The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 332 Decisive Battle in the Country of Sakura (5)

"Come out." He gave an order first, and a large number of Ming troops in the city rushed into the trenches dug in front of them.

Then waited for a while, and the forward coalition rushed within 200 meters.

"Let go" Shang Kexi waved his hand.

Boom, boom, boom, the artillery of the Ming army finally rang.

Ota Zizong has been observing the artillery of the Ming army with a telescope.

He found that the artillery positions of the Ming army were different from theirs. They seemed to be surrounded by something, and only the muzzles could be seen.

So they are almost useless in shelling the past.

But at this moment, the Ming army's cannon rang.

Whoosh, shells flew out one after another.

"So low?" Ota Zizong saw at a glance that the Ming army's artillery was firing very low.

Sure enough, the shell only flew about 200 meters before landing.

At this time, the coalition striker had just rushed within 200 meters.

Puchi, the shell fell directly on the ground, then bounced up, bounced back at high speed, and rolled.

"Ah!" There were screams all the way.

From Ota Zizong's telescope, he saw in horror that the cannonball cut all the way on the ground, and the thighs and calves of countless coalition warriors were cut off.

At least a dozen coalition soldiers were cut off by the single shell that he concentrated on observing.

The first wave of about [-] shells from the Ming army caused hundreds of coalition troops to be killed or injured after landing.

More than a dozen bloody paths were cut at the scene, and rows of coalition soldiers fell to the ground and screamed.

Those who were tortured to death and bled to death were fine, but the coalition forces who survived were all crying. The scene was horrible, like hell.

Before they could react, bang, the second wave of shells flew up and down, then bounced up and rolled again.

The striker of the coalition forces was severely injured, and within 200 meters was like hell, with broken bodies and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves everywhere.

The coalition forces behind were stunned by these two rounds of artillery. Many people were trembling, and some even wanted to turn around and run away.

"Come on——" a general waved his long knife and shouted: "The cannon will not go off again."

"Come on."

His yelling boosted morale, and more people started yelling.

"Come on."

"Kill it."

"Kill Ming thief."

The coalition forces recovered from their panic, and all rushed forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

One hundred and eight, one hundred and sixteen.

one hundred and fifty.

After a while, the former army rushed within 150 meters.

There are allied archers and bird gunners, who no longer care about 71, and just hit the front, of course it has no effect.

Bababa, at this time countless shields appeared on the opposite wall, with a gap of ten centimeters between the shields.

Lumi guns are placed between the two shields.

There are about 140 guns in the entire defensive area of ​​the Ming army.

The Ming soldiers quietly set up their guns and shields, and even looked at the coalition forces rushing madly with sympathy.

130 m.

120 m.

Shang Kexi also stared at them.

Because the formation of the coalition forces is relatively scattered, and replaced by the dense formation of the Han army when they attacked Jinzhou, this distance is gratifying and has already been called a fight.

The few bosses around kept looking at Shang Kexi, obviously more anxious than Shang Kexi.

But Shang Kexi was very calm: "Wait, wait, don't panic, 100 meters, [-], hit."

He kept putting the coalition forces into 80 meters before hitting.

"Bang bang bang" more than 100 guns were fired at the same time, and they were drawn away immediately after firing.

Later, more than 100 gun racks were placed in the middle.

Bang bang bang, let's go after dismissing.

The third row goes up again.

The Ming army had 7000 men and 500 blunderbusses, and there were [-] men guarding Yadao City, which could fight more than a dozen rows.

But the space behind them is not so big, and trenches were built with wooden sandbags stacked up to form a space for artillery defense, so about half of the musketeers can stay here.

This is also able to play six or seven rows in a row.

So within the distance of 100 meters, there was a constant sound of bang bang bang and almost never stopped.

Because the coalition forces charged desperately, many gunmen came up without aiming, and the officers were also shouting.

"Hit fast, don't aim for too long, hit from the neck down."

"There are many people on the opposite side, just don't hit high."

All the Ming soldiers squatted down and retreated behind the wall after fighting, then bent over, loaded their ammunition, and then stepped forward in turn to fire.

As a result, the entire Ming army position was soon filled with white smoke, and Ota in the distance could not see the situation here clearly with a telescope.

Under the continuous bombardment of the Ming army, the last 80 meters distance became a road to hell and death.

Whoosh, their bows and arrows also started to shoot, towards the inner city wall, and a small number of bird guns also wanted to hit this side.

But throwing it at a distance of 80 meters has little effect.

What's more, all the musketeers of the Ming army wore iron armor.

The Ming army's continuous gunshots almost nailed them within a distance of 100 to [-] meters.

If you rush in, you will fall, if you rush in, you will fall.

Rows and rows of coalition forces fell, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Ota Zizong was dumbfounded again, because he had never seen such a sharp and endless shot.

The Ming people's blunderbuss seemed endless, wave after wave, and the coalition forces fell in rows and rows.

Moreover, the Ming people hardly took aim, they just went to places where there were many coalition troops.

Most of them were not hit, but this was even worse. Many wounded soldiers fell to the ground. The screams and cries affected the morale of the coalition troops and blocked their way forward.

There were also blunderbusses of the Ming army who were accidentally hit by the opponent's blunderbusses. Immediately, there was a commander-in-chief who shot at them.

All of a sudden, the blunderbuss of the coalition army were unlucky, and whoever used the blunderbuss would hit them.

"Fire the cannon, fire the cannon." Ota Zizong couldn't bear it anymore, if the fight continued like this, their soldiers and horses would collapse.

Regardless of whether the gun bore was completely cooled, the coalition guns fired again.

Boom, the general's cannon began to blast forward.

But Mingren's gunshots only slowed down a bit, and didn't stop, and they were still so dense.

Many of their shells flew behind Ming's wall, and occasionally they were lucky enough to hit the shield on the wall.

With a puff, the shield split in fours and fives, and Mingren's screams came from behind.

And more shells either hit the wall or flew behind the wall.

Ota Zizong showed joy on his face. He felt that there were all Ming people behind the wall, and they would definitely be beaten and run away.

But if he had a drone and flew behind Mingren's wall, he might be surprised and stunned.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses built several vertical walls with excavated mud and stones at the back, forming a [-]-degree angle with the front horizontal wall, and connecting with the Yadao city wall behind. The big trees below are lined up in rows, and three layers of sandbags are piled up to form a battle pit passage with strong protection.

This is the case for all defense zones within 600 meters.

All the musketeers participating in the battle are in this channel, they go out to shoot in turn, and come back immediately after shooting.

So no matter how fierce the artillery and bows and arrows of the coalition forces were, after crossing the front wall, they fell on top of their heads one after another, blocked by the battle pit.

Modern battle pits are open-air. Ding Yi first flattened and enlarged trees on top, then covered three layers of sandbags, and immediately turned into a bunker-like battle pit.

All the cannons of the Allied Forces were bounced off when they hit them. After the war, many shells could be picked up, and after a little re-handling, they could be used by Ding Yi's field artillery.
