"Ricochet, it's a ricochet!" A soldier laughed when he saw this, "Hahaha, it hit!"
Xu Yingwei also clenched his fists vigorously, and then shouted: "Students, please clean the barrels of the cannons, reload the gunpowder and projectiles, and give Jiannu a few more shots! Kill them!"
"Kill them to death!" All the scholars promised in a loud voice.
Immediately began to clean the barrel and reload ammunition.
After a while, there were two more booms, and the ground shook.
However, I failed to calculate the margin this time and hit a little too far.
"Adjust the firing angle and reload!" Xu Yingwei ordered in an orderly manner.
More than a dozen scholars were drilling the cannon in an orderly manner, but unfortunately, when Xu Yingwei and the others were ready again, Jiannu had already reached the foot of Yunlong Mountain and was out of the range of the Hongyi cannon.
Because it is shooting down from a high position on the top of a mountain, there is a minimum range of shooting.
If it is set up on flat ground, even if Jiannu rushes in front of him, he can shoot, and the shot will be more accurate, and he can easily hit without having to calculate the trajectory.
"Prepare for close combat!" Xu Yingwei and other soldiers fired their muskets one after another.
Then they all entered the No. 1 cannon platform at the front of the ninth peak.
The view from Gun Platform No. 1 is the best, and you can clearly see the foot of the mountain.
But at one glance, Xu Yingwei's heart immediately sank, because in just a moment, the first gun platform at the foot of the mountain had been lost! Isn't this too fast?
These gun towers were built by themselves.
Due to the terrain, it is not as regular as the plain gun platform, but the various defense facilities have been strengthened. The walls of the gun platform are made of stones and reinforced with wood!
Not even the Fran cannon can penetrate it with one shot.
At that time, they all tested it with the No. 1 Franco machine gun.
But such a well-built and solid gun platform was captured by Jiannu in less than two quarters of an hour. Is it that Jin Shenghuan's border troops are too cowardly, or is it that Jiannu is too fierce?
At this moment, Jiannu had already launched an attack on the second gun platform.
Then, Xu Yingwei and the others finally witnessed with their own eyes the ferocity of Jiannu.
Because the second gun platform was built on the mountainside, Jiannu could not push the cart up the mountain.
On the contrary, the Ming army at the second gun platform not only had bird guns and tiger squatting cannons, but also traditional defensive weapons such as rolling logs and rocks to use, and there were thousands of enemies!
It is much easier to drop thousands of enemies on a hillside than on flat ground.
However, even so, the Ming army still could not stop Jian Nu even for a moment.
Nearly a hundred Ming army musketeers on the gun platform fired rows of lead bullets onto Jiannu's body. The two squatting tiger cannons also fired continuously, pouring hundreds of lead bullets down.
However, it was of no use. A blow of this magnitude would at most stagger Jiannu who was climbing the mountain, then he would get up and continue climbing up the mountain.
The Ming army pushed the rolling wood and rocks down again.
Rolling logs over two feet long and rocks weighing over a hundred kilograms rolled down the hillside with a roar. The momentum looked very scary. If they were hit, they would definitely be dead or injured.
Xu Yingwei and other scholars thought to themselves, can it finally work now?
However, those slaves could always predict in advance and use the mountains and obstacles to cleverly avoid them. When they couldn't avoid it, these slaves showed incredible skills. They could always escape.
With four ounces of heavy lifting, he used the caltrop bones in his hands to change the direction of rolling logs and rocks.
Although this move is not as good as picking a pulley in the storybook, it is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Are these slaves all capable of carrying a heavy cauldron?
Seeing this scene, not only Xu Yingwei and the other twelve soldiers felt heavy-hearted, but Jin Shenghuan and the frontier soldiers under his command also lost even their last trace of courage.
From this moment on, these border troops may flee at any time.
Looking down the mountain again, after suffering more than a dozen casualties, Jiannu finally climbed outside the protective wall of the second gun platform.
Half of the Jiannu were left to suppress the Ming army dozens of steps away, while the other half threw out their flying claws and started climbing. A small number of Jiannu directly bypassed the cannon platform and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.
The Ming army on the gun platform was still resisting at this time.
Musketeers kept leaning out and trying to shoot.
There were also Ming soldiers waving their swords and trying to cut off the flying ropes.
There were also Ming troops carrying tens of thousands of enemies and trying to throw them down from the protective wall.
But there was no chance, because there were slave archers watching.
Every time a Jiannu archer fired an arrow, a Ming soldier was bound to be shot, either through the throat or through the face. The arrows all hit the vital point, and there was no miss!
"Hiss!" Xu Yingwei took a breath of cold air.
The other scholars also inhaled in unison.
"White-armored soldier!" Jin Shenghuan said solemnly, "It must be a white-armored soldier!"
"White-armored soldiers?" Xu Yingwei said in a deep voice, "Are Jiannu's white-armored soldiers very powerful?"
Jin Shenghuan said: "When the male slaves become adults and pass the examination, they will be promoted to Bujia. The fifth level of Bujia will be beheaded to advance to the vest, and the 20th level will be beheaded to be promoted to the red armor. Only ten red armors can choose a white armor. What do you think?
Isn’t it awesome?”
"So big?" Xu Yingwei exclaimed, but the next sentence almost made Jin Shenghuan fall over.
Xu Yingwei said: "Jiannu's white-armored soldiers are so strong. If we kill them, wouldn't Jiannu suffer a big loss?"
