Don't be surprised, the trapping camp that Supervisor Biao created was modeled after the Tang Dynasty Army's assault battalion!
When they first encountered the Tang Dynasty Army's assault battalion, the ordinary troops of Du Biao were no match at all, because the Tang Army's assault battalion troops were basically used when attacking cities, and such battles often took place on narrow city walls.
, a complete melee, and troops not wearing heavy armor would simply not be able to withstand it.
Later, the governor, like the ordinary Ming army, began to concentrate heavy armored infantry for targeted confrontation. Later, it was found that this was not possible because although the Tang Army's assault battalion was a heavy armored force, it was actually a combined force of multiple arms.
There are heavy armored sword and shield soldiers, musketeers, grenadiers, and sometimes even archers. There are melee and melee combat, close fire support and close fire support, and even medium and long-range firepower.
All.
Later, the Tang Army's assault battalion even brought shotguns!
Therefore, the governor initially used musketeers, archers, and even artillery with bowl-mouth cannons to support the heavy armored infantry in the confrontation, but the temporary cooperation was definitely not good.
So they simply didn’t think much about it and directly imitated the Tang Army’s assault camp and established their own trap camp!
From the organization to the types of troops and weapons and equipment, everything was copied!
It's just that their tactical positioning is somewhat different. Their trap camp is not used to attack the city, but is used specifically to fight against the Tang Army's assault battalion.
Even though the Tang Army's assault battalions have long been equipped with plate armor and flintlock rifles, the difference between the two is still very small.
The Army of the Tang Dynasty was speechless about this matter, but Dubiao had copied the Army of the Tang Dynasty not once or twice, and they were not surprised.
When the Tang Dynasty Army's assault battalion began to climb the ruins, the governor camp on the inside also began to climb the ruins of the city wall, and their speed was even faster. If nothing else, they would most likely be the first to climb.
Climb to the top of the ruins and take advantage of the height!
But this kind of battle for the ruins will naturally not be just because the Ming army occupied the top first, and then the Tang Army assault battalion gave up. They will continue to attack until they completely occupy it!
In order to create a breakthrough opportunity for the assault battalion, how long did the entire Second Army prepare?
Many early artillery preparations, digging tunnels and blasting, and digging trenches to advance were all for the day of the general attack. The early stage of the general attack was to assault the assault battalion and occupy the ruins of the city wall as its core purpose.
Even now, hundreds of artillery pieces in the rear are continuing to bombard, and thousands of musketeers following behind are to provide fire support to the assault battalion!
At this critical moment, how can you give up so easily!
At this time, the soldiers who were rushing to the front in the assault camp were almost climbing to the top of the ruins. Naturally, those who were rushing to the front were not the heavy-armored sword-and-shielders wearing full-body armor. They carried too much weight and could not climb up.
The speed of this ruin is a bit slow.
The ones at the forefront are the grenadiers!
Although they were also wearing armor, they only wore breastplates and the load was relatively light. In addition, they needed to rush ahead to launch the first round of firepower!
Instead of shooting with a musket, throw grenades!
Because you don’t need to think about it to know that there must be a large number of Ming troops climbing inside the ruins and competing with them for the top of the ruins!
When they approached the top of the ruins, they were the first to see the Ming army appearing above. Immediately, the leading grenadier officer immediately ordered the bomb to be dropped!
At this critical moment, not a second can be wasted. The Ming army must be suppressed as soon as possible. Even musket shooting will not work. Hand grenades are the best choice!
Then, in the next moment, grenades dozens of meters away were thrown up!
When the grenade was thrown out, explosions sounded one after another, but because they were below and their line of sight was blocked, they didn't know the killing effect of the grenade.
But when they saw a small black spot on the opposite side, they knew that the first wave of grenades was not effective in attacking the ruins. Because the rubble on the ruins of the city wall was relatively large, it was easy for the enemy to attack it.
Hide behind rubble rocks to defend yourself from grenades.
Otherwise, the Ming army would not have thrown grenades to counterattack.
Watching the grenades flying over, each of these grenadiers used the ruins to hide. At the same time, the officers kept shouting: "Drop the bomb, drop the bomb!"
Some of the rubbles on the ruins of this city wall are very huge and serve as natural defensive barriers. The previous Ming army was able to use these ruins and rubbles to reduce casualties, and they could naturally do the same.
The battle between the two sides did not break out first with hand-to-hand combat, nor did it break out with musket fire, because at this time, although the straight-line distance between them was only seven or eight meters, they were separated by the top of the ruins.
