Chapter 114: All-Army Assault
There was no permanent turret built on the wooden walls of Sannais Town. After the assaulter's mortars were bombarded, the artillery mounts of Sannais Town were basically scrapped. It was okay if the gun barrels were blown off the cannon stand, but they could barely shoot when they were carried onto a stand. If they didn't blow it up, the soldiers under Yadonis had to look for things to cushion. On the battlefield of fierce firefighting, there was no time for them to do this.
This is also impossible. The artillery in their hands is the old style of the 17th century. Many of them were the products of the colonial subway plants not built in large quantities. The gun stand was made of solid wood, and the key was covered with a layer of iron. The mortars were turned off and the heavy fire guns began to fire at full speed. The wooden walls of Sannais Town did not have much effect at all. Because they were in the middle of the colony, some of the wooden walls were demolished due to the expansion of the town.
If Xiao Lin hadn't wanted to hurt the names of the civilians, and the trouble of the subsequent incorporation would have been invaded from those places. But it was not too late now. The power of the 120mm cannon could not be resisted by a wooden wall. After only four batches of heavy punches, the wooden wall collapsed and a huge gap was created. Yadonis was held by several confidants, left the wooden wall and retreated directly to the town mayor's building. Two thousand town militias, under the order of one thousand private soldiers of the Pandy family, began to use the street decoration to create layers of defense lines.
Seeing the wooden wall collapse, Dean took the charge platoon first and took the lead. Sam, as his younger brother, shook his head helplessly. His elder brother always regarded him as a soldier and always took the lead with the charge platoon. It’s not that this is not good, but after all, he is a battalion commander and the most senior officer in the guard team. If he dies or falls in a coma after no news, and no one cares about more than 300 people, how can he continue to fight? Xiao Lin repeatedly ordered him not to lead the charge platoon, but he didn’t expect that as soon as the fight started, he came again.
Sam looked carefully at the boss Xiao Lin beside him and found that his face had turned pale. After three seconds of silence for his brother's next closed life, Sam also brought the soldiers of the Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion. At this time, Dean had already entered the wooden wall with the charge platoon. According to the infantry training script compiled by the company, the people in the charge platoon, under the cover of the other soldiers, avoided the shooting of the enemy still on the remaining wooden wall, and lined up on both sides of the gap.
Five grenades were handed to the front warriors one by one. After igniting the fuse with a lighter, they counted for three seconds and immediately threw them in from the gap. Ten explosions sounded, accompanied by the screams of many white people. The British made this trick, always listing shooting queues at various gaps, and each time they were broken and planned by the grenades of the guards. While the smoke from the grenades had not yet dissipated, Dean made a gesture and the charge yard rushed in.
The 17 pretended to be the stock and extended magazine was a pistol, with thirty rounds in the magazine, and it could be designed in two minutes. Although it was not as good as a submachine gun, its firepower was not comparable to that of these militias who were not even equipped with brown bass muskets. The militia who had just recovered from the shock of the grenade explosion was knocked down to the ground by the soldiers of the charge platoon using their weapons. The enemies in front were gone, and Dean took the charge platoon and followed the wooden wall stairs.
The enemy who was still fighting against shooting on the wooden wall did not expect that the gap below was so useless and could not hold on for a few minutes. He was caught off guard by the charge of twenty Type 17 pistols. Many people were so scared that they stood up because they were not mentally prepared. Ye Owl's sniper team, plus more than 200 ordinary soldiers, were waiting for this time. Everyone who stood up was shot dead before they could squat down. Dean and others had a very good time to choose, and they just waited for the enemy to shoot before they showed up. The front-loading gun was loaded for too long.
The soldiers of the first battalion rushed in with the charge platoon and began to use buildings, haystacks and carriages and other objects to build blocking positions. There was no defensive facility in the wooden wall. If the enemy cut the back path, the charge platoon would suffer heavy casualties. Although they were only using the Yanhuang bolt-action rifle, they could still form the enemy's fire density. Yadonis frantically ordered his men to rush up to attack the charge platoon, trying to grab a short gun that could be fired continuously.
However, unless the number of people is more than twice as many as the group charges, they cannot avoid the bullets fired by the Yanhuang rifle. When the town is in the distance, both sides are not in the factory and are within the effective range. However, the Yanhuang one has high accuracy and great power. As long as the soldiers show their heads and the enemy is still aiming, they will send the bullets into the target's body. At the back, the militia directly gather fire and shoot, no longer aiming, and are preparing to use the quantity to improve the accuracy.
