"Kill!" "Charge!"
The cavalry shouted, chasing and killing all the way without stopping at all.
The musketeer at the back dismounted and attacked the mountain, while the flintlock gunner took cover below.
Bei Yuan's army had collapsed and could not be organized at all. Their general was shot in the leg by an arrow, and was trampled several times by the hoofs of the horses behind him, and he could no longer move.
"Keep going." Tang He's eyes were bright, and he opened a gap. As long as he entered from here, he could directly defeat Yang He.
The enemy troops are staying on other mountains at this time! It is not known to be open so far.
The team crossed the mountain and went straight to Yanghe. The city wall of Yanghe was only two feet high.
There are less than a thousand troops guarding the city. In fact, there are only ten thousand people here.
Previously on Guillotine Hill, the Yuan soldiers deployed 3,000 men. With these 3,000 men, they could commandeer the 5,000 Ming troops.
But they were led out and completely defeated under a series of blows.
"Scream, surrender without killing." Tang He looked at the city wall in front of him and curled his lips. Who could stop it from being so high?
"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!" the soldiers shouted.
The fusiliers and musketeers loaded their ammunition and went to a place under the city wall where there were many arrows and aimed upwards.
They only aimed at a width of 100 paces and left the other positions alone.
Ten cavalrymen were ready behind them, each with a bag in front of them.
"Fire arrows!" Tang He gave the order, and the other cavalry began to charge from a distance. After reaching a certain distance, with the help of inertia, the arrows in their hands flew toward the city head.
The archers and gunmen at the top of the city immediately counterattacked, but their range was not as far as the cavalry that used inertia.
As soon as they emerged, the fusiliers and musketeers below opened fire, beating the people in the upper section to death and shrinking in one round.
The flintlock gun behind them continued to fire, the crackling sound continued, and the bullets made a popping sound when they hit the city wall.
Ten people with bags on horseback rode up to the city wall, dismounted their horses, put the bags away, lit the fuse, and then urged the horses to run quickly. When the horses ran, people jumped on them.
Seeing them running to their positions, the fusiliers responsible for suppressing fire also turned around and ran as fast as they could.
The people on the city wall didn't even know what it meant. How could they beat him up, throw something over and run away?
While they were wondering, the fuse finally burned to the end, and the fire, thunder and mercury were ignited first, followed closely...
'Rumble, rumble...' The ground was shaking, and the people on the city wall and in the city felt that the sky and the earth were shaking for a moment, their feet were unsteady, and their ears were buzzing...
Then dust flew up and bricks flew everywhere.
After dozens of breaths, dust was still floating in the sky, but some things could already be seen.
The city wall where things were stored just now collapsed for more than thirty steps, leaving a large gap made of dirt and bricks.
The general guarding the city was pressing his ears with the index fingers of his hands, opening and closing his mouth, and at the same time he looked gray and gray.
There was a gash on the left side of his forehead, and blood seeped out and flowed down his cheek.
"The city is broken!" "The city is broken!" "The city is broken!"
The army of the Ming Dynasty stood in the distance and shouted. The soldiers shouted and clapped the hands of the people next to them. This time the coordination was perfect.
The cavalrymen fired arrows to lure the enemy forward, suppressed them with flintlock and musket fire, and the demolition men put explosives forward.
No one was injured, let alone killed, and a gap of about thirty steps was blown through the city wall.
When I encounter small towns like this in the future, it won't be a problem at all.
"The big city is no problem either. If you throw the cyclone cannon into it and throw it over one by one, there will be no living people inside or on the city wall."
Zhang Cundao looked happy, feeling the power of the new weapon. This thing was previously used to blast rocks and build canals.
"From now on, the lives of our Ming soldiers are valuable. We must not attack recklessly. As long as the cyclone cannon can be thrown, we can easily capture any place, whether it is a mountain or a city."
Tang He's ears were actually buzzing. He had covered his ears and closed his mouth just now, but the sound was loud and still came through.
Of course, the fusiliers and musketeers running back were holding weapons, so they couldn't cover their ears, so they had to open their mouths wide and face away.
This is something I learned during training. It is said that sounds can also attack people, especially their ears.
Either cover your ears and shut up, or turn your back to the direction of the sound and open your mouth without covering your ears. What is balance?
Even at such a long distance, the shock would be uncomfortable. If that thing exploded close by, it could directly shock people and cause bleeding and damage to all internal organs.
Zhang Cundao also opened his mouth: "The people above were gone just now, and the people next to them didn't get up yet. Do you want to charge?"
Tang He shook his head: "Wait, wait for their general Gambi to surrender. He is probably confused by the shock, and he should not be able to hear any movement at the moment.
If he doesn't surrender after a while, we'll blow up another place, and we'll take it with us.
Rushing in means fighting hand to hand, the cavalry cannot move inside, and it is not cost-effective to dismount and fight. "
Just as Tang He said, the opponent's general Ganbi was shouting at people, and others were shouting at him, and then both sides looked helpless.
He stood on the city wall and looked at the Ming army in the distance, his face full of anxiety. He looked around, untied his clothes and took off the white silk clothes underneath.
Then he took a gun next to him, tied his clothes on it, and waved it towards the Ming army on the opposite side. He raised the white flag. If he didn't fight, the battle would be impossible.
When the soldiers next to him saw the general holding up the white flag, they all breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if we don't fight. If we continue to fight, we will only die. The enemy is too powerful and it's not worth it."
The key is that if you can't kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one, so what is that? With a sudden bang, the city wall collapsed.
I and others still can't hear other people's voices and feel like vomiting.
'Wow~~' someone thought and vomited.
Others who were holding back, saw the person next to them vomiting, and started vomiting along with them.
Gambi also vomited, holding the gun barrel in his hand to prevent him from falling, fearing that the other party would misunderstand.
"Look, they surrendered. There is no sound, which means their ears are still buzzing!" Tang He smiled.
"Such a divine weapon comes from my Ming Dynasty. It is truly a blessing from heaven."
Zhang Cundao looked back at his brothers, all of them with happy faces.
Who can believe that during this expedition to attack Yanghe, no one was killed, and only about twenty people were injured. Two of the Duolingshan defenders threw a few stones and hit their heads. They bled a lot, but they were fine.
The other type is those where the foot is sprained from a rock when climbing. The mountain is really difficult to climb. If you accidentally step on a certain stone, then the stone turns over and the foot is twisted without any force.
This is how wars should be fought in the future. If you have a flintlock gun, why should you fight with others with swords?
"I'm going to write out the question book when I get back. The flintlock gun is so useful, but the shield is not thick enough. It can penetrate and break it directly."
Zhang Cundao thought again that the Yuan Bing shield he had seen before was unable to protect against flintlock bullets.
We knew this before that using a shield to block flintlock bullets turned out to require a thick shield.
Today's actual combat has proven this, and we need to equip ourselves with more flintlock guns.
