Chapter 190 [Cannon Stone Shows Prestige]
Qionghai, Baishakou Beach, warships stood on the sea, and dozens of sampans followed the rolling waves, breaking through the waves and rushing towards the beach.
When it was still a hundred meters away from the beach, a long horn sounded, and five hundred shirtless men stood up at the same time, roared in unison, and jumped into the shallows. In an instant, the waves splashed, and the earth-shaking roar could not even suppress the surging waves.
While running rapidly, a long string of white lines was drawn behind each person, and white strips were stranded in five hundred waves.
The five hundred soldiers dared to fight were all warriors, including gunpowders, crossbowmen, musketeers, and swords and axes. However, at this moment, their military attributes were completely unaware of, because everyone was naked. All the weapons and armor were wrapped in oil cloth covers, and camels were on the back. No matter whether they were bows, arrows, gunpowder, or leather armor, they could not touch water. The sea water was corrosive to iron weapons such as swords and guns, and they were also unable to touch. Therefore, when everyone landed on the beach, they stripped themselves naked.
Zhang Ba's burly figure is also among these five hundred daring warriors.
At this time, the Song Dynasty commander was wearing only one pair of calves, with kneaded muscles all over, two large pectoral muscles, furry chests, and a large machete carrying them on their shoulders. The fierce and vicious look made people swell up their calves and they were timid before they could fight.
Behind Zhang Ba, breathlessly followed his four trusted guards. One of them was carrying Zhang Ba's 40 kilograms of copper armor and helmet, one carried Zhang Ba's long-handled bent knife, one held two iron infantry next to each other, and one crossed two guns with a crossed cross-back, one was a flintlock rifle, and the other was a pistol that was as thick as a chest bag with a strap on his chest, which was a double-tube short-tube hunting rifle.
Of course, this short-barrel hunting rifle was not from this guard, but from Zhang Ba.
There is an invisible benefit in the Dragon Que Army. Any general or above who are commanding can be issued a pistol. The gun type is optional, which is considered a symbol of a senior officer. Zhang Ba saw the domineering double-barrel short-barrel hunting rifle at a glance. After a try, he liked this powerful melee weapon very much.
As Zhang Ba's commander, he didn't need to participate in this extremely dangerous rushing battle in person, but Zhang Ba insisted on doing so. Because he had never commanded musketeers before, nor had he commanded joint combat of hot and cold weapons. He only went through less than a month of training in the Wan'an Army, and had a thorough theory and simple drilling. As a general who has experienced many battles, Zhang Ba knew very well that he was not a Confucian general or a wise general, and he dared to fight and rush. All his experience had to come from actual combat. If he didn't rush to the front line and had no experience value, how could he command the troops in the future?
Zhang Ba's deputy general was Chang Tai, who was prepared to be promoted and transferred to the new recruit battalion as the chief officer due to his military achievements in Yacheng. Chang Tai was born in the old camp and Polu camp and had rich experience in commanding musketeers. As a boss, Zhang Ba did not have experience in this area. How could he afford to lose face? It would be fine if he had no chance to fight before, but he could not be anxious. Now he has the opportunity, and if he still hides behind and is an outsider watching the fun. I guess he would have to go wherever he got after the battle.
As five hundred naked men rushed to the beach, they didn't bother to wipe their bodies, and immediately smashed the package on their backs into the sand. As the sand and dust flew, they took out their clothes and weapons. Under the sunlight, the cold light shone everywhere, and they were shocked.
However, in just half a moment, almost all the soldiers were well-dressed and dressed in uniform. In fact, most of the soldiers were only dressed without armor, only a few generals, heavy swords, axes, and musketeers were armored. After all, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Mongolian Yuan, the national strength was limited, and the armor equipment could not cover the most ordinary soldiers.
With a sound of yelling, the soldiers gathered one after another. The five hundred battle soldiers who rushed to the battlefield this time were half of Zhang Ba's combat power. The ones at the front were the card players, the musketeers in the middle, the crossbowmen behind, and the last were the sword and axe soldiers. Most of the sword and axe soldiers were Zhang Ba's personal soldiers, both the main force in melee combat and the supervising soldiers, but if there were any orders to retreat, they would be killed on the spot.
When the soldiers gathered in an array, hundreds of boatmen rowing behind them pushed dozens of sampans onto the beach along the waves, and then carried a bamboo ladder about three meters long from each sampan. With a shout, he carried the ladder and rushed towards the cliff wall standing like a wall.
