The first row of bandits had already rushed to the barbed wire fence. They held shields in one hand and knives in the other to cover the bandits carrying ladders behind them.
The Eight Banners soldiers began to throw bows and arrows from behind. Arrows fell like locusts for a while, and the city walls and the thatched roofs in the city were covered with arrows.
Yang Fan looked through the blinds and saw that the shields of these bandits were made of improvised shields and wooden boards. These shields were better than nothing, and their protective properties were very limited. They were clearly fooled by the Tatars. It also had a psychological effect. When they charged,
Be a little bolder.
Arrows outside kept hitting the shutters, making a buzzing sound. The soldiers outside were holding wooden boards and pot lids on their backs or carrying them on their backs, and pressed against the wall to avoid being hit by stray arrows.
"Get ready to shoot," Yang Fan said to the grinding table.
"Everyone is here, shoot freely, don't be anxious, aim and hit." Mo Zhui shouted to the surrounding soldiers with a tin trumpet.
Huang San finally got his chance this time. The Shangzi Battalion and the Xiazi Battalion suffered serious battle losses and were in urgent need of reinforcements. They gave priority to recruiting soldiers from the ore beneficiation workers. As the first batch of ore beneficiation workers, Huang San was successfully selected due to his good physique.
He has never experienced the battlefield. However, he is naturally courageous and is not afraid.
Yesterday, the team leader had already summarized the gains and losses of the recent battle and told everyone in detail what to do on the battlefield. They already had a good idea.
Huang San stretched out the musket from the gap in the sandbag and received a new musket with a butt. He still had a long gun head hanging on his waist. The squad leader said, if the enemy rushes to you and has no time to reload, light it and shoot.
Just install the gun head, then hold the very comfortable place in front of the gun butt with one hand, and grasp the handguard under the barrel with the other hand. Use it as a short gun to assassinate the enemy.
He squinted his right eye and looked through the rear sight at the rear of the barrel and the front sight at the front of the barrel, as well as a bandit who didn't know how to get over in front of the barbed wire fence. According to what the corps leader taught him, the three points were connected to form a shoulder.
After adjusting it again, the butt of the gun was firmly supported on his shoulder, and he took a deep breath.
He made sure that he made no mistakes as the corporal taught him, and then the fire break in his right hand lit the first fuse.
The fuse burned very quickly, less than a second, but Huang San's nervous palms were sweating, and this second felt extremely long.
The bandit was still shaking. He underestimated this simple barbed wire. Not only did he fail to climb over, he fell during the shaking, and his clothes were still caught on the barbed wire. As he became anxious, he struggled more and more, and ended up getting entangled in the barbed wire.
The more he struggled, the tighter he became.
Huang San carefully moved the muzzle of the gun little by little, always allowing the bandit, front sight, and rear sight to be aligned.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound, and a ball of flames and smoke spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, while sparks and smoke also spurted out from the ignition hole.
The butt of the gun suddenly jerked back, and his shoulder hurt a little. He immediately remembered that the team leader said that if you don't grasp the position of the butt of the gun well, it will hurt. Everyone's body shape is different for this optimal position, so it depends on your own.
Be flexible and try it out.
Then he saw that the bandit's head exploded. The bullet entered from the forehead. When it flew out from the back of the head, it had expanded into a big hole, and red and white sprayed all over the ground. The bandit immediately fell down.
Not moving anymore.
Huang San felt excited. He didn't expect it to be so easy to kill an enemy.
He immediately put away his joyful mood and continued to look for the next target.
"Huang San, good job. You hit the target for the first time on the battlefield. I'll give you credit." The team leader yelled. This sound was heard by every partner in his team amidst the bang-bang-bang gunfire.
Huang San felt excited and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
He kept up his efforts, aiming at another little boss who was holding a knife, shouting, and instructing others to set up ladders. He shot again. This time he was farther away, more than thirty meters. The fire door gun was at this distance.
