Chapter 165
"fire!"

Cui Shijie yelled hoarsely.

The ground trembled, and huge puffs of sharp gunpowder smoke rose instantly. Amidst the deafening roar, patches of smoke rose from Xuan Dajun's defense line.

During the roar of artillery fire, cannons shot out from the muzzle of the Frang machine. Whenever the Qing army's shield chariot was hit, it would all be shattered. The distance was too close. After the cannon smashed the shield chariot, it was still jumping and rolling. There was a whine from behind the shield car.

It was as if a huge gust of wind was blowing, and amidst the roar of dense lead pellets and iron bullets, they hit the coat-coated Ahha and the auxiliary soldiers who were pushing the cart behind the shield cart, including the bows and arrows of the Qing army following behind the shield cart. Large pieces of hands were also swept to the ground, and dense blood holes appeared on everyone's body.

…………

Gou Changsheng, a leader of the A and C teams of the left post, stared at the Qing army shield chariot slowly advancing on the passage. He estimated that he was about to enter the distance of [-] steps, and hurriedly reminded loudly: "Get ready, listen! When the cannons sound, fire the guns, and don't be afraid of anyone..."

"boom……"

There was a loud noise, and the cannons fired continuously, while the smoke rose, the cannons flew, especially the big cannons of the Fran machine gun, as long as they hit the shield car, they would be smashed to pieces.

The archers of the Qing army who had been hiding behind the shield chariot suddenly became flustered, especially those who saw their companions being killed and maimed by the cannonballs.

"Hit, hit the Tartar..."

Gou Changsheng shouted in a hoarse voice amidst the roar of artillery fire.

The sound of "bang... bang..." can be heard endlessly.

Although they didn't fire a special standard salvo, the power of the volley of guns was also displayed. Those Qing soldiers hiding behind the shield car were completely exposed to Xuan Dajun's eyes after the shield car shattered.

The sound of firecrackers like popping beans sounded, and the bullets flew, and there was a sound of mourning immediately.

…………

Here, the sergeants on the defense line of the Xuanda Army braved the arrow feathers thrown by the Qing army and fired a row of guns. Most of the shield chariots in the front row of the Qing army were destroyed, and the Qing soldiers behind them were also hit by artillery and fire guns. , suffered heavy casualties.

But under the urging of the sound of the drums, many Qing soldiers with swords and shields in heavy armor rushed forward one after another. They rushed through the formation of archers, struggled to cross the trench, and rushed forward.

The Qing army rushed forward densely, beyond the imagination of Xuan Dajun's soldiers. Although there were many people who fell to the ground and mourned under the attack of guns and cannons, they could not stop the Qing army's forward momentum.

Gou Changsheng, the armor chief, looked at the ferocious offensive of the heavy armored infantry of the Qing army holding shields layered on the front side passage, and his heart suddenly became cold. He saw the gunmen beside him loading ammunition, but the Qing soldiers kept rushing forward.

In the midst of anxiety, there was a roar, and the two French cannons at the entrance roared again, and the Qing soldiers in front fell to the ground, and a thick bullet pierced through the heavy armored Qing soldiers in the front row, and shot backwards. Bring out a bloody path.

Although the rush of the Qing soldiers stopped at the passage, those Qing soldiers who jumped over the ditch rushed forward again. Although some of them were warriors, because of the wide ditch, they fell into the ditch during their vertical jump and were injured by the sharp sticks inside. It didn't stop its offensive, but kept rushing forward.

After rushing forward for less than thirty steps, a deep ditch blocked the way forward. With their previous experience, they all jumped up and jumped over by taking advantage of the momentum of running.

Unexpectedly, although the opposite side of this ditch is ordinary, it is extremely slippery. The Qing soldiers who jumped over from the first row slipped and fell one after another. Before they could get up, the Qing soldiers behind rushed over and fell on them.

Gou Changsheng didn't have time to think about it. He saw that most of the artillerymen had loaded their guns, and the Qing army rushed forward again at the passage, shouting: "Aim at the Tartars, hit..."

After finishing speaking, he drew out his waist knife, ready to rush up and fight hand-to-hand with the Qing soldiers!
…………

Strands of heavy armored infantry of the Qing army rushed forward holding their shields. Their biggest enemy was the Buddha Wolf machine gun that fired at an unknown time. That was their worst nightmare.

Every time the flames flashed and the smoke rose, countless Qing warriors fell to the ground!

The second is the firecrackers. Although they have heavy armor and large shields, they cannot withstand the bombardment of the Xuanda army's firecrackers at such a distance.

The dense formation of Qing soldiers rushed up, and at a distance of dozens of steps, as long as Xuan Dajun's musketeers aimed and fired, one of the Qing soldiers' heavy armor would stagger and fall to the ground with a cloud of blood spraying from his body.

Tian Mingyu commanded twenty musketeers in the team. With the cooperation of another team of comrades on the opposite side of the passage, they flanked the Qing army that was rushing, supported by three cannons standing at the head of the passage, and indeed killed a large number of Qing troops.

However, there were too many layers of the Qing army, and after the gunners fired another round of Francois machine guns, the Qing army was about to rush to the earth wall. Huang An, the three-armed commander, picked up his shield and hatchet and shouted loudly: "Brothers! , kill the Tartars..."

His burly figure jumped up from behind the earthen wall, and he was the first to meet the heavy armored infantry of the Qing army who rushed forward. The first-class sergeant on the opposite side also rushed up at this time. The reserved passage was not wide enough to accommodate about 20 people. Pass side by side.

Huang An and other two armored heavy infantry, exactly 20 people, rushed up and almost blocked the entire passage, with shield soldiers in front and spearmen behind, occupying the center of the passage, and standing together facing the Qing soldiers.

…………

All passages are only a dozen or so paces wide. Although the Qing soldiers have a huge advantage in numbers, they cannot be deployed. The width is limited. No matter how many of them there are, there can only be about twenty or so in a row.

No matter how anxious they are, they will not be able to squeeze through the rows of Qing soldiers following up, unless the people in front are dead.

When they risked their lives to get closer to twenty steps, suddenly, Xuan Dajun's tiger squatting gun just happened to be reloaded, there was a loud noise, and smoke rose, and the two rows of Qing soldiers who rushed to the front were directly beaten into the air, and then followed All the people are bloody and bleeding profusely.

But there were too many Qing soldiers, they were crowded in the narrow passage, and the Qing soldiers behind were crowded all the way forward, unable to stop at all, stepping over the corpses of dead Qing soldiers, they were about to rush into the Xuanda army's defense line.

I saw more than 20 Xuan Dajun rushing out wearing armor, holding shields and axes, and the two sides fought bloody together.

At this time, after the Qing army rushed to cross the first ditch, they were not in a hurry to cross the second ditch. Many of their archers were at this distance of more than 40 steps. Soldiers.

These archers of the Qing army generally held strong bows and sharp arrows. They aimed at the soldiers of the Xuanda army behind the earth wall and suppressed them with bows and arrows.

The two sides shot at each other for a while, and those Qing archers were really powerful. After they rushed forty or fifty steps, many soldiers of the Xuanda Army would be shot to death by the Qing archers as long as they showed their upper body, even if they only showed a head. , Shot.

With such a short distance, Xuan Dajun's firecrackers were extremely accurate, and as long as they were hit by the firecrackers, it was almost impossible to survive, but the number was at a disadvantage, so there was no way.

In this way, the Qing army's bows and arrows gradually suppressed Xuan Da's army at about the same time. As soon as the Qing army's heavy armored infantry opened the gap at the passage, they could swarm up and attack Jia Zhuangming's barracks.