"Just you? Just you scholars?" Jin Shenghuan couldn't help it and sneered, "Don't dream, you won't even get close to the white-armored soldiers of the Jiannu slaves, you will be shot to death on the spot like rabbits.
!”
While he was talking, the white-armored Jiannu soldiers on the mountainside had already climbed up the gun platform along the flying rope.
Although the Ming army on the gun platform tried their best to block the attack, they still could not resist the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu.
As more and more white-armored Jiannu soldiers climbed over the protective wall and entered the gun platform, the Ming army's psychological defense finally collapsed.
In the melee, I don't know which Ming army roared first. In the next moment, hundreds of Ming soldiers turned around and ran away, only hating their parents for losing two legs.
By the way, the cannon tower built by Prince Qin on the mountainside of Yunlong Mountain has greater regulations and a larger number of defenders.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, in the face of the fierce attack of the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu, the gun tower on the mountainside did not persist for even a moment longer than the gun tower at the foot of the mountain, and basically collapsed at the first touch.
…
I have to say that the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu are really fierce.
In the Battle of Xia Town, there were only a few white-armored soldiers coming, only a few dozen, otherwise it would be really hard to tell the outcome.
However, this time, Duduo brought more than 2,000 white-armored soldiers to Xuzhou. In the first wave of attack today, Duduo directly threw himself into the Zhenglan Banner, Zhenghong Banner and 900 white-armored soldiers with red flags!
That bitch Duduo really inherited the character of the old slave, he is so ruthless!
When Kuer Chan climbed to the mountainside of the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain with the three hundred white armors of Zhenglan Banner,
The red flag and more than 600 white armor with red flags have also advanced from the left and right wings to the foot of the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain, and then launched a upward attack towards the Ming army on the mountain, attacking from three sides!
At this time, the Ming army guarding the mountain was really panicked.
At the same time, more than two thousand infantry soldiers, vests and red armored soldiers from Zhenglan Banner had also followed.
The red flag, more than 4,000 infantrymen with red flags, horse-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers launched attacks on both wings respectively, preparing to widen the gap opened by the white-armored soldiers.
The situation has completely fallen into Jiannu's control.
At least so far, everything is developing according to Dodo's vision.
As long as the three hundred white armor soldiers of Zhenglan Banner rush to the top of the mountain and gain a firm foothold, the battle in Xuzhou will be decided, and Chongzhen and the Ming army will be unable to recover.
Seeing this scene, Duduo was both happy and annoyed.
Fortunately, the tactics he decided were correct, and the Ming army was caught off guard.
Regrettably, Hauge should not have led the charge with the main basket flag, but with the white flag, so that this great achievement would not have fallen to Hauge.
Hauge couldn't help laughing.
With this great contribution, the nobles of the Eight Banners will definitely look at him with admiration. Ao Bai, Tan Tai and Bai Yin Tu should understand that he, Hao Ge, is the most capable commander of the Qing Dynasty! Not Duduo or Duo Duo.
Ergon, let alone Azig, he, Hauge, is the real prince of the imperial family!
…
Jiannu had already approached within fifty steps of the top of the mountain.
The Ming army musketeers at the gun platform on the top of the mountain opened fire one after another.
Although fifty steps is not the most effective distance, we can no longer care about that much, because if we let Jiannu get closer, they will be shot to death by Jiannu's archers like rabbits.
They had already seen how powerful they were when they were attacking the gun towers at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside.
"The second team... raise the blunderbuss, the third team is ready!" Following Jin Shenghuan's long howl, fifty musketeers stepped forward one after another with blunderbuss, Xu Yingwei and other soldiers were among them.
The regulations of the mountaintop cannon tower are larger than those of the mountainside cannon tower, and the defenders are also more numerous, with 500 people.
Because there are only two gun towers at the top of Peak No. 9, four gun towers on the mountainside, and six gun towers at the foot of the mountain, the number of defenders on each gun tower is not equal.
Xu Yingwei walked behind the protective wall and took a blunderbuss to aim at Jiannu who was struggling to climb up below.
"Let go!" Hearing Jin Shenghuan's roar, Xu Yingwei pulled the trigger hard, flipped up the gunpowder tank cover, and pressed the match rope clamped on the snake rod trigger into the gunpowder tank little by little.
"Bang bang bang!" A continuous sound of gunfire sounded.
The front wall of the gun platform was instantly shrouded in gunpowder smoke.
However, Xu Yingwei did not feel the vibration of the gun.
Under normal circumstances, the recoil when a gun is fired is very large.
He looked down anxiously and found that the gunpowder in the medicine pool had been blown away by the wind.
This is a fatal flaw of the matchlock gun. The gunpowder in the powder tank can easily be blown away by the wind.
It would be even worse if it rains. Before the match rope falls, the gunpowder in the medicine tank will be wetted by the rain.
This is caused by the snake lever trigger of the matchlock gun. Because the snake lever trigger is not pressed fast enough, the medicine tank cover takes a relatively long time to open, and the primer in the medicine tank is exposed for a longer time.
"Damn it!" Xu Yingwei quickly raised the gun and followed the other musketeers back three steps and reloaded the primer. After loading, he waited for him to step forward and fire again.
However, before Xu Yingwei stepped forward again,
The third team of musketeers who had just taken turns suddenly started to commotion.
