Yue Tuo was attacked by the Ming army's explosive bullets. Apart from running away and giving up the siege, he had only one choice, which was to move forward and run into the blind area of the artillery. It was about three hundred steps away from the head of the city. It was too close for artillery, and too far for flintlock. It was an out-and-out blind spot.
Of course, Yue Tuo was unwilling to retreat. If he retreats now, it would be a strategic failure, and it would have dealt a great blow to the military's morale. The superiority of the heart that Da Jin Nation has accumulated over the Ming army over the past decade may be ruined in his hands. As soon as, moreover, the sacrifice made by Halleha in front of him is meaningless, "Bring on the shield and rush forward. There is a blind spot for the artillery."
Yue Tuo’s war horse has fallen. He snatched a white war horse from the soldiers. He stretched his left foot into the saddle, grabbed the horse's mane with both hands, and flew up with his right foot on the ground, with his legs clamped into the belly of the horse, like flying. Drove forward as usual.
The Jurchen soldiers were all on the horse. Except for the injured and fallen horses, they also followed Yue Tuo's appearance, beating horses like flying, and attacking Jinzhou City.
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
"Boom... Long."
…
The Ming army began a new wave of shelling.
After shelling Yue Tuo just now, the artillery of the Ming Army quickly lowered the muzzle to reduce the range. If Jianu charges and just enters the range of the artillery, if Jianu wants to escape, the gunners have no choice. The shooting just now is the range limit of the artillery.
This time Yue Tuo's entire army moved, three Jiala, a total of fifteen full-staff Niu Lu, four thousand and five hundred soldiers.
The blackness, the dust and whirlwind brought up by the cavalry when they hit, and the vibration caused by the horse's hoof on the ground, the momentum is too scary.
However, the larger the number, the greater the blow. The Ming army’s artillery didn’t need to aim at all. As long as the artillery shells were shot out, the artillery shells would arouse blood in any place.
The screams of the wounded soldiers have long been inaudible. The "da da" sound of horseshoes and the "bang" sound of artillery have covered everything. The cavalry on horseback is not much better. If you don't pay attention, you may be taken off. The stumps, pieces of meat, pillars of blood and even the air waves from the explosion of the flower bomb overturned the horse and became a stepping stone for the horse.
From 1,500 steps to 300 steps, only a short 1,200 steps, Jiannu Ma is fast, although it was shelled, the speed was slightly slowed down, but after the Ming army fired two rounds of shells, Jiannu’s front The Ministry has entered the blind zone of blooming bullets.
Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand, and the gunners stopped loading the bombs.
Haleha's shield array has entered the range of the bow and arrow, and the slave soldiers hiding in the array began to throw arrows at the city. The shield in front blocked the sight of the Jian slave soldiers, and they could only blindly throw at the city.
This is the most helpless moment for the gunmen. Shoot. The flintlock can't penetrate the shield. It can only scare Jianu. It's basically a waste of bullets. Don't shoot. Jianu, without any pressure, Will soon attack the head of the city.
If there is a hand-to-hand fight, the Ming army is far from an opponent to build slaves, even if it has a numerical advantage.
A wolf is a wolf. Even if a wolf breaks into the flock, no matter whether it can catch its prey or not, it will be able to retreat completely.
If there is a hand-to-hand fight, the individual soldier who builds a slave is a wolf, and the soldier of the Ming army is a flock of sheep.
The slave-building soldiers have put seven intact ladders against the city wall.
Haleha has decided that he wants to be the first to board Jinzhou City to make atonement for his loss of soldiers to Changshengtian.
There are more than four hundred soldiers in Haleha. Except for two hundred archers hiding in the shield formation and shooting arrows at the city, the rest of the soldiers started to climb up the ladder with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.
The Ming army hid in the bunker of the low wall, and only the soldiers from the periphery used flintlocks to stop them.
"Military seat, Jiannu has been on the ladder."
"Throw grenade." Yuan Chonghuan shouted loudly.
The soldiers on the outer edge of the bunker did not leave the bunker, but tore off the fuse of the grenade. After a delay of one or two seconds, they threw them down the city.
"Boom... boom..."
Before the grenade hit the ground, it exploded near the head and chest of the Jian slave soldier.
"Ah... Ah..."
The grenades were thrown blindly, but the number of grenades thrown was large and uninterrupted. The slaves on the seven ladders all had casualties. The casualties rolled down and knocked over the soldiers below.
When the slave building was in chaos, seven Ming soldiers took out a grenades bundle composed of twenty grenades. After pulling out the leads, they rushed out of the bunker and threw the grenades bundle toward the ladder. Xiaoxian was the first to rush out. Bunker.
"Boom... boom..."
After several loud noises, the earth was trembling in the bunker.
"It's hit, it's hit." The observer shouted with excitement, "Military seat, two steps of the ladder were blown up."
An aerial ladder was blown up by Xiaoxian. The grenades he threw just fell on the rungs of the ladder. The falling trend stopped abruptly, and then fell to the rungs below. At this time, the grenades exploded. .
The huge impact directly exploded the ladder into three sections. After the top section collided with the city wall, it fell backwards, and also suppressed the two Jian slaves below.
When the other grenade bundle was thrown out, there was a Jian slave on the ladder. The grenade bundle happened to be thrown into his arms. The Jian slave soldier hugged the grenade bundle, and heard the sound of "chichi". Mya, I was about to throw the grenades out.
