Chapter 195: Swords and guns kill like a forest(1/2)
"My ears were feverish and deaf when I was a child, and I couldn't hear any movement. I'll give you my support first. Wait for a while when the lord gives orders, you can push me."
The rain of arrows hit, and when the bow and musketeer and the stone caster were anxious, a strong young man came directly with a big shield to protect everyone's lives.
His shield and his body were like a mountain protecting everyone.
Twist. Arrow
The cluster kept shooting on the shield, but the young and strong man held the shield tightly, and there was no casualty soldier around.
By the end of the rain of arrows, a stone thrower gently pushed his shoulder, indicating that he could retreat.
Seeing that the green and strong body as big as a mountain swayed, it fell to the ground with a clang.
The giant shield he was pressing with his shoulders and head had long been shot through, and an arrow shot through his head, but he still maintained a protective posture until his death."
Brother, you!"
All the robes were red in their eyes, and they carried their brother's body to the rear.
"Damn beast!"
The archer was desperate and practiced to shoot several arrows at the advancing enemy army, all of which hit the enemy's head and killed one arrow.
He was not relieved yet, and he was about to fire the musket on his back."
Bastard! Is this brother saving your life by death just to make you disrespect the military order?” A small flag with arrow clusters on his shoulders that had not yet been dealt with. Seeing the chaos, he hurried over.
The archer knelt on the ground and cried, "Boss, Erzhuzi died miserably, I feel uncomfortable. He has passed the gunner assessment and can be an artillery in a few days. All four girls in his family have lived a good life. In order to save us, they are all gone."
Xiaoqi naturally knew about Erzhuzi and was very sad.
The archer kicked and scolded: "Erzhuzi died miserably. We should fight harder. Don't let him look down on us in the world! You kid keep your head first. After the war, you will have your own military discipline department to cause trouble for you!"
A similar scene was seen by the general Chang Mao, who was in charge of the command, but at this moment, he didn't care about the outstanding military mountain soldiers who died."
The enemy's infantry approached the camp wall. The archers and musketeers changed the musketeers, and the shield soldiers were responsible for carrying the dead people under the camp wall."
Mao calmly issued the general order, and the soldiers of Junshan from Junshan also calmly fulfilled the general order. The archers jumped off the camp wall and took their steps forward instead of their musketeers. The musketeers in their hands aimed at the infantrymen of the Zhang family who were getting closer and closer to the camp wall. During this period, Junshan shield soldiers quickly transported the corpse of Tongze who had died in the rain of arrows down the camp wall to prevent the corpse from occupying the position.
During this period, the shield soldiers who used layers of shields to strictly protect Zhu Zhen and Hu Er and others also dispersed one after another.
Be careful." Hu Er held up a shield to protect Zhu Zhen at the first time, for fear that the enemy would suddenly launch another wave of bows and arrows.
It's okay." Zhu
Zhen gently pushed Hu Er away because he discovered that the enemy formation far outside the camp, the longbowman phalanx that acted as the left and right wings, had slowly retreated to the rear for a distance.
This means that the longbowmen of the Zhang family coalition have no energy to shoot arrows for the time being, so Zhu Zhendao was not worried that the enemy would "sneak attack" them again.
Yes, it's a sneak attack.
Although Zhu Zhen did not know that the enemy general who was commanding the war was Zhang Xiulin, nor did he know this person, this did not prevent him from being more respectful to Zhang Xiulin.
How incredible it is to attack the enemy in a prestigious battlefield!
It was Zhang Xiulin who did it.
Zhang Xiulin used 5,000 Zhang family infantry to attract the military mountain soldiers on the wall of the Junshan camp. When the latter shot the five thousand Zhang family infantry with a crossbow, Zhang Xiulin quietly changed the formation of the army and placed the two battalions of 10,000 Zhang family elder archers on the left and right wings. Then, under the guise of the entire army advancing towards the Junshan Mountain, the 10,000 Zhang family elder archers stood at a sufficient range.