The lethality is sharply reduced, and it no longer travels in a straight line. No one can predict where the lead bullet will fly.
The unlucky guy behind the little boss on the left screamed, was shot in the thigh, and fell down.
Although the lead bullet has a diameter of 15 mm and is irregular, resulting in severe attenuation of kinetic energy and greatly reduced power, it is still easy to hit such an unprotected target. The lead bullet penetrates deeply into the flesh of the thigh. Without surgery,
I'm afraid I can't get it out.
This unlucky guy was obviously hit in the artery, blood spurted out uncontrollably, and he fell to the ground wailing.
Throughout the south gate and south city wall, hundreds of gun barrels protruded from the gaps in the sandbags, shooting at the climbers outside the Reaper wire fence.
The bandits were confused by the barbed wire fence. It was obviously just a dozen wire wires nailed to wooden posts. Although it had thorns, it was so difficult to get over it.
It was swaying in the wind, without any strength at all, and it was extremely difficult to climb. If you were not careful, it would get caught and you would not be able to pull it off. A large number of bandits gathered in front of the barbed wire fence, becoming a living target for muskets.
Yang Fan felt relieved. He was most worried that these new recruits would not be able to withstand the human sea offensive. Now it seems that the effect of the barbed wire fence is unexpectedly good.
These modern purchased barbed wires are made of steel wire, and the scissors of this era cannot cut them. The bandits held the wooden shields in front of them in vain, but neither the rattan shields nor the wooden shields could stop the lead bullets at all.
The speed of the bow and arrow is only more than thirty meters per second, and the crossbow arrow can reach forty-five or six, which is already very terrifying. It can definitely break through triple armor at more than ten meters. But Yang Fan's fire gate gun can reach a speed of 150 to 170 meters per second.
.
With this muzzle velocity, there is no problem in penetrating triple armor within 20 meters. If it can hit at 30 meters, even if it cannot penetrate triple armor, the blunt injury caused by the kinetic energy will be very serious, and it is likely to lose the ability to move. Not to mention
It is a Teng shield and a wooden shield. Even a wooden shield covered with iron cannot stop it.
The gunfire on the city wall was slow and steady, because the officers were watching with sticks and were not allowed to fire their guns indiscriminately.
Almost every shot killed someone.
The horrific casualties were like a dark cloud hanging half over the bandits' heads. They were unable to advance, and they were forced to retreat by the Tatars' bows, arrows and spears, which almost drove them crazy.
The entire Jia La people were constantly using their bows to throw arrows at the city to support the bandits' attack. These arrows were densely inserted into the sandbags and penetrated the sacks. A single arrow could not penetrate the sand. And the sand was very thin.
It cushions the power of arrows well.
The fire door guns were fired from the gap in the sandbag that was less than the width of the hand. Some shooting holes were even small gaps between two sacks, covered with another sack.
Most of those falling from the sky were blocked by the pot lids carried by the soldiers on their backs and on their heads and wooden shields made out of temporary work, without much success.
Only a few unlucky ones were shot in the feet and calves that were accidentally exposed. Then they were dragged down by strong men according to the pre-arrangement, bandaged and rescued.
Aktun looked at the situation ahead and said to Abdul Bayan: "Master, we can't charge like this. Five or six hundred bandits are dead and there is no way to get up. This is a wilderness and there is no place to hide from muskets. If you want to
To charge forward, you still need to build the siege equipment before rushing upward."
Abdul Bayan didn't care at all how many bandits were killed or injured. These people were all recruited. To keep it secret, he planned to kill them when he left, but they still had to be used now.
"Let's get here today and retreat."
The sound of clanging gongs sounded. The bandits seemed to be amnesty, and the tide receded. More than a hundred bandits had climbed over the barbed wire fence, and the bandits who were trapped in front of the trench and preparing to set up ladders were dumbfounded and had to climb back again.