All his attention was on the grenades. Unexpectedly, the soles of his feet slipped, and he stepped on the air, and fell from the ladder.
This Jiannu was very unlucky. When he fell from the middle of the rung, his armpit was hung on the rung of the ladder, and his body was suspended in the air.
At this moment, the grenades exploded.
The hapless soldier, his upper body was broken into countless pieces, his blood was wrapped in muscles and bones flying all over the sky, his lower body floated in the air for a while, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The grenades exploded on the rungs of the ladder, and several rungs were blown apart, and most of the supporting wood on one side was also blown away. This ladder can no longer be used for the time being.
"Xiaoxian, good job, you have done a good job." Yuan Chonghuan stretched out his thumb to Xiaoxian.
After losing two more steps of the ladder, Yue Tuo was anxious. If all the ladders were destroyed, he would not be able to attack the city today.
"Axibao, take your soldiers, go up, anyway, protect the ladder."
Axibao is another Jiala Erzhen under Yue Tuo. Like the original Haleha, he has five Niulu and 1,500 soldiers.
Seeing that Haleha lost his army again, Asibao could not bear it for a long time. After receiving Yue Tuo's order, he immediately formed a shield formation, followed the example of Haleha, and marched towards the city wall.
"Boom... Long..."
The Ming army's artillery sounded again.
Axibao was taken aback by the loud noise. Isn't this a blind spot for artillery? The Ming army is now firing cannons, is it just to scare themselves
Axibao soon discovered that he was wrong. One by one, solid bullets hit the shield, or directly smashed into the shield formation, and then passed through the shield formation.
The solid bullet will not explode, and its lethality is far inferior to that of the flower bullet, but the solid bullet contains huge kinetic energy and great momentum.
If the solid bullet hits the shield directly, the wooden shield will immediately shatter, and the soldiers behind the shield will also be hit and bloodied. The shield and physical strength cannot offset the huge energy of the solid bullet.
If the solid bullet hits the shield array directly, it will jump forward backwards, and all the soldiers will be pushed cleanly in the straight line it passes.
Not many Jiannu died, but many were injured. What's more terrible is that the shield formation was rushed to pieces by solid bullets, leaving a hole for the flintlock shot.
"How could the artillery of the Ming Army shoot within three hundred paces?" Yue Tuo had the desire to die. The range of the Ming Army's blooming projectile was far beyond his imagination, and the range of the Ming Army's solid projectile was as close as possible. As much as he imagined.
The artillery that fired solid rounds at the head of Jinzhou City was actually called the Huju Cannon, and it was deployed by Yue Tuo himself, but he never expected that the Huju Cannon could hit so close.
The Tiger Cannon is a small artillery, not much larger than the later mountain artillery. Therefore, it is very convenient to move and transport. The Ming army once deployed a large number of Tiger Cannons in eastern Liaoning.
After the Ming army was defeated in Liaodong, these tiger cannons fell into Jiannu's hands, but Jiannu would not use tiger cannons, and other places could not use tiger cannons, so Yue Tuo put these tiger cannons. Deployed in cities in eastern Liaoning.
After Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Ningyuan, he heard Li Xing say that the flintlock can't penetrate Jianu's shield, so he thought of the tiger's cannon.
He raised the back seat of the Tiger Cannon with big rocks, and the front support frame remained unchanged, so that the muzzle would be pressed down and the range of the Tiger Cannon would be shortened.
The gunmen of the Ming Army did not let go of this rare opportunity, and the dense bullets shot at each dilapidated shield array.
The greater the casualties of the shield hand of slave building, the greater the loopholes in the shield formation, and the greater the loopholes, the greater the casualties, a vicious circle.
Fortunately, after Ashbao had 1,500 soldiers, and hundreds of soldiers were killed or wounded, Jiannu finally entered the range of bow and arrow.
Since the shield formation couldn't stop the flintlock, Azipao simply ordered the soldiers to put down their shields and all arrows to the city.
The gunmen had no retreat. If they withdrew from the top of the city to avoid the arrow rain at this time, so many slaves would soon climb to the top of the city. That would be the end of the Ming army.
The gunmen without any protective measures used the cover of the parapet to shoot at the slaves under the city.
This is the confrontation between the flintlock gun and the bow and arrow, and also the confrontation between Yuan Chonghuan and Yue Tuo's will. There is no way back for both sides.
"Bang... bang... bang..."
"Swish...wish...wish..."
Tiger Cannon has stopped firing, this is the real blind spot of Tiger Cannon.
There are three thousand Ming troops on the head of the city, and one thousand and five hundred soldiers from the Great Golden Kingdom are under the city.
Soldiers of the Ming Army wanted to avoid arrows and couldn't shoot in groups at all. Yuan Chonghuan sighed secretly: The training of the Ming army is still not enough. If they can ignore the arrow rain and take turns as usual, the three thousand Ming army will be able to win the slaves under the city in five minutes.
Yue Tuo was also helpless. Not only did the Ming army stand high, but also had the protection of the city wall. If it were on flat ground, with the speed of the Jurchen soldiers shooting arrows and the usual group shooting habits, even if the Ming army stood in front of tens of thousands, it would be tens of thousands. In the blink of an eye.
Now it is not a round of shooting. There are no more than 3,000 gunmen standing on the head of the city, and less than 2,000 soldiers are actually involved in the shooting. Every time a soldier falls, the soldiers behind will make up for it.
"The six hundredth place!" Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers silently counted the Ming army gunmen who had been replaced, his heart was numb.
