A certain prince knew the power of the braided armored soldiers. During hand-to-hand combat, these armored soldiers started working like miniature bulldozers one by one, and the Ming army simply could not resist them.
That's why mortars and grenades were created, which were particularly effective against the charge of the braided infantry brigade in a dense formation. After all, nothing could withstand the hundreds of thousands of rapidly flying iron beads.
One grenade contains 500 iron beads, and 100 grenades contain 50,000 iron beads. One of them can get into the foot of a braided armored soldier and turn him into a cripple instantly.
Hearing the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, and seeing the Tatar army rushing towards the Japanese positions, everyone in the mortar battalion was amazed. There are really guys who are not afraid of death these days!
Even they themselves are afraid of the weapons they are equipped with. If it falls into a crowd of people, the explosion scene will definitely be terrible.
However, the Dog Tartars did not believe in this evil and had to give it a try again. Seeing the huge force surging on the opposite side made everyone's hearts tremble.
The way to build up courage is very simple, that is to feed the fearless dog Tartars with two volleys first, so that they are full, and then walk away if they can't eat!
The Ming army and the Japanese army had a clear division of labor. The former was responsible for long-distance warfare, that is, fire support. The latter is responsible for blocking the enemy's advance, and when necessary, will engage in hand-to-hand combat with the oncoming Qing troops.
Luo San would not sit back and watch these dog Tatars rush to the Japanese army's position. In that case, his troops would also be seriously threatened.
Although the artillery unit's hand-to-hand combat capabilities are not low, and they are all wearing new armor, equipped with flintlock guns and can be equipped with bayonets, they are not very confident against the Eight Banners soldiers.
Therefore, Luo San decided to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and use mortars as much as possible to attack the dog Tatars. It would be best to let them die on this ridge.
This is what the prince means. If you can win, then fight. If you can't, then retreat. You must not underestimate the enemy and show off your talents. If you lose precious artillery, you will be beaten to the end when you return.
Now he can get forty taels of silver every month, and when he comes to the Liaodong battlefield, there will be additional subsidies. If there are gains, he can also be cashed in. Luo Sancai is reluctant to part with this promising job.
Looking at the charge on the opposite side, the momentum was very fierce. If it was not stopped in advance, it would be a question whether the Japanese army could withstand it. The mortar battalion immediately entered the firing state.
"put!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Luo San's men all thought the same way, and they would naturally be much more efficient in their work. Being able to see the Dog Tartars being bombarded by one's own side was a great joy, and it was even more flattering to return to the capital station. .
Sixty or seventy grenades immediately landed on the opposite ridge line, turning the area that was already full of Qing soldiers into a sea of fire.
The fireballs produced by the explosion continued for no less than a hundred steps, turning the area near the explosion point into hot, scorched earth without any vegetation. No one could completely avoid the splashing attack of tens of thousands of iron beads.
The coated Ahabs without the protection of cotton armor are the most miserable. As long as an iron ball hits their bodies, they can cause extremely serious injuries.
As no less than ten grenades fell into the crowd of coated soldiers rushing in front, the explosion directly caused the Qing army to lose almost one-fifth of the coated troops.
"Whoever dares to take a step back will be shot to death!"
Zhengbai Banner Ang Bang Zhangjing Ashan will not care how many coated aha are lost, even if they are all dead, they will capture the opposite mountain top.
Otherwise, thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were killed and wounded in one day, and they paid such a heavy price but were still unable to defeat Goumanzi's position. How could he explain to Prince Yu and Prince Rui when he returned?
This style of play is to use the lives of the Baoji soldiers to pave the way, so that the Eight Banners soldiers have the opportunity to get close to the mountain top of Goumanzi, and then take advantage of melee combat.
It's just that the dog barbarian must have used a trebuchet again, throwing the package that was larger than a mallet, causing considerable casualties to his side.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred armored soldiers, equivalent to more than half a cow, fell to the ground. This kind of firearm is so powerful that when the army conquers this mountain, they must all be captured and presented to Prince Rui.
Ah Shan thought well, but the actual situation was still far from what he wanted. Before they could reach the top of the opposite hill, his troops lost nearly a thousand coats of clothing and about 500 armored soldiers.
"Give it all to me..."
E-shuo of Baya Lajia, Jingjing of Zhengbai Banner, was urging the soldiers around him to rush forward and kill. Unexpectedly, an iron ball hit him right between his eyebrows.
Es Shuo suddenly felt his forehead heat up. Soon he knew he had been shot in the face and still wanted to struggle, but he lost consciousness. His vision went dark and he fell to the ground on his back.
"Master! Master!"
Bagala's soldiers on both sides hurriedly helped him, but there was no answer even after calling twice. Looking at E Shuo, his eyes were wide open, he had no air intake, and he could not rest in peace.
