Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 47 The Fierce and Strange Battle
"Let me charge up, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" The squad of Eight Banners soldiers who supervised the battle held a big knife and urged the villagers and Han soldiers captured from the surrounding area to charge up first.

The first wave of cannon fodder, consisting of hundreds of villagers and Han soldiers, resolutely attacked the northwest side.Behind them, the golden soldiers held up large shields and formed layers of shield walls to advance, while archers and musketeers were mostly behind the shield walls.Bulky carts are not suitable for deployment on mountainous terrain, and they can only be stacked by human life.

"This group of thieves actually drove the villagers to be the vanguard. Captain, shall we fight or not?" The musketeers in the first line of defense looked at the unarmed villagers from afar, gnashing their teeth in hatred.

"Fight, don't let the golden soldiers succeed! Let's kill more golden soldiers to avenge the folks!"

The villagers who had never been on the battlefield were forced to face the defense line of the Ming army like lambs.But before they came to the range of the musketeers, the deadly iron ball dropped from the sky!
"Help... help..." A villager saw with his own eyes that the shells smashed a companion beside him into meat paste, and blood spattered his face.

The frightened villagers were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and there was a strange smell coming from under their bodies... No matter how urged by the Eight Banners Supervising Team behind them, these villagers refused to take a step forward, or their legs had already weakened from fright.

The cannons fired by Qi Qi made holes in the dense camp of golden soldiers.The condescending terrain makes the solid bullets fired by the cannon faster, and under the action of gravity, it can penetrate the rows of golden soldiers.

"Cannon No. [-], have you seen that flag? There must be a high-ranking official nearby. Are you confident in destroying that flag?" Dong Dawei was sitting on the northwest side with half the firepower of the artillery battalion.

"It's difficult." The rangefinder of the No. [-] artilleryman estimated the distance and said, "The golden soldier's flag is hidden behind rocks and shields, and only the howitzer can hit it, but the reliability of the howitzer and the timing of detonation are difficult." grasp……"

"I just ask if you have the confidence to hit it!" David Dong said.

"Confidence!" said the gunner hastily.

Yue Tuo, the leader of the banner with a red flag, observed the situation on the battlefield below.But he is not as lucky as Chu Yun and the others, who can observe from a distance with advanced monoculars.

Although dozens or even hundreds of soldiers fell under the attack of the artillery, the golden soldiers survived.As long as they continue to rely on dead branches, gravel, and brigades to break through the blockade of the Ming army's muskets, they will be able to capture the Ming army's position with hand-to-hand combat.Moreover, the bows and arrows of the prairie warriors are not jealous.

The corners of Yue Tuo's mouth rose slightly, as if he saw the prairie warriors swarming up like a bamboo, capturing the bandit leader Chu Yun in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, the red-encrusted military flag rushing towards the Ming army's position in his sight fell down, and panic spread rapidly around the collapsed red-encrusted military flag as the center.Jin Bing's offensive came to a halt.

"What's going on?!" Yue Tuo turned pale with shock.

The one who organized the first wave of offensive was Niu Luezhen, his most powerful subordinate, and under the red flag, it was naturally Niu Luezhen who was in command.As soon as the red military flag fell, Niu Lu, who had lost his command, was temporarily at a loss, hiding behind the boulder and looking around in a daze.

"Master Belle, it seems that the Ming army's artillery hit the military flag..." a Jiala forehead beside Yue Tuo said hesitantly.

Yue Tuo's face turned ugly, he knew that Niu Lu, who had lost his backbone, could not continue to attack: "Let them withdraw, and later you take the remaining four Niu Lu of your Jiala and divide them into two batches, attacking in turn. The flag soldiers should not move forward, but should sit in the rear to command, and the charging warriors must not take a step back until they hear the sound of the golden bell.”

"Yes……"

After losing Niu Luerzhen, the Jin soldiers fled in a panic, leaving behind dozens of corpses, receding like a tide.

"Why did the golden men retreat? I'm about to beat them up!" The musketeers guarding the first line of defense raised their muskets, and were about to strike head-on at the golden soldiers who entered the range, but as the golden soldiers embroidered with red flags, If it fell, the Jin soldiers retreated.

Only Dong Dawei's artillery knew that he had killed a big fish.

Next time, I have to ask the military leader to provide a larger caliber artillery.Dong Dawei thought to himself.

The first batch of Jin soldiers had just withdrawn, and Jiala Ezhen commanded more Niu Lu, divided them into small groups of soldiers, and charged the Ming army's position again.It's just that this time it's not a tentative attack, but it's like a tide that will submerge the Ming army's position.

"Fuck them hard for me and avenge the folks!"

The densely packed golden soldiers finally broke through the blockade of the artillery and exchanged fire with the Musketeers on the first line of defense.Musketeers are condescending, and their shooting range is farther than that of bows and arrows. To attack the Ming army, they need to take two to three rounds of line soldiers from the Ming army to shoot.The first line of defense of the Ming army was set up in a relatively open area, with few coverings, and was cleared by the Ming army in advance.This is to literally use human lives to create a bloody path.

The Musketeers deployed by the Fu Liao Army on the first line of defense lined up, relying on the terrain to fire, and the white smoke filled the air, making it difficult for the Jin soldiers to see clearly the situation on the first line of defense.However, the commander of the Liao Army can see where the Jin soldiers have attacked from the side through a monocular.

The roar of artillery, the sound of muskets, bows and arrows and rolling stones flew across the battlefield, and the battlefield on the northwest side fell into tragic consumption.After the Jin soldiers who attacked with muskets suffered heavy casualties, they were finally able to retaliate with bows and arrows, and the Ming army gradually began to suffer casualties...

Compared with the fierce battle on the northwest side, the battle on the southwest side was not tense at all.

The right battalion of the Han army at the foot of the mountain also launched an offensive all over the mountains and plains, which made Chadley, the commander of the [-]th Infantry Battalion in charge of defense, a little nervous at first, wondering if he could hold the high ground smoothly.

But then Chudley discovered that the Ming army's offensive under the mountain was loud with thunder and little rain.As soon as the artillery of the Ming army fired, the right battalion of the Han army nestled under the mountain and did not dare to move.

"Kill all the Ming troops on the mountain!!" The school officer of the right battalion of the Han army shouted hysterically.

"Kill!" Thousands of Han soldiers from the right battalion of the Han army yelled in unison, and the sound was so loud that even Yue Tuo, who was far away in the northwest, heard the big commotion from the southwest.

They are all movie kings!From the high ground, Chadley looked at the right battalion of the Han army who only yelled and slapped the shield at the bottom of the mountain, but did not attack for a long time. He finally understood that these Han troops were here to fight for soy sauce, and they would not waste their precious lives as Jinren Work hard.

"No wonder the chief asked me to call out a brigade as a reserve team to support the Northwest." Chadley finally understood Chu Yun's arrangement, "Let the brothers fire a few shots from time to time, they will act, and we must cooperate."

So there was such a strange scene on the southwest side that the Han army only shouted but did not attack, and the Ming army fired empty guns.And from Jinren's point of view, the fight in the southwest direction is also fierce...
