Duduo said: "Gulmahun, let's see what happens next."
"Hey!" Gurma Hui knelt on one knee and struck a thousand blows, then stood up and shouted, "Warriors of the Zhenglan Banner, failure is not terrible once, but what is terrible is that after failing once, you will never get up again!"
"So, I ask you to forget the last failure."
"Let us take courage and return to the battlefield to win honor."
After a pause, Gurmahun said to Jia La Zhangjing Fei Yangwu again: "Fei Yangwu, you will lead the team this time."
As the leader of the small banner of Zhenglan Banner, Gurma Hui would not easily participate in the war again, so the next attack was led by Jia Lazhangjing Fei Yangwu of Zhenglan Banner. Three of the Eight Banners Han Army participated in the attack.
Niulu, the two Niulu of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the three Niulu of the Zhenglan Banner, among which the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Mongolia are responsible for cover and support.
The main attackers were still the three Niulu flag soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner.
"Hey!" Fei Yangwu slapped Gurmahun perfunctorily.
Although Gurmahun is the third son of the late Bel Amin, he had not made any achievements before and was just an ordinary bannerman. Now he suddenly became the small banner leader of the Zhenglan Banner. This is also
No wonder Zhenglan Banner generals like Fei Yangwu are resentful and join forces to bully our Zhenglan Banner, right?
It's enough to frame up and kill the tiger Hauge. Even if you can't choose another tiger to be the flag leader, you still have to choose a dog anyway? In the end, you chose a pig to be the flag leader. Play
Woolen cloth?
However, resentment is resentment, but when it comes to fighting, Fei Yangwu is still not at all conceited.
Because the Qing Dynasty established the country by force, everything was based on military exploits. The distribution of spoils of war, promotion of promotions and promotions all depended on military exploits. No one has yet been able to obtain more trophies or obtain a higher title without relying on military exploits.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Fei Yangwu was with Gurmahun, he could not be passive and slack in work.
Soon, three Niu Lu's Zhenglan Banners pushed 36 pallet trucks into the trench.
Behind Zhenglan Banner were three Niulu Musketeers from the Eight Banners Han Army and two Niulu Eight Banner Mongolians.
The trench dug by Fan Chengmo with a coat of white flags generally extends longitudinally to the foot of Yunlong Mountain, but it is not straight, but extends forward in a zigzag line.
Therefore, it can avoid the fire threat from the Tiger Crouching Cannon on both sides of the gap and the Hongyi Cannon on the top of Yunlong Mountain.
Moreover, the Ming army could not dispatch infantry or cavalry to launch an attack directly from the lake, because the slope protection and gun platform in the gap with a width of more than 400 steps had been cleared, and the Hongyi artillery of the Eight Banners and Han Army could hit the foot of Yunlong Mountain directly.
If the Ming army sent out infantry or cavalry to harass, they would be directly exposed to the firing range of Jiannu Hongyi cannon.
Therefore, the 900 flag men belonging to the Zhenglan Banner easily pushed the cart to the foot of the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain and deployed to the southwest of the No. 1 gun platform at the foot of the mountain.
This area happens to be the blind spot for the Ming Army's Hongyi artillery deployed on the top of Yunlong Mountain.
Because the Ming army's Hongyi cannons were at a numerical disadvantage, they considered survival factors and did not build the artillery position at the No. 1 gun platform on the top of the mountain, which had the best shooting range but was also most vulnerable to destruction by Jiannu's Hongyi cannons.
The artillery positions were built on both sides of the No. 2 gun platform at the back.
Although this kind of deployment has a blind spot for shooting, it can avoid Jiannu's Hongyi cannon.
In short, the nine hundred bannermen of the Zhenglan Banner were deployed smoothly and pushed the carriage forward.
Three Niulu, nine hundred Eight Banners Han troops, and two Niulu, six hundred Eight Banners Mongolians, stayed behind to protect the troops.
Amidst the sound of drums, horns and shouts of Jiannu Banners, thirty-six gun carriages lined up side by side gradually approached No. 1 gun platform at the foot of the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain.
Soon, they were within a hundred steps of the cannon platform at the foot of the mountain.
The four squatting tiger cannons on the musket platform fired first, pouring pieces of muskets into the middle of Jiannu's infantry phalanx, and the flag soldiers in the formation instantly burst into continuous wails.
The cart can protect the front, but it cannot protect the top of the head.
However, the Ming Army's Crouching Tiger Cannon could shoot in a curve.
The Baya soldiers wearing triple armor are not afraid of the musket attacks of the squatting tiger cannon, but the flag soldiers wearing only a piece of iron armor or cotton armor cannot withstand the musket attack.
So I could only squeeze in the back of the cart as much as possible.
In just a hundred steps, nearly a hundred people were killed or injured.
When they advanced to the Ming army's gun platform, there were about 800 flag soldiers left.
