"Boom!" Several sky-shaking thunderbolts were thrown in through the holes in the village wall. Black smoke billowed inside, and fire suddenly appeared.
The musketeers fired at the holes at the same time.
"Kill!" The Han soldiers all got in from the hole at the same time.
As the commander-in-chief, Xiao Shilue has also rushed forward.
The Han army's artillery fired in unison, plowing the mountain camps almost like plowing the ground. The Han army launched attacks from two directions at the same time, causing the Northern Zhou army to be overwhelmed for a while. Xiao Shilue reached the top of the mountain with little effort.
To deal with the Han army's artillery, the Northern Zhou Dynasty used armored cavalry, but to deal with the Han army's artillery, even armored cavalry had no effect.
Moreover, most of the Northern Zhou troops in the north had not directly faced artillery bombardment before this, and the camp of Shuofeng was also easy to target. The camp was not on the reverse slope of the hillside - in fact, if the camp was located on the reverse slope facing Xiao Shilue,
Fortunately, the slope was good. It was difficult for Zhou Peng's artillery to hit them - there were no anti-cannon trenches and other facilities in the camp. The artillery plowed through the entire camp, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the camp
The army can do nothing but run around in panic.
The fierce bombardment suddenly caused the Northern Zhou army to lose an inch. Even Shuofeng himself did not expect that the power of the artillery could be so "terrifying". Under the protection of his personal guards, he hurriedly retreated to the north corner of the camp. There was no archery tower here.
And sentry towers and the like will not be taken care of by the Han army's artillery, but correspondingly, Shuofeng has also lost control of the entire battle situation. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Xiao Shilue to easily climb up such a rugged mountain road.
of.
The soldiers of the Han army rushed into the stronghold, and the sound of artillery stopped.
One after another, figures got in through the holes torn by the shells. Smoke and dust billowed in the camp, and the sounds of fighting could be heard constantly.
Xiao Shilue clenched his sword tightly, and the battle situation had evolved to the current point. As the general, he actually lost the ability to control the battle situation. He might as well lead his bodyguards directly into the front line of fighting. But when he wanted to move forward
, the gate of the camp suddenly opened from the inside.
Xiao Shilue's heart tightened, and he made a gesture to Du Fuwei, who was not far away and was watching the village gate vigilantly. At the same time, he also called on the crossbowmen to follow him and watch the village gate from the flanks.
"Fire the bayonet!" Du Fuwei shouted, "Fire!"
When they invaded the stronghold, Xiao Shilue and Du Fuwei reached a consensus. In order to prevent some phoenixes from using the cavalry in the stronghold to launch an assault on the Han army, the main passage of the stronghold gate must not be touched. All Han army officers and soldiers
Fight your way in through the gap in the wall.
There are musketeers watching next to these gaps, which can clear an open space for the Han soldiers who rush in, so that the Han soldiers can calmly gather in formation at the gaps and then attack forward. Therefore, it is possible to rush to open the gate of the village.
The gain outweighs the loss.
At this time, the gate of the village was opened from the inside. There was only one possibility: the Northern Zhou army gathered near the gate of the village opened it by themselves.
The sound of muskets came and went, but it could not cover up the sound of horse hooves.
Sure enough, the neighing of war horses was accompanied by the figures of cavalry emerging one after another. However, these cavalry obviously did not expect that the Han army musketeers were already waiting outside. This random shot was like a wake-up call, and many cavalry fell off their horses.
But the cavalry behind them still pushed their horses forward desperately, even if the cost was to step over the corpses of their own people.
"Crazy?" Du Fuwei frowned.
This is the top of the mountain, not a place where cavalry can move freely.
Previously, Shuofeng took the initiative to launch an attack on Xiao Shilue. According to the analysis of Xiao Shilue and Du Fuwei, there is another reason, that is, if he did not do this, the light cavalry and armored cavalry under Shuofeng would not be able to play their due role.
The strength of the Northern Zhou army is the cavalry. If a few phoenixes are trapped in the mountain stronghold, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, they can only stare from the side.
And now on the top of this small mountain, Shuofeng actually let Qingqi launch an attack. Isn't this crazy?
Although there is a dense array of Han troops rushing out of the mountain stronghold, behind the Han soldiers, except for the narrow road up the mountain, there are cliffs!
Once the cavalry tears apart the Han army's array, they have almost no chance to rein in the situation.
This is a suicide attack.
Du Fuwei didn't expect Shuofeng to be so crazy.
But in other words, under the current circumstances, replacing the musketeers of the Han army with the light cavalry that can no longer play any role is not necessarily a loss-making deal.
At this time, the Qingqi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty made a cry, which seemed like a roar or a cry. They obviously wanted to fight against this cruel fate. Even if they were going to hell, they would drag the Han soldiers with them!
This is a desperate attack. The more desperate and crazy it is, the more difficult it is to resist.
Xiao Shilue ordered the arrows to be fired.
Arrows rained down, buying the musketeers time to reload.
Du Fuwei had no time to express his gratitude to Xiao Shilue who came to support him with his crossbowmen, so he pulled his trigger again.
On the top of the mountain where people are almost there, there is not much space for the musketeers to move around. Therefore, they must face these crazy Zhou cavalry and eliminate them as much as possible instead of being eliminated by them.
The musketeers tightened their grip on their guns. The enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer. They had no time to reload. Only the muskets in their hands and the sharp bayonets on the muskets could help them fight against the madly galloping horses and the raised arrows.
saber.
The Zhou cavalry did not shoot arrows. They crouched on their saddles to reduce their exposed area as much as possible. Their purpose was very clear, which was to rush in front of the Han army's musketeers and then use the sabers in their hands to ruthlessly kill them.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The sound of muskets sounded not only from the village, but also from the backs of the cavalry. The large number of Northern Zhou cavalry obviously did not expect that there would be Han army musketeers behind them, and they were shot in the back.
Many people fell off their horses.
The sound of musketry became more intensive, this time coming from both sides. Apparently, the Han army musketeers who entered the stronghold through the gaps and holes were also desperately covering Paoze.
"Mo Dao Team, enter!" Xiao Shilue ordered decisively.
The crossbowmen and musketeers were not engaging in casual resistance, but buying time for the Mo Dao team to advance.
The Mo Dao team, which was originally unable to perform in the camp because the weapons in their hands were too bulky, finally found a space to perform, and they no longer bothered to line up - there was only a small platform outside the camp, and they were not allowed to line up at all.
space - he swung his Mo Dao straight towards Northern Zhou Qingqi.
In the previous battles, they had to use their own flesh and blood to block the armored cavalry, and paid a heavy price, which also made the Mo Dao team ashamed.