Then, the Rockets hit the finale.
"The Zhang family in most capitals is indeed well-known. If these people sincerely assisted the Northern Yuan Dynasty, we Han people will not know when we will work hard for the great achievements." Zhu
Zhen sighed sincerely that he was not complacent about his insight into Zhang Xiulin's intentions. Instead, he was afraid, because if he had not noticed Zhang Xiulin's trick just now, he believed that there would be corpses everywhere on the walls of the Junshan Camp at this moment.
Of course, Zhu Muying, one of the generals in Junshan, had already looked angry and full of anger.
"Shameful! It's simply shameful!"
Although Zhu Muying was not famous in Yingtian, she was a military general who was good at war in the young area. How could she not understand Zhang Xiulin's intentions at this point? But he could not accept Zhang Xiulin's "shameful" approach.
Mu Ying's opinion is that in any war, there will be casualties. Every soldier and general trained by his side may be killed in a war. This is understandable. After all, how can one not die in a war?
Yes, in order to achieve tactical goals, Zhu Muying deliberately asked his soldiers to die, and was buried with him as bait. This is something that Zhu Muying could never accept.
It is the difference in values between the orthodox generals of Junshan and the generals of the Zhang family coalition."
The Zhang family... is really not worthy of being a general!" Hu Er cursed with anger on his face. He sincerely felt inexplicably angry for the outstanding military soldiers under his command, who died at the hands of the Chu general like Zhang Xiulin, who was "not worthy of being a general".
There is no such strong resentment. In his opinion, on the battlefield, everyone is willing to do everything by life and death. Any tactic that can serve the ultimate goal of victory can be used.
Of course, understanding is only understanding, but Zhu Zhen does not want generals like Zhang Xiulin. After all, this kind of practice of using any means to achieve his goal has exceeded the bottom line he pursues.
Look at the Zhang family infantry outside the military camp who was treated as bait by Zhang Xiulin. Look at the fate of those people. I am afraid that the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives to rush to the vicinity of Junshan would never have dreamed that they did not die under the crossbow of Junshan, but died under the volley of their friendly forces.
Those soldiers who could not close their eyes until death were silly ironic!”
This kind of imperial court and family have existed in China for decades, which is really ridiculous and hateful!"
Zhen couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that things are indeed impermanent.
However, this kind of military use that seemed difficult to understand to the people of Junshan seemed common to the nobles or bandit generals. At least the enemy's commander Zhang Xiulin didn't care about the sacrifices of the infantrymen who acted as bait. At most, he just regretted that the sacrifices of these baits did not give him enough rewards, causing the soldiers in Junshan to suffer as much casualties as expected.
However, Zhang Xiulin would not let his troops go to die for no reason, he just wanted to win.
To exaggerately, even if the sacrifice of the five thousand baits can be exchanged for the three thousand soldiers of Junshan, or even only two thousand soldiers of Junshan, Zhang Xiulin felt that it was profitable. After all, there would definitely not be many soldiers in the Junshan camp, but now they have a steady stream of reinforcements, and the casualty rate of Junshan soldiers is high, which will undoubtedly give a greater chance of conquering this military camp.
Unfortunately, today his tactics seemed to be seen through by the soldiers of Junshan, and did not achieve the expected gains, nor did they cause the morale of the soldiers of Junshan.
In the past, Zhang Xiulin would choose to withdraw temporarily and think about several tactics that can effectively kill the soldiers of Junshan, but today, he could only continue to attack with his teeth.
"The third team, attack! The longbowmen dived into the Junshan Mountain, suppressed the Junshan Mountain Bow Musketeers and the catapults, and gave cover to the infantry.
The second wave of the army's offensive had already arrived, and there were another battalion of 5,000 infantrymen, which was only three or four feet away from the military mountain.
At this distance, the military musketeers in the camp shot soldiers with muskets, just one shot at a time. Almost no one could fall to the ground and die.