The subsequent tactics were exactly the same as those of the white-armored soldiers before. They still pushed the cart into the trench, and then the flagmen fell into the trench along the hemp ropes, righted the cart and continued to push forward.
During this process, three Niu Lu of the Eight Banners Han Army had followed up.
Nine hundred musketeers relied on sidecars to resist the Ming army's Crouching Tiger Artillery. They were divided into six front and rear teams. The one hundred and fifty musketeers in the front row had already raised their blunderbuss, and the black hole of the blunderbuss was aimed at the guard wall of the blunderbuss platform in front of them.
.
The other two Niulu Eight Banners Mongolians still stayed in the rear to raid the formation.
At this time, the Ming army on the gun platform did not do anything else except shelling, and allowed the bannermen of Zhenglan Banner to push the carts towards the protective wall.
Soon, the ladders of the thirty-six carriages were erected and then pushed against the guard wall. The iron hooks at the top of the ladders were also firmly pressed against the guard wall of the cannon platform.
However, the Ming army on the gun platform still showed no reaction.
At this time, Fei Yangwu felt a sense of uneasiness. This situation was different from before.
Before they even got close to the city wall, the Ming army defending the city crowded the city wall with shouts and screams, and used various weapons such as blunderbuss, bows and arrows, and even rolling logs and rocks to knock them down.
But today they have already set up the ladders, but the Ming army still has no reaction. This is too abnormal.
Years of battlefield battles and countless experiences of crawling out of the dead told Fei Yangwu that the more abnormal the phenomenon, the more terrifying the conspiracy was.
Unfortunately, the arrow is already on the string and must be fired.
Fei Yang could only grit his teeth and shout: "Come on, come on!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! More than three hundred warriors immediately divided into thirty-six teams and rushed up on the ladder.
Fei Yangwu and the remaining more than 500 flagmen retreated a little, drew their large bows and aimed at the parapet wall. As long as the Ming army on the parapet peeked their heads for a moment, they would shoot together with the Han army musketeers outside the trench.
Fei Yangwu had reason to believe that under the suppression of the Han army's musketeers and 500 archers, the Ming army on the gun platform would be hard-pressed to even probe, let alone throw thousands of enemies and throw down rolling logs.
Actions such as pounding rocks.
Therefore, there should be no doubt that more than 300 warriors rushed to the gun platform, and the next step was close combat.
There was no problem with melee combat. Fei Yangwu combed through it carefully and found that there was no problem.
But why do I always feel a vague uneasiness in my heart?
…
Ming army gun platform.
All the Ming troops retreated fifteen steps away, leaving a huge open space between them and the protective wall.
Fortunately, the gun platform at Yunlong Mountain was large enough. If it were the same size as the gun platform on the plain, the Ming army would have given half of the gun platform to Jiannu.
In addition, the gun platform at the foot of the mountain is semicircular in shape.
More than 300 Ming troops and more than 100 scholars were divided into twelve front and rear teams.
The first team consists of fifty sword players, and the second to fifth teams each have fifty spear players.
The sixth to twelfth teams are all musketeers, each with thirty men, for a total of two hundred and ten men.
The swordsman and spearman both knelt down and leaned over, while the musketeer held the bird gun or Lumi gun with both hands flat, the match rope had been lit and the snake rod trigger was clamped.
There was silence on the gun platform.
It was so quiet that you could clearly hear the howls of the slaves outside the protective wall.
You can also hear the sound of boiling water and golden juice being boiled in the large pot behind, and the air is filled with the stench that makes people sick.
The golden juice doesn't smell very bad when it's not cooked.
But after boiling, it smells terrible.
However, both the frontier soldiers and the scholars seemed very uncertain.
Compared to life and death, what is a mere stink? It's a trivial matter.
In addition to being very calm, the soldiers and scholars of the Ming army were also very calm.
The reason is simple. The last battle with Jiannu's white-armored soldiers gave them great confidence.
Even more than 900 of the most elite white-armored soldiers were wiped out by them. What does the attack of a few hundred ordinary slaves mean? If they dare to come, they will be beaten to death.
Soon, the first group of thirty-six slaves crossed the fortress wall.
Xu Yingwei, who was in charge of commanding the musketeers, shouted: "First team, fire!"
"Boom! Boom boom boom!" Accompanied by the deafening sound of gunfire, most of the first group of Jian slaves who rushed up to the protective wall fell instantly, leaving only three or five Jian slaves standing there alone.
At a loss.
The first group of musketeers immediately retreated after firing their cannons, and the second group moved forward.
"Second team, fire!" Xu Yingwei roared, followed by the sound of gunfire.
The second group of more than 30 Buddhist slaves who rushed to the cannon fell again, and most of them fell, leaving only less than five.
