pushed to the front line, and even risked exploding the barrel to fire the mortar's tail grenade, the officers and soldiers in front of the position were approaching the enemy's front line. They took advantage of the artillery bombardment to cross the full line.
It is a ditch of corpses and blood.
"Hurry up, bring over the tinderbox..."
The soldiers lying beside the ditch did not attack immediately this time. Instead, they kept throwing gunpowder packets between the deer villages and used explosions to blow up the deer villages that blocked their steps. In fact, this time the artillery bombardment was also concentrated in this area.
, after all, this is the last obstacle to stop their attack.
Standing in the artillery shed, Zhang Fucai looked at the Luzhai that was constantly being blown up. He knew that this would be a brutal and fierce battle. He even had a vague hunch in his heart that this battle would probably also be
It's his final battle.
Are you destined to die here today?
