Under the cover of the shield car, the armored soldiers from the front team quickly arrived at the camp set up by the rogue bandits at the foot of the mountain.
Just as he approached the camp, Chen Gong could already smell the unpleasant smell of blood in the air.
No one was seen on the camp wall, and no sound was heard.
The crash car that followed the shield car and was used to attack the stronghold was pushed to the gate of the stronghold without any obstruction.
The huge banging wood hit the wooden village gate hard, making loud noises.
There were only five noises in total, and the wooden gate of the rogue camp was already in pieces.
A group of soldiers wearing heavy armor stood on both sides of the crash car and followed the crash car and took another step forward. Their expressions were calm and their eyes were indifferent.
The comrades who had climbed onto the village wall first had told them the actual situation. The entire foothill camp had been abandoned by the rogue bandits.
Passing through the village gate, they could also see the bandits with their backs turned to them, fleeing in embarrassment along the mountain road.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!!!"
The huge roar sounded again.
Chen Gong, who had just passed through the village gate, felt his ears buzzing uncontrollably. He turned around and looked not far behind him, only to see several more puffs of smoke rising from the formation.
The cannon in the army, which had just been silent for a while, roared again.
Amidst the deafening sound of the cannon, the huge projectile flew nearly a mile away and slammed into the camp of the rogue bandits on the mountainside and top of the mountain under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"First shot."
Chen Gong turned his head and muttered something in a low voice, then raised his right hand and made it into a fist.
The messenger behind him understood the military order and immediately blew the bugle call to stop the march.
All the armored soldiers stopped one after another, sitting or standing to take advantage of all this time to rest.
According to the scheduled plan, the eight cannons will fire four more rounds of bombardment to establish a greater advantage for them. Now is their rest time.
For fear of accidentally injuring the friendly troops in the camp at the foot of the mountain, the eight cannons in the artillery position at the foot of the mountain raised the elevation angle of the artillery shells much higher. Therefore, many artillery shells landed in the camp of the rogues on the top of the mountain instead of the camp on the mountainside.
A group of vanguard armored soldiers were resting, but the light soldiers behind them had no time to rest.
A group of light soldiers who followed behind, led by their respective military academies, quickly entered the original camp of the bandits and began to build defensive fortifications.
One after another, squatting tiger cannons and Fran machines were set up, and one after another light soldiers walked to the position of defense.
Later, when the golden armor soldiers charge into battle, they often bring a large number of light soldiers. The duty of these light soldiers is to provide assistance to the armor soldiers and expand the advantage of the battle.
During the siege, they also shouldered the responsibility of quickly building new positions to prevent the enemy from recapturing them again.
The military commander leading these light soldiers is Hu Zhili. The senior officers in the new barracks are all servants of Cao Wenzhao who came with them. Therefore, although Hu Zhili is nominally the general of the new barracks, he has to personally Lead the troops into battle.
About a quarter of an hour later, the artillery fire at the foot of the mountain finally stopped firing.
Chen Gong slowly stood up, and all the armored soldiers also stood up one after another, without any delay.
The swan sound of the army sounded again, and more than 30 shield cars were in front of the car, one after another, and slowly drove forward along the mountain road.
Chen Gong was breathing steadily, holding the long-tip bow in his hand, and silently counting the steps in his mind. He nodded and carefully observed the rogue camp not far ahead.
As the distance continued to approach, Chen Gong's heart gradually grew stronger. He could already see a group of bandits running back and forth on the wall of the village, and he could also see the black muzzles of the cannons.
What awaited them this time was no longer an empty camp.
The four rounds of artillery fire from the foot of the mountain failed to defeat the rogue bandits guarding the camp this time. These rogue bandits were still capable of fighting.
"hide!"
Chen Gong's whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, his hairs stood on end, his mouth and tongue were numb, and he only had time to say a hidden word.
A group of armored soldiers had already hidden themselves behind the shield car. After hearing the word "hide", they subconsciously moved closer to the side of the shield car.
Chen Gong lowered his head and hid behind the shield car. Before he could think about it, a huge explosion suddenly swept over him.
Chen Gong saw the shield cart in front of him shake suddenly, as if someone was hitting it hard with a heavy hammer.
The complexion of the armored soldier pushing the shield cart changed obviously, and his body unconsciously leaned back a little.
Chen Gong raised his head slightly. He did not stick his head out of the observation car, but looked at the sky in front of him.
In the sky, Chen Gong saw a large amount of white smoke rising, followed by an explosion like fried beans in his ears.
Along with the sound of frying beans, there were bursts of sharp sounds breaking through the air.
The sound of breaking through the air was sandwiched among the explosions, making it extremely inconspicuous, but Chen Gong still keenly captured the different sound.
The sound of frying beans is the sound of firecrackers, the popping sound is the sound of Franchise or Crouching Tiger Cannon, and the sound of breaking through the air is the sound of bows and arrows.
At this time, Chen Gong no longer had any hesitation or hesitation on his face, and he had completely calmed down.
On the battlefield, those who cannot keep calm will not survive a long battle.
Chen Gong clasped his bow string and cocked an arrow, carefully listening for the sound in his ears.
On such a battlefield, behind a shield chariot, one can only rely on experience to judge when to draw a bow and when to release an arrow. This is the case for those Houjin soldiers.
Chen Gong didn't wait long. The sound of guns and cannons in his ears had already dissipated. Although the Franco machine fired quickly, the bandits had no fixed place and they didn't have many guns for them to squander.
