Goryeo, Gyeonggi-do, Mongchontoseong.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The *** are here again. This time they brought in carts, archers, and crossbowmen. They immediately switched to muskets and flying cannons. No one is allowed to fire without someone's order! Let's put these gangs to death. Let the beast that has forgotten its ancestors come closer and hit it again!"
The Eight Banners Xia Army's Zhenghuang Banner, Mele'er Zhenshuoergentu's sixty warriors, and three hundred ordinary flagmen, led by the powerful Lundahl, faced the small carriage, under the cover of the arrow rain of the archers. Next, a fierce attack was launched on Chiyang's first line of defense where Chen An was located! They walked slowly but steadily. Nine carts with small wheels, driven by thirty-six strong flag men, walked at the front of the queue, blocking the frontal shots for the subsequent picks and ordinary flag men. The arrows and lead bullets came in, while the selected frontmen and ordinary flagmen behind them held their weapons tightly. As soon as they got close to a certain distance, they launched a group attack on the "Korean"!
"Eighty paces away, everyone, please hold back and don't fire your guns randomly. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Sixty steps away, everyone, keep holding back, Qi Wulang, you bastard, if you don't quickly put your cowardly finger down from the trigger, if you fire the gun randomly, I will take off your head and kick it as a ball! "
"Forty steps away, the shooters in the first row aim at the Tatar soldiers and fire! After the first row fires, retreat back without delay. The shooters in the second row aim their guns at the Tatar soldiers and fire! The shooters in the second row fire After finishing, retreat back, seize the time to reload, the third row takes a step forward, stand guard with guns, and obey certain orders! Flying gunners, raise the artillery level, aim at the Tatar carriage, fire! Fire! Fire!"
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
Following Chen An's order, dozens or twenty orange gun flames and thick smoke were sprayed out from behind the first parapet of Chiyang! Next, without waiting for the results to be clearly seen, the second row of musketeers stepped forward quickly, replaced the first row of musketeers, and fired their flintlock rifles again! So soon, with a dull sound of breaking through the air, dozens of hot lead bullets broke free from the shackles of the barrel and accurately hit the carriage in front of the Eight Banners Xia Army! Those bullets propelled by high-quality black powder were very powerful. Just two short volleys of muskets dug out shockingly large holes in the sturdy carriage! However, whether due to the distance or the direction of the wind, the flying bullets only broke the surface of the car, but did not directly penetrate the car made of thick wood!
Therefore, when a breeze blew away the smoke from the battlefield, commander Chen An immediately stopped his men and began to use flying cannons with better armor-breaking capabilities! Chiyang's senior officials have done research and found that when loaded with arrowhead solid bullets, this small pig iron cannon can easily penetrate the five or six-inch thick wooden board of the carriage and injure the infantry behind it! As a result, the five flying cannons equipped by Chiyang's front-line troops quickly fired darts at the Eight Banners Xia Army's carriage under the control of the first and second gunners!
"Puff puff……"
The result was just as Chen An expected. Powered by high-quality black gunpowder, the darts fired by the flying cannon not only easily penetrated the wooden planks of the carriage, but also knocked over the Eight Banners Xia army behind the carriage. So many, that the other Xia Army bannermen who were still struggling to push the cart were stunned on the spot, and did not dare to move randomly anymore. They were afraid that their every move would attract enemy shell attacks, and their deaths would be as worthless as the former!
"Good opportunity, the musketeers in the third row should aim at the Tatars and fire! After the third row has finished firing, retreat back. Don't wait any longer. The musketeers in the first row should move forward, aim their guns at the Tatars and fire!"
Fire, turn right, and retreat in small steps with the gun; reload ammunition, quickly step forward with the gun, fire again, turn right again, and retreat in small steps with the gun! There were forty-eight musketeers in the Chiyang Regular Banner Army and the reinforced Guards. They lined up in three neat rows and stood in front of the trench and kept firing at the Eight Banners Xia Army under Sergentu! For a moment, smoke was everywhere and lead bullets were flying. The Xia army was caught off guard and the flag men fell instantly. They did not expect that the flintlock gun in Chiyang's hand could fire so fast. It only took twenty breaths. Five or six rounds of hot lead bullets were fired! This speed has overturned their basic understanding of muskets. They have never seen the matchlock guns of the Ming army. It is good to be able to fire a round of bullets in twenty seconds, but it is not like these "Korean people". At the same time, a large number of lead bullets were continuously sprayed out, until he couldn't lift his head! here
This does not include the flying cannons loaded with explosive bullets. If we also include the flying cannons, Chiyang can fire hundreds or even thousands of lead bullets in twenty breaths of time! Under such a density of blows, the Eight Banners Xia Army collapsed unexpectedly. The bravest among them had already fallen to the lead bullets first, and the other ordinary bannermen couldn't help but burst into tears after seeing this. , immediately began to escape reflexively.
"Stop, stop everyone! The Tatar soldiers have withdrawn. Everyone takes the time to reload ammunition. Spearmen and sword and shield bearers line up in front to prevent the Tatar soldiers from turning around. The reserve soldiers send two armors out to carry the corpses and damaged carts. Push it aside so as not to affect the rest of the battle!"
