197. The Battle of the Block
When the sun rises, it shines on my back warmly, as full of strength as my heart.
At dawn, when Hashiba Hideyoshi saw that the strength of our mountain was very limited and his troops were several times that of me, he immediately ordered to attack the mountain!
The reinforcements from Shibata Katsuya in the distance and the brigade of Hashiba Hideyoshi in front of him came across the mountain, and both sides just couldn't see each other.
The only difference is that last night, I had asked Sakuma Moemasa to bring a message to Shibada Katsuya. Shibada Katsuya actually had a more information about Qingming Festival than Hideyoshi.
So at this time, although our coalition forces were anxious with Hideyoshi, we were not very worried in our hearts because we had no reason to panic with our backs against the big tree.
I raised my gun and looked at the enemy at the foot of the mountain through the simple sight. As soon as an enemy warrior showed his head from behind the huge rock, I decisively fired the trigger!
The bullet roared through the sky, flew over a distance of more than a hundred meters, and hit the warrior's Adam's apple!
Suddenly a stoop of blood hit his back of his neck! The warrior rushed forward with inertia and then fell heavily to the ground!
His fall made the people around me panic. I secretly calculated the trajectory in my heart and looked down. It was indeed a precise hit. After considering the distance, I raised my muzzle slightly, so I aimed at the abdomen and hit the neck. It seemed that I should aim directly without adding corrections!
I raised my head and looked at an archer in front. The feathers on his helmet were tilted to the right, and the archers around me were the same. I thought to myself, North wind! The ballistic should be slightly corrected to the left.
When I was studying sniping in my previous life, I had studied wind direction very seriously. Generally speaking, long-distance shooting requires correction of wind deviation, but it is divided into wind deviation and wind deviation.
The most commonly used one is to go against the wind. In short, if the bullet hits against the wind, or there is lateral wind during the flight of the bullet, the bullet will shift towards the direction of the wind. In short, because the wind will cause the bullet to deviate from the aiming position. At this time, you must move the muzzle slightly against the wind. The bullet's bounce point will slightly be tilted towards the wind than the pre-sighted position, and finally reach the expected target.
The wind-facing situation is relatively rare, mainly seen when shooting rocket launchers and other tail ammunition. Because the * warhead is heavier than the tail, and affected by the wind, the tail of the warhead will shift more than the warhead in the direction of the wind, and the warhead will shift in the direction of the wind.
This will form a strange phenomenon, which will fly in the direction of the wind. The stronger the wind, the more it will shift towards the direction of the wind. At this time, you must adjust the aiming position along the wind direction to achieve the purpose of precise aiming.
I was chanting the mantras in my heart, but in fact there was no need. Shooting has become a habit for me, but for some reason, when I was shooting in this life, I always like to chant words, which seemed to have become a hobby, and sometimes I was puzzled by myself.
I always feel that I have seen this scene somewhere. If I think about it carefully, it is the American blockbuster "Save the Private Ryan" I watched in my previous life. When Normandy landed, the sniper played by the elf prince Orlando Bloom would recite the Bible sentences in the air for every shot. I now find that doing so is indeed helpful to make people feel more calm. I don’t know if it is a psychological factor...
Another shot came down, knocking down a rattan soldier who was rushing up the mountain with a shield. I didn't aim at his upper body because it was covered by the shield as a whole, so I hit his only exposed ankle!
After a shot, he fell down dejectedly, rolled down gruntly, knocking down a large number of people! The enemy's offensive at that position suddenly slowed down.
This effect is much better than hitting and killing directly. In addition to knocking down other enemies, the wail of the wounded will also increase the burden on others, and the impact will be less determined! Moreover, some people with good relationships will run over to rescue the wounded, which will give us a good opportunity to surround and hit the enemy!
So I shouted, "Don't hit the vitals! Try to hit the leg!"
After hearing my shouts, all the shooters had two different attitudes - the shooters led by Chi immediately began to shoot non-lethal positions such as the enemy's thighs and calves, while Shigehiro Suzuki still aimed at the enemy's key points as much as possible.
However, after a burst of shooting, more and more wounded people on the mountain, and the enemy's attack speed was significantly slowed down. These shooters were not stupid, they all knew that this was the wounded person who suffered non-fatal injuries slowed down the enemy's speed. Thinking of the upcoming reinforcements of Shibata Katsuya behind them, they understood what I thought and gradually began to aim at non-fatal positions to shoot!
I sneered in my heart. The ignorant and arrogant group had not failed without reason. I was superstitious about technology, persistent in perfection, and did not obey commands. Such people were at best an excellent shooter, but would not become a commander, and even excellent team members were not considered an excellent team member. At this point, Zhi performed much better than them.
Of course, there are also issues related to the distance. Everyone has the right to choose their own approach, right? So I don’t force them to obey my orders. As for whether they can be completely eliminated in the future, it depends on their understanding and opportunities.
In the previous life, Sun Yat-sen and a group of prophets and enlightened people, led a group of those who knew later, overthrew the Qing Dynasty without realizing it. I guess he was in this mood at that time.
Slowly, the enemies on the hillside began to gather in small groups. After careful observation, there were two reasons. On the one hand, they wanted to carry down the injured but not dead friendly forces, but in order to save one person, more people were injured and killed. After all, surrounding the point of attacking aid was a shooting tactic in later generations, and using it here is a bit of a bullying.
On the other hand, they wanted to enjoy the treatment of cover more - there were usually at least one or two shield players at the gathering points, and the people behind them were rushing up the mountain under the cover of shields!
The solution is right, but unfortunately, we are not an attack point on the mountain, but an attack line!
Seeing the other party’s response, I called out: “Zhi!”
