Chapter 186 Scarlet Wuma Mountain (3)
At the last moment of life and death in Tiebiguan Village, all the hunting soldiers led by Zhang Rui finally arrived.
The messenger was supposed to bring hunting soldiers into the village from the back mountain of Tiebi Pass, but when he saw the situation was urgent, Zhang Rui made a quick decision: It is important not to enter the village first, blocking the Jin soldiers.
Zhang Rui summoned a messenger to inquire and learned that there was a fork on the path on the right side of the village that could penetrate to the flank of the Jin soldiers, but he had to climb a cliff. Zhang Rui immediately left twenty hunters to protect mules, horses, baggage and ammunition, and brought his own
Eighty hunters carried guns and armored, and crossed the cliff with ropes.
This shows the benefits of the mountain war training in the teaching camp on weekdays. The cliff more than two feet wide was connected in front and supported the back, and more than 80 elite soldiers all swung the ropes quickly and skillfully to fly over the sky
By the way, then quickly gathered in the open space on the edge of the cliff and stood on standby.
Liang Xing is also one of them. This is one of the four tigers in Heiya Mountain Village, a Taihang hero known as the "Flying Tiger". The more he sees, the more frightened he becomes. According to what he sees, with the skills of these 80 hunters
With courage, any one can be used as a small leader in any Taihang Mountain village. But this is not the most surprising thing. What is really amazing is that the brave men with such skills are well-trained.
, strict discipline.
In Liang Xing's impression, Taihang Mountain has never had an army that is both brave and strict military discipline. What amazing combat effectiveness will such a combat team have? It's really exciting!
After crossing the cliff, I climbed to the top of the cliff and was about to come down, and I could see the command of the Jin army and the whirlwind cannon position.
Zhang Rui used the visual method taught by Di Lie to calculate the distance. The oblique distance from the cliff to the cyclone cannon position was about twenty feet away. The command of the Jin army was even further away, more than thirty feet away.
.
Should we attack the Jin army headquarters first? Or should we attack the Whirlwind Cannon position first?
Zhang Rui thought for a little while and decided to attack the whirlwind cannon position first. First, because the distance is close, he is more confident; second, he has also seen the absolute suppression of this object on the Iron Wall Pass and its powerful deterrence to the defenders.
Dropting this siege weapon can not only greatly enhance the morale of the defenders and severely defeat the enemy. It is also conducive to defense in the next battle for defense of Guanzhai.
Zhang Rui's decision to knock down the whirlwind cannon was not simply destroying it. Today, the twelve whirlwind cannons are destroyed, and another group can be created tomorrow. Only by killing those craftsmen is the real way to get rid of the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
After deciding the order of attack targets, eighty hunters lined up eight rows on the not-so-wide cliff top. Each row had ten people. The first row had a half-kneeling posture, the second row was upright, and the third row was
Standing on a higher place.
Due to the dangerous terrain on the cliff, people's movements are limited. The hunters used the wheel shooting method, that is, the first three rows of shooting. After the completion, the empty guns were passed to the back, and the five rows of the rear loaded with ammunition, and then transferred back in turn.
, continue to launch. This cycle is repeated, keeping the firepower output endlessly.
After the array was completed, Zhang Rui stood on the right side of the musket array with a gun and issued a loud order: "Take the medicine... load the bullets... tamp the scale... aim... prepare... to hit!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Rui first pulled down the board and fired the first shot. As a result, with his excellent talent and rich sniping experience, he hit the target with one blow.
Taking this shot as a signal, the hunters rescue operation officially started.
Bang bang bang! The first row of hunters fired the first round of volleys. He killed the craftsmen more than 20 meters away and the gunners next to the three cyclone guns; the second row of fired the other gunners killed nearly half. ;The third row of volleys, all the whirlwinds—whether intact or damaged, were around them. No more living person...
The first round of three rows of volleys were fired, and the cyclone cannon position was completely cleared.
At this time, Liang Xing had just taken off the pair of black lacquer bows from Tianshu City Lord Di Lie who was sent to him by him. He hung a string and put a carved feather arrow on him. He was about to shoot out. A series of deafening series suddenly came from his ears. The explosion sounded, Liang Xing, who was unconscious, almost threw out the bow and arrow in his hand. A gust of mountain wind blew, wrapped in smoke, smearing him into black paint...
Liang Xing opened his mouth like this, his white eyes were stunned... half was shocked by the fire-breathing weapon, half was shocked by the corpses on the whirlwind cannon position under the cliff.
Xiao Bulu, who was not far from the whirlwind cannon position, had the same expression as Liang Xing, with a little more of the content that the former did not have - fear!