Although the superficial wound was very small, no bigger than a soybean, a hole the size of a grape grain had actually been blasted out of Es Shuo's brain.
Es Shuo never thought that his life could be ended by a small iron bead, but today such a strange thing did happen.
Just two months ago, E Shuo personally hacked to death two barbarians outside Ningyuan, and led his troops to capture more than ten woodcutters.
Wu Sangui, the guard general of Ningyuan who was known as "Zhao Zilong of the Ming Dynasty", had no choice but to stay in the wall and huddled in the city with his troops. He was in panic all day long. With such a sloppy guard, what prospects did Ming Ming have?
In Es Shuo's view, it would be better for the dog emperor Chongzhen and the ten-year-old dog prince to give up the throne directly. After the Qing emperor came to the world, he might be able to pardon the dog father and son, otherwise they would surely die without mercy. Whole corpse!
Since joining the army with Emperor Taizu, E-Shuo has fought dozens of times, killed hundreds of lowly barbarians, and killed more than ten female barbarians, several of whom were married women.
Killing their men and then playing with the dead women is really the most comfortable enjoyment, full of a powerful sense of conquest.
Dog barbarians can only be used for farming and are not worthy of having women. That thief in Chongzhen is full of misdeeds, and he is not worthy of owning thousands of miles of land in the pass. Sooner or later, this world belongs to the Qing Emperor, and it must be so.
E Shuo felt that he had not had enough fun before and wanted to continue killing and playing. It would be best to break into the customs with the current emperor and become a hero of the Qing Dynasty. It's just that God didn't give him this chance, and he couldn't wait for that day to come.
He didn't even have a chance to be carried to the rear for treatment by the soldiers. Just like many wrapped Aha, he died on the battlefield. The cannonballs of Man Ming killed them all regardless of high or low!
A lot of money!
Rare curio!
Calligraphy and painting by famous artists!
Beautiful woman!
Nice house!
These have nothing to do with Eshuo! 61 library
To die is to die!
There might be maggots after a while...
"Kill all the barbarians!"
Seeing that their master had passed away, a group of Bajala's soldiers who relied on E Shuo to support them immediately became furious. The barbarians were all damned Nikkans, and none of them could be left behind.
"boom……"
However, today was not their auspicious day. After a while, the second round of shells suddenly fell. One of them landed at the same point as before, less than ten steps away.
Two of Eshuo's Bagala soldiers were killed on the spot and thirteen were injured. Although they continued to curse, it was of no avail. The barbarians opposite could not hear it at all, let alone understand it.
The explosion site was littered with broken limbs and limbs. When you looked up, you could see people lying in a pool of blood. There were even more injured people lying on the ground screaming.
The Eight Banner Masters are still qualified to sit on the ground and howl, but the Baoyi Aha does not have this treatment. As long as he can still breathe, he must stand up, otherwise the Ba Ya La will kill him with a knife.
At this time, not only the Ming army's mortar battalion was continuing to fire, but the Japanese artillery positions deployed on the top of the mountain were also trying their best to block the enemy's advance. More than twenty artillery pieces, large and small, were firing non-stop and reloading ammunition.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon, Baizi Cannon and Fo Lang Machine can all fire shotguns, which can cause considerable damage to infantry groups in close combat. Combined with a large number of bows and iron cannons, an invisible iron curtain is formed on the battlefield.
The Qing army launched one wave after another of rolling charges, followed by dead soldiers holding shields, and then sharp soldiers wearing three layers of armor. The most powerful Bajala was responsible for supervising the battle from the rear.
However, the progress was very different. They were completely in a difficult situation. Before they could leap onto the opponent's position, they were shot one after another and fell halfway down the road.
It was not like the Eight Banners soldiers did not rush while fighting. They fired no less than 20,000 arrows. Facing the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches, less than half of them hit the target. The arrows were everywhere. The damage is minimal.
"Two more volleys! Now! Hurry!"
When Luo San saw that the Dog Tartars were really trying their best to charge forward, Luo San immediately decided to ask the whole battalion to fire two more rounds of volleys. Since the Dog Tartars came to the door willingly today, he would not be polite to them. .
In less than four minutes, the artillery battalion fired four volleys, and the density of the shelling was very high. In addition, the dog Tatars were extremely cooperative, and the effect was naturally beyond imagination.
"Oh my God! How many dog-Tatars will be killed?"
"Who knows? When the dog Tatars turn around and run away, we can go over and count them!"
Without a telescope, just by looking at the ridge on the opposite side with the naked eye, the soldiers in the artillery camp could see that the ground was covered with dense corpses and wounded soldiers.
Nagato Rokuro was stunned by the power of this simple weapon. After seeing the other party's second performance, he was completely convinced.
