Chapter 195 Attacking Lushun Fort Again

The sun was hotly hanging in the sky, and what rose from the ground was not only the mist that distorted the sight, but also the smell of blood mixed in it.

A shield chariot slowly approached the Ming army's position from the east, like ugly little monsters. After two days, Jiannu started to attack Lushun again.

After the first attack suffered heavy casualties, and even Zaisangu was beaten to death on the spot, Jierhalang tried his best to persuade the furious Amin and did not continue to attack.

Five Niulu lost nearly a thousand people, three Niulu Ezhen were killed in battle, and the Han army also suffered similar casualties. This has already reduced the Jin army by nearly one-fifth of the invading Jin army.

Moreover, the changes in the Ming army's tactics are even more shocking.

Even Amin, who had calmed down, had to admit that if he wanted to defeat the enemy and break through the enemy's immoral positions, he would definitely not be able to do so if he didn't prepare well and adjust his style of play.

Therefore, Jiannu had to spend two days cutting wood to make equipment.As for the shield car, which is the most commonly used attacking equipment for Jianshou, it is natural that there will be no shortage of it.

Many people's impression of Jiannu seems to be riding and shooting, but they don't know much about the shield chariot that Jiannu relies on most.

In fact, Jiannu's two major killers in the early days were shield chariots and heavy armored infantry.Whenever Jiannu encountered a strong enemy, he would usually sacrifice these two magic weapons.

Especially during the Liaoshen War, when Jiannu fought bloody battles with the Baigan soldiers and the Qi family army, and suffered heavy losses, the old slave also ordered: "If you encounter an enemy without a shielded chariot, do not fight."

That is to say, not only are shield chariots used in sieges, Jiannu often use them as a means of winning in field battles.

And Amin, Zaisangu, and Jierhalang had already been convicted when they first arrived in Lushun and launched an attack without a shield vehicle.

If you win in one fell swoop, you don't need to say anything, but if you lose, there is no doubt that the two will be severely punished.

Therefore, for today's attack, Amin and Jierharang personally supervised the formation, hoping to win in one fell swoop, to make up for their sins, and to avenge their brothers.

It's just that the hastily built shield car has many deficiencies in protection.Moreover, the cotton armor and iron armor that Jiannu used to resist the Ming army's weapons are not very effective now.

Why it was useful before, the reason is also very simple.Because most of the firearms equipped by the Ming army were sharp guns, fast guns, and three-eyed guns, which were not powerful enough.

The bird's gun is more powerful, but the charge is less, so that "there is a lot of bright light and heavy armor, but the short bird's gun can't penetrate... It is necessary to rectify the work and urgently build a large bird's gun, which can penetrate the iron armor."

boom!Under the watchful eyes of Amin and Jierhalang, a puff of fireworks rose from the Ming army's position, and a solid artillery shell weighing several kilograms hit over.

The cannonball drew a low and flat trajectory at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hit a shield car, immediately piercing through the crude shield car shield, and smashed and splashed a lot of splinters, shooting like flying.

The two Han soldiers pushing the cart screamed, covered their faces and fell to the ground.

boom!Another bombardment, the shell missed the shield chariot, but flew between the two chariots, causing a wave of flesh and blood to fly in the formation of slaves behind the chariot, followed by screams and wailing.

The solid shell has a long range. If it is on a hard ground, it can penetrate a group of soldiers during the bounce, and it is the best weapon to deal with shield vehicles.

However, the Dongjiang Army is not equipped with many artillery, and they are all old models, such as Frang machine and tiger squatting gun.

As for the real field guns, the Weapons Bureau of the capital had just begun to cast them. They were divided into two types: five catties (six pounds) and ten catties (twelve pounds).

Jiannu used the shield chariot as a cover, and with the sparse artillery of the Ming army, he slowly approached the wide trench that once made their comrades bleed like rivers.

At this time, the two medium-sized Francophones on the ground suddenly let out a roar, amidst the flickering flames and rising white smoke,

The shells kept coming, and they actually fired a beautiful continuous bombardment.

Several shield chariots were destroyed, countless pieces of wood and debris flew up, and some shot at the Jiannu behind the chariots.

Arrows rose from behind the shield chariot, flying towards the Ming army's position in a black mass.

"Shield up! Cover up!" shouted the officer, and the musketeers pressed their bodies against the parapet, while the sword and shield hands raised their shields to cover themselves and the grenadier-launching soldiers.

The arrows thrown had a certain arc, which could not pose a threat to the soldiers of the Ming army behind the parapet.And in the trenches, even if you squat down to hide, you can easily avoid the bows and arrows of Jiannu.

The shield chariot was blocked in front of the trench, and Jiannu's advance came to an end.

The launcher knocked on the iron hook, and a bomb grenadier raised its wooden throwing arm, and the black shock thunder flew across the sky with a little spark, flew over the trench, crossed the shield car, and smashed into the queue of Jiannu among.

A few seconds passed, loud bangs erupted one after another, bright lights burst out one after another, and black smoke rose one after another.

The vision became blurred in the smoke and fire, but in the eyes of Amin and Jierhalang, they could still see the fireworks rising, the soldiers screaming and wailing, and blood spattered and rolled under the lasing of shrapnel.