As the confidant general of Zhending's left-behind Yelu Duo, after Wanyan Agu's thousands of elite soldiers were destroyed in Yinmatan, Xiao Bulu was ordered to investigate the battlefield that day and picked up many strange but unknown uses. Deformed Lead Pill. Later, I learned about the Lord of Tianshu City from many sources and then realized that this mysterious evil spirit had suffered a lot of hardships for the Jindong Lu Army in Nanluo.
With Wanyan Zongwang, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, was very talented and had tens of thousands of powerful soldiers in his hand, but he could not help this evil spirit. There are also rumors that the mysterious death of the Eastern Route Army was directly related to the fierce spirit...
Yelu Duo and Xiao Bulu may not believe such horrifying rumors, but they all agreed that the lord of Tianshu City, known as the "evil spirit", must have extraordinary means. Wanyan Agu's entire army was wiped out, that is, The most powerful proof.
Now, when Xiao Bulu saw the amazing scene of spitting out his tongue on the cliff, he realized with a sudden enlightenment that this army, known as the "Tian Zhu Army", could bury Wanyan Agu's three thousand army.
What kind of weapon is that? It is not inferior to the range of the bow and arrow, and uses a more scary attack method than a whirlwind. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and squeezed the position of nearly a hundred people just now and swept across the sky?!
Xiao Bulu looked dazed. He seemed to see a messenger running over in front of him, and was about to report something to him... The messenger had just opened his mouth, and his head suddenly exploded without warning, and the hot red and white things were Splashed all over him...
Xiao Bulu shivered all over, and woke up from his dream, shouting at the top of his throat: "Get back! Retreat quickly!" He opened his mouth, and the thick bloody brain plasma that splashed on his face was filled with his mouth...
At this time, on the whirlwind cannon position, hundreds of soldiers and the remaining gunners were already dead and ran away; Xiao Bulu's command was also in chaos. For the first time, he witnessed such a flame roaring like thunder The Jin soldiers who were shooting like rain and the scene where the person in the middle was hiding the corpse, even though they were extremely brave guards beside Xiao Bulu, they could not remain calm. Under the rifle of guns, they ran and drove.
Xiao Bulu's command center has not many guards, only 2 or 30 guards. Like Xiao Bulu, most of them are Khitans. If you can become Xiao Bulu's guards, you will naturally be a fierce soldier in a hundred battles, but in Under this sudden terrifying blow, there is only one who can escape.
From Zhang Rui's musket array on the cliff to the command center of the Jin army, it was about 30 feet long, and it was converted into steps, which was only about 70 or 80 steps. It was the limit of the effective range of the musket. It was such a long distance.
He is an elite student of the teaching battalion who has undergone a lot of shooting training. His hit rate is not much higher, and he still hits such a fast moving target. It can be said that if it were not for the help of the ruler, he truly realized the "three points and one line"
The aiming and the "thumb distance measurement method" taught by Di Lie, if you want to hit a fast moving target a hundred meters (eighty steps) away, you can only rely on luck and will, and have nothing to do with your personal skills.
The ruler gap, sight, plus the target. It is what is commonly known as the three points and one line. Before the ruler appeared, there was only two points and one line aiming method, and the hit rate could be imagined. Therefore, in the early 19th century later, the British Army
Colonel Hange wrote a very pessimistic sentence, evaluating the smoothbore gun at that time: "I want to use an ordinary gun to shoot people 200 yards (180 meters) away. You might as well shoot the moon instead, because two
The chances of hitting are the same."
I have to say that Xiao Bulu is lucky. The messenger, who is only a few steps away from where he is standing, was exposed, but Xiao Bulu escaped. Xiao Bulu, who is both despairing, is about to break the village.
At the last moment, he made a dizzy order: withdraw troops! Then he let out his feet first.
In fact, Xiao Bulu’s order cannot be completely wrong. Since he has failed, retreating is better than retreating. However, sometimes the idea is good. In fact, it is another matter.
The Jin army command was attacked, and the banging gunshots magnified infinitely under the echo of the mountains, almost overwhelming the crowds of people under the Tiebiguan Village. The Jin soldiers who were in a smooth sailing and were shocked.
Looking back, I was shocked to find that my own formation had been removed, and the main general fled in panic.
On the battlefield from ancient times to the present, the back roads were being raided, which was the most harmful to morale; the main formation was being slaughtered, which was the most despair of the enemy; while the commander fled in panic, the soldiers below were still fighting tenaciously, and I had hardly heard of it...
As a result, the Jin soldiers who were only one step away from occupying the inner village wall, like their chief general, lost their chains at critical moments, and rushed in like a wave of the sea, retreating in panic.
In history, the biggest casualties always occurred when retreating. Hundreds of Jin soldiers squeezed towards the gate of the village that was only two meters wide. It was inevitable that they would be congested, squeezed, fell and trampled. Youwei took the lead in running away.