Based on the appearance alone, he would never understand that such a simple weapon could have such terrifying power. Even the artillery called the "Flangji" by the Ming army could not compare with the iron barrel cannon.
Under the fierce attack of this three-dimensional firepower, the Qing army's offensive, which wanted to conquer the opponent's position in one go, gradually slowed down. When it was more than ten steps away from the target, it was almost at the end of its crossbow.
Before they could engage in hand-to-hand combat with the barbarians, not counting the flying bullet attacks, they were hit four times by large-scale explosions, losing almost one-third of the total force. It can be seen that the White Flag Aung Bang Jung Kyung Asan is both Annoyed and resentful.
The damn dog barbarians would hide in the mountains and shoot birds with cannons and fire artillery, and they would not dare to engage in close combat with the Eight Banners soldiers. They were so hateful, and these despicable and shameless people should be killed.
Twenty-six small cannons, thousands of iron cannons, more than 700 bows, plus 144 mortars and thousands of grenades. With these weapons, the Ming-Japanese coalition forces completely completed the ridge road leading to the commanding heights. Lock it down.
It is too easy to use so many weapons to deal with the hundreds of people rushing at the front. One out of ten Tiepao Ashigaru can suppress the Qing army's charge.
Even if this hit rate cannot be achieved, they can be supplemented by rapid-fire bows, and the spear ashigaru can throw grenades to take charge of the last line of defense, which can be said to be foolproof.
Naturally, the weapons brought by the Japanese army alone could not stop such a ferocious enemy force, but with the addition of grenades and mortars, it was much more effective.
"The Tatars are coming from the south!"
The Qing army on the southern front, mainly composed of the Tianyou Army and supplemented by the white flag, had less than 2,000 soldiers, and the Eight Banners soldiers were less than 400. Most of them were the Tianyou soldiers under the obedient king Kong Youde, plus a thousand Baoyi Aha.
His three capable men, Cao Dexian, Jia Shikui, and Chang Guofang, were in charge of the command, and Niulu Zhangjing Heluohui with a white flag was leading the battle behind with hundreds of armored soldiers to supervise the battle.
The Qing army originally wanted to attack along the ridge, but considering that the ridge was too narrow and would be blocked by dog barbarians, they came up with an opportunistic way.
That is to first send a small number of soldiers to feign an attack along the ridge, and then a large group of troops advance to the foot of the mountain in the target area, and then charge up. This arrangement seems to be correct.
But after getting closer, the Qing army discovered that the hillside was too steep, which was not conducive to their own climbing, but was conducive to Goumanzi's defense.
After trying for a long time, after hundreds of people were killed and injured, and there was no hope of capture at all, the Qing generals decided to use that stupid method again.
This caused the coordinated attacks of the two Qing armies to become disconnected. The main force on the north side was already fighting in full swing, while the partial division on the south side was still wandering in the ravine...
"What a bunch of idiots who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
He Luohui was so angry that he yelled and cursed, but the generals of the God's Blessing Army ignored this at all. They killed and injured many of their men last night. If the fighting continues this morning, then there is no need to think about entering the customs again. Everyone will have to lie here. Ghost place.
The Tianyou Army is no better than the Han Banner, which is directly controlled by the emperor. It is just a private army affiliated to the obedient King Kong Youde. It works hard when fighting, but when it comes to a tough battle, the situation will be different.
He Luohui knew that he had few troops. With just these Eight Banners soldiers, he might not be able to achieve the goal set by Prince Yu, so he could only rely on God's Blessing Army to march in front.
It turned out that the barbarians on the ridge were just as expected. They were so stubborn that Master Wang could not break the situation. After charging for nearly a quarter of an hour, no less than 300 people were added to the attack.
Cao Dexian, Jia Shikui, and Chang Guofang did not run out of ideas. They divided the army into three, and each led a team to charge north along a ridge.
However, due to bad luck, they were greeted by the opponent with muskets, bows, arrows, grenades, and various small cannons. As a result, the entire attack was frustrated, and they were blocked into three long snake formations along the ridge.
All three groups of troops hit the iron plate. The three generals and He Luohui, who was responsible for supervising the battle, were all huddled in the trenches, cursing and worrying...
"Master! We really can't rush forward!"
Niuluzhang Jingzierg, who was wearing a white flag, covered his shoulder where he was hit by the arrow with his hand and ran back. This was considered a misdirection by the opponent. He came back with his life and rushed up again, which means he was hit by an arrow in the head.
"Oh~! It hurts so much!"
Jiala'e Zhencheke is Qilge's boss, but he has the same luck as his subordinates. He was hit in the leg by a cannon and was now being held up by two soldiers, limping back. Every step he took, the severe pain from the wound made him scream.
