Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 443
However, as soon as Xia Longshan finished speaking, there was a dense sound of firing guns from the opposite side.

In the next moment, there were continuous screams from the van formation, at least twenty musketeers fell down with bullets, and the rest of the musketeers quickly shrank behind the guard.

Wu Yingqi's bowl was also shot.

It's just passing by the ear, it's not a big problem.

"Uncle Xia!" Wu Yingqi squatted low behind the guard, glared at Xia Longshan with some dissatisfaction, and said with a dark face, "This is the dummy you mentioned? Can Minggou's dummy also fire guns? "

"This..." Xia Longshan was at a loss for words, and his expression was a little awkward.

Xin said that Ming Gou on the opposite side was really cunning, true and false, making people hard to guard against.

Wu Yingqi taunted Xia Longshan for a while, then turned his head and shouted at the musketeer hiding behind the panel of the van: "Warriors in the Liaoxi Corridor, you have been enjoying the favor of the Liaoxi General for decades, and now it is you!" It's time for you to repay the Liaoxi generals with your lives, show your courage, go all out, and beat the cross!"

Accompanied by this loud roar, Wu Yingqi got up again and stood behind the protective wall of the van.

Seeing this, more than 100 musketeers who shrank behind the parapet also got up one after another, raising their guns and firing.

The Ming army musketeers on the opposite platform fired almost at the same time, and there was a dense sound of firing guns, and more than a dozen Guan Ning army musketeers dumped their bullets on the car, wailing repeatedly.

Wu Yingqi was unmoved at all.

"Each team, keep improving and play in turn!"

The second team of musketeers quickly stepped up, ready to fire their guns.

The Ming army on the opposite side fired their guns first again, and another musketeer fell to the ground.

At this time, the wall of the car was basically covered by gunpowder smoke, and it was hard to see clearly.

However, this did not have much impact on the musketeers of the Guanning Army. There were musketeers who continued to replace them.

In this way, the Ming army and the Guan Ning army exchanged fierce fire across a trench thirty steps wide.

Although Guan Ning's army used matchlock guns, there were more musketeers, and they were divided into six teams to fire in turn, which could barely guarantee the continuity of firepower without interruption.

But the firepower density cannot be compared with the Ming army.

After a while, the Guanning Army Musketeers fell into a disadvantage.

In less than a quarter of an hour after the exchange of fire, Guan Ning's army had already lost four or five hundred people.

But the firepower of the Ming army on the opposite side has not weakened at all, but there are bad signs of becoming more and more courageous as they fight.

This is indeed the case. The Ming army on the opposite side was also a handyman at the beginning. After all, he had not participated in too many battles, so he did not have much experience in firing guns.

There is still a difference between training and actual combat.

But today the Ming army really played well.

The more times you shoot the gun, the more experience you get.

As a result, the marksmanship of the Ming army improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Now it was the Guan Ning army's turn to suffer, and the casualties rose sharply.

At the beginning, the Ming army on the opposite side fired a round of guns, and the Guan Ning army had at most [-] casualties.

But now, the Ming army fired guns in one round, and it could bring down thirty or even forty Guanning army. If this continues, in about two quarters of an hour, nearly two thousand musketeers should be killed or killed.

"Eldest nephew, it won't work like this." Xia Longshan became anxious.

After all, the musketeers who suffered casualties also had his pacesetters in their hands.

"We have to use cannons, let the Eight Banners Han army pull the red cannons here!"

Wu Yingqi ignored Xia Longshan, stood up abruptly and shouted: "Spearman, attack!"

If the musketeers can't overwhelm the Ming army on the opposite side, they can only use the spearmen to launch a strong attack. As long as the spearmen enter the gun platform, the Ming army musketeers on the opposite side will become lambs.

It must be admitted that the Guan Ning Army still has a little combat effectiveness.

Wu Yingqi gave an order, and the spearmen of the first team climbed over the wall of the van with the platoon guns of the Ming army, and then jumped into the ditch like dumplings.

Xia Longshan also sprouted a glimmer of hope.

In the attack just now, the musketeer's shot was separated from the spearman's attack, but this time, the spearman's attack was covered by the musketeer's firepower, so it might work.

However, one of Xia Longshan's thoughts was not finished yet,
The first row of spearmen who jumped into the trench wailed tragically.

When Xia Longshan and Wu Yingqi looked out anxiously, they saw that most of the nearly [-] spearmen of the first team had fallen to the ground in the trench, and they were holding their feet and crying.

"This is the terrier rope!"

"The thief who enters the mother is connected with the thorns."

Tribulus terrestris is a kind of defensive weapon.

As the name suggests, it is a barbed wire strung together with a rope.

There are six thorns connected to each string, one every one foot, and the total length is five feet.

When in use, you only need to throw the tribulus rope on the ground, and it is very convenient to put it away.

Wu Yingqi stared at Xia Longshan, his eyes almost burst into flames: "Uncle, didn't you say that there are no barbed wire in the trench?"

"This, that, I don't know." Xia Longshan was a little at a loss, "But it really didn't happen just now. My people also went down just now, so they didn't step on the barbed wire."