At that time, the crossbow was the most unreasonable weapon on this battlefield, because no matter how high your martial arts are, you will definitely die if you shoot thousands of arrows at the same time.
This unreasonableness was completely replaced with the emergence of the musket.
Because muskets are stronger than bows, although they have various weaknesses of not as long as bows and the difficulty of loading crossbow arrows, the lethality of muskets in the middle and close range is definitely not even enough for bows to slap them.
I know that at mid-to-close distance, the projectiles shot from the musket can easily penetrate iron armor, and even ordinary wooden shields cannot withstand powerful muskets.
Faced with the continuous firearm attack on the walls of the Junshan Camp, the five thousand soldiers who formed the second round of attack burst into rows of blood and fell to the ground. But what's so bad is that even in such a dangerous situation, the infantrymen of the Zhang family's coalition still had to slow down.
Because a deep pit appeared in front of them.
In the deep pit, there are dense spears and bamboo spears with angles. On weekdays, there are iron bridges hanging from iron chains on this deep pit.
During the war, these iron bridges were ziplined back to the village wall and became giant shields."
Carrying corpses and stones to fill the big pit!" A Zhang family general shouted anxiously.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by two bullets in his chest. He saw him staring wide and making a few strange sounds of "cough cough" from his throat. He fell to the ground and died in the horror of the soldiers around him.
It was approaching. The soldiers were forced to stop the charge, which was too close to Junshan.
It seemed like it was only one or two feet away.
At such a close distance, even if the general with high martial arts skills is strong, he cannot withstand the powerful muskets.
The soldiers were frightened and helpless. The camp wall was only one or two meters away from them, but the distance between them seemed to be a distance of the world. No matter how hard they tried, they could not cross this chasm.
They jumped into the pit with the bullet fire curtain of Junshan's muskets. They grabbed the spears fixed on the ground with both hands, pulled them hard and shaking them, hoping to clear these obstacles that blocked the way.
Even if you can't fill it up, it's good to clear out a bumpy road.
But unfortunately, most of the soldiers had just touched the spears with their hands, and were shot to death by the soldiers on the walls of the military camp with muskets.
The warm blood of the soldiers was like a shocking blood-colored area flowing out at a distance of one or two feet from the military mountain. On this land that had been flooded with blood, there were densely filled with corpses of soldiers who died with their eyes closed.
『It's simply a massacre...』
Ru Taisu organized young and strong people to support the war, took time to look at it for a few times, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He
It is really impossible to estimate how many soldiers could not cross this trench. The first obstacle set up by the military mountain fell to a place only one or two feet away from the military mountain wall.
What made many soldiers even more desperate was that this trench was not the only obstacle ahead, the dense hook blades outside the wall of the military mountain camp.
The soldiers who intended to climb the village wall and attack the camp felt a strong sense of helplessness and depression.
The mountain embeds a large number of abandoned weapons into the village wall. Not to mention that they cannot climb up, they have to work hard to climb up. As long as they are pushed down by the push rod, they will be quickly cut through the belly by these hook blades.
At the same time, they also have to face the shooting of musketeers on the village walls.
The soldiers had no choice, because they knew very well that if they fled to the military mountain at this moment, the generals in their army would order the archers to kill them without hesitation.
They had no choice but to advance, brave the crossbow arrows of the military mountain.
Because only by winning the battle can they have the opportunity to survive and collect the wealth of Junshan.
However, when the offensive of 5,000 people failed to break through the first line of defense in the trench, and instead was easily harvested by the soldiers on the walls of the military mountain camp like shooting targets, the infantrymen of the Zhang family of the second wave of offensive finally approached collapse.
They cried and howled, and some even dared not face the cold and terrifying trenches and tried to escape on their backs, the Zhang family's infantrymen who formed the third wave of offensive arrived.
The Zhang family infantrymen holding swords and shields had no pity for the deserters who fled from the front line to the rear. They drove them with their weapons, forced the former friendly troops back to their original positions, forcing them to remove the spears fixed in the pit at the cost of their lives.