Zhi immediately ran over with a musket. I pointed to the two corners of the top of the mountain with both hands and shouted to him: "Divide your people into two teams, occupy these two positions, don't hit the enemy directly opposite, hit the diagonal! Do you understand?"
As I said that, I gestured with both hands to shoot with my cross-fire. Zhi's eyes lit up, he nodded immediately, ran out and shouted to divide the team.
This time, Shigehiro Suzuki learned to be smart. When I asked Zhi to divide the team in this way, they quickly divided the personnel into two according to the method, and together with Zhi, they occupied the high points on both sides of the top of the mountain. In this way, our design line changed from the original "one" self-form to an "X" shape!
This simple change immediately made Hideyoshi Hashiba's team suffer. Originally, they thought they had found a reasonable way to deal with it. Under the cover of the shield, they half-squatted up the mountain, which seemed to be very effective. But at this time, when the formation changed, the enemy's firepower faced immediately turned into a line! Bullets flew over there, so there were wailing again on the mountain!
Hashiba Hideyoshi hid behind the continuous iron shield at the foot of the mountain and showed her head slightly. Looking at the scene on the mountain, she saw that although she was several times more than the enemy, she could not attack for a long time. She suddenly felt very anxious.
What is the most precious thing in the battle situation at this time? Time! The work was suddenly hit by the enemy reinforcements. I didn’t know how many enemies there were in a hurry. I just thought it was the enemy’s main force, so I took a defensive stance. As a result, the enemy did not attack, but was very harmonious. When I saw this morning, the flag on the top of the mountain was not only Sakuma Katsuma's black flag, but also had a big flag with the word "Sun" written on it. I knew I was here.
But Hideyoshi also knew that I would not have too many people. He sent people across the mountain to watch it. The top of the mountain was only a few thousand people larger. When he gathered his team, his troops had exceeded 50,000! It was six or seven times more than ours!
"The Art of War Plan" says: "If you have ten times the enemy, you will surround it, if you have five times the enemy, you will attack it, if you have multiples, you will fight it, if you have fewer, you will be able to defend it, if you are worse, you will be able to avoid it." This means the principle of using troops. If you have ten times the enemy's strength, you will be able to surround the enemy, if you have five times the enemy's strength, you will be able to attack the enemy, if you have twice the enemy's strength, you will be able to try to disperse the enemy, if you have equal strength, you will be able to defeat the enemy, if you have fewer troops than the enemy, you will be able to retreat, if you have less strength than the enemy, you will be able to avoid decisive battles.
So Hideyoshi's siege attack on us was completely reasonable, but we had a good location and had an advantage in firepower, so his offensive was hindered.
But the one who can't wait for the most is Hideyoshi! The main force of Shibata Katsuya's army was still eyeing the rear. It turned out that neither side expected that the decisive battle would come so early. Therefore, according to the horse survey report, at least two hours ago, Shibata's army was still standing still. However, the latest report report said that Shibata Katsuya had already begun to set up the camp. It was almost certain that he came here just thinking about this battlefield!
If he could take down the team on the mountain before he arrived, Hashiba Hideyoshi said in his heart that it would be like cutting off Shibata Katsuki! Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!
Hashiba Hideyoshi's heart was so clear that she suddenly came out from behind the iron shield, and pointed to the top of the mountain, shouting: "Charge! Charge! Iron Cannon Shoot!" As he said that, he also ran forward!
Seeing that Hideyoshi had all started charging, the soldiers under his command immediately rushed up to the top of the mountain with a desperate attempt! Hideyoshi shouted in the formation: "Come on! Catch!" But he disappeared into the vast sea of people without realizing it...
As a result, our pressure increased greatly! Almost as soon as an enemy was defeated, the person behind stepped on the person in front and rushed out about ten meters. After loading bullets, the enemy's front line could often advance a lot!
If we follow this trend, we are afraid that the enemy will soon be able to rush to this mountain! When the hand-to-hand combat is reached, the number will become a key factor! When the enemy approaches a little and the musket can hit us, we will start to shoot continuously. The casualties of our shots will gradually appear, increasing, and the musketeers will die, so it will not work if this continues!
I gave Sakuma Shengmaru a wink. He understood what I meant, and immediately shouted and sent a team of shield players to squat in front of the musketeers, forming a shield wall. The musketeers began to shoot in the gaps between the shield walls!
We must not let them come up! I thought to myself, but the fire was even more violent. At this time, we were condescending and taking advantage of the time and place. In addition to gunfire and rain of arrows, I also ordered all non-range soldiers to put down their weapons - except for the first row of shield players, the rest of them began to throw rocks down the mountain together!
The stone was picked up everywhere last night. I checked it before dawn. The big ones in the stone were left with helmets, and the small ones were the size of fists. The soldiers knew that the more prepared before the war, the smaller the losses during the war, so they almost brought everything that could move on the mountain last night! For a moment, the stones smashed down like rain, and there was another wailing sound on the hillside!
Last night, I asked Sakuma Shengzheng to send a team of footballers - of course, I also asked Lan Xiang to select 200 strong soldiers, collect everyone's water bags, and go to the mountainside overnight to fill the water to prevent the enemy from surrounding him and causing the water to be cut off. By dawn, everything can be said to be ready and you can fight at any time.
At this time, these preparations came in handy, and the enemy indeed occupied the water source. If they had not prepared last night, they would be afraid that just thirst would make people scratch their heads.
There was a tug-of-war state on the battlefield. Hideyoshi's front advanced a little and was repelled back a little, but in general, it was still slowly pressing towards the top of the mountain! This is the result of absolute quantity and has nothing to do with the tactics!
During the shooting, I looked back and looked away. I could no longer see Shibata Katsuya's team. It seemed that they had already arrived nearby and were blocked by the mountain!
Chapter completed!