"Damn it!" Wu Yingqi cursed.

Then he yelled at the Guan Ning army in the trench: "What are you crying for? Isn't it just that the soles of your feet have been pierced by barbed thorns? If you still want to live, quickly remove the thorns!"

"Yes, clear away the thorns!" Xia Longshan also roared angrily.

The Guan Ning army underneath woke up like a dream, struggling to clear away the thorn rope.

Soon, the spearman of the second captain of the Guanning Army also jumped into the trench, this time unscathed.

"Kill!" The commanders of Guan Ning's army roared, throwing off their strides and rushing towards the blunderbuss platform in front of them.

However, after rushing forward a few steps, there was a scream of "咻" and "咻" in the trench, and then rows of arrows shot from the bottom of the opposite ditch.

This row of arrows is as dense as migratory locusts.

Nearly two hundred spearmen were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Yefu Gengge!" Wu Yingqi's lungs were about to explode, "This is Yefu Gengge!"

Those who are lurking at night, have a crossbow machine, use light arrows to dye grass and black poison, and tie them with thread at thirty paces, descending across the road, piled up grass to hide their shape, touch the thread and shoot the arrow, fearing harm to themselves. People must block the main road.

"Who is the bastard on the other side? How can he be so shameless?"

"What's the use of night ambush in broad daylight? This is not an intersection!"

"I'm going to kill you, mother-in-law, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, ah!"

Wu Yingqi's mentality has collapsed. He has never seen such a shameless person when he grows up.

"Eldest nephew, calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive!" Xia Longshan was too late to dissuade him.

Wu Yingqi had already personally led the third spearman into the ditch, and rushed forward screaming.

"Eldest nephew, be careful, be careful! The guy opposite is too cunning, you must be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yingqi, who had just rushed to the middle of the [-]-step-wide ditch, suddenly flew up.

Wu Yingqi didn't fly up by himself, but was blown into the air by a landmine, because at the same time Wu Yingqi was flying up, a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed from the ground under his feet.

Then there was a loud explosion.

Then there are continuous violent explosions.

The Ming army actually buried a large number of mines in the trenches in advance.

The spearmen following Wu Yingqi were blown up one after another.

Many spearmen even had their soles blown to pieces and turned into flesh.

"Eldest nephew? Eldest nephew?!" Xia Longshan called repeatedly into the trench.

Then Wu Yingqi didn't respond, and his body didn't move at all.

"Boom!" Xia Longshan suddenly heard a violent sound of gold and iron clashing, and then he couldn't help but suddenly tilted his head back, and then fell headlong from the van.

"General!" Several soldiers rushed forward and helped Xia Longshan up.

Xia Longshan was still dazed, his eyes lost focus.

Somewhat dumbly, he untied the leather belt and took off the bowl, only to see a dent on the front.

There was also a piece of lead embedded in the middle of the pit, and the lead had been completely deformed, almost piercing through his bowl.

"General, you are really lucky." A soldier said, "This lead almost pierced your bowl."

Xia Longshan's eyes rolled, and suddenly his soul returned to his body, and then he jumped up and shouted sharply: "The order, the whole battalion retreats, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

Xia Longshan's mentality has completely collapsed.

He didn't want to stay here for even a moment.

I have never met such an opponent in half my life.

At present, Xia Longshan didn't even want a van, and fled back with the remnants of the defeated general.

It's just that the two battalions of the four thousand Guanning troops that had attacked before retreated to less than two thousand. The rest were either killed by the Ming army, or were seriously injured and lay wailing in the trench.

……

On the watchtower of Dagukou.

Yan Yingyuan put down his binoculars, poked his head out and said to the messenger: "Let the Zuoying seize the time to collect the corpses of the Green Camp in the trench, catch the wounded soldiers and send them to the rear battalion for treatment along with the Zuoying wounded."

"And then rearrange the night burrowing guns, briar strings, and landmines."

"Yes." The messenger agreed, and immediately signaled forward.

Chen Mingyu was a little puzzled: "Yuheng, why do you want to treat the wounded soldiers in the green battalion?"

"This is the will of the Holy Majesty." Yan Yingyuan said solemnly, "The Majesty once said that population is the most precious resource. Even if war is inevitable, China's vitality should be preserved as much as possible."

"Not to mention the wounded soldiers of the green battalion, even the wounded soldiers of Jiannu need to be treated."

After a pause, he went on to say: "As the saying goes, if Di Yi enters China, China will live. As long as Jiannu and wounded soldiers can be returned to China after being rescued, it is worthwhile to do so. For many things, killing alone may not be the best solution. "

Chen Mingyu sighed and said: "Your Majesty is truly a benevolent king through the ages with such a heart."

"That is." Yan Yingyuan said solemnly, "From ancient times to the present, the benevolence and righteousness of many kings are only on the surface, but the benevolence and righteousness of today's sages are the benevolence and righteousness that shines from the bones. This is the emperor who really puts the people first!"

"The Ming Dynasty has such a benevolent emperor, the world is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate."