The arrows in the air suddenly became sparse. Although the Jiannu behind the shield car could block the fire of the muskets and the direct bombardment of the artillery, the volley bombing still plunged them into chaos.

Amin and Jierharang looked at each other, and frowned tightly.

The changes in the Ming army's tactics and weapons and equipment made the two feel at a loss and even more frightened.

Obviously, the disastrous defeat of the first attack did not fully test the true combat power and style of play of the Ming army.

Take this kind of projectile weapon that explodes on the ground as an example.In terms of shooting range, it was still underestimated by Amin, Jierhalang, and Jiannu officers and soldiers.

To put it bluntly, in the first tentative attack, the Ming army had some concealment and reservations.And the design of this wide but not deep trench is not so simple in terms of distance.

In the wide trench, there are messy obstacles, it will be difficult for the shield vehicle to advance, and the impact of the heavy armored infantry will also be slowed down.

Amin hesitated, and bit his lip, wondering if he should give the order to charge and attack.

Boom, boom, boom...

On the Ming army's position, several cannons that had been cooled down and reloaded fired again, bombarding Jiannu's shield chariot.

In the flying sawdust, the protection made up of the shield vehicles was no longer complete, and the casualties and confusion caused by the bombing also slowed down the speed of the shield vehicles moving forward to fill up.

The ten eagle guns fired a volley, and the lead bullets shot into the Jiannu queue through the gap. Their heads were blown away and their arms were broken. The heavy armored infantry was vulnerable to a blow amidst the blood and flesh flying across.

The horn whimpered, and Amin finally gave the order to attack.

Hesitating in front of the trench can only pay casualties in vain.The heavy armored infantry should be used to fight across the trenches before the shield vehicles are all destroyed.

Under the roaring and organization of the officers, clusters of bows and arrows poured crazily towards the Ming army's position. The Han army in heavy armor shouted and rushed over the shield chariot, jumped into the half-man deep wide trench, and rushed towards the Ming army's position. come.

That's right, the shouts are mixed with fear. They are the cannon fodder for the front, consuming the gunpowder and bullets of the Ming army, and creating better attack opportunities for the Jiannu behind.

Bypassing the additional obstacles in the wide trench, the Han army moved forward, rushed through the trench, jumped onto the edge of the trench, and there were only the wooden stakes of the deer village tens of meters away in front of them.

The muskets sounded like popping beans, and the continuous shooting row after row made the smoke more and more dense. The thick gunpowder smoke soon covered the front of the position, swallowing all people and things.

Amin narrowed his eyes, exchanged glances with Jierharang, and nodded in unison.

The sound of the horn changed, resounding like wolves crying and howling ghosts, resounding across the battlefield.

This is not an order to retreat, but another violent attack, just to the east, a counterattack deliberately hidden by Jiannu.

That's right, Amin and Jierhalang not only built a shield car, but also formulated a more careful and insidious attack plan.

In their view, their own forces must be more than the Ming army.But if you attack from all sides at the same time, you will use your troops evenly, and it is difficult to form a sharp edge to break through the formation.

Therefore, while encircling Fort Lushun on all sides, they chose to feign a fierce attack on one side, attracting most of the defenders' strength, and then rush in with a lightning-fast attack on the other side, which is more likely to succeed.

In order to achieve this effect, Amin and Jierharang not only personally came to the feint attack surface to command, but also transferred all the shield vehicles over, and put on a posture of a fierce attack.

On the other side, 2000 troops have moved quietly behind the siege troops, waiting for an order from here.

But Amin and others overlooked one point, that is the wooden watchtower erected high in Lushun Fort.

If it's just an ordinary watchtower, it's nothing, and they don't know that the officers on the watchtower hold binoculars instead of relying on human eyesight to observe the military situation.

When he heard the order, Jiala Ezhen Moxile, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, got on his horse, howled like a wolf, and led two thousand elite soldiers in heavy armor to gallop across the passage made by the troops in front, and rushed straight to the Wide trench in front.

Jiannu dismounted one after another, without hesitation, raised their shields and swung their knives, and jumped down the wide ditch.With ferocious faces, they rushed towards the Ming army's position, shouting loudly.

Hundreds of Jiannu immediately shot a rain of arrows towards the Ming army's position, jumped off their horses and put on strong bows, and shot straight ahead.

If they want to succeed, Amin and others think it is a fast word.Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army was attracted by the feint attack, most of them would send reinforcements to catch the Ming army by surprise.

Learning warfare in war is not only the task of the new army equipped with a large number of matchlock guns and grenadiers, and digs a lot of civil engineering, but also the construction of slaves.

With a wide front, a slightly sparse offensive formation, and a shield with heavy armor for protection, Jianu has learned his lesson.In other words, the heavy casualties forced them to change.

But what stood in front of them were deer villages, wooden stakes, and the Lumi blunderbuss, which were more powerful than bird blunderbusses?
When the dense explosions and muskets sounded, even Amin and Jierhalang, who were far away on the other side, looked at each other pale.

This - is more violent than the counterattack from this side? !