He even waved his sword and axe to his companions and killed him. He just killed the enemy side by side, but in a blink of an eye, his sword turned against each other and turned against him. Just by escaping from the village, the Jin soldiers suffered dozens of casualties.
If the defenders of Tiebiguanzhai can seize the opportunity, pursue and expand the results of the battle at this time, the Jin soldiers did not leave hundreds of corpses, it would be a blessing. Unfortunately, the defenders who survived the disaster
Everyone was sitting on the ground with their strength, and they couldn't even hold their weapons, let alone chased them, and missed a great opportunity in vain. At this time, all the defenders of Tiebi Guanzhai, including Zhao Bangjie, were confused and completely confused.
I don't know what happened to this Jedi turnaround...
The defenders of Tiebi Guanzhai missed the great opportunity to attack the Jin soldiers, but Zhang Rui's hunting soldiers did not miss the opportunity to hit the dogs in pain. The hunting soldiers loaded the rear row, rotated in the middle, and shot in the front row, like a wind-splash.
The rain of bullets was poured into the only way for the defeated Jin army.
Although the range of more than 30 meters is a little farther and the hit rate is also a little lower, the thirty muskets repeatedly bombard one of the sections of the road with the flank attack that can best exert the effect of the musket. To some extent, This area can be blocked and turned into a "death channel".
Under the baptism of the barrage, all the Jin soldiers who fled from the noses of the hunting soldiers and soldiers were sieve. They were lucky and sieved out, and those with bad luck were left behind...
There were constantly running around and falling head-on. Some of them fell down and stopped moving. More often they covered their broken hands and feet, or blood holes in their chest and abdomen, screaming and striking, struggling in the cold wind lethal.
The Jin soldiers who were unwilling to kill him wanted to shoot with their bows, and even wanted to rush to the whirlwind cannon position and use the three intact whirlwind cannons to counterattack. However, the distance of eighty steps was under the cliff again, With five or six bows, I want to cause casualties to the hunters on the top of the cliff? I really think too much. The whirlwind cannon has a certain threat, but under the eyes of the hunters and soldiers, which gold is there? Can soldiers run to the whirlwind cannon position safely? Not to mention the series of complex actions of gunfire launching.
The killing knife just now turned into chopping board meat in a flash. The roles of the Jin soldiers changed so quickly. Not to mention their own, even the rebels watching the battle on the distant village wall were stunned, not knowing whether to be surprised or happy.
Finally, a rebel soldier who woke up ran wildly and ran to Wanglou for advice from Zhao Bangjie: "Master Zhizhai, should we go over and help..."
Zhao Bangjie's shock expression on his face was still unrest. He looked at the tragic situation like the Shura field in the distance, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Just like the Jindog, what else do we need to help? Besides, the battlefield is dangerous, don't be hurt by mistake. .”
At this time, the Western Army guard who had recognized the whirlwind cannon before, and carefully approached and said, "Master Zhizhai, who will be the visitor? He has such a mighty power..."
Zhao Bangjie glanced at the guard sideways and sighed: "Did you see the black flag and white characters? Apart from the Tianzhu Army in Tianshu City, who will still be there? I don't know how many people they came and how they used it. Thunderbolt methods actually killed the Golden Dog in a blink of an eye..."
The crisis has been resolved, and the overall situation has been settled, and the guards have begun to have leisure to guess:
"It should be no less than three hundred..."
"How is it possible? If there are no five hundred and all the elites, it will be impossible to achieve such amazing results..."
"That's not necessarily true. We can do it even if we use surprise troops to attack the enemy's main formation, break the enemy's head, disrupt the enemy's center, and cause the enemy to be defeated. Give me three hundred strong spirits, strong bows and hard crossbows, and I can... ”
"Old Wang, youngster is joking. Not to mention that you have to pass a cliff to the top of the cliff, few people have the courage to fly over, three hundred? Hehe... Take a step back and say, you take it seriously Lead three hundred elites to cross the cliff and climb to the top of the cliff. Look at the distance, no less than seven or eighty steps. How many stone bows and strong archers do you have? No? How many horse-yellow crossbows or jump-pick crossbows do you have? ?How many crossbowmen are there? Not to mention our Tiebi Guanzhai, even if we transfer the crossbowmen from Chaotian Guanzhai to the north, we can't make up the number you want... We may have this ability, but we don't Such a strength!”
Zhao Bangjie kept silently staring at the battlefield in the distance, and seemed not paying attention to the arguments of his guards, but after the guard finally said this, the audience was silent. Zhao Bangjie's sigh sounded: "Li Zhen is right, Strength, strength! What kind of strength does this Tianshu City have?"
At this time, gunfire was gradually fading on the battlefield in the distance, and the remaining figures of Jin soldiers fleeing gradually disappeared on the mountain road. All that were left was a corpse and frozen blood gradually turning into ice...
Chapter completed!