It takes less than twenty steps in total, and the matchlock gun can still hit the target no matter how poor its accuracy is, so the kill rate is frighteningly high.
The only bad thing was that after firing two rows of muskets, the front of the formation was shrouded in smoke, making it difficult to see clearly even ten steps away.
Jin Shenghuan immediately yelled: "The knife player is in front, the spear player is following, and I will stab these thieves down!"
The sword player kneeling in the front row jumped up with a roar, and the four rows of spearmen quickly followed suit. The four rows of spears with flat ends in their hands instantly formed a jagged forest of spears.
The third group of Jiannu who had just rushed onto the cannon platform were knocked to the ground in an instant.
More than thirty Jiannu slaves, together with the remaining seven or eight Jiannu slaves from the previous two groups, were instantly chopped into pieces.
However, in this way, the Ming army was exposed to the attacks of the Eight Banners Han Army musketeers and the Jiannu archers.
Rows of lead rods and waves of arrows rained down in an instant. Even though they were blocked by wooden signs, more than a dozen spearmen were shot or hit by arrows in an instant.
2k
Jiannu's archery skills are really great.
But fortunately, the smoke has quickly dispersed by this time.
The wind is blowing from the northwest today, and the wind strength varies from strong to weak.
Jin Shenghuan immediately shouted: "Knife players and spear players return to their original positions!"
The sword player and the spear player quickly retreated to their original positions, knelt down on one knee, and let the shooting range go out.
Almost at the same moment, the fourth group of Jiannu also crossed the protective wall and appeared in front of the musketeers' guns.
"Third team, fire!" Accompanied by Xu Yingwei's loud roar and the loud banging sound of gunfire, the fourth group of Jiannu suffered heavy losses in an instant.
Then came the fifth and sixth rounds...
The Ming army's tactics were still the alternation of bird cannon and Lumi cannon.
If the wind is strong, the smoke will quickly dissipate, and sword players and spear players will not even be needed to save the situation.
Only when the wind is not strong enough to blow away the gunpowder smoke in time, the sword players and spear players need to temporarily support it, blocking one or two attacks from Jiannu, and then retreat after the end.
Jiannu suffered a tragic death this time. They had never encountered such a method of warfare.
The Ming troops we encountered in the past would, without exception, crowd behind the protective wall, shoot down muskets or attack thousands of enemies, or throw various objects such as rolling logs and rocks.
But now, the Ming army actually retreated fifteen steps away from the protective wall.
They waited for Jiannu to show up and then fired, which made Jiannu very passive.
First, the archers and musketeers who provide negative cover outside the city have become decorations. Second, due to the limitations of siege equipment, the death squads that capture the city cannot form a numerical advantage, which becomes a fueling tactic.
According to this method of fighting, no matter how many Jiannu come, they will not be enough for the Ming army to kill.
Although the reloading speed of the matchlock gun was slow, the seven rows of musketeers fired successively, which greatly increased the continuity of the firepower. There was almost no pause in the middle, and there was no opportunity for the slaves to take advantage of.
This wave of Ming army musketeers was really exciting.
In less than half an hour, ten groups of slaves were killed before and after.
Even if one group is calculated as thirty people, ten groups are three hundred.
However, the Ming army suffered only less than thirty casualties.
This casualty ratio is exaggerated, completely unlike the casualty ratio of the Ming army against the Jiannu.
…
Fei Yangwu was completely stunned.
Seeing row after row of flag men falling backwards from the parapet, Fei Yangwu's brain completely shut down and he didn't know what kind of reaction he should make.
It wasn't just Fei Yangwu who was confused.
The five hundred flagmen in the trench and the nine hundred Han army musketeers outside the trench were also stunned.
They didn't even know what happened on the gun platform. They just heard the huge bang bang bang bang bang bang bang gunfire sound, and then waves of attacking flagmen fell down.
When the tenth wave of ant attack flags also fell down, Fei Yangwu finally came to his senses.
"Retreat!" Fei Yangwu, who had come to his senses, decisively issued the retreat order without any hesitation.
In less than half an hour, three hundred bannermen had already been killed. How could they survive if they continued to fight?
In the last battle, Zhenglan Banner had already lost a thousand bannermen, including 300 white-armored soldiers. This time they were going to destroy all 900 bannermen. How many soldiers could Zhenglan Banner have left?
According to this method of death, Zhenglan Banner can be revoked soon.
Since there aren’t many strong men, what’s the point of leaving an empty shell?
Fei Yangwu didn't even bother to take care of the carriage and evacuated directly.
If the carriage is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the flagman dies in battle, it cannot be rebuilt.
It takes at least ten or twenty years for a bannerman to grow up.
However, if Jiannu wanted to retreat at this time, it would not be that easy.
Realizing that Jiannu wanted to withdraw, Ming army musketeers immediately appeared behind the protective wall on the gun platform.