Looking at the retreating Eight Banners Xia Army, Chen An immediately ordered his regular banner troops to form an array behind the parapet to warn the Tartars who might come back! In addition, in order to clear the firing range for the musketeers, this guy also ordered the reserve troops to go forward and move away the enemy corpses and damaged carriages that were in the way! At this moment, little Belgurmahun also received the news that Sorgentu was defeated again. So this guy was so angry that he didn't care about his status as a member of the Manchu clan, and rushed over with his army. He wanted to personally meet these "Korean people" who didn't act according to common sense, and see if they were like Dumala, Shuo Ergentu is as brave and good at fighting as he boasts!
"Brother Sergentu, let's go to the nearby villages to grab some stick people and bring them over. Later you lead the Xia army to escort them and charge again. Use those despicable Nikans to consume the gunpowder of the Tucheng defenders. Ben Beile, on the other hand, We want to see how many medicines these people can use..." Z.br>
"Hey, I will send people around to search for Korean people! Lundal, you take two Niulu and head west, and capture all the Korean people you meet on the way; Tuxa, you take three Niulu and head east On the way forward, we will treat the Korean people we meet on the way in the same way; as for the north, near Tucheng, Ben Ezhen will be in charge personally! Okay, let’s move quickly while it’s still early in the day!”
Just do what you said. After receiving the order from the Manchu master, Sergentu did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered his two generals to lead a team of troops to search west and east! All the Goryeo people encountered on the way were taken captive and used as cannon fodder in front of the army. Their Manchu masters, with three powerful Eight Banners soldiers, swaggered to the first line of defense where Chen An and others were. We need to get closer to investigate the defense situation of the "Korean people" and see if we can find any opportunity to break through the defense circle of these hateful guys!
"The earth is dug into trenches, and the earth is built into walls. There are iron caltrops in front and thunder to shake the sky. There are firecrackers and cannons behind. In addition, the sergeants dare to fight. *** This earth city is really not easy to fight. Look. Before I came here, I wrongly blamed Dumala, Ta Lai, and Luo Luohui for the three Ezhens! Come here, please bring three large pieces of silver. I want to make some compensation for the three Ezhens! We Jurchen men are not like those nuns. I want to save face so much, right is right, wrong is wrong, if you say you want to make up for it, you will make up..."
Looking at the tight military formation and high morale of the "Korean people", Gurma Hui finally understood why the famously brave Luo Luohui, Lundahl, Tuksa and others returned without success. The Manchus were good at shooting on foot and charging on horseback, but they didn't know much about attacking fortifications. So in order to win over his subordinates, Gurma Hui decided to slap him in the face and reward him with a sweet date, Dumala, and Tarai. Luo Luohui each received fifty taels of silver. As for Lundahl and Tuxa, they only gave a few gentle words of encouragement! It should be noted that although the old Khan Shuerhaqi established units such as the Eight Banners Xia Army and the Eight Banners Han Army in his later years, in essence, these Xia people and Han people were still full of Aha and Baoyi of the Eight Banners. Therefore, when the master scolds the slave, the scolding is enough. Is it possible that the master should in turn apologize to the slaves and reward them? Please take a piss and reflect on your own virtue. You are worthy of being a nun. !
"Hey, Lord Belle!"
Back to the subject, when Gurma Hui issued the order, the Goshikhas who were accompanying him did not dare to neglect, and immediately brought three large silver ingots, and Dumala, Ta Lai, and Luo Luohui saw it. After signing the petition, he quickly knelt down to thank his master, Hong En, and took the three large silver coins! They know Gurma Hui's temper. He is a true master. You have to accept the money you give out, and you have to accept it even if you don't. If he is too verbose, he is someone who does not know how to praise. If you make a mistake in the hands of Little Belle, you will get a knife.
Then, as a burst of roaring sound sounded like the roar of a wild beast, I felt an inexplicable feeling.
The greatly encouraged three generals immediately led their men and began to advance towards the area where Chiyang was located. They fully learned the lessons of the previous defeat, so they did not attack directly, but slowly approached the trench under the protection of the carriage! During this period, these Jurchen savages who were skilled in bow and horse kept drawing their hard bows and throwing arrows into the sky, hoping that this would consume more ammunition of the defenders and create opportunities for the following close-quarters combat!
"Attention everyone, the Tartars are coming up again! Flying gunners, flying gunners step forward, aim at their carriages, and fire!"
Seeing that the enemy dared to come forward to die, Chen An simply did not let the musketeers waste their bullets. Instead, he directly ordered the gunners to take out the flying cannons and began to fire powerful explosive shells at the former! The self-generated fire cannon equipped by Chiyang has a very fast rate of fire, but it is somewhat unable to cope with the five to six-inch-thick carton. The Feizhen cannon is different. The system-modified gun body, coupled with the high quality Just one shot of black gunpowder is enough to injure a Manchu soldier wearing thick armor! You know, the latter's face is not protected by armor, and the iron sand contained in the explosive bullet is enough to easily penetrate it!
