I'm a big dick

Chapter 277

And this kind of tactics of two stepped trenches is tantamount to increasing the density of firepower out of thin air. The musket fire in the two trenches can ensure the continuity of firepower, which can be described as quite reasonable and efficient configuration.

The grenadier fired again, and Hong Tianlei flew through the air like it didn't want money, smashing into the enemy's ranks.

Every time there was a loud explosion, a large cloud of smoke could be seen blooming in the crowd accompanied by bright light, and scattered things mixed with snow and frozen soil rose into the air, setting off a burst of screams and wailing.

This simple and easy-to-make weapon with the power of explosive bombs was launched very quickly, and it caused great damage and shock to Jiannu.

Every thunderbolt fell to the ground and rolled, emitting a trace of green smoke. Even the brave Jiannu was unavoidably frightened and evaded in a hurry.

Lying down on the spot should be the best way, but that is the attack of the sparse skirmishers of later generations.In a relatively dense charge formation, falling down means being trampled, and you may never have a chance to stand up again.

The front is light and the rear is heavy, and the muskets behind the two fortifications spit out flames one after another, and thicker white smoke rises.Occasionally, there are shotgun bombardments from Francophones and tiger squat guns, and the firepower is both dense and fierce.

Armored soldiers were constantly knocked down to the ground, and some of them would not die for a while, struggling painfully in the cold and hard snow, making inhuman screams, adding to the bloody atmosphere on the battlefield.

In front of the piles, corpses were lying all over the place.In the bloody mess, the death patterns were different and extremely miserable.

Relying on carts, planks, and even axes, hook ladders, and shields, Jiannu paid a heavy price, finally opened the passage, and rushed to the last blocked ditch.

When facing the flames spouting from the parapet and the countless lead bullets flying in front of him, Jiannu's attack was stopped immediately.

"Push the car into the ditch, push it in!" Dege howled loudly. This may be the fastest way to fill the ditch, and the last ditch is not too wide.

A dark cloud rose from behind the formation. It was Jiannu's archers, shooting hard, hoping to kill more Ming troops and provide cover for their own troops.

If you push harder, you will be able to hit under the city wall.

Looking at Ningyuan City less than 50 meters away, Dege seems to see hope.Having paid so many deaths and injuries, if you can't even touch the city wall, wouldn't it be the biggest failure?

Moreover, the Dege class also knew that attacking Ningyuan would inevitably require a lot of casualties.

It was either a strong attack or a siege, but for the Hou Jin army, there was only the first choice.

Because their supply line is hundreds of miles long, and Ningyuan has plenty of supplies, if it is besieged for a long time, the Houjin Army will not have the logistical capabilities, and it will be dragged down first.

The firepower on the Ming army's position became more intense. Due to the advance of the Jin army, even the Ming army's muskets and artillery on the side also had the opportunity to support operations.

At the breach with a width of 60 meters, but withstood the firepower from the front and side of the [-]-meter front, the casualties of Jiannu suddenly increased.

The screams became more intensive and piercing, and Dege yelled and cursed loudly, ordering the armored soldiers to use shields to strengthen their protection.But even he could see that the effect was not very good.

A heavy lead bullet hit the shield. Although it failed to penetrate, the huge impact force slammed the shield back and hit the shield soldier heavily in the face.

With surging nosebleeds, the armor soldier's arm holding the shield was also broken, but when he fell backwards, he was already unconscious.

A Pashiku bravely stepped forward, but two lead bullets were fired one after another, and one hit him obliquely on the shoulder.Like being hit by a heavy hammer, this guy was whirling and was knocked into the air, and the bones and tendons of his entire shoulder were broken, and he was useless even if he was not dead.

Boom, boom, boom... The large and small artillery on the lower and lower walls of the city fired violently, smashing the shells at the protective line formed by the shield-bearing heavy armored soldiers.

The power of the cannonballs was much greater than that of the bullets. When one hit it, the shield was broken like paper, and the armored soldiers behind were also blown up like dolls.

broken!Hearing the dense roar of cannons, Dege immediately fell into an ice cave, and his heart sank into a bottomless abyss.

This is the defect of the main attack side. The defenders can mobilize their troops and weapons to defend with all their strength; but to besiege from all sides, how many chariots are needed to cover and how many coats are needed to fill the trenches are simply beyond the ability of Jiannu.

Obviously, the Ming army in Ningyuan had mobilized a large number of artillery pieces, arranged them above and below the city, and prepared the battlefield for bloody slaughter, waiting for their own army to rush to the last trench.

Although this is not considered far-sighted or wise, because Jiannu's attack point is so clear, which is the southwest corner.

And one or two days is enough to adjust the strength and weapons, and give the enemy a massacre in a timely manner.

It can only be blamed for the slow speed of the attack, it can only be blamed for underestimating the number and power of the Ming army's firearms, and it can only be blamed for the inaccurate intelligence information of its own side, which can even be said to be very scarce.

Big and small cannonballs flew here and there, bouncing and colliding; Thunderbolt flew in the air and exploded on the ground.The protective line formed by the chariots and shields was smashed to pieces in an instant, and countless armored soldiers lost their lives in the shelling.

A roar erupted, thick white smoke rose from the parapet fortifications, countless lead bullets shot head-on, bloody arrows splashed, screams and wailing, the unprotected Jianu suffered an unusually heavy blow.

The roar continued, and the Ming army musketeers behind the two fortifications quickly took turns firing, raining large and small lead bullets on the chaotic enemies.

Under the fierce and continuous blows, Jianu was already in a mess, but Mangurtai behind him seemed not to see clearly, or hadn't reacted yet, and did not issue an order.

You can't retreat without an order, Dege can't turn around and run away, and you can't let Fifth Brother be embarrassed about how to deal with him and other defeated soldiers.

But already here, so many people have been killed and injured, and if they retreat, all previous efforts will be wasted.Maybe if you charge again, you will be able to enter the enemy's position, start a melee hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and win.

De Gelei felt that he had guessed his brother's intentions, summoned up his courage, shouted to command, and urged the chaotic army to continue to attack despite the artillery fire.

A canopy of heavy lead bullets roared in with an invincible momentum, and bombarded the Dege class obliquely.Obviously, the Ming army also noticed this yelling Jiannu leader.

And Jiannu suffered a lot of casualties, and gradually slipped out of the shooting range of sniping Dege, even though there are still soldiers around him.

Dege class was still wondering why the officers suffered so many casualties, the answer came to him now, but it was too late for him to understand.

The sniper attack at Lushun Fort killed Zhai Sanggu; ancient warfare also paid attention to capturing thieves and kings, and directly hitting the leader.

Organizing a sniper team of five or six people, specializing in attacking officers and leaders, became a tactic used by the Ming army's heavy guns.