At most, I only occasionally see the opponent's figure. The main attack still relies on grenades that can be thrown in a curve!
Both sides were throwing grenades, and dense explosions continued to sound. The grenadiers at the front inevitably suffered certain casualties!
But the captain of the Grenadier team who led the team still waved the command knife in his hand: "Drop the bomb, the back row will shoot and cover, and the front row will assault!"
As he spoke, the Grenadier Captain crouched and used the gravel to block him and climb forward quickly!
The other grenadiers also stepped forward alternately among the ruins. This was only a few meters away, but they were extremely careful!
Because the enemy is not far away!
When the grenadiers used grenades and shots to charge forward, the heavy armor, sword and shield soldiers in the rear continued to move forward with firm steps!
Although the grenadiers at the front are fighting lively, everyone knows that in this kind of battle, these heavy armor, sword and shield soldiers are the backbone!
These heavy-armored sword-and-shield soldiers are the strongest soldiers in the assault camp. The full-body plate armor on their bodies covers them from head to toe. Even their faces are covered by masks. The only thing about their bodies is
Only two eyes are exposed!
A few seconds later, the grenadiers in front basically suppressed the firepower of the Ming army in front by throwing intensive grenades. However, at this time, the grenades they carried had basically finished throwing.
At this time, a large number of heavy armored infantry passed over the grenadiers and actually climbed to the top of the ruins!
As for the Dubiao Camp, which completely copied the Tang Dynasty Assault Battalion, their tactics were exactly the same. After the musketeers in front threw grenades, they also sent their heavy armored infantry up!
It didn't take long for the tin cans to appear on top of the ruins!
However, although both sides are wearing iron armor, they are very easy to recognize!
Because the heavy armored infantry of the Tang Dynasty's assault battalion all wore full-body armor, and the plate armor was made of forged steel and polished, so it looked very smooth and even in strong sunlight.
It's reflective.
The heavy armored infantry of the Ming army on the opposite side were wearing iron armor, which was naturally not as bright as the plate armor of the heavy armored infantry of the Tang Dynasty's assault battalion!
So it is easy to identify them. Those shiny iron cans must be soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's assault camp, while those with darker armor and many scales must be soldiers of the Ming army!
After these iron cans appeared on the top of the ruins, the heavy armored infantry of the Ming Army on the opposite side discovered that many of their opponents did not hold swords at all. In addition to shields, they only held small muskets in their hands.
What are these things?
There was no time to wonder, they just saw the puppet Tang rebels on the opposite side raising their small muskets. They didn't even see the lit match ropes, and they could directly see them opening fire.
After the white smoke rose, they saw these pseudo-Tang rebels throwing away their pistols, pulling out their stainless steel swords from their waists and rushing forward!
However, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army discovered that more than twenty of their comrades had already fallen before even engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
Don't think that there are only a few dozen. You must know that although this battle is crucial, the troops invested by both sides at the same time are only a few hundred people. Apart from grenadiers, musketeers and the like,
Less than half of the heavy infantry were there.
However, the space at the top of the ruins was limited, and the movements came first and then later. The Ming army only had seventy or eighty heavy armored infantrymen, while the Tang army only had a hundred people.
But now, the Ming army suddenly lost more than twenty people. This result will be almost catastrophic for the next battle!
There was no time to think about it, no time to think about it, the heavy armored infantry from both sides just collided with each other!
Everyone is an iron can, and ordinary slashing is useless, because it can't break the armor at all!
The Tang Army's plate armor could defend even muskets to a certain extent, let alone ordinary chopping.
The Ming army's iron armor and cotton iron armor were combined with each other, and their protective power was not low. Ordinary chopping was basically unable to cause effective damage to them.
Therefore, when these tin cans fight, they seem to be very clumsy, and the range of their movements is also very small. There is no so-called wide-open and wide-open slashes, but when they strike, they are often fatal with one strike!
Because when they attack, they usually target the weak points of the enemy's armor protection, including the joints of various parts of the armor. They mainly stab at them, while when they chop, they mainly target the head.
Needless to say, stabbing is basically a fatal blow!
When it comes to chopping, the most important thing is to directly hit the enemy's head with a huge impact. The helmet can protect the head from being chopped, but it cannot protect the head from being shaken!
Therefore, the battles of these heavy armored infantry often involve direct shield blocking, mainly to protect some of their own weak points. As for other directions, they are completely exposed and do not care. Sometimes, these heavy armored infantry will even
Take advantage of the terrain and size to directly push the enemy to the ground.