However, the first battalion of soldiers is the most elite in the guard team. After several battles, they are no longer a novice. Here they gather fire and take advantage of the time of loading bullets, more than a dozen soldiers emerged on the other side, shooting the enemy upside down. With the entry of the Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion, submachine guns and sniper rifles began to show their power. Under the threat of bullets, the militia retreated again and again. Fortunately, Yadunis requisitioned many carriages and used carriages to build a defensive position.
The soldiers of the escort team did not advance and cooperated with the charge platoon led by Dean to strangle the militias isolated by them. Yadonis did not take the lives of these people to heart, as long as the 1,000 private soldiers of the Pandy family were fine. Sam was still more flexible than Dean, and immediately made people shout that they would not kill the gun. The militias from the small town of Sannais threw away their spears and raised their hands to surrender. In this way, Yadonis had more than 600 subordinates.
The town of Sannais does not have much complex military power. Except for the fifty cavalry guards in Yadunis, all of them are musket infantry. Under the leadership of spies who have figured out the situation in the town, the escort soldiers began to detour, and the sniper team members also went to the roof and began to snipe the officers and gunners. Yadunis put some three-pound cannons on the front line and used them as shotguns. This was a method learned from Clark's previous report, which really caused some trouble to the escort soldiers.
However, this trouble was not much. Even the assaulter's mortar did not move, and grenades rolled into or fell from the bottom of the carriage, or from the top of the carriage. Generally speaking, after more than a dozen grenades exploded, an enemy's defense line basically had little combat power. Although Yadonis began to feel a little upset, he was not too worried. After all, in his heart, these militia were used as cannon fodder.
His confidant and searched, and began to build a stronger defensive position with the town mayor's building as the center. In order to prevent the guard from bringing the cannons in, the roads were filled with fragmented obstructions. Three six-pound cannons and five three-pound cannons were rescued and placed behind the defensive position. A night owl's non-commissioned officer squad leader just appeared in front of the position, and the enemy opened fire. Fortunately, he had been able to train hard for more than a year, and his instinct saved his life, lay down like a conditioned reflex, and avoided the enemy's bullets.
The soldiers behind saw the squad leader lying down urgently, and were so scared that they immediately withdrew their steps. More than fifty muskets and bullets were shot to the empty space. They breathed a sigh of relief. Taking this opportunity, they quickly got up and rolled up, and then arrived at the back of the house next to them. More than a thousand people blocked all the ten passages leading to the town mayor's building. After all, Yadonis was still a bit of a good deal, and the fortifications were constructed very well. His men would not expose many body parts to see and shoot outside.
Because it is the mayor's building, in this era when the nobles were in charge of power, there were no tall buildings around. It was difficult for the sniper team to find a good sniper position. Sam and Dean checked for a long time but could not find an offensive method to reduce casualties. If this was a strong attack, either of the elite soldiers of the two battalions would be distressed. Both of them could not think of a way to ask Xiao Lin for tactical guidance. A broken door panel seemed to have loosened due to the vibration and fell down, making a loud noise, which scared Sam and Dean.
Sam thought of the attention of breaking the enemy. He was a man who had participated in the battle to attack the Adams family in Lexington. At that time, the old housekeeper used the bulletproof shield made by the door panel, and the effect was also very good. Since the Adams family was able to do it, why couldn't they do it? Now 70% of Sannais's place is in the hands of the guards. Sam ordered the soldiers to quickly remove the door panels, and some soldiers contributed their marching quilts.
The two door panels were put together, two wet quilts were placed in the middle, and two door panels were placed on them. The wires were penetrated from the civilians and tied them up. Not to mention the protective musket bullets, even six pounds of solid shells, they didn't dare to penetrate them in one go. The soldiers worked together, and in two hours, ten bulletproof shields were made. Ten soldiers carried them and advanced together. Yadunis naturally ordered his men to shoot, but there was no effect.
Before, Yadunis was wondering what the enemy was doing. When these things appeared, he almost slapped himself. He thought the enemy was afraid of attacking, so he went back for lunch and teased Nina and Britney. More than a thousand soldiers under his command did not attack, allowing the guards to easily assemble and manufacture bulletproof shields. When they advanced to the open area, these bulletproof shields were only broken against the enemy's door panel, and it was nothing to do.
The soldiers squatted down, the bulletproof shield descended, and leaked out the guard soldiers who were waiting for battle behind. The sound of the Yanhuang rifle fired, and the enemy fell down instantly.