However, within a few breaths, the sound of cannons and cannons had obviously gradually subsided.
Chen Gong did not hesitate, he exerted force with both hands, and the long-tip bow in his hands was pulled to the full moon in an instant.
As servants, they all have two bows, one is the Kaiyuan bow, which is often called a soft bow, and is used for riding on horses.
The other bow is a long-tip bow, which is the same as the bow used by the Hou Jin soldiers. It is a hard bow, used in infantry combat. The hard bow has heavy arrows and is used to break armor.
While the shield chariot was still moving forward, Chen Gong stopped, clamped the arrow tail in the tiger's mouth, clasped the bow string with his right thumb wearing a leopard bone puller (finger puller), and pressed his index finger and middle finger on his thumb.
The traditional Chinese method of clasping the string and opening the bow is different from the European method of pulling the string with the index finger and middle finger. Instead, the thumb is put on a hoe, which is also known as cardboard in later generations, and the bow string is opened with the thumb finger.
The shield car moved forward a little again, and Chen Gong also found the target. A man wearing a frontier armor and a high-top helmet who looked like a general was standing next to a Franco machine gun. He was drinking something loudly.
All the surrounding armored soldiers clasped their bowstrings, nocked arrows, and began to slowly pull the bowstrings.
The bow string was pulled apart, and the bamboo body of the bow kept making creaking sounds.
Without any hesitation, Chen Gong suddenly released his finger on the string.
The bow string draws along the smooth surface of the leopard bone, and the energy accumulated in the bamboo body is instantly released on the arrow tail.
The frightening sound of bow strings vibrating suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
The heavy arrow was pushed by the bowstring, and the arrow shaft made of birch was slightly twisted in the air due to the huge force. The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and it spread throughout the entire shield car formation in just an instant.
Only forty steps away was the fish-scale iron armor worn by the Ming army generals. At close range, there was no way to withstand the powerful long-tip skill firing heavy arrows with armor-piercing cones, not to mention the armor-piercing armor worn by ordinary Ming army soldiers. Cloth armor.
The rogue military academy who was shouting something seemed to have something in mind. He glanced outside the stronghold and made evasive movements.
But the arrow shot by Chen Gong was as fast as a meteor chasing the moon. The rogue military academy only had time to move a little before an arrow penetrated his chest and he fell to the ground on the spot.
The military academy died in battle, and that section of the village wall instantly became panicked.
On the battlefield, the role of the military academy is also an important factor in determining victory or defeat.
Just after Chen Gong shot an arrow, a group of Liao riders behind the shield chariot also shot the arrows in their hands.
The sound of bow strings vibrating was continuous, echoing in everyone's ears.
One after another, arrows were shot out from behind or on both sides of the shield car, followed by screams one after another.
"Push the cart and attack the stronghold!!!"
Chen Gong shot another arrow and issued a new military order with an angry roar.
Military orders issued on the battlefield are never too lengthy, and can be as concise as possible.
When an army suddenly encounters a large number of casualties, morale will inevitably be greatly affected.
And if there are more casualties in the military academy, then this army will most likely collapse.
Today's rogues are like this. The armored soldiers behind the shield chariots are all carefully selected. The selected people are all good soldiers in the army, and their archery skills are even better than those of the Mongols.
The Ming army had been fighting with the Mongols for many years. Compared with archery and riding skills, the border troops in the north were really not that far behind.
A large number of military academies died in the battle. Without the command of the military academies and the armored soldiers to supervise the battle, both the archers and gunmen on the wall and the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers behind the wall were all panicked.
Under various circumstances, the Ming army's car crashed and was already pushed to the second gate of the village.
"Bang!!"
A huge roar suddenly sounded.
Under the cover of bows and arrows, the light soldiers of the Ming army attacked the second camp wall to the beat of rapid drums.
Among the light soldiers of the Ming army, there were also many Ming soldiers wearing heavy armor mixed in. They acted as sharp knives.
One ladder after another hooked the low camp wall. As the Ming army's light soldiers continued to pour into the camp, the second line of defense set up by the rogue bandits also officially collapsed.
The collision also opened the gate of the second camp, and Ming soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sharp swords poured into the camp.
Many of the rogue bandits guarding the village gate were armed with wooden spears and farm tools. They couldn't even break armor, so how could they stop the Ming army from advancing.
I recommended two books by friends. They gave me chapter recommendations during the new book issue. I pushed back. Both authors are the authors of high-quality books, and their quality and updates are guaranteed.
The first book is "The Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms"
At the beginning, Cao Cao massacred and tried hard to persuade the tribesmen to migrate, but in the end his relatives were inevitably in trouble.
With Liu Bei's help, he barely escaped with his life.
Since then.
A fifteen-year-old boy raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted, "I will never stand against Cao Cao!"
The second book is "Mihan"
In the rainy season of the 24th year of Jian'an, Guan Yu flooded the seven armies of Cao and Wei, captured Cao Wei's general Jin and Pang De alive, and surrounded Cao Ren in Fancheng, which shocked China.
At this time, King Cao Cao of Wei was frightened and wanted to return Xu and move the emperor away. At this time, people in the world who cherished the Han Dynasty thought that the revival of the Han Dynasty was in sight.
At this time, Sun Quan, who was jealous of Liu Bei, was brewing a conspiracy against Guan Yu. At this moment, the soul of a person from later generations passed through Jiangling City and became Mi Fang's only son.
Fight or surrender?
The general trend of the world has changed as a result.
