Chapter 572 Killing Everywhere
Almost at the moment when the gunfire sounded, the soldiers of the Hushan Battalion in the trenches all tensed up. They all raised their Liao-13 rifles and aimed ahead.
However, they did not open fire immediately, but stared intently at the blood mist-filled Luzhai.
The moment after the first round of shelling, Li He fiercely raised the command knife in his hand.
"put!"
The moment the officer issued the order, Sun Ermao, who had been aiming at the bandit, pulled the trigger. The moment the gunshot rang out, the recoil was felt on his shoulder.
Before the smoke emitted from the muzzle dissipated, Sun Ermao hurriedly put it down, took out a bullet from the tile in front of him, and stuffed it through the muzzle along with the paper case. The flammable bullet now used in the Liao 13-type The paper-cased fixed-loading bombs do not need to tear open the paper package and pour in the gunpowder as in the past. The most important improvement is that the wrapping paper of the fixed-loading bombs has been changed from ordinary tissue paper to flammable paper. As long as it comes into contact with sparks It will burn immediately and burn out together with the gunpowder.
After inserting the entire paper-cased fixed-loading ammunition directly into the muzzle of the gun, Sun Ermao slammed the butt of the gun on the ground twice to ensure that the bullet fell to the bottom of the barrel, and then quickly placed it on the flash cap holder at the rear of the gun. Install the flash cap.
The whole process seems cumbersome, but in fact it only takes three or four seconds. This technology, which was only invented in the late Civil War in history, greatly speeds up the loading. In history, it was supposed to shine, but it was only invented not long ago. The metal bullet case was eliminated in 2000, and now it is its turn to show its power.
As soon as he installed the flash cap, Sun Ermao raised his rifle again and aimed at the bandit in Luzhai. When he pulled the trigger again, through the smoke from the muzzle, he saw the bandit he was aiming at fall down, two meters away. One hundred meters away, although I couldn't see clearly, I could clearly see that the branches of the trees in Luzhai were dyed red in the blood mist.
The red tree branches are extremely eye-catching in the world. Hundreds of corpses are scattered among the tree branches. More bandits are struggling in a pool of blood. They will die soon, but the bandits behind them seem not to be there. As if reacting, they continued to rush through the car wall, waving their swords and axes among the deer villages, and kept dragging the cut branches behind them. Even the hail of bullets that kept falling on them could not stop them.
These thieves in thin clothes were completely indifferent and allowed bullets to hit them. At most, some people were holding broken pot lids, door panels and the like as shields in front of them, but the thin pot lid door panels How could they block the bullet? After the bullet easily penetrated the wooden board, when the distorted projectile penetrated their bodies again, it easily tore apart large pieces of flesh and blood. For a time, there were pools of blood everywhere and they were struggling. The twisted wounded.
Blood was constantly splattering from their wounds, and they could only accept their fate and struggle and cry in the pool of blood. In the cry, their lives were passing away bit by bit...
At the same time, the artillery on the city wall did not slow down the rate of fire. At this distance, the shotgun fired by the Jiujin Mountain Howitzer is best at suppressing infantry, especially those without any armor protection. Its power has been fully exerted.
If there were enough artillery pieces, Zheng Sen could use artillery to repel the bandits, but he did not have enough artillery pieces. Even the 18-pound mortar in his hand was not used now because of the high-explosive grenades. It may destroy Luzhai and turn it into a decoration.
However, under the attack of shotguns and rifles, the bandits paid the price of at least thousands of casualties, but even so, they still chopped the branches desperately, not because they were willing to bear all this, but because of the bright swords and guns behind them. Driving them, if they dare to retreat, they will definitely die.
"Presumably the ant attack on the city is just as brutal as this!"
Looking through the telescope at the bandits who kept falling and coming, and watching them push forward little by little with their lives in Luzhai, Zheng Sen couldn't help but sigh.
"It's almost like a branch and a life..."
The description of the antfu siege in the history books that he had read finally overlapped with reality in Zheng Sen's mind.
It was at this time that the bandits finally cut through Luzhai, and the obstacles in front of them disappeared.
"Everyone aims at the passage and fight!"
Li He ordered loudly.
Without his reminder, Sun Ermao and his brothers all aimed at the enemies pouring into the passage. The enemies poured in like a tide.
"Kill..."
Bandits wielding iron knives and even hoes and sickles shouted and poured into the passage between Luzhai. Those at the front were knocked to the ground continuously, and heavy lead bullets hit them like hammers. As if it penetrated the body, it also knocked the person to the ground.
"ah……"
The injured and fallen people were screaming on the ground, but someone stepped on them. The bandits swarming forward had so many things to care about, and they had only one idea: rush over and rush to the Ming army. Kill them in front of you, and then... they can eat meat and white-flour steamed buns.
For these cannon fodders, many of them were once refugees. The reason why they became homeless thieves is to have a bite of food. Even if they die, as long as they can eat a bite of white flour steamed buns before they die, they will be satisfied. …
The thieves who swarmed up did not care about the rain of bullets flying in front of them. They rushed over desperately. Li Dahu, who was rushing through the crowd, had just taken a few steps when the person in front screamed and fell down. , he grabbed the man and pushed him forward. The other person's body became his shield, bullets kept hitting the body, protecting him and successfully rushed through the passage between Luzhai. In front of you is a broad land of nearly 100 meters. In front of the unobstructed broad land is another deer village!
The deer village made of low tree branches just stood in front of them. More bandits poured into this open land. Just as they were shouting and heading towards the deer village, Zheng Sen on the city wall sneered.
"fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the 18-pound mortar that had been silent began to sing joyfully. Compared with the roar of the mountain howitzer, its roar was louder. The deafening sound of the gun even reached the trenches ahead and reached On the broad land between two deer villages.
While the thieves were startled by its sound, the shell roared down. The moment the shell hit the ground and exploded, a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised, and countless sharp steel fragments roared in the air towards the surrounding areas. , those fragments of different shapes, large and small, penetrated the bodies of the thieves and tore off their arms and thighs, and some were even blown to pieces on the spot.
Looking at the battlefield shrouded in explosion smoke, Zheng Sen raised the corners of his lips and revealed a sneer.
This is exactly the trap he set for the bandits. Compared to the bandits, his military strength is too limited. He can only defeat more than 3,000 people, and the infantry only has more than 2,000 people. How can he defeat the bandits with so many people? Those bandits often attack with tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
If you want to deal with the human sea tactic, you have to find a way!
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had planned to let the enemies in first, let them enter between the two deer villages, let them turn into caged rats, and then slowly deal with them. Therefore, before the flow of thieves charge, When the bandits were destroying Luzhai, he only ordered to fire shotguns. What he was waiting for was for the bandits to enter the rat cage, and then... If they wanted to rush in front of him, they had to break through the enemy in front of them. If Luzhai wants to retreat, they can only retreat through the passage that is about ten feet wide. What is certain is that when they retreat, they will also need to leave corpses on the ground.
The firing timing of the artillery is very particular. Zheng Sen has made many calculations and conducted many drills to fully grasp the firing timing of the artillery to ensure the maximum effect of the artillery strike.
Seeing the thieves being blown up into the sky in the explosion, and seeing the infantrymen greeting them with bullets, Tao Fengyang sneered:
Chapter completed!