Although there are three paths on the cliff, everyone knows that it is a trap. If hundreds of people flock into the path, it will become a living target.
In a blink of an eye, a hundred steps passed by. The boatmen leaned on the cliff, then turned around quickly, running back desperately, and each face showed an expression of ecstasy. As long as they could successfully place the ladder on the cliff, each of them could get a drink, ten kilograms of meat, three liters of rice after they returned - now they got all of them.
Almost as the boatmen had just put on the long ladder, they put on copper armor and iron-clad Zhang Ba's big sword, pointed forward, and shouted a tiger's roar: "Run!"
Zhang Ba was the first to rush out, followed by four personal guards, followed by deputy general Chang Tai, then one hundred spear-card soldiers, one hundred musketeers, two hundred crossbowmen, and one hundred swords and axes.
Five hundred men rolled up a storm, sand and dust were flying, and the sea breeze blew, rolling like fog.
In this sand fog, five hundred soldiers rushed, hundreds of ship workers fled, and the two sides passed by.
Just as the two crowds intersected, two muffled sounds of bulging sounds came from the sky, and two huge stone balls roared from the sky... Bang bang, one ball fell into a deep pit on the beach, and the sand and dust rose more than one meter high. The other ball was unbiased, smashing a running boatman from the head to the feet. The boatman didn't even have time to scream, and suddenly turned into a pile of meat sauce that no one could recognize...
The bloody scene caused more than a dozen new recruits to fall into the ground and spit out on the spot. Several knives and axes rushed over and kicked the new recruits over: "You can get up within three breaths and rush up! One, two, three!"
Almost all the recruits rolled and climbed up, covered their mouths and ran forward. In the meantime, one passed by the flesh-stained stone ball, his feet weakened and he knelt directly. Before he could struggle, the strong wind striking his neck-
"No..." Blood light burst out and his head flew up.
In the landing battle, the first casualties were killed by military law! The seventeen bans were killed by fifty-four, which is really not a joke.
With the emergence of these two stone bombs, the five-stop cannons of the Yuan army in the enemy building began to show their power. Although there were only four five-stop cannons, and an average of more than ten bucks were fired at intervals, the lethality of this type of high-altitude falling object weighing dozens of kilograms was too terrifying. If it was not hit, it would be like a slaughterhouse. Even if it was wiped by the body, it would be enough to scrape off a layer of flesh...
Zhang Ba ignored the bloody scene, stepped on the ladder, took two steps in three steps, and then leaped onto the cliff, and suddenly became dark on his head... Zhang Ba's blood suddenly solidified and his hands and feet were cold. At this moment, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Huh! The wind behind my head made my scalp numb, and there was a loud bang behind me. Looking back, I saw the ladder shattering, and the personal guard who had followed him for many years was interrupted in the waist and died tragically on the spot.
The other three guards climbed up from the ladders on both sides. Seeing this tragic situation, they were both shocked and sad, and immediately protected Zhang Batuan: "Master, it's too dangerous, retreat quickly..."
"Take your mother's x!" Zhang Ba roared angrily, slashed with a big knife, "Go to me!"
Five hundred warriors rushed up, climbed up the ladder, climbed up the cliff, finally closed the ladder, and attacked the enemy towers on both sides and the left and right.
Zhao Lie did not put down his sight for a moment. In the camera, stone bullets flew out from the enemy building on both sides and left and right, spiraling in the air, falling down with a terrifying whistling sound. Although the hit rate is not high, the momentum is terrifying, which puts great psychological pressure on any charge soldier.
Soon, the soldiers surrounded the enemy building and set up ladders to launch an attack.
Yuan soldiers also appeared on the enemy's tower, resisting guard with bows, crossbows and stones. A row of musketeers fired, and the fireworks scattered, and the Yuan soldiers fell like ants. Then a team of Yuan soldiers emerged, lying behind the mercedes and counterattacked with bows and crossbows.
The fighting between the two armies began.
Here, Qiongguan City also made a shocking loud bang, and larger and heavier missiles roared down, which made the recruits scream. The musketeers were slow to move, and the crossbowmen were not shooting accurately. Even the spearmen kept looking up at the flying stones in the air when charging, for fear of falling...
Although the missile hit rate is extremely low, those who hit will die. Few people can calmly use their skills and tactics in this state of death circling above their heads - at least these newly reorganized recruits are not good!
Zhao Lie put down his sight and sighed slightly: "Sing the gold, stop the army."
